DANGER FROM IMMIGRANTS.

Residents to Move 70 THIS
lity-The Cholera Scare Yesterday-i
The Cases Not Serieus-Dr. Walter
il stricken with Cholera Morbus.
A merchant was accosted by Russian
Hebrew yesterday who wanted to buy goods |
on the installment plan, as he expected his
wife and family to arrive here in q few days
from Hamburg, the thickest part of the in
fected districts.
Several other instances Of a similar nat
ure have come to light within q few days
past, showing that emigrants from tho
very European city in which the disease
has such firm foothold intend to immi-
CRATE to this city, and their arrival may be
expected at any time.
This is now the most alarming local part
of the situation-direct contact with emf
grants from the cholera-stricken district.
The steamer Lain containing among its
passengers Max Adler of this city, arrived
in New York city yesterday from South
ampton and was quarantined in the
harbor. Those having first class passage
will probably be able to leave the vessel
some time to-day, while the steerage pas

Yesterday there arrived in this city Hon.
| J. D. Plunkett, Mr.. and Mrs. Lee, Profess
sor butcher. Miss Kathaleen YAM, Wilhelm
| Schneider, Miss Catherine Velder, DR.. f.
| g. Swift, New Haveners who have been
detained for thirty-six hours In New York
harbor on the Friesland.
The necessity for boiling water for
drinking purposes can not be ever esti-
mated. Cholera germs must enter the
patient through the mouth, cholera is not
a highly infectious disease, as emsllpox
and yellow fever are. The Chinese never
or scarcely ever get cholera. The reason
for this Is that they drink tea. All tho
water is boiled that they drink. The
excreta is often thrown on the ground,
and the dust thereof is blown around, but
the cholera germs do not soar around
through the air of their own accord, look
ing for victims
Cholera, strange to say, has skipped
Egypt this year and no fear need be felt
that "the raggers" from Alexandria will
bring the dread disease here. DR.. Win.
ohell, president of the board of health, said
last night that he did not anticipate any
} trouble from cholera in this country thif
year, but next year, with the large num-
Der of visitors to the great fair, he wal
afraid that germs would be brought here
and in the large congregations Of people
would quickly spread.
!. Quite little excitement was occasionec
yesterday by the report of cholera cas'
in Fair Haven. DR.. Charles Hawkinl
of Brooklyn examined an application to
} benefit order made by Benjamin Lapades
, of $50 Grand avenue. DR.. G. Walter O
Howard avenue is the local physician TO-
the order and he said that the patient wa
suffering from cholera. DR.. Hawkin
came to this city and in company will
Health Officer White went to see Lspadese
They found he was only suffering will
cholera morbus and that the case was no
alarming. DR.. Walter, who is Russian
has studied in large number of universe
ties in Europe and is regarded as yer.
l bright and able physician. The confusion
caused by his misnaming the disease wa
due to his incomplete knowledge of til
+ English language.
t Last night Dr.. Walter was taken i'll wit
a the same disease, cholera morbus. DR.. Wiz
cheI attended him and found him in
delirous condition. Heis seriously Ill an
his recovery is largely despaired of.
