1 WOMAN BURNED Br EXPLOSION OF LAMP Mr. Bridget McHale, a Widow, Was Injured by Fire in Her Apart ments Last Night. Mi's. Bridget McHale, a widow, aged thirty nine years, was admitted to the State hospital last evening suffering terribly from wounds she sustained by being burned in her own rooms at 133 Mylert avenue as result of the ex plosion of a lamp. Mrs.

McHale was attending to her household duties when the accident occurred. At about 7 o'clock in the evening she went to one of the rooms and taking the kerosene lamp In her hand she tried to carry it into the next room. As she got between the doors the lamp exploded, her clothes catching on Are. The violent screams of the frenzied woman attracted the attention of Mrs. Wlillam Moran, who occupies the lower floor of the house, and several of the neighbors of the adjoining houses, who rushed to the suffering woman's res cue.

A blanket was procured and Mrs McHale was covered with It, and thus the flames were extinguished. She was taken to a nearby drug store and from there to the hospital. In the meanwhile a still alarm was sent in to Engine company No. 5 which responded at once. With the aid of chemicals the Are was extinguished before the flames gained much head way, The.

damage may amount to about two hundred dollars. The building is a two story frame affair and is owned by William Moran Mra.

Unknown Foreigner Found on Lehigh Valley Depot Platform, An unknown foreigner wag found on the platform of the Lehigh Valley de pot at Plttston yesterday morning frozen to death.

While nothing defi nite is known of the affair, it was thought by the authorities that the man was Intoxicated and unable to care for himself. The frigid form of the dead foreigner was found about 6 o'clock by Charts Redding, a young man employed as night ticket agent at the station. Redding had just stepped from the pas senger depot with the intention of go Ing into the freight office adjoining, when he almost stumbled over the body. The young man Immediately notified, the officials and later an un dertaker took charge of the remains. In the pockets of the dead man was a partly filled bottle of liquor and a small piece of paper on which several words were written in a foreign lan guage.

The general belief is that the dead man Is either a resident of Upper Plttston or Duryea. His Identity will probaDly not be known until and frlnmls of those that are number ed the missing will visit the morgue. RUNAWAY TRAIN. Crashed Into Another, Causing a Bad WreckTrainmen Jumped. Coal train No.

The figures are more startling when it is understood that the cases devel oped between 9 o'clock of Tuesday evening and 8 clock of last evening. In other words there were 51 cases in less than twenty four hours. It is the fourth largest record of the epidemic and the greatest number since Dec. 21. On the last mentioned date, there were 82 cases within 24 hours.

On Tuesday no case was reported after noon, so the record of yesterday repre sents the cases of one entire day. Moreover, the mortality is increasing alarmingly. There were nve cieams from typhoid fever yesterday and the mortality from now, on will be great, because of the fact that the first cases of the epidemic are now in the critical stasre. The Increased seriousness of the sit uation has spurred the. authorities on to new activities, as will be seen from the reports following.

And still many people discredit the ability of tha phy sicians to tell typhoid when they see it! It Is this ignorance which the au thoritles have to combat and the state of mind Just mentioned Is keeping t.ie epidemic In full swing. When the pub 11c appreciates the fact that In boiled water only Is there Immunity, then and only then will the fruits of their precaution be seen In the returns. THE DEATHS OF A DAT. Four deaths from typhoid fever was the record of yesterday. Among the dead are the first patients of the epi demlc.

If the rate of mortality con tinues as established yesterday, the ep Idemic will number scores among its victims. The majority of the persons who died yesterday were young peo ple, and that has been largely the case throughout the epidemic. The official returns throughout the epidemic have been very Incomplete as to deaths. Con sequently no official returns can be given. In the following Instances the record Is obtained from the burial certificates alone.

The dead are: Benjamin Throop Foulke, son of Dr. Samuel Foulke, deceased. Mr. Foulke was twenty eight years of age. Amelia Gudhelnz, nine years of age, daughter of Mr.

Herman Gudhelnz, of 501 Hampton street. W. J. Reed, twenty two years of age, son of Mr. George J.

Reed, 1301 Sloane avenue. John Llnkinzetz, of Luzerne street, died at the Hahnemann hsspitah was admitted about a week ago. "7 A. Ball, 8 Just Right place, died from the fever at an early hour this morning, making the death roll fcr the past twenty four hours reach five, more than double any previous day's record. At the State hospital aro several cases that are considered very 'critical and the death rate muy be largely In creased today.

How earn ire do It? Itasluaple. Let tell yon. slon they are regarded as the result of almost criminal negligence on the part of persons having the care of ty phoid cases. To anticipate the return or spread of infection, the department issued two orders yesterday which will be rigidly enforced. The first step In this direction will be the free supply, of lime and its distribution by employes of the depart ment in all ditches and drains about the city.

Few sections of Scranton have open drainage, but in portions of the South Side, Minooka, Dunmore and outlying suburbs open drainage Is common. The consequences of infec tion from such a source are so awful as to call for rigid treatment. The second step is the notice to all householders in unsewered districts to see to it that all slops and refuse is emptied into one particular spot and that unslacked lime, supplied by the department; be scattered over the spot frequently. Health officers will re ceive instruction on the enforcement of this order and it is the Intention of the health department to see that it is rigidly enforced. Much has been said of the necessity of disinfecting utensils, linen and all other things used about the sickroom There is little room for comment in that respect, except to Impress it upon the minds of those in charge of cases.

Negligence in any of these respects is regarded as nothing less than crim inal. DISTRIBUTION OF CASES. A glance at the tables of yesterday demonstrates the continued immunity of the North End and Petersburg from typhoid fever. In fact, wherever the Elmhurst mains are not laid there is little or no fever. There were no cases yesterday in either the North End or Petersburg.

The central city had 19 Green Ridge 13 and the West Side 14 West Scranton has a total of 225 cases the central city 196, and Green Ridge 118. In proportion to its population Green Ridge has perhaps the greatest percentage of cases. Against, these figures the immunity of the North End is striking. There are but 23 cases in that entire section, having a popu latlon greater than Green Ridge. The same is true of Petersburg, with a population almost equal to Green Ridge, yet it has bur 10 cases.

One nurse from out the city reported to Miss O'Holleran yesterday. The dis trict work is progressing satisfactorily and the department again emphasizes the necessity of reporting there by securing the visits of the district nurses free of charge. REPORTS NOT WITHELD. Dr. Keller took occasion yesterday morning to deny statements made, in a newspaper to the effect that the de partment was concealing the real ser iousness of the typhoid situation, be cause of Its effect on the Christmas season trade.

Not only is the report denied, but the doctor Stated that the records will be open to all newspaper men and others alike. Further water tests were made by Dr. Arndt, city bacteriologist, yesterday. He reported that, while no typhoid bacilli were found, yet the next of kin to the typhoid bacillus was Idert tified. He is known as the colon germ and is often in the bad company of a typhoid brother.

In addition to the water test, the doctor gave the unequivocal statement that the city water and not the milk Is the source of the present contagion. He has made repeated tests of the milk and these tests and other corrob orating evidence convince him that tho Infection Is from water alone. He also stated that he had found typhoid bacll lus in over sixty five per cent, of the cases submitted to him by making blood tests. Moreover, lest the public forget, he declared that the type of the disease in ail the cases he had exam ined was severe and that the sooner the public gets that Impression the better for all concerned. ARREST GARBAGE MEN.

Orders have, been issued by the de partment relative to the destruction of garbage. Every can of garbage col lected is to be sent to the city crema tory for disposal. Housekeepers are cautioned to use every precaution in the destruction of garbage. This is particularly true In houses Infected. Four persons employed in the col lection of garbage were arrested yesterday and given a hearing before Magistrate Millar in police court In the afternoon charged with violating a city ordinance by collecting garbage with the Intent to take It to some point other than the city crematory.

The men brought before the magis trate were: Richard Luecke and Otto Lueck. brothers. West Elm street, arrested by Christian Rose; William Giles, of P.irncy avenue, arrested by Peter Marker, and Annele Nopollto, of Farview avenue, arrested by Patrolman Connery. Muglslrate Millar suspended sen tence, reprimanding the men to take precaution In the future and not to violate the ordinance. COUNCIL MEETS TONIGHT.

Many rumors are afloat as to whether or not councils will do any thing in regard to the fever at their meetings tonight. Of course all talk of buying the water company's plant has been long since abandoned and was. in fact, never seriously consid ered. The constitution prohibits In nirilna any such Indebtedness as the purchase of the works would Incur. Home talk Is heard, having in mind the remedy of the Moscow sewerage question.

It Is said that a sewer could be built which', entering Roaring Brook below No 7 reservoir, would relieve the actual supply of any danger of contamination.
