New Yoek, Sept 8. To-day's news from the cholera infected ships in the Lower Bay was discouraging, for Dr. Jenkins' report showed that 11 new cases of the scourge had appeared on the Nor mannia and the Bugia and on Hoffman Island, while four of the patients at Swin bnrne Island had died since "Wednesday's report was made. As has been the case for the last three days, all of the new patients on the Nor mannla were from the crew and the cabin passengers have, up to the present, escaped infection. The first vessel visited was the Nor mannia, where six new cases, all among the crew, were found. They were Franz Abredt, aged 24; Adolph Meier, 25; Gotleib Daumiston, 36; Gnstav Neumann, 25; Alexander D'Audile, 24, and Carl Grumich, 21. They were all removed to the hospital on Swinburne Island. The first cabin pas sengers were found all well, but very despairing at being kept on board the cholera ship. On the Kocla and the Moravia. From the Xormannia a trip was made to the Bugia, and it was found that she had three new cases developed on board daring the day. Gustav "Wellsbopper, aged only 1 year; Johann Podratka, 44 years, and Fel ona Konesehin, 30 years, were the victims, and all were in the steerace. They were taken ashon to the hospitals. Eight other members of their families who had been exposed to the contagion, were also removed to the island and placed in an isolated building for observation. The Moravia was found for the fourth time to be absolutely free from any cases, and the doctor is now confident that the cholera has been successfully stamped ont on board that ship. If things continue to be as they have been during the last three days on board the Moravia her passengers may saiely start to count the days to the time of their release. From the Moravia the tug was steered to Hoffman Island, and it was here found that Karl Bhennig, 38 years'old, one of the Nor mannia's steerage passengers, had been taken sick. He was removed to Swinburne Island, where it was found that Elfrida Bchultz, 8 years old, who had been admitted to the hospital the previous day, had died. She was one of the steerage passengers on board the Bugia, and her death occurred too late for the previous day's report. Some of Those on the Death List. Henry Frankel, one of the crew of the Normannia, had been sick less than 24 hours, Jacob Kessler, aged 33, a Norman nia steerage passenger, who had been taken ill on board and removed from Hoffman Island on the 4th, was dead. Christine Hansen, 10 years old, one of the Bugia's steerage passengers, completed the list of deaths. She was sick less than two'davs. Although to-day's cholera victims have been ill from two to four days and thn date of their admission to Swinburne Island is given in Dr. JenkinB' report, their names do not tally with any of those already pub lished as the names of patients sent to Swinburne Island. Dr. Jenkins said to-day that the reports he has received are very incomplete, and he does not even know bow many patients are under the care of Drs. Byron and Abbott at Swinburne Island. It was given out semi-officially at Quar antine to-night that there are about 70 per sons now under treatment on the island or held as suspects. The "avy Department lakes Chaise. The Navy Department will assume charge of the quarantine patrol in a day or two and will place an officer from the Brooklyn Navy Yard in command of thp patrol ves sels. The old monitor Nantucket will be used as a flagship and a plaee of rendezvous for the patrol boats. The Spree will tret her discharge early this morning. The'Dubbeldam and Obdam, from Botterdam, got in within an hour of each other a little after dark. Their'cap tains reported all well aboard. The Scandia from Hamburg did "not arrive. The health authorities expect to find cholera aboard of her. The Board qf Health issued the follow ing bulletin at 4 o'clock "No cases of cholera have appeared in this city." Adelaide Merres, the nurse who had been reported ill, is much better. After an in spection of the crematories, which were in lull blast ready for the bodies of the cholera victims, who are burned at night without toll of bell or prayer read over them, the inspecting party returned to the Upper Bay. It was after 6 o'clock when the wharf was reached, and Swinburne Island had an addition to its number of in habitants, as James O'Bourke, a telegraph operator, whose lather was at one time Su perintendent of the Swinburne Island Hos pital, had remained behind in charge of the The Upper Bay Ivooki Deserted. The Upper Bay looks far more empty than it has for a long time. The French line steamer La Bourgogne started up to New York at 1:40 p. at, having put in her full five days of quarantine. The City of New York followed her at 3:20, but before starting Mrs. Foster and her daughter, together with Mr. Depew, were transferred to the revenue cruiser Grant,' on board of which Secretary Foster was waiting to welcome his wife. The Elbe left at the same time, both the latter ships having been more bulky than the French steamer, and got off with only one day's quarantine, instead of five. Not only are new cases breakincr ont every day among the steerage passengers of the ill-fated Normannla and Buzia. the former of whom sre on Hoffman Island, but it has now settled well among the crew of the big express steamer, who are on board. If anything can -be added to the horror of the situation, it is the fact that the cabin passengers, who have been free from any sign of the disease, are still kept like rats in a trap, enclosed within the sides ot the steamer, with cholera raging alongside them. ll7- Al. . 1-1 , 1 I .uuiuip hi pu tuciuuu, uopiaoe wners i i can xana mem,- asyi me neaitn umcer, while the agents, whose place it is to see the passengers cared for, say nothing Ilopes for Belief Disappointed. Dr. Jenkins has made strenuous exertions to obtain a place to put the well passengers, but up to the present he has been un successful. To-day he thought that he had everything arranged. On his return from the Lower Bav, where he had been with ex Surgeon General Hamilton to visit the site of the proposed encampment, Dr. Jenkins an nounced to the reporters that all arrange ments bad been made. Everything appeared to be plain sailing, but a gentleman whoso friends were on the steamer had shown the correspondent of the Associated Press a telegram to Austin Corbin from Secre tary Tracy, of the Navy, stating that the use of Sandy Hook had been refused. On seeing Dr. Jenkins shortly after he had gone to his offios and had opened his correspondence, he asked him if it was true, and after slight hesitation, Dr. Jenkins handed him the following telegram, dated New York: Dr. Jenkins I am exceedingly sorry to get a dlspatoh from the War Department saying thay had refused to the Secretary of the Treasury tho use of Sandy Hook for the cabin passengers. Of course, this Moors any attempt on our part to ereot barracks there. I had the ttmrjer and it was being loaaed ana it would have Deen at Sandy Hook this evening. A large force is enjnirea, in cluding all from the Lonff Island Hallway, and It is quite too bad that we cannot Drlng relief In the form proposed. I am sure, however, that the energy and good Judg ment displayed fcy you from the beginning until now, will relieve the very uncomforta ble, If not perilous condition of the eood people. AuBTnrCoBBnr. Ho Would Annex Tire Island. Jenkins said he had asked Governor Flower to annex Fire Island, which was private property, and let him put the cabin passengers ashore at once; and he thought ft might be possible to do so and have ad appraisement of its value made later. He had received a reply from Governor Flower with reference to his telegram asking for a vessel to put the cabin passengers in. The Governor had replied that he was to rent, if possible, and to purchase, if necessary, and he thought that things would be straight ened out. It was reported at the Maritime Exchange that cholera had appeared in Mexico. A cablegram from vera Crux was received statiDg that four officers and two sailors of the British steamship May were at that port sick aboard the vessel The steamer had put into Vera Cruz in distress. Captain Smith, her commander, being seri ously handicapped in his work by the ill ness of his officers. Tbe last previous re port the Maritime Exchange had of the May was that she sailed from Mobile early last month from a Mexican port The May is a tramp steamer, and is owned in London. It C Kerins, the Missouri member of tbe National Republican Committee, who was said by some reports to have gone on board the Normannla to see his wife, re ported to be on board, and permitted to leave the vessel again, to-day denied the truth of the report. He said: "I don't know where this report originated, but I hope to be able to run down the originator. The fact is, I have not been within 1,000 miles of New York harbor, until I started to come here to ar range last night, for three or four weeks. My wife has never been on board the Nor-i mannia, nor have any of my relatives been in Europe this year." A NORMANNLA PLAINT, The Clerical Writer Thinks Ills Treatment I Barbarous Be Wouldn't Object tQ Ilatlunal Quarantine, but Doesn't Want to B Cooped Up With Cholera. New Yoek, Sept, a The following let ter, written on the Normannia September 7, was received in this city at the office of the Evangelift from Bev. Daniel W. Fisher, D. D., L.L.D., President of Hanover College, Indiana: On behalf of the cabin passengers of this ill-fated ship, I appeal to you for help. Wo are perfectly willing to be quarantined, but In the name of humanity and civilization, not to speak of Christianity, let the quaran tine bo at least rational, and not barbarous. Wo have not been sick In tbe cabin, except In ona case, which seems to have had al most no cnolerulo symptoms, and that oc curred ten days apo Wo have succeeded In getting the steerage away. But the crew cannot bo removed. Tho ship must have them aboard. Ono after another they sicken. Under these circumstances we scarcely dire to hope that ultimately we shall eicaoe. At nnv rate, when can such a quarantine end? Think of children, feeble persons, anv set of men, even criminal', left to wear out the danger of clioleni In this fashlonl The Mbolo system is, "Anchor the ship ont as far at sea as rouble ana let tho ()iseive do what it can."

Why are we unworthy of help, situated as we aret aureiy not uecause neip is impossiDie. iut us on another vessel. Land us at some safe point on shore and seclude us to any ex tent; but, for God's sake, do not perpetuate this barbarous system on us here lor a day longer. Try to help at once. Tours very truly, D.

Some of us have his written statement that the ship had sailed from Hamburg without steerage. ONE CONSUL FIRED. Kellogr, at Stettin, Gets His Wallclnc Papers for Neglect or Dpty. "Washington, Sept. 8. The Secretary of State to-day ordered the suspension from duty of James C Kellogg, United States Consul at Stettin, and assigned tbe Vice Consul to the duties of the office. This ac tion, it is said at the department, grows out of the complaint of the health officers at New York August 9, that the Consul was absent from his post and that the inspec tion of vessels from that port was very lax. Consul General Edwards, of Berlin, was directed to proceed to Stettin and make a personal investigation, and a 'report was called for from the Consul. These reports were received to-day, with the result as an nounced. ANOTHER INFECTED PORT. Official Mews That a Case of Cholera Exists In Botterdam.

THE MADE THO RIGHT, The Mayor of Chicago, Driren by the Press to Assert His Authority, "WRITES A 8TK0N-G LETTER. fle Says That He Will Co-Operate With Chief llcCIauglirey IN SUPPRESSING GARFIELD PARK. Mr. WasMmrne's Farty Organs Get After Him With a Sharp Stick, DE IMMEDIATELY CHANGES HIS BASE tSrECUX. TELIQBJLM TO TUB DISrATCB.1 Chicago, Sept a After Mayor Hemp stead "Washburne had read the morning papers to-day he wished that he was dead. The Herald scored him in the most unmerolful terms, declaring that he was the tool of the Gar field Park gamblers, and intimating that his resignation, and not Chief McClaugh rey's, was wanted. He was further charged with being in collusion with the gamblers and in sympathy with their movements. Then, too, the Bepubllcan organs, tho Tribune and infer Ocean jumbed vigorously upon him. The Tribune asserted that his action would cost the Bepublicans the city, and demanded that he, as chief executive of the city, co-operate Vith his chief in ridding the city ot the" pestiferous 'Garfield gang, or forever lose the respect of all honest men. The little Mayor smoked a box of cigar ettes on the train which carried him from Highland Park to the city. His brow was clouded, his mind was troubled. The Mayor was distressed over the exposure re garding his dear lriend, Harry Wilkinson. He knew from the tone ot the editorials in the morning papers that his numerous es capades were known, and that if the worst came to the worst he had little to fear from any revelations the Garfield syndicate might maker He was both ashamed and humbled. The Wojor's Slate Knocked Si'Ir. "When the Bepubllcan County Convention met yesterday It knocked his carefully pre pared slate galley west. The Wilkinson exposure had disgusted the machine, and it had thrown the little Mayor and his ticket overboard. Yesterday he remained in bid ing. It was expected that when he went to his office this morning he would start in the day's proceedings by demanding the resig nation of his fighting chief. But be did nothing -of the sort. To tell the fruth, he was so frightened that he, scarcely knew whether he stood on his feet or his head. He called a council of war, and soon his political conferees were outlining a plan of action. Outside in the corridors an anxious crowd awaited the result of the conference." ''He'll fire the Chief," said a low-browed tough. "Den we'll have a new chief. "Dat's all right, and de races will go on. See?" The conference lasted a long while. The Mayor did not send lor the Chief, and the Chief was not in the least concerned as to the issue. Alter the conference was over Mayor Washburne sent a letter to Chief Mo Claughrey. The Superintendent read it, smiled, and said: "The Mayor sustains me in my action." A Thunderbolt From a Clear Sky, The letter, which fell as a thnnderbolt out of a clear sky in the Garfield camp, was as follows: Mayor's Optics, BeptemberB, 1892. Major B. W. McClaqgnrey. Superintendent of PoUce, City: Dear Sir So much has Deen said by way ot rumor, which has been spread abroad in tbe pubHa press, as to alleged dilTeiences between tbe Superintendent of Police and the Mayor in the matter of tbe policy of tlio administration In suppressing the gambling nt Garfield Park, and these tumors have been so beized upon, exaggerated and en couraged, not only by unfriendly critics of the 'administration, but by those who are interested in defeating tho attacks upon the gambling evil all of which is likely to embarrass our efforts to suppress tue evil ana the worse of your de partment to that end that I desire to say that 1 am In hearty sympathy with and ap prove the efforts to suppress the evil and the work of your department In snch sup pression, and I desire it to be understood and I am sure you dothat the fact is that there Is no diffeienco between-us on that soore, and every effort which yon have maae, and every proper effort which you will make, will meet with my hearty ap proval. I No Time for Misunderstandings. If there have been or are any misunder standings between us, It Is certainly not upon the question whether this Rambling evil should be suppressed, and It la not the time when we stand face to face with tbe present emergency, even by our silence, to permit tbe impression to prevail that differ ences exist which embarrass efforts being made to enforce the law. The public can rely on my entire approval and co-operation in the vigorous enforcement of the law against tho gambling at Garfield Park and elsewhere, and a dif ference of recollection between us as to tbe details of a conversation occurring some weeks ago has no place In our common Solloy and efforts against one set or gam lers at Garfield Paik, by tbe alleged inter ference of another set at Hawthorne Park, whiob Is beyond tbe city limits. Such al leged interference has never either inspired or influenced our action in carrying out the law Within tbe city. If any differences or misunderstandings between us have arisen, or shall arise, they will be settled between us in their own connection. There are cer tainly none in this emergency, and the pub lic may rest assured that the use of every, means which the law baa given us to sup press the evil In question meets my hearty approval. Very trulvyouis, Hempstead Washburue, Mayor, The Death-Knell of Gurflsld Park. This letter sounds like the death-knell of Garfield Park. It is not at all likely that racing will be allowed again. It also knocks in the head the story that tbe Mayor wouia oouncems .superintendent ot police, Mr. Washburne would like to fire the Chief, but he knows the public sympathy is en tirely with the police. It must have cost him a terrible struggle to write that letter. It may prove his salvation, though, and free him from the bonds that bind him to the Garield Park crowd. It shows that tbe Mayor is no longer under the shadow of the imputation that he is in the power of the Garfield Park gamblers. He has brokon away and dared the consequences. It there was any secret cause for disagree ment between the Mayor and his Chief of Police, it seems for the present to have been healed. The differences between the Mayor and his chief, as intimated in his letter, are not at an end. The chief contra dicted his snperior officer on the witness stand. The lie was passed. That affair yet remains to be settled. It is believed in the City Hall that the two will work together until Garfield's gates are closed for good, and then the question of veracity between the two will be settled. Cause or the First Friction. The first friction between the Mayor and Chief began last year, just after the Hayor had returned from his vacation at Mackinac. There he met Wilkinson, and the two be came fast friends. When he returned be was not an enthusiast on tbe suppression of gambling. Next he proposed to make Wilkinson Chief of Detectives. Wilkinson was and is an intimate of the sporting fraternity. The Chief knew Wilkinson's record and rejected his nomination. Ever fter that the friendship between tbe Mayor and Wilkinson continued, muoh to Wash borne'i present discomfiture. Then In DISPATCH, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER- i &. 1892. spector Marsh was bounced, but Wilkinson could not break into the police department. After that City Prosecutor Douglas, who' was making war-on' Garfield, came under the official displeasure and was forced to re. sign. Next "Hemp" began to make it hot for MoClaughrey. The gamblers and their agents laid traps. They tried to get McClaughrey's son into a place and poiition where they could hold the fait over his head as aclnb, and through his threatened disgrace,.. Influenced his father. This plot failed. Next came tho independent action of the oblef in making the raids, and last of all came the killing of Colonel Brown and two policemen. Choice Hade by tha tittle Mayor. The Mayor was compelled to cast his lot either with the people or with the gamblers, Be chose the former. "I am surprised," said Al Hankins, when shown the Mayor's letter, "for we know that a different state of affairs exist I think the statement was given out ,for a purpose, and there is no doubt pressure was brought to bear on Mr, Washburne. As for closing -Garfield Park, I am not prepared to say what he will da We have decided upon no plan, and it will depend largely upon the court cases. We are fighting squarely, and not murderously, and are keeping entirely within the law. It all can not do that, we will close." George Hankini, the millionaire, head and front of the Garfield Park syndicate, did not know what to make of the letter. He is confident that the Council next Mon day night will pass the power of ordinance over the Mayor's veto, and despite the 'fact that ten days must elapse before it becomes an active law, the club, on the strength of tbe passage, might secure an injunction re straining the polioe from interfering. By that time, he says, he expects to get a new chief of police in the place of Major Mo Claughrey. Mo llaclnc at Least Until Monday, "You can say positively that there will be no racing at our track until Monday." It is extremely doubtful, though, that the Council will undertake such a hazard ous task. If the gamblers fail in their scheme to boodle, the counoils, then indeed the days of the track will be numbered. Garfield is already' considered as a dead cock in the pit But for the newspapers, Washburne would not have written .that letter, and the gamders would have stood some show of winning. Billy Wightman, Treasurer of the Gar field Club, declares that Washburne's letter is a piece of political buncombe. "The Mayor," he said, "was foiled by the Be publicans yesterdav because of His differ ences with Major McClaughrey and he had to do something to square himself, and to my thinking the chief has a pinch on the Mayor some way and he compelled him to write the letter to make things look all right to the public.- But will 'the people swallow the buncombe? The Legislature will have to change the law before we will give in." HUGH ROSS IN fOUNGSTOWN. He Snys Be Is Cominir Back to Face His Prosecutor' Charges, Youngstowit, O., Sept 8. Sptctal Hugh Boss, of the Advisory Board at Home stead, was here this afternoon in consulta tion with an attorney of the Amalgamated Association, W. S.

TICTIM OF THE WIRE. John Hochwinden Is Shocked fcy an Electric Current and FALLS TO THE PAYMENT BELOW. Bis tftll CrnsTied in and His Brains ire Exposed to View. TIIEEE DEEP BURNS ON HIS LEFT ITAXD This morning at 12:45 o'clock, while Offi cer Rowley was making his rounds he' found John Hoehwinden lying dead ot the foot of an eleetrio light pole at Fifth 'avenue and Stevenson street The officer at once gave an alarm and patrol No. 2 responded. The body was taken to the morgue and the Coroner notified. There was no one with Hochwinden at the time, and how he came to his death can only be surmised. He was an eleotrio light inspector in the employ of the Allegheny Electric Light Company. When v taken to the morgue it was found that there were three deep burns on his left hand, showing plainly the im prints of where it had come in contact with the wires charged with the current that must have caused his death. Had the current not proved fatal, the in juries be received in his fall would most certainly have done so. He had fallen head foremost on the pavement, and his head was crashed in on the top, destroying all semblance to human form. No explanation of the accident can be given except that while engaged at work on the top ol an electric light pole he had ac cidentally come in contact with the wires, receiving a shock that, if not producing in stant death, caused him to lose his balance and fall to the pavement Hochwinden was about SO years old and boarded at 95 Seventh avenue. He had been employed by the eleetrio company for sometime and was spoken of in commend able terms by all who knew him. He was single and is supposed to have had no rela tives in the city.
