Mrs. Maria Sposati, the Italian woman
living at $40 East One Hundred and
Fifteenth street, who was reported last
night as suffering from cholera, was eX-
amined and found free from that dis
ease. DR.. Laboucher reported this
morning that an Italian had died in
Sullivan street under suspicious cir
cumstances last night. The man was
taken with vomiting and diarrhea, and
diedin two hours. The doctor thinks 1T
was case of cholera. The case will be
investigated.
Sanitary Superintendent Edison last
night examined Many Connerty, the
young Irish girl removed from 692 Sec
ond avenue yesterday, suffering with
supposed cholera. DR.. Edison says there
is very little doubt the girl
Has Cholera.
She is sinking rapidly. Health Com
missioner Bryant says it is probably a
case of cholera.
Supt. Edison last night made an in
spection of the houses where cholera
cases have occurred, and examined the
tenants living in each building. He
found no one sick and no indications OF
secondary cases. John McAvoy, forty
years old, street sweeper, was found
suffering with cramps at 80 Christopher
street today. He was taken to st. Vim
cents hospital. The case is being in
veStigated.
A health department bulletin reports
that the meteorological examination of
the intestinal contents from the body OF
Charlotte Beck, who died Sept. l3. has
revealed the presence of the spiritum
of Asiatic cholera. The woman had
been sick but few hours, and from the
first it was believed that her death was
caused by genuine cholera.
DR.. Fitzpatrick, of One Hundred and
Tenth street and Madison avenue. be-
lieves that Edward Hoppe's case was
one of
Genuine Asfatic Cholera.
The body has been embaImed, and
the health board has been placed in
possession of some of the contents of
Hopes intestines and stomach for bac-
THEOLOGICAL examination. No one has
any idea where Hoppe came in contact
with the infection. .
So far the board of health has been
unable to trace the origin of the cholera
that has occurred in the city. Last
night three girls who came out as
steerage passengers on the Fries
land and were under quarantine in
sickened and died, All East Forty-sixth
street, were removed TO Willard Parker
hospital, where they will be detained
for the present under strict Surveil-
lance. 1t is supposed they brought the
infection into the Levinger household.
