C0nnerty, 19-yeat-Olu girl WIN Cdhic
from Ireland six months ago, was re-
moved to the reception hospital to-day
from the tenement, No. COZ Second
avenue, suffering from what has been
pronounced genuine cholera.
The case was reported to the Health
Department by DR.. G. j. Kane, OF No.
673 Second avenue, who was called In TO
attend the sick girl. Inspector Dilling.
ham, of the Board OF Health, declared
the patient had cholera. 1t is not
known how she got the plague.
When the girl arrived in this city she
went to live with a family named
Lyons, friends of hers, on the third
floor OF the tenement, No. 692 Second
avenue. Six or seven weeks ago she
secured employment as servant In
Mrs. Marie L. Fenn's theatrical board
ing house at No. 221 East Thirty-tirst
street.
She was in good health until Wednes-
day night. That night she paid visit
to the Lyons family, and came home
about 10 p. m. About midnight she was
seized with violent paius, which were
followed with vomiting and dlarrh9.
Mrs. Fem sent for a doctor Courtney,
who, however, failed to answer the call.
After waiting few hours, DR.. Kane
was notified.
In the meantime Mary expressed a
wish to be taken to the Lyons apart
ments and she was removed there. DR..
Kane visited her at a. N. to-day and
after an examination diagnosed her Iii
ness as cholera. The police were noti-
fed and word was sent to the Bureau OF
Contagious Diseases.
DR.. Roberts sent Inspector DilIing-
ham up to the house, and he, too, was OF
the opinion that 1t was case OF chol-
era. This fact was telephoned to the
Board of Health, which was in session.
and orders were Issued to have the girl
removed at once to the reception hos
pital, foot Of East Sixteenth street,
Nc. 692 Second avenue Is tenement
in which eight families live. The house
was thoroughly disinfected to-day and
the bedding on which the sick girl laid
was taken away and burned. ALI her
clothing was also burned.
A physician has been detailed to watch
the house from which the girl was re-
moved. How she got cholera Is mJs-
tery. As far as can be learned she has
not visited any persons who have re-
Gently arrived from the other side. The
only place she went was to see the
LYONS family. The health inspectors
are trying to trace the origin OF the dis
ease.
There was much excitement around
the neighborhood when the girl was re-
moved. A large crowd had gathered
and it took several policemen to keep
the crowd back.
1t is believed the girl will die. The
physicians have possession OF some Of
the girls vomit for biological examina-
ton.
This is the first case of cholera re-
ported in this city while the patient was
alive.
FIRE ISLAND, n. Y, September 15.-Dr
Vought, who has charge of the release OF
the Normannia's passengers, tonight is
sued an official statement that all must
breakfast at o'clock in the morning and
be ready to leave the Island at 8. The bag
gage is on board the Cepheus, and there is
nothing to prevent an early start
ANTWERP, September 15.-The meas
ures taken here to repress cholera are
totally insufficient, and the ostrich-like
policy of the municipal authorities,
who, despite the fact that cholera vic
tins are daily taken to the hospitals,
continue to deny the existence OF the
disease, has caused the general
public TO forego personal precautions
that no doubt would tend greatly toward
checking the disease. AS result the
epidemic is spreading. Since yesterday
ten cholera patients have been taken to
the hospitals. and there is a strong sus-
picion that there are other victims Ill at
their own homes, of which no report
has been made. Two children and u
sailor died yesterday OF cholera on board
vessel in the harbor heIe. A seven
days quarantine against all vessels ar
riying from Bremen has been declared.
LONDON, September 15.-Six stow
Always from cholera infected street In
Antwerp were landed yesterday at
Dover from the steamer Appolo, bound
for New York. No opposition TO their
landing was made al Dover and the
stowaways subsequently started for
London. The local government board,
however, had been notified by telegraph
OF the facts and when the stowaways ar
rived at Canterbury they were stopped
and placed in quarantine. A protest
has been sent 10 the health authorities
at Dover against their endangering the
health OF the whole country through
their supineness and Indifference.
