6 BROOKLYN'S PLAGUE SPOT. Malaria and Deathin the Air of Prospect Park. Meport of the Committee on Hygiene. When tre fact becomes known that t&e life of every Man, woman and child im the city of Brooklyy is en- s@angered by the Prospect Park lake it is to be hoped ‘bat apeedy action will be taken to remove the danger. ‘Whe fact is that Prospect Park is a plague spot, and, from the undrained and stagnant waters of its lake, ymalarious fever, diphtheria, ;ueumonia and bronchitis jmre engendered. A HsRaLb reporter was sent yesterday out to the (Park, with lustractions to careiully inquire into the ygrave charges already made to Mayor Hunter by citi- wens, and found them more than confirmed. The im- (provements im the Park, from the opening of the first | lvoad to the digging of the serpentine ditch, called @cean Lake, bwve been a series of scandalous blunders. ‘The first noticeable object after entering the Park, ‘pear the lake, is the giant well. On entering the well ihouse the writer found a Mammoth Worthington pump jin operation. ‘This pump was placed there in 1870, jafter the great well was finished, Ov descending the jeircular stairway around the sides of the subterranean | watructure the pool of crystal water was examined and found to be of excellent quality, yet 1t was ascertained | Bhat the amount of water is gradually but surely de- lereasing. ‘The structure is illy consiructed. One side jof it w out of plumb nearly twelve inches from the Pvttom bo the top, and any violent concussion, such as pi explosion in the neighborhood, would end iu the | vin of the whole work. Tho well is claimed to be eighty feet in depth and fifty feet in diameter, but i is also claimed that by actual measurement it i ouly seventy feet deep. Query—Did the city pay Yor an eighty toot well? It is understood that the en- gine can pamp into the reservoir 40,000 gallons of jwaier per hour, Dealing with this matter further the | yarriter discovered that this immense well is causing a | WATER PAMINE IN ¥LATBUSH, jnd the inbabitants have to endure this, as well as to De stricken with fever from the Park swamp, miscalled milake. On the lake itself the Haun reporter found ‘hat it positively nas nota single outlet, the water is Btagnaut and full of decaying vegetable matter, and Wworse than ail, the lake is a cesspool and receptacle Wor all the drainage of the cottages and closets in the Park. Meeting an intelligent citizen op the spot the Reporter asked the meaning of this terrible coudition Of affairs, and received the following reply -— | “The Henatp shall know the truth as far as I kuow & J. & T Stranahan, the present chief of the Park Commiseion, is responsible for much of this evil, and Mayor Hunter knows all about it, for citizens have | warned him, Robert Erskine wrote him a letter about | ne year ago giving all the facts, The Mayor sent for Bim, and said be thought it desirable to let the matter | fest, It would only excite the people and do no good.

This can easily be done by forcing jater into this ditch from the ocean, and the outlet can found in the same way. This is the only thing to ve the people of Brooklyn. The city has twelve miles water front, and hardly any facilities for puble bath- 4. This place could then be a sanitarium—a swim ing schooi—for women and children ; but | would sug- it also, that as a new sewer is to be built in Flatbush , and cleanse the sewer at the same time.” It was also ascertained that the President of the ledical Society of the State of New York recommended February last that a standing committee on hy- jene, Consisting of seven members, should piace them. ives m correspondence with the county socteties. ¢ following were the medical gentlemen selected:— N. Beil, of Brookiyo; 8 0. Vanderpoel, Health r of the port of New York; H. Didama, of racuse; H. W. Dean, of Rochester; John Ordronaux, It Roslyn, 1. 1; Stephen Smith aod. R. Agnew, of lew York. ‘Ap extract from the report of the Kings County Com- itiee on hygiene TELLS AN APPALLING STORY, “For four weeks (giving date) the mortality from uses largely due to detective drainage in. the city of rooklyn was 761, Of this number consumption and rofula killed 121; croup. diphtheria and quingy, 76; eurmonia, pleurisy and bronchitis, 86; remit Wermittent fevers, 12; typhoid fever, 10; e diarrheal diseases, 7; cerebro-spinal meningitis, 1. falf of these, or more than 150, would not have died t for defective drainage.

The death lists are ra- tly swelling. ‘The BxkaLd writer, after visiting the Park and ighborhood, called on Mr. J. J.

YOKK HHKALD, SATURDAY, FLEETWOOD PARK, CONTESTS— LADY THE WINNERS—THE THRER CAPITAL TROTTING WOODS AND BAY JACK TRIRD RACE UNFINISHED. Notwithstanding the heavy rain of the night before the track at Fleetwood Park yesterday afternoon was considered good enough to trot oa, and three races were started, two of which were finished, and four heats of | the other were closely contested, Darkness put au end | ty the sports for the day. ‘The postponed race will be finished this afternoon, The first race was a match between John Murphy's bay gelding Bay Jack, and John Splan’s bay gelding Frank Reese; mile heats, best three in five under the | saddle, the horses ridaen by Murphy and Splan, than whom two better horsemen are hard to find. Five heats were required to decide the race. Bay Jack, howe won the match by accident, Frank Reese having cast asboe while leading several lengths on the deciding heat. The result served those who had the manage- mentof Frank Reese quite right, as had they com- | menoed to win the race at the beginning, instead of throwing the first and second heats, the horse probably would have won tn throe straight heats, as he evidently had a great deal more speed than Bay Jack. As it was, Frank Reese lamed himself in the race, and casting shoe in the fifth heat the aceident gave the race to his antagonist, The betting on Frank Reese was 3 to 1 before the start, and more alter the first heat, as the throwing of this heat was too apparent not to be seen by every one present. Even after the second heat, which Bay Jack also won, and at the close of which Frank Reese pulled up Jame, the latter was still the. favorite for some time. Frank won the third heat in gallant’ style, but pulled up so lame that few thought it possible that he could trot another heat, and his owner was advised by several well-informed horsemen to withdraw the horse, as he was endangering his future usefulness by continuing the race. Frank Reese, nowtthstanding his injuries, was started for the fourth heat, and this be won quite easily; but again he pulled up very lame. ‘The betting then set in in favor of Bay Jack, a8 it was | thought impossible for Frank Reese, notwitsstanding | tne unflinching gameness that he had exhibited, to go throngh another heat. Bay Jack was the favorite at Frank Reese took the lead with the word on the fifth beat, and dashed away from Bay Jack at a~rapid rate, and at the quarter ole was six lengths in front; and going on along the jower turn he was still half a dozen lengths the best of 1; at the hulf-mile pole. soon afterward, how ever, be’ grabbed himself, cast a shoo, and broke up badiy, and that was the last of him. Stopped him, and jogged leisarely home, nearly a quarter of a mile behmd John Murphy and ‘Bay Jack, The race was a very exciting one throughout, and as the owner of Frank Reese 1s not satisfied with the re sult another match will, no doubt, be made between the horses. z ‘The second race was a match between Charles Dick- erman’s brown mare Lady Woods and G.

The concluding games in the championship racket match between Oscar 8, Manving, of Philadelphia, and the veteran professor of the game in this country, | | Wiltiam Devoe, of New York, wore played yesterday | in the Brooklyn hand-ball and racket court, corner of Hoyt and Douglasa streets, The interest in the match’ baa called together in the court a largo | murmber of genuemen prominent in their interest in manly sports, among them the venerabie father of Mr, Manning, who greatly enjoyed the scene. Opening at three P, M., with James Keating as umpire and marker, | the appearance of the men was greeted with rounds of hearty applause, for both appeared in admirable phys | cal condition. ‘The tose for the first hand was won by Mr. Manning, who made 8 points before he lost his lead. Mr. Devoe in following made some remarkably fine play, equalling, in fact, that of bis younger days, and by which he scored 6 points before he lost his lead, There followed aserics of fine play on both sides, the game closing with Devoe counting 15 to 13 for Manning. The second game was won by Mannivg in ascore of 15 w 10, bis youth, quicker sight and inore enduring activity giving bim an advantage over the acknowledged superior knowledge of the game possessed by his vete- | ran opponent | ‘The third and last game of the series was a brilliant contest. In its progress the marker called out suc- ceasively ‘All aboard”? at Sand again ‘All aboard’ at 10, indicating thereby that the contestants were even at those points. The interest, when the Inst call was made, has not been exceeded gince the games were commenced, the friends of each of the contestants feeling that they had | an équal promise of the success of their favorites, Finally, however, “‘ngility and young blood” told against both age and skill, and Manning won by a dam Messenger descent; sold to A, 8.

J., Nov, 19, 1875, At midnight last night a large party of prize ring sports left Philadelphia for a point in the State of Dela- | ware, thirty miles distant from Philadelphia, for the | purpose of pitching a twenty-four foot ring, wherein two gladiators could exercise themselves in the pleasures of | @ fistic encounter, They embarked in a steam tug, and without any molestation arrived safely at their i} destination at ten minutes past seven o'clock this | morning. Everything was ready for the fight. Into the arena sprang William Walker, aged twenty, weight 140 pounds, and James Wheedon, aged twenty-one, weight 120 pounds, almost simultaneously, Both men | were in Gne condition, pictures of robust health and superior physical training. Walker's seconds were Arthur Chainbers and Dick Goodwin, and those ‘of Wheedon were Professor John H. Clarke and Fred., Smith; referee, Tom Gantley. Stakes were $200 a side. ‘The Contest Jasted one hour and seventeen minat forty-one rounds were fought. Walker had the best of the fight up to the tenth round, when he began to waver. In the forty-first round he was knocked out of time and Wheeden wag declared the victor, amid the cheers of his backefs. Walker was badly’ punished, ‘The fight was a very scientific one and reflected credit on the training of the principals There was no dis- order nor rioting, and when the contest was over all rotnrned quietly to Philadelphia, of which city tho principals and their respective backers are residents. ‘The managers of the exhibition endeavored to keep it secret, especially from the press, THE COAST SURVEYS. WORK FOR THE COMING SEASON—IMPORTANT OPERATIONS ON THE ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC COASTS—SPLENDID RESULTS ANTICIPATED. Great activity is being displayed by the United States Coast Survey officials in hurrying off the various vessels belonging to that service to their fleld of opera- tions for the coming winter, Nearly all are now on their way to the waters of the Southern States, where | labor can be carned on during the inclement season of the year. The United States Coast Survey schooner RESEARCH, Assistant United States Coast has, after thoroughly out for a six months’ cruise, sailed the mouth’ of the Mississippi River, where | surveys connected with the new system of jettios designed and carried out by Captain Eads will be under- | taken. The special work of the Research is physical hydrography, dealing witb currents and tides and their action On shoals and other obstructions. It is of vast interest to ascertain the influence and results on the river channel of Captain Eads’ jetties, now being con- structed, and st will ‘be the duty of Assistant Marindin to carefully trace them out and delineate them on charts, The Research will ve at her station about the middle of December, when the assistant in charge, Mr, Marindin, charge, The Research has been busily engaged here for sey- efal summers in harbor work in the North and East rivers aud the Bay. In determining the proper line for building river piers, so that the currents should not be obstructed in such a manner as to make shoals and injure the harbor, a great deal of valuable service has been rendered our engincers and the city and country at large by the officers of the Reseai It is only by scientific investigation that the laws of currents and tides in our harbor can be exactly determined, and by which our dock improvements on tho water front may be wisely projected and carried on without permanent, or, indeed, any damage to the harbor, which, it may be salely asserted has, in years gone by, been greatly in- jured by crude and unwise “improvementa.” ‘The following is a list of officers: A.

COX GETS ONE VOTE. {From the Ohio Statesman. } ‘The overthrow of the Tilden dictation in Now York settles the question that there must be a Wostern can- didate for President, and, therefore, the Speaker ought to be selected from the East, and should be in the inter- est of no Presidential ring. The Hon. 8. 8. Cox, who for eight years represented so acceptably the capital Gistelet of Obio, is a domocrss who fills this progransme, Elocted by a New York constituency, in which he is the idol of the masses, he never imagined that the cause of the democratic party could be served by the doteat of his old friends to help the ambition of any Presidential aspirant; he stands true to the whole party | and to no section of it. The South and West can trust him on the tariff question; on this subject Randall is of the Pennsylvania schoo! of politicians. On the cur- rency issue he voted against the bill vetoed by Presi- dent Grant, Kerr’s nomination from his location would defeat any candidates for Clerk and Sergeant-at-Arms in Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio or Missouri—States that juve over fifly votes in’ the democratic Congressional caucus. All things considered, Hon. 8. 8. Cox holds a position more acceptable to the West and South than any candidate for Speaker named, and there ts no rea. son that the democracy in all sections should not give him « cordial support COX V8, RANDALL, (From the Nashville Union and American. } In Mr. Cox's sixteen years’ service from Obio and New York he was a constant and vigtlaut foe to the tortions of protection. “Mr, Randall in his twelve yours was always the advocate of greedy Ste interests and cliss monopolies.

Mr. Randall's record appears in bis remarks, which we quote below. Messrs Holman, Hawley and others raised the point of order that the Butier amendment increasing salaries of members to $7,500 was out of order, having been negatived. Mr. Randall «ad “he was ‘sorry.” He said:—In 1865.66, and upon & call of the yous and nays I’ was one of three men on this Hoor who vote ease the Con- gressional salary from $4,000 to $ of the increase now proposed. 000, ‘Oh iam in favor of my reasons is tbat if you will put members of Congress beyond, tomptation, by giving them an adequate salary, ‘you will pass fewer subsidy bills, I believe we carn the $7,500 for which | propose to vote; if i did | not 80 believe I would not vote for it.

M. Gambetta’s Manifesto to the Nation, POSSIBILITIES OF 4 RADICAL PRESIDENCY, Senators to Vote for Their Own Suppression. Panis, Nov. 2, 1875, M. Gambetta’s letter to the electors of Lyons is Still the theme of general discussion, It 1® con- sidered very moderate in tone, though the ex-dictator speaks of the royalists ' as gnashing their teeth in impotent rage at the destraction of their hopes. The most important part of the document is that in which M. Gambetta insists on the Necessity Of taking the education of the people out of the bands of the priests and of the paramount duty of all citizens to bear an UNDIVIDED ALLEGIANCE to their country—another hit at those ultramontanea who Idve to toast the Pope at public banquets beloro the President of the Republic, Indeed, when it is re- membered that M, Gambetta is the only French statesman of Sufficient eminence to be a candidate for the Presidency who is thoroughly and avowedly anti-clerical in his views, it may be doubted whether Germany will not find ber sincerest ally in France if this most vigorous minded of lawyers should ever at- tain to power. The Cabinet of Berlin must be fully aware that M. Gambetta is a hard-headed politician, who accepts accomplished facts, and knows very well that tho idea of a war of revenge against the con- querors of Alsace must be indefinitely postponed, or, | in other words, abaudoned. He is still enthusiastic and ambitious, but he would rather join liberal Ger- many in@ crusade against the Papacy than plange | into a hopeless coutest with the most formidable of | military empires, Moreover, in combating the in- | fluence of the Church, M. Gambetta would be at once adopting the safest o1 foreign policies and strengthen- ing his own position at home; for the Catholic clergy in France would view a radical government with no friendly eye, and a radical President would probably argue that, as it was impossible to conciliace them, it would be best to depress them and destroy their au- thority by every mens at his disposal, But whether M. GAMBETTA willever come to power is an open question. Con- servatives who have resigned themselves to a republi- can constitution are still afraid of him, and even sin- cere republicans would prefer the leadership of ML. ‘Thiers or, failing him, of M, Dufaure or M. Grévy than that of the too eloquent Genoese. Others again, who are liberal enough ju their views and do not much care about the form of government, would have no objec- tion toa pt dig 8 with the Duke of Aumale or Prince | Napoleon atthe head of the executive, but would be the determined opponents of a Republic presided over by a man of “advanced ideas,” The democratic por- tion of the electorate, on the otber hand, is strong enough to carry M. Gambetta to office on its'shoulders, bat it will not keep him there unless he is ready to throw moderation to the winds and inaugurate a state things Us} gooey resembling the dreams of the Commune, In fact the extreme Let has already broken with the chief it once recognized. Thus a meeting af electors has just been held at St. Mandé to discuss the programme to be imposed on can- | didates for the Senate. The earnest appeals of M, Gam- , betta to the caution and the forbearance of the party were atterly disregarded. It was resolved that would-be Senators should be required to accept an IMVERATIVE MANDA’ «4, minute orders as to the votes they were some Jeaving them no discretion whatever; that they shoul vote for the abolition of the Upper Chamber—inither words, for their own suppression; also for the returm of the Assembly to Paris, for COMPLETR VREEDOM OF THE PRESS, , | as well as of meeting, and of association for political purposes, and finally fora municipal law to give the Communes an absolate autonomy. No doubt some of these measures are desirable, but the hour ix singular! inopportune for frightening’ timid conservatives wi the spectre of a general Saturnalia when many of them want buta little encouragement and a little reassur- ance in respect of their dread of riot and disorder, to- give a frank adhesion to the Republic. It should be added that M. Buifet and M. Dufaure (Ministers of Justice) are at the present moment engaged on the de- tails of a new press till to be submitted to the Assem- bly. The rigors of the existing law will, presumably, be modified, though it is not so much “the law” ©: which French journalists complain as the, extra legal powers intrusted to martinet generals in virtue of THE STATE OF SIEGR And tt 's a reasonable boast of the French Bar that in the worst days ot monarchy or empire the courts of justice have been the best safeguard of such liberties as. Parliament had left, and have more than once cour- ageously upheld the rights of the individual as against the government. A recent decision of the tribunals bas given not a little satisfaction in thie respect, | PROPERTY AND THE POLICE, | Last spring a certain M, Larbaud, a chemist, residing at Viehy, discovered a source of mineral water on his Premises, at a short distance from that termed” which is the Property of the State. Early in Ju Pretect of the Allier gave this gentleman notice that the engineers of mines were about to institute an examina- tion with the otject of ascertaining if the spring which M. Larbaud found was prejudicial t the source “Lacaa,” The proprietor resisted the act, which he characterized ag an unwarrantable interference with | private right and closed his premises against the emissaries of the Prefect; at the same time attaching to the door—as he alleged, in order to save himself the trouble of repeated explanations to his clients—the fol- lowing ee rake closed on account of legal resistance to an abuse of power on the part of the Protect of the Allier.’” The exalted functionary in question looked upon this placard as a defamatory libel, and commenced jadicial proceedings. A series of trials, appeals and cross-ap- peais followed, and it transpired in evidence that one , decision of the Prefect to si md the works for de- veloping the new source, as well as a second to prohibit the sale of its waters, had been annalied by the Coune cil of State for excess of authority. Ultimately the Court of Cassation—the hignest tribunal m France- decided that the writing complained of was no hbel, though it might constitute an insult; and as an ingult | to a public officer in the discharge of his duty is un- | doubtedly an offence at law the Prefect might prosecute ‘M. Larbaud on thatground. Of coarse the issue then raised would be whether, in ordering the inspection of | the private spring, the Prefect was discharging or ex- ceeding his duty, AN IRON-CLAD Lost, * On Sunday (the 31st) the French Navy lost one of its finest iron-clads, through the destruction of the Ma- geuta by fire, AS soon us the flames reached the pow- der magazine, which the crew bad in vain attempted to flood, she blew up. No lives were lost. ‘The building of the Magenta and its twin ship, the Solferino, was once ® cause of much heartburning on the British side of the Channel, where the naval power of France was ay eid watched@all through the reign of Napoleon Il, Since the war France has steadily declined in the scale of maritime States and Germany has steadily advanced, so that in the eventof another conflict it may be doubted whether German men-of-war will be content to take refuge from the enemy under the guns of forts or in harbors protected by networks of wrpedves. | + THR NATIONAL ASSEMRLY, | According to the latest news there is a likelihood of the National Assembly being enabied to terminate its Jabors in the space of four or five weeks from the open- ing of the session.
