era In New York City.

/ I I 4
New YORK, Sept. 17.--So far the
board of health has been unable to
trace the origin of the cholera cases
that have occurred in the city.
Thursday night three girls who
came out as Storage passengers on
the Friesland and were under quar-
antine in the house where little
Minnie Levinger sicl1ened and died, All
East Forty sixth street, were removed
to Willard Parker hospital, where they
will be detained for the present under
strict surveillance. 1t is supposed they
brought the infection into the Levinger
household.
The health board has appointed
TWENTY-FIVE more physicians as sanitary
inspectors and increased the disinfect-
ing corps by six more men. They also
asked the police board to detail po-
licemen at all houses where there
are suspected cases of cholera. East
Sixteenth street, leading to the recep-
ton hospital, will be temporarily closed
to the public and all suspicious deaths
from diarrhea reported by the deputy
coroners will be promptly investigated
by the experts Of the health depart
ment.
The funds for protection are daily
piling up, and the people who read the
morning papers are treasured. In one
fund-that of the chamber of COM
merce-is now the sum of $156, 900, over
$63, 200 of the total having come in yes
terday. The poor who read feel their
anxiety lessened. The rich are alert
with their means, and this counts for
good to the poor more indeed than to
the wealthy.
The Normannla passengers left Fire
island at o'clock a. m. Four hundred
boarded the Cepheus and about
thirty, including E. Z. Godxin,
Senator Mcpherson, A. NJ. Palmer
and Lottie Collins, came by way
of Babylon, taking the train
there. They arrived in New
York at 1880 o'clock. The Cepheus
got :. away and proceeded a mile
or SO when she grounded on a
| bar where she lay until re-
| leased at H. o'clock. Most of the
detained passengers will go directly to
their homes and few will remain in
New York on account of the scare.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. 1.-THE
state board Of health at a special meet
ing Friday empowered the city of In
dianapolis to quarantine all trains as it
may deem necessary and adopted
rigid rules in relation to the inspec-
tion of trains at the state, line.
Local boards of health were author
lied to inspect all trains that come
from districts where cholera is sup
posed to exist and were instructed
to not allow any suspicious persons or
baggage to enter the state All the
trains entering Indianapolis from the
east are now being carefully inspected
beyond the city limits.
CAMP Low, SANDY Hook, N. j., Sept.
17.-The first day of martial rule began
by the marines being marched down
to the beach for bathing. Every
one expected that the camp would
be opened Friday morning, and
according TO advices Thursday
night 800 emigrants were to have been
received here from Hoffman island,
but Gen. Ramilton's plans have been
frustrated by the opposition of the
local authorities of Middleto.vn, who
have quarantined the lines of the Cen
trail railroad of New Jersey running
into camp, and have cut off the supplies
of disinfectants.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE quaran-
tine inspection commission appointed
at the recent national conference of
| the state boards of health concluded its
work here and resumed it's tour, which
/ will extend along the entire At
lantic, Pacific, Mexican and Canadian
borders A report will be made rs to
the sanitary condition of every port Of
entry along this vast stretch of border.
DR.. j. Nj. Mccormack. health officer of
Kentucky and member of the COM
mission, gave some interesting particu-
lars of the inspection tour and of it's
! bearing on the cholera. He said:
''We have inspected every border point from
/ Halifax to New York city, and have data from
! which reports will be nude on the sanitary
4 dition of every point OF entry We found the
l stations in the main unprepared for
i the cholera emergency which has come.
/ They have antiquated disinfecting facilities
l and insufficient accommodations for the
sick. Thus far, New Orleans and Charleston
| are the only ports in the country properly
equipped to keep out plague. 1t has been DR..
Jenkins stubbornness which has saved New.
York up to the present time. for he was willing
| to give discomfort to few thousand people in
order to save e., 0O0, 900 people
DIR. Mccormack said that in, one re-
spect the cholera will confer a benefit
upon the country. 1t has SO alarmed
the people that streets, alleys and sew
ers will be thoroughly cleaned and the
entire country will be in a better sani-
tary condition than ever before. This
improved condition, he says, will ma
terially reduce the mortality from or
binary diseases.

eminent has declared quarantine
against New York The official ga
zette announces that all vessels arriv-
ing at Spanish ports will be detained.
Persons arriving at frontier stations
from New York will also be subject to

it's appearance here. Trustworthy in
i formation has been received showing

CURED daily for the last few days, but
the authorities have suppressed the

prevented from becom ng epidemic.
