LEARY, PROP., fakery, 119, 121, 123 asi ae Sno SE RON NR THE GARBAGE QUESTION Result of the Trip of Health Officer Wood- ward. rr cere Reduction and Crematory Plants in Various Cities Carefally Examined as to Cost and Efficiency. >= ‘Washington may yet‘have a garbage plant of its own, and then complaints of non-col- lections will have to bé piled on the shoul- ders of the District officials instead of be- ing heaped upon a paid contractor. Health Officer W’codward, who has given this ques- tion much consideration, has been on a tour of inspection in Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey. With him was Mr. 8. ?. Bayly, superintenient of the National Sani- tary Company. They returned home yester- day much pleased with what they had seen. Different plans of garbage reduction and cremation were se2n, and there were two practical demonstratiors of cremation with- out any attending nuisance, and at reason- able figures. On the whole, Dr. Woodward found that the garbage in this city is col- lected and disposed of at a very reasonable figure, as compared with what is paid in other cities. % Fines for Non-Collection. One thing of interest to citizens wos learned. This is a provision of law !mpos- ing a fine on the collectors for non-collec- tions where the fault rests with the collec- tors. In one city the penalty ts fifty cents for each well-fourded <omplaint, while in another the pena'ty may be as much as five dollars. Health Officer Woodward fa- vors the reduction plan if it can be done in @ sanitary way and at a reasonable price, for he thinks the farmers should get the benefit of the fertilizer, if possible. Thus far, however, he has found the cremgtories workigg in a p.cre sanitary condition than the reduction plants. In Philadelphia there is an exhibition Furman reduction plant where the garbage and nigut soll are both reduced. Eech ton of garbage or night soll furnishes about one-fourth of a ton of fer- tilizer, and the cost is about $3.50 per ton, while ‘the product sells @ net cost of fifty cents tion. Then, too, there is a crematory of the American Incinerating Company, ed to which there is no unpleasant odor,and a Smit crematory similar to the one in use in Atlantic City is being erected in the heart of the city. Atlantic City’s Crematory. Both Dr. Woodward and Mr. Bayly were deeply interested in the Smith crematory in Atlantic City, where the plant is owned by the city, and operated by the board of health. At this place the garbage is de- stroyed at once, gas being used as fuel. ‘The gas is manufactured at the plant, and ;| the garbage is dumped from the carts di- rectly into the large tanks in which it is incinerated. This plant has been in opera- tion since June, and no repairs have been found necessary. One feature of this plant which attracted especial attention was the small amount of labor necessary to operate it. In the destruction of nearly forty tons of garbage a day only two tons of coal are used, and two laborers are required to do all the work. In connection with this there is also a chamber in which dogs are killed by gas, only ninety seconds being required to kill them. ost A Reductipa ‘Plant. In Paterson, N. J.,i thére is a modified Merz reduction plant, with all the essential features of the Merz system left out. The Merz system consists fi''the drying process by steam, a great ambtag‘of benzine being used. This present plant ‘was erected after the destruction by fire of the Merz plant. present plant wag found objectionable ir that there was an offensive odor connect- ed with the work. i t In Paterson the contractor seems to have a@ good paying business. The city pays $2,300 a month for the;garbage and ash ser- vice and collections made only twice or three times a week, and ini August the high- est daily record of garbage collection was forty-three tons. 2 In Wilmington, Del.;.a Brown crematory was found, which is owned and operated by the city. While this was found-in an excel lent sanitary condition, the cost is more than that of the Smith process. Crude pe- troleum is the fuel used, and about sixty tons of garbage are destroyed a day. With the exception of the Paterson plant, which is by no means the Merz system, the a were all conducted in a good sanitary ay. It was the intention of the health officer and Mr. Bayly to go to Boston and Provi- dence, but the plant in the latter city had shut down, and in Boston a plant similar to the one recently destyoyed here is being con- structed. When this plant gets in operation Dr. Woodward will visit Boston and make an inspection of it. EE HOMERS RACK 200 MILES. Young Birds Fly From Washington to New York. The third and fine race of the young bird series of the Empire City Flying Club or New York was flown last Sunday from this city, 200 miles. The birds were started by Samuel Wallace, who wired as follows: “Birds liberated at 1:40; good start; south- wert wind; clear.” At home the wind was soath southwest, atmcsphere heavy.

Dan Goosby, who assaulted and murdered the eleven-year-old daughter of his employ- er, in Georgia, on Saturday last, was lynch- ed Tuesday night. His erime was exceed- ingly brutal in that he had almost cut ‘her to death before he could overcome her re- sistance. He porter | He was placed in jaif {i Thomasville, Ga., but as his lynching, was certain there, Sherift Doss with an armed posse, removed him and started with hig fa a wagon to the adjoining county. He went over to Mitchell county and turned his prisoner over to Sherif Swindle, who carried him to Albany on Sunday afternoon £3 Tp news of the murder had reached Albany, and as the ne- gro was in great danggn of,being lynched he was carried to Valdosta by order of Judge Hansell, who called a:session of the court for October 1 to try hirtl. '’ Tuesday night Gov. Northen received a telegram from the sheriff of Lowndes coun- ty saying there was @reat danger of the negro being lynched and) asking for mili- tary protection. The governor wired him in return that the mayor was authorized to call out the militia. Hé wited Mayor W. H. Griffin of Valdosta to call out the military and protect the negro. He also wired J. O. Varnandoe, colonel of the fourth Georgia regiment, ordering aim to protect the pris- oner, Early yesterday morning he wired Judge Hansell to cali an extra session of the court. A little later he received a telegram from Mayor Griffin, saying that the jail had been broken open Tuesday night and the negro lynched. Another message came from Col. Varnandoe, saying that the governor's tele- gram was not received until yesterday morning, too late to do anything, as the jail lad been broken open and the negro lynch- ed in the night. ———~- +e —___ Sargent and Hanrahan Elected. Grand Master Sargent and Vice Grand Master Hanrahan were re-elected yester- day at Harrisburg by the convention of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, the former by acclamation, and the latter after an exciting contest. DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. Proper Sewer Facilities. A house-to-house inspection made by the health office people a year ago developed the fact that there were 11,146 premises in the District that did not have proper sewer facilities. As a result of this investigation, and the attention that it has received at the hands of the authorities, the engineer department has recommended that the health office be informed that the Commis- sioners have power under the law to lay sewers wherever they are necessary for the public health, safety or comfort, and there are funds available at present to carry out the law. If the health officer will certify to the Commissioners any localities where sewers or mains, or both, are necessary for public health, it is believed that the sani- tary conditions existing in many parts of the District can be greatly relieved, and work will proceed more rapidly than if, as at present, such work is practically re- stricted to the cases where the interested parties make complaint. . Some Improvements Ordered. Orders have been issued by the Commis- sioners to commence work, under the as- sessment and permit system, upon the im- provements recently advertised, and against which no objections have been made. con- sisting of laying new brick and cement sidewalks, setting new granite curbs, relaying sidewalks and resetting curbs in ‘various localities throughout the city; also for work under the provisions of th» assessment and permit law, and the lus governing the m&king of service con- nections with water mains and sewers, against which improvements no protes‘s have been made. The estimated cost of the latter branch of the work is $11,700. In ad- dition, orders have been issued for laying the following sidewalks under the provis- ions of the permit system: Cement sidewalk in front of 457 and 459 Massachusetts ave- nue; cement sidewalk, with new curb, in front of 1327 and 1331 Connecticut avenue; brick sidewalk in front of 7 to 13 P street; brick sidewalk in front of lot 78 26th street, between P and Q, cement sidewalk in front of 506 and 508 10th street. Action on Liquor Licenses. Only a few cases came up before the ex- cise board at its postponed meeting yester- day afternoon. All of the retail cases which received favorable action were applica- tions for traisfer of Hcense. Albert E. Shoemaker appeared as the new attorney for the Anti-saloon League. The cases act- ed upon were: Allowed, retail—Thomas Walsh, 93 D street; Richard Murphy, 426 10th street; James McDonald, 807 North Capitol street northeast, and Joseph J. Finley, 2029 K street. Allowed, wholesale—Charles H. Raub & Co., 1240 New Hampshire avenue. Rejected, retall—Ernst Rees, fronting on east side of James Creek canal; William Kemp, 604 34 street southwest, and Henry Xander, 216 17th street southeast. Schedule of Sewers. The following sewers have been added to the’ current schedule of sewers to be re- placed during the present fiscal year from the appropriation for relief sewers and re- placing obstructed sewers: Rhode Island avenue between. 14th street and Iowa circle, and in the alleys of square 242; west side of llth street between New York avenue and M street northwest; south side of Mary- land avenue between 3d and 4 1-2 street southwest; north side of T street between Sth and 9th northwest; D street between 17th and 18th northwest; part of sewer in Kingman street between P and Q and 13th and 14th northwest. Mr. Nicholson’s Compla! Chas. Nicholson, 1307 11th street south- east, has written to the Commissioners to complain of an alleged case of neglect on the part of the police. He states that a large hole has been made in front of his house in the sidewalk, which makes ft dan- gerous for pedestrians. Several accidents have been narrowly averted. He has re- ported the matter to the police repeatedly, but they have paid no attention to it. Are in Need of Water. R. H. Roberts concludes a letter to the Commissioners with the following pathetic appeal: “Please help us, for we are in need of water.” He lives at 3224 Sherman avenue northwest. In his letter, which is also signed by other residents of the neighbor- hood, he states that owing to the removal of a pump at the corner of Sherman avenue and Farragut street they have absolutely suffered for the want of water for a period of three months. He adds that in order to get water to wash it is necessary to go out on Steuben stre2t, and that it costs heavily to have water carted to the houses. Lack of Sewers. The unhealthy condition of the streets in the neighborhood of 15th and B streets southeast, caused by lack of proper drain- age or sewerage, is the text of a com- munication received by the Commissioners today from Andrew M’Garraghy, 223 Penn- sylvania avenue southeast. He states that there is a trunk sewer on 14th street, and suggests that a branch sewer be run down B street to relieve the pressure, secure proper drainage, and prevent further sick- ness in the neighborhood from stagnant water ‘Want Information in New York. ‘The Commissioners today received a com- munication from J. C. Pumpelly, secretary of the City Improvement Soclety of New York, in which he states that he is credit- ably informed that the beating of carpets, Tugs, etc., on the premises adjoining private residences is forbidden by law in Wash- ington, and that the law is well enforced. He adds that under their sanitary code the same practice is also prohibited, but that the authorities find great difficulty in mak- ing the ordinance effective. He asks that the Commissioners notify him as to the means employed to enforce the law. Notes, John G. Bright has been appointed su- perintendent of construction of the new school house in Mount Pleasant, and Irvin S. Barker, superintendent of the recon- struction of Georgetown market. In reference to the complaint of the Ben- ning Citizens’ Association of the danger at the Baltimore and Ohio railroad cross- ing at Benring road, the Commissioners have approved the recommendation of In- spector Begges that the company be re- quired to maintain electric signals at the point mentioned. — New York Democratic Candidates. An Albany, N. Y., dispatch sent last night says: At a late hour tonight the As- sociated Press has authority for announc- ing the following list for candidates for the democratic nomination for the governor- ship: John Boyd Thatcher, Albany; Judge Rufus Peckham; Frederick Cook, Rochester; Daniel L. Lockwood, Buffalo; Judge Robt. Karl; Judge William Gaynor; Smith Weed, Plattsburg. Mr. Thatcher is an ex-mayor of Albany, and was .« commissioner at the world’s fair.

A large number of invitations have reach- ed town from Mrs. William H. Gaines of Warrenton, Va., for the marriage of her daughter, Miss Elizabeth Fairfax Gaines, to Hon. Thomas Smith. The wedding will be celebrated on Wednesday, October 10, at 8:30 o'clock in the evening, in St. James’ Protestant Episcopal Church at Warrenton. A reception will follow at the residence of the bride’s mother. Miss Gaines, both on the paternal and maternal sides, is connect- ed with many of the oldest and best-known families of Virginia, and the wedding will be largely attended. The bride-elect has not only beauty, but has many attainments. Paradise, the home of the bride's mother, is one of the largest and finest places in Fauquier county, and is near the Warren- ton Hunt Club. An interesting event was the marriage Tuesday evening at Ryland M. E. Church of Miss Jennie Bruer and Mr. Julian P. Dodge. The bride was handsomely attired in a traveling costume of dark blue, trim- med with velvet, and carried a bouquet of La France roves. The ushers were Messrs. Wm. M. Shafer of Langley, Va. W. E. Dulin of Kensington, Md., Thos, Brown of Alexandria, Va., and Mr. Mills of this city. Immediately after the wedding the couple departed for Baltimore, New York and Man- chester, N.
