Pamela, .J. McKaos, .13.

Above are given the Health Officers
of the Town and Borough. They are
not men-deVoid of human sympathy Or
a due senseof oiiicial responsibility, in
the face of a grave danger. Yet the
charges made by Dr. Tracey, if true
in any degree, as they unquestionably
are, go to show that our officials have
grown at least careless and indifferent
in a measure, no doubt, by reason of
our past good fortune in an almost to-
tal exemption from anything like a
spread‘of contagious diseases, here in
Norwalk. The good/ health and the
low rate of mortality, in Norwalk, are
prbverbial. But eternal vigilance is

 

as of liberty. On the first outbreak
of that dire and extremely contagious
malady, diphtheria, every possible
efi'ort shouldhava been put forth' to
stamp it out. Yet nothing effective was
done and instead cf one case, the town
now has four additional ones, and as
scores of persons have been exposed to
the fearful contagion, no one can fore-
tell where it is to be arrested.

Warden Sloan acted with commenda-
ble promptness as soon as he heard of
the . outbreak and ordered borough,
health officer McKeon to at once in-
spect the infected premises and they
were immediately policed. Yet to this
date, Dr. Tracey charges that no really
effective measures of sanitation have
been resorted to, to stamp out the con-
tagion. The Doctor makes this far
graver charge. He assures the GA-
za'r'rn that in no case, during his prac-
tice in Norwalk, has he neglected to
give immediate notice to the proper
health officials of‘a contagious disease
patient, yetin no. single‘instance has
he ever known any attention to be paid
to such notice. This is certainly a good

habit of neglect.

 

, * POSTSCBIPT.

The attention, of " the Gsznrrn is
called toSec. 12 of Chapter CGXLVIII
of laws passed at the lastiL'egislature,
which makes it a question, whether
there are any such things as Town?
Boards of Health existing anywhere in
Connecticut. . The language of the
statute is as follows : .

_“ All town boards of health shall be
abolished when this act takes effect."
The act was approved June 30, 1898.

Terrible Diphtheria.
“Norwalk is threatened with an epidemic of.
diphtheria. numerous cases having appeared.’
We copy the above paragraph from
the New Canaan Messenger of this
morning, where it appears as the first
article under its editorial head. The

most serious fact connected with the .

subject is its lamentable truth. Dr.
Tracey called on the Gamma yester-
day and made statements showing that
our alleged Board of Health, Or other
officials, are most culpably at fault for
this condition. of very grave danger.-
Dr. Tracey states, that on being called
to the first diphtheretic case, that of
the Kennedy boy, in Clark street, (in
rearv‘of Grumman'Bros; store on Main
street,) he at once " sent his official no-.
tice, as required. by law, to the.secre-
tary of the Norwalk Board of Health.
He furthermore personally called upon
the said Secretary, and described to
him the terribly unsanitary condition

it proved, fatally ill Lwith 'malignantf

other children, as yet untouched. with
the disease. These he ordered imme-
diately removed. He found that, for
some thirty-six hours afterwards, no
attention had been given the place by

the Board of (Health, when he went ‘

himself to a drug store in town and
purchased disinfectants for the house,
as he had bought medicines for the
sick child, the parents being unable to
buy either. The poor family mean,-
time, in violation of his orders, had
been forced to go out and in, and other.
people had been permitted to visit the
Stricken home. The Dr. finally got
the. three younger children taken to
their grandmother’s home on Main
street ; but the isolation from the-dying
boy was. not made in tinieto save the

and the next he knew, the two'eldest
of these three children thus removed,
were taken down at the house of Mrs.
Ryan, their grandmother. Even then,
Dr. Tracey felt sure he could save the
youngest child, and so ordered the
grandparent to return the two sick
children'back to their home on Clark
street, where the oldest boy had died,
and to keep the youngest and still well
child, with;her. From ignorance rather
than brutality,it is supposed, the grand-
mother bundled ad the well two-year-
old child, with the sick children, back
to thepest-house on Clark street. The
result was recorded in yesterday’s GA-

is feared, fatally ill with the scourge;
and worse than that, the grandmother,
Mrs. Ryan, was yesterday morning
taken down with a serious attack of
the pestilence, and only the day before,
or on Thursday, went to a house full of
children on Main street, anddid the
family wash there. Dr. Tracey states
that he early called on a Town officer,
who is also a member of the Board of
Health, and entreated him to have this
twO-year-old child put in some place of
safety, either by the Town or Board of
Health, but the only interest he could
awaken in that official, was the reply
that if be, Dr. Tracey, would hunt up
some suitable place, where the child
would be taken in and cared for, the
bill therefor should be settled by the
town. Dr. Tracey says be naturally
thought that as he was giving all his
professional services to these afllicted
ones, and purchasing the needed medi-
cines besides, without a hope of recom-
pense, he could but think the reception
his mission of mercy and humanity re.-
ceived, was, to state it mildly. both
very indifferent and unfeeling.

Dr. Tracey has two more diphtheria
cases at Cobble Hill. He gave prompt
official notice to the Secretary of the
Board of Health, as to these cases also,
but so far as he can learn, nothing has
been done to prevent the spread of
the contagion in either locality, further
than placing a police guard in the vicin-
ity for certain houses, to warn visitors
against entering upon the premises.
In all these plague spots, the worst pos-
sible sanitary conditions exist, the Doc-
tor charges. yet no attempts a purifi-‘
cation, or destruction of the? isease
breeding ’gerins havé‘been attempted by
any one connected with any branch of
our muncipal authorities. No wender
the people here voted 552 to 14, for a
City Charter.

THE KARAMANIA HELD.

Bile May Not Have Cholera Aboard, but He!
Passengers \Vlll Be Quarantined Un-
til All Doubts Are Removed.

 

NEW Yonn, Aug. 5. —Dr. Tallmadge
.boarded the Anchor line steamer Kara-
mania and inspected the passengers. All
are well. Dr. Jenkins has asked the quar—.
antine commissioners to send transfer
boats to take the passengers to the islands
in the lower bay, where they will be bathed
and washed. -

Dr. Jenkins says that while he can find
no evidence that cholera. exists or has
existed on the Karamnnia he deems the
circumstances sufficiently suspicious to
hold the vessel and passengers until all
doubts are removed. This morning ar-
rangements are being made to transfer the
passengers to the islands. The health of-
ficer will hold the steamer at least five
days. .

The fears of some persons that the clerks

from Italy and those to whom the'mail is
addressed are liable to contract cholera
and spread the disease throughout the
country were set at rest by Assistant Post-
master Gaylor, who said: , ‘

“All mails from Italy addressed to this
country are forwarded overland to Havre,
where they are disinfected and brought to

- this country by the steamers of the French
line. Vile never receive any malls by tramp
steamers from Italian-ports.

“During the plague last summer Dr.
Jenkins took extra precautions, and al-
though the mails had been disinfected in
France they were again- put through the
same course at quarantine. Ihavo never
heard of any contagious disease being
transmitted through the mails in this'
country.” '

He also advises his party to make no
nomination for United States senator, but
continue to stand for the election of United
States senators by the people. He advises.

his party to make prohibition and non-
