HOT SIIOT FOR QUARANTINE.e
GROSS MISMANAGEMENT CHARGED BY. THE
STATE HEALTH BOARD.
The Cholera Pntlente Aliened to Ilnva HernTrentrd with Ilrntnlllr and NeglectInenniclrnt Precaution TnUen ManagedIn the Interest of rolltlce The t'ommls-elone- re
Mllrnt When Aslted for at Keply.
Thomas N. Kowbold, President of thoStatoBoard of Health, lift or n rigid investigationinto tho lunnngcmcnt of tho QuarautiuoStation, has submitted to Governor Hill areport. This conclusion is reached :
While the Board wl,l not say that Quarantineseems to be managed or mismanaged, muro In theInterests of politics than of the puiillo, no otherconclusion can fairly be reached after reading ofthe neglect and brutality displayed by the Quaran-tine authorities.
Tho result of tho investigation which wasmndo immediately nftcr tho roccnt outbreakof cholera, is that tho Hoard of Health llnilsthat tho opinion of thoso who hnvo modo tholnuttir a Htmly is that n woruo btuto of nffnirutliun now oxistB at Quarautiuo would bo diffi-
cult to imagine.After describing the different islands, tho
buildings erected on them and tho accommo-dations for the sick, tho roport says :
The manner In which tho food was distributedwas undoubtedly tho means ot prolonging thu rav-ages of the disease, cholera. It Is now well es-
tablished by scleuildc research that the principalmode, If not the only one. In which cholera la
transierred from one person to another, Is bymeans of what Is known us tho cholera germ beingallowed to enter into water or other Aulas imbibedor food taken Into tho stomach.
That the water on Hoffman Island was not Im-pregnated la shown by tho comparatively fewi.uci. end that thev amieared one alter tbe other.Instead of numbers at once. But that fresh esseskept appearing pointed to some cause, and themorbluo potion was undoubtedly transmitted fromone to another by means of the food, dirty hands,luting on thorn cholera germs, handing the foodto others, or dipping Into the Bame dish.
No proper means were present for washing, nobalotubs In which patients could bo bathed, andthe closet were Insufficient. Trenchoa had to bedug fur Utrlncs. No watoh was kept of closets orlatrines to seo how many tlmas any one personused tbem. No physician waa on tue Island, sev-
eral guards keeplug order. Tents might havebeen used for Isolation, and one waa sent, but Itwaa not put up.
'1 ho Hospital Ship, tho old hulk Illinois, Is sup-posed to be kept In the Lower Bar from spring untilall, but as no repairs had been made on ber for
years, as stated by tbe Health Officer, aho leakedso badly that she had to bo towed back to GowanuaCreek, where she could lie safe In the mud.
At tbe boarding station at Clifton no patients arelauded or treated. The Health Officer and hisdeputy have tlielr houses at this station, and fromI,... vny.nl. nm lmnril.,1 niwl pTnmln.d. Thft antnnnetlcct and decay nre seen as noticed at llotfmanIsland. The homes need painting, the walks undroadbed repairs; tho dock Is almost tumbling Intotbo water. No effort seems to bo made to keep tueplace In proper eondlllon.
The Board of Health of Now York City, knowingwell tbo inunncr lu which the choleru had beenhandled ut Quarantine, made every arrangementto take pasiengers and their luggage upon tnelrlanding and subject them to a furthrr dlsiufectlon,It not considering the methods used by the HealthOfficer to bo sufficient or one In which tho publiccould have confidence unless under the supervisionof a known expert,
Tho roport further asserts that all thosuggestions madu for tho treatment of thocholera patients from tho bteamer Alosia andnil tho main moasuros which tended to stoptho outbreak of tho discaso and protect thopublic- came from or wore proposed by differ-ent visitors to tho station in October. Thoreport snyB t
No one who has see tho station during the lateoutbreak oould state that it wa ready for work.The hospital ship required by law to bo kept Incommission .from MayTto November, to be atanchor In the Lower Bay and to bo cipublo of car-ing for not lens than loo patients, was on her sta-
tion not two weeks, and then was quietly sent torest In the mud of Gowauus Creek,
Hoffman Island was In such a stato of decay as tobe almost useless. Swinburne Island alouo waa Ina condition to give any chance of auceesafullybaudllug diseases. But lieio no resilient physloiauwas stutlonrd, not enough nurses and no femalenurse, and the poor creatures under treatmentthere had to await tho coming of the Health Officerto receive attention, save what the nurses couldgive; and tbe Health Officer stated that tho attacksIn this outbreak of cnolera wero sudden and severe,tho stuao ot collapse coming on In from eight totwelvo hours.
coolers Is a disease tin which prompt action lacalled for on the part ut tho physician. It wouldseem that from ordinary dlctatis of humanity theQuarantine authorities would have had enoughmrdloal officers employed, If only for temporaryservice, to fully attend and give all aid in theirpower to thosu unfortunate enough to be strickenwith such a plague.
Tho families or mess groups who had beento infection umoug the Immigrants landed
from tho Alesla rould have easily been cared formtbo empty pavilions on Swinburne Islaud, and thushave been proper It sequestered. This was donewith the Immigrants from the Britannia, with theresult ot almost immediately stopplug the out-break.
In conclusion, President Nowbold says :
From all the evldeuce I havo been able to collect.It la tbe unaulmoua opinion of thoae posted on suchmutters thst It would be difficult to Imagine aworse state ot affairs than now exists at tho Quar-antine Station. It 1b hard to realize lu this, ago ofcivilization that the harbor ot the city of NewYork hhould be so Inadequately provided with fa-cilities for the prevention and extinction of an epi-
demic. The Stale Board of Health does not con-sider It within Ita province to pionounce upon theaction of the Quarantine authorities, I havemerely endeavored lo tlvo a few facts concerningthe eondlllon of affairs as they were found by thedifferent persons who visited the station, and allowyou to form your own Judgmeut upon lb That thohealth of the siato and the country was put In greatJeopardy by tho culpable unreadiness of the stationadmits of no question.
Tho Qtinrautino Commissioners rofuse totalk about tho disclosures made by tho HtatoBoard of Health. ,

In this report, any statements inrefutation of the charges already mado willbo presented. Until then, ho will havo noth-ing to sny.

The noise made by a tight la the saloon of JamesJ. Browne, S039 Second avenue, at about 11 o'clocklast night, attracted the attention of PolicemanGoll, ot tho Twenty-sevent- h Precinct.

DOCKSTADER AND THATCHER ARE OUT.
One Eminent Minstrel Fell Asleep WhileI.lelcnlng to the Other's Jokes.
A cloud obscured tho amiability of LewDockstader's nature tho othor night and thogenial minstrol was soroly and goncrouslyvexed. Of courso Mr. Hockstader bas justas much right to he vexed as othor men, butsomohow peoplo liko to know exactly why agentleman who makes g jokesnight after night and not always tho samoones should havo given way to irritability.
It is easy to oxplain. Mr. Dockstador hearing that Goorgo Thatcher, a brother minstrol,had n night off, sent that gentleman an in.vitntiou to occupy a box in his theatro. Itmay be that tho energetio Mr. Low wanted toshow Thntcher his superiority from a niin-strul- 's
standpoint.When ulgut came tho porrormanco wont
with great zest. Low Dockstador as end manhad nevor been funnier until oh I horror!his oyes rented on tho occupants of ono oftho boxes, and to his coiibtoruation he sawThntcher asleep and snoring in full viow ofthe audience.
Hockstader fumed over tho insult, nisfaco was blackened, or it would undoubtedlyhavo bcon scarlet with indignation. Such aninsult to put upon him ! Thatcher was ac-
companied by his wifo, who sat beside horliego lord as ho pursued his studios in nasalmusic
The sight soon becamo intolerable to Doclc-stadc- r.
At tho end of tho act ho sont a mes.Beuger around to Mrs. Thatcher, tolling horthat her husband must not indulgo in suchjokcH.
"Thoro's nothing funny in it," Mr. Dock-stador said.
All tho minstrels roared with laughter." Get on to Thatcher," thoy cried. Noth-
ing could havo persuaded them that thomiiistrol was not joking.
" Ccorge," said Mrs. Thntchor, nudgingher husband, after roceiving Dockstador'smossago; " do wako up. Dockstador thinksyou aro wilfully insulting him."
Mr. Thatcher rubbed his oyes nnd lookodaround him. What ho said wouldn't lookpretty horo. With a look of suporb contemptat tho staj-o- . ho rose, nnd beckoning to hiswife to follow him, left the theatre.
It is said that Thatoher and Dockstadornow meet as strangers.

Tho remark of a uianngor of a big spoctacu-la- rpiece, that tho musio of nu orchestra of

I Thc forty-tw- o Asyrinns who wcrclnnded atCastlo Gaidcn from tho Meerngo of thoChateau I.eovillo, nnd were dotainod becausoof their destitttto circumstances, wero foundat breakfast at Castlo Garden by a Wouldreporter this morning.
Tho inotloy crowd is composed of men,women aud children of every ago, and thoirclothing Ih as varied in hues as tho famouscont of Joseph.
Tho eldest of tho party, a eenmed andwrinkled old man, woro a red fez with ablack tnsicl, trousers liko thoso of the fa-
mous Ellsworth Zouaves, socks that woroprobnbly whilo in tho middle ages nndwhich lopped down ou a p.dr of pointed,turued-up-toc- d shoes, with countors likothobo of tho buskins seen in old plays, show-ing a lean and bony shank. Tho man's coatwuh simply a cast-of- f garment of civilization.
Tho voungest immigrant of all was a mitoof u buby, pretty, but dirty, lying in thoarms of tho sixty-ycar-o- wifo of tho patri-arch. Tho couido hod boon married twenty,fivo years nnd this was thoir first born. Itwas six months old und was swathed in non-descript wraps of yellow, red, bluo and greencloth.
The wifo was fancifully attired In manyhucd pnnnonts, nearly liko thoso worn byAmericans.
Each woman whoso head was innocent oftho bright-stripe- d or plaid bandana, displayedin tho tho ccntro of the top of her head around surfneo of smooth scalp as largo as asilver quuitcr, and tho reporter was informedthat it was iu accordance with a Syrian cus-tom, though tho meaning of it could not bolearned.
Thoso peoplo wero n part of a party of sixty,fivo immit'rautH, nnd when thoso who got ontho plor nil right divined from tho
through which thoy woro put byMissionary and Interpreter Goldstein thatmoney in their purses was uocossary for thoiradmission to thu blessings of this laud of thofreo, thoy mndo attomnts to assist thoir lessfortunate brothers who wero still on thobnrgo.
One follow tossed n bandana ovor tho railto tho bargo deck. But it fnilod of reachingtho ono for whom it was intended, and whonClerk John Gilroy. who had tho peoplo incluirgo. picked it up, ho found fivo Englibhsovereigns tied up in ono corner of tho ker-chief.
Thoso detained said thoy wero from Joru-snlo- m
nnd Bayrouth, whoro thoy earned theirliving by making bends aud tawdry jewelry,which thoy sold in tho streets of Jerusalem,
Ench wears a rosary and crucifix. Whenasked if they wero Catholics thoy brightenodup at ouco und chattered like magpies, thoonly uudorstaudablo wordB being : " MeChristian Catolic 1 Mo no " something orother, and each of tho magpies tapped hisindex ilugor on his own breast oagorly andwith tho light of liopo in his oyo.
Just then a tall, swarthy, well-cla- d man offorty-liv- e years approached the rail from theoutside, onrt at a Biugle word from film" Halak, sir." there was a stampodo fromtho reporter to the rail.
Tho uow-com- Binilod as sweetly as a manwho has ono bloodshot and filmy eye cansmile, and repeated again and again to eachin turn: "Halak, sir! Halak, sirl KefHnlnk! Kof Halak!"
As ho greeted tho immigrants thus heraised his hat straight up, clear from hishead, und pressed tho four fingers of thoothor hand first on tho tip of his noso, thenon his lips and finally made a cross on hisbreast.
This saluto was mot by a similar one fromtbo nowcomcrs, and then ho addressed themin Kyriac.
He was Charlio Saffee, of 57 Washingtonstreet, and ho printed his namo on tho re-
porter's pad with a rubber stamp, Ilo saidhis pooplo bad beon Christians for 1,500yours, having boon converted by missionariesof tho Groek Church.
Ho indignantly resented tbo idea that theywero natives of Jerusnlum or Bayreuth, andsaid nppoallngly to tho visitors : "Lobanon ?"whereat thero wns a chorus of ecstatic" Ahs I" a rolling of eyes, ami repetition ly
of tho word " Lobanon 1"Mr. Snffco was present as representative of
Monsour Sburbeo, of 57 Washington streetund of Toledo, O., denier in oiicntal beadsnnd jewelry. Ho was ready to guarantee thatthe now arrivals should bo employed.
" How many Syrians in town ?"lio repeatedaft or tho reporter in a broken English thatduties reproduction on paper. " Oh, that Icannot tell thero nro so many. Yes, all liveat 55, 67 and 69 Washington street."
Jona Jabon. ono of tho newcomers, spokoItalian, French and Spanish, and he said toan intcrorcter that tho people had an aggre-gate of over $400 worth of goods now await-ing them at tho Custom-Hous- e, and had somelittle money besides.
The fingers of tho men woro yellowed byeigaretto smoking, and Mr. Saffee gave out tothorn papers and tobacco. Ho said that" Kef Halnk" meant " How do you do," and" Halak Soi." "good morning."
What will bo tho result of Mr. Saffeo'svisit on tho peoplo will bo decided by Co-llector Magouo y probably.

It was so cold at one point, at least, that themercury froze In the thermometers, and at seviralpoints mercury was abandoned as a means of reg-istering, and tbo officials resorted to the spirittube. Even at Denver, sheltered as It Is, the ther-mometer registered 13 degrees below zero at tlo'clock. As u matter of eourse the Intensest de-
cree of cold was felt among the high points Intho mountains and among the mountain pusses. Atltoblnson, for Instant;, a few intles from Lead-vlll-
thu temperature waa si degrees below zero.Every thermometer froze tneruoment It was ex-posed. The next coldest point was Gunnison,wtitro the people shivered lu a temperature of 89degrees below zero. At Crested Butte the ther-mometer registered 8.1 degrees below; at MonarchIt waa .7, ltcd Cliff 80 and Westcllffe n. The onlywarm spot In the State was at Grand Junction,wbere the thermometer stood 14 degrees abovezero. In view of the Interna cold elsewhere thesefigures were suggestive ot the bubbling songs ofearly springtime

Dcnipsoy says by rights ho should have gotbut $02 out of tho Kcagan battlo money, asroportcd in The Woiild, but his backers in.creased tho sum most genorously. BothJako Sterns and his Western backer madehim fine monoy presents. Ho thinks nowthat for awhile ho can make moro cash givingsparring exhibitions than by fighting. Theconversation then shifted to excitement atfights, from a remark of The Wobld man ontho interruption of yesterday afternoon's" scrap" in llobokcu uotwoon LangdonandGabig. Dempsey told of two or throo excitabio persons ho knew, nud how ofton at tightsho would watch somo ono in tho audiencewho would clinch his handsl dodgo his headami mimic, entirely unconsciously, overy no-
tion of tho fighters before him.Tho sage of tho pugilistic corner then told
of once seeing clever old-tim- Goorge Siler,who used to box with Doonoy Harris, at oneof Sullivan's early fights in the Garden.Siler camo in lato, and managed to get up ona box behind tho ocean of excited spectators.Ho got wild with excitement, followed withhis own fists every motion of tho big fellow,und actually punched a big man in front ofhim behind tho ear. Siler was indignantwhon tho gentleman turned around and ac-cused tho boxer of striking him. He didn'thave any moro knowledgo of what ho haddone than ono has of his movomontswhenhehas walked iu his sleep.
Tho robust sago told another story, of thefight botween Sullivan and Tug Wilson.With somo friends ho occupied ono of thoboxes nearest to tho ring. A largo, well-bui-lt
Irishman at tho last moment requestedto bo holpcd up so ho could go and see somofriends in somo of tho rear seats. Of coursoit was out of tho question to try to go aroundby way of tho stairs in that throng, and hewas hoisted up. Then ho coolly insisted onoccupying a rear seat in the box. While thocontest was on ho did his shouting right inMr. Blank's ear. Mr. Blank was snouting asloudly as ho could himself, but would neverhavo known it savo for tho tremendous echoiu his loft ear. "Can't you shut up?" heasked twice of the bcliower behind him."No, I can't Why don't you?" was all thesatisfaction he got.
