New YORK, Sept. Captain Cross of
the Floredge-street station reports to-
night that he was informed by ID. H.
Beck of Irvington street that he attended
man named Elwainig on the fourth
floor of No. SO Orchard street, and
found him manifesting symptoms of
cholera. The man, he said, was
a Russian, and arrived on Sunday on
the steamer Russia. An officer of the
Board of Health visited the sick man and
denies that it is case of cholera.
A dispatch from the quarantine re-
ceived at P. NJ. says: "Dr. Jenkins has
just returned from Hoffman Island and
the steamer Moravia. There are no new
cases and no fresh developments, but one
of the crew of the steamer Hazel Kirke
was taken sick and, either knowing or
fearing he had cholera, jumped over
board and drowned himself
The arrival of steamers from Europe
particularly those from infected ports,
that are now at sea, is anxiously awaited
by the quarantine officials.
EThe cholera scare is rough on fruit
dealers in the Washington market and
elsewhere, for, since eating unripe or
oyerripe fruit has been tabooed by the
Board of Health, peaches, pears and
plums have been at discount, and large
dealers say they have hard work to find
market for goods at any price. Big train
loads OF fruit are coming in from the
country every day, and stocks are accu-
mulating with such rapidity that some of
the dealers can hardly find place to
store their crates, boxes and barrels.
To-day policemen are stationed on the
wharves and along the shores of the
1Gta from ,1afN, Ct.-
South Beach, a distance of four miles, to
prevent any landing of small boats.
which might have on board anyone who
had come from any vessel quarantined
or any person landing from a foreign
vessel. A strict watch is being kept also
to prevent emigrants from Swinburn or
Hoffman Island landing at Fort Wads-
worth.
The manner in which the circular of
urgeon-General Wyman was received
in shipping circles showed that the agents
were expecting such an order and real
lied the necessity for it.
Tonight everything at the quarantine
station is very quiet. Search for bacteria
in foul linen on board the Moravia which
was worn by cholera victims has been
frultless up to the present time, but fur
ther experiments will be carried on to-
morrow.
A strict guard is being kept on board

TO her Captain TO fire at anyone endeav-
oring to go alongside the steamer, except
the health representative. Although
things have been very quiet at the quar-
antine station to-day the Health officer
expects livelier times tomorrow and the
following day.
The Board of Health this morning an
pointed fifty special cholera INSPECTORS.
The Department of Public Works has
issued orders for full force of Inspectors
OF Nuisances in the Croton watershed to
begin thorough inspection of the patrol
OF all streams, reservoirs, lakes and

Lain this morning showed all the pas
sengers in exceptionally good health.
The Captain was instructed to fumigate
the vessel thoroughly and remain in
quarantine until given permission to
leave. The Immigrants on board will be
transferred to Hoffman Island for fur
ther inspection.
The Inspectors next went ON board the
steamer Gallia, which carries 22S cabin
passengers and $50 third class. All were
found to be healthy. The Gallia will be
retained until tomorrow or longer.
Among her thlrd-class passengers are 275
Russian Jews and 40 Poles.
On the Gallia the health officers found
nine children suffering from measles and
two from chicken-pox. The officers then
went TO the Circassia and Teutonic, and,
finding all precautions had been taken,
allowed them to proceed to the dock.
physician of the Health Department
said this morning: 1.-The order for Dr.
Sanborn to shoot any man who attempts
TO board the Moravia is in dead earnest.
and you can depend upon it that it will
be carried out. There will no trifiing
hereafter with the regulations
The Captain of the Moravia went ashore
on Staten Island last night. AS soon as
the fact was discovered he was ordered
back to his vessel. He had not been in
contact with infected part of the ship.

suit.
