cholera reception hospital to-day, came
from Ireland six months ago and went to
live with friends named Lyons, at tenement
No. 692 Second avenue. She got

Ing house, 221 East Thirty-frst street,
and was in good health until
midnight Wednesday, when she was
taken with violent pains and vomiting. At
her request she was removed TO the Lyons
tenemens. DR. Kane pronounced her sick-
ness cholera and notified the police In

keep the crowd back. Il is believed the

%on OF the girls vomit for archaeological
examination. This Is the first case Of ohol-
a ,' reported In this city In which the pa
uent WAS alive.
