SM0THERED In A SEWER.
Six Men Overtaken by Deadly Gas in
New York Trench


NEW YORK, Aug. "a. 1892. Six laborers,
employed by the DEPARTMENT of Public
Works, while engaged in constructing a
sewer at the foot Of East Twenty -fourt h
street at seven o'clock this morning were
overcome bysewer GAS
They We're all removed to Bellevue Hos
pital.
The men are:
Edward Sullivan, thirty-one. of No. 1876
East 10th street.
PatriLk Crotty, thirty-four, of No. 214
West Sixteenth street.
Michael Flynn, twenty-seven, of No.
s49 East Twenty-second street.
John Dwyer, thirty eight, of No. 230
West Sixty first street.
John Kearns, thirty-three, of No. 3Sg
West stIeet
Edward Sullivan. twenty-seyen, of No.
1888 Second street.
The sewer is being constructed for q
distance of $50 feet from the Twenty
fourth street end OF the Water Works
dock to the drain at the Twenty fifth
street entrance. About two hundred feet
of the sewer have been completed, and Is
being now used for sewage. The unfin-
ished part Is an open ditch, through
watch the effluvium pours into the fin-
ished part of the sewer and Is carried off
to the river.
1t was while removing the scaffolding
called ''the CENTRE" in the finished sewer,
that the men were overcome by the gas.
They had gone down through the man
hole at the Twenty-fourth street end, pu
neglected the precaution of permitting
the gas to escape before decending.

QUARANTINE PRECAUTIONS.

Seven Ships From Infected Ports Ex-
pected-Serious Outlook
Within the next Ave days seven steam
ships sailing from the choIera-infected
ports Of Europe will have arrived in this
city. The Havel, from Bremen. and the
Italia, from Stettin, are due today. Sat
urday the Augusta Victoria, from Ham
burg, and La Touraine. from Havre, are
expected to come in, and tue following
day the America. from Bremen, and the
Gellert. from Havre, are due. with the
Saale, from Bremen, expected Monday.
Each of these vessels will probably
bring in large number of immigrants,
some of whom may have been exposed to
the Infection, aud it is more than likely
that the quarantine authorities will dnd
some cases of the dreaded disease. At
any rate, they will have plenty to keep
them busy for the next month or so, for,
since the alarming spread of the epidemic
abroad has become known, the autho-
rites at Washington have been thorough
ly aroused to the necessity of taking
every precaution TO prevent the introduc-
ton of the disease into this country.
A new centre Of the cholera epidemic
has developed at Hamburg within the
last few days, aud the disease is reported
to be spreading there with frightful
rapidity. More than three haudred cases
have been already discovered, and nearly
one hundred and fifty deaths from cholera
have occurred within the past week.
GENUINE AsIATIC CHOLERA FEARED.
Medical experts who have been iBves-
tigating the matter carefully have
pronounced the disease in many
cases to be genuine Asiatic cholera.
Consul General Williams, at Havre,
has reported to the Treasury Depart
ment at Washington that the epidemic
has broken out there, and advises that
the steamship La Touraine. which sailed
from that port on August 20, should be
detained at Quarantine until it is certai In
that every danger from the Infection has
passed.
AS it only takes from twenty-four
hours to three days for the germs of the
disease TO develop, cases would begin to
show themselves before even the fastest
of the ocean liners could arrive at
this port. In the case of Havre, the
cholera was undoubtedly brought
there from Paris. where it has been prev
alent for some time. and emigrants would
be the very class of persons who would
be most likely to be exposed to the conta-
gion.
Ali the steamships from Hamburg land
their passengers at Hoboken.

Wn8RB is CONTRACTOR BYRNE?

The City Is Suffering From an Epidemic
of Uuswept Dust.
Many strong and healthy ''cuss" words
were uttered on Montgomery street today,
and these words were particularly vieor-
GUS in the neighberhood of the ferry. The
binding dust which brisk breeze waited
into the eyes. ears and nostrils of every
person passing down the street called
forth the exclamations. The great preva.
lence of dust is owing to the scarcity OF
water in the reservoir at High Service.
Water is so scarce there that people have
been forbidden by the Street and Water
Commissioners to use it for street spriu-
king purposes. This evil will be reme-
died in a day or two, and the sprinklers
will be out in force.
