PARALYSIS TAKES LIVES OF 42 MORE; 167 NEW CASES Increase of Eleven Deaths Over Friday's Record At- tributed to Weather, SERUM NEEDED. MORE Health Department Maps Show How Disease Spreads in Certain Areas. An increase of eleven over yester- day in the number of deaths and of two in new cases of infantile paral- yals was reported by the Health De- partment to-day. While experts are unable to deter- mine just what ca these daily fluctuations in the paralysis figures, the theory was advanced that a slackening of the cool wave which visited New York Thursday and yes- terday was in a measure responsible for to-day's increase, Brooklyn, however, has shown a gratifying decrease within the last few days. On Thursday eighty-four cases were reported, yesterday there were seventy-three and to-day sixty- one. Manhattan, on the other hand, has shown a gradual increase, There were forty-four cases Thursday, fifty yesterday and fifty-six to-day, The record for Manhattan Is, seventy-six cases on Aug. 1 Following are the tables of deaths and new cases to-day, compared with those of yosterda DEATHS.

PETROGRAD, Aug. 12 (via Lon- don)—Ruasian troops in Galicia have crossed the River Koroplec and cap- tured two villages on the opposite bank, it was announced to-day by the War Office. Ge Letchitsky’s forces have crossed the Zlota Bvistritza River, near Stanislau, in their pursuit of the Austrians, and the Czarna Bvis- | tritza River, in the region of Nadvor- na, twenty-two miles southeast of Stanislau. Following the capture of Stanislau, Gen, Letchitzky is pressing with un- abated vigor the movement to turn |the right flank of the army of Gen, |von Bothmer., Halicz, sixteen miles north of Stanislau, appears likely to fall before the Russians in the near future. The Austrians are falling back on this point, pursued closcly by Russian cavalry, which ts giving the Teutonic forces no time to reforin their disordered ranks and prepare to make a serious stand, Halicz always has been regarded as the key to Lemberg. Once the Russians are in possession of that town, they will have before them no natural obstacles and will have plen- ty of good roads to Lemberg. ‘The capture of Monastersyska, ten miles north of the Dnister, by Gen. Scherbatchoff, who threw his troops across the Zlota Lipa to co-operate with the forces of Gen, Letchitzky on the right bank of the Dniester, south of Mariampol, broadens the line of attack upon Halicz, The wedge is being driven relentlessly back og Gen von Bothmer's Tarnopol position and promiges te put this Austrian force in @ trot from which it will find it difficult to extreate tself South of Brody Gen.

Wallace Snyder Had One Each in East Orange, Har- rison and Mount Vernon, Three enchanted tenants of William Wallace Snyder's heart were more than disturbed, some months after hie heart had ceased to beat, to learn that the graduate of New York Uni- versity and prominent lawyer and real-estate operator of New Jersey, had maintained three homes for twenty-five years within ten miles of one another and had three wives, ardent church workers, who took an active part with him in his business transactions, Through the death of Mr. Snyder in Mt. Vernon, N. Y., in February, 1916, the great secret of his life leaked out with the reading of his will, The public was kept in the dark regarding the triple life of the wealthy lawyer until wife No. at whose home he expired, commenced suit In the New Jersey courts to se- cure possession of the home occupied by wife No. 2, at No, 318 Seventh Street, Harrison, N. J, According to the records, Snyder, in 1876, courted and won the heart and hand of Phoebe Baldwin, one of the society belles of the Oranges. He was in his prime at that time, a great athlete with a lucrative law practice that, during the week, called him away from home several days, MARRIED SECOND WIFE 800N AFTER THE FIRST. Shortly after his marriage to Mis» Baldwin, Miss Lucinda Pabst, a pretty girl, arrived in Trenton, N, J. There she met Mr. Snydor, wnao at that time was proprietor of @ flour- ishing dry goods and notion busine: both in Newark and Trenton, To put the story in her own words, she fell in love with him at firat sight and then he pald court to her. After several months of courtahig, Miss Pabst avers, she became the wife of Snyder and went to an elaborately furnished home at Har. rison, N, J., with the man she claimed as her husband, Wife No, 8 fits Into the quadrangu- lar love affair with the filing of » will signed by Snyder, with the off!. clale at White Plains, N. ¥.
