The Cholera Scare.

New York. September 3.—Jersey City's fear of cholera is practically ended, and there is no further occasion for apprehension. No new suspected cases were discovered to day. Surgeon General Wyman of the United States Marine Service told Health Inspector Benjamin that he believed the disease had been stamped out. He doss not expect to hear of any new cases. The local authorities were in good spirits to-day. Dr. Herman Biggs of New York, who had made a bacteriological examination in the case of Mrs. Rhoda Black, a cholera suspect, reported that there were no indications of the disease at present. Mrs. BIack lived in a section of the city at West Berlin in which four persons died after enjoying a feast of crabs. While Dr. Biggs was making an examination of this case the house in which Mrs. Black lived was placed under quarantine. All restrictions were removed today and the quarantine in what is known as the "crab district" has been raised. The authorities are now satisfied that the members of the crab party did not die of cholera.
