|
bulletin was issued at the health bu-
reau this sfternoon
| No cases nor suspec ted cases of chol-
era have appeared in the city since the
last bulletin. The total number OF
deaths from cholera is five. The first
was on September 9th, and the last on
September 18th. OF the three cases
heretofore reported as suspicious in the
caee OF Edward Hoppe, meteorological
| examination of clothing stained with
| ejecta failed to reveal the presence of
| spirilli OF cholera Asiatic.
| Less interest is being taken by the
public in cholera news, and the people
appear to have lost the nervous appre-
hension which prevailed at the outset.
TWO NEW CASES OF QUARANTINE.
DR.. Ssnborn, who returned from
lower quarantine tonight, reports that
a new case has developed on board the
Scandia. The patient is Regina Weis-
skopf, 65 years of age, and DIR. Byron
transferred her to Swinburne island to-
day. She is very sick with cholera, and
unlikely to live through the night.
From DR.. Byron is received the news
OF a case of cholera on board the Bo-
hemia. The patients name is Jeanette
Chaimowitz, % years old. She was re-
moved today from the steamer and
taken to Swinburne island.
IsLIPERs AGAIN O4sTREPERoUs.
P. T. Wall, In charge of the Surf hotel.
on Fire island, sent DR.. Jenkins, at 8 20
p. M, the following telegram: 81 have
received from tie board of health of
Islip notice to vacate the premises within
three days, or they would call ON the
citizens of the county to stop the land
ing of baggage. Captain Cochrane, COM
manding the militia here, says all steam
ship baggage received here will be
properly protected. We are in every
way prepared to give them warm re-
ception."
DR.. Jenkins wired Mr.. Wall to reeist
to the utmost anr attempt Of the Isfip
people to take possession of the island.
Captain Cochrane telegraphed Gov
ernor Flower this evening that the Islip
board of health had directed the sheriff
of the county to take possession of Fire
island, eject all passengers and baggage,
and prevent the landing of more. Gov
ernor Flower replied this evening that
the Islip board of health had no juris-
diction over Fire island, and to protect
the quarantine line established by DIR.
Jenkine, against all trespassers. Gov
ernor Flower said if more men were
needed, to call on Adjutant-G
Porter. The governor also telegraphed
Porter to the same effect.
Later advices from Fire Island state
that the excitement subsided when it was
learned that the resolutions served were
old and probably served in order to
comply with the legal formalities neces-
sary in the event of suits to recover
penalties which the town of Islip may
bring.
THE wYOMNG's PASSENGERS REBEL.
The passengers of the steamer Wyom-
ing positively refused to be transferred
to Fire island, this morning, stating that
the vessel was not infected. DR.. Jenkins
says he will have them removed tomor-
row. whether they will or not.
The second cabin and steerage passen-
gers of the Wyoming, which has been
held in quarantine since September 9Th,
have issued appeals to the public. They
protest against the detention OF 700 per-
sons, cramped in unwholeeome quarters
aboard the ship, when the vessel came
in with clean bill of health, save the
indisposition of baby that had been
delic ate since it's birth; that the deten-
| tion resulted in the death of four chill
dren and serious shock to their moth
ers; that many other children aboard
are threatened with sickness, due to the
foul air of the ship; that though no
cases of cholera have appeared since the
ship left Liverpool, twenty days ago.
| yet its close proximity to infected ships
is constant menace to the health of the
passengers. In view of the above facts,
the signers demand the immediate re-
lease of the ship from quarantine.
