PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH. At a meeti of the Board of Health last evening, Mr. Marbury stated that the appro- priations made by the District Legislature would not be available until the ist of October ext, and had it not been for the monificence ress the beard would have to.stop opera- e was glad to Say that all the employes had been paid up to the ist of July. ‘The subject of SOAP-BOILING ESTABLISHMENTS within the city limits was discussed for some time, and,on motion of Dr. Bliss, the health officer was directed to make a tour of inspec- tion among them and report his views to the board, with such suggestions as he may deem proper; adopted. Dr. Cox, from the special committee to exam- ine and report on the subject of the REMOVAL OF NIGHT SOIL, read a lengthy report, in which he cendemnsthe present system in use in thiscity of buckets and carts, and recommends a new system adopted in some of the northern cities, the principle of which is a suction pump, with an air-tight tank for the reception of the fetid matter; or by the other popular method of hermetically sealed boxes, which a, be removed and re- placed after their contents have been emptied. The latter method is, perhaps, most easy of adaptation to the needs of thiseDistrict. In conclusion, the committee recommend the adoption by the board of the following or uance: “That from and atter — no part of the contents of any vault, sink, cesspool, except substances other than excrements soluble in or any accumulation of any offensive suid, Or semi-liquid substance or mate- rial, being in any excavation, cellar, or place within the limits of the cities of Washington or Georgetown, shall be removed therefrom, nor shall the same be transported through the streets or avenues of said cities unless and ex- cept the same be removed transported b means of sn air-tight apparatus, or in sue! other mode as shall prevent entirely the escape of any noxious or offensive odors therefrom, and only by a permit from the Board of Health ,of the District of Columbia.” Mr. Marbury moved that the report be laid on the table for tuture consideration, as it pro- posed radical changes in the present system, and if carried into eifect would inyolye con- siderable expense. Dr. Bliss thought the matter should be sub- mitted to the Governor for his views. He was of the opinion that the Board of Health should take the bull by the horns at once. He felt sat- isfied that the plans submitted were perfectly feasible, and they cannot be in too much haste to put them intooperation. He moved toamend the motion, that a committee be appointed to confer with the Governor on the subject; adopted, and the chair appointed as the com- mittee Dr. ox, Dr. Blise and Mr. Langston. Mr. Marbury, from the special committee to wait upon thé Governor to ascertain whether the Legislature lad made any provisions to pay tor the CLOTHING DESTROYED BY THE nOARD where small-pox was found to exist, stated that he had catled upon the Governor, and had been informed that no such provisions had been made. The report was adopted aud the com- mittee discharged. HOUSES CONDEMNED AS NUISANCES. Health Officer P. T. Keene submitted resolu- tions condemning frame house No. 21 Jackson alley, between Ist and North Capitol and G and H streets northeast; frame house No. 4i7 N street northwest; frame houses No. 129 end 131 New York avenue, between ist and 2d streets north- west, a8 nuisances, and he was directed to abate the same in accordance with law; atso, frama tenement houses southeast corner of 12th and Q streets northwest as nuisances, and their abate- ment was ordered. REPORTS OF THE HEALTH OPFIORR. Health Officer Keene submitted a statement of the small pox cases tor the month of June, showing 44 cases under the cognizance of the board, and 16 deaths; also, the numbor of nui- sances at 425; abated, 316; dead animals re- moved, 93. The po "s weekly report showed 63 animals impounded in that time. A comzounication was read from the health officer a that numerous complaints had been made in relation to the failure of the dead ani- mal cart to take away small dead animals from the streets and alleys, which are intolerable nuisances, : On motion of Dr. Bliss, it was ordered that the cartman be notified that he would be held responsible for such removals, and also for the removal of all condemned meats from the mar- ket houses and other places. THE SMALL POX SERVICE AROLISHED. Also, a communication from the heaith off cer recommending the abolishment of the sm: pox service and the sale of such property con- nected with this branch of the board as is of no further use, with the exception of one horse and one ambulance, which in his judgment is sutfi- cient for the ends of the office. A list of such articles as were recommended to be retainet was also submitted, with the inventory of the property. The recommendation was adopted. Adjourned. ae Pour Healthy Children ai a Birth! SIX OLIVE BRANCHES WITHIN TWO YEABS. Mrs. Harriet Baldwin, colored, the wife ot Kingsly Baldwin, colored laborer, residing at the corner of 3d and G streets southeast, was taken sick on Monday last, with reasonable hopes ot an Increase in the population.

Mr. Jerome Johnson submitted a preamble and resolution, which were adopted, that ‘in view of the fact that these series ef meetings are called by the colored citizens of the District of Columbia for the ex, purpose of bri: i Present managemen of our public schools, whereby common educa- tional advantages can be extended to the youth of this District without regard to color, there- fore no persons opposed to the objects set ferth in this sertes of meetings can be allowed to de- bate or discuss any question or questions that may come up for consideration.” CONGRESS IMPRESSED. ‘Wm. Brazil, the original, opposed the send- ing of a committee to wait on the President for any such teed or) che F it would do no good, as four hundred and fifty-two preachers had waited on the President to ask him to make Sayies J. Bowen Governor, and he didn’t hear worth a damn—it was no use. He offered a preamble and resolution, which were adopted, that ‘“‘as it is important ‘for the prosperity of our race that they should occupy an equal po- sition among the people of all nations, an‘ our children should not be taught in schools set apart for their education, as if they were untit to associate with others of corresponding age, who by accident of birth, under the present schoolmanagement, may give them privileges not ‘accorded to our children, fosterirg thus by public :dication, as it does in our achools, @ spirit of prejudice unworthy of the people of this free government; therefore, we earnestly impress upon the Congress of the United States that this great fountain of prejudice may be destroyed by the enactment of such laws aswill, in thefr execution, ee to our children that po- sition in the apenas schools of this District which is freely granted to the children of all other nations who find a home among us."

Greener as principal from the pre- paratory high school,” and endorsing the sald Greener. COUNCILMAN BROOKS DENOUNCED. Mr. Sidney Herbert took the floor, and stated ‘that the meeting was callea to denounce Mr. Brooks—he advocated making short work of him, and not get the school trustees mixed up in the matter. ¥ Mr. R.

It appears that some time since Augustus Gotthile rented the premises at the Corner above named, and sub let a portion to Augustus E. L. Keese, a notary public and, justice of the peace. Gotthile’ moved out, Jeaving Keese in possession, and the owner refased to acknowledge Keese as a tenant. Jus- tice Mills a few days since issued a writ of restitution in favor of owaer, but in conse- quence of Keese promising to apply for an in- junction the service of the writ was delayed. ‘This morning, however, Constable Heury Lacy procceded to the office and set the furniture out, and in the meantime the justice got posses- sion of the key. While the constable was so engaged Keese went off and issued a warrant against Lacy, charging him with threats, and Officer Burns took Lacy into custody, and he was taken to the police court where a nolle pros was entered. —_4—_——— ORDERS OF THE BoaRp oF PvBLto Work: The grading of alley in square No. 115, betwee: M and N and 19th and 20th streets, was ordered by the Board of Public Works to-d; also, the grading of M street, from 18th to 2Ist; the pa- ving of I street, from 10th to 11th, northwes’, with asphalt; the grading of O street, from 15th to 16th; and the grading, resetting curb, relay- ing footwalks and narrow roadway of P street, from 11th to lith, northwest.
