OHAPTER IIL TFilthy, odorous, and pest-broeding stroots are Largoly responsiblo for the groator portlon of tho 10,158 doaths roported for the yoor 1872, That must have boon tho geueral vordiot of those stho bave read tho description of somo of the stroots of tho Soventh, Eighth, and Ninth Wards published in yostordsy's Tarouxs. Bat, bad s that datrict is, thore are still others thal aro ac- cosagries, if mot oqually responsible, for thia wholesalo slsughtor. Tho distriots describod yostorday were given tho' proforonco, becauso thoy aro situated in tho vory hoart of tho city, and aro tho most donecly populatod. That those streots havo no sowors is unpardonablo, if not criminal. There aro still otuer distriols, tho denth-rate of which is equally large, if not Jargor,than thut of tho districts describod yestor- doy; bus they ara farthor out of the way, and not s donsoly populated na thoso mentionod. It will bo obeerved by looking st the sewerage map published with our first articlo, that all tho Wards showing a Jarge death-ratelio within that partof tho city which, on tho map, is shaded as 1ow nnd marshy ground. One of the lowost, a8 woll as unhonlthiest, wards ie the Bixth, which includes all the torritory wost of Clark and south of Miwonty-second stroet. Itis the southwest corner of tho city, and embraces within its limits the woll-known, much-abused Bridgoport. By taking & walk through tho ward, atter on- toring it ot tho corner of Clark streot and Archor avenue, tho first stroet reachod deserving special montion is Elgin, which Las latoly beon sow- orod, but, as tho houses arg unconneotod with tho drain, tho stroot, or alloy, for it is only 44 feot wide, i in o horrible" condition, and all tho yards and lota aro vory iilthy. Heaps of garbage are lying in the middle of the ptroot, broeding disesse in tho hot sun, while ‘mountains of manuro docorate tho yards. The odlors arising from this conglomeration of filth, mix with the fumes and gases escaping from the chemienl works of Mahlor & Chappel, on Btowart avonuo, between Elgin and Twontieth stroots, which combination of emellscroatos & stench in which that of sulphur groatly pro- dominates, improssing ono with tho idon that hero is tho shaft leading down to the rogious of His Satanio Majesty, and this improssion is far- thorstrengthionod by the sight of hoaps of sulphur focing tho streot. How unbealthy these fumes aromay bo imagined -from tho fuct that all the large trocs within a radius of 100 yards of theso works havo boon killed, the black trunks of which aro still stauding, like ghastly epoctres, looking upon Elgin streot as if to warn tho inhabitants to shun and loovo this place of pestilenco aud doath, whore treos cannnt oxist, much loss human beinga. Grovo is anothor stroot that ia lifting up daily it odorous voice in supplication to bo cleuned, ‘but without avail, probably bocsusoe tho Alton & Bt. Louis Roilroad runs through it, and is ex- pected to carry all tho sweot aromos arising therefrom to our neighbor on the Missizsippi. Calking & Fisher's lumbor-steaming establish- ment, on this streot, is surrounded by dark, brown pools of slaguant wator, which escapos from their bollers, and has no other outlot ox- copt to run undor tho neighboring housos, whero it bocomos stagnant ond filthy, foreing sicknoss and death into tho homes of those that aro com- polled to liva thore. Whilo the reporter and tho sapitary police- man that was accompanying him wore measur- ing tho dopth of the wator which Lind collected ander ono of thoso houtes, un old womap, hag- jgard and yorn, camo out of her door and asked, @ Aro yo tho men to seo that thero is somothing done forus? On being answered in the aflir- mative, the poor woman, with tears in lier eyes, exclaimod : _* God blees yo and yor families for this. Two children I hava already lost, snd tho yost of us will soon follow them'If nothing is dono forus.” The reporter and tho parly ac- companying bim assured tho poor woman that somothing should bs done for hor. A fow yards south of this placo 1a & largo va- cant lot, which in filled to overflowing with stag- nent water, This is caused by o louk in the waterpips benoath the railroad traclk, snd ns the railrond company objects to having its track torn up, which hins to - be dong, 10 ropair the leak, tho water is allowed to ovor- flow and inundate tho surrounding proporty, though much damage is dono thereby. Undor tho sidewalk on the northeast cornor of Archier svenue and Grove streots thora cau b observed such & sink of iniquity the like of whioh human eye has nover 6col nor nose turn- ed up at, since tho croation of tho world, To stand ton minutos before this pool makos ono's nostrils curl with o susplcion of his own decay, It neods only to bo moutionod that this pauthu?e is oceaslonod by the overflowing of nuiborless water-closots that abound under the sidowalk And mo ona will over horoafter pass that spok without holding his or hor noso. ‘Overpowered and sickoned by tho polson, ono Joaves this nauscnting epot” to Inhale s fow whiffs of fresh air on tho bridge. But what is this? Instead of froshair an avomn of death is fnbaled. Wondering what this can be, one looks around, but nothing unusunl meets our oyo, uutil at lnst it droops down and looks upon tho @nrk chosm for bolow.

Thero is, howover, & doubt with rogard to its being Aelatio oholora. This disonso, whatevor it is, is gradu- olly making ita apponranco further north. At Now Orleans, at this timo, it is abating, as for tho wook onding Juno 16, only threo denths oc- curred from .eporadio cholors and two from cholors morbus. Two of tho casos roported s sporadie cholora aro doubtod.’ At tho lagt mooting of tho Board of Honlth, a tho sower is_dumped iuto a doep, square holo in the contra of the lot, which ia partinlly covered up with bonrds, over which {a sproad & thin layor of oarlh, From this holo a stench arises strongor and far moro_deadly than suy of thoso horotoforo deseribed. Wobster's Dictionary doos not contnin an oxprossion adoquate to convey {ho 1doa of tho odor avising from this chnsm of decomponed guts, and the soonor tho authoritios liavo this nuikanco abetod and tha holo filled up with oarth, the bettor it will bo for tho health of the ontire city. Noxt comes Schnolder & Co.'s tallow factory, which algo Iargely contributes to the conglom- oration of filth in Ogden 8lip. Tho ecatablish< ment 18 kept tolerably clean, but yob tho odors arising thorofrom arc vory noxious indoed, thero placos, and many othors of smulior dogreo, 244 to tho filthy condition of Ogdon Hlip.

Thore aro at leant two foot of filth and manure on the floors, and how it smells can bo imagined from the fact that from 500 to 1,000 hogs tako daily ablutions in this morass, In tho yard standsa larga tapk fall of clotted blood, livers, and on- trails, all of which aro in tho highost stato of do- composition. This tank, by actuul mesuremont, is ton foot doop. Not far from thio placo ia D. Kreigh's boof and pork packing Louso. Although Lhis place is in o tolerable gaud condition ay far ay cleauli- noes in concorned, yot its oxistouco ismade known Dy the all-porvading odor. - Now -comos a place still worso than Ogdon Blip. Worao than that? tho roador will agk. Yes | tonfold worse ! It is the justly-celobruted Henley Blough, whoso geographical position is hardly unknown to the publi¢, aud which should have boen filled up long ago. It originates with the Chicsgo River, oud runs south sbout ono mile, and in no place is tho watoer over two fect deop, but tho softmud undor tho watorun- doubtedly reachen down to China, as no human being ever yot found bottom.
