that they had callsd attention to the fact
that in 1e4S the county had been relieved

of the Town Commissioners. 1t was
decided that it would be best to ill up

and complained of the pond of stagnaut
water existing in the rear OF Odd Fellows
Hall, stating that it has been increasing
having no outlet, until it has become,
injurious to the health of the neighbor-
hood. He asked that it be drained away,
as it is filled to great extent by the
flow of water from the streets. The
matter was held under advisement.

BtusG another member of his race with
whom he bsgau discourse, and which
continued somewhat vivacious CD until
Brown remarked that he could brush
him down. OF course, McCabe raised a
defence to being rudely razsd to the
ground, whereupon Thomas Blake, also
colored who was but short distance
off, sprang to cognizauce by crying out
to Brown that his, Blakes, combative
powers, were held in readiness for a call.
Call or no call, Blake volunteered, and
his debut was recognized by McCabe's
arm ascending, and with iya massive
stick, known to him as a cane. AS
would be expected, this attitude exasper
ated Blake, who i'll the twinkling of an
eye and before tho descent of the cane,
administered slight application of his

to Ms. B axes views, her feelings were
terribly shattered Oy hearing McCabe
utter words unfit for any ears, some of

reports, the war to a knife, became a
wordy war, with McCabe the aggressor,

by Bailiff Boulder being summoned.

The appearance Of the Scourge
Identical With That of 1866.

The Appearance Of the Scourge
Identical With That of 1866.
NEW YORK. Sept. 1.-THE situation
is identical with that of 1866, when the
cholera suddenly appeared in three or
four widely separated places in the city
in Ninety-third street.and in Mulberry
street, quite five miles apart, after 1t
had been successfully quarantined out
the previous fall. Then, as now. fleet
of plague ships lay in the bay.
But the cases of cholera that brought
it TO New York had no connection with
quarantine. The real origin of the
plague was never discovered. The first
case IN that epidemic was that of a
widow who lived on the rocks in Ninety
third street. above Third avenue.
The first case this year was that of
Charles McAvoy, who died at ST9
Tenth avenue. He was plaS-
terer. The only possible elew may
be found in the statement of
men working abont steamboat wharfs-
Yet none of these ships had come up to
its wharf. He was seized with cramps
in the legs on Monday evening, bur felt
better in the morning and went TO his
work. AT IL O'Clock in the forenoon he
came home and said he was sick. He
went to bed and had fresh attack of
cramps. The pain extended to the alb
domen and kidneys, and violent diar-
rh9a and vomiting followed.
DR.. Robert Deshon. of 364 West Fifty
sixth street. was called in. He dia-
nosed the case as Asiatic cholera. and
called DR.. L. Robinson, of 402 West
Fiftv-eighth street, in consultation. He
confirmed the diagnosis. In the even
ing MeAvoy died. and the doctors adj
vised the board of health. An autopsy
was made upon McAvoy'S body, and
the house was disinfected as measure
of precaution. The result of the au topsy
was declared by DR.. Biggs to be mot at
all suggestive of Asiatic cholera, while
showing the familiar signs of cholera
morbus'
However, some of the intestinal fluid
was taken TO sanitary headquarters, and
an attempt made to raise coma bacilli
in it by cultivation in a soil of gelatlne
and beef soup. A fine crop was the re-
suit. The germ had been found. The
nature OF tile disease was no longer
open TO question. Eight days have
now elapsed since MeAvoy's death.
What caused the long delay in aseer-
tanning the exact facts of his death is
not stated.

ANOTHER PLAGUE SHIP.
Two Deaths on Board the Tank
Steamer HeIiOooIand

QUARANTINE, Sept. 14.-Dr. Waller
reports the following new case on
board the Scaudia: Stoman Ellitoitch,
taken i'll this morning. Another cholera
infected vessel from Hamburg arrived
here today, having had two cholera
deaths during the voyage. DR.. Byron
teiephoned to the quarantine commits
sloners this afternoon from Swinburne
Island giving information of the vessel.
he announced the arrival of the oil
tank steamer Heliogoland, which left
Hamburg for this port Aug. 20, at a
time when cholera was raging fiercest.
The vessel was only one day at sea
when Michael Zalandia, one of the
crew, was taken sick with diarrhRa
and vomiting. He continued to get
worse. and on Aug. 81 died. His body
was cast overheard. There was a crew
of thirty-three men. Early on the
morning of Sept. 2 another of the crew
was taken i'll. 1t was seen at once that
his sickness was similar to the man
that died. His name was James Hos
redSon. He only lived one day, and was
buried at sea.
The crew feared further attack. but
there was no further outbreak during
the rest of the voyage. Dr.. Byron
found the ship in good condition and
the crew bright aud hearty. The steam
ship was ordered to anchor in the lower
bay, and the doctor permitted fresh
water TO be taken on board.

DANGEROUS IMPORTS.
Sugar Sacks and Rags From Ham,
burg Easily Infected.

PHILADELPHIA,Se Sept. 1.-THE steam
ship Loeb Elive. which sailed from Ham,
burg on Aug. %, having on board rags,
glassware, etc, is now detained at the
federal quarantine at the Delaware
breakwater.. The Catania, of the same
line, with sugar. toys. cement, burnt
clay, ETC., is also detained under similar
circumstances.
Mr.. Shakespeare. the cholera expert.
who is the physician of the port of Phil
adelphia. expresses the opinion in
communication to the board of health
that sugar sacks and rags infected at
Hamburg are still infectious when they
reach Philadelphia. He points out the
case with which these articles could
become infected with the eXcreation or
the vomit OF dock laborerr ar Hamburg
taken suddenly ill while at work or in
whose homes the dread disease existed.
and therefore recommends that vessels
arriving Fl ON infected ports with sugar
and rags should be refused admission.

occasion for excitement in the
city. The health department has
taken every possible measure to pre-
vent the spread of the infection. Mr..
w llson was averse. to talking on the
subject. and said that the bulletin. of
the health department contained every-
lhing there was to be said. Sanitary.
Superintendent Edison said there was
no danger of cholera becoming epidem-
ic. There would be sporadic cases. he
SAID, for at least sixty days until real
cool weather sets In, which will have
the effect of stamping out the disease.
Ihe health officials have sent to Z lis
island for the passenger lists of all yes
sels that have arrived here since Aug.
-. Every effort will be made to trace
the passengers as far as practicable.
Dr. Edison said the infection which
caused cholera to break out here must
nave come through some quarantine.
IL may have been caused by some in
Iected baggage or clothing or some pas
senger VINO came ashore, who may have
communicated the germs. The source
of infection is being investigated very
carefully
