Waterbury evening Democrat., 1892-09-13

Senator MePherson's Appeal.
 ''Citizens,n said the Senator, at last, 'the captain declines to come ashore. If you will give me your injunction papers give you my word of honor will give them to him, and he will accept them as legally served.n
 The crowd clamored for the captain to come ashore.
 Eff we can bring him ashore, will you agree to let these suffering and helpless people landp'
 The Senator turned his face up to the mob, and in an impressive voice said: s1 appeal to you men, in the name of God, not to be longer led into heartless cruelty by this attorney, but to give your consent that these women and children can be taken from this boat"
 The crowd still refused, but finally the Health Board allowed food and blankets to be sent to the unfortunate passengers.
 Both Sides Determined.
 The State authorities are to show cause Thursday as to why the injunction should not be made permanent.
 Both sides are determined in the fight Gov. Flower declares that Fire Island will be used as was intended when bought by the State, and that the passengers will be landed, even under military pro- tection if necessary. Of course, the de- cision of the court will be obeyed, but the State authorities have no fear of serious delay from that quarter.
 Will Resist Invasion.
 A close watch is being kept over the hotel and cottages by heath officers from New York as it is feared that an attempt will be made to burn them down.
 Many of the men of the village of Babylon are armed and say that they will resist the threatened invasion of the Nor mannia's passengers. Justice of the Peace James B. Cooper says he fears the hotel and cottages will be burned if landing is attempted. It is thought, however, that the State already has a sufficient force of men now at Fire Island to cope with the baymen and villagers should they attempt any more violence.
 Situation on the Islands.
 The situation on the islands in the bay is thus described by Dr. Byron in his re- port to Dr. Jenkins:
 There are no cases of gastric or intes- tinal trouble among the Rugia's passen- gers.
 On Hoffman Island Max Sithwern, aged 3 years, who has bronchitis, is i'm prov ing The personal baggage of the Nor mannia's passengers is being disinfected and fumigated. All patients O. K. for the past 15 hours.
 On Swinburne Island all O. K for the past 15 hours, and all patients are on the way to recovery; Up to midnight there had been admitted to Swinburne Island hospital 12l persons; of these, 56 were suspects; 27 were treated; IA were admitted dead; 13 died in the hospital; Il were transferred to Hoffman Island, and 1 was discharged.
 Of the deaths, 8 occurred within 3 hours after the time of admission.
 The French liner La Champagne has been added to the cholera feet in the lower bay. She was anchored in Upper Quarantine, and it was believed she had no sickness on board, when 1t was sud denly discovered that one of the stokers was i'll. An examination disclosed un- mistakable symptoms of Asiatic cholera, and the man was removed to Swinburne Island and the steamer ordered below.
 Conference at Upper Quarantine.
 The most prominent feature of the day at Upper Quarantine was the visit of Gov. Flower and Representative Bourke Cochran, who arrived from New York about 4 o'clock in the afternoon and held a conference with Dr. Jenkins on the cholera situation, and more especially in regard to the injunction issued against the Governor by Judge Barnard, of the Supreme Court, restraining the former, or his agents, from taking possession of Fire Island as 8 place of refuge for the passengers on the detained pest ships.
 The conference was held on the police steamer Patrol. It is impossible to learn the exact nature of the discussion, or what result, if any, was reached, but at it's conclusion the three gentlemen came ashore and went direct to the telegraph office and kept the wires hot for some time.
 On being asked whether he would insist that the island be secured, by force, if necessary, the Governor said that no mat ter what were his personal wishes, he was bound, as Governor of the State, to not only obey the mandates of the court, but it was his duty also to see that others did not violate the law
 He had not been officially advised of the action of Judge Barnard in restrain ing the State from taking possession of the island, but, assuming the report to be trustworthy, he was endeavoring with aid of Mir. Cochran to learn what rights he had under the statutes. He had not yet fully satisfied himself that the in junction was legal, and would further consider the matter.
 The Governor said, however, that if he was captain of the Cepheus he would make landing at Fire Island and will ingly serve two months in jail for the in fraction of the law, in order that the peo pie on the stricken ship could at least live in comfort while they were detained | under the law.
 Before leaving Quarantine the Cover nor authorized Dr. Jenkins to provide blankets, provisions, etc., for the passen 4 gers on board the Cepheus, now lying at < the pier at Fire Island, which was promptly done.
 The rumor that Senator McPherson | Commodore Thompson and other influen | tial people of the Normannia's passenger! had been allowed to go on board the tug boat Poenix is without foundation. The,
 are, without exception, with the othe passengers on board the Cepheus. l Gov. Flower says: "The feeling, a
 first voiced to me from Babylon ant
 New Islip against the occupancy of Fir
 Island, was intense. If the seaders o
 them were placed where the passenger
 are, with deaths occurring daily unde
 their feet. they would think no sacrific
 too great to relieve them.
