CHOLERA In NEW YORK.
OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED BY
THE BOARD OF HEALTH.
Five Deaths Within the Past
Seven Days-No Fears Enter
tained of the Plague Be-
coming Epidemic.

New YORK, Sept. 14.-The board
Of health this afternoon officially
announced five deaths from Asias-
tic cholera in this city, as follows:
Charles McEvery, who died Sep
tember 9Th, at s79 Tenth avenue;
Mrs. Sophia Wiggman, died Sep
tember 10th, at 1853 Eleventh
avenue; William Wiegman, hus-
band of Sophia, died at same ad-
dress on following day; Minnie
Levanger, a child, died September
11th, at All East Forty-sixth
street; Charlotte Beck, aged 80,
died at 464 Second avenue.
Prof. Herman Biggs, who is in
charge of the division ofpathology
and bacteriology of the health de-
partment, has been at work max
ing psychological examination of
the intestinal fluids taken from
the bodies of these suspected cases.
Prof. Biggs reported to the health
department this afternoon the re-
suit of an examination, and an
nounced unhesitatingly that the
cases were Asiastic cholera, beyond
a doubt.
The medical commissioner of
the Health Board, DR.. Bryant, said
to-day: II do not think that the
disease will become epidemic.
This, he says, is almost assured,
from the fact that no suspicious
cases have occurred since yester-
day. "There seems to be but little
danger" said DR.. Bryant, $50 far,
and the public need not be alarm
ed. Every precaution has been
taken by the Board Of Health to
combat and crush the disease
wherever it may appear"
DR.. Edison, of the bureau of con-
tagious diseases, was also of the
opinion that there will be no cnol-
era epidemic here. 't. thirk its
spread will be less than the typhus
feyer.pp said lie. "As to where the
cholera. came from, il is the ques-.
ton we are trying to solve. It is IN
the. city, and it must have come
from some outside source. 1t must
have passed some quarantine. 1
think that before twenty-four
hours we will have run down the
direction from which the disease
came. There may be cases of spor-
adlc cholera over the city, but [
think the disease will be speedily
overcome"
The Chamber of Commerce up
to 8 3o'elock this afternoon reported
that Treasurer J. Pierpont Morgan
had secured $92,230 in subscrip-
tions to the quarantine emergency
fund.

Alarm in Charleston.

Charleston, Sept. 14.-News
received here at 5 o'clock this
evening, to the effect that there
were several deaths from cholera
in New York, has caused great
apprehension and alarm among
many citizens. The mayor and
board of health held a cdnsulta-
tion this evening and determined
upon the verifcation of the bulletin
to morrow, to declare a strict
quarantine against New York.
Meanwhile a Clyde steamer is
scheduled to arrive here tonight
with a great many passengers.
This action has been greatly
censured by some persons, who
criticize the present extreme
measures, compared with the
inactivity hitherto shown.

which somewhat approaches the
countenance of this creature, but
does not equal it. 1t was the ply
siognomy of what I should have
fancled ghoul to be. 1t looked
as if it was capable of feeding Oh
human flesh.
Having satisfied our curiosity,
and bound every one in the house
over to secrecy, it became a ques-
tion what was to be done with our
Enigma7 1t was impossible that
we should keep such a horror in
in our house; it was equally
impossible that such an awful be-
ing should be let Loose upon the
world. I corfey5 that I would
gladly have voted for hecreature's
destruction But who would
shoulder sne responsibility? Who
would undertake the execution of
this horrible semblance of a human
being? Day after day this ques-
tion was deliberated gravely. The
boarders all left the house. Mrs.
Moffat was in despair, and threa-
tened Hammond and myself with
all sorto legal penalties if we
did not remove the Horror, Our
answer was, awe will go if you
like, but we decline taking this
creature with US. Remove it your
self, if you please. 1t appeared in
your house. On you the respon-
sibilily rests" To this there was,
Of course, no answer. Mrs. Moffat
could not obtain for love or money
asperson who would even approach
THE Mystery.
1.-THE most singular part of the
transaction was, that we were en-
tirely ignorant of what the creature
habitually fed on. Everything in
the way of nutriment that we
Gould think of was placed before
it, but was never touched. 1t was
aWful to stand by, day after day,
and see the clothes toss and hear
the hard breathing, and know that
|it, was starving.
|SE Ten, twelve days, a fortnight
passed, and it still lived. The
pulsations of the heart, however,
EWere daily growing fainter, and
had now nearly ceased altogether.
It was evident that the creature
=aztaa dying7for. want.o sustenance.
While this terrible life-struggle
was going on I felt miserable: I
could not sleep of nights. Horrible
as the creature was, pitiful to
think of the pangs it was suff-
ering.
At last it died. Hammond and
I found it cold and stiff one morn
ing in the bed. The heart had
ceased to beat, the lungs to in
spire. We hastened to bury it in
the garden. 1t was a strange
funeral, the dropping of that view
less corpse in the damp hole. The
cast of it's form I gave to Doctor
x, who keeps it in his museum
at Tenth Street.
AS 1 am on the eve of a long
journey from which l may not re-
turn, I have drawn up this nara
tive of an event the most singular
that. has ever come to my knowl-
edge: HARRY Escort.

Sayannah's Rigorous Precau-
tiOnS.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-surgeon
General Wyman tonight received
a telegram from the health officer
at Savannah, Ga, that the board
of health had passed a resolution
that all steamers leaving New
York hereafter will refuse steerage
passengers for Savannah, and that
all cabin passengers must be thor
oughly inspected as we'll as the

completely destroyed and his
dwelling razed from its founda-
tions and set about fifteen feet
from its site. Strange to say
neither Mr.. Long nor his family,
received any bodily injury. He
has lost nearly everything. Even
his -four, which was in barrels, is
a total loss. The great force of the
storm tore the barrels asunder
and the flour passed into the
general confusion of dust, rocks
and debris of every character. To-
day at least 3 hudred people are
assisting Mr.. Long to erect other
buildings and to relieve his dis
tress in other substantial manner.
The storm then passed through
the plantation of Adam Hartman,
ealing utter destruction in it's
narrow path.
1t then struck G, Mike sheely's
place, where it played havoc with
his outbuildings, tearing away
part of his dwelling end blowing
down his chimneys and doing
much other damage to orchard
and crops. 1t even entered the
family burying ground and snap
ped off the tombstones at the
ground as SO many reeds.
We next find the storm in all
it's fury at the residence of Mr.
John A. sheely, where his beauti-
full residence and every outbuilding
is completely demolished. Mr..
sheely did not succeed in getting
his children out of the house, as
stated in my telegram, but he and
his seven children were in the
house when the crash came but
escaped unhurt. Mrs. Sheely did
not reach the house, butshe and
one of her sons were caught in
a falling telegraph wire from which
they could not disengage them
selves, and were rescued in an
unconscious condition. She was
terribly charged with electricity,
and today is lying in critical
condition from prostration and
shattered nerves. Mr.. Sheely's
loss is very heavy. One of his
mules was blown $50 yards, but
does not seem to be much injured.
Many sympathizing friends and
neighbors are at work today re-
moving the dabris4an mak king
preparationsto to put up other build
ings. A nice subscription was
raised here in town for Mr.. Sheely
today.
After leaving Sheely's place for
about half mile, the cyclone left
the earth and passed into the air.
Only the hand of Providence
saved those good people. Chickens
and stock were killed, but no
human beiugs. At Mr.. sheely's
place several chickens were found
dead, with the feathers blown
entirely off them whether his or
not it is impossible to tell.
Near Mr.. sheely's place was al
grove of large hickory trees; not |
one of which is left standing. |
Some were torn Up by the roots
some broken off, and some twisted
off. ;. ;: ,fJ.5 .1a1--3.js,L>i IT, IL
At'Miks Sheely's-it seems that
the positive and negative poles
became detached and two tracks
mark the patch for about mile,
when they again united with a
fearful crash. Today everything
in the path, trees and vegetation,
appear to be dead.
1t is impossible to compute
the losses, but they are exceedingly |
heavy.-The State.
