New York Harbor with cholera on board.
They were the Nermannia and Ru^ia.
from Hamburg, and both belong to the Ham-
burz-A-tnerican Packet Comnany. Health
O.Ucer Jenkins reported the number of
deaths on both ships to be nine—four on
theRugiaand five on the Normaunia. On
each vessel there were four persons still ill
of the disease. The bodies of the dead were
buriel at sea. The plague-iufectei ships
anchored in the lower bay to the east and
south of Hoffman Island. No ona was
allowed near them.
On the two ships there are 581 cabin nas-
■enzers wno must stay coopel up on board
of the vessel until the Health Officer oe- •
lieves all danger is passed. Among them are
s-mie prominent persons, including Senator
McPherson, of New Jersej, and a number of
theatrical people.
The Normannia has 483 cabin passengers
and 482 steerage. The Ruzia has ninety-
asght cabin passengers and 436 steerage.
The four who died on the Rugia were all
steerage passengers. Of the five who die.l
on the Normannia one was a firjt-class
Jnce in
bulletins of the
fork City remained
from" "the cholera scourge that
found such a comfortable lodging place in
the pest-ships lying in the Lower Bay.
The last bulletins issued by the Board of
Health told of a condition of affairs in
the city that is far different from that on
the Normannia and Rugia, and on those two
desolate spots, Swinburne and Hoffman
Islands.
The plague is spreading there, but conso
lation can be derived from the confident
prediction of Dr. Jenkins that the pestilence
will not reach the city. He firmly believes
that he can keep it in the infected territory,
where it is now running riot, and where the
terror-stricken cabin passengers of the
Normannia were kept like rats in a cage.
_ On the day that the bulletin just men
tioned was issued there were ten new cases,
but no deaths. That last statement of
fact leaves slight ground for con
gratulation, of those ten who go
to make up the long list of vic
tims, ninety per cent, at least will go the
way of those .whose bodies have been re-
dneed to ashes in the Swineburne Island ere-
Histories within the past fourteen days.
The pest-ship Normannia, whose name is
only to be mentioned now in connection
with cholera, suffering and death, contrib
uted eight cases, and the Rugia,
which was kept up with her sister ship in
the race of death, ban led over two to the
overworked physicians who are fighting the
dread disease. They in turn handed them
over to Dr. Byron on Swinburne Island.
Since the three cholera ships arrived there
have been thirty-one new cases and eight
deaths from the pest in the tort of New
York.
President Harrison gave orders to turn
over part of Sandy Hook an 1 give 500 tents
for the use of the cabin passengers from the
Normannia.
The City of New York, with Chauncey
Depew and other well-known Americans on
board, besides several other steamers, ar
rived with no trace of the disease.
Special cables report all the steamers leav
ing England crowded with Americans.
Double prices are being paid for berths, and
on some vessels new cabins have been built
on the decks. *
A guard line has bean established by the
Federal authorities along the Canadian
border. All the passengers by rail or boat
will be carefully examined.
The lower bay was so crowded with
the detained ocean liners that navigation
became difficult, if not dangerous. The
terrors of possible collision were added to
the terrors of the present plague.
There were daily additions to the fleet of
steamships idly but anxiously rocking at
anchor in the waters of the bay. The
problem,of how to separate the healthy pas
sengers who had been exposed to no reason
able chance of infection from those who
bad been in serious risk and among whom
the dread plague might be lurking, was the
most serious question. So serious was it
that Secretary of the Navy Tracy went to
New York and joined Secretary of the
Treasury Foster and, ex-§.ijrges^-Genera 1
Hamilton in considering; this question:
^Dn tie eighth d&y after they were quaran
tined fouf deaths andten new oases occurred
among the pest ships In fhe'ldwar bay.
The four deaths occurred on Swinburne
Island, and six of the new cases were among
the recently bathed and fumigated members i
of the Norinannia’s crew. Three others
were among the steerage passengers of the
Rugia, and one developed on Hoffman
Island.
In addition to this, eicjht members of
families of those attacked on the Rugia,
and who had associated with the victims,
were taken to Swinburne Island and iso
lated.
These deaths left sixteen cases and fifty-
erne suspects on Swinburne I^and. All

All afeqfce' ~nu mvj ot 1 -fi s* “on oV were

These figures brought up the aggregate 1
cases of cholera developed ia the Tiarbor
since its first appearance ou the Moravia to
forty-two and the deaths to twelve, the
graud total of deaths on the three ships since
they sailed being forty-six.
It was with a feeling of relief that New
York City learned that the cabin passengers
of the Normannia would be released from
their poison infected prison,
h This release, unconscionanly long delayed,
was due wholly to the munificence of J.
Pierpont Morgan, who at bis own expense
chartered the spacious steamer iSton-
ington, of the Sound flotilla, and
tendered her to the Hamburg Company for
the use of the cabin passengers. It is need
less to add that the offer was accepted. Sen
ator McPherson also procured a barge for
the same purpose.
The old frigate New Hampshire was taken
for occupancy by the Rugia’s cabin passen
gers. V fv
Dr. Jenkins made a tour of inspection of
Sandy Hook, N. J., with a view of establish-
" ing a quarantine camp there. Secretary Fos
ter thought the Secretary of War could not
object to the appropriation of the peninsula.
Austin Corbin off ered to build barracks.
Three deaths and five presumptive cases
ot cholera was the work of the plague ou the
fleet of ocean steamships in the bay on the
tenth day after the Moravia had been quar-
an tinea.
Two of the deaths were those of children
on tne Guion Line steamer Wyoming, from
Liverpool. The other death was that of a
seaman of the Normannia who was trans
ferred irom the ship to - Swinburne Island
three days before.
On this same day the steamer Scandia ar
rived trom Hamburg with cholera on board.
Thirty-two deaths were reported, twenty-
nine in steerage, two in crew and one in
cabin
There were i‘Sl steerage passengers on
beard and twenty-eight in the cabin, and
seventy-seven oi the crew, 1086 in all. Seven
p;rsons on the Scandia were, at this time,
uown with the disease.
The Ham burg-American Company thus,
at one time, bad six ships under the ban of
tne Healtu Officers, viz.: the Moravia, Ru
gia, Normannia, 'W ieland, Stubbenhuk and
tue Scanaia.
President Harrison directed by proclama
tion the preparation of Sandy Hook for a
quarantine cam;.*, and the work of provid
ing accommodations for detained passengers
was put in active progress under the direc
tion of Surgeoj-General Hamilton.
Governor Flower, of New York, directed
Health Officer Jenkins to purchase land on
Fire Island, if necessary, to establish a
quarantine station.
It was decide after a conference be
tween Secretary Foster and other prominent
officials, that Surgeon-'raneral Hamilton, of
[the United States Armv, who was sent to
‘Florida during the yellow fever outbreak,
take charge of the cholera encampment at
Sandy Hook.
The Chamber of Commerce of New York
City held a meeting and appointed a com
mittee to co-ooerate with the Health and
Quarantine authorities to secure a refuge
for detained passengers.

So quarantine cholera claimed new vic-
on every one of the three Hamburg
£mships, and four more names must be
ed to the death roll. There were two
'deaths on the Normannia. Emma Horn,
eight years old. a steerage passen-
ger.succumbel to toe disease after an illness
of five days, ani Heinrich Lammers, forty-
seven years old, one of the steerage stew
ards, died while being removed from the
ship to be taken to Swinburne Island. He
haa been ill one day.
Both holies were cremated at Swinburne
Island in the afternoon. On the Ruzia An
tonia Maria, seventeen years old, died after
an illness of a few hours.
Abraham Sconeidermann, the eight-year-
old boy who was taken sick on the Moravia,
died whiie being transferred to Swinburne
Island. Two new cases broke out on the
Rugia, making seven cases on board.
The Quarantine authorities seemed un
able to remove the sufferers to the Swinburne
Island Hospital. The dead were cremated
late at nignt. There was almost a panic
among the Normannia’s cabin passengers.
It was reported by persons who approached
within hailing distance of the ships in tugs
that the passengers were badly frightened.
When Dr. Jenkins was on board one of the
passengers told him. it is said, that he could
raise foOCO on board in an instant if permis
sion were given to charter a boat and re
move the cabin passengers to her, the vessel
to be anchored north of the pest grounds
until tne passengers could be released.
Ofi tne second day after being placed in
quarantine there were three deaths and
nve new cases of cholera on the plague fleet
in the lower bay. Two tugs with policemen
wefit on picket duty. Dr. Jenkins, New
York’s Health Officer, decided to act in har
mony with the President.
Secretary of the Treasury Foster visited
Quarantine. He said there would be no
conflict between the State and Federal
authorities, and pronounced the station one
ot the best equipped in the country, if not
in the world. He has great faith in Dr.
Jenains’s ability to fight the plague.
Two police boats have been added to the
patrol fleet. Seven officers are on eacn tug.
They will endeavor to keep every kind of
craft away from the pest shipc.
At the Navy Yard there are a tu^ and
launches all ready with stores aboard to go
down to the lower bay and assist the police
in their patrol work, should such a thing ba
necessary. It seemed to be definitely settled
that there should be no more leaks from the
cholera fleet to New York.

Cholera at
Hamburg.
Dr. Veuz, of Hamburg, gives a graphic
description of the sal condition of the city.
The old town, he says, is a collection of
dirty, stifiinr, crowded e iarnel houses. The
Alter Jungfer.-tieg is desolate, the Alster
pavilion deserted. There are few tram cars,
and toey areaimest empty. The whole city
is in dreary and disheartening contrast to
what it was. The tree-lined -Spielbuienplatz
is unfrequentetl, and an oppressive stillness
bangs over it. The cafes are emoty.
One head-waiter, who serves at a restau
rant wtere formerly Ci» persons ate daily,
told the paysician the oUer day that eight
een customers had been there up to 6 p.m.
In passing the strasse he saw a crowd and
six policemen holding it in check, while six
women ran screaming down the roa i after
ambuiances wnich were bearing their
husbands away to the cholera hospital. Oc
cupants of houses, he says, often run out in
the street and beseech passing policemen to
send ambulances to remove patients, but the
police can seldom accede to their appeals, as
the ambulance service is quite inadequate to
the oemanas uj oil if.
At ,night, Dr. Veuz says, the streets are
Completely deserted by pedestrians, al
though ambulances, dead wagons and
hearses can be heard passing almost con
stantly. The statistics published by the
authorities. Dr. \ euz says, are utterly
worthless. On one day the number of
deaths announced by the'health officials was
but ore-half the number registered at the
office.
The epidemic shows no sign of abatement.
On the day this cablegram was seat 939 new
cases and 369 deaths were announced, the
victims being mostly women. There were
£30 burials. The deaths in the prisons and

KILLED IN A WRECK, '
An Engineer s Carelessness Causes a
Disastrous Collision.
A disastrous wreck, by which seven per
sons lost their lives and over a dozen were
seriously if not fatally Injured, occurred on
the' Clearfield and Cambria Railroad, a
branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad, a
few evenings ago. A passenger train, with
Engineer V. W. Ferry, of Altoona, had
orders to stop at Patton’s Station, Penn,,
to allow a construction train to pass. The
engineer forgot his orders and proceeded on
his way. In a deep cut near Rekenrod’s
Mills be met the work train coming toward
him.
Tne passenger train was running at a
high rate ot speed. The engineer of the
work train, knowing that the other had or
ders to wait for him at Patton's, was speed
ing to the point as fast as he could go. Both
engines came together with a tremendous
crash, reared up and fell over to one side.
Engineer Ferry and his fireman, L. Parrish,
of Gallitzin, were .instantly killed and tbeir
bodies buried in the wreck. The gravel cars
were loaded with laborers. Five of them
were instantly killed. They were Swedes.
The injured, it was estimated, numbered
fifteen. The blame is placed on Engineer
Ferry, who, the company officials say, had
clearly violated his instructions.
GAETANO RPSSO, THE SOtrLPTOR.
The statue of Christopher Columbus, pre
sented to America by the people of Italy*
arrived at the Port of New York, a few days
ago, on the war ship Garigliano.
The Garigliano was boarded by a party of
Italians from a tug, who returned to town
about 7 o’clock. Then the Garigliano came
up to the foot of Fulton street. North River,
accompanied by a tug, but there were no
formal ceremonies of welcome.
immediately the work of unloading the
statue from the hold of the Italian naval
transport was begun and as the first stone
slowly ascended in tbe powerful grasp of the
big derrick Chapman a cheer arose from the
throng of patriotic Italians who had gath
ered upon the wharf at Fulton street, to
witness the discharge of the previous cargo.
The reception of the statue was in the
hands of Secretary J. N. Malferrari and
Captain J. Mardini, of the Executive Com
mittee of the Italo-Americano Society. The
sections were placed on trucks and taken to
the site to be occupied by the work of art
at Fifty-ninth street and Eighth avenue.
This will be made the occasion of a demon
stration, a procession with numerous floats
being a feature. A large force of workmen
will be set to work in order to have the
statue completed and ready tor dedication
by October 12.

in the air aud otherwise gave expressions to
their joy. It was a wonderful and a very

JOHN GREEXLEAF WHITTIER.
John Greenleaf Whittier, the poet, died at
Hampton Falls, N. H„ at 4:30 o’riock a few
mornings ago. He had been unconscious at
intervals since the first serious symptoms of
his illness developed, but at the last moment
was apparently conscious of his surround-
i n crc.
Whittier’s last conscious utterance was
vne of recognition of his niece, Mrs. Samuel
L Pickard, who lived with him for some
years previous to her marriage. Mrs. Pick
ard asked him whether he knew her. and he
replied- “Yes. I have known you all tbe
time ” and immediately lapsed into uncon
sciousness. His end was painless and peace-
Uoon the announcement of the death of
Whittier, the bells of Amestu-y, Mass.,
were tolled eighty-four strokes, the age of
the poet in years, and the flags on the pub
lic buildings were placed at hair-mast.
His body was taken to his home in Arar *
burv and'it was decided that the funeral be
held from his old home on Friend street, the
house in which many of his best poems were
written, and the shrine of every visitor to
Amesbury.
His Career.
John Greenleaf Whittier was horn in
Haverhill. Mass.. December U, Hu
parents were members of the Society of
Friends, and the poet himself always con
formed to the customs and usages of tnat
sect, even to its peculiarities ol speech and
r He spent his earlier years uoon his
father’s farm, and his first occupations
were those of a farmer’s boy. tending the
cows and assisting in the lighter labors of
haying and harvest. , .
It was thus that he was early brought in
to touch with nature, his intimate acquaint
ance and knowledge of whose charms gives
such a picturesque beauty to many of his
poems. They reflect the country scenery of
New England with a fidelity that has never
been equalled.
His early schooling was 01 toe scantiest
kind, for it was only in the winter mouths
that he had the opportunity of attending the
neighboring district school. Later on he
learned the shoemaker’s trade, and by this
means he earned enough to enable him to
attend the Haverhill Academy during six
months in 1827. , , , . ..
He was then able to teach school himself,
thus obtaining the means of continuing his
course at the academy another yeai. _)u>—

After his father’s death Whittier carried
on the farm for five years until 1835. during
which time he was an industrious writer and
contributed verses to many periodicals. He
was also in turn editor of the American
Manufacturer, of Boston, the Haverhill
Gazette and the New England Weekly Re
view, of Hartford, Conn.
t$In 1836 he removed to Philadelphia, where
he edited the Pennsylvania Freeman until the
office of that paper was sacked ani burned
by a mob. In 1840 he returned to New
England and took up his abode in Amesbury,
where he lived a quiet and simple life.
During his seclusion Whittier has never
been idle. His first volume in prose and
verse, “Lezends of New England,” was pub
lished in 1881, and since that time collections
of his writings have appeared almost every
year. The last edition of his poetical and
prose works was published in 1889 in seven
volumes.
Among his best known works are “Lays
of My Home and Other Poems,” published
in 1843; “Old Portraits and Modern
Sketches,” 1853; “Home Ballads and
Poems,” 1860; “Snow Bound,’’ 1862; “In
War Time and Other Poems,” 1863; “The
Tent on the B?acb,” 1867; “Among the
Hills, - ’ 1868; “Hazel Blossoms,” 1874; “The
Vision of Echard,” “The King’s Missive,”
“Bay of Seven Islands” and “Poems of
Nature,” all published within the past dozen
years.
