RIGID HEALTH MEASURES.

Steamship Arisona's People Have Their
First Experiences With the Health Board.
A handsome looking man appeared this
afternoon in the quarters of the City
Board OF Health. and handed to Sanitary
Inspector Benjamin a slip of paper which
proved to be bill Of health of the steam
ship Arizona of the Guiou line. Com
mander Brooks, SO the bill said. reported
the crew OF 164 persons to be in good
health. as were the 919 passengers. She
made the trip from Liverpool and Queens
town in eight days. and had a miscelia-
neous cargo OF merchandise. She docked
at the foot of York street, and the slip
read that mo case Of leprosy wasfound Oh
board. Leprosy. it is understood, ID
general way, covers any contagious dis
from which vessel sails, whether cholera
or typhus.
This action on the part of the anrhor-
tiles OF the Arizona is due to the rigid
measures the New Jersey State Board OF
Health has promulgated In view OF the
possible incursfon of cholera or
typhus futo this country this
sumner. This is the first dine the Ari-
zona has docked In Jersey City. Speak

were thrown down by the earthquake.
Tins far tho bodies of twenty persons
killed BY falling walls have been removed
from the debris, and it is feared that
many more dead are still in the ruins.
The number of persons injured runs into
the hundreds. Everything is confusion,
and the work of searching for bodies and
for the injured cannot be pursued sys-
tematically. The greater portion of the
Inhabitants have fled to the plains back
of the city, where they wander about in a
distracted manner, bewailing the loss of
their homes and property. A large num-
Der OF tents that were taken to Zante to
shelter the people who were rendered
homeless by the former earthquakes,
have been again set up. and under them
some OF the women and children have
taken refuge.
The city presents a scene of desolation,

BLUE NIGGER'S SLAUGHTER.
A Convict in Auburn Prison Runs Amuc
-Four Victims.

A Convict in Auburn Prison Runs Amuck
-Four Victims.
AUBURN, N. Y. April II, 1893.-John
johnson. who is known as the "Blue Mig
ger from Clyde" ran amuck in the broom
shop Of Auburn Prison this morning. He
was armed with sharp kni fe used in cut
ting broom corn, and first attacked Charles
Peck, fellow convict from Westchester
County
Leaving him dead in his tracks, he next
fatally stabbed another convict and
wounded two others before he was shot by
the keeper and rendered powerless. Par
ticulars are very meagre as yet. but the
coroner has just arrived and an inquest
will be held at once.
johnson was first sentenced to Auburn
in 1885 for ten years for assault in the first
degree. He was released a year ago in
January, but was re-arested at the gate
after desperate struggle and was taken
back to Clyde for trial on other indict-
ments. He came back on sentence of
four years and had not, given any trouble
until this morning He had also served a
term in Sing Sing for receiving stolen
property.
Charles Peck. his victim, was sentenced
from Westchester County in 1889 for burg
larry in the first degree to 13 years.
The other convict most seriously sta b.
bed by johnson was Daniel Britton. The
blade entered his stomach and he now
lies in precarious condition in the hos
pital. It is thought he will die. johnson
stabbed right and left while he was at
liberty and several other convicts suffer-
ed severe cuts. The blade of John
sons knife was broken off during
the melee an cannot be found. He di-
rected vicious blow at Keeper Mitchell
after the blade had been broken, bnt it
did not penetrate his clothing. The
keeper drew his revolver, but Just as he
was about to pull the trigger melody
hit his arm and the call went wide of its
mark. It'frightened johnson into sur
rendering. however, and he made no fur
ther resistance. He was taken TO the
prison jail.
The cause of the trouble is said to have
been an old grudge held by johnson
against number of convicts in the shop,
and he had made q th reat that as soon as
Captain Baker had day off Q would do
up the shop. Baker was not on duty to-
dav.

The Third Mishap of an Unlucky Tug
Other Accidents.
This morning at a quarter OF three
o'clock the tugboat Olive Baker, lying at
the Scranton Coal Company's docks at
the foot of Hudson street was discovered
on fire by John Carey, the dock watch
man. Flames were seen issuing from
around the smokestack and rapidly
spreading. Carey Immediately sent
ont an alarm, The fire spread
with great rapidity. and before the ire
men, who responded with alacrlty, ar
rived, the entire upper works OF the Doat
were in abiaze. A deck-hand, two fire.
men and the cook of the boat were Sleep
ing on board, and on being awakened nad
barely time to seize their clothing and es-
cape to the dock.
The crew were Mate William Cobb,
Engineer John Ward and Fireman Eli
wood Smith and Jacob jacobson.
The Baker was moored to the tug
Emma Kate Ross which was scorched
and in danger To save the Ross the
Baker was cut adrift and she
foated toward the river IL the
middle of the basin. Streams were
thrown upon her from the shore until the
flames went out. She was then toWed
into the adjoining basin on the north and
she is now at Ross & Sandford's dry
dock.
The Baker is an unfortunate boat. She
was sunk in December last by the ferry
boat Hudson City off the Cortlaudt street
ferry slip on this side. A year ago
she sunk in the basin. and three
years ago in Oyster Bay. Two
years ago last fall Captain Walsh was
in command when the Baker rescued
several men who were floating out to sea
on scow.
The crew cannot account for the origin.
Captain Walsh thinks that hot Goals
may have been accidentally dropped from
the furnace on the wood work.
The Olive Baker is owned by Captain
William Walsh, whose loss Is $4,000, and
is not insured.
