Mr. Henry Himber said the Board of Public Works are stopping the public works by reason of the investigation betore Congress, brought about by the memorialiets. [t was a wicked and malicious scheme of the injunctionists to ruin the credit of the District government, and de- Prive Isboring men of work and wages. The workingmen now propose to have a committee appointed from their numbers to go before the Congress committee and present a memorial arking that the investigation be conciuded as spcedlt yy them, and nothing ag: inst the Boardot Pub- Ne Works could be found if they sit until dovms Richard Brown offered a resolution recom- mending the appoirtment of a committee ot one from each district to wait npon Hon.

Editor Star -—Your reference yesterday to the terrible cases of spotted fever in the United States im consequence of which four in one family died within as many days, causes serious Tetlections as tothe perilsof many families in this city. There is not a city on the giobe probably, where there is such utter recklessness as te the drains and sewer connections from our dwell- ings. The past eummer & whole block of genteel bricks, with «* modern conveniences,” was erected on & prominent street, and in not one of these houses did the plumber insert a | “stench-trap” from bath-tub or basin, but led his waste-pipes straight to the sewer. The foul oders permeating these houses are terrible now; what will oy, bein hot weather? We have a Board of Health anda building commission. and no one sees to these things. There ought to be an inspection of every house drain and sewer in the city by some one, and before hot weather. Washington ‘ought to be one of the most health- ‘ul cities in the Union, and if its citizens really | desire its growth they must abate these certain breeders of pestilence. Another novelty worthy the attention of the Board of Health, is a quarter-acre pig-sty, not ten rods from the Baltimore and Ohio depot, on rth Capito! street street, and right under the shadow of the Senate flag—its foul stench greet- ing the nose of every visitor to the nation’s Capital as soon as they disembark from the cars, Heaurn. ~ = AnovT Garnace.— Mr. Editor: What shall Ido with my ashes and kitchen garbage?” has assumed alarming proportions, rivalling the vexed Alabama claims mm fa matter of personal interest.

Sap AcctvENT—Another Victim of Dangerous Oils —We are pained to record the death, at bali-past nine o'clock this morning, of Martha, daughter of Louis Frenzel, photographer, at the corner of Washington and Bridge streets, from the effects of burns received last night from the bursting or breaking of a coal oil lamp. It seems that three children of Mr. Frenzel were playing in a room abont eight o'clock last evening, when Martha, the eld-st, aged six years, attempted to remove the lamp, which was on the stove hearth, and which the ‘amily say contained “petroleum fluid,” (what= ever that may be,) when it exploded, settin, fire toher dress. “Alarmed by the screams o the children, their parents rushed to the room to find the clothing of Martha on fire and the room burning at different points where tha dan- gerous fluid bad been thrown by the force of the explosion. Seizing the bed clothing they enveloped the little girl with it and extingwished the flames, but not until she had been terribly burned. br. Southworth was immediately sent for, and on his arrival did ali he could to re- lieve the little sufferer, whese whole body had been burned almost to & crisp, and whose face, especially, was so swollen that she was unable to see. Dts, Southworth and Tyler held a con- sultation early this morning, and notified the family that there was no hope, and at haif-past e o'clock she died in terrible agony. ‘the parents of the child do not know exactiy how the accident oceurred, but believe that the hot- tom of the lamp fell out, or that it was exploded by suddenly lifting it up from the stove hearth. ‘Tue WaTER Surp.y.—KResidents of the city south of 2d street, who were cut off from w: yesterday, owing to the accident to the twel uch main at College pond on Wednesday night, received their usual supply to-day, the niain having been repaired yesterday.
