A Family that Has Been Sadly Afflicted.

  The hand of death has been heavily laid upon the family of Mr. Ludwig
Hartel, No. 1117 Eleventh avenue.  Three members of the household - one
son and two daughters - have within a little more than two months been
called to their long home, all dying of typhoid fever, directly or
indirectly.  Miss Lizzie Hartel expired at her father's residence about
half past 8 o'clock last evening.  The young lady had for some time
previous to the death of her sister, Mrs. Petschall - whose funeral she
was called home to attend -resided in Philadelphia.  After the burial
of her sister her brother, Louis, was taken sick and died, and
subsequently the disease was communicated to Lizzie.  She was
convalescent, however, and on Friday, Saturday and Sunday was able to
walk about the house.  On Sunday night she was taken with violent
hemorrhage of the bowels, which in the end so weakened her that she
died last night.  She was a very estimable young lady and her death
will be greatly regretted.  Three other members of the family - two
sons and a daughter - are at present down with the fever.
