YELLOW FEVER IN NEW YORK
Colonel Waring Dies OF 1t in a Big
Apartment House

New York, Oct. 29.-ColoneI George E.
Waring, Jr.. died of yellow fever this
morning at his home in this city. where
he had been since he arrived from Ha-
yana, on the Yucatan on Tuesday last
He was 81 years Of age. DR.. Blauvelt, who
had been attending Colonel Waring dur
ing his Illness, was summoned to the
house at o'clock this morning. He found
that Colonel Waring had been attacked
with black vomit This symptom contin-
ued all morning without cessation. Eve
rything possible was done for the dying
man. but he only lived until a quarter of
eight.
President Murphy OF the board Of health
was informed of the death of Colonel
Waring within five minutes after it oc-
Cured DR.. Roberts, the sanitary super
intendent, was ordered to have the body
placed in a Theoretically sealed casket
Immediately. Mr.. Murphy also gave or
ders that every precaution should be ia
ken to prevent the spread of the disease
lie said that extraordinary precautions
would be taken to this end.
Colonel Waring had been sent to the
city of Havana as a special commissioner
OF this government to ascertain the exact
sanitary conditions of that city and to
form ideas for the best methods of put
ting the place in firSt-class sanitary
shape. He was to report to the president.
and on the day he returned he said he
expected TO go to Washington the next
day. He said he felt unwell, but it was
not thought that he had moro than an
ordinary illness. He said that he had a
great deal of information which he
thought would be of service to the presi-
dent. The plan OF the commission was to
place the city Of Havana and the coast
towns of Cuba in such a good sanitary
condition that the recurrence OF yellow
fever and its entrance into the gulf cities
of the United States would be prevented
Colonel Waring was apparently well
when he left Havana, and he felt only
slightly III during the latter part OF the
voyage, but when he reached his home
he was obliged to take to his bed. II was
then discovered that he was suffering
from yellow fever.
Colonel Waring was Immediately isolat-
ed in his apartments on the ninth floor OF
the Rutherford, the apartment house in
which ne lived. There are nine families
in the house.
Precautions were Immediately taken TO
prevent the spread OF the disease. No one
but the physicians and Mrs. Waring, who
has had the disease, and is therefore i'm
mune. were allowed 10 see Colonel War
ing Everything that was taken in or
out OF the apartment was disinfected. In

HEALING WITHOUT MEDICINE

spectors Of the board Of health were sta
toned about and in the house to pre-
vent people from getting near to tke sick
man.
The doctors did not think at first that
the case was q malignant one. When Co.
lionel Warnings temperature rose TO 1854,
however, the physicians became alarmed
and the case was considered in its most
serious form, and Colonel Waring was
treated accordingly. 1t was plain that he
was getting worse. The black vomit,
the most serious symptom, was fought
OF until O'Clock this morning. The end
came six hours later.
Three hours after the death of Colonel
Waring, his body, enclosed in a metallic
casket, was taken from the apartment he
had occupied to the dock at the foot OF
Fifteenth street, where the qarantine
boat Governor Flower, with DR.. Doty in
charge, was in waiting. The body was
placed on board and taken TO Swinburne
Island. 1t was there placed in retort
and DR.. Doty himself lighted the firse
which cremated the remains.
As soon as the body had been removed
from the house the apartments of the
Warnings were fumigated and disinfected.
The father, mother, brother and three
sisters Of Mrs. Warning died of yellow fe-
Yer in New Orleans, some years ago.
Colonel Waring was a native of New
York state and much Of his earlier life
was spent in the study and practice Of
scientific agriculture.
He was for some time in charge Of Hor-
ace Greeley's farm at Chappaqua, n. Y.
In 1857 he was appointed agricultural
and drainage engineer of Central aPrk,
this city.
He entered the army in 1852 as a major
in the Garibaldi reserves, but was trans
ferred to the army of the Southwest,
where he helped consolidate the Fremont
and Benton reserves into the Fourth Ms
souri, cavalry, of which he became colo
mel.
During the yellow fever epidemic in 1878
in Memphis, Colonel Waring devised the
system of sewerage IN vogue there now,
which has since been adopted in many
other American and European cities.
Colonel Waring was appointed the COM
missioner Of the bureau of street cleaning
in this city by Mayor Strong and made
a highly creditable record for efficiency.
