Surgeon General Wyman, OF the

The Board of Health is preparing the

Yesterday ur. joseph J. KiDyoun. the
surgeon in chief at Quarantine, called at

description of the cases mentioned, In
Guiding the duration Of the Illness In
each case, It's character, when the patient
died and where, and the location of the
places of death and the relation Of these
places TO each other.
The surgeon also wanted compara-
tive table Of cases Of Intestinal diseases
OF the months OF August of the present
year and of 1892. The object of Dfafuing
this comparative table is to discover
whether intestinal diseases are mora
virulent this summer than during the

QUARANTINE STATION.
1t Is on Nealey Avenue, North Of
the Black Bridge.

The Indications that AsIatic cholera
existed within the city limits induced
the Health Board to procure some means
of handling the cases. For this it was
absolutely necessary that some asylum
should be procured for isolating all
suspected cases. The City Hospital was
decidedly not adapted for such pur-
posed because of the danger of Infection.
An isolated house in a thinly populated
district was considered the proper thing.
For this reason q house on the road TO
Snake Hill was secured, which is con-
yenient to both this city and Snake Hill.
This house is situated on Nealey ave-
nue.. side street which starts out from
1onuele avenue some 900 feet north of
the Black Bridge. and runs westward to
the railroad cut. On this unimproved
avenue the new pest house has a 'front.'
age Of fifty feet. 1t is thres-story brick
structure. and has in addition q high
cellar.
Inside the halls and rooms are large,
and the ceilings. high. In case of an
emergency As many as hundred pa
overcrowding. The height OF the ceiling
Will keep the air pure and cool. In ad
dition numerous large windows con-
tribute TO the purity of the atmosphere.
Outside. the situation is perfect. Inc
section Is thinly populated and few
houses are seen. Those that do appeA-
are separated from the pest-house by
varying stretches of grlslnd from. q quar-
ter to half a mile. Tie only exception
is q brick house adjoining the pest-nouse.
But this will probably be vacated i'm
mediately. One Of its tenants, Mrs.
Ferrol, Will take up her abode in the pes-
house. She has been engaged as janitress
and assistant nurse. She Is well qualified
for the latter office. She is doctors
widow.
The house has been thoroughly
scrubbed, cleaned and disi, 4 eted and is
now ready for immediate use. Warden
Osborne of the City Hospital was ordered
to send ali the available beds and bed
ding to the house on Neatly Avenue.
There were only ten not In actual use
are now in the house and have been SET
up.
The house has been leased for an entire
year. It Is not known IL the lease in
cludes the adjoining house, but 1t is De-
lieved that IL does. A Mr.. Norris is the
owHer OF both houses, and 1t seems prob
able that the other house has been Sc
cured also. It will probably De used as
dispensary and sleeping apartments, for
the nurses will be located In it.
This is the same building that the
Board of Health held in readiness for
cholera cases last year, but whicn fortun-
ately was not used.
DIR. H. b. Brinkerhoff. Jr., will be
placed In charge.
