It was stated some days ago in Tue Star that Sanitary Inspector yneral Gatcheil had caused warranis to be issued against some twenty-live butckers doing business in the Center mark the charge of selling blown, unsound anc wholesome meat. They appeared before the Police Court on Saturday to answer the charge, and as this is am interesting «abject to all who eat “sheep meat” or veal, it may be well to Geseribe the different modes of blowing meat, and the effects it is said to produce, as set the exam- forth in the testimony elicited duri: mation. When the animal is killed the body is yet warm, a steel is inserte: the suculder and rib, which penetrates inte the eavity of the stomach, and the legs are all premed outwards, collapsing the carcass as much as possible; the steel Is then withdrawn andthe legs are’ loosed at the same moment when they resume their nateral position. The air is drawn in at the aperture made by the steel in this manner, and all the cavities of the bodg.are filled. So far, this process is thought not to be injurious to the meat; bat whem the avimal killed is i a lean condition, it is ing @ quill or metallic the ineision made by the steel, lowing the breath throngh into the vities, it gives the meat a plamp ince which is calculated to deceive the Purchaser. The medical faculty assert that while the carcass of a sheep or cali thas slaaght ered and filled with air, is warm, the air is taken Up by the tissues and communicated to all parte of the animal, and that if the batcher or “blow- is an unhealthy man or di 1, that his breath contaminates the meat Tenders it seased and unhealthy. Whether althy lower or not, the practice is a disgustimg one, and shenld be stopped. This practice is said w Rave prevailed rot long ago among poultry deal- €:s, to give turkeys a plump appearance, and the stories told about it nearly finished up the poul- try business for a long time. This meat blowing is likely to gwove as disastrous to the batclers trade aé that did to the hueksters. The hen. pry in the several cases were all duly served aud returu made to the Police Court on Saturday last, as above stated. At 1 o’clock Pp. m. the accused parties all appeared. Their bames are as follows: Join Ferguson, Kengla, W. A. Munder, Robert Smith, Soneph Weyrick. James Green, G. R. Kaufman, W. T. Poore, George Cooper, S. S. Coggin, John Eggleston, J. J. Lightfoot, G. W. Yeabower, D. M. Lightfoot, L. Zeller, Brown, Warthen Bros, Theodore Burns, Henry Stevens, A. P. Homiller, F. E. Shoemaker, J. 4. Glick, W. F. Kengla, A. P. Emrich, and Jacob Apprich. ‘They were arraigned separately, the clerk read- ing cach charge to the accused, and each one pleading for himself. Most of them ploaded guilty to that part of the charge referriog to bewn meat, but denied that it was unsoged or unwbolesome. Mr. Hine, counsel for the defence, demurred tw the language of the charge ax set forth in the warggnts, and made a motion that all be quashed. ‘The Judge overruled the motion, and the case of Jobn Ferguson was called first. Mr. Munder, a meat iaspector under Mr. Gatchall, testified to going the rounds of the Center Market on the ith instant, in eompany with Mr. Gatchell and inspector Franklin, to examine the quality of the meats exposed for sale. Found half a carcass of a sheep wisich had been blown at Ferguson's stall. | Witness then t On to describe the several modes of blowing whiah, in his opinion, are injurious to the me meat, { FINANCES bc DISTRICT GOY- Message of the Governor. | The Temporary Half Million Loan and the Four Milivom Loan—The Debte of the Oid ton fication of the Laws—Asacssment for On Saturday afternoon Governor Cooke sub- mitted a meswage to the a Assom)ly, in Which he states that T the act of August lith, 187}, he “was authorized to anticipate the revenue of the District to the amount of five hundred thousand dollars by a temporary loan, the proceeds of which were to be disbursed for improvements and repairs,” &c. itis sug; turned to the District fund ceeds of the foar-million loan, In order that pay- ment may be made of the temporary loan when itshall become due, and that the requisite au- thority be given to the Auditor and Controller of the Dirtrict to reimburse the District treasury and to pay the loan. It is further earnestly re- cor d that the option be given to stipulate for the payment of interest semi-annually upon any authorized loan at the rate of six per cen: eT annum in gold, or seven per cent. per anni ncurrency; and that interest payments may be made at such place in the United States as may be selecte it is believed that the authority asked for will facilitate more especially the ne- gotiations of the four- loan and the loan for the new water-main. He refers to a Board of Commissioners of the Sinking Fund (Messrs. Corcoran, Sweeny, Kelly and Davis) having been appointed. They have carefully considered and investigated the condi- tion of the indebtedness of the old corporations of the District, and, in conjanction with the commission to audit, &c., have prepared a plan for the payment, at as earty a date As possible, of the floating Habilities of these corpurations, and for making provisiun for the interest and princi- pal of the funded and interest- be: Nees both ot the old and pew governmeut. plan re- ferred to ts coneurred in by both commissions, and bas been embodied in the form of a bill, as covering more succinctly than could be done otherwise the points suggested.

Doubts have arisen as to the ratio of assess- ment for certain special improvements con- re ae oe late cones of ington subject intment a1 qualification of the Board of Public Works. It would seem just and equitable, under the deci- sion of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, that all such improvements, as well as thost vy the Board of Public Works, should be assessed in accordance with the re- quirements of the Zith section of the organic act. f this view should meet your concurrence, cial [ots omen) to cover the District's pro- { portion will have te be made out of the general und. it bas been found.thatin some cases individ- ual property has bean compelled to bear more | than its just proportion of the burdens of im- | provement, and it is therefore recommended | that the Board of Pukiic works be empowered | to assesss the damage that may be caused to private property by spocial improvements; and calculated to debeive the ignorant. | also that an ac passed authorizing wo ‘This meat could be distinguished from others by | open alleys, whenever it may be portant to do in appearance. and any practical butcher knows | so, for the accommodation of ine public or in- it whenever bé sees it.

The testimony closed bere, and Mr. Hine ¢laimed that there was no case proven; that the butebers have resorted to this practice of blow- ing air between the skin and carcass in order to detach the skim more easily, aud without any injury to the meat; that the term “ blown meat in the law refers to fiy-blown meat which is Bnsonnd and unwholesome, and Gnaily the charge was too frivolous to take up the time of the court a moment. Mr. Miller, counsel for the District, reptied saying he had plenty of testimony yet to intro- duce which would show the deleterious effects of this digusting practice. The court reserved his decision until al! the cases are heard. —— Our Fire rtment. ITS CONDITION AND NEEDS. ‘The Board of Fire Commissioners in their co munication to Gov. Cooke, which be transmitted to the Legisiative Assembly on Saturday, refer to the recent terrible conflagration ia Chicago as a warning to other cities to provide every ble rafeguard against the occurrence of similar dis- asters within their borders, and then say: “ Our engines, as a general thing, are in good condi- tion, and our men, with few exceptions, zealous and active; but our yp ae 4 is spread ever a large area. This it all the more necemary that the means of communication be- tween the several engine-houses and the fire~ alarm stations should be as perfect as possible. The good results which ought to have followed | the passage ot the act consolidating the Fire Department of the two District cities cannot be realized until Georgetown is included in our of tire-alarm telegraphy. This is neces- for the saiety of both cities. The engine | getown—Henry Addicon, No. 5—is anex- ays in cclient one; but it is isolated from the Washing- ton department, andits usefulness, even on the West side of Rock Creek, impaired because rms can only reach the éngine-house by the id and clumsy devices which preceded the in- | and damages to property consequent upon the | widening of Aqueduct and ‘Bridge areas, in | the city of Georgetown. It ie recommended | that am appropriation be made in accordance | with its verdict as to damages and expenses. Hie refers to several appropriations having been found insufficient; renews the recommen. dations made in bis first communication to the Legislative Fy coeen | in regard toa Board of Charities and Corrections, and to the establish- ment of a system of compul and eompen- sated labor in the Appeopriate inatitutions. An examination of the condition of the emall- pox hospital has disclosed the fact that, beth as to ——— p~ th accommodations are entirely uate tothe per care aud treatment of patients. Humanity ana pradenes unite in demanding prompt ri lial legislation. It is hoped, in this connection, that all proper efforts of the Board of Health ¢e guard against this pestilence, and to place the District ina —e sanitary condition, wili receive the Suppo t of the necessary legislation, ie also transmits a communication from the Commissioners of the Fire Department, and in- vites attention to their suggestions.

The Governor has ordered work to be resumed on the new public school building at the corner of 12th and G streets southeast. It will be two stories high, with French roof, and will contain six sehoo! rooms. The members of the Board of Health held an informal meeting on Saturday evening, at which the subject of asking the Legislature to pass the bill presented at the last meeting of that body, in regard to vaccination, was discussed, and also the bill concerning iInterments.
