NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-The Herald this
friday morning says: Another plague
ship is in port and another story OF dis
ease and death on the voyage. Eleven
more victims were added to the long list
of those who died Of cholera between
Hamburg and New York. This is the
story of the steamship Bohemia, which
reached New York last night and an
chored in the lower quarantine. The
HeraLGS tug, which had been waiting
for her inside the Hook, drew up
alongside as she steamed in, and
Captain Schroeder came to the rail TO tell
about the voyage. He admitted the
essential facts of the misfortunes that
had befallen the company. "We had
eleven deaths on board,' said the Cap
tain; "all little children. There is no
sickness on board at present"
"Was it cholera?''
''I can't tell. The last death was five
days ago. Nobody has been i'll on board
since them"
''How long after you left port did the
first death occur?'
about the fourth day. No adult pos
Bengers died or have been sick.''
ANOTHER CASE IN NEW YORK.
NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-Mary Connerty,
19-year-old girl, who came from Ire
land six months ago, was removed to the
Reception Hospital to-day from tenement
No. 692 Second avenue, suffering from
what was announced as genuine cholera.
1t is not known how she got the plague.
Orders were issued to have the girl re-
moved at once to the Reception Hospital,
at the foot of East sixteenth street.
No. 692 Second avenue is a tenement in
which eight families live. The house was
thoroughly disintected to-day, and the
bedding on which the sick girl laid was
taken away and burned. All her cloth
ing was also burned.
Employees of the health department
visited Mrs. Finn's clearinghouse,
where the girl recently washed, and took
away the bed which she slept in there.
and whatever clothing she had. Every
thing was burned TO destroy the infection,
and the boarding house was also disin-
fected. Mrs. Firms boarders, eight in
number, are professional people. They
are badly scared, and physician was
detailed to watch the house from which
the girl was removed. A large crowd
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 the city in which the patient
was alive.
The immigrant passengers of the
steamer Friesland, which arrived here
August 18th, seem to have brought the
disease to little Minnie Levinger, who
died September 18th. The passengers are
traced back to Antwerp, which place they
reached from other cities of Europe
doubtless infected with cholera. When
they reached quarantine there was no
illness reported aboard, and after a few
hours detention and so-called fumiga
ton they were allowed to proceed. From
the steamship pier the passengers
scattered over the city and country. -Four
young women went to the house where
little Minnie lived. The infection was
probably in their clothing, but they
escaped attack themselves.
Sanitary Superintendent Edison had a
conference with Police Superintendent
Byrnes to-day, and over two hundred
thousand cholera circulars are being dis
tributed through the city. They are
printed In English, German, Hebrew,
Italian and Bohemian.
The work OF fitting the floating hos
pital at the foot of Sixteenth street for the
reception of cholera patients is being
hurried along. Among the nurses offer
ing help are many young women of re-
fnement and education. The attire of
several indicated life of ease and wealth.
There have been many male applicants
also.
j. Pierpont Morgan, Treasurer of the
Chamber of Commerce quarantine emer-
gency fund, has acknowledged the re-
celpt of an additional 81, 1886 in subscriD-
tlOnS
acknowledged, S5S, 300. The grand total
to date is Sl30,635.
Tomorrow the Normannia's passen-
gers will be brought by boat from Fire
Island and landed at the Normannia's
pier in Hoboken. The landing NAV he
opposed by the New Jersey authorities.
IL is authorltatively stated that nine
steamships, carrying 5000 immigrants.

The most rigid inspection of all incon

who board them beyond the State line
If a case is found on any train the train
will be run on a branch line at once to
the State refuge camp. which has already
been established near the State line. Five
hundred tents are already there, and
everything is in readiness for the recep-
ton of patients. The railway companies
have notified the Health Department that
no foreign passengers will be accepted at
eastern points for the West unless each
bears clean bill of health.
At the hospital tonight it was stated
that the men were not suffering from
cholera. The hospital authorities seem to
be inclined to reticence, but it is thought
the Italians are suffering from combina-
ton OF acute mania and collie.
Three suspected cases of cholera were
reported to the health authorities to-
night, but upon investigation by experts
they were pronounced to be only cholera
morbus and cramps
The Bohemia was due here about mid
night tonight, but has not arrived. Much
anxiety is being experienced by the
health officers of the arrival of the boat,
as IL is feared she has many cases of
cholera aboard.
