The.surrounding c'om( munities are becoming greatly alarmk -ed and as a result business in Salem tas been practically suspended, and } the town is quieter than it has been I for years. Within the corporate limI.-. its there is alsp much anxiety and uneasiness. That there have been many . exposures every one knows and no one knows how soon lie may become i" a victim of this loathsome disease. , There have been in the neighborhood of fifty cases and four or five deaths. And at this time twenty cases v are reported", but all are under quarantine and every effort possible is be. ing made to stamp out the disease. The great danger, however, is that - -It may spread to such an extent as Jo [ get entirely beyond the control of lot cal anthorities and the health boards. | All the churches were closed Sat> -TirvSav and Sunrlav. The nostoffice is i heing closely guarded and not more i than three persons are allowed in it 1: at any one time.

The old boiler house 011 the Belt Lino has been fitted up with ail ? the necessary equipment for the manufacture of gas stoves, heaters, stove1' pipe, etc. The foundry building is new and -complete in every detail. I-Iere all the castings will be made, and addition?? buildings contain the engine, press, fans, lathes and cleaners. The -cnpola Is the most complete in litis section. This company now owns all the patterns formerly owned by the Wiggintou and Sheets foundry, and i has some of tlie best equipment for ' all kinds of castings in tliis part of the State. W. Ed Means has charge of this department.: and he is one of the ) most practical moulders and fouitdryjaen in the country. This new indusi try starts out under favorable condi" tions and will likely grow to be one of the leading industries in the city. The Fairmont Wall Plaster Company is extending its business to include the manufacture of cement, hollow brick and building stone. The machinery and material are on hand ' and the new department will be in operation as soon as the buildings are completed, which will be in a couple of weeks.

NEW HAVEN AND HARTFORD LINE ?TWO MEN WERE KILLED AND SEVERAL .INJURED?TRAIN HAD BEEN SUBJECT OF RUMORS CONCERNING ROBBERS AS IT CARRIED $500,OCO IN BULLION. POETCHESTER, N. Y., May 10.? Two men were killed and several others were injured in the wreck of the Adams Express train on New York, New Haven and Hartford at 1:05 this morning. The dead are Patrick Keenart, Engineer of Boston; John Howe, Fireman of Boston. Several members of the train crew were hurt hut not seriously. The train was composed of sixty express cars with through express matters for Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington. ft left Boston at G: 30 last night and carried bullion and other property, aggregating $500,000 in value. This is the train about which there have been vague rumors that robbers were planning to wreck and loot. The wreck of this morning, however, seems to have been purely accidental. It is thought that the engineer tried to-make a cross over switch at too ynonri The result was that tjie engine and two cars went over, a fifty foot embankment into the By rum river. Traffic was not seriously delayed by the accident. POTS NEWS STORE CHANGES HANDS? ARTHUR G. MARTIN BECOMES THE OWNER AND WILL CONSOLIDATE HIS TWO STORES.
