Kew Yosir, Sept. 20. This was the
slowest day with the Health Department
since the first case of cholera was discovered
in the city. The temporary stable at the
foot of Last Sixteenth street is finished. It
provides accommodation for eight or ten
mbulanccs and about a dozen horses. The
nly patients at the Reception Hospital are
nnie Conncrty and Louis Weinkagen,
ho was taken there on Monday evening as
suspected case. His condition was very
lerious.
It is expected that the results of the
(bacteriological examination in the cases of
fames Carr, the canal boat captain, and that
ojf Knox, the stoker who died on Sunday on
ttie steamship S'.ate of Nevada, will be re
ported to the board by Dr. Biggs to
ljuorrow morning. Dr. "Wilson reported
his morning that a Chinaman named Upe
i Toe Wall, had died at 34 Mott street under
suspic'ous circumstances. Dr. Roberts, of
the Bureau of Contagions Diseases, had the
case investigated. The body was removed
to the foot of West Sixteenth street, at 3
o'clock, and the premises were quarantined
and fumigated.
TLe Chinaman died on the first floor of
the building in the rear of a fruit store.
Four other Chinamen, who occupied the
same room, have been forbidden to Have
their apartments. The man had been sick
two days and had been afflicted with a pain
less diarrhoea. Dr. "Wilson had been called
in but a few minutes when he died. The
Chinamen who knew him say he had smoked
opium all the time. The stock in the fruit
store was confiscated.
Tour N'civ Cases at Quarantine.
A Dispatch correspondent at Quaran
tine says four more cases of cholera ap
peared about the Bohemia to-day, and the
patients were removed to Swinburne Island
in the afternoon. The names of the sick
are: Closes Newmanp, IS years old; Pinkus
"Wollman, 18 years old; Moses Miller, 12
years old; Issc Sklar, 2 years old. All the
other patients on Swinburne Island were
reported as doing well and everyone was
reported well on all the ships' in quaran
tine except the Bohemia. The cabin pas
sengers of the Scandia and Bohemia were
removed to the New Hampshire under Dr.
"Walser's supervision.
In the afternoon the Health Board held
on executive meeting which lasted nearly
two hours. All the members were present,
including Dr. Jenkins, who got up from
Quarantine at 3:30 o'clock, accompanied br
Dr. Seward. A resolution was adopted
asking the Superintendents of Dispensaries
to report as soon as possible the names and
addresses of all persons applying for relief
from diarrhecal diseases. Chief Sanitary
Inspector Bullard 6ent a report saying that
in spite of the warning from his depart
ment complaints have been received by the
police that scow trimming is stiil kept up
by Italians on the East river dumps.
The Moravia, the Normannia and the
Helgoland were all ordered up to Upper
Quarantine to-day, bat in the afternoon
small tank steamers loaded oil aboard the
Helgoland, as Dr. Jenkins had recon
sidered his decision to allow her to go up
to he pier. Dr. "Walser's inspection of the
"Wyoming to-day showed that her sanitary
condition wa? not all that it should be and
be ordered the vessel put in better shape.
Dr. Abbott went down from Swinburne
Island tbis P. M. to obtain the body of
.Francisco Moreno, who Dr. Hamilton
announced bad died ot cholera. Dr. Ham
ilton refused to give it up. In his tele
nraphio report to Dr. Jenkins, Dr. Abbott
said Dr. Hamilton refused to have bodies
removed from Camp Low, although lie ad
mits one patient at least had died of cholera.
Dr. Jenkins Is Provoked.
Dr. Jenkins is very much provoked at Dr.
Hamilton's refusal to give up the body.
"Wc were anxious to make a biological
examination of the body in order to deter
mine the cause of death," he said. "Now I
see from the reports sent to the newspapers
from Camp Low that Dr. Hamilton hurried
ly buried the body in quicklime because our
boat did not call for it. The quicklime will
have Buck an efiect on the body that a bio
logical examination would be useless now."
Speaking of the status of Sandy Hook,
Dr. Jenkins said: "I understood when
andy Hook was prepared as a refuge camp
that it was to be under my control, but this
does not appear to be the case now, and the
Government is responsible for the passen
gers now detained there. They are no
longer in my jurisdiction, and when they
s Mm. J tk
"WILL THE NET
are released Dr. Hamilton must assume all
responsibility."
Dr. Jenkins says that it is very possible
that he will send no more immigrants to
Sandy Hook. He proposes to keep them
on Hofiiuun Island while their vessel is
being djsinfected and then send them back
to the ship to be kept there until all danger
of infection is passed.
Dr. Wilson said that none of the immi
grants suspected by him and sent to Sandy
Hook had cholera and Dr. Jenkins said em
phatically that he had more confidence in
Dr. Walser's knowledge of cholera than in
Dr. Hamilton.
Vessels Arrl e "With No Sickness.
Forty-two vessels were expected to-day.
The Tauric from Liverpool and the Bich
mond Hiil from London were not detained
long, as they had no steerage passengers.
The Norwegian from Glasgow with 31 cabin
passengers nrrived and went up. The Her

Bremen, and the Adriatic, with 9,347 in her
steeragp from Liverpool, were both held

The last of the important steamships to
arrive yesterdav was the Anchor line Ethi
opia, over which a great deal of anxiety
had been felt as she was ten days overdue.
The Ethiopia arrived opposite Quarantine
late this afternoon, but no one will be al
lowed to go ashore until the Secretary of
the Treasury orders her releasees she comes

A Gratifying Decrease at Hamburg
Rather Alarming Reports From Paris
Slow Progress in Holland.
The following cable bulletins tell the
story of the plasue's progress at the in
fected spots in Europe:
Havre Six new cases of cholera and
six deaths were reported in this city yester
day. This is a decrease of three cases and
an increase of two deaths compared with
Sunday's figures.
, St. PETERSBUna The cholera returns
of yesterday show that 11 tiew cases were
reported. The deaths numbered 44. Com
pared with Sunday's returns yesterday's
figures show a decrease of one in the num
ber of cases and an increase of 12 in the
number of deaths.
Hamburg The cholera statistics con
tinue to show a gratifying decrease in both
the number of new cases and deaths. Yes
terday there were 141 new cases and C7
deaths reported. This is 28 cases and 15
deaths less than were reported Sunday,
while Sunday's figures showe 1 a falling off
of 117 cases and 45 deaths compared with
the returns of the preceding day. In Al
tona, which adjoins Hamburg, 17 new cases
and 8 deaths occurred yesterday.
Pabis There were reported in Paris and
itB suburbs to-day 42 new cases of cholera
and 17 deaths. Yesterday there were re
ported in Havre 6 new cases and 7 deaths.
Antwerp Five new cases of cholera oc
curred in this city to-dar. Only one death
due to the disease was reported during the
same time.
Rotterdam The cholera is not making
much headway in South Holland and the
returns in rejr'ard to the progress of the dis
eae throughout the whole country show
that the number of new patients and the
mortality is not large enough to warrant any
great apprehension that the pestilence will
get beyoud the control of the health au
thorities. In this city to-day, although the
deaths were comparatively few, they ex
ceeded the new cases in nntnber, two per
sons having been attacked with cholera and
three haviug succumbed to the disease. In
Dordrecht only one new case was reported
to-day. and uot a single death resulting
from the scourge was brought to the notice
of the authorities. Only tw o cases were re
ported elsewhere in Holland.
BEnus-Eight suspicious cases were
brought to the Moabit Hospital this after
noon. One of the patients subsequently
died. Two bargemen and a workingnwn,
wbohaie not been outside of Berlin in
years, were seized with cholera in this city
to-day. The barges have been disinfected.
The authorities are trying to learn where the
workman became infected.

PHILADELPHIA 0. K.
A Satisfactory State of Affairs Reported by
the Qnarantlno Commission.
PmiiADELPiliA, Sept. 20. The Interna
tional Quarantine Commission which in
spected the defences against cholera along
the Delaware basin a week ago has pre
pared a preliminary report on the subject of
tbe Philadelphia quarantine, which was
presented to the Board of Health at its
meeting to-day. The report declares that it
is proper to' say that the commission is
cognizant of practical results in various
directions which reflect credit upon the
quality of the Philadelphia health service.
Th'fe prompt concentration of forces to de
lend immigration at vulnerable points is
visible on every band.
It is with much pleasure that tbe Com
mission is enabled to say after careful in
quiry, that to Philadelphia, at least, the
continent may confidently look for protec
tion against the importation of cholera, so
far as she can control its entry by way of
the Delaware basin, and for limiting its
spread within her own borders should it
unfortunately find its way into the city
through other channels. It is recommended,
in conclusion, that the Lazaretto or State
quarantine station be extensively enlnrged
and improved by the occupation of an island
in the river as a permanent location.

ISrEClAL TELEGRAM TO TOB DISPATCIT.l
Ne-w Yobk, Sept 20. More than a half
mile of summer hotel and pleasure resorts
at Seaside station, Eockaway Beach, went
up in flame and smoke this afternoon.
Both sides of Seaside avenue from the rail
road station were swept by the wave of flame
which turned round the ocean front and
rolled down past the iron pier toward Eock
away Park on the west, and through Wain
wright & Smith's big bathing pavilion
toward Averne-by-the-Sea on the east
A woman was burned to death and sev
eral persons injured. Seaside avenue was
blocked with debris of all- kinds. Pianos,
billiard and pool tables, silverware, crock
ery and household articles ot all descrip
tions were piled together in confused heaps
in all directions, plunder for the gangs who
looted the burning buildings.
When the fire got beyond control the
wildest orgies broke out among the crowds
ot hoodlums attracted to the place. Burn
ing saloons were thrown open by the fleeing
proprietors, and the mob took possession ot
them. It was a free spree, and whisky and
wine were more plentiful, apparently, than
the water which was being thrown on the
seething buildings.
A Hugo Tinder Box for Flames.
A gang of tipsy Italians swaggered along
the avenue tossing battles of champagne in
the air, while the flames roared on all sides,
and women, crazed with fear, went shriek
ing about the place. Senside, with its.
scores of flimsy frame structures, was like a"
huge tinder box ready for the torch, and
when it was applied no power could stay
the fire.
The fire started in John Cornish's Won
derland Museum, which fronts Seaside ave
nue and extends more than 100 feet on the
boulevard. It was a familiar object to
Bockaway Bench excursionists, and was
said to contain $50,000 worth of curiosities.
Mr. Cornish, his wife, better known
as Myrtle Kingsland, and Ella Wes
ner, the male impersonator, who had jnst
closed her season at the beach, were having
dinner in tbe museum when the cook, Mrs.
Mary Phillips, ran into the room shouting
that the place was on fire. Soon the. whole
building was wrapped in flames. Men ran
in and Mrs. Cornish and Miss Wesner were
hurriedly carried ont
One IJfo Certainly Sacrificed.
Mrs. Phillips disappeared in the building
atter giving the alarm,, and there Is little
doubt that she perished A northeast wind
fanned the flames. ThTv8laae;;ure. depart
ment was powerless to check the fire, and
it swept up and down the avenues. M. Meis
ler's hotel and his big carrousel were quickly
destroyed, and then the shooting ealleries
and numerous small establishments in line
along the avenues went Then, when
William Collins' Williatnsburgh house
caught, building after building caught as
theaflames chased down the avenue, and
finatTy Murray & Daly's Ocean View Hotel,
the finest on the beach", was reached.
As the flames circled high above this
structure, they were wafted across the av
enue to Wainwright & Smith's big pavilion
and the flames began to countermarch on
that side the avenue back toward the rail
road depot. From the bathing pavilion the
flames roared through Frederick Schuber's
aud William Schuster's concert gardens,
catching the adjoining hotels and build
ings. One Ho tel After Another Vanishes.
Among the first to go were Bichard Simp,
son's Hotel and Kruse's Hotel. Then the
New York Hotel and the small buildings
.between it and Kruse's added their heat
and smoke.
The flames from Murray & Daly's Hotel
swept along the ocean front toward Bock
away Park. The fakir stands and photo-
grapn galleries, wmen nneu in the vacant
spaces between the large buildings, formed
a continuous roadway tor the flames. The
iron pier was gutted on the way, and the
fire stopped at last only for want of mate
rial. From Wainwright & Smith's bathing
pavilion, opposite Murray & Daly's hotel,
the flames took in a large open pavilion
which was connected to the bathing pa
vilion by a wocden run-way. Again a line
of stands and booths carried the flames up
the ocean lront porche, but they were
nnany stopped at Harper s pavilion.
An appeal for help was sent out and in
response a fire company with an eugine
went to the Beach from Long Island City
on a special train. Two companies went
lrom Ozone Park, one from Wood Haven
Junction and one from Far Eockaway.
They "were handicapped, however, by hav
ing no water and the engines were run
down to the bay. .
Something Sa cd by the riremen.
The firemen devoted their energies to
saving the railroad station and the upper
part of Seaside avenue, near the station.
In this they were partly successful.
The fire cut through the big ICingsland
Casino, owned by Mr. Cornish, on one side
the avenue, and was got under control at
John H. Walter's Hotel. On the opposite
side of the avenue the flames checked at
E. E. Datz'a hotel next to the station.
These were tbe only buildings on the
avenue on that side ot the railroad tracks.
It is estimated that 500,000 may cover
the loss. Some of the buildings were
owned by Wainwright & Smith, who let
out the beach property. They were flimsy
structures, and, it is said, carried little in
surance. Some of the largest buildings destroyed
are: M. Meisler's Hotel, William Collins'
Williamsburg House, Wainwright &
Smith's bathing pavilion and open
air pavilion, Bichard Simpson's Hotel,
the New York Hotel, Kruse's
Hotel, W. E. Nazray's barber shop, George
E. Burchcll's store and house, Cornish's
Casino and Museum, Kendall's restaur
ant, Garrison's bakery. Bead's cigar
store, Mrs. McDermott's hotel,
Patrick Lyons' hotel, Mrs. Boyd's
Hotel, Chord's Hotel. JacoD Kohn's dry
goods store, the iron pier, Murray & Datz's
Hotel, Dr. Phillia's drug store, F. A.
Mitchell's barber shop, Rowland Seaman's
Hotel and James Beatty's shooting gallery.
Adams & Walt's hotels were both badlr
damaged. Harper's pavilion was scorched.

New YORK, Sept 20. Sptcial On
September 7 Mrs. Heyward Hall McAllis
ter went to Newport, R, L, to see her hus
band. After a long and earnest talk with
him she came back to New York. After
her departure the story spread through
Newport that the conversation .between
husband and wife had been on the subject
of an application for a divorce which Mrs.
McAllister" proposed to make. Mr. McAl
lister, who is the son of Ward McAllister,
has not, it is said, a sufficient income to
support his wife. "Mrs. McAllister was
Miss Jennie Garmany, of Savannah, and
for a long time after her secret marriage
to Mr. McAllister had many suitors.
When the fact of their marriage was an
nounced last spring it created a ripple of
comment in society.
Park Commissioner Albert Gallup, who
is attorney for Mr. Heyward McAllister,
said to-day: "As far as J know no divorce
firoceedings have been begun. Mrs. McAl
ister went to see her husband September 7,
and the next day,I was called to Newport.
I had a long talk: with Mr. Theodore Steele
and Mayor Honey, who are Mrs. McAllis
ter's counsel, but it is not time yet to say
anything about the matters we discussed.
If Mrs. McAllister brings. suit for divorce
it will undoubtedly be on tho grounds of
desertion and non-support Matters stand
to-day just as they stood two weeks ago,
and nothing is to be said for the present"
Of course a suit tor divorce on the ground
specified would not be brought in this
State. '

URGENT BUSlNESa
LIZZIE BORDEN'S CASE.
New Facts Alleged to Hate Been Discov
ered by the Prosecution Slie Had an
Anxiety to Know About the Disposition
of Her Father's Property.
Fall River, Mass., Sept 20. The
Globe will publish an array of facts bearing
on the Borden case to-night It will say
that the State is ready to prove that six
months before the murders Lizzie Borden
went to Providence by way of New Bedford
and there consulted with a lawyer about the
possible disposition of her father's property
in the event of his death, and more particu
larly as to its disposition as affecting her.
This man is one of the best known law
yers in Rhode Island and has held several
political offices. He obtained all of the
information that she could give .him about
a supposititious case and then asked her
where she lived. When she said "Fall
River" he told her he would not be able to
give her an answer at once, but if she
would call upon him later he would look
up the Massachusetts law and would be
able to advise her.
Two weeks before the murder she a;atn
went to Providence, via New Bedford, and
received all the information the lawyer
could give her. Then she went to several
storesin Providence and made purchases,
directing that they be shipped to her home.
The police are in possession of a shipping
tag showing that Miss Borden was in
Providence on the day indicated. When
the story of the murders was published the
lawyer recalled his client of two weeks pre
vious. A man who saw Mis? Borden sitting in
the lawyer's waiting room gave informa
tion of her wanderings to the -police. On
the last day of the preliminary bearing tl e
lawyer was in the District Court, and stood
face to face with the prisoner. The recoe-
L nUion was mutual, and the lawyer deter
mined then to go on the witness stand and
testily to the interviews when the proper
time arrived. These facts are construed to
mean that the State has another clew as to

To Be Built on tho Cljdo for Freight and
Immigrant Service at Philadelphia.
BY CABLE TO THE DISPATCH.!
London, Sept 20. CopyrigU. Con
tracts have just been signed for the
immediate construction of two 8,000
ton steamships on the Clyde for
the American trade. A London paper,
in making the announcement to-day, said
that these boats were for tbe Inman. This
is not true. The fact will occasion some
surprise that they are to be built for the
American Line, and will ply between
Philadelphia and Liverpool. The Phila
delphia business of the American Line will
not be moved to Southampton.
It is an open question whether these
boat, alter being built here, will be trans
ferred to the American flag under the re
cent or some future act of Congress. They
will hardly come under the provisions of
the recent act, for they will fulfill require
ments only in point of tonnage. They will
not be fast ships, and they are not designed
for first-class jmssenger service. They are
intended chiefly for immigrant and freight
service, and will make about 15 knots with
a low consumption of coal.

Than Is Imported From England

American tin is pushing itself rapidly to
the front, and Pennsylvania! leads the way
in the manufacture of tin plate. It bos
practically killed the tin plate industry of
Wales. The general cry of the newspapers
and manufacturers of England is that the
industry on this side of the water is mostly
on paper, and American manufacturers can
only make an inferior article. This is flatly
contradicted by a Welsh tin plate expert
Charles Johns, a Welshman, of Law
renceville, thoroughly versed in the tin
plate industry, having worked at it before,
coming to this country, made a tour of in
spection of the tin plate manufactories of
Pennsylvania the other day. When asked
what he thought of the progress being made,
he said: "It is simply wonderful. If the
American manufacturers maintain the stan
dard of the tin plate they are now produc
ing, Welsh tin platers will have little or
nothing to da The most fully equipped
factory I visited was at Irondale, run by
Wallace, Baufield & Co.
Thought He Was Back In "Wales.
"When I got inside this mill, I thought I
was home again. It seemed as if I had been,
transported across the waters and set in a
Welsh tin plate manufactory. Of coarse it
was on a smaller scale, but the details. were
all the same. I met some of my old-time
friends there who had charge of the depart
ments, la fact nearly every person en
gaged in the factory is from Wales. The
majority had been in this country many
years, but working at different trades. As
soon as the tin plate industry started they
jumped at the opportunity and got back at
their old business.
"The factories "on this side have the roil
ing of the steel down fine. But, American
like, they try to get as much as possible out
of the rolls and as a result the quality of
the steel sheets is not what could be ob
tained if they would be satisfied to get a
less quantity. Many factories lack rough
ing rolls, as they' do at Irondale. In
using one pair of rolls to do
the roughing as well as the other
work the surface obtained is not
as good as it might be. Notwithstanding this,
the production from an American mill it
nine boxes more in an eight-hour turn than
produced in Wales. In the old country
about SO boxes are produced on each turn;
here 45 to SO boxes are turned ont A box
of tin plate averages about 103 pounds. In
turning so much material the rolls naturally
get rough and impair the surface of the
sheets.
A "Waste or 3Iaterial.
"Another feature of the American method
of working is that they match their sheets
in rolling instead of doubling, as they do
across the water. In doing this they lose
material, as there are four rough edges,
where doubling mallei but three, but they
gain time. It would be an advantage to tbe
tin plate manufacturers to get their plates
as smooth as possible, for the smoother the
plates the less tin it takes to coat them. I
was greatly surprised at the cold rolls,
Thev have three sets, as in Wales.
A better finish is obtained by running a
plate successively through a number of
different rolls than to run it a number of
time3 through the same set of rolls. The
finish obtained by the American manu
facturers does not look as well as the Welsh
production. This does not count, however,
in considering the quality of tiu plate
except so far as appearance goes. The pick
ling and tinning departments are run the
same as in Wales. The production of the
tinning department is 150 boxes ont of four
sets of workers, which is exceedingly good.
In comparing samples of American tin plate
and the Welsh production, I find that the
American article is in every way far supe
rior to the Welsh. Take what we call the
common or bright tin, it is much better
than that sent over from the old country.
Durability is a thing to be considered irhen
taking tin plate into consideration.
Jlore Economical Methods Needed.
"In Wales, two and a half pounds of
block tin are used to a box of plates. Here
the makers use four pounds. It is the same
with tbe charcoal tin or finest grade. la
Wales it would be considered a wonderful
matter to put four pounds of block tin in a
box. Here the manufacturers use six
pounds. As the steel sheet cuts a very
small figure in making good tin plate, and
the coating has everything to do with it, it
can be readily seen that American tin is
much more durable than tbe Welsh article.
There is no doubt that the Americans can
control the whole tin market if they will
only maintain the high standard which they
have established.
"One feature in which the Americans are
behind their Welsh friends in is the qual
ity of steel used in the finest grades ot tin
plate. Welsh makers use Bessemer steel
lor their lower grades, but open hearth in
charcoal tin. Here Bessemer is used in
all grades. As a result the appearance of
"the American charcoal is not as good as the
imported article, although the quality is
better. Tbe manufacturers told me that
they have yet to receive the first complaint
of any 'kind regarding their product
"Four new mills will be shortly started
up in New Castle. Joseph Phillips, who
has brought the Irondale works to such a
high standard, will start the industry in
that town. With tbe men tbe Americans
have in their employ, being the very best
ot the old Welsh tin plate makers, there U
