Sum- HOTKI., I*iUK ISLAND. N. Y., Sept. 1*J.—There has boon more excitement in the last twenty-four hours at Fire island than during the whole summer season. The sale of the place to the state for quarantine purposes has created a pre at hubbub amouy the people of the towns of Islip and Babylon, who predict all lcinds of dire calamities as the, result of landing passengers from vessels infected with cholera upon the beach.
A Vigorous Protest.
.Saturday ni^ht after the news was received that Gov. Flower had given orders to buy the island the board of health of the town of Islip, in which Fire island is, called a mass meeting of citizens of the town to protest against landing of passengers at any place within the town jurisdiction. SuiTollc hall, where the meeting was held, was crowded when Supervisor W. 11. Young, the president of the board of health, called it ID order. Speeches were made by the many prominent residents, who denounced the proposed use of the island, predicting great injury to the property adjoining and the ruin of the oyster and fish industries of tlie groat south bay. A committee consisting of Supervisor Young, Justice Clerks Studley, O'lirien and Howell, Dr. W. A. Halter and .1. »S. Gilbert, constituting a board of health, was appointed to go to Fire island with twenty deputy constables to protest against the use of the island for quarantine purposes, and resist the landing of passengers. They left in sailboats late at night, arriving there ill the morning.
M»l« Scrimi* Threats.
When President Charles W. Wilson and Dr. Cyrus Kdson, of the New York board of health, who had come to IJabylon by a special train, arrived they were quickly surrounded by the deputies, who made demonstrations against D. S. Sammis. owner of Fire island, making all kinds of threats against him for selling it. President Wilson informed Mr. Sammis that Gov. Flower had authorized the purchase for vJ111.000, and that he had a certified check for ?."0,000 to pay as soon as the papers were sigued. Mr. Sammis then turned it over to President Wilson, as the representative of Health Oflieer Jenkins, all the guests and most of the servants having left Saturday afternoon. When President Wilson appeared about 10 o'clock Sunday morning after breakfast the loeal board of health ami 100 others from the mainland—mostly men and boys— made demonstrations, using threats against the slate. Mr. and everybody concerned. ouer W. H. Moore, of Bay continally harrangued them. o'clock President Wilson met tho board of health, explained all the circumstances of the purchase and the intended use of the island. Supervisor Young and Dr. Baker stated that it would ruin property and industries and endanger the health of the. adjoining communities, and asserted that the local board of jurisdiction was para mount to the slate board and would resist any attempt to land passengers. lilil iicflimce to (io\*. i'louer*
Affairs are assuming a serious aspect. The sympathizers of the loeal bourd of health have been considering the feasibility of cutting off nil telegraphic communication between File island and the city. The men from Islip and other points on the main shore appear to have decided to bid defiaiiec both to the bidding of Gov. Flower and the instructions of thesta'e board of health. Tlioy seem to have become utterly lawless as well as reekless. As it grew dark men who had been concealed in the shadows of outbuildings began to move about more freely, as if they were certain of concealing their identity. Pickets wero posted and a regular system of signals were arranged. There was no telling the exact number of men thus engaged on the island, but there certainly could not have been fewer than lifty, and there may have been double that number.
MUcry of the Passengers*
NEW YOHK, Sept. 12.—The much distressed cabin passengers of the Normannin are in trouble: that of a most serious if not perilous kind. Between the guns of an armed and fear-crazed body of men and the privilege of being confined on a boisterous night on a comparatively small steamer without provisions either for sleeping or eating, their condition has reached the climax of its misery. The 471 first and second cabin passengers who started Sunday afternoon on the Ceplieus for Fire island were compelled to return without landing and pass the night on that boat. The l.'epheus arrived at Fire island at 7:15. On Fire island were K'O armed deputy health '"otlicers from tho town of Islip. These men Wore there to prevent the landing of the Normannia's refugees. Tin: pilot had been intimidated: he feared for his life and his position. After hovering about the bar long enough to make certain that it was to get no pilot the Ceplieus turned about and started hack. tJuv, Mowor on tho W:ty.
NKW YOKK, Sept. li—Dr. Jenkins having received word of opposition be lug threatened by Hie residents of Babylon to the Ian.ling of the detained passengers at Fire island, telegraphed Oov. Flower requesting him to notify Dr. Balch to proi-ci'd witli the landing under the direction of that executive. L»U)r in the ev,'tii!ir the governor re plied that the landing b" done regardlobs of the people of Babylon, and no
tifying Dr. Jenkins that ho would bo at the Windsor hotel this morning. The governor left Watertown at 10:80 I. in.

The numbfir of new cases nnd deaths are not large, the Seandia being the only one to present further developments. Marie Janowitz, aged years, whose mother accompanied her ashore to the island Anna Olsen, aged 8, und Malke Merske, aged 18 years, were taken ill Sunday and removed to Swinburne island. There was only one death, that of Theodore Olseu, a B-year-old child, who was taken ill at 0 o'clock Sunday morning and died at 8. There was another death on board the Seandia, but it was not from cholera, Marzinia Bursa, a nursing infant, being taken off by marasmus. linmlKTlliitH Held nt Detrult.
DETUOIT, Mich., Sept. li!.—Fifty or sixty immigrants who arrived at Windsor, Ont., Sunday over the Canadian Pacific railway from Quebec are held there to await the decision of the Detroit health officials as to whether they can enter this city. They arrived at Quebec Friday, where they were inspected by the health ollicials and fumigated. Certificates to this effect were furnished them. Government Inspector Mullierou has decided to have them held at Windsor, pending a conference with the health authorities to-day. The sixty immigrants who were stopped at the border Friday night have been released from quarantine b.y the decision of Dr. Frank Wells, of the board of health. He says the quarantine restrictions apply only to those immigrants entering America by a Canadian port. These Immigrants came through New York harbor. This release brings the state and local boards into eonllict Health Oilieer Duflield says that uuder no consideration can these immigrants pass the river except by the decision of the loeal board of health. The local board has supreme authority and the state board could at best merely recommend. It was the loeal board that had to act. (irowlufi Wnrpt In Hnmburj

Detained a few minutes at Charleston, where the Kitehhnrg crosses the tracks of the lnston iV'. Maine it reached the crossover two or three minutes late raid there waiUd for an inward bound pas^engiir train to puss on the nmin line before switching over to the brunch. The conductor knowing that a freight was coming np in the rear *ent a brakeinun back with a red lantern. The frig was thick and the engineer of the freight asserts that- he saw no danger signal. .lust before the freight reached the braUeman, the inward passenger train having thun dered by, the ontwaid train sounded the recall to the brakeman and began to move toward the cross-over track to the branch. All the cars had eiosscd over except the rear one. when there was a short blast for down brakes from the engine of the freight in the rear and an instant later crash. The engineer of the freight saw the danger too late to avoid the accident. His big engine plowed its way through nearly the whole length of the rear coach and passengers were crushed beneath it or jammed In between the sides of the car and the engine's hot boiler.
