1 1 Heart Trouble-Alcorn Nolles Rus
 sell Non-support Case-New Brit ain Teamster Goes to Jail.-Br1efs. Tvphoid fever claimed it's second victim of the epidemic now raging ' last evening when William Marshall
 one of the first to contract the dis | ease, passed away at his home on l Canal street. The young man had been confined to his bed for three weeks and while his condition had
 been critical for a number of days
 the progress he seemingly was mak- ing in the fight against the malady gave his many friend hope for his re-
 covery. Yesterday 1t was thought that he showed signs of improvement and when news of his death was cir culated last night surprise was gen.
 eral. The young man was among those thought to have contracted the disease from drinking milk shakes, the principal ingredient of which was thought to be contaminated.
 His funeral will be held Thursday afternoon at 2:30 from his home. Services will be conducted at the house, Rev. R. H. Burton, rector of the Church of Our Saviour, offciat-
 ing Interment will be in West ceme- tery.
 Mr. Marshall was nineteen years of age and was young man of most likeable personality. He had a host of friends in his home town who will mourn his passing. He was employed in the local mill of the Bristol Manu- featuring company until his illness forced him to give up. Mis- mother, Mrs. B. H. Bacon, and a step sister, Mrs. Futile, survive him.
 He was member of Court Gen. eral Lawton, F. of A. Chief Ranger John Murphy has called special meeting of that organization for 7:45 this evening to take action on his death.
 The fact that no additional cases have been reported during the past few days gives rise to the hope en- tertained by the health officer that the epidemic has practically run it's course. That the disease has not broken out in families supplied with milk by Lyman H. Burt, except in the Barnes home, does not serve to strengthen the theory that the typhus germs were in his stock before it was delivered. MT. Burt has made no eff fort to resume peddling, although the epidemic has not been traced definite ly to his place or the farms which supplied him. As long as there is any suspicion pointing to the belief that the milk he sold was contaminated from any source before he delivered it, he has told the health officer he Is willing to quit. He has shown a most commendable spirit from the start of the epidemic and the atti- tude he has taken has won him 8 great deal of sympathy. There Is general regret in town that he should have to suffer loss of patronage, even though it should be but tempor- ary, although he and his friends as well realize that the circumstances necessitated his selection as a victim of trouble attending the outbreak of the disease.
 Reports in circulation today of new cases were denied by the attending physicians. It was said this morning that George Farrar is the latest to contract the fever but the doctor car | ing for him denies that a typhus 1 diagnosis has been made. The young l man has been III for a few days and | the fact that he has a high tempera- ] ture is causing his friends some l alarm. As yet, the doctors declare, l no symptoms of the disease has be- ] come manifest.
 Father Walsh Very III.
 Rev. Henry T. Walsh, pastor of the Church of Our Lady of Mercy, and | the oldest clergyman in town, both in point of age and in years of service as minister of the gospel, lies dan on Broad street, and there is general { concern among his parishioners and friends over his condition. pr. Whipple of Bristol, the attending phy- sician, and pr. Boucher of Hartford were in consultation on his case last evening. Father Walsh is suffering from a bad attack of heart trouble and on account of his age and gen. eral physical condition, is causing ! considerable apprehension.
 Father Walsh celebrated mass last | Wednesday and was able to be around the house until Saturday when he was stricken. He has since been l under the care of doctors.
 Dr. Whipple told the Herald today that the priests condition is admitted ly precarious. Nevertheless he did l not believe him to be in immediate danger. A trained nurse is attending the stricken pastor.
