"A CHOLERA SCARE.

But Not q Case of the Disease in the City.
"There is not case of cholera in this city SO
far as know Of, said Health Officer Hammett
to STAR reporter today, land hope there
will be none"
An elderly woman called at the Office yester-
day and told Deputy Health Oficer Bayly that
she had the cholera. She said she lived through
the cholera Of 1882 and 1S47, and that she
thoroughly understood the disease She told
the official to pay no attention to published
cures, that they were no 60 cd, as she had been
using them ever since 1847
"And this morning." she said, 81 had the
cholera"
An hour or two after she had departed mes
sage was received ut the health office stating

A B r B Err XPOS ED,


The President and DIR. Gardner Much Graft
fed at Her Improvement.
Loon LAKE HOUSE, N. Y, Sept T.-Mrs.
Harrison passed q comfortable night and this
morning she said she was feeling better.
When DR.. Gardner and the members Of the
Presidents party walked over from the Harri-
son cottage to the hotel for breakfast this morn
ing they looked bright and cheerful and showed
by their general appearance that refreshing
sleep had come with the passing Of danger to
the distinguished patient.
The President looked much better than he
has since the early part Of the week. DR..
Gardner was much gratifed in the improve
ment made by Mrs. Harrison during the night.
He made An examination and discovered that
there was no tendency toward reproduction
Of the watery fluid in the lung cavity. The
patient has rested much better than usual,
although her sleep was by no means unbroken.
This morning she was feeling much stronger
and seemed greatly improved.
DIR. Gardner feels almost justified in pre-.
dieting that immediate danger from the COM
plication caused by reproduction caused by the
watery fluid, the greatest cause for alarm, has
passed, but will not say anything about the main
disease. Mrs. Hasrisons case is still very grave,
but with the removal Of dangerous complica-
ton, which has necessitated the operations, her
physicians will be better able to cope with the
remaining trouble.
THE DOCTOR MUCH ENCOURAGED.
DIR. Gardner was questioned again at o'clock
this afternoon in regard to Mrs. Harrison g
condition.
He said that she was resting more quietly
than for several days past and that he was much
encouraged at the continuance Of the favorable
symptoms Of the early morning.

to police headquarters, where it was placed in

On opening the box weight attached
to lever fell on some sulphur
matches. The bottom Of the box was covered
with gunpowder and in one corner was tin

powder. If the box had been opened there
would undoubtedly have been an explosion,
with serious results.

said: "This is the first time that anything Of
