Thankful Crowd Ashore-No Case OF
Cholera Has Yet Reached New York city.
New York, Sept lathe official bulletin
of the New York board of health says that
no case of cholera has yet appeared in this
city, and the official report Of DR.. Jenkins
from the quarantine stations says that no
new cases have been developed on the de-
tuined vessels aud no deaths have occurred.
So the situation may be said 20 be decidedly
encouraging.
Another cause Of satisfaction is the fact
that at last the III starred cabin passengers
OF the steamship Normannia are on dry
land. Their eventual transfer 10 Fire island

Tho Passengers Landed.
Senator Mcpherson, Of New Jersey, On
voloped in a heavy winter coat, was the first
TO jump on land from the tug from the
Copheus He looked in delicate health, but
said he felt pretty well, considering tho
strong pressure be had undergone. r. H.
Thompson was the next 70 jump ashore,
and then camo A. NJ Palmer, the wen
known theatrical manager. They wero the
committee of the passengers who did so

wnitors OF the Surf hotel had American
flags and waved them most vigorously
while their prospective guests disemharked.
The cheering was lusty and almost inces-

Women who had so long borne up under
the distressing circumstances, aud had so
heroically endured all the hardships that
have thus far attended tho Normannias

control ia the joyous moment, and wept
{ and shouted and jumped about like a NUM-
Der OF school children.
The contagion OF the spirit Of good fell
lowship was everywhere evidenced, women

J each others hands like comrades after a
declaration of peace Preceded by the
band, which played lively martial and ma

sacks and other travelling equipments in
e hand, marched down the gang plank TO the
i Surf hotel, waving hats, umbrellas and
showls in the air and altogether acting
moro like so many insane patients than rep
