A., Chief Bagineer D.¢ ‘ Sir--We have the honor to report that the year endimg October S1st, 1*76, “4 trees have been planted In the streets and avenues of this city, and 7515 holes have been prepared for planting: 24 trees of various sizes have been earefally lifted and repiant- ed. so as lo accommodate new grades, and ~ old and decaying trees have been removed. A portion of = season proved exceeting- lydry and unfavorable to the growth of newly planted trees, especially in regard to those planted in spring. Those set out the previous fall. during the months of October, November and December, m better pro- gress owing to the possession of a more ex- tended system of young roois. None, how ever, were allowed to suffer, as they were supplied with water, and although the means available for this purpose were somewhat limited. vei it served to Keep the trees alive, if nothing more, until saturating rains gave increased vigor to active growth. On some of the streets first planted some ‘and 4 years ago, the effects of prolonged dry weather coukl be observed tn the re- strieted growth of the trees. This result is to be expected as the roots oreupy the space prepared at the time of planting, and can be only effectually remedied by the addition of sh soil to the extremities of the roots. On cently £ the holes have been exeavated inahard ungenial subsoil, the trees will indicate want of nourishment. as they will be restricted to the space originally i red for them which speedily becomes fully oeenpied by the roots when their further extension is checked and diminished growth ensues.

Stroys the roots. Perfect immunity from this evil is probably impracticable, and when detected it may be, as inmost instances in this city, it has been promptly remedied. The worst feature, however, Is that the evil is not discovered wnill after the roots have been destroyed or fatally injured; the soil 1s weil saturated before the presence of eseap- ing gas is detected. and it is then too late for the application of any effectual remed, The best that can be done is to remove thi injured tree and plant a healthy one in its stead, and even this will not alivays prove a suecess. as It is diffientt to remove all th poisoned earth. and ft usually requires se eral renewals before a healthy growin is se- cured. Gas poisoning is the unsuspected canse of many deaths among city trees. The severe Storm that occu: on the of September prostrated a number of trees in various parts of the city. All available means were promptly directed towards re- pairing damages, and no serious injury re- sulted except in a few eases where the tops had been broken off. It is necessary, in order that_no interfer- | nay be occasioned to traffic, that the jower branches be removed from street trees; has a tendency to weaken the stem and se their liability to be damaged by ms.

The space was cleared up, drained and graded, planted with trees, and the entire surface sown With grass seed. A miniature lake was introduced. mainly for the benefit of sma!i birds. This work was executed from time to time, as labor could be assigned from the primary work of planting ant taking care of tree®@hence it has not been So rapidly exeeuted as, under other con- ditions, it might have been.

Even in its present condition it contrasts favorably with its former neglected condi- tion. In addition to the planting aud ordinary care of trees, a very considerable amount of labor has been expended in the care of nu- juerous small reservations and unoceupied spaces distributed over the city. An average force of four men has been employed for a period of six months on this class of work. One of the first duties undertaken by this Compission Was unatof establishing a re~ serve santen for the preservation and prepar- ion of trees for ——t The advantages rived from this source have been of great alue, and have contributed largely to the ees which has been attained in the orna- mentation of the city. Many thousamds of trees have been raised from @ small size until they were large fnough to plant out in permanent locations. This has acided very materially to the pro- gress of the work, not only froin the saving effected in the purchase of suitable trees, but also in having them at hand and available at any time when required, so that they could be moved and set in place in a few hours without loss of vitality by exposure of roots, or from the casualties resulting from length- ened transportation. The stock of grown trees isat present large enough to obviate the necessity of further purehase for some time ———— KILLE « THE RAILROAD.—Last night, about 10 o'clock, a fatal accident oceurred on the Washington branch of the Baltimore and bio railroad, near the corner of 9th and L street northeast, by which Conlan, # flagman employed at that point, was killed: It appears that the incoming trains were ac- train was on the must have been Jonathan off: Isaiah Richard Price and peper, Va. MORE Divorce CAsEs.— Yesterday. in ad- dition to the two decrees of diveree ‘re in THE STAR, the case of W. H. Killmon against Emily B. Killmon was decided. The petitioner states that they were married in September, 1868; that they went to California and remained there until April, 1874, when he made preparations to return here, but she did not return with him. The court made a decree granting him a divorce. Yester- day, Mary A. Doing petitioned for divorce from James R. Doing. She states that about twenty-two years ago they w®re married at Clyde, Sandusky county, Ohio, and they came here in 1574, but in 2 few months, with- ont notice, cause or provocation, he willfully abandoned her, leaving her penniless, and she has since learned that he had to the state of Indiana and there establi his home. -""-A ition for divorce Etves an Toy Mis. bytia & Abellagainst as been fled by Mrs. Lydia 8. si Samuel Abel, ov the ground of desertion. -*-"A decree has been made inthe Equity Court divoreing W.

This isa suit for $5,000 damages, from the death of the plaintiffs child, which, it is claimed. resulted fromm the effeets of mor- phine sold_by the defendant by mistake for quinine. The child had the ague, and the plaintiff went to the defendant, who isa drag- ist. on the order of a physician, and asked for a grains of Quinine, which was to be divided into eight doses. Three of the se were given during the night, and the next morning the child was unconscious, in which condi- tion it remained until it diced. The case ap- pears to turn on the question a8 to whether a druggist is to be held legally responsible for misunderstanding an oral order. Two of the witnesses swore positively that the order was for quinine, and Dr. Wishard, who made the post-mortem at the Coroner's inquest, testi- Hed that the medicine given was morphine.” Tur Custopy oF GARNIER’S CHILD.— The writ of habeas corpus sued out by the wife of Albert Garnier, the billiard player, to recover ion of their child, was made returnable before Judge Brady, in supreme court, chambers, yesterday. At the appoint- ed time Mr. Garnier appeared in court in obedience to the writ,with the child, which is a handsome-looking boy a little more than two years old. No one appeared on behalf of Mrs. Garnier. Col. Fellows, Mr. Garnier's counsel, pot in a return to the writ, alleging that Mrs. Garnier is now living in open adul- tery with John Gottenberg. The counsel said hedid not believe it possible for the wife to make answer to the charge. The writ was dismissed. Mr. Garnier left the court-room with his boy, and announced his determina- tion to bring an action for divoree.—[N. Y.

The church building was a frame one, and was erected in 1831 under the direction of Domine Johnson. It was subsequently occu- pied as a chureh residence. The church was @ free one, and the minister received no com- pensation. About 1868 the property was sold to the present owners. At one time it was offered to the United States government for the site of a new post office. This project was not carried into effect. -Hundreds of people in Brooklyn would not visit the theater on account of it being erected on church prop- erty, and it isa well-known fact that many superstitious people predicted its destruction.
