Newport “Quiet asthe Step of a Courticr, Lonely as Life in a Lighthouse and Uninterest- ing as a Shooting Cracker the Day After the Fourth.” NeEwrort, July 17, 1873, Tt is one of the characteristic slurs which the Saturday Review casts upon the watering place correspondent, that he will insist upon being jolly and brillant. No matter how depressing may be the circumstances by which n@ is surrounded; no matter how the season may flag, abd the hotels languish, and the drives grow barren, and the amusements pall, and the loiterers dwindle on the beach, your typical watering-place correspondent, says the above mentioned censor, always deems it incumbent upon himsel! to be amusing. And what ifhe does? The ambition ts very laudable so long as the writer succeeds in carrying it out, and so long as he does so in the right direction, And it Must be owned that watering-place life, in the main, whether in this cotintry or Europe, gener- ally affords sufictent opportunities for his purpose. For the last twenty years there has generally been something interesting and pleasant to be said of most of the resorts of this kind. Whether you wandered amcng the splendid gambiing hells of Baden- Baden or the eccentric Swiss baths and the equally unique ones in the siender valicys of the Pyrenees; ‘Whether you lost yourself in the dolce far niente of Lucca and Castellamare or visited any of the quaint little resorts scattered over England, or plunged into Téplitz, Heligoland or Ischl, or, finaily, whether you contented> yourself at home and resiricted yourself to Saratoga or Newport, there ‘Was always something to be seen and generally something to be written. But this year, so far as Newport is concerned, seems to be the exception, and it would be pleasant to those who have de- lightful memories of what this renowned old watering place used to be to be able justly to ascribe its present failure in charma to cer- tain vague peculiarities of the season easier, perhaps, to feel than to analyze. Every hotel proprietor in the place admits that the present is, eo far, one of the dullest Seasons, if not the very dullest, of which his Memory bears record. The beating of your own heart and the breaking of the waves are almost the only sounds you hear, excepting, perhaps, the Occasional roll of a carriage in front of the hotel and the staccato clang of the electric beil. There are no balls aud no flashing toilets; no stunning equipages and very few dashing belles. The three principal hoteis of the place—the Ocean House, the Atlantic and Aquidnick—are not much more than half jw, The expectant visitor who has frantically telegraphed for rooms finds himself in Much the sane situation as the gentleman who breathlessly rushed to secure a seat at the late Robert Houdin’s tarewell performance in Man- chester, The gentleman attacked the box ofiice furiously, purchased his ticket in @ transport, Bearcely took time to pocket the change, and, bursting past the astonished doorkeeper, scarcely hoping to be able to eibow his way to his seat, found himself in a vast audi- torium, occupied by an audience of two! Newport is not quite so bad as this, but the one thing suggests the other. There has been so much coo! Weather that people have deferred their ocean visits to a Jater date than usual, It is not necessary to argue, from tue paucity of the present season, that this pretty and celebrated litue watering place is in a state of decadence. That has been af- firmed of it so often without truth, that its friends cau afford to laugh at the slander now. But still, picture to yourseli the scene, and then say whether Or not it is particularly exhiiarating. Ail watering- place life is, in essential characteristics, the same— breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper at much the Same hours, and between them nothing to do but to kill time in any manner deemed best, the ladies to sit on the pi asand eye é€ach ot er'’s dresses and read the latest novel, the gentlemen to repair to the fishing banks or the billiard room. Those who bathe mect together in general rendezvous at eleven, just iin time to manutacture, between breeze and brine, splendid spirit and appetite for the next meal. But you na‘urally asaociate With ali this ideas of vivacity, motion, brilliancy and liveliness. You hear in imagination the voice of society mingling with the thunder of the ocean, the rustic of fashion with the gigantic murmurs of the deep. Many of the slivering and lively phases of humanity you expect to sec, Set of and framed by a sort of rectangle of the elements, All that is to be said is that at Newport tiis fancy is not ace tualized. There isa hush on ali things. Even the roar of the ocean seems scarcely a roar any longer. At appears to come out of the sea shell. instead of going into it. The colored driver who waits with his wagon to drive you to the fishiag ground looks Jugubrious, through lack of orders, He offers n+ ducements of bass and tautog to you in vain, and drives with melancioly meekness to one hotel after the other, standing shyiy off on the opposite side of the road, whence he casts reproachiul and despairiag glances at the hotel windows, much after the manner Of aD organist who has given his penuyworth of opera tune without receiving the penny. Ihe very waiters go about softly as if there was sometody dead in the next room, The voice of the hotei cierk has @ pensive accent as he inquires the number of your room, ior which you have been paying $8 per day, and the very barber Whio shaves you sharpens his razor with a deep- Beated dejection, Which sets your tecth on erge, though not calculated to give one to the instru- Ment. ‘There is a juneral vacancy in the dining room. The unoccupied waiters, about one-hali the entire number, stand in melancholy ranks, looking AS theogh their richest relatives had died and leit them nothing. It is easy to see that the watering yas Rachel is crying for her children, because hey refuse to come jorthin the proper numbers, You go down to breakfast and find, perhaps, forty people seated at twenty tables, which woul accommodate about five timesasmany. Things are, perhaps, @ littie better at dinner and about it tea. But even at dinner there is sensuous display of dress for which watering-place fashion and femininity have Deen, time out of mind, renowned, Where are those ravishing toilets that Worth might have invented, and that che little troop cf periodicals devoted tala monde deseribe with such technical NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, JULY 19,- Tenctty?

Most of the usual r-sidents are down, and there are the vrdinary quotas from New York, Bos- tou, Providence ana Puiladelpiia, with almost as large 4 sprinkiing as commoniy from other cities. But these, though they may give some character to the place, uv uot lend it much iile, They serve on occasion (o lend ciarm to the balls which might tuis season have graced the hotels, but have not.

Pernaps my word may not be worth a great deal but it is worth, at least, the price of a single copy of the HERALD, and any one who pays four cents for the purpose of seel 4 what the HkRALD says abdut Newport and the Newporters may have the rivilege o| making up his mud as to that ques- Bion. They have a piace here called “Pi tory,’ which is descrived by local tradition a8 “oue of the wildest and most interesting points in the vicinity of Newport.’ I was toid that it was “a deep and yawning chasm,” running back from the sea, and that it must have been produced by sonie mighty upheaving far back in the world’s aC was told that it was no one knew how many feet deep, and that it required @ Herculean set of nerves to approach the brink and look over. Now who wouid not, under these circumstances, have expected to be impressed? The Shah vimself would, notwithstanding all that Russia, Germany. Great Britain Wrenaa and ille’s, Betlevuc ay. | America have done to accomplish that object. I spent nearly the whole of one delightful afternoon tely in looking forward to this pleasure and nearly the rest of it in driving to it.

As my driver neared the spot and pointed out the locatity visions of all the most overwhelming aud stupendous spectacles nature affords flashed before me in the most in- congraous combinations, I topped grandeur | on grandeur im order that J might fore- taste in imagination, I fancied the aurora | borealis in the Great Cave of Kentucky, or Niagara sheered With fire, or the siorm described by Victor Hugo in “fhe Toilers of the Sea” taking piace on one of the great steppes of Asia, or an earthquake and whirlwind simulianeously experienced witam the crater oj Mount Vesuvius, When, towards the close of a bright aiternoon, my driver stopped his horse besiae a rail tence and offered to show me the way I determined to go alone, A moment's reflection, however, convinced me that it would not be sa Thad read of persons of vivid imagi- nation hurting themselves, through some obscure impulse, irom the tops of Nghthouses whence they we ooking. Suppose that in one rash moment, inflamed by the terrors of ‘Purgatory,’ 1 should huri mysell from the brink and find an early grave (ft 1 happened to reach the bottom in time) in the seething food below! So I wok the driver a8 @& matter of safety, merely, and sald to myself that I would give tne honest fellow fifty cents if he brought me back alive. Some may think I rate my Iie dear.

I walked up to the edge aud looked in; I tried to shudder, but my lair re- fused to rise, my flesh tocreep. The marrow in My bones Was as casy and comfortable as though I were swallowing turtie soup. 1 peered steadily over the edge and tried to manufacture that sick- hess of the stomach and swirl ot the brain which precipices judiciously administered are sald to promote, It was of no use, the irenzy wouldn’t come, Such @ wholesale fraud upon a precipice 1 never suw belore, and bope never to ste again, It was beneath the contempt Of the writer of a dime novel. li Sylvanus Cobb or Ned Buntiine shoud attempt to introduce ruch a pilitul precipice us this into one of his works his reputation would be gone forever. ‘Tradition says a over was once dared by his mistress to leap its “yawning” mouth for her glove, All that Lhave to say is either that tradition lies (which, I am sorry Lo say, she oiten does) or that the mouth Hine so tired OF yawning that it has shut up ever since. “10s a fearful place to look into," sald my guide, shuddering. “itis, deed,” said[, “1 wouldn't like to look into itiong.”” And as I walked away I thought [ would like to look into the people wno print such dreadful hes about such innocent localities.

THE BATHING, After this it became very ditticult to persuade me to go anywhere, uniess you told me bveiorehaud that 1b Was not worth seeing.

THAT OLD STONE MILL, Among the other institutions of Newport ought to be mentioned the Vid Stone Mill, upon whicn I Was disposed to look with venerat.on, until my faiti in human nature tn general and nature at Newport in particular was shaken in the touching manner above narrated. It stands upon a large plot of green directly in front of the Atlantic louse, aud may be taken for anything you wish to imagine it to be. It tne band played in it morning | and evening you would say it made & good music | house, and if sumebody set up a soda water toun- tain there you would call that a capital idea, At any rate, it furnishes every visitor 0 dabbles im archwology something to speculate avout, A good many year's ago the Sucicty of Danish Antiquaries at Copenhagen desided that it was built by Norse- men in the twelitn century, I have examined all | the records that nave come in my way, and find myself in a long lane that seems to have no turning, or rather which turns again into itseif aud leads one over the same ground ad inginitum, Let us be thankful to who- ever built the Old Stone Mili, and let us be equaily thanktul to those who didn’t pullitdown, What should we do wituout these architectural mum- miles, come to us ‘rom out 01 a dead and forgotten past and speaking to us with no intelligible lan- guager If there is anything for which 1 {eel par- ticularly ovliged to Fatuer Time it is lor surround- ing the nigetesnth century with so many relics which no one kueWs anything about and which rofessional antiquaraas shrewdly forbear utter- ‘ng their opinions of joy ar they shouid be mis- taken and be heid in scorn at‘i contumely. Oue of the advantages of being a monument is that the older you grow the more interesting you become and the more people come to look at you. Every- body is anxious to take you away with them, su, although every one assists in puliing you to pieced | no one does so maliciously. I ANTIQUITIES AND DRIVES, Nothing is truer than that shoddyism is not at home at Newport. Here you find steady re- spectability and people of hereditary wealth and good family, Waether peuple come here to bathe, or drive, or fish, or sail, or to peramoulate tie plazzas and listen to the music I will not pretend tosay. It is easy to specify what they go to Sara- toga and Long Branch for. There the show and the shoddy are too often hand in hand, For solemn elegance and comiortable decorum give me Newport. Some peopic, however, prefer old port. | Ido not grudge them their tastes. It you want to look at antiquities there are the Jewish syna- eogue, which was built in 1762; the Jewish ceme- | very, Which began to be occupied about the sam date; the Redwood Liprary, incorporated in 1747 the State House, built in 1742; ‘Trinity church, where bishop Berkeley preached in 1729, and Ver non tlouse, where Washington almost lived, being entertained there by the Count de RKochambeau. What a pity Washington could'nt | have died in as many houses as he lived in. Onty | that thing can’t be done. It you wish for drives, take the bathing beacies, of which there are three, | and all of them worth trying. ‘Take a look at the | Clif cottages, v.sit the Glen and a pretty little val- | ley, named Paradise, Saucinest Point js the favorite resort of the fishermen, and from Honey | man’s Hill a magnificent view can be obtamed of ston's Fond, the beach, the occan, the avenue, ‘ort Adains, the Dumplings, Narragansett Bay, Canonicut Park and the white line of tie med, s city, with the not public buildings and | cottages, looking | li one of Kawaseg’s house-thronged pictures, ‘The drive to Mian- tow Hill is extremely pieasant.

For my part, 1 don’t see why the poor correspondent should be crowded out. I don’t believe even in literary “rings,” and ii Tennyson were to form one I should hate it as much as ‘Tam- many.

Some Of the finest villas in the city are located on Narra- fangett avenue, and the “Forty steps” with which it terminates would be well worth going down if you didn’t have to go up them again, Canonicut Park might almost be termed “New Newport.” It consists of about five hundred acres, at the extreme north of the island, midway between Newport and Narragansett. It is designed for private resl- dences only. Thad intended, and perhaps 1 was expected, to say something about the jadies’ fasmons, but as {it would be diMicuit to write an e® Bay about MNon-existence, so it would be impossible to gay much that is interesting of any- thing so near that Condition as an old fashion. On this head the only point to which it is prudent to bring my remarks is that point of punctuation which is expressed by a period, Byt if you ask me What is the greatest antiquity at Newaort. I ranie. the ocean; what is its greatest humbug ? I answer, “Purgatory ;” what is ifs greatest merit? the meals; and what is ita greatest privilege ? that of being a8 exclusive as you please. The best and the worst that I have to say of Newport is that it is as quiet as the step of @ courtier, as lonely as life in @ lighthouse, and a8 uninteresting as a shooting-cracker the day after the Fourth. WATERING PLACE NOTES. “The prospect of the season at Mount Mansfield indicates more visitors than ever before,” says & correspondent, Tie view from it ia fasctnating. Luzerne, on the Adirondack Railroad, twenty- five miles from Saratoga, is growing in popularity. William C, Plerpont and family, of Brooklyn, and Moses H. Grinnell and niece, of New York, and Join V. L. Pruyn, of Albany, are among the guests. ‘the Kearsarge House, South Conway, N. H., is already nearly filled with guests, The Alleghany Springs, Virginia, is rapidly be- coming the Summer home of the Virginians. Among the guests of the Alleghany House are Generals Johnston and Hood, Hon. J. W. Jounston and Governor Walker, Summer travel is setting towards the Glen Onoko, in the Lehigh Valley, where the legend says that Onoko, the Indian warrior— : He who slew the Great Bear, slew the Great Bear of the Mountain— perished with bis lovely bride Wenonah. Among the points of interest are ‘‘The Fat Man’s Misery,’’ Onoka Falls, Ciameieon Falls, the ‘Heart of the Glen,” Moss Cascade and the Sceptre Cascade, Mauch Chunk is the railway point of debarkation. An exchange says there is a pass in the Catskill Mountains, between Shandaken Centre and West- kiil, Ulster county, N. Y,, where snow and Ice can be found at all seasons of the year. General Joseph E. Jobnston was in Lynchburg, Va., on Saturday last week. Anna E, Dickinson is at Swampscott, Mass. Green Lake, the Lake George of Wisconsin, isa popular resort for Western pleasure seekers, Two passenger trains daily from Saratoga to the Adirondacks, The Ariington, at Saratoga, overflowed Tuesday evening, and late guests skirmished about Sara- toga for places to lay their heads, Dr. Thompson, of this city, is at the Grand Union, Saratoga, Fernando Wood and family are at their Saratoga cottage. Dr. Simpson Craig and Rey. I. Sidney, of England, are sampling Saratoga water at the Grand Union. Bishop Wood, of Philadelphia, is at Congress Hall, Saratoga. At the Grand Union Hotel Ball, Saratoga, on Wednesday evening, Miss Agnes White, Miss Minnie Slade, Miss Anna Scribner, Mise Bailey, Mrs. Julia A.

To THE EpiToR OF THE HERALD:— Aliow me to call your attention to what I call an imposition on the public. I came up town the other day on acar of the City Hall, Broadway and Untversity Place line. Aiter I had entered tae car T found that I hav no smaller change than a $5 Dill; but I found an Englis sixpence in my pocket, which I gave to the couductor. He handed me back one cent. I told himI would not give him sixpence, English, for six cents; that it was at least worth twelve cents. He handed it back to me, I then gave him a ¢65 bill. He told me I would have to get out of the car to change it, as he couidn’r, I said to him I would not bd out to change the bill, that it was his place to change the bill, He next pulled the strap and threatened to put me off the car. He changed his mind and put my $5 bill in his pocket. When I was getting out at Fourth street, | demanded my change $4 95, Ne fold me he would take it to the depoi to get chan:¢, And that [should go there forit, An old gentlem24 zex.to me paid my fare or he would fave taken my billto the depot. Had he been civil and asked me wy address so tnat he could send me my change 1 would not find fault with hum; on the contrary, he abuse!) and threatened to put me off the car. lwas so frightened that T handed my card lo a gentleman just getting out at the time that I might have him fora Witness. Now, Mr, kditor, do you not think that superintendsats or managers should be more circumspect when employing men for conductors, @ position where civility and politeness are absolutely necessary? I am nineteen years in business in this city andl never met a man so unfit for the position he now holus ag the above conductor, No. 65. ROBERT P, LEONARD. Full Fares for Children. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— _ Similar complaints may be made by others tnan the “Lady of the Nineteenth Ward” of conductors’ extra charges. Last week, in one of the Astoria vars, | witnessed an instance, A young man of seventeen or eighteen years of age got on at the Eye Infirmary (Eleventh street, 1 think), kading by the hand a little sister of four or five years, who had been operated on at the Infirmary. Her little form attracted sympathy, for we knew that beneath that thick blue Veil and goggles there was suffer- ing. The litue suierer’s baby hands, as they lay qutiyin her lap, told any one of her infantile seis but the conductor exacted full sare for her. in reply to a remonstrating question of a gentle- man on the opposite seat the brother replied that it was the first time he had ever been asked full fare for her, Query—Did the company get that Jare? if they did, was ita just one? ANOTHER LADY OF THE NINETEENTH WARD. The Rights of Children in Cars. To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— The letter of the car conductor in his own de- fence in your issue of this date raises a subject upon which I and probably many more of your readers would like some information. Have rail- road companies right to demand full fare for children under twelve years of age occupying seats or else eject them from their seats in Case Oo! re- fusal to pay fuil fare? Isee this done daily. It scesms to me unjust, I know that might makes gnd that the public have no rights taat com- panics gre bound to respect. Stili, if they have not the legs] power let us one and all resist it. I ever heara this question answered, as esa : PATERFAMILIAS, A Word for the br To Tae Epitor oF THE HERAT Knowing that your columns are a!ways open for the benetit of the people and that you are ever ready to interest yourself for the well being of the city, [feel no hesitation in thus laying before you and your readers a complaint which I feel justified Tam in the habit of traveliing to and from my place of business on the Broadway cars, morning and evening. It is for the interest of the company owning these cars aud for the citizens who ride in them that the best possible time should be made. - I believe that all that can be done to accomplish this is adopted by the company; but the drivers have a great deai to contend against, and have to ut up with the most abowinabe insults and hin- Frances from those drivers of teams and express carts who were ti vers. yurposely delay tuem, {3 the case only now and then I would | make no complaint, though I might be justified in so doing; but it is repeatedly done. This evening such a flagrant insult was oifered by one of West. Coll’s express Wagons, between Thirty-third and ‘Thirty-fourth streets, to the car I was on that I de- termined it should not pass unnoticed, There were two menon the wagou who seemed bent | upon keeping in the Way or the car and insuiung the driver, and, thougn the whistle was blown @ number of times and calls were made, they only Jooked round, laughed and persevered in their abominable insults. This was witnessed by several both on and olf the car. and even by that helpless, indifferent set of gianis who are in their apathy and jaziness an imposition on the public under the name of police. Could I have obtained the names of Westcott’s men I should have been glad to have expo: them ia your columus for the public contempt they so weil merit. I write not only on benall of the much-abused car drivers and conductors, but on behaif of those people who have to adopt a comparatively siow method of journeying up and and down town until they are blessed with the much-needed “rapid transit.” Suci men as the arivers of the Westcott wagon, to which I have made reference, shouid be voted @ public nuisance, andi trust you will bring abont, through your voice and influence, some method which shall put a stop te such pests as these men and others who would thus insult their fellow-citizens. It is not the complaint of one only, but of many, and all know you are ever ready to institute remedies Jor evils and ange above everything that which is pro bono publico, FRANK A, BROWN, MADISON AVENUE, July 15, 1873, Another Car Outrage. To Tae EpIToR oF THE HEKALD:— Your attention is called to the following:—Car No, 13 of the Third Avenue line started for up town from opposite the Sun ofice yesterday (Monday) alternoon, about four o'clock, It had proceeded a short distance when a blear-eyed, loathsome sot, with a cigar in his mouth, was helped toa seat by @ companion and the conductor of the car. Shortiy afterwards a respectable old woman got in, when the offensive individual referred to arose, threw his arms around her neck, kissed her and forced her into the seat he had occupied. On being remonstrated with by one of the pas- sengers he became abusive and continued addressing the various passengers, both male ant female, tn hemous lal and to si otherwise toact in & dso! erly manner, ‘until, ez ) town, one of the Passengers, feling the degradation of longer submitting, took him by th arm and led him out of the car. It fs perhaps needless to say to those in the habit of riding in the Third Avenue cars tat the conductor was ire- quently appealed to, but that these annoyances seemed to him rather in the light of a joke than an outrage upon those who were entitied to his pro- tection. VERITAS, JULY 15, 1573, THE COURTS. Areport was published yesterday to the effect that Platt & Boyd had been sued by the govern- ment to recover $300,000 for alieged irregularities in the importation of glassware. Mr. Bliss, the United States District Attorney, says that this report {8 not true, but adds that an investigation in reterence to the matter might, without his knowledge, have been commenced at the Custom House. He 1g not aware of any such investiga- tion. Judge Blatchford, of the United States District Court, left town last evening for Newport, k. L, having Mnished all the business that was submitted to him during the sessions of Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday last. In the United States District Court Jadge Blatch- ford has decided that under a new act of Congress informers in internal revenae cases have no legal claim to fixed moteties from the proceeds of the sale of seized goods. SUPREME COURT—CHAMBERS. Another Application for Bail in the Jacob Young Homicide. Before Judge Daniels. Application was made yesterday to admit to bail Michael Buckley, one of the parties indicted for the murder of Jacob Young, on last St. Patrick’s Day, in Harlem. Colonel J. B, Fellows, who made the application, urged that the accused had nothing to do with the murder, and that he could not be con- victed. Judge Daniels said that the counsel had failed to make as strong a case in favor of the ac- cused as counsel for McDonnald, and he must deny the application. The evidence befure the Coroner was not very conclusive against him, but that taken before the Grand Jury was more pointed and decisive, and, again, it was the opinion of the Dis- trict Attorney that the evidence was ample to cure @ conviction.

Are the Daily Reports of the Secretary of the Treasury Strictly Correct ¥ New Yorg, July 18, 1873, To THE EDITOR OF THE HFRALD:— For over twenty years I have been @ constant reader of the HERALD, regarding it always 98 a reliable source of information on all subjects 0 pubile interest, among which none has attracted more serious and general attention than those which have recently appeared in its editorial and fiuancial columns relating to the gold reserve in the United States Treasury a8 compared with its outstanding obligations, This question comes nearer home to the business Interests and welfare of the American people than any other which can now occupy their attention; for upon it depends the future purchasing power of the entire currency of the country, on which nearly all coutracts are based. With these impressions firmly fixed on my mind, imagine my surprise on reading in one of the morn- jug Journais of this date a severe, and, to my mind, impertinent criticism on the efforts now being made to obtain information on this all important subject. ‘The author of the article above alluded to, after snecring at all who differ with him in his (appa- Tent) beilet in the statements of the Secretury of the Treasury, goes on to insult the intelligence of the American people by flaunting the Oigures daily put forth that there are $80,000, of gold coin in the ‘Treasury, against which the only claims are the outstanding certificates, amounting to $45,000,000, endeavoring thereby to convey the tnpression that the government is the actual owner of $37,000,000 of coin. Now, Mr. kdzor, L desire to call attention to the statement of the Secretary ,as published on the 1st day of May, togecter with his known receipts and expen- ditures trom that time until the present, and then to invite your sftention to the peculiar phase of oMicial character that can put lorward sucha Statement be.ore ow toe confiding American people.

Probe it to the bot. tom, :or I] can assure you that there are many of your readers who believe that the condition of the ‘Treaeury is not as good even as the figures herem given would seem to indicate, On the contrary, the foregoing Ggures demonstrate that much ot what is called “gold” in the vaults of the Treasury is not there, but 18 an amount represented by checks and memorandums of prominent members of the Syndicate, At all events, let us know with what the government proposes to redeem the seven hundred millions of paper which tt has forced the people to accept as money, and when it proposes to commence redeeming its promises and thereby giving thema fixed and permanent value, AN AMERICAN, and not a member Of any ring.

STOPPING THE STENCH, The Uptown Offal Sheds Ordered To Be Pulled Down and Destroyed by Combustion, WAR ON VENDERS. The Booths in tho Vicinity of Washington Market To Be Swept Away. At & meeting of the Board of Health held yester- day afternoon reports were received to the effect that in Fifth street, between Second and Third avenues, the street pavement was in places sunken, and at these points the water collects to such ap extent as to be offensive to the persona living in the vicimity. In front of 429 Fifth street there was a hole in the pavement, in which the Water stagnates and becomes very offensive. Tho culvert at the southwest cerner of Ninth street and Third avenue, and also the culvert at the south- east corner of East Houston and Suffolk streets were stopped, so that water from the gutters could not escape into the sewer. A report was received upon the condition of West Sixty-eighth street, near Twelfth avenue, which i# now being filled up according to contract. This filling in of the street, the inspector said in his report, has so far advanced as to be within forty 1ect of the culvert, “If the work is permitted to go on,” he adds, “the result will be the formation of one of the most filthy pools in the city, caused by the blocking up of the culvert and the consequent retention of water contami- nated by closet filth and other impurities. Already two filthy pools exist there—one on the north side and one on the south side of West Sixty-eighth street, east of Twelfth avenue—and have probably received little attention, because of their close proximity to the river and tneir free connection with it through the culvert about to be blocked. ‘The pool on the south side of West Sixty-eighth street,” the report goes on to say, “las two filthy sources—one consists of an old drain that seems to take ita rise in the block bounded by Ninth avenue and the Boulevard, Sixty-frst and Sixty-second streets, then pursuing a northwest. erly course runs in a diagonal direction through several blocks, receiving on its way the waste water of several houses and the liquid filth of many closets before reacting the pool. Both pools are about thirty-cight feet below the surface of Sixty. eighth street, as now being filled, and about twenty feet below the level of the railroad. The pool on the south side of Sixty-eighth street is nearly two- thirds of a block in extent, and has @ black, inky color, and is very offensive.” Dr. A. B. Judson re- ported Exchange alley in a filthy condi. tion; the street pavement in Roosevelt street, between Water and Cherry, where a quantity of stagnant water has collected, and the northwest corner of One Hundred and Twenty-ninth street and Third avenue. Complaints were received that the pavement on the northeast corner of Second avenue and Twenty first street, East Twenty-fourth street in front of No. 241, and a portion of First street in front of Nos. 15 und 17 were in a condition dangerous to health. The following communica- tion was received and placed on file C.F.
