Just ~ We anticipated two days ago. It will be seen,
from the report Of the Sanitary Committee that cho
lers was the increase yesterday result that may
be accounted for by the Odd Fellows
braton Of Monday night. On these occasions, q few
will always indulge to and pay the penalty in
diarrhea cholera morbus. Even mon who could not
be accused Of intemperance were exhausted by
marching in the procession, under burning sun and
drinking cold water that they have been with
spasms and dysentery One of the New York and Har-
lem railway conductors, named CoHant the
tvity on Monday night, and took Ill next day. Fortu-
natey he Is restored to health. Is worthy OF
remark that proportion Of deaths to cases is very
small, not only compared with the cholera in 1892
but as pared with the mortality since 1t commenced
during the last month The fatal only to
every six In 1882 they nearly half fatal The diff
ference be accounted for In either of three ways
First, as some think have not Asatic cholera at
ALL second, though 1t does exist, it Is modified to
milder and less fatal form; third the malignant type
exists now, and fatal in 1892 where 1t actually
takes possession OF Its victims but it Is not extensive
now as then, nor 80 extensive now ~ people imagine
common cholera morbus being COMPOUNDED with in pri
vats practice Thslatter alternative, have doubt
Is the true else how for the
ordinary difference between the mortality in the ho
Ptsi and in private practice. In the hospital the
deaths were yesterday reported to be about in
three in private practice one in nine. The solution
OF the difficulty is that not onethird of the in
other possible solution, and it Ia this-that the
phi ysicaps do net report half the deaths
priv practice as well on their own account a. be-
cause the friends of the deceased publicity
One Of the most recent fatal occurred in WASH
