Cholera Scourge Strikes Families in New York Districts
Police find multiple families exposed to cholera after severe storms. One dead child and two gravely ill parents removed to the Almshouse. Others, including a gardener and his wife, are found dying or dead in crowded shanties. Reports compare city mortality to past outbreaks and note steep weekly death totals. The piece also covers European news, ship arrivals, and local public health concerns.
