ALLEGED CASE IN NEW BUNswIcK

A Violent Death in That City Re-
suits in Heroic Methods of Pre-
vention-Phiiadelp elphia's "Case" was
Cholera Morbus-No New Cases in
New York City.
NEW York, Sept 19.-The following
bulletin was issued by the health depart
ment last evening: mo cases or sus-
pected cases of cholera have appeared in
this city since the last bulletin. No
deaths from cholera since Tuesday, Sept
13. Number of deaths between Sept
8, and Sept. II, five. There is good
reason to believe that the diagnosis of
the attending physicians was incorrect
in the case of Peter Callahan, of 3lS East
Forty-seventh street, who died Sept. 10,
q suspected case of cholera, and the
death is, therefore, in the bureau of vital
statistics as from diarrhoea and ex-
, haustion."
There is q strong belief that the doc
tors blundered when they sent Mary
Conerty to the reception hospital as a
cholera patient. The girl is said to have
confessed to a physician that she took
medicine for criminal purpose. DIR.
Cyrus Edison said: II have been con-
vinced for some time that the girl was
not suffering from cholera"
The first and second class passengers
of the steamship Wyoming, which was
detained at quarantine for several days,
were landed on Fire Island yesterday and

aiart tha prnunaOtu nf Eiro leland rpit hin
three days, additional troops have been
placed on guard and will be sent there
indefinitely.
DIR. Jenkins made the following state
mant to the repoters: 81 am very well
contented because in a week more we
may expect to be out of the woods, with
the bulk Of our hard work completed.
am more than satisfied with our efforts
to check the disease. 1t is a fact that
most of the sickness having been among
the steerage people. the stoppage of i'm
migration has been much in favor of ex-
terminating the scourge by giving us for
the last week some chance to attend to
the many ON our hands. What we have
most to fear now is the danger in cargoes
from infected ports.
The important arrivals Saturday night
and yesterday were the Thingvalla liner
! Norge from Chiistiana Sept. |, with 50
cabin and 705 steerage; the French liner
! La Bretagne, from Cherbourg Sept. 10,
and the oil tank steamer Standard. The
! Bretagne brought 307 in the first cabin
and 120 in the second cabin. The Stan

! and inspection. All reported well on

Philadelphia's Scare Dying Out.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 19.-The case ot
William Kellar, who was removed to tht
Municipal hospital Saturday as a cholerf
suspect, has turned out to be one oi
acute cholora morbus. So far all thu
cases that have been taken to the hos
pital have been found not to be Asiatis
cholera. This fact, coupled with thu
perfected precautionary measures re
sorted to by the authorities of the city
state and general government, has
caused the cholera scare to subside to a
great degree. There is now feeling o
assurance that genuine Asiatic choleri
will not reace this port, or if it shoult
| that the authorities are amDly able Il
successfully cope with it and stamp i
out at once. However, precautions vii
not in the least be abated.
