The police of this city were a little

Outbreaks of Mariana nt DiDhtherla
Journal of Aiutrieau Mctllral Apkol-UUoii.
Since November 1 outbreaks of malig
nant diphtheria have been reported from
Bruincrd, Minn., Moline, III., New Or
leans, Wubasb, Ind., Galesburg. 111.,
Coxackie, N. Y., Waterloo, Iowa, Ox
ford Junction. Iowa, and several other
places. During the month of October
at Moline, III., there were '. casses and
VI deaths, and during the first 1? days
of November 41 cases, with a similar
death-rate. In New Orleans diphtheria
has been more than usually prevalent
during the past few months. The extent
to w hich it has prevailed in New Orleans
of late months is something of a novelty
for that city. The statistics of the board
of In ulth show that the number of cases
of diphtheria has been on the increase
for several years past, and this year the
yiruhiice of the disease has redoubled
This fact, taken in conjunction with the
almost total immunity from this trouble
enjoyed in the past by this city, proves
the existence in New Orleans of condi
tions and unsanitary influences that di
not previously prevail.
in .ew Ui leans t tic disease is not par
ticuiarly virulent In localities, hut is
scattered all over the city, with exception
of tli Carrollton district, where no cases
have occurred. It lias attacked indis
criiueneutly white and black, and has
visited as well the homes of the rich as
the abodes of poverty. The system of
issolating the sick by flagging the dwell
ings In which diphtheria exists has
proved effective, as the number of casts
is steadily diminishing, so that there is
very prospect that the disease will soon
be stamped out. During the first 10 days
of August there were 09 cases, during
iiKe period in reptemoer 77 cases, m
cto' r .s cases, ami during the same
numb -r cif davs in November but 44 cases
were reported, Whilst fighting the dis
ease the board of health has watched
every detail That might throw light on
the ciusjs producing it. AU infected
pretni.-es have been thoroughly examined
is to local and surrounding sanitary con
dition', and all information has been
carefully tabulated. The board of health
officials complain of the utter indiffer
ence :-!iovn by citizens generally to sani
tary measures. This accusation, whilst
probably just, is one that can be brought
agaiiiot the citizens of many other com
munities than New Orleans.
In Wabash, Ind., more than a dozen
deaths had occurred up to November 18.
Disj);Ui hes frnm Wabash state that " the
malady was at iirst thought bv local
physicians to be membraneous croup,and
was s.j treated, but at a council held it
was decided that it was diphtheria. The
scorf-j is eonhneti to children whose aires
range from 1 to 10 years. I: very ca.-e has
so far proved fatal, and the patient dy
ing within two or three daj-s.. The
sympt n:s are all similar to those seen in
croup of the most mailgiiart form."
At Oxford Junction, Iowa, the epi
demic is now subdued, but while it lasted
there were 100 cases and 42 deaths. At
Waterloo, Iowa, the town officials issued
a " quarantine" proclamation, closing
indefinitely all schools, churches and Sun
day schools, and ordering that all per
sons .lying of the disease be burried
within twenty-four hours.J
At Coxssck-e,. N. Y.f diphtheria was
spread in the following ii;nrjer: The
body of a child, aged 1) years, who died
at Gwilderland. was brought to that vil
lage hi an open wagon November l0,not
disinfected, and buFricd there. The
co.'Iin was opened at the irrave and
viewe I by the members of the family.
Since ihe-; of those who viewed the body,
an aunt died on the J?th, a brother aged
4, oa the 14th. The state board notified
the hedrh officer that he must quarantine
any persons affected with the disease.
A dispatch of November 10 says:
" Diphtheria is still raging in Galesburg,
III. Many deaths are reported and many
new cases are daily coming to light. The
health ofijeers are making a thorough
investigation as to it causes, and have
just oinc to the conclusion that iue yjiter
in ill. school building had something to
do v. Iih it, and consequently have order
ed it shut off."
jjf.iiueria made its appearance in
Yerniiilion county, 111., about November
14, and soon broke out in the village of
ilo-sville. Cases exist in many families,
The public schools were all closed on
November 2-i. No religious seryices are
bein held on Sundays, and no public
mceling of any kind will be allowed for
four weeks. Business ia retarded, and
the thizens are greatly alarmed over the
inalh"ianc? of the disease, but hope by
strut measures to prevent its further
spread.
ljirmtnena is properly classed anions:
the preventable diseases. Iu spite of this,
and of the many and repeated outbreaks
of . disease, two of the most difficult
thin ;s known to sanitarian are to get
the . rople interested in sanitary measures
to in extent sufficient to assist hciiiil;
jtri-'-T!. and to g-t the newspapers to

It seems to be a singular trait ot

1 he property located on the corner
of Sixth and Main streets, for many
years owned by Mr. Fred Stadlemann,and
now n as the Stadelmann house, was sold
on what was thou-jht to be rather short
notice, this morning, to a Mr. J. E.
O'Rik-y, of Omaha, thp consideration
eiii.r aloiu 10,lRu. 1 iic location is
considered one of the niost. promising in
the city, and we consider Mr. O'Riley a
very fortunate man in securing such a
desirable lot. We have learned that
it a hU intention to make good use
of the property for lie has al
ready signified his intentions of build
ing a fine hotel on that corner. The
proposed new building will cost some
thing in the yicinify of 50,000, and for
that amount a hotel coul 1 bevbuilt there
which would add vastly to the general
appearance of our Main street. As the
city has been very much iu need of such
an accommodati n for many years, we
cannot sec but that the investment will
be a profitable one in yarious ways. Mr.
O'Hiley will taj;c possession on the first
day of March next. Mr. Stadelmann has
not 3et decided on his future course, but
as he and his wife have resided in the
city for many yeara and have received
rich compensation for their industry, we
trust that they may not then make up
their nrnds to desert us.

the bliamus O linen ' company
played to a fair house here last night,
The impersonation of fetham us O'Brien by
ylr. Verner, showed up the true Irish
"laracter to perfection. His songs and
.ticisms exhibited the Irish element in
ciie assemblage and at times the audience
is so affected by the artist's perfect
,vork that no sound but the voices of the
actors could be heard. The piece sparkled
with abundance of Irish wit, and the
whole play represented the natural life
of the Irish people at home as truly as
possible. The sound of the Irish bag
pipes introduced in the play, and the
familiar tunes played upon them, almost
brought some of the hoary headed Irish
men in the audience to their feet, judg
ing by the thumping the floor received.
Mr. Jas. Ellington, and wife, an aged
couple living near Rock Bluffs, narrowly
escaped being killed yesterday afternoon
by a runaway team. As they were driv
ing over Fifth street hill, which has re
cently been graded and opened up as a
street, the mule timidity of the team was
arotisrd at tlje sight of some object, and
as they reached the bottom of the hill
turned suddenly to the right aud ran as
far as Fourth street along the ajley south
of Main street. As they turned the old
couple was thrown to the ground aud
severely shaken up. The old gentleman's
shoulder was dislocated by the fall, but
the old lady received no other injuries
than a few bruises. They were both for
tunate to escape with their lives. The
old gentleman is about sixty five or sev
enty years of age.
-The appointment of a city weigh-
master in this city, whose duty it would
be to m ike an official investigation of all
weights and also to inspect all measures
made of wood etc., would certainly be a
benefit to the citizens at large who are
obliged to pay dearly for what they get
and occasionally what they don't git.
The citizens are entitled to such an
officer, and could well afford to pay him
a handsome salary to do his duty. Now,
it is the duty of the city fathers to ap
point a man to fill such a position, and
we feci certain that such a move would
be heartily endorsed by the majority oi
people who are occasionally obliged to
suffer loi-s on account of the absence of
such an ofliper.
