Here is the way the cities reported today : Philadelphia Deaths for five 'J eeks ending December 31, 141. Seventy two deaths last week. No cases not reported. Deaths from pneumonia in December 8S1, last week 284. New York Epidemic "widespread Marked increase number of deaths, particularly to persons over 65 years old. Boston Pneumonia cases doubled.
