AcTION FOR FALSE ARREST AND ImM- PRISONMENT.—To-day, in the Circuit Court, Judge Cartter, the case of James W. Craig against Capt. H. W. Howgate and Detective James A. McDevitt, was taken up—Messrs. J.W. Ross and Mills Dean for plaintiff and W. A. Cook for the defendants. In this ease action Is brought by plaintiff, who was for- merly in the United States signal service, for alleged false arrest and imprisonment, for which he claims $10,000 damages. In the summer of 1874, it will be recollected, several parties were arrestei on suspicion of being connected with an attempt to defraud cer- tain signal observers by sending them letters purporting to be written by one Waldron, an officer of the corps, notifying them that he was op his way to their station, and re- questing that should a draft be presented on bim itshould be paid. The plalotiff in the case was one of the parties arrested, and he was taken in custody on the 1ith of Septem- ber last, and was detained at Police Head- quarters for a week or more, when the offi- cers of the signal service requested his re- | wise it would nig 94 ne lease, which request was complied with. —=——_.—__—_ A Coat Orn Horror.—The infant daugh- ter of Mr. Mace Padgett, residing in Union- town, who was severely burned about the body by the bursting of a coal oil lamp last Thursday, as stated in THE STAR, died on Monday evening, after suffering the most intense agony for four days. The child was only two years old. Mr. Padgett, who had bis band seriously burned in attempting to put out the flames, has been unconscious since Monday evening. and it is feared he will finally lose bis life from the shock to his | system. ———— TITIFNS.—To-morrow evening M’lle Titiens Will appear in {the oratorio of the “Crea- tion,” at the Congregational church, sup- | ported by the Philharmonic society, wit one hundred votees. This will give Wash- ingtonians an opportunity of hearing the greatest oratorio singer now living. Her performances in this country have received | the bighest encomiums from the severest critics, and large audiences have received the great singer with much enthusiasm. Oratorio is M'lle Titien’s specialty, and a large audience should greet the prima douna. —— SUPPEN DEATH or J. Ross BROWNE.— Mr. W. S. Mitchell, of this city, received a telegram yesterday from (akiand, Callfor- nia, stating that his brother-in-law. J. Ross Browne, had died at that place suddenly on Monday night. Mr. browne was minister of the United States to China some years since, and is well-known as the author of some entertaining books of travel. He re- sided at Oakland, California, for some years previous to his death. ——_s—_ THE SNYDER RELEASE CASE.—The case of Jobn Green, of Baltimore, who is clarged with having personated Mr. David Edes, of Georgetown, and given bogus bail for the appearance of Edward W.

All agree itis most pralific of all in our cities; and yet, pear, there is literal apy one in this city to vent the main source of trouble from this cause. To illus- trate my meaning. let me state a case within iv ‘own knowleage. Acitizen contracted to have built for him a@ residence, As usual, the plumbing was sub-let by the contractor toa plumber in and regular standing. Soon after the was completed the owner had occasion to take up the concrele in the basement in order to connect the rain-spout with the sewer which ran under the basement floor. On doing so, he found the entire area under tue concrete flooled, and, supposing there must be a leak in the water pipe, tore up the concrete for a con- siderable distance, to the 7 & , When it Ew. to betight. Satis: hat some- thing was wrong, sithough assured to the contrary by the plumber, he then employed another, and on uncovering the sewer p! they found, just at the foot of the soil pipe leading from the water closet, a piece broken outof its side larger than @ man’s hand— this hole extending down the bottom of the pipe and being covered by a loose piece merely laid against it, witbout being even cemented. Of course, all the drainage of the house including the waste from the water closet, ran out at this hole, and satarated A FLOODED THE ENTIRE AREA under the concrete floor and walls of the house. Nor was thatall; for he found also, fiat a hole had been broken in the top of this pipe to connect the drain-pipe from the stationary wash-tubs, from whieh the gas was free to exeape from the sewer without hindrance. Moreover, there was NO TRAP between the street sewer and the house, nor any to the wash-tubs, and consequently the g2s from the street sewer, besides whateve- ‘was generated in the sewer under the butld- ing, had free outlet into the basement, from whence. of course, it wonld permeate the en- tire brilding! A magazine of nitro-glycerine would not have been balf so dangerous, for its explosion would have been accidental merely, while the injury from this was a certainty. After the pipe was uncovered, £0 as to ex- pore the defects, the owner sent to the plum)- er, anc told him of its condition, arm i him to come and examine it: and all th isfection he obtained was the reply that it was “2 d—d lie,” and a refusal to go near it! And this was no cheap Job, for it cost $809, and was paid for in cash, besides about $100 oe subsequently to make good the defects. Now the simple fact that such a job of sew- ering could be, and was done, right here in onr midst. shows the absolute necessity of the authorities taking this matter in hand, and adopting the most stringent rules for its regulation. In this connection I be gest the following points, that it seems to me should be EMBODIED IN RFGULATIONS to be enforced in all cases : » sewer, drain or soil pipe should be placed inside of, or under, any building where it can beavoided. Of course, in many places it cannot be avoided; butif placeit outside, instead of inside. then any escaping be dissipated in the atmosphere. in- being confined within the building | to poison the atmosphere, and finally kill the occupants. 2. Every sewer connection should have a ventilating flue or opening just before it e: ters the building to carry off the foul gase: that jay enter it from the street sewer. If possfble, this fine or pipe should extend above the roof, so as to prevent the gases from entering the windows when open. 3. There should be a trap In the sewer pine, between this ventilating flue and the insi le of the house, to prevent the sewer gas from entering the pipe under the house at all. There will be but little or no generation of sewer gas In the pipein the building. becwuse the constant drainage from the wash basins, Kitchen, &c., will fill it, and keep it con- stently flushed out. 4. The rain spouts from the rcof shonid all be connected with the drain pipe of the house, so as more thoroughly to flush the pipe, and also to carry off any gas that might 1y ANY possibility be generated in, or enter the sewer pipe. Rain spouts which lead from the back buildings, or lower stories, should be so connected or trapped as to pre- vent the gas [rom ascending them, as other- from their tops, which being lower than the upper story windows, would permit it to enter them when open. 5. A separate and direct flue or pipe should be extended from the water closet or its trap out through or above the roof, to carry off all foul gases from the water closet; and this should be so arranged as to draw acur- rent of air from within, ortward through tie bow! of the water closet, at all times. This is best done by using the kitchen chimney, e,ther as the ventilating flue itself oras a means of warming, and thus creating a draft up the ventilating flue, whicn may be of metal located within the chimney or along- side of it. In erecting new buildings it would be better to make a flue adjoining the kite eben chimney, especially for this purpese, as the heat from the latter would create a cur- rent up the adjoining tine. Where this is not convenient a gas burner may be ured to create a current; though if carrie: well up, and a suitable cap provided, there ~ w.ll almost always be an outward current through it, even without heat. 6. And this is the point to which I special- ly desire to call the attention of the authori- ties. There should be a special officer ap- pointed whose duty it shonid be to superin- tend the laying of all sewer pipes in and about buildings, fo eramine the same where laid, before being covered, and see that all joints are absolutely gas tight; that they are so laid that they cannot come apart; that traps and ventilating flues are nrovided and pony arranged, 38 above stated, and that he work in every + is done as it ought to be, so as to render it safe and secure. 7. All plumbers or others snould be required to havea license before being permitted to touch @ job, and none but mev of known fit- ness, ability and integrity should have a Neense under any circumstances. They should also be required to give a bond with sureties for faithfully performing their duties and complying with the rales and regula- Uons of the board in reference to these mat- ters, with provision for revoking their li- cense in case of failure so todo, together with @ penalty for any violation of the rules or | regulations. ‘onnected as this matter is with the public health, it would seem that it ought to be under the contro! of the Board of Beaith. but it should not be left to the vagaries or whims of any tyro or theorist, but should be con- trolled by fixed rules and regulations. With such a plan honestly carried . the great question of sewer poisoning, so far as our buildings are concerned, would be settled once for all. As to ventilating the street sewers, that is a very simple matter, and can be easily effected. Itisdone in Europe, and can be here with ordinary engineering skill and a comparatively small outlaw. There is prob- ably not a sewer in this city from which the gas is not constantly escaping at every man- hole or cover, a8 Well as at other openings. To say they cannot be ventilated is sheer nonsense. But enough for the present. It is in our houses, aud not the streets, where the great danger livs, and it is to that that I de- sire to call attention at this time. [t is dis- graceful that this matter has not been at- tended to before. In Chicagoand other cities there is an ofMicer whose business it is tolook after these matters, in part at least; but here there seems to be literally no supervision whatever—the only requirement being to obtain a permit to tap the street sewer, after which everything is left to the plumber to do as he pleases; and how some of them do bas been already stated. I sincerely trust that this matter will be taken hold of by the proper authorities in foyer earnest, and not longer be allowed to go in its present terrible state. A CITIZEN, THE COURTS.
