New YORK, Sept 15.-The health In
spectors have reported another case OF
cholera. The victim, Mary Connity, 10
years old, residing at 692 Second ave-
nue., has been removed to the St Johns
Guild floating hospital at the foot OF
East Sixteenth street
Two suspected cases Of cholera were
found in Brooklyn yesterday. A young
German girl, whose name could not be
learned, residing at 526 State street,
was one, and Simon Colinslsi, Of North
Seventh street, Williamsburg, the other.
The German girl died in few hours.
She had been in this country since last
February Both cases are being care
fully investigated.
The Investigations Of the Herald have
shown where the cholera probably
came from, at least in one case, and sug-
gested the source of the other conta-
gions 1t came through the port of New
York. Immigrant passengers on the
steamer Friesland who arrived here on
August 80, seemed to have brought the
disease to Little Minnie Levenger who
died on September II. They are traced
back TO Antwerp, which they reached
from other cities in Europe, no doubt
infected with cholera. When they
reached quarantine there was illness re-
ported on board and after few hours
detention and so called fumigation, they
were permitted to proceed.
From the steamship pier the passen-
gers scattered over the city and the
country. Four young women of the
company went to No All East Forty
sixth street, where little Minnie lived.
1t tappears that being greatly interested
in the child they spent some idle hours
playing with it. There is every reason
to believe that the infection was in their
clothing; that they innocently carried
1t about with them, escaping its dan
gers themselves, and that from their
clothing the child got the disease which
carried the little one off in twenty-four
hours.
Mayor Grant has issued proclama-
ton to the public, in which he says the
health department has shown entire
competence to deal with the cholera
He anticipates no spread Of the epi
demic and asks the people to have conf
dence in the provisions adopted by the
board for the safety Of the people. He
also invites their aid in enforcing sani
tary regulations for the maintenance o.
health.
1t was decided by the health board Il
send all immigrants who are sick OF
Ellis Island directly to North Brothers
Island by boat, instead of through the
city Us formerly.
Mr.. j. Picrpont Morgan, treasurer oi
the chamber of commerce quarantine
fund, reported that up to date he hai
received sl55,Ss5.
WAsHINGToN, Sept. l6.-The treasury
department is seriously considering th'
question of imposing restrictions upor
railroad traffic into Washington by way

city. Secretary Foster yesterday sen
for District Commissioner Douglass u
talk over the matter with him. He de
sired especially to konw the sanitary ar
rangements made in the White House 10
where sleeping apartments have beeI
erected for 25, 900 men during the G. A
R. encampment In view Of the cominl
encampment government officials ar
proceeding with great caution. The.
recognize the fact that II 1t should b
necessary to issue any special regula
tions against passengers coming iron
New York the effect would be very Sc
rious 10 the encampment At the sam
time they appreciate the danger that
by any lack Of caution on their part
case Of cholera should be introduce
here during the encampment II might
perhaps, be widely distributed fror
this center to other parts Of the Union

sent the following instructions to keeI
