Measles Epidemic and Fireside News Across States
A sprawling list of incidents from across the Midwest and South reports counterfeit silver in Reading, a fatal traffic collision in McCuneville, a series of factory seizures in Burlington, and numerous deaths by accident or violence from Ohio to Georgia. The roundup mentions measles among schoolchildren near Danville, a brakeman killed in Virginia, hangings in Georgia, burglaries, and a spree of railroad and streetcar accidents. It captures a nation-wide stream of calamities and political notes, including Samoa and congressional topics, with Secretary Bayard defending policy and President Harrison preparing appearances in Cincinnati.
