but they are not any too clean
within. No. 8 State street looked
deserted. All the windows and
blinds were closely drawn, and there
appeared to be nobody within. On
the stoop OF No. 8 State street were
c~ongregated several women and two
men. They were all serious-looking.
and were conversing in undertones.
One of the men was drunk, and in
violent tones he called to the re-
porter:
what do you wantf There is no
cholera here
1t was evident that all OF the party
were greatly frightened. They main
tanned q frigid silence and eyed the
reporter suspiciously.
One man in the nelghborhood said
he had seen the body of Morton, who
died at No. 8 State street, and that it
was black and purple, the limbs yer
drawn up and the face was distorted.
One of the neighbors had told him. he
said, that Morton suffered terribly.
Morton lived on the third floor of No.
3 State street with his wife, child and
mother-in-law. He vas employed as
a fruit carrier in Washington Mar
ket, New York. He handled for
eign fruit, and he was in
the habit of bringing some of it home.
The neighbors say the family were
great fruit eaters. Morton was taken
i'll on Monday. August 81. He was
out on Sunday. 1t is barely possible
that he might have been in the COM
pany of the colored man, Morse.
Mrs. Smith, Morton's sister-in-law,
nursed him through his illness. She
died twenty-four hours after Morton
did. Mrs. Morton also nursed her
husband, but as yet she has shown
no symptoms of disease. Their child,
however, vas very i'll, butts now out
of danger.

Three Very Suspicious Cases. the
County Physician Admits.

1t was a quarter to seven o'clock
last night when aJERsEY CITY NEWS
reporter, after a hot chase, coralled
County Physician Converse at his
home on Palisade avenue. He had
just alighted from his buggy and run
hurriedly upstairs when the reporter
reached the house. A very pleasa
faced lady, amiabie and courteous nj
answer to the reporters request. to
see the docto1. ush him into the
parior and called DIR. Converse. The
latter entered the parlor about three
minutes later, prepared for the street
and seemingly anxious and worried.
Doctor, / would like to get the
facts relative to the suspected exist
ence of cholera in the CITY," / said.
II have nothing TO say about the
matter" the doctor replied.
IN DOUBT.
1.-THE NEWS is aware that there is
some reason to fear that cholera is
here. and would very much like to
have a true statement of the matter
II do not positively know that
there is cholera here, though we
have had some suspected cases, and
have treated them with the greatest
precautions
What was the result of DR.. Edson's
meteorological examination today Of
the intestines of one of the suspected
persons?"
II have not heard. l have received
no word today from DIR. Edison. We
have had two suspected cases and
have taken the necessary precautions
to prevent a spread of the disease, if it
is cholera. Every possible precaution
| has been taken. For the past two
| days WI have been at this work and
we do not fear further contagion, even
if the disease has been present i'll the
| city. We are tonight prepared for
twelve cases, and can isolate them at
first notice"
Ibid the four persons who died
from eating crabs, as it was supposed.
die of cholera?"
sThat / don't know. The doctors
issued certificates saying they died OF
cholera morbus. They were buried,
and We had nothing to do with the
cases.
/ THE STATE STREET BOXES.
Then the suspected persons are
the ones vino lived in State street,
I'VE have had to do with two
cases, namely, Mrs. Josephine Smith,
of State street, and Mrs. Martin
Grove, the orderly at the Hospital
We are suspicious OF these tw
cases.
do you know in what manner
they might have contracted the dis
ease n
mo; that we have been unable t.
trace. A cholera patient might have
been smuggied into the city. or thu
clothes of one, or the mat tress, will
which Morton might have come II
contact. But we do not know"
do yoR fear a spread of the dis
easef"
Positively no. There is no cause

s.l0uld be Kept under observation.
Where suspected cases occur At fer
ries, railroads, factories or to any per-
sons away from home, the folio wing
suggestions are of service
All surfaces soiled with cholera
discharges should be thoroughly
scrubbed with the disinfectants. care
being taken to permit none OF the
discharge to pass into cracks in the
floor, or through them to the surface
beneath.
The water closets and urinals
should be kept constantly and thor
ouglny cleansed and disinfected.
Boards should inspect stations and
all public buildings.
The floors of ferry boats. ferry
houses, railroad cars and depots
should be scrubbed daily after thor
ough disinfection. They should not
be swept until after thorough sprink-
ling with the disinfecting solution !;
and the ~sweepfngs should be disin-
fected again before being thrown
