Ciiicaoo, Sept 10. It looks though cholera had trained foot hold in this city. Shortly before 1 o'clock thin morning four car loads of Immi grants arrived at the Union Depot frum Bivcedcn by way of New York and Pittsburg. The train came here with a clean bill of health, but the authnrl l'e" MMCTOtl'at one of the number, died at was afflicted wil" Aiuertiua L.ron; is yeaofaB ewi semi conscious condition when the train pulled depot and physician, at once or nt to hm Thirty fifth 9 re 1,1,0 WM 10 I On the way to the house she relapsed ln, nd her to the county hospital.

'1 he party to which tha drjul woman belonged left for Sweden, August 19, and sailed for Liv erpool August ST in the Lord Liough, coining is Known of the quarantine regulations that were enforced at New York. The body of the dead wnmi.ii was adinitU! to the county morgue and placed in a separate room. Tim clothing was fumigsU'd and deposited with it.

Th died of exhaustion. I am satisfied In my own mind that the case ia not one of cholera though the symptoms may uavc soinewnai rescmiMea those of cholera." "Inspector Hoyt used his earliust and most strenuous efforts to counteract the feeling of alarm that spread as the newspapers were eagerly bought on the street corners.

Extra editions were everywhere for sale and in most cases the dreao cholera was siiuonuceu wunoui quauucalion or re serve. At an hour before most people are astir (Ifllcer Hoyt was busy at his telephone sending assurnncesby various directions that it was hi i positive be lief that the woman had not died of cholera. He at once gave the cause of acatn as exnaustion and this statement was later conhrtned by Dr. (iarrett, an expert in contagious and infectious di seases. 1 be latter was again at the morgue this morning to make a more thorough and extended examination After the examination' Dr.

Oarrett said: "1 have carefully examined Al bertina Larson's body. I can now sar positively that the woman did not die of cholera. The body, was 'perfectly dry which beyond all questions dis proves, the theory of cholera. I am been tli6'eniseuol arain 'xitti. Ji solulely no reason to suppose it was and no grounds to suspect ic one aieu of exhaustion, consequent upon her long journey, together with weakness, the result of bad food.

All the food she had had in several days was brought from tlermany and it was of the roughest and coursest kind. Those two things caused the death, and I have no hesitancy In saying so. It was not cholera." There were forty five immigrants. In cluding the dead girl, on the train, mostly Swccillsh. The majority were bound for points In the Northwest only ten having their final destination in Chicago.

After detention for some time in the immigrant room at the Union Depot those Immigrants who were to proceed on their journey by the morning trains were allowed to go. The remainder are to proceed tonight. IM SKW TORK. Nkw York. Sept 10.
