from Isllp, Babylon and other points on
Long Inland, appear to Uavo decided to
prevent the landing of quarantined pas
sengers; by force If necessary. They defy
the Governor and the Stale'heulth oflloers,
and claim that 'their "common rights"
justify them in guarding Fire Island from
intrusion by peoplo who may bo infected
with cholera.
They intimidated tho pilot last night
f.o that ho refused to bring In tho
Cepheus, and they threaten to burn tho
Surf Hotol, unless tho attempt to uso it
for a quarantine station is abandoned.
Tw enty of tho men have been sworn in
as special constables, and they have over
100 assistants. The men admit that they
are armed, and declare tunt they will
not give way to Now York policemen, or
any one else.
Forty French cooks 'and waltorsj who
were sent down from the Hoffman House,
were stopped at Babylon and stoned
They were not permitted to ombark for
Firo Island.
Gov. Flower came down from Albany
this morning to direct operations in
person.
The munificent gift ot tho Sound
steamer Stonington for the reception of
tho cabin passengers of the Normatinia
proved of little present avail. The boat
was pronounced unscawortuy, una utter
she had been filled with passengers flee
ing from the plague stricken Normaunia
it was fountl tunt there were not lacili
ties enough on the Stonington for prop
erly cookiug their food. Atoordlngly the
Normannlas cabin passengers were
transferred again, this time to tho Iron
steamboat Cepheus, which it was thought
would laud them as quickly as wind and
tide would permit on Fire" Island.
But, as above stated, the nieu on Fire
Island determined to prevent them from
lauding at all hazards.
Cholera caused ono death ou the Scan
din and there -were three now oases yes
terday.
The death list of the Scandla now foots
up to ail, including two unknown.
Fifteen cases have developed on her so
fur.
Now that tho infected ships are clear of
their passengers, the question arises as to
what should be dona with them. Of
course tho companies aru anxious that
they bo allowed to proceed to their docks
after thorough fumigation and a reason
able detention, but It has been suggested
by not a few that they be sent hack to the
ports from whence they came or to anv
other port outside the United States that
is willing to receive them.
Just or unjust, Dr. Jenkins is coming
in for a goodly sharo of abuse. Tho
charges mado by the Norman nla's passes
gers have caused considerable adverse
comment, and on the whole, many hard
things are being said about him.
The chief topic was tho alleged lack of
fresh water on board the Normannia.
When Captain Heblch's charge that the
ship had been without a supply for two
or three days after her arrival, during
wnlcn time sue bad to depond on the sun
ply In her tanks brought from tho river
Kibe, the doctor said the allegation was
true. On the ship's arrival ho had or
dered her water supply boiled for tho
purpose of purifying it, and as it was tho
business of the Hamburg line to supply
water as inucu as any otner class of nro-
visions, ho bad notified tho company to
tuut enect. iuey later reported it im
possible to get water boats to go to tho
lower bay, owing to the crews, they being
in tear oi intcctiou.
If the oompany did not furnish tho
water, the doctor said, he fniled to Bee
how ho could bo held responsible for their
suort-comlugs.
At tho end of tho second or third dav
finding the ship still without water he
bud sent ono of the tugs at his command,
with three thousand gallons drawn from
local reservoirs.
As to the charge that disinfection and
fumigation had been neglected, the
doctor denied emphatically that such was
ute met, because the work had been per
formed ' under the supervision of Dr.
Sanborn, ono of his moat valued as
sistants.
Ho said the complaints of tho cabin
passengers were unreasonable In as much
as they could not be permitted to leave
their own part of tho ship, to inpect tho
quarters oi steerage nnd thus invite pos
sible Infection.
It is reported that a petition is belno:
cirouluted by .Mr. A. M. Palmer's family
physician, addressed to tho State govern
ment, uemanuiug tuo removal of Dr.
Jenkins.
When asked about it tho health officer
was inclined to believe that tho aliened
effort was the result of his refusal to
grunt special privileges to the physician
in quextion, the latter winning to go
alongside the Normannia, in which
Mr. Pulmer is a prisoner, lu a steam vaoht.
Dr. Jenkins to-day shows stronir ovl
Uence of the strain on both mind and
body which he is undergoing, and It
would not be surprising should ho break
auwn.
Quarantine officials exm-oaa the belief
that it will not be necessary to detain tho
Norniunnla'a pawengwa on Fire Island
lonifer than a weuk, that Is, of oourse, Jf
cholera doea not break out among them,
and that the passengers transferred to
Sandy Hook may be dismissed at tho
same time. As to the immigrants on
Hoffman Island, there is u6 knowing now
when they will got uway, as tho dlseass
has shown itself there oyery day during
nw punt WSC&.
12,00Q CASES, 7,0p0 DEATHS.
Th Record In llkiiilnirg Up ti Date-
riazua Not Ircrran!n.
HAMiiCitrj, Sep. 12. The expectation
as to tho abatement of the plague nro
not realized. Yesterday there were 810
fresh cases, or 22 more than Saturday.
To-diiy there huvo been 708 fresh cases,
or IB -fewer than yesterday, nfid 281
deaths, or 24 more than yesterday.
The' number of persons in tho cholera
hospitals and barracks on Salurduy was
D.1S4, and to day has been 8,2!0. A city
pnysieiiui says tijat uio average rate oi
mortality has been two cuscs to every five.
To-morrow olllcinl statistics for the
whole plague will bo given out by the
municipal government.
lhere is much curiosity to know
whether tho sanitary officiats have chosen
to acknowledge thut they have published
falfohoods, or to keep on publishing
frilsenoodH.
Tho agitation In Berlin In favor of cur
tailing the State rights of Hamburg has
given a new motive for concealing tho
truth, and many influential citlzons have
secretly advised the authorities to minim
ize in their report the ravages of tho
plague, in order that tho Imperial govern
ment may have loss excuse for inter
fering with the city affairs.
the most conservative figures place the
number of cases until to-duy at l'J.OOO,
and tho number of deaths at 7,000.
1 lie want of food among workingraen s
families increases and Social Democratic
organs call for government loans to alle
viate it. They say that thero uro 10,000
persons in Hamburg who are absolutely
destitute, with hardly clothes to cover
them, and neither money nor food from
one day to the next. Tho suburln, Hnm
merbrook, Horn and Barmbeck, are said
to contain the largest number of impov
erished families, and for all three imme
diate relief through government loans is
demanded.
If such help Is not forthcoming soon,
tho Social Democratic editors prophecy
the city will experience such desperation
and misery as no city 'has experienced
siuoo tho revolution of 1818-10.

Loon Lake, N. Y., Sep. 12. President
Harrison has repllod to Governor Abbett's
protest against tho uso of Sandy Hook as
a quarantine camp, and also to his com
plaint that infected articles from tho
quarantined ships were being tossed into
tho bay with rockloss disregard ot health,
that the Attorney-General would bo in
structed to look into the legal points
involved in tho case; that the Secretary
of tho Treasury would see that every pre
caution would be taken if the camp Is
established, anil that the steamship com
panies wuuld be warned to desist from

Three of the Hurt lllnl Yi'itm day
Horrible Snellen at the Wreck ISiiKlueer
Goodwin Had No Itleht to Hun by the
Signal, Kveu Though It Were Fojrgr.
Boston, Sop. 13. To a dense fojt and
apparent carelessuess on tho part of the
engineer of the freight train is to be
charged tho fatal accident on tho Fitch
burg Railroad shortly before 11 o'clock
Saturday evening, at West Cambridge,
by which six were killed and many Ini
jured, three of whom have sinco dlod.
The official investigation into tho causa
of tho accident will undoubtedly result
in placing the blame whore it belongs,
but tho railroad men themselves do not
hesitate to charge Engineer Goodwin of
tho freight train with tho responsibility.
Tim swltohos at the junction of the Water
town branch with tho main lino are
moved from a signal tower nnd are pro
tected by signals, which, under tho in
terlocking system now in such general
uso by the railroads, cannot bo wrongly I
set, and which, if seen and oboyed, will
prevent oven the possibility of accident.
That Engineer Goodwin ran by one of
these signals set at danger is clearly ap
parent. It is also evident that had he
seen and obeyed tho signal and brought
his train under control, as the rules of
tho road require, he would never have
crashed into tho rear of tho passenger
train.
While tho fog may havo obscured tho
slgual from Goodwin's sight, It is said
tho rules of tho road require that he
should como to a full stop if necessary to
see and road it before passing.
Tho complete list of killed end tho in
jured so fur as known follows:

The passenger train was heavily
1 loaded, as is always tho case on Satur
day night, and had arrived at the junc
tion, where it wtu waiting for an east
bound liaiiflit to pass before crossing
the main traoks to the Watortown brunch
road,
While the train was standing on the
main Hue, the express freight, which
had followed from tho Boston yard,
crashed Into the rear car, crushing it to
pieces, and jamming its hunmu freight
beneath the ruins.
The force of the collision smashed the
frout end of the boiler 'and oylludors, and
the eteapiug steam added horror to tho
situation of thoe already imprisoned.
As quickly as possible, word ot the ac
cident wm sent to Boston, Cambridge,
Waltham mid other points within reach,
nnd physicians were on tho spot as quiok
ly as they oould get there by different
modaa of conveyance.
The work of removing the dead and iu
j tired was commenced, and the station at
Wast Cuiybidgo was converted into a
morgue nnd liopltul, whither tho vio
tims were carried.
Many qf thpse taken from tlto wreck
wore terribly scalded, iu udditlou to
their other iujurios.
Several terribly manglod nnd badly
eharred bodies lvere taken from under the
wreckage several hours aftertho accident.
Elmer Smith,- of Fitchburg, was a pas
senger on the wrecked train, having
taken It by mistake, and Intended to
leave it at Waltham.
He was seated in tho next to tho rear
car, with his feet on the sent, In a doze.
Ho was thrown violently to the floor by
the shock, and says that nearly every
person in the car w also thrown down.
Ho says that two men and a boy jumped
from the renr end of the car, and that
they were the only persons in Hint cur
who wore not bruised iu some manner,
many being Beriously hurt.
He says tho engino ploughed through
tho rear our, splitting it In two, carrying
death before it. Ho was completely un
nerved by the shrieks and cries of tho
wounded, and hopes never again to bo
called upon to witness another such scene.
The dead and injured lay in every di
rection, and arnlmluncas and wagons
were taking the dead and Injured to the
hospital as fHst as they could be loaded.
'I ho passengers in the other four oars
of the train were terribly shaken up, many
being thrown from their seats.
Ho said that nearly every seat in tho
roar car was occupied when he passed
through it before the train left Boston.
The work of removing the victims pro
gressed as rapidly as possible, ambu
lances, express wagons and other convey
ances being piessmi Into service.
CONVERSION MAY CONDEMN HER.
In ltnllclntift Frenzy m Women Tells or A
Murder und tlets ArrentriL
Millerhburo, O., Sep. 13. Mrs. Will
iam Johnson recently became converted
and confessed to some ministers holding
revival servicos ut Dresden that ton years
ago she poured oil on the clothes of her
weak-minded sister-in-law aud set her ou
fire, letting her perish in the flames.
She told of this while in a stabs of re
ligious excitement attendant upon her
conversion, the ministers, after consult
ation, reported tho matter to tho grand
jury, whioh thereupon found an indict
ment of murder in tho first degree
agninst Mrs. Johnson, and she has been
placed in jail to await trial.
It was ten years Hgo when the people In
the vicinity of Tunnell Hill were startled
by a cry of fire which camo from William
Johnson's house. Among tho first to ar
rive were near neighbors, who plainly
heard tho shrieks of a woman insldo tho
house.
Forcing their way partially within
they saw in tho flames in an Inner room,
the form of Mr. Johnson's sister. Tho
fire had obtained such a start that they
were unable to effect a rescue.
Mrs. Job a was the only other mem
ber of the mmiiy around at tho time.
She said that .Manila poured oil upon her
clothes and then set herself on fire, with
evident suicidal intent. Martha was
weak-minded. The story was not doubt
ed theu.
