STRANGE MALADY; FOUND IN OHIO One Dead And Others Seriously III; Caused From Eating Raw Pork Steubenville. 0.. Feb. 7—A strange malady, diagnosed by physicians as “trichinosis" has caused the death of one man and five others are in a dangerous condition. The malady, physicians said, proves fatal in almost every instance. The victims, all Italians, contracted the malady through eating uncooked pork at a supper at the home of the dead man. The disease germ, physicians said, is a worm that lives in the raw pork and which works into the muscles of the human stomach. Physicians were in doubt ns to cause of death until an autopsy was made last night. A physician from Mayo Brothers hospital, Rochester. Minn., was pressed into service in an effort to save the lives of the other vicitms. A novelty in building construction was effected in Miami. Fla., recently, win n a garage 18 by 36 was built on a frame work of old boiler tubes, electrically welded together, not a rivet or bolt being used in the entire building.
