BLACK CHOLERA.
' Hailing ' e .rl supposol to Have
Brought II llirr Fri in s,.n|n.
Halifax. N. S., Oi-tober *. Huntsville,
a lifle fishing hamlet of at>out two thou
sand |>«>o]do, located forty mile* from hme
by rail, has been suffering from the "black
cholera' apparently in its worst form the
past six w ok*. It so ms that Captain
Hunter, who commands the Ashing -mack
Kiirn Ann, was taken suddenly and tnyste
r; usly ill in the latter days of August. Hi.
malady puzzled the Tillage phv.icians
sorely. They had two consultations, but
did not fully make upthefr minds what the
disease was until after Captain liun
tei's death, which occurred within forty
eight hours of the time he was taker
il'. Half an hour after he died
1 Hunter’s body began to turn, and in a short
time was a dnrk-blm- all over. Thou a bur
riblo odor came from the corpse. By this
time the doctors agreed that "black rh >!
era" had lieeu his fatal trouble. Notw ith
standing this, however, they did not want
to communicate their discovery to the
townspeople for fear It would (frighten
them too hndiv. It Was ouly a few dnv«
le,fore Mrs. Hunter nndt her daughter,
I’heebe, were taken sick and died suddenly.
Then it was that the people first heard of
Captain Hunter’s death. His body
hail been buried quietly by the
Chysiciaus liefore any of the neiglitiors
new even that he was at home.
•Vft, r the death of the other members of
the family it was decided to conceal the
pn sence of the black cholera for fear that
the Ashing vessels w hich cruise the Bay of
Fundy nnd frequently put in through
Miners* Bay to Huntsville for a haven,
, *ud the trade would be driven elsewhere.
So it was that the disease w as allowed to
| feed and spread until now a case has ap
1 peared at Windsor, a large town nearer
] this city, and this afternoon it was rumored
that otic had been reported in Halifax itself.
| There have been thirty-two deaths from
j the “black cholera’’ iti llautsville since
i September 1, and it is feared that it has
been conveyed away toother points by the
[ Ashing craft, just ns Captain Hunter took
I it there. Where lie cot it nobody has any
idea except the half-witted mate, from
j whom it isos gleaned ti at the Captain had
been aboard a rakish Spanish craft Just
I from its home |iort. There is no doubt that
I the number of cases is rapidly increasing,
1 and thut the disease will commit terrible
ravages on the W«« tern I’eninsula unl< ss
| radical means a re taken to stump it out.
! 1 he people of that section are very hard
; *<> deal with in nay such trouble,
1 for they do not undeistand the value of
I sanitary restrictions, nnd will take every
possible m-nns to evade them. The form
I of the disease is tend I le. It is alw avs In*
| t • | in lortj -eight hours, and frequently on
j the same day. Almost tuuiedintely after
I deatli the tx>dy turns black, emits n horri
ble -t< nch, nnd has to « buried at once.
I here is considerable a in felt all along
the peninsula among people int-lllg«nt
j enough to understand the horrible mnlndy.
