ACTION FOR FALSE ARREST AND Iw- PRISONMENT.—To-day, in the Cireuit 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 arrested 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 be was on his way to their station, and re- questing that should a draft be presented on bim it should be id. The plaintiff in the | case was one of the parties arrested, and he was taken in custody on the lith 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- lease, which request was complied with. ——— ees A COAL O11, HorroR.—The infant dangh- ter of Mr. Mace Padgett, residing in Unioa- 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 his hand seriously burned in attempting to put out the flames, has been unconscious since Monday evening. and it is feared he Will finally lose his life from the shock to his system. ——_—_—_. TITIENS.—To-morrow evening Mle Titiens Will appear in {the oratorio of the “Crea- tion,” at the Congregational church, sup- ported by the Philharmonte society, with one bundred voices. ‘This will give Wash- ingtonians an opportunity of hearing the greatest oratorio singer now living. Her performances in this country have received the highest 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 donna. ———__.——— SUDDEN DEATH oF J. Ross BRowNE.— Mr. W.S. Mitchell, of this city, received a telegram yesterday from Oakiand, Califor- 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.

(ONS, PRO BONO PUBLICO. Editor Siar: Sir—I learn from the that the D: mee ae, agp sub-let by Le neuer @ plumi regular standing. Pa the se was completed the rain-spout with the sewer which ran under the basement floor. On doing so, he found the entire area under tue concrete flooded, and, supposing there must be a leak in the water pipe, tore up the conerete for a con- siderable distance, to the fe vo tera when it yen to be tight. Satisfied that some- thing was wrong, although assured to the contrary by the plumber, he then employed another, and on uncovering the sewer pipe they found, just at the foot of the soil pipe leading from the water closet, a piece broken outof its side larger than a man’s hand— this hole extending down the bottom of the pipe and belng covered by a loose piece merely laid against it, without being even cemented. Of course, all the drainage of the house including the waste from the water closet, ran out at this hole, and saturated and FLOODED THE ENTIRE ARFA under the concrete floor and walls of the house. Nor was that all; for he found also, tuat a bole had been broken iu the top of this pipe to connect the drain-pipe from the stationary wash-tubs, from whieh the gas was free to escape from the sewer withont hindranee. Moreover, there was NO TRAP between the street sewer and the house, nor any to the wash-tubs, and consequently the gas from the street sewer, besides whateve> was generated in the sewer under the build- ing, bad free outlet into the basement, fro’ whence, of course, it wonld permeate the tire building! A magazine of nitro-glycerine Would not have been half so dangerous, for its explosion would have been accidental merely, while the injury from this waz a certainty. After ihe pipe was uncovered, £0 as to € pese thedefects, the owner sent tothe plu cr, and told him of its condition, and asked him to come and examine it; and all the sat- isfaction he obtained was the reply that it was ‘a d—d lie,” and a refusal to go near it! And this was no cheap job, for it cost 38%, and was paid for in cash, besides about Sim aid 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 our 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 beg to sug- gest the following points, that it seems to me should be EMBODIFD IN REGULATIONS to be enforced in all cases : 1. No sewer,drain or soil pipe shonid be placed inside of, or under, any building where it can beavoided. Of course. in many Places it cannot be avoided; but if placet outside, instead of inside. then any escaping as will be dissipated in the atmosphere, tn- stead of being confined within the building to poison the atmosphere, and finally kill the Scenpante. 2. Every sewer connection should have a ventilating flue or opening just before it en- ters the building to carry off the foul gases that may enter it from the street sewer. If possible, this flue 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 Fag under the house at all. There will be but little or no generation of ‘Rewer gas in the pipe in the building, because the constant drainage from the wash basins, Kitchen, &c., will fill it, and keep it con- steptiy flushed out. i. The rain spouts from the roof 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 by any possibility be generated in, or enter the sewer yee. Rain spouts which lead from the back buildings, or lower stories, Should be so connected or trapped as to pre- vent the gas from ascending them, as other- wise it would escape from tmeir tops, which being lower than the upper story windows, would permit it to enter them when open. 5. A separate and dtrect flue or pipe should be extended from the waver closet or its trap ont through or above the roof, to carry off all foul gases from the water closet; aud this should be so arranged as to draw » cur- rent of air from within, ortward through the bowl of the water closet, at all times. This is best done by using the kitchen chimney, eitner as the ventilating flue itself oras a means of warming, and thus creating a draft up the ventilating fine, whicn may be of metal located within the chimuey or along- sirle of it. In erecting new buildings it would be better to make a fine adjoining the Kite chen chimney, especially for this purpc%e, as the heat from the latter would create a cur- rent up the adjoining flue. Where this is not convenient a gas burner may be uied to create a current; though if carrie. well up, and a suitable cap provided, there ~ will almost always be an outward current throngh 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 should be to superin- tend the laying of all sewet pipes in and about buildings, fo examine the same yr | laid, before beiny covered, and see that al joints are absolutely gas light; that they are so laid that they cannot come apart; that traps and ventilating flues are provided and roperly arranged, as above stated, and that works in every respect is done as it ought to be, so as to render it safe and secure. 7. All plumbers or others snould be required to bavea license before being permitted to touch a i=. and none but men 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 rules and regulr- tions of the board in reference to these mat- ters, with provision for revoking their li- cense in case of failure so todo, together with a penalty for avy violation of the rules or regulations. Connected as this matter is with the public health, it would seem tHat it ought to be under the coutrol of the Board of Beaith, but it should bot be left to the vagaries or whims of any tyro or theorist, but should be con- trolled by fixed rules aud regulations. With such a plan honesty carried out, the Rreat question of sewer poisoning, so far as ovr buildings are concerned, would be settled once for all. As to ventilating the street sewers, that is a very simple matter, and ean 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 ¢ from which the gas Is not constantly escaping at every inan- bole 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, Ad not the streets, where the great danger lics, and 1t is to that that I de- sire to call attention at this time. It is dis- graceful that this matter has not been at- tended to before. Io Chicago and other cities there is an officer 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 lap the s{reet sewer, after which everything is left to \e plumber to do as he pleases; and how son.c of them do bas been already stated. Isincerely trust that this matter will be taken hold of by the proper authorities in good earnest, and not longer be allowed to go in its present terrible state. A CITIZEN, THE COURTS.
