alarmed over what appears to have been a
death from cholera. The Coroner at
Camden, who is also q physician. was
notified yesterday morning that Margaret
Kealey, a young Irish domestic on the
farm of Edward P. Hunt at Whitehorse,
had died suddenly on Wednesday evening.
Arriving there at noon the Coroner found
the body in an advanced stage of decompo-
sition. So offensive was it that it had be-
come necessary to remove it to an open
shed. In investigating the case Coroner
Beale found that the dead girl came from
Ireland two weeks ago. Her brother.
Michael Kealey, of Philadelphia, obtained
a place for her with Farmer Hunt ten days
before she died. On Wednesday evening

afterwards. The Coroner gave q certificate
OF death from congestion of the brain, due
to cholera morbus, and the body was taken
to the undertaker's in Philadelphia and
was to be buried at once. The house and
corpse were thoroughly disinfected. Cor
oner Beale afterwards continued his in
~vestigations and found that the symptoms
in the case were identical with those of

who was called in to attend the girl, did
not arrive until after her death, but he is
also OF the opinion that it is q case of true
cholera.
