HOPEFUL REPORTS.
President Nelson of the Health Board
said this morning:-''The other cases
under observation in our hospitals are
doing well, particularly Mary Murphy
and Patrick Stewart
"Durng the past twenty-four hours
many SUSPECTED cases have been reported
for Investigation, but the only one we
have taken hold of is that of Henry
Frick, of No. 439 West Thirteenth
street."
Quarantine on the house No. 31S East
Forty-seveuth street, where Peter Gala
han died, is to be raised today.
DR.. Edison said he expected that the re-
ports Of the bacteriologists in the several
suspected cases would be turned in today.
The Inspectors of the Bureau of
Contagious Diseases say that only
two cases were reported to
them that required immediate in-
vestigation. Que was Lieb Misno-
witz, 80 years old, who was found sick
with cholera symptoms, at No. 243 Dlvis-
ion street, at half-past six O'Clock this
morning.
The other case caused uneasiness in the
Department because the report came
from an eminent practictioner, Dr. Mar
tin Burke of No. 147 Lexington avenue.

TWEEN y-five years old, who lives on the
first floor of the tenement No. 2S3 Avenue

with violent diarrh9a and
vomiting. The woman was in II state of
collapse this morning DR.. Burke report
ed. Her case is under investigation, and
it is feared it will turn out one of true
cholera
FRICK CASE NOT SETTLED.
1t is DOUBTED that Henry Frick, who
was late last night removed to
the Reception Hospital with symp-
toms of cholera was suffering
from that disease. Until biologi-
cal examination has been made
however. to determine positively the ma
ture of Frick's ailment, he will be de-
tanned at the Reception Hospital, and the
house where he was found, No. 439 West
Thirteenth street, will be kept closely
uuarantined.
Frick and Phillip Rapp are partners in a
fancy goods store at No. E439 West Thir-
teenth street. in the rear of which they
lived together in one room. A friend OF
FrIck, visiting there last night at the
time of Frickis lemoval, has also been
quarantined on the premises.
Frick and RRpp conduct an immigrant
agency at their store. and it is supposed
that some of the recently landed steerage
passengers from Hamburg who called
there may have brought the germ OF
cholera in their clothes.
Two girls who live in the same house
| and are employed in Golfers book
bindery in West Thirteenth street were
sent back from their work this morning
as their employers feared to allow them
| to come in contact with the hundred OF
more girls employed there.
