New YORK, Sept. 19.-Cholera, as a
matter of news, has fallen out of public
interest. The city papers print it on the
inside pages, reserving more prominent
page for the Grand Army encampment
and politics.
The girl Mary Connerty will be dis
charged from the reception hospital in a
few days. 1t is generally conceded that
she is not cholera victim.
A CASE IN A BOARDING HOUSE.
Louis Weinhagel, coachman, was re-
moved tonight by the health authori-
ties from boarding house at 306 Exeter
place, to the receiving hospital at the
foot OF West Sixteenth street. He is
believed to be suffering from an attack
OF Asiatic cholera, and the physicians in
attendance have expressed the opinion
that Weinhagel could not live through
the night. The house, which contains
over 200 other boarders, has been placed
under quarantine.
THE NEW BRUNSWICK CASE.
DR.. Roberts has quarantined the canal
boat Henry Cahill, lying at the foot of
West Thirty first street, the captain and
owner OF which died at New Brunswick,
N j., last night, supposedly of cholera.
He has also seized the bedding and
clothing aboard the boat, and disln-
fected the craft. An inspector of the
board Of health has been sent to New
Brunswick to procure some of the intes-
final fluid from the body of Carr, for
psychological examination.
sTEERAGE PASSENGERS sMUGGLED IN.
The Furnessia arrived here today,
from Glasgow, with 628 passengers on
board 22l in the first cabin, and 407 in
the second cabin. 1t was reported down
town that the Furnessia was carrying
steerage passengers as cabin passengers,
in order to avert the twenty-day quar-
antine regulation. 1t was said as many
as 407 supposed second cabin, were re-
ally steerage passengers, and that when
the list was examined, the names of 50
were missing. At the Office of the COM
pany it was denied that steerage passen-
gers had come over in the cabin. The
authorities will likely investigate. The
steamer is still in quarantine.
DIR. JENKINS CRITICISED.
Three hundred and fifty-six passen-
gers from the steamer Rugia and Scan
dia were taken to Hoffman island this
morning, making the total number in
quarantine there 1865. The passengers
from the pest ships Rugia and Scandia
are thus turned loose among people who
are not known to have been infected,
and are being held there merely as
precautionary measure. Thirteen of the
lot from the Scandia had been in the
pest house on Swinburne island. Gem
eral Hamilton is very indignant at DIR.
jenkins for sending them to Hoffman
island.
