~taiuntory burglary. l-‘ox pleaded
guilty, and was bound over to till“

The man‘s attempt at robbing was a
hold one, and he chose the rectory of
St. Joseph‘s Church, ill South Mum,

Fox, illlioubtcdly a gentleman of

Two new cases of infantile paralyV
sis developed in this city over Sunv
day. and both are reported as being of.
quite. a serious nature.
The first one reported to Health
Officer William J. Tracey was that of
Paul Welsburg. aged two years. The
family, consisting of the parents and
three children, ("allit' here from llr0ok-
iyn, New York, about six weeks ago,
and moved to the house at it? Cedar

liv‘lng at No. H Sixteenth street,
where the ,epidenlic is still racing.
Dr. Rosenthai was called tu'utlen'i
the child here. and yesterday after-
noon he reported to llr. 'i‘ruccy that
he was satisfied that it was a (‘llx‘t‘ of
infantile paralysis: Both the child's
logs and the left arm were afftn‘ted.
and he could not walk. Dr. 'I‘racArr

other two children.
Yesterday's second case of the
dread disease occurred at 112 flexing-
ton avenue, the victim being Francis
Prunctti, aged two years. The child
is of liaiian parentage, and the fam-
ily has only recently arrived in Nor-
walk from Seventh Avenue, near 28th;
Street. New York City. Dr. Francis 1.:
Burnell bu been in attendance at the;
Pruncltl home. and it was he who
notified Health omcer Tracey of diet
cxlatance of the case, this morning. i
The physicians of the town are‘
again urging parents to keep their
children on their own premises, and:
not allow them to play with others in t
the neighborhood. This is the only
way possible to stop the spread of the i
disease, it is claimed. and the advice
of the health authorities should be
heeded.
There are new live supposed cases
in the city, and the first one in Lex-
