D. P. [sic] Baldwin, formerly editor and proprietor of the Hope News Journal, is lying at his home in Hope, in a dan­gerous condition from a severe attack of typhoid fever. Just prior to his taking ill he closed the contract for the New Era, a Democratic weekly at Greens­burg. At one time yesterday Baldwin’s temperature reached the alarming point of 118. At noon today he was reported somewhat better, but there is yet no hope for his recovery.
