Shortly before o'clock this morning
four carloads of immigrants arrived at
the union depot from Sweden, by way
OF New York and Pittsburg. The train
came here with clean bill OF health.
but the authorities believe one of the
number. who died at 1:3O o'clock, was
afflicted with cholera. Albertina Lar.
son, eighteen years OF age, was in a
semi-conscious condition when the train
pulled into the depot and the physicians
at once ordered her sent to HOG THIRTY
fifth street, where she was to have
stopped.
On the way to the house she relapsed
into unconsciousness, and DR.. Garrett,
Of the health department, sent her to
the county hospital. She died on tho
way. Tho woman, it III claimed, showed
unmistakable symptoms OF the dread
disease. She complained with pains in
tho stomach, continually gaping, and
the skin under her ewes showed a
mashed blue discoloration. She was
first taken i'll ut Fittsburg, whore she
purchased medicine. Officer Jones, of
Harrison street station, administered a
stimulant during the ride to tho hospi-
tai, but the woman gradually sank.
Tho physicians ordered the armory
ambulance fumigated as soon as it
returned to the station.
Tho party to which the dead woman
belonged left Gutenberg, Sweden, Aug
ust 10, and sailed from Liverpool Aug.
ust 81, in the Lord Cough.
The body of the dead woman was nd
mitted to the county morgue and placed
In separate rosm.) The clothing was
fumigated and deposited with it. DR..
Garrett said after he had left the hos
pital that he would not express defin-
lite opinion that the woman had died of
cholera, although he stated such was
the indication, as there were strong
ymptoms of that disease. He wished
to be convinced, he said, before he eX-
pressed an official opinion. DR.. Jones
was equally conservative in his opinion,
concluding, however, that cholera
symptoms were strongly noticeable.
Later Sanitary officer Hoyt said:
"Albertina Larson did not die of
cholera. Shielded Of exhaustion. Fam
satisfied the case is not one of cholera,
though the symptoms may have some
what embled those OF cholera"

deny that the now addition to tho chol-
era fleet has increased the gravity of
the state Of affairs at Quarantine, and
that already the much overtaxed Quar-
amino officials have more than they can
well attend to in fighting the enemy off
our coasts. But nobody has lost heart,
aud the belief that the scourge will be
driven back is strengthened instead of
weakcned as the days go by and no case
OF cholera is discovered in New York.
This feeling Of security arises from the
fact that every day draws us nearer cold
weather, because the city is getting
cleaner and cleaner every day, and be.
cause all health Notifications have been
erected. Thus it is that New York
grows more confident day by day, while
in no way ignoring the dangers which
beset the city.
