  DEATH FROM SPOTTED FEVER - On Sunday morning, Mr. J.W. Cawson, Jr., late of 
Isle of Wight, died at his mother's residence, No. 209 Fourth street.  His 
disease was cerebro-spinal meningitis, or spotted fever.  He was troubled 
last week with eruptions like boils on the back of his neck.  These gave him 
little pain or inconvenience, but they were succeeded by unmistakable symptoms 
of cerebro-spinal meningitis.  On Saturday morning his flesh became spotted, 
and at three o'clock in the afternoon he became insensible and remained so 
until he died.  The deceased was employed at Tony Zatelle's restaurant. He had 
relatives in Norfolk and in Isle of Wight.
