TELEGXXM TO THK BISPATCH.1 New York, Sept 15. Mary Conerty was removed this afternoon by the BoaH of Health from 692 Second avenue as a cholera patient She is 19 years old, and a native of Ireland. She says she has been in this country six months. The girl was employed in the boarding house of Mrs. Maria J. Finn, at 221 East Thirty-first street Mrs. Finn hired her sir weeks ago as a dishwasher. The girl lad been making her home with the Lyons amily in their flat on the fourth floor of the ive-storv brick house at 692 Second avenue before she went to work for Mrs. Finn. The Lyons family were her only friends so far as Mrs. Finn knew. On "Wednesday evening the girl told Mrs. Finn that she was going to spend the even ing with the Lyons family. She returned about 9 o'clock and went to bed. She did not cnmpiain of feehnih ill then. Earlv this -morning she was awakened by cramps in the stomach. She tossed about in bed for some time. She TVnnted to Be With Friends. Then the arose, dressed and went around to the Lyons house, which is only a lew blocks away. She said if she were to be sick she wanted to be with friends. Soon after arriving at the Lyons flat she was attacked with fits of vomiting. Dr. C. J. Kane found her suffering with all the symptoms of cholera, including the typical rice water discharges. He examined her hastily and then sent word to the health authorities. Dr. Dillingham, who went up to see the patient, agreed with Dr. Kane, and diag nosed the case as cholera. One of the health department's ambulances arrived shortly alter 5 o'clock. Police were de tailed to guard the entrance to the house and prevent people from collecting about it The arrival of the ambulance with its yel low painted body caused considerable ex citement A large crowd gathered on the opposite side of the street, while the win dows of the tenement houses facing the avenue had as many heads thrust out as they could accommodate. The only windows which were closed were those opening into the apartments of the Lyons family. The Physicians Defensive Armor, Dr. Dillingham and his assistants wore complete rubber suits and gloves. They carried disinfectants with them. It was fully half an hour before Dr. Dillingham appeared again. His assistant came down ahead of him, put his head out of the door and gae the policeman hurried direction? to keep the people back. A moment later Dr. Dillingham stepped out, supporting the 6ick girl by her left arm. She was able to walk, but that was about all. Her face was ghastly. Dr. Dillingham's assistant brought out a big bundle ot beddiug and clothing. This was placed in the ambulance with the patient and the wagon started for the re ception hospital at the foot of East Six teenth street. An attendant was sent to the boarding house in East Thirty-first street to seize all the girl's clothing and the bedding in her room. This material was removed and the house was disinfected. Later Detective Frazer got all the informa tion he could about the girl. HofuMHl to Giie Her Boarders' Xames. Mrs. Finn told him she had nine boarders and that they were all "professional people." She did not want to give the names. She said the Conerty girl visited nobody except the Lyons family, and no persons naa ever visited her at the house. Mrs. Finn also declared that she had no one in her house who has been recently from abroad. The Lyons family deny that they had harbored any recent arrival in their house, or received any as callers. The tenement has been thoroughly disinfected, and an in spector is on duf. There are seven other families in the ho jse. A clothing store and a milk store occupy the ground floor. Bus iness was not interrupted in either place. Tnere were no developments to cause the least anxiety to-day at the tenement where the child Minnie Levinger died, 411 East Forty-sixth street There mn toms of sickness among the tenants. " The quarantine on the. house has been made more stringent, and no visitors were allowed to enter lor any purpose. Hoarder at liberty to Como and Go. The Levinger family were confine , their rooms, but the other tenants were at ONE NEW C liberty to keep bouse as they desired. All the children have been prohibited from at tending school until the Health Board otherwise orders, A policeman of the sani tary squard was on guard, and all food for the tenants is supplied by the Board of Health, and passes through the doctor's hands to the tenants. The rooms occupied by the Levinger family are being disin fected twice daily. There is no excitement, either in the neighborhood or in the tenement itself, over cholera. The tenants positively refuse to believe that the child died of cholera. A few morbid persons come and stare at the house from the middle of the street, but the residents of the neighborhood seem to care little or nothing. Early in the morning the health depart ment sent a fresh supply of disinfectants to 879 Tenth avenue, where Charles McAvoy died, and the doctor in charge thoroughly rX 0L ' 1 S-) 'ol VijO TV r v r yLx "" rBferiis-r-i r-4- k r.

Department phvsicians were also in charge of 7G8 Eleventh avenue, where the Wiedmans died. They reported that there was every reason to believe that the dis ease would spread no further. Hueo Beck, whose wife, Charlotte, died Tuesday, presumably of Asiatic cholera, is now quarantined at the home of his brother in East Eighty-fifth street The house at 1863 Second avenue, where Mrs. Beck died, is also under strict surveillance. Beck himself was attacked last Fri day with cramps, which extended to his legs. He is a sturdy young German, and recovered so that he was able to resume work Monday. The Beard of Health has not yet decided whether Mrs. Beck's death was due to Asiatic cholera. Dr. Eoberts, Chief of the Bureau of Contagious Diseases, does not think Beck ran any risk of spread ing the infection by going around. There was nothing new at the house where Callaghan died, 318 West Forty seventh street Mrs. McCullom, Callag han's sister,and her family were not allowed to leave their rooms. The other tenants were free to go and come, but no visitors were allowed in the house. Precautions as to disinfecting and the supply of food are being taken, as at the Levinger tenement There has been no sickness in the house since Callaghan died last Saturday. QUIET AT QUARANTINE. Some Cases of Sickness on tho Scandla and tltc Wj oiniug, but Not From Cholera Aunitimr the Arrival of the Hamburg Steamer Bohemia. New. York, Sept. J5. Special The arrival of the Hamburg-American immi grant fjeaiuhip Bohemia, jvhichelHam; buIg"September 2 with 682 steerage passen gers' and eight cabin passengers on board, overshadowed all other matters of interest at Quarantine to-day. The first news of the Bohemia was brought by the swifter Trave, which passed the Hamburg ship at 8 o'clock Wednesday morning bound in. The Trave reported a signal "all well" from the Ham burger. It was expected, from a calculation of the relative speed of the two boats, that the Bohemia would get to Quarantine before midnight, but she has not yet been re ported. The first reports which came up to Quarantine from the Lower Bay to-day brought the news of several new cases of sickness aboard the Scandia and another aboard the Wyoming, but Dr. Walser'a in snection, made late in the afternoon, proved that not one of these was a true case of cholera. This morning the Bugia's 98 cabin passengers were transferred, with 30 of the crew, to the New Hampshire. They will be transferred Saturday to Fire Island, when the Surf Hotel will be clear ot the Normanma's passengers. Dr. Jenkins said to-night that the Nbr man nia's cabin passengers would be sent up to-morrow morning on the Cepheus to the Hamburg-American pier in Hoboken. Their baggage is already aboard the Cepheus. Dr. Jenkins had not decided when the Mora via's passengers will be taken from the ship, and he had made no preparation vf or the removal ot the Bohemia's passengers. They must wait, he said, until the people of the other vessels are cared for. To-morrow morning 553 of the Norman nia's steerage passengers will be transferred from Hoffman Island to Camp Low, at Sandy Hook. The Bugia's steerage passen gers will probably be removed there too. The Moravia will be held until there is no ques tion as to her condition, and the Wvnming until the bacteriological examinations are finished. Dr. WaUer made this report to Dr. Jenkins at 5 o'clock to-night: Steamship Moravia All well on board. All tho woodwork on the vessel washed with bi-chloride. Passengers bathed in hot water. AU the clotbinz washed and rinsed It ui-cliloridb, and wherever practicable steamed at hish temperature Steamship Hugia All passengers taken to tho New Hampshire this atternoon, together with 30 of crew.

New Haves-, Sept 15. The city is in a flurry of excitement over what seems to be a case ofcholerx Shortly be'fore 7 o'clock this morning John Henry, a janitor of the Sheldon avenue school, found an Italian wreathing in terrible agony in a field on the outskirts of the city. The police at" once were notified and the hospital ambu lance called. When the vehicle arrived the Italian was exhibiting all the symptoms of the disease. He was taken immediately to the hospital and isolated from the other patients. The Italian has proved to be Romero Kooney and is a farm laborer. This after noon his brother Xatalie, living with him, was stricken with the same symptoms. He was also taken to the hospital and isolated. That part of the city in which the street is located is on low marshy ground, and is one of the most unhealthy sections of the city. The health and hospital authorities main tain a rigid silence. A later dispatcji says: At the hospital to night it was stated thauae men were not suffering lrom cholera. The hospital au- ltbnrities seem to be inclined to reticence, but it is thought the Italians suffer from a combination ot acute mania and colic. NO CAUSE FOR FEAR. Now York Health Authorities Fubllsh a tetter to the People, Showing "What Is Being iono for tho Public Safety Typhus "Was Stamped Out. New York, Sept. 15.

The proclamation further declares that re ception hospitals have been prepared, with doctors and nurses, all equipped and ready to receive and isolate each case as it is' discovered; that physicians are closely watching the thickly populated tenement districts; that Federal and State authorities have established quarantine stations for those coming from abroad; that the Chamber ot Commerce is taking active measures to lend assistance; that no energy or needed expenditure will be wantintr, and that ex cessive fear on the part of the public is not justified. The Mayor calls for confidence in all these provisions to care for the publio weal. The record of the past in scamping out typhus and other infectious diseases, the proclamation reads, should justify faith in the ability of the Health Department to check cholera. Cholera, it savs, is neither infectious or contagious within the common meaning of the words, nor is it, in the language of the eminent authorities, as dangerous as diseases that are constantly in our midst The public will be intelligently advised as to the progress of the disease. The paper closes: Rest assured that all will be done by the authorities to meet every emergency, and, with the confidence of the publio and their aid in enforcing sanitary regulation, the cholera will be mastered, health restored, and peace, good order and happiness main tained.

LAUREL LEAVES WITHER All In the Address of General Boynton, Who at Chat tanooga, Defends the AEMY OF THE CUMBERLAND Accepted Histories of the War Ruth lessly Overturned.' Honors Wrongly Wrested From the Gansrals of tho Great Central Army, Restored Buell the Real Hero of ShUoh Thomas tho Only Commander Who Never Failed In a Single Move ment Almost Equal Credit Belongs to Rosecrans Strong Assertions Backed TJp by a Statement of Facts. Chattanooga, Sept 15. General H.V. Boynton delivered the annual oration be fore the Society of the Army of the Cum berland to-night General Boynton reviewed the achieve ments of the Army of the Cumberland, and in so doing sought to correct tome of the errors of history in the memoirs of Grant and Sherman by the light of official records only recently made accessible. In do ing so he claimed for Buell the credit of saving' Grant from the disgrace of a surprise at Shiloh; for Bosecrans, a victory at Chickamauga, and for Thomas, the success at Missionary Bidge. Grant's and Sherman's memoirs, n herein alleged misrepresentations concern ing the Army of the Cumberland were given currency, were caustically reviewed. The address would fill more than a page of the ordinary newspaper. Its opening paragraphs, which give a digest of the whole, follow: Still Doys in Spirit. "A generation has passed since we stood here, shoulder to shoulder, doing battle for that Union and nationality which have come, and come to stay forever. It is difficult to recognize the boys ofj '61 in the silver hairs and chanced forms and features which the afternoon ot life for all of us, and its very evening for many, have stamped upon these survivors of 1892: but, in spite of these, our hearts and hands and greetings are stilljtbose of the very hey-day of youth are as strong, as earnest, and as true as when we were the boys in Blue of 30 years ago. Aged men of th'e Army of the Cum berland heroes of the Army of the Cum berland I salute you, one and all. "The Military Committees of both Houses of Concress, by unanimous vote and formal report, have declared that upon this ground 'occurred some of the most remarkable tac tical movements and the deadliest fighting of the war of the rebellion'; and Congress itself, with the same unanimity, has in the not establishing, the National Military Park, declared these to fields of 'some of the most remarkable1 maneuvers? and most brilliant fizhting in the war of the Re bellion.' Thus pass the clouds of mis representation and misinformation from Chickamauga, as the nation proclaims it to have presented the best illustration of American fighting. Tho Army Will Get Its Dues. "What has happened in regard to Chicka maugua is true ot the whole history of the Array of the Cumberland. You have often seen Lookout veiled with clouds, which, under the quickening breeze, even as you looked, were swept from its face, revealing the strength and beauty and enduring foundations of that mountain monarch. So truth has blown strongly over the history of the Army of the Cumberland, and the grand proportions of its record began to stand out before all men like a mountain range above the fields of our military historv: and soon. 'if we do our full duty, in clear air it will abide in its strength in the sight of all the people, a crowned monarch on an everlast ing throne. "Through long years of controversy the Army of the Cumberland is coming to its own. It is doubtful whether in military history there can be found another army with its notably great and successful record which contemporary writers of military history I should rather say of military fiction have so "per sistently misrepresented. It is not neces sary to inquire into their luotives or to as perse them. The fact remains that the Army of the Cumberland, after winning its victories in the field, has had to fight ever since to save the true record of them for history. Myths Must March to Oblivion. "And it is only of recent years, when the full official record has become accessible, and as the further results of many prolonged and bitter controversies, that the myths of this distorted history are taking up their march into oblivion. "The same is true of its leading com manders Buell, Bosecrans and Thomas. I am sure that in the minds of the Army of the Cumberland men General Buell now standi the accredited organizer of that mighty weapon with which his successors smote. Those who came after him strengthened it and bettered It, but the first shaping and the forging were his. His troubles were inseparable from the early political period of the war. If there had been no political eclipse ot the army about Washington, there would hare been no corresponding penumbra visible at the West And this shadow at the Wert was all snspioions. The suggestion of the Cumberland Blver campaign; theunsonght, or at least unacknowledged assistance which saved Douelson, and the glory of Shiloh, are his. "For the rest, what General Thomas saw when he twice protested against superceding General Buell, upon the ground of its in justice, is now clear to us all. General Buell'i name and fame are steadily erowintr brighter as the years cast the light of the record over his way. Tribute to General Kosecraus. "And what, in tie presence of onr hon ored and beloved president, General Bose crans. shall I say of the light which the record has thrown over his pathway, to the confusion of many writers, both of high and of low degree? What need be said further than to name Bieh Mountain, .Carnifax Ferry, Iuka, Cor inth and Stone Biver, the unparalleled strategy of the Tullahoma and Chickamauga Tampaijps, and the final capture of this mountain stronghold of Chattanoga? As, in the case ot General Buell, we now know that General Thomas vehemently protested against the proposition to remove Gen eral Bosecrans, even going so far as to privately threaten tor resign if it rwerc nnaliv oraerea, a aeclsion 'irom which he was with difficulty persuaded. When General Garfield started for Wash ington, a few days before this removal, General Thomas, in parting with him, said: 'Garfield, you know the whole of this mat ter and the wrong that is being done Bose crans. Make it your first business to set him right with those people in Washing ton.' "Mortifying- to relate, this commission was not executed, and as the direct result, the clouds settled thick and chill about him, and the man who wlllj. without doubt, stand pre-eminent as the eiost brilliant strategist of the war, and who, by his last campaign and the capture of d i Chattanooga, had as effectually divided the Confederacy as had Grant and Porter by opening the Mississippi, as obliged to sit down in slialow and wait on the slow methods of history for his vindication. But, in the evening of his life, with his faculties to enjoy it unabated, it has come, and it will abide for him forever. The Fame of General Thomas. "Next we come to a name that excites universal acclaim from every fair-minded student or writer of our military history wherever its wide and still spreading fame has reached. "George H. Thomas is rapidly coming to his ow"h. His stature in history is rounding out to the full dimensions which we know to have been his. Of him, and of him alone, amoug all " onr great and honored captains, can it be truthfully said that he never lost a movement or a battle. Mill Spring was the first Union victory of the three years' cam paign, and it was complete. We know how the center held and what it did at "Stone river. The world knows the significance of his title, 'The Bock of Chickamauga.' Every successful feature of the three days' battles about Chattanooga was his and not another's. Every modification ot the plan of battle was hisj and every portion of the plan which succeeded was modified. "Hail his advice, baied on full reconnoi sance, been followed of making a feint be fore the gorges at Bocky Face, and sendi ng the armv rapidly through undefended Snake Creek Gap, the decisive battle of the Atlanta campaign would have been fought in the vicinity of Besaca. He protested against Kenesaw, and his hands were clear of the blood of that needless and so wicked slaughter. He was turned back from Atlanta with the small, but valiant Fourth and Twenty-third corps, and the remnants which were cast off when se lected army wai organized for a picnic to the sea, to do battle with these remnants and others which he might gather, against the whole force n hich had confronted the three combined Union armies from Dalton to Atlanta.' A Blow Which Destroyed an Army. "Never was greater though unintentional tribute paid to his ability. The command ers whom he was saving from the sneers of mankind railed at him from Washington to Savannah, but with an imperturbability without parallel under the circumstances, at the risk of removal, and, as we know now, after the order for removal, he pre pared the blow, which, when it fell at Nash ville, utterly destroyed the opposing army and saved the march to the sea from everlasting ridicule. And here it is perti nent to remark that this was the only great Confederate army destroyed in battle, before the final surrender, by any Union com mander. "On the 28th of February, 1864, the month before Grant was made Lieutenant General, and Sherman ordered to Chat tanooga, General Thomas, having thorough ly reconnoitered the position at Dalton, thus offered to undertake au Atlanta cam paign himself: " 1 believe, if I can commence the com paign with the Fourteenth and Fourth corps that I can move along the line of the rail road and overcome all opposition as far, at least, as Atlanta.' Concerned Over the Anderson ville Prisoners "When the armies bad occupiedAtIanta,he was much concerned over the information which reached there in relation to the suf fering condition of our prisioners at Ander sonville, Americus and Millen. He then pro posed to Sherman that with the Army of the Cumberland he might be detached and sent to release those prisoners, and carry them with him, either to the Atlantic, or one of the Gulf ports. I now believe this was the germinal idea that prompted the march to the sea, although, when that march was made, both Thomas and tha prisoners were left behind. "I said that General Thomss was the only conifeander in the war for whom it conld be claimed that he never lost a single move ment, or a battle, of bis own ordering. How nearly this is also true of General Bosecrans, our President, let his record tell Bich Mountain, Carnifax Ferry, Iuka, Corinth, Stone Blver, the wonder ful Tullahoma and Chickamauga campaigns, the capture of Chattanooga everything from the day he entered the field until he left it, except the little which he lost on the second dar of Chickamauea and how little that was oompared with the mis representations of the day, the country has at last discovered. Can the great and hon ored commanders of any other army, just and enduring as is their fame, match these records of Thomas and Bosecrans? The Time for History Has Arrived. "The time has come at last, with the full disclosures of the official records, when false history, which has been long current, can be corrected and true history written. To see that this is done for the Army of the Cumberland, should be a pressing duty with this society pressing, because there ia so much to correct, and because our march to the bivouac above draws rapidly toward ita close. "While we glory in the deeds of every Union army and twine laurel for the brows of all our great commanders, we glory most because our lot was cast with that army which was organized and baptized in battle by General Buell; which reached its fighting manhood under Bosecrans; and which under George H. Thomas stood immovable At the Kelly Farm and on Bnodgrass Hill, stormed the heights of Lookout Mountain and Mis sionary Bidge, and crushed Hood at Nash ville. We now write his name above all names, and when history shall have rendered its final verdict upon the soldiers of the Union, we believe that Thomas will surely lead all the rest on the list of great soldiers and successful generals." IK FAV0E OF THE OHIO CANAL. The National Board of Steam Navigation Knows a Really Good Thing. NEVf Yoek, Sept 15. Special. At the twenty-first annual meeting of the Na tional Board of Steam Navigation, held this week at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, no new action was taken in the matter of the Ohio river improvements. Large delegations from both Cincinnati and Pittsburg at tended the convention, and it was expected they would bring up this subject, especially the proposal for the Government to buy the Monongahela locks and dams. The board, by its action of three years ago, stands com mitted strongly in favor of this project, as well as the improvement of th,e Ohio river between Cincinnati and Pittsburg. The building of a canal from Lake Erie to the Ohio river at Beaver is also urged by the board. The proposed river improve ments are in the hands of r standing com mittee, and are favored by the whole asso ciation. Another Cruel War Is Over. Washington, Sept 15.

Th'e Inter Ocean will to-morrow make an attack on the Philadel phia and Beading coal deal, calling upon the Attorney General of Illinois to bring suit at once under the Illinois statute, both criminally and civilly. The penalty in the civil suit is from 5500 to 2,000"for first offense; $2,000 to $5,000, second offense; 55,000 to 510,000, third offense, and 515,000 for each subsequent offense. The Inter Ocean points out to the Attorney General the location of the nine yards belonging to the Philadelphia and Beading Coal and Iron Company in'Chicago, and also gives the inside organization of the Chicago Anthracite Coal Association, a secret organ ization composed of not only the Philadelphia and Beading Coal and Iron Company, but also what is regarded as the independent companies, the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company, Boyd, Stickney & Co., of New York, representing the Susquehanna Coal Company; tbe Pennsylvania Coal Company; Peabodjr Coal Company, representing the Erie Bailroad Company; Coxe Bros. & Co., of New York, and W.

Inspection Stations on tbe B. & O. and Lake Erie Railroads Already Estab lished at EanMn Station The P. B. B, Will Locate an Inspection Station at aSafe Distance To-Day Cholera Remedies at All Police Stations and on Patrol Wagons Superintendent Baker Receives a Pointed Lecture From Chief Brown on Hi3 Disposi tion to Defend Bather Than Abata Nuisances. Prospects for an effective quarantine against cholera in this State were consider ably dimmed yesterday by a telesram from Dr. Lee, the executive officer of the State Board of Health. At a conference in Mayor Gourley's office yesterday morning it was decided to send the State Board a telegram asking what had been done toward the establishment of inspection stations on the railroads east of this city and request ing that such stations be located by the board. At i o'clock yesterday afternoon Dr. Lee replied as follows: PniLADEtPHIA, Sept. 15. Inspection stations of State Board will be on the boundary line ot the State. Cities must establish their own Btatlons at their boundary lines if needed. Bctjamct Lie. This message from the chief executive of ficer of the State Board was a severe blow to the local officials. Mayor Gourley, Chief Brown, Superintendent O'JIara and Dr. J. Guy McCandless had been in consultation for two hours in the morning, but had adjourned until the afternoon expecting some tangible instructions irom Dr. Lee in answer to their telegram. Another confer ence was held in tbe afternoon, but as no answer came from Dr. Lee the officials decided to go ahead with a local quaran tine, subject to change by order of the State Board. Soon after the afternoon con ference closed Dr. Lee's message was re ceived. Mayor Gourley called the others together at once and submitted it to them. No Hope of Help. All agreed that no hope of assistance from the State was to be expected after that message. It was interpreted to mean that no quarantine against any infected city on this side of the ocean need be ex pected; that the State Board only intends to conduct an inspection of immigrants coming in over the railroads, and that so far as a city quarantine is con cerned, the State Board might as well not exist It was even believed that the effort to quarantine the State against the immi grant class would not be extended further than the city of Philadelphia. In the hope of securing something at least a little more effective another telegram was sent to Dr. Lee notifying him that Pitts burg would expect the State Board to es tablish an infection station on the Balti more and Ohio road at or near Cumberland, Md. The officials had received no reply at a late hour last night, but a telegram to The Dispatch from Philadelphia states that 39 points have been selected at which inspec tors will be stationed in the event of the disease becoming epidemic. At pres ent, however, it is considered that it is necessary to examine trains from the seaboard only, bearing immigrants. The stations for this purpose will be located as follows: Easton, on the Central Bailroad of New Jersey; Morrisyille, on the Penn sylvania Bailroad, opposite Trenton, N. J. Yardley, just above on the Beading Bail road; Waverly, on the Lehigh Valley; State Line, near Cumberland, Md,, on the Balti more and Ohio and State Line,Susquehanns county ot the Erie and Delaware, Lacka wanna anoUWestern roads. Inspectors will be placed at all ot these points within a day or two. It is expected that the authorities on the sea coast will furnish a certificate inspection and disinfection of baggage to each immigrant, without which the latter will not be allowed to enter the State. A careful examination will be made of each individual and the certificate indorsed if the conditions are favorable. Chief Brown Disappointed. Chief Brown expressed disappointment last night that the State Board had not taken a band in assisting the quarantining of cities in the State which are distributing points for immigrants as well as to provide against the disease being carried Into this State from New York or any other point where cholera may break out "I bad expected Dr. Lee would go ahead firmly, funds or no funds. There would b no donbt but the State would stand by him in any proper expense incurred at such a time as this. His telegram to us indicates that he does not intend to do anything in volving expense unless the epidemic rages within onr State borders, when he probably expects the Governor to extend some aid. It is a pity something effectual oould not be done to keep the disease out of the State, but it seems impossible. I am satisfied the only real restrictions here will be those of the quarantine we are arranging with the railroads. But in spite of all we can do I am afraid the scourge will enter our city be fore many days. It behooves the people to exert extraordinary precautions to avoid the disease, both as to their premises and their persons. In this way every inhabitant of! tbe two cities can contribute largely toward minimizing the danger." Will Protect This City. While waiting to hear from Dr. Lee, yes terday, tbe local officials were not idle. Mayor Gourley and Chief Brown called oa the Baltimore and Ohio officials and ar ranged to have all immigrant trains stopped at Bankin station, just beyond the city limits, for caretul inspection. Ail immigrants having this city or Allegheny for their destination will be detained and given an especially rigid inspection. Those going on through to other points will be released as soon as tbe inspection is completed and started on their way. If any cases of sick ness, are found among the immigrants, whether it be cholera or otherwise, 'the Eatients will be taken off and placed In ospital cars, which will be kept on the
