Davis, the Victim, Dead—Statement of Mrs. Christ--No Law for a Negro. Malvina Is a portion of Maspeth, Queens county, 80 named to give fragrance to a sale of lots by an auctioneer. There is a grocery store and groggery kept in the place bya German named George Christ. On Friday night last a colored man named Charles Davis went into the store. He was a little intoxicated and quarrelled with the proprietor, and the latter alleges that he was struck by Davis. The son of the proprietor took up the insult for his father and struck Davis, Then Mrs, Christ came to her eon’s aid, he being unable to contend with Davis, and with a bung- starter fe!led him to the floor, Between the three Davis received a shocking beating. His head was cut in many places, three of the cuts being enough to contain a man's finger. Davis was a very powerful man. He was not rostrated y the wounds, but suffered terribly, fe wanted the Christ family arrested, but that peculi@r failing of the Newtown authorities still lived, and, having no money, be had no friends. terday a reporter visited Maivina, and fornd the house of Davis locked, It is a two story house, with a very neat exterior, Karly in the morning Dayls got tp and dressed himgelf, At ten o'clock, while — suffering from fever, he started out to get money which was due him for sorne mowing done jast Friday, He had to walk about two miles unprotected from the gun, and on the way he waa prostrated by the fever and heat, the wounds were inflamed, and when his wife next heard of him, about two o'clock, he was dead. This accounts for the condi- tion of tha premises. The reporter visited Christ's house, and from Mrs, Christ learned thet ber husband was in New York correct- ing some of statements made in yesterday's beet Mrs. Christ did not believe that Davis was dead, She stated that on Priday night Davis wanted her husband to go out on the strect and fighth He struck her husband, and then her son, seventeen years of age, struck him with a club and note beer glass. She helped to beat him, but her iivsband did not. She says the fight grew out of a debt of $6, which Davis refused to pay, THE INTERNATIONALS, The Third Meeting of the Congress of the Society.

Dr. Jaynes used tho greatest discretion and jndgment in the selection | ofthe men, and assieted as he was by Dr. Cecearini, whose experience of the workings of the depart- | mnt were found to be of great value, there could be little chance of nm error being made. About twelve o'clock, all the arrangements | being completed, the dovtors started on the | tour of inquisition, followed by a number. of attachés of the Henao, Upon arriving in the street the different parties Separated to go in their | several directions, and the labor of the day was soon begun. Dr. Judson, accompanied by two snb- inspectors, went directly to the Sixth ward, In this locality, although the greatest care had been taken by the police of tho dis- trict to enforce the health laws and make the people cleanly in thelr habits, a frightt condition of things was found. The huddling of | the people together In such vast numbers in these dreadful dens is bad enough at any time, and | always productive of the most destructive diseases; | but at atime when tho city 1s suffering from such | an atmosphere as the population is at present GROANING UNDER the results of this packing human beings into holes are perfectly frightful, The ordinary limits of Indecency are completely lost sight of, health is forgotten, and the Inhabi- tants rendered indolent by the heat, wallow in dirt | rather than move about to clean themselves, A great dedl of this is due to the construction of the houses in which the poor pea- ple are compelled to seek homes. These buildings are put up by a set of rapacious greedy men, who only count the dollars they bring, and never give a thought to the lives sacri- ficed inside them. Hundreds of them are the merest shells, hammered together with lightning speed and repted withont the very first principles of com- foxt or humanity being attended to. The Sixth ward abounds in mausoleums of this description. In some parts of Mulberry street there are houses inhabited by hundreds of people that would be a disgrace to barbarism. Block aiter block of these pest holes rear their festering heads to the skies, und it is indeed time some authority inter- posed to save a remnant of the People’s lives. In one place alone, called “Rag alley,” about two blocks away from Park street, there 1s a nest of houses that would ieee in any other city in the world to inject the entire population on either side of this block of houses, An alleyway runs W to about midway through to the next stree' Both these alleys were Dp tage teeming with the semi-nude population of the tenements, and it was only here and there when a head or an arm move that a human being could be distinguishe from a bundle of filthy rags. The famous or, more critically, the infamous “Tabernacle” still stands on its old foundation further down the same street, in all its accustomed filth. Every floor and Tany of the wretched rooms in this monstrous shell were visited, anda more dreary, sad_or re- .t=Pve picture no eye conld possibly palnt. Misery, lespair, and donbtiess hunger struggled with DIRT, DISEASH AND DEATH. One corner On each landing was made the ash and garbage receptacle of the floor, and the stench arising from these gatherings of dirt was posi- tively sickening. There is plenty of ventilation in the front of the unsightly structure, but the great traps of windows only serve admit the foul odors given out by the several barracks between it and the street. Those immediately on Mulberry street are built of brick, but the “Tabernacle ” and its additions are wood from tur- ret to foundation. From the Sixth to the Fourth wards the physicians travelled. Scenvsof the same description Met the eye in that locaiity at every footstep, street upon street of these disseminating dens were found and almost allin the same condl- tion, In the Fourteenth ward things were not 40 bad, although there were some one or two cases in Mott street that were fully up ‘to the level of any filth found in the Sixth or Fourth wards, Owing to tho niggardiiness of the landlords and the se- verity with which the captains of police are carry- ing out the orders of the Commissioners in arresting every one throwing ashes or garbage into the street, the Interiors of the houses emit a stench never before found in them. The landlords wiil | not supply the people with proper ash boxes, the police will not allow them to throw the filth into the streets, and the result is the poor creatures are compelled to reer the stuffin their houses, to hill their children and sicken themselves. ROOKERIES OF THE EAST SIDP. “Arrah, how, and what are yes afther terday, cap'n,” was distinguishable among a dozen more foul-mouthed utterances which were mingled in one volume of vulgar salutations as the HERALD, repre- sented by an innocent young man and champtoned by a stout, good-humored policeman, stalked into the darkness and filth of a tenement house hall- way in Fifth street, near First avenue, The door was partially ajar, but there was no back entrance, and = the nook between the re | wind- ing stairs and the dirty wall was haif filled with the ag Mite of the whole habitation, The re- porter, followed by his body-gnard, plunged hold! Into the dim obscurity and stumbled up the ascent, The first Pits was crowded with dirty-faced children, attired in dirty garments, ragged at tho extremities and disclosing bare fect and ankles, well clotted in sun-dried filth, Groping along the passage and mounting flight after Might of creckin stairs, they at length came to the highes' or sixth story, where @ little light struggled through a cobwebbed and dusty sky-light, and disclosed to the vision the dark, greasy-looking: panels of a worn and battered door. Knocking upon this a voice from within sald, “Come in,’ and they entered, A SCENE IN LOW LPR. ‘The room was asinall one, There was no carpet | upon the floor; a washtub stood in the middle of |, Many places are in a the room upon a chair, and over this o large, mus- cular woman with red hair and large cars, was | pending, as if she had paused in her work, and Was twisting her head halt olf her shoul. | dera, and doubtless producing some uncom. | tortable feeling in her neck by attempting to survey the visitors with one covp Mail, without | The good looks of the re- | porte hleld of the policeman (Mr. Willlam Murphy) in the background, caused her to stand np.

The mother was wachi & white plaited sack of her own, and wore in her ears huge brassy rings, She satd that she and her husband had lived there for six mouths, She thought the house was kept very clean. ‘The stairs were stumbled down aga‘n, and every room in the place was visited, Most of them were in the same condition, Among a score of other houses which were visited in the Seventeenth ward there was found filth ineach one suficlent to shock the nerves of any erson who lived habitually after a respectable ahion. Some of these localities have been aoe in police history as being the dirtiest in the KELLY'S ALLEY in Fleventh street. It been noted in past yours as one of the most dangerous resorts of petty hieves and rough characters, There are two houses and two rear ones, each containing &1x families, tour on a door; this makes the oman of this smal! court abont three hundred persons, Some of the families contain a dozen members, Who are all crowded at night inte one sleeping neat ment, where the alr, during the day cven, is utterly intolerable, from the rank stench, BULL RUN ALLBY is next to Kelly’s alley. Ita population numbers 120 families, The houses are yery old and rickety, and some of the apartinents are in simply horribie condition, In most of the stteets of the Seventeenth ward the cellars of many of the huge tenement houses are packed with rags jathered by the ragpickers throughout the city, and here the sacks lie for months steaming and rotting in the damp atmos- Phere, and the stench rises up throngh the grated openings to the strects and through the hallways passes all through the houses, It is not a healthy otor. Tn First avenue is another »iley or court called “SERASTAPOR,” in the snrroundings of which many @ criminal has hidden or found loopholes for escape from the zeat of his pursners, This block of tenement houses was once densely populated, but is now a little more erly and cloan than in formerdays, The def tive sewers, however, give forth an unhealthy sinel!, and the cellars are very filthy. Another place visited, of former celebrity. was PARRAFIN, (a narrow, dirty alloy, 1n which are slx houses). Tm these reside no less than five hundred mortals, who | breathe every day of their lives a horrible stench, Which arises from the co! rible flith, Mountin the houses to the panied by the pol opposita fight emerged from coart, called densely the at; y-stouy, the reporter, accom- mau, descended again by an into another house, “and tho darkness into Hermann place, just. as populated and far more filthy’ than the in.” A score of negresses sat q of the houses which the ex e It proved to be the homo of about one hundred and twenty persons, allof whom were black, Most of the sparimeuts, as weil as the hall- ways, were very fllthy, In Second stroet, near avenue A, a honso was found in the back yardof which Was gathered poor of the foul exerescence whieh ooze8 out from ne pli ofan adjoining stable, ‘The celler is also very filthy. BELGH'S HUMANITY TO BIPEE pnth precinet, among the ments visited, In company with OMleer Bb were those owned by the Hanthropist, Mr. Be 4 Years ago ho kept a ah dison street, and, before he retired, built ween that and the river, a large biock of houses, They are now let out to poor faiilivs. They are not kept in a altel fino condition. In the cellar of ono the contents of an eet sewer have been leaking for years, and the ten- ants complain that, althouga trom this cause the stench is fearfully offensive, the kindly Inudlord has always refused to have any repairs attempted, A women witha pliable tongue talker rapidly for aboutan hour with the reporter about the contrast beiween his eaek! regarding the treatment of horaes and the one he practices in reference to hu- ‘ola Her conclusions were very sharply worded, At 303 Madison street the sewer, which has an oponlkg in tho back yard, emits a very strong stench, Many of the houses tn Forsyth street, in the Tenth precinct, present ampie Opportunity for the exer- cise of the zeai of the Health officers, and the gut- ters are rank with steaming garbage. THA EIGHTH WARD was given incharge of Health Inspector Hughes, who had for assistants Drs. Duberceau and Wade, with instructions to make a thorough inspection of the tenement houses and their surroundings, and to make @ report of those that where in bad sant- tary condition, which reports wiil be laid before the Board of Health at their next meeting. An attaché of the Heranp, with one of the Heaith Inspectors, made a tour of the worst portions of this ward, consisting of portions of Sullivan, Thomp- son, South Fifth avenue, Greene and other streets, Where the tenement liouses, especially from Spring to Caual street, are in abundance, It is not definitely known at present how many of this class of houses are in this ward, but the number is sup- posed to be about eight hundred, the majority of which, however, are In a good average condition, and very few being more than three stor high, so that the number of — families in each house must necessarily be smail when com- ared with the houses in many of the other wards aroughout the city. As will De seen by the follow- ing report, however, there are several rear houses, built only a short distance from the front ones, ‘8, besides ager in hor. ag stairway In one of tene. | Which are packed with human beings as much as the space will permit, the small yards of which in frightful sanitary con- dition; slop, ashes, garbage and other house refuse’ being thrown there instead of into the street, a8 was formerly the case. The reason for this is assigned to the watchfulness of the police in obedience to the general order lately issued by the Commissioners instructing the oMeers “to other offal in the streets.” Where families live so closoly huddled together {n sial! rooms the house- hold refuse must be got rid of some manner, and as many of thein do got care to take much trouble abouf the manner in whiich they will dispose of it they are apt to throw it in the nearest possible place, so long as it is outside of their own doors, and if they cannot throw it in the street without danger of arrest the next place they turn to is THR YARD OR THE UNUSED CELLARS, many of the latter places being filled with all sorts of refuse matter. In that portion of the Eighth ward bounded by Spring, Grand and Greene and Thompson streets at least fifty per cent of the houses, yards, &e, are in a bad sanitary condition—that is, In a condition detrimental to the heaith and dangerous to the lives of occupants, and sources of infection to the neighborhood generally. The pringipal causes of the Luproper sanitary cou- dition of these houses are due to the improper coa- struction of building and overcrowding and negiecct. In many of the houses visited yesterday the rooms of the rear houses were eutireiy cut oi from direct sunlight, and the ventilation is necessarily very imperfect, Many of the hallways also, — evel n the and — apparenti, well-built houses, an dark that at inidday it is almost tinpossible to dis- cern objects in them. In many tnstances the floors, wails, stairs and bannisters are in a dangerous con- dition, while a constant unwholesome moisture permeates the air, Several of the older houses in the district are very deficient in drainage, as siops, garbage, ashes, &c., can be seen in large quantitics in the drains, the latter being choked up with solid matter, while the tenants still continue to throw their offensive matter piaces instead of making a report of the nuisance to the anthorities of tie Board of Health. Many of theso drains ave Running below the basement floors of the dwellings, and should they get choked up collections of stagnant and offensive fluids take pl when the whole house becomes permeated with a disagreeable stench, which very often continaes so until sick- ness or Intolerance of the odor leads to complaint and investigation, In that portion of the district vis- ited many of the houses, especially those on thomp- into these son street inhabited both by blacks and whites, | both colors being represented on the stoops, win- dows and other places about the houses they occu- pled, while In a few places were little Italian hoys with violins‘and harps, playing to groups of both pariles, a few of whom were dancing @ waltz with out regard to color, while in other places it was almost AN IMPOSSIBILITY TO GT UP OR DOWN STATRS, with the number of men aud women sitting on them. During the inspections it was found that the tenants were nearly all willing to co jain of the stench and Mti surrounding them, w y of them would live in it all their lives than lend a helping hand to clear it HERALD reporter questioned a few of the women Who complained the loudest about the dirt as to way they did not keep tueir hailways and rooms cleaner, when they became highly indignant, one spec auy, & big red-faced woman, with Who sainls— ook here, Misther Board of Mealth, do 5 I'm going to clane this piace for the la to turn me out and get olier tenauts that more money for the ron If it looked dacin' In these tenements where they are so crowded the ocenpants live In a wrotelted state of poverty, the hoors being bare, with the exception of dirt ac- cumulated for weeks and encrusted on the boards, while around the room would be a few rickety stools or cli & Small table, composed of a dry goods box, not unfrequently gracing another portion of the wretched apartments, Below will be found ashort account and description of a few of the ten- | ements visited reverse: ‘The first place cailed at where there were a large number of tenants living was 105 Thompson street, ‘This building is a four story brick and is occupied by three families, with a butcher shop on the first hoor, all being in a pretty fair condition.
