By Associated Press.
WILKESBARRE, Jan. 10.-The family of Louis Garland, a miner, who lives in Dorrancetown, has been visited by an extraordinary series of calamities during the past fortnight.
Twelve days ago Garland met with an accident which crippled him for life. Two days later his wife died, and on the fifth day after the accident his infant child died. The youngest son, who was then the sole support of the family, was killed in the mine in which he was employed. Another child, aged 11, died of typhoid fever on the day after the son was killed, and to-day a daughter, 17 years old, fell a victim to the same disease.
The only remaining members of the unfortunate family are two daughters, both of whom are very ill with typhoid fever.
