PHILADELPHIA DENIES 1T.
Health Officer Drummer yesterday received
49,. II, IL - . al
denying the story that a case OF AsiAtic
cholera had been discovered there, and
promising to notify him at once in case the
disease appears DR.. Drummer was indig-
nant when he read Kloso's story published
in yesterdays MORNING NEWS from a
Macon paper. THE fellow is really IN
worthy of notice." said the health officer.
''He is a sensatonallst seeking notorietY at
the expense of truth. don't believe Kloso
was in Hamburg at all, aud In my opinion
the Gillett is q vessel existing only In the
mind of Kloso. Such vessel has never |
been heard Of IN thess waters"
KLosO's STORY.
The MORNING News tslegraphed Its cor
respondent in Macon yesterday TO get the |
straight story Of the Kloso affair. The fol-
lowing reply was received last night:
"Robert Kloso, the man about whom so
much has heen said and printed, and who
was reported as having come from Hamburg
direct to Macon via Savannah. was inter-
viewed by the MORNING News correspond
ent. MIR. Kloso was at one time
a resident of Savannah, but is
now behind the bar at Stonemans beer sa-
loon. He is a bright young fellow, %
years of age. aud told his story readily, re-
ferring to diary to refresh his memory.
Il left Hamburg he said, on August IA
in the steamship Gellert Of the Hamburg
American Packet Company. After
we left l heard that there were
100 cases of cholera in Hamburg, but IL had
not then been declared an epidemic. We
had no sickness on board and arrived In
New York Aug 27, where we passed the |
quarantine. left New York on Aug. 81 |
for Savannah In the steamship City OF Au-
gusta and arrived IN Savannah Sept. g.
stayed In Savannah some days and got to
Macon Sept. IA" Mr. Kloso laughed at the
reports that had been printed, and said that
they were badly bungled Up. The abovs,
however, is the straight story"
Gen. Sorrel received a telegram from
Agent Walker in New York yesterday
afternoon announcing that the Nacoochee
had sailed with seventy-five cabin passen- |
gers. DR.. Durlin furnished clean bill of |
health after examining passengers and crew. |
Tho Nacoochee will reach quarantine at |
daylight Tuesday morning aud will lose no |
time by the inspection.
THE INSPECTORS AT WORK.
The police sanitary inspecors began their |
inspections OK cellars and areas yesterday,
and the fumlGating corps began its rounds. |
Inspector Desvergers of the Citizens
Sanitary Association, in his report of in-
spections for the week ending last night,
says that food produce Of all kinds made
good showing I'm the market the past week.
Dressed beef, dressed mutton and dressed
pork, both domestic and western, averaged
excellent in quality. Poultry. both dressed
and alive, made good average. Sausages
and meat buildings also made good aver
age as did picked beef corned beef and
picked tongues aud tripe, fish, crabs, CLANS
and shrimp Vegetables, both dried and
green, and fruits made good average.
CONDITION OF THE MARKET.
The Inspector says, however, that the in
vfting condition Of food produce inside Of
the market house Is offset by conditions on
the square around it. Citizens will never
visit the market with pleasure and satisfac-
ton until the old cobble stone pavement
around it, with its cavities and crevices
filed with uuremovable decayed matter
and filthy fluids, Is removed and replaced
with asphalt pavement The 30
called garbage box on the northeast corner
of the square, he says, sustains with unre-
uniting consistency its reputation as factor
of offensive odors and unsanitary efiuvia.
Instead OF its being used exclusively as
receptacle for ordinary market garbage, 10
has been converted into a dumping box for
offal, putrid meats, putrid fish and oil kinds
of decayed matter, which oontaminates the
atmosphere OF the entire vicinity.
