Dr. Chickering addressed the meeting on the fubject of the Alliance, and was followed by Dr Sunderiand, who spoke of the results expected from the Alitance. Dr. Tiffany said that letters of recognition would be prepared to the many sources of friendly aid extended to the Alliance. There Were one hundred and cighty forelgn delegates and ninety others. The Metropolitan branch of the Alliance invited and entertained all the foreign delegates, and Mr. Cake, the gentle- manly proprietor of Willard’s hotel, entertained ail the visitors at the reduced rates given to the Alliance.

SENTENCE OF TWO YRAES IN THE TrARY. In the Criminal Court, Judge MacArthur, this morning, Michael Kane, convicte! on the ‘24th of September of manslaughter in having killed his brother, John Kane, in March last, was brought up for sentence. Mr. Hine, the coun- fel for the prisoner, called the attention of the court to the fact that the jury had recommended the prisoner to the mercy of the court, and also stated that all the jurors had signed a petition for bis pardon, and in a few days he would ap- peal tothe President for executive clemency. ‘he prisoner having stated to the court that bis counse! had said all that was necessary, he was sentenced by Judge’MacArthur to two years in the penitentiary, the judge remarking that he hoped that he would not again allow his passion to get the better of him. ta Tee Boar or Fine Commissroners met last evening, and Superintendent Miles, of the fire-alarm telegraph, submitted an estimate of the cost of necessary temporary repairs to the wires, footing up $100. The estimate was re- ferred to the committee on fire-alarm telegraph who, through the chairman, Mr. Collins, rec- ommended that the board authorize the super- intendent to proceed with the work, and the authority was given by the board. Mr. Morgan offered a resolution, which was adopted, mnvit- ing the officers of the fire insurance companies Of the District of Columbia to be present at the convention of the fire departments of the United States to be held in the city ot Baltimore on the ‘20th inst. Also, a resolution, which was adopt- ed, that all the old material of the department now on hand be sold at auction. President ‘Williams and Mr. McDevitt, of the board, and the chief engineer and assistant chief engineer, were appointed a committee to solicit subscrip- | tions for the entertainment of members of the fire convention at Baltimore who will visit this mext week, and to make all the necessary ar- rangements for such entertainment.

On investi- | gating the matter, he discovered that some six | Weeks ago a young girl, who has neither father | bor mother, was admitted to the house by the proprietress for the purpose of confinement, and | that about a month since she gave birth to twins, a midwife being the attendant, instead of apbysician. The birth was premature, and on Tuesday last one of the twins died, and the other on Thursday last. The midwife neglected to leave a certificate of burial. and the under- taker declined to bury them without it, and in conseuence the bodies were not interred. Ar- rangements were made for the burial to-day. —- PENITEN- Mrs. Srexcer ty Tue Woman's Conxcress. At the women’s congress in New York, on ‘Werinesday, Mrs. Sara .J.

THE TROUBLE WITH THE SCAVENGEES—PRO- POSED NATIONAL SANITARY CONVENTION— THE MORTUARY REPORT, ETC. At a meeting of the Board of Health last night. the report of the heath officer was read. detailing bis action with the scavengers and the trouble they had given the health officer the Lrevious night. and stating tha tognard against further annoyance he had obtained of Major Kichards the services of two policemen to each | of the wharves ot depesit, and had placed new locks on the gates, #0 that no dumping could be adopted. ‘The secretary suggested that as the Governor had revoked the commissions of the scavengers, the attorney to the beard be instructed not to push the cases against them unless further tronble be given. NATIONAL HEALTH CONVENTION. Dr. Cox, from the committee on correspond- ence, submitted the form of a circular which he had drawn up to be forwarded to the different health boards and sanitarians throughout the country, mviting them to assemble in conven- tion in Washington, on the 2ist day of January, Isr; adopted. [One of the objects of the pra- posed convention is to take action towards the establishment of a government sanitary bureau and procure Congressional legislation to this end.) The committee were instructed to have the necessary number of copies printed for use of the board. SANITARY STATISTICS. Dr. Cox submitted a resolution, which was adopted, ‘that suitable means be employed to ascertain the precise number of inhabitants, white and colored, of all ages, in each and every election district in Washington and Georgetown, together with an exact monthly statement of the namber of births and deaths, also the canses of the latter, and any other points of sanitary interest peculisr to said District, whether as re spects the geological features, style of buildin habits of residents, generai and particular nui- sances, or other causes likely to affect injuri- ovsly the public health; that the sanitary com- mittee be instructed to report to the board, at its next meeting, the best mode of accomplish- ing, at the least expense, the desirable object.” nsnpport of the resolution, he said the ob- igets were not so much with reference to put- fing this work into immediate execution as to place before the public the fact that the Board of Health are alive to the duties for which they were appointed, and having succes-fully con- queret the greatest of nuisances, namely, the night soil nuisance, they were now determined to grapple in detail with all others. The mor- tuary report was of the greatest importance, and he thought Congress would aid them by cial appropriation, as the low state of their finances will not warrant them in undertaking to carry out the proposed plan at present. He also submitted a resolution calling upon the Board of Public Works to furnish a full de- scription of the present system of sewerage in the District, with such changes and improve- ments as are proposed; adopted. NEW AEALTH OFFICE. Dr. Bliss submitted a report, which was adopted, that the sanitary committee be author- ized to procure suitable places for the accom- medation of the health office. Dr. Cox stated that it was his purpose to fit up the premises where they now meet for his own private use. The resolntion was adopted. Dr. Cox said in reference to the action of the board with the scayengers substituting the new for the old bucket system, that he had no un- kind feelings to anyof the scavengers. They had acted hastily the night previous in under- taking to run their carts, but they were no donbt acting honestly. He thonght the board had good cause to congratulate itself that this greatest of nuisance had been abated, and the | change brought about with so little difficnity. And as the governor of the District had revoked the commissions of the scavengers they will no doubt yield to authority and interpose no farther objections to the change. While up he desired to express his acknowledgements to Governor Shepherd for the prompt and hearty coopera- tion given the board in the inauguration of this great sanitary reformation in this city. pile ab TRE LAW DEPARTMENT of the National Uni- versity has been removed from Juiiciary square to their new and spacious hall, No. 425 ith street, near the Post Otfice. This change of locality became necessary to accommodate the constantly increasing number of studen entering that department. The post graduate course, which was established last year and at- ded with so great success, will be opened on Monday evening by Professor MacArthur, to be followed on Thursday evening by Vice Chat- cellor Wedgwootl. Professor Casey will de- liver several lectures in the course. The pro- fessors will be assisted by a number of the most prominent members of the bar. This course of instruction is introducing a new feature into our law schools. All the pleadings in every imagin- able case, both inlaw and equity, are drawn under the direction of one of the professors, and complete and perfect copies retained by each student. With these forms in his posses- sion the young lawyer is always ready for every case which may arise in his practice. If he knows how to draw a good pleading he cannot be ignorant of the law governing the case. paseaoll aa A Mewento or War Times Dastroyep BY Fine.—About 12o’clock iast night, an alarm was turned in from box 48 on account of the dis covery of flames issuing from the large frame building on the triangular space, between Con- necticut avenue and Ith street, and south of the P street cirele. Owing to the combustible nature of the material, the flames soon spread, and a general alarm was shortly after turned in, but the efforts of the fire de- partment were useless, notwithstanding the determined manner in which they worked and the promptness with which they were on the ground. ‘The building was erected by the gen- eral government during the late “onpleasant- ness” for a stable. and after the war was pur- chased by Dr. A. P. Fardon. He had stored in it lumber for the construction of three houses, and his loss is about $00; no insurance. The building was evidently set on fire, and Dr. Far- gon, in an advertisement in to-day’s Stan, offers $5 reward for the capture and conviction of the incendiary. a Days oF Praver—To-morrow and Monday will be very generally observed throughout the world as days of prayer in behalf of Sundi School work. The recommendation for the o servance of these days emanates from the Lo: don Sunday Schoo! Union,and has been heartily seconded by similar organizations in this and other countries. The following order is recom- mended: On Sabbath morning between i and s o'clock all teachers to engage in private prayer for God's blessing in their labors;in the after- noon the children to be gathered tor prayer, the meeting to be inspersed with appropriate ad- dresses; an evening meeting for the teachers for united prayer; on Monday between 7 and 8 in the morning ‘all teachers should again bring their seholars in prayer before God; in the courseof the day the female teachers should hold a meeting for prayer, and in the evening of Monday a public meeting of the church, at which the weltare of the Sunday School should form the theme of the prayers and ad- dresses. —— War's Orgra Hovse.—Mr. John E.

PROMPT ACTION Oy THE GOTERNOR TO CARRY OUT THE Law. The Board of Heaitn, after a long warfare Sgainst the old bucket system of removing n ght suil, at a meeting on the 16th of September de- cided upon adopting the new plan which went into operation yesterday. The scavengers, some fifteen in number, foreseeing that they were in danger of losing their oceupation and means of living, addressed the following remonstrance t> Ir the D. C., Sept. 18, 1873. nor of the District of Hon. A. R. Shepherd, G Columbia Sir—We the undersigned, scavengers of the District of Columbia, created by the act of the Legislature of said District, approved August Zist, 1873. ‘The Board of Health at its last meet- ing ‘passed a law adopting a new system of cleaning out privy boxes and ordered a notice to be issued to us to dispense with our work after the Ist of October. We wish your honor would refer the matter to the attorney for the District, for his decision as to their legality, for we can- not see how the Board of Health ‘can set aside the laws of the District or annal our appoint- ments. We do not wish to trouble you, but think the matter of sufficient importance to be looked into. Thanks for past consideration. Very respectfully, &c., Signed)—Daniel Williams, J. H. Deshields, ‘m. Edinburgh, Henry Parker, Geo. H. New- man, Henson Davis, Marshall’ Brown, G. H. MeKeynolds, Frederick Wiebeschal, 8. Scott.” The petition was referred to the District at~ torney, who, after examining the law on the subject of scavengers, their appointment, & together with the organic act creating the Board of Health and prescribing its duties, decide! that the board had acted entirely within the limits of the law, and so advised the Governor. Findirg that the term of office for which the Scavengers were appointed was about to © pire, and that the Board of Health had ente into a contract with responsible parties for the removal of night soil by means of the new svs tem, and that these contractors had secured their apparatus and all that was necessary to enter into active operations, Governor Stiep- herd with commendable promptness determined to dispense with the services of the scavengers and accordingly notified them yesterday afte: noon that their services would be no longer r quired. Last night several of the scavengers who had not received their notices from the governor to cease their work, repaired to the Ivth street wharf with the intention of resuming opera- tions, but were met by the detail of police, who notified them that they would not be permitted to dump their loads, and. after some foretols expressions against the Board of Health and their new fangled machines, they withdrew. New order boxes have been placed at the same points heretofore used by the scavengers, and the work will hereafter be done entirely by daylight. The company have procared about six hundred air-tight tanks for the reception of privy contents. These are shipped, as fast as filled, on board the scows and towed off down the river, where they are emptied, and returned for use again, thus keeping up the supply. The price now is only $1 in all cases, instead of $1.25 as heretofore. Itis reported that some of the scavengers finding their occupation gone. busied themselves yesterday and day before in making all the collections of money they could in advance, at the same time knowing that it would not be possible to perform the labor. ——e The ire Alarm Telegraph. LETTER F. TUR RIDDERS To THE BOARD oF PUBLIC wor Asis known to most of our citizens, our pres- ent fire alarm telegraph is very de not only clumsy and antiquated, out by long use as to be unreli At the last session of the District I , the matter was brought to the attention of that body paesed an act appropriating 245,009 for the con- struction of anew and improved system, the money to be expended by the Board of Public Works. That board advertised in this city and elsewhere for The only bidde Messrs. Gamewell & Co., of New York, but the amount bid by them for the whole work (875,000) ing in excess of the sum appropriated by ‘the vegisiature, the board declined to award the contract, and so informed the bidders. Messrs. Giamewell & Co., under the date of New York, October 10th, reply to the notice of the board,as follows G ‘ective, being but so worn men We thank you for your proposal to con with us for the construction of our improved ‘fire telegraph in the cities of Wash- ington and Georgetown rdance with the a lative Assembly,” andr that the term: restrictions of that act p clude the possibility of our accepting vour offer. The bid we had the honor of submitting for your consideration was carefully considered by us and in consequence of our earnest desire to establish within the metropolis of the country the best municipal telegraph in the world, we were led to place the cost at a much lower figure than the average cost to other cities, and far below its cost in this city, where the total cost averages 1,125 per station, while in our bid for your city the total cost makes an aver- age of only $750 per station. In addition to the impossibility of entertain- ing tor a moment the construction of a complete telegraph to the extent desired fur the inade- quate sam authorized by the act, we would not, in justice to ourselves, consent to its provisions for withholding twenty per cent.of the amount for two years as a guarantee for the proper operation of the telegraph. We have built our telegraph in some sixty of the leading cities of this country and Canada during the twenty years last past. In no single act of your Le instance have we ‘ever been called upon for a guarantee of that nature. Nor could we consent to yield it, as we are neither adventarers nor experimenters, but well-known as the ori, nators, perfectors, and builders of this wont ful American institution, now keeping faithful wstch and ward over millions of property and thousands of lives; and we confidently. ri any of those cities, trom Maine to Calif to the character of our work or our respon as contractors. Improvements, perfec! great cost to us since its introduction into this city, and not embodied in the New York teie- graph, were embraced in our proposal to you, although at a reduced cost.

Aw Usportunate ReszmMpiance. — The law books are full of instances Where men have suffered from their resemblance to criminals, but one of the most distressing to the friends and acquaintances of the persons concerned, has lately happened in connection with the unfortunate likeness of a young lady, who has been in the habit of visiting this city and Wash- ington, to a female who has been long notorious in both municipalities. Some few weeks ago it was reported at the lady’s home that she had been seen upon the streets of Washington acting ina manner which surely indicated in- toxication, and in company which would ‘as surely blast her reputation forever. The sad story was whispered abroad, with that under- ground rapidity which only ¢uch stories know. when it reached a person who happened to know that, on the day ot the alleged exhibition she was certainly not within 50 miles of the c1 Then inquiries began to be made, and it was found that several of her friends were well aware of a most striking resemblance between the lady in question, and a noted Cyprian, who often makes a display in public, and whose name household word at police headquar- ters.
