With the purpose of placing every portion of the city in the best sanitary condition, and thus assisting in the work of Health Officer Ham- mett, Tux Star today makes known to the au- thorities a condition of affairs which requires | immediate attention in order to make uniform | the excellent general sanitary condition of the city. In doing this Tue Star is continuing the labor of assisting the authori- ties which it inaugurated some two weeks ago | in calling attention to the bad condition of a | number of alleys of the city. Those matters, the health officer says, were promptly attended | to, and such a result, it 1s confidently believed, will follow the publication of today. WHERE THE GARBAGE I8 DUMPED. At the foot of South Capitol street, at its inter- section with 8 street, is a dilapidated wharf, ex- tending a short distance out into the Eastern branch. The neighborhood is sparsely in- habited and a great distance from the city roper. At this wharf the garbage carts of Romtractor Clark “dump. thelr contents into uncovered scows, which, when filled, are towed down the Potomac to Broad run, about nine miles below the city. There the contents of the scows are taken ashore, and they are then towed back to the wharf. "At this wharf the wagons of the Odorless Excavating Company, now the property of Mr. R. V. Rusk, it is said, alo deposit in large barrels the night soil ol- leoted by the company. To this wharf yesterday afternoon a reporter of Tax Stan was directed to proceed for tho pu of personally investigating a complaint Inade to Tue Stan br & ntleman residing in that locality respecting the condition of aifaire existing there. ‘A HORRIBLE STENCH. Long before the spot was reached a stench horrible beyond description was borne by the breeze to the nostrils of the reporter. As he ually approached the spot the stench more ible grew, until at last when the wharf was reached "it had become a matter be- yond human endurance for any great length of time. To the right an old time-worn shed stood upon the wharf, and in it was discovered haps forty or fifty empty barrels belongip, To"the odorless company and twenty. fil ones. The caps of both the filled and empty tarrels had been removed, emitting a stench needing no description. A colored em- ploye cf the company informed the reporter that the moment the barrels were deposited in the shed their caps were removed, leaving an opening four to five inches in diameter. WHY THE CAPS ARE REMOVED. “Why are their caps removed?” asked the re- porter. “*Cause de barrels would bus’ if you didn’t, sab,” was the suggestive reply. “and how long do the filled barrels remain on the wharf before they aro taken down the river?” inquired the s “Ginerally ‘til de nex’ mornin’, sab.” “Thon the barrels collected ono day are al- lowed to remain here open that day and through the night?” “Yas, sah; dat’s "bout how it is.” | “And ace the barrels towed down the river open like this?” “Tn an open scow?” “Yas, sah.” GARBAGE IN THE RIVER. At the end of the wharf an old scow wns moored, into which many loads of garbage had already been dumped and -more was being thrown into it by two colored men from a great fle which Lad been dumped upon the wharf. The old scow was about thirty or forty feet in length, fifteen or twenty in width and perhaps five in depth. Its appearance indicated long years of hard service and raised a serious doubt as to its seaworthi- ness on even so peacefula stream as the Eastern branch. In fact, one of the colored men in- formed the reporter that he did not believe it would float long enough to get it to the dump- ing place down the river. Later information showed that the sinking of these scows was by no means an infrequent occurrence. Between the wharf and the old scow was a distance of four or five feet, it being impossible to get the scow nearer because of the +hallow- ness of the water, which was then about four feet deep. ‘Two or three gang planks, not over four feet wide, ran from the w! to the scow, and the reporter was told by the colored em- ployes that the garbage carts backed up to these planks and dumped their loads upon them. It is needless to say that owing to the narrowness of these planks no in- considerable amount of the filthy, loud-smelling contents of the carts fail to fall upon the planks, falling into the river instead. Such an amount had already fallen into the river at the end of the wharf that the shallowness of the water there was due to that fact. A SCOW AND ITS DISEASE-BREEDING LOAD. About 100 yards south of the wharf one of these scows had sunk with its load, and the re- porter was informed that instead of trans- ferring the load to another scow Mr. Clark's men had deliberately thrown the greater part into the river. But a great mass still remained aboard, and the scow being below the surface of the stream, the flood tide, which at the time of the re- porter's visit ‘was making in, wae gradually working the filthy stuff off intothe river. Some of it sank, but much floated off to the shore. A MASS OF GARBAGE ALONG THE SHORE. In answer to the reporter's inquiries one of the colored employes stated that during the last ten days four of the loaded scows had sunk a short distance from the wharf, and their con- tents either sunk or floated ashore. In corrobo- ration of the man's statement the reporter found that along the shore as far as tho eye could reach below the point wa a tase of garbage two or three fect deep and running out into the water perhaps twenty or thirty feet. That this mass of baggem| filth had long hung along the shore could be seon from the thick green scum which floated over it This mass rose and fell with the in- coming tido, and, thus constantly stirred up, a stench almost beyond human conception poisoned the air and waa taken by the south wind up toward the city. ‘No OFFICER OR INSPECTOR AT TUE DUMP. The reporter saw no police officer at the dump. nor did he find the sanitary inspector who is supposed to be on duty there. A police- man, the reporter was told, seldom made his appearance there in that out-of-the-way place, ah ough it was stated Lite gent about the wharf that the police boat made its api ance there the evening before, and its officers bad witnessed the scow and, it was sup- posed, had noted the washing of its contents into the river. The yr was also informed that na scow near the wharf Mr. Clark's employes waited until night to pitch ita load into the river. A representative of the health office was found seated in the shade of a tree on South Capitol street just around the corner from the wharf. This officer. Sanitary Inepector T. H.

The truth of the matter is the scows are so old and broken up that they are unfit for service.” twenty-five years, pata ears ANOTHER MEETING AT SLIGO. Citizens of Montgomery County Determined to Have Railroad Facilities. Still another meeting of the citizens of Mont- gomery county, who are anxious to obtain rail- road facilities, was held at Sligo last night. The meeting drew out a big crowd and its results probably mean two railroads out through Montgomery county. The two committees on the roads to Woodside and Sandy Springs re- ported through Mr. B. F. Leighton and B. F. Peters. Both reports were encouraging. Mr. Leighton, also from the committee appointed to examine into the laws of Maryland on the question of railways, reported in regard to the tax of one-eighth of 1 per cent claimed by the state and in regard to other points. Mr. Guion Miller, also from the same committee, reported as to the laws relating to incorporation and to the fact that a majority of the stockholdets ammust be citizens of Maryland.

But must they, there- fore, goin their present filthy condition? It ties, for the answer would probably be that all the men and machines will be engaged on sched- ule work and cannot make up the time lost by the storm of Tuesday. Why not, then, for this time at least, adopt the very wise and certainly very effective plan of the inhabitants of ancient Jerusalem and “every man clean his own door- tudy to those who, like myself. ‘the treets at an early hour in the morning to witness who are tho ones who add their personal efforts to those of the city authorities to clean the streets. If the general assumption is that those who live in the finest houses and keep the largest number of servants are the onos whose promises are kept neatest, it is a great mistake, for my observation is that the occupant of the ntious “‘frame’’ is most apt to have the neatest parking, pavement and street. To be y observation lies on the line of the Belt'line care, and there it i those who live in the most modest houses who are the cleanest. This is not without exception, for there are houses on 11th street that are patterns of neat- ness. One in my mind,as I write, with its well- kept parking and bordering ferns, is a place which delights my eye every time I pass it. Not only is the parking kept neat asa model housewife’s parlor, but the pavement and even the street iteelf os far as the car track isso clean and neat that it really.gives forth an apparent air of whole- somenvss.

The President is so devoted to her that he will not leave her bedside fora moment unless through the call of some superior duty. It is a very serious question whether the White House is'a whole- some abode for a family. It is a great pity that Congress, which has been so free in spending money in other direc- tions and in giving money for public build- ings, should not have long ago built « new executive mansion for family use and for re- ception purpores, leaving present White House to be employed as an office. I recall once having had a talk with President Arthur upon this subject. He said: “You have no idea how dismal and depressing it is to be always obliged to live in the atmosphere of your work. Thereis not a business man in New cs ‘ork who would be comfortable of contented if he were obliged to live in the’ downtown atmos- phere of his oftice without the prospect of any change “The President is so closely tied to his place that he should certainly be given the recreation and change of having another home where he could escapa from the atmosphere and sur- roundings of the executive Congress for some reason or other appears always to be jealous of the President. The appro- priations for the White Houso are always most rigidly scrutinized, and the money for anythifig in is out with a most parsimonious hand.
