A STARTLING STATEMENT Of the Disease-Breeding Power of the Gity's Dumpage, Sickness and Death From the Refase Piled in Lots—Health Officer * Hammett Makes a Report. The Commissioners today received fromi Health Officer ttammett the following spe- ¢ial communication in rel fo. the health of the city: “im furtherance of the policy in relation to the sanitation of the District, which Proposes to wage a war of extermination pon all possibie sources of disease within ‘the limits thereof, I have the honor to call your attention to the dangers arising from the manner in which the dumpage of the sity is now disposed of. The practice has veen, it seems, to have designated places oF squares whereon the city’s refuse must be deposited under the direction of a super- vising agent. These designated squares are always private property, upon which dump- age is not only permitted, but desired by the owners, in order to bring lots which are much below grade up to a proper level with the surrounding property. In some instances the stratum of dumpage thrown upon such land is ail the way from one foot to twenty or twenty-five feet in thick- ness, and the quantity thereof must aver- ge daily throughout the year several hun- dred wagon loads. “This dumpase matter consists of the de- bris from cellars, stores, markets and man- ufacturing establishments. Old rags, leath- er, vegetable matter, moldy dust and dirt from below ground and all the retuse of domestic life in a great metropolis go to make up this conglomeration of matter. The loads of stuff that comes off the floors of markets, composed of mud and sawdust saturated with oils, fish brine and saccha- rine compouncs, contribute to this mass. But, worse than all this, where the wall paper and plaster from houses that have undergone renovation from contagious and Other diseases, diphtheria, scarlet fever, consumption and measies,is added to the al- Teady disease-breeding piles, the lability for diseases to emanate from the ‘dump’ becomes especially alarming. “But in addition to all this, it is a well- known matter that the refuse gathered from the sewers when they are cleaned, consisting of everything that ts foul and offensive to humanity is disposed of in the same way. When we consider the nature of the animal matter lifted out of the city sewers, as well as that which permeates the muddy masses which are carted daily to the “dumps,” it becomes a serious question whether the general cleaning up of the whol city and the sweeping of its beauti- ful ‘streets are of much avail, so long as such great masses of disease engendering Material are piled up at convenient points throughout its entire limits. “As an indication of the dangers to the blic health arising from this practice, the following statement drawn up from the rec- ords will serve to show how disease in the several cases named therein has been Spread and the deaths in the immediate neighborhood of these filled up grounds “There were extensiv+ dumsing grounds on squares 633-778, and 47-67 Wes: Washit in years past. “The two first have te 7 covered with buildings an&” e Squares partially built upon. “During the past five years there have occurred 198 deaths on that and the immedi- ately neighboring squares from the follow- ing diseases: penne, 32; typhiod fever, ; consumption, pneumonia and acute lung dieases, 7. “In the same time, on and around square TS, 147 deaths occurred. These were: From diphtheria, 15; typhoid fever, 28; consump- tion 4, and pneumonia and acute lung dis- eases, 59. “And in the sage time in the other two squares in Georgetown and immediate vicin- ity there broke out an epidemic of diph- theria, while the ‘dump’ was in full opera- tion, causing seventy-two deaths from that disease, while there were twenty deaths from typhoid fever, 106 from consumption and eighty-four from pneumonia and acute lung diseases, amounting in all to 281. “These examples of the baleful influences arising from the deposit of the city’s dump- age in populate? parts thereof, or where population is likely to be afterward concen- trated, are given because the evil results have been ascertained. In the above cited cases the mortality exceeds the average and norma! number by 200 to 300 per cent. In the case of the Georgetown squares the natural number of deaths should have been Bot over 75, or even 100 in the territory em- braced in the statement, instead of 281. To such an extent did disease, especially diph- prevail there that the health depart- ment with all its medical sanitary force was called upon to resist its ravages and prevent the spread thereof with all the means and Power at its command. “But it is presumed that enough has been shown to convince the Commissioners of theDistrict of the urgent necessity for an t= Mediate change from the present system for the final disposition of dumpage. The de- tails and exact methods to be adopted 1 making this change are safely left to their ion and judgment, with the assurance that they will do in the future as they have im the past, all in their power to pro- mote the health of the capital, the only recommendation being that, while this re- matter might be removed from be- yond the populated portions of the District, | I believe a more sanitary method would eremation.”* Seer en AMUSEMENTS TONIGHT. ie Albaugh’s Grand House.—Herrman: ‘the Magician. pi a New National Theater. — Donneii Girard in “The Rainmakers.” has ad of Music—“The White Squad- Harris’ Bijou Theater.—“Dangers of Great City.” .

The Work of Deaconesses as Pre- sented by One of Their Number. Bs bs 2s Vere THE PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS. —— Yesterday the Methodist pulpits of the city were occupied by the members of the ‘ational Association of Local Preachers, the thirty-sixth annual session of which is [being held in Hamline Church. As is well | known, the members of this association are licensed ministers in the Methodist Church, a, a3 a rule, they are engaged in other | business. At the same time they perform | the duties of ministers whenever called upon or the opportunity presents, and they are recognized as valuable aids in carrying on the work of the church. They are earnest, consecrated men, and have a good deal of the Methodist fire, as any one would know who happens to attend a session of their annual meeting and heard them sing and talk and pray. However, the sessions are business meetings, and under the firm but "indulgent lead of the president, Rev. John R. Wright, D. D., of this city, the business of the association is attended to. ‘This morning the second day of the con- .vention was begun. The delegates came to the church as early as 9 o'clock, and the first half hour was devoted to a song and praise service. This was followed by de- votional exercises, conducted by Rev. R. L. Dickey of Baltirhore. The president, when he wants to call tie attention of the brethren to the business at hand, uses a gavel which was presented to the associa- tion some nine years ago by Rev. C. C. Leigh of New York. As the inscription engraved on the silver plate fastened on the head of the gavel states, It is made from a piece of wood taken from Wesley’s pulpit in the City Road Chapel, London. Reports of Committees. Reports from several committees were made. The business committee reported adversely on the proposition to hold a na- tional camp meeting under the auspices of the association, and the report was adopted. Similar action was taken on the report of the publication committee, recommending that the publication of the magazine be con- tinued. A plan for establishing a mutual aid society, a form of beneficial insurance, was reported from the committee appointed two years ago to consider the matter, by the chairman, Rev. Mr. Dickey, and it ‘was made the special order for tomorrow morn- ing at 10:30 o'clock. Rev. C. C. Leigh, who is one of the older members of the association, and has reach- ed the advanced age of eighty, read a paper on the subject of the “Methodist Churea as it Was During the Past Century, and Where She {ts Now Driftin He traced the history of ihe Christian Church, es- pecially with reference to the relations be- tween the clergy and the laity in the work of the church. and said that Methodism arose and broke down the wall separating the two so that they became coworkers together in preaching the Gospel. The Clergy and Laity. This has continued to be the rule. but. said the speaker, during the present de- cade a change has been going on in many places of so radical a nature as to amount to a revolution. Some divines have been and are now laboring to erect again the of- fensive wall of division between the clergy and the laity. Her colleges are crowding their pupils Into her churches with their own recom- mendatory titles of D.D. and others too numerous to mention here. ‘These men are too learned to ask any as- sistance from the laity, but will allow them to teach young children in the Sabbath schools. But for the laity to preach in thelr’ churches, or to exhort sinners to repent- ance from their altars, the church Is risen above that: they claim the clergy are called ise ‘and the laity to listen, and that y have learned the divine art of preach- in the only schools that are able to qualify man for those duties. Exhogtation is Indeed a lost art. ‘These learned gentlemen require and de- mand hich salaries for their support, and fine churches to preach in, which enhances the expense of worshiping God beyond the ability of the masses to meet. You may write over the portals of such places the poor are not wanted here. Again,their ser- mons suit but a very few. There is too much dogmatical theology,too much philoso- phy, falsely cailed science, and too lttle of Christ and experimental godliness. Their education forces them into solitude in their studies, where they seek advice from the numerous volumes of the long since dead divines, instead of communing with living men, inquiring into their pur- suits, habits, temptations, losses and suc- cesses, that will fit them’ to preach living discourses to live men suitable for the times. But this they will not do. What is the consequence? Their churches are not half filled. Methodism is not on a par with the spirit of the times. If this revolution 1s accomplished by these ambitious but de- luded men, what will be the state of our church in 19%, a hundred years from this date? ‘The Bible School. Rev. Dr. Dolby, the president of the Lucy Webb Hayes Bible School, located in this city, was introduced to the convention and spoke of the work that is being done by the school in supplying to the church trained, consecrated workers who could supplement the efforts of the pastors; persons who could perform the duties of deaconesses and of nurses, and In other departments of werk. ‘One of the deaconesses from the home in this city at 14 North Capitol street was the next speaker. She was introduced as ister Miner and wore a becoming dress f black, with collar and cuffs and tonnet strings of white crepe. She spoke of the Work that was carried on of training the workers and of actual contact with the People. The mission in Willow Tree alley Was referred to and she stated that during the three years the home had been in ex- istence there had been forty-four workers there, most of whom were now engaged in work in various parts of the country. One of the white-haired members was moved by the description of the work of deaconesses to say that if the pastors did their full duty there would not be the same necessity for these different agencies. He referred to his own expe- irience and said that as a lay preacher he was ready to respond to any call. He spoke of a recent case in the town where he lived. He was asked to come to a house where sickness of a dangerous form prevailed. ‘The man of the house complained that his minister had refused to call. The delezate said that he probably had young children at his home and he ought not to be ex- Pected to go. However, the speaker said that he responded to the call, and then commenting upon this incident spoke of the usefulness of the local preacher and trusted that they would always be ready for calls of duty. Rev. Dr. Todd, the pastor of the church, [who was present, arose in defense of pas: tors, and said that it was rarely the case that a minister refused a summons to the side of the sick bed. The delegate said in reply that he had neglected to say that he did not blame the minister referred to, jas he did not think that he should have subjected his children to the danger of infection. Received by the President. | After this episode, which was very. pleas- | antly conducted, the convention adjourned for inuch, which was served by the ladies in the room below. They then went to the White House, where they were received by the President. The session this afternoon was devoted to vatlous matters of business and this evening a reception will be given to the fraternal delegates from the Local Preach- jens’ Association in England. Tne interesting feature of the session | Saturday afternoon was the annual ad- dress of the president, Rev. Dr. Wright, in | the course of which he said: | Thave often been asked, what ts the ob- ject of your association? I will answer by | referring to article third of our constitution, which reads, “for the promotion of fra. te-nal intercourse, brotherly co-operation in all church work, including education, the advancement of the cause of temperance.’ &c.. and 1 would add to spread scriptural holiness over these lands. It should be the Joy of every local preacher to sustain and hold up the hands of his paster, gnd to let no unkind word or c-iticism fall from their lps, and if difference of opinion should ‘clations have been organized, namely, at Upland, Grant county, Ind., North Indiana Conferénce,and the other within the bounds of the main conference. Both of these as- sociations are doing good work for the Mas- ter. Taylor University demands your at- tention, perhaps more at this time than ever Lefore. ‘Taylor U sity. “It is well known to all the friends of the university that the past year began under most discouraging circumstances and that | many prophesied the speedy collapse of the | institution. The debt upon the premises was large and long past due, and an order had been issued to sell the property. Not- withstanding all this, an excellent school with a competent faculty was maintained and we are indebted largely to President Reid for his interest in the future success of the university, for he began looking about in different directions for a new site. ‘The most favorable offer received came from the town of. Upland, in Grant county, about fifty miles south of Fort Wayne. i said in my address to you at Cleveland, Ohio, last fall that we were only one-third owners of the university. Can we not con- trof it by ownership? TI think we can. ‘This has come to pass. Upland is a town of 1,00 inhabitants, situated on the Pan Han- die raiiroad. ‘The citizens of this towr gave us ten acres of ground of our own selec- | tion and $10,000 in cash. They have since | given us an interest in real estate which, When sold, will net the university some- thing like $5,000 more. We have property in actual possession worth at least 325,000 and not a dollar of debt, and large vested interests which will come to us ‘as the property is sold. Our new literary hall, to which Mrs. H. Maria Wright of Washington, D. C., hi given liberally and which bears her name, will soon be dedicated. Taylor University has now become the child of the local Preachers of Methodism. The National Association of Local ch- ers have the sole and exclusive ownership of the property, they appoint all the trustees and to the great body of local Preachers of Methodism, this institution looks with all confidence for patronage and support. At this session it will become our duty to elect seven trustees to fill places of those whose time expires 1894, and to, if possible, five the university a closer place in our earts. The Magazi ‘This association at its last meeting elect- ed Rev. Daniel T. McFarland editor and Publisher of the Local Preachers’ Maga- zine. Owing to circumstances over which he had no control, on the 2ist of November, 1802, he tendered to me his resignation, which was accepted. Shortly after, in com- pany with our secretary and others met Rev. Charles A. Foster of Wilmington, Del, at Northeast, Maryland, and, after much persuasion, agreed with him to con- tinue the publication of our magazine until the meeting of our association. We ought to give our magozine a larger circulation and put a copy in the homes of all our friends, we ought to support our own pub- Neatlon, as well as to foster our institu- tion. “Intemperance, I see only one way to remedy this great evil, which is slaying and destroying so many thousands each year of our best boys and girls, too, go for prohibition and nothing short of {t. Our Christian Sabbath must be sustained | and we as ministers ought to do all we can |to strengthen those that are working in that direction. To be more efficient in our work, we must obtain the baptism with the Holy Ghost.” A Poetical Greeting. Among the greetings which were extend- ed to the delegates was one that was ex- pressed in material measure and was read by the author, Rev. J, Harries. In one stanza he said: We gladly give you welcome,” Because we feel today The cause we love Is destined To win its widening way. ‘The mists and fugs of error Are lifting from the world, ‘The flags of troth and justice Are everywhere unfurled. i Veterans Dead.

The sole reason fer the omission lies ifj fie fact that the total estimated revenues of the District for the fiscal year ending June 30, 189%, were not sufficient to provide for the items in question. In the order of importance these items are as follows: First. For continuing and completing the system of sewage disposal and protection against floods, project of board of sanitary engineers, 1891, $4,125,000. The whole of this amount should be made available, say the Commissioners, as fast as it can be used, | because these works are urgently needed and have already been begun, and the project is of such a nature that,po part of the work can be used until the whole has been completed, so that all money expended aust lie idle until the whole project has been carried out. Second. For extending the system of trunk sewers in the city and suburbs, $1,000,000. The Commissioners: aze of the opinion that this work is urgently needed. If the trunk sewers (three feet in diameter or more) were laid in all parts of the city, and the most important suburbs,.a very: large amount of the sewer system, draining into these trunk sewers would be construct- ed unde: the permit system, property own- ers voluntarily paying one-half of their cost, thereby saving hundreds of thousands of dollars to the District. Property owners are very generally willing to put in the smaller sewers under the permit system, but it is manifestly impossibig in the gen- eral case for the abutting owner to siand one-half the cost of a trunk sewer three feet or more in diameter. Consequently, where these trunk sewers are required, Property owners have to wait until the District constructs the whole system, which is a loss to the owner, by retarding the de- velopment of his property, and to the Dis- trict, in that it has to do the work, ‘paying the whole cost, instead of pa: tony, the half cost of all the smaller sewers, which in the aggregate are the most expensive Part of the sewer system. ‘ The third item in the appendix. relates to the improvement of streets and roads. Very important work of this character has necessarily been omitted from the reeu- lar estimates for the reason hereto‘ore stated. The work referred to embraces ex- Penditures on sundry streets and avenues to cost $125,000 and the construction of coun- ty roads to cost $43,000. ‘The Commissioners are of the opinion that the improvement of all streets and roads in schedules “3 and “B" submitted by the enginesf, depart- ment is necessary to the best, intérests the District. mt rie Mi BALTIMORE SYNOD... t Présbyterfans of Washington, Balti- ore and New Castle to Mcet. ‘The Synod of Baltimore, composed of the Presbyteries of New Castle, Baltimore and Washington, will convene in First Presby- terian Church at Wilmington, Del, for sev- eral days this week.
