DANGER FROM A POND.
RESIDENTS IN FORT HAMILTON IN FEAR
OF AN Epidemic.

TWENTY OFFICERS or THE EIGHTY sXrH-sT
rorJcr STATION STRICKEN WITH TYPHOID
ARIA-prsINFEcTANrs KILLED rIsIG
AND ONLY MADE THINGS WORSE.
The announcement yesterday that there would.
within the next few days. he any amount OF ty-
phoid malaria in Fort Hamilton unless large
pond In the rear Of the Town Hall was immediate
" filed in Is causing considerable excitement and
worrIment among the residents of the place. who
fear that the disease will be brought into their
families.
As it is now. AT least twenty of the officers at
tached to the Eighty sxth-st. police station
which is in the Town Hall building. are laid up
with typhoid malaria, and yesterday the MEM
bers Of tie family of Mr.. Hass, whose house is
about twenty five yards from the place, were
stricken.
The pond has been complained Of for some time
by the officers attached to the precinct, as their
sleeping rooms overlook II. and compelled them TO
nhale the miasma from the impure water Word
was sent last week to the Board OF Health by the
acting captain and DR.. Ford stating the condition
Of affairs and after a consultation II was decided
to disinfect the pond.
This was done on Monday, but it was not taken
into consideration at the time that there were
at least two OF three hundred fish in the pond,
including a number of fantail eels that had been
placed there a dozen years ago. The pond was no
sooner disnfected than the fish began 10 appear
on the surface and within d short time after
they were floating about dead The eels were Of a
remarkable size many of them measuring from
three TO four feet in length, While the German
carp weighed four pounds or more.
The police kept watch over the pond for
fear that the Italians working in the neghbor-
home to their families thereby causing them TO
he poisoned. All cattle and dogs were pre-
vented from drinking there but those on watch
had a hard time in keeping the fowls which
roam about the pond from getting down to the
place to drink.
The pond not feared so much before the
dsenfectng but now the people living in It's
neighborhood protesting loudly. The nsh
that could he scooped out Of the pond were bur
led yesterday by the police. There is already
heavy green scum upon the water.
The disease, il warm weather sets In, Will
certainly play havoc with the people. and the
Board Of Health. it is declared should see that
the pond is filled in Immediately. This the po-
lice of the Eghty-5ixth-st. station say should
have been done at first. but II appears that the
pond is on property belonging to the State and
the Board of Health is waiting for instructions.
There are any number Of sandbanks surround
ing the place and IL could be filed in easily
within twenty-four hours. The pond is about
$50 feet wide ami 80 feet long.
