The story that baby was born on
the Cepheus to-day is erroneous.
A SUMMARY.

The evening of this day, whichstar
with anxiety, troubles and alarming
rumors OF likely fights and bloodshed
has at last concluded with everything
calm. The passengers of tho Nor
MAMMA landed, no new cases OF
cholera on board the steamers nor on
the islands, and the only present
worry OF Health Officer Jenkins is his
summons to appear before the supreme
court in Brooklyn and Judge Bernard
to show cause by what right he detains
the cabin passengers on Fire Island. by
what right he, as health officer OF the
part OF New York, detained them when
they were out OF his jurisdiction
in the state of New Jersey,
on board OF the stonington, or in the
Cepheus, when they were in the waters
of Suffolk county; by what right he
placed them on an unworthy vessel like
the Stonington and sent them to sea in
the Cepheus without proper accommo-
dation or provisions, and in vessel
unfit and unsafe for the purpose.

LONDON, Sept. 1S.-The Berlin cores
pondent OF tho Neis says: "The ma
iority of the cholera cases now in the
Moabit hospital here arc OF mild char
actor. A man who died in spandau
some days ago, and his twO.year-Old
son, who died yesterday, were, accord
ing to q meteorological examination,
victims OF cholera. No other cases OF
the disease havo been reported either
in Spandau or in Charlottenburg.
Revised Hamburg statements justify
the most alarming reports hitherto
published, which have usually been
considered as exaggeratiing the state OF
affairs. The greatest number OF new
cases of cholera reported in one day was
l,00l, occurring on August ~, and the
greatest number Of deaths was 494, on
August so. There has been acontinuous
increase in new cases and deaths since
September 8. The relief fund now
reaches 1000, 900 marks. Great distress
prevails among the cab drivers, owing
10 the fact that the public avoid using
cabs in spite OF official assurance that
such vehicles arc not used for cholera
patients. The railways are suffering
severely from tho cessation Of passen-
ger traffic. Two new cases OF cholera
were reported in Wandsbeck to-day, but
none in Harburg. In Stettin three per-
sons died OF cholera to-day. One a
woman employed on the docks and two
men employed in a sawnill. The mill
has been closed and all the employees
have been Isolated.

THE QUARANTINE A FARCE.

What the Associated Press Man Saw ut
Fire Island--somo War Dispatches.
BABYLON, L. l., Sept. 13.-The As
sociated Press correspondent inter
viewed number OF leading men OF all
classes, residents, bay men and hotel
men and all join. in saying that the
views expressed by Mr.. Sammis arc un-
doubtedly correct in all the main par
ticulars.
One fact became evident to tho cor
respondent, that was that tho quaran-
tine OF the people on Fire Island is a
farce OF the very worst description.
The correspondent stood there and
watched at least a dozen boats come
from the island to the main land, and
there land loads OF people, who, it seem
ed from their conversation generally,
and from the admission OF several, have
been in close communication and con-
versation with the Normannia's de-.
tanned cabin passengers. Ex-senator
Otis, for instance, landed quite a
cargo OF people from Fire
Island, including Detective Sergeant
McCloskey and Mr.. Crowley, Of Inspec-
tor Byrne's staff. A number OF newa-
paper correspondents also landed, some
OF them laughing and joking over their
experiences. 1t is said that when the
steamboat Ripple left for Fire Island on
her last trip, she carried about a dozen
Babylonians and others who were going
to Fire Island 10 spend the night and
come back here in the morning This
will give some idea OF tho quara ntine
farce as enacted here.
The following dispatches explain
themselves:
New York, Sept, IS, 2:SO Pm.

soldiers on their way by water and five
hundred soldiers on their way to Baby

To he shrig Of srgOk Couatv:
The troops will arrive in Babylon at

informed him no need for troops 60

turn to Fire Island. await hero your
further commands.
ALBERT NJ. DARLING, Sheriff.
It will thus be seen that all trouble
here appears to have blown oyer.
Definite news IRON the Bay Shore
meeting has not been received here and
it is reported that it resulted in COM
plete backdown OF the bay men.
At 1880 p. M. dispatch was received
from Governor Flower addressed to
Sheriff Darling, saying that the COVER
nor preferred that the sheriff should
remain ut Babylon for the present and
that tho troops would also remain there
until all danger OF interference with
the state authorities had passed.
AT this hour all is quiet.

Sewer Gas.-The most careful an.
alysis show that it is composed chiefly
of carbonic acid, nitrogen, sulphurated
by drogep, ammonical compound and
foetid organic vapoI; sewer gas is a
term often used with an scientific
loos ,ness and when so used it is mis-
leading. The worst evils Of so-called
sewer gas poisoning are very often
found where sewer gas proper does
not, and, indeed cannot, penetrate.
In most houses the so.called sewer
gas, which is both nuisance and a
danger, is chiefly manufactured on the
premises, and does its fatal work none
the less effectively because it is called
by wrong name. 1t is fact that
very much of the mischief charged to
sewer gas Is attributed to poisons
generated from filth which never
reaches the sewer, but lodges and &C.
cummulates in waste pipes. Elimi-
nate from sewer gas the organic germs
which float in it-insensible to sight,
touch and smell, and l doubt not it
would be drawing the serpant fangs.
We can tell the exact amount OF mat
ter present in gallon of sewage, but
living organisms in sewer gas elude
our senses and defy the most subtle
and searching methods of analysis.
Sewer gas has peculiar sickly odor;
it is a very rare occasion that it is
ever detected in property ventilated
and we'll flushed sewers. 1t Is not
confined to sewers alone, but is found
in cesspols, abandoned wells, stone
water sewers, coal mines, ETC., and
when found in those places it is batter
known by the name of car
bonic acid gas This gas is
the product of the decomposition
of all substances containing
carbon. Its properties are SO well
known that need give but little space
to its description. Inhaled in concen'
trated form, it quietly produces death,
and even when considerably diluted
with atmospheric air, it produces
asphyxia and unless the victim is
uickly rescued from its influence,
death follows promptly. This gas is
the fatal ''choke damp" of the coal
mines, and deaths caused by 1t in one
way or another, are matters of almost
daily occurrence.
1t has been proven beyond rea.
sonable doubt, that it is the principal
cause of typhoid fever on several
occasions the writer has been called
upon to make test for sewer or
or carbonic acid gas, in dwelling
houses and public buildings, l have
yet failed to find it in any building
whore the plumbing has been properly
done by an experienced plumber, and
at other times l have discovered it in
buildings caused through the careless
| ness of the architect in failing to pro-
vide suitable vent pipes to carry OFT the
gas; and again, have at times par
ticipated in driving it from stopped-up
sewers. 1t is easily controlled by any
experienced sanitarian. A very sim
nile test for sewer gas will be given
the readers of THE NEWS on my
