The double-ender Cornelia H., the new boat
for the Peoples Ferry Company, came up
from Bath yesterday. having a party of Cape
Elizabeth gentlemen on board, among whom
were number of the owners and leading men
OF the village. The party went to Bath in
the seven o'clock train yesterday morning and
started on the return trip at a quarter before
twelve o'clock. The steamer made good time
down the river but owing to the fact that the
fires were allowed to 60 down when off the
mouth of the river. the passage to the city oc-
cupied the entire afternoon, the boat reaching
her mooriDgs at Ferry Village at quarter be-
fore six, having been just six hours on the
trip.
Mr. Spear stated that the new boat more
than equaled the expectations of her own
ers. They are perfectly satisfied with the en-
CINE and boiler and found the steamer exceed
ingly seaworthy. She minds her helm with
promptness. A considerable number of Bath
people saw the start and listened to the music
of the band which accompanied the Portland
party. The steamer goes on her route Mon
day morning and for the present will land on
the east side of Custom House wharf just be-
low the landing place of the steamer Gordon.
During the day she will make two round
trips an hour.
Last evening the residents of Ferry Village,
many of whom had watched for the arrival of
the boat during the afternoon, avaled them
selves of the privilege of examining the craft.
The Cornelia q. looks like serviceable boat,
but is as unprepessessing in appearance as all
double enders. She will carry three teams at
one time and large number of passengers.
The landing stage in the Cape Elizabeth side
is being built and will soon be completed.
Capt. James King will be in command of the
steamer,

YELLOW FEvER.
Experience of Portland Bound Vessel.


Yesterday morning the brigantine Anna P.
Odell of st. Andrews, N. B., Can't. William
Lipsett, arrived in this port with cargo of
sugar, consigned to Geo. s. Hunt & Co., from
Fajsrdo, Porto Rico. When boarding officer
w. S. Wells Of the Custom House visited the
brig shortly after her arrival, the captain
stated that he had had two cases of yellow
fever on board, and that one man was sick at
the time, although he was not thought to have
the fever. The captain said that while at
Fsjardo one of the mates was taken sick and
died OF yellow fever. The vessel sailed on the
18th of May with no cases on board, but
during the passage the other mate was taken
sick and died of the disease. The man now
sick has been confined to his bunk for over
twenty days, and Capt. Lipsett was OF the
opinion that his illness could not be yellow
fever. The passage, as far as the weather was
concerned, was uneventful.
Harbor Master Chase placed the vessel in
quarantine and raised the proper signals. The
brigantine is anchored off Diamond Island,
exactly on line extending from the Marine
Hospital to Fort Gorges. where she will remain
until there is no danger in allowing her to
come up to the city and discharge her cargo.
A meeting of the Board of Mayor and Alder
men was called, upon receipt of the news of
tho arrival of the Odell, to take such measures
as might be necessary to provide against in
lection from the vessel being communicated to
the city, but after some interchange of views
it was decided that all necessary legislation
was conferred by statute and ordinances on the
o~l - H. "a ~.
man.
During the afternoon, the vessel was visited
by DR.. Chas d. Smith, City Physician and
Health Officer, and Surgeon Jas. A. Gassaway
of the U. S. Marine Hospital. a thorough in
spection of the vessel and crew was made by
the physicians, and an examination of the log
ELECTED the following information:
While at Faisrdo, the mate, Wm. II. Clark,
aged 80, native of Sidney, New South Wales,
died Of yellow fever, April %, after an illness
of four days.
On May LIST, a seaman, Jacob Matt, aged
40, of Hamburg, dropped dead after only q
slight illness of a day or two
The vessel sailed May 18th, and on that day
the second mate. David Close, aged %, a native
of Ireland, died of SO called malarial fever.
He had been sick since April 18th. He was
buried at sea the day following.
There has been no sickness aboard since
thafdate, except in case of the steward, who
was sick when shipped at Fsjardo, and has
been confined to his bunk for the past q days.
His disease was found to be diabetes, and he
will be removed to the Marine Hospital this
morning.
The vessel has been at sea % days, and there
are no signs of yellow fever aboard. She will
remain at quarantine in charge of the Health
Officer until thoroughly fumigated and
ceansed, and will probably be allowed to
come up to her dock some time the first OF the
coming week. The clothing of the dead sea.
men will be destroyed and all necessary pre-
cautions will be taken by the proper officers
There is no occasion for any fear of an invasion
of yellow fever.
