Busch and Samuel Goldman are suffering with
typhus fever. They had been kept isolated
from the other patients in the hospital until
yesterday because the doctors considered their

posed to have contracted the disease at 50
Bowery.
The fifteen Inspectors assigned on Tuesday
night to search the big lodging houses report.
ed yesterday that they had not found one sus.

a lapse Of fourteen days occurs without tho
discovery OF a case OF typhus fever then the
disease may be considered as stamped out.
Until then he does not care to say what pro.
portions the epidemic may assume. He does
not think there is any cause for serious alarm.
