THE STREET CAR NUISANCE. BROADWAY AND AVENUE D LINE. ‘The branch of the Dry Dock line of street cars run- ning from the Hexaup office, through Chatham street, East Broadway, avenue D, &., to the Twenty-third street ferry, is one of the most crowded street car lines in the metropolis during the morning and evening. The‘company is a very wealthy one, with main trunks and brancties extending over the most populous dis- tricts of the east side, with a sufficiency of horses and | cars to run on one minute headway during the morn- ing and evening rush instead of on two minutes; yet it is notorious that they are a grasping, parsimonious as- sociation of capitalists, who care no more for city or- dinances regulating the running of carson the public | streets and the comfort of the passengers who patronize thetr lines than if there were no ordinances in existence and the dear public were so many heads of cabbage to be piled one uponanother upon their cars. While the jam in fine weather is fully as bad as on some of the lines run- ning north and south during snow storms it is infinitely worse, and the company on such occasions rarely make the first effort to facilitate the prompt transportation of their human freight, While the heayy travel is morn- ing and evening they have a large regular travel during all hoursof the day, and if any company can afford to cater tothe public demands for more seats tho Dry | Dock Company can. THE BULK OF THR MORNING TRAVEL is below Fourteenth street and Chatham square be- tween the hours of six and eight o’clock, and within the same district between half-past five o'clock and | half-past seven o'clock P.

CARS. To rar Eviror or Tum HERALD:— History tells us that in the olden time much imgenu- ity was exercised in the invention of instruments of torture. There were thumbscrews and racks and other diabolical machines, but it was reserved for the present generation to produce that peculiar irritating torture— the street car. Perhaps the public would not grieve had the inventor, like one of the olden time, been crushed to death in the instrument of his own inven- tion, and it is a wonder that he did not invent an india rubber car, that would stretch, so as to avoid such a contingency. Rapid transit is wanted, undoubtedly, but 60 is comfortable transit, which the monopolists— the car companies—will not supply. “Fourth Avenue Conductor” says the publtc “nad better take what they can get and say nothing,” the advice given to the darkey who went on a chicken stealing expedition, but which rominds the public of the man who was skinning eels | and swearing at them because they would not lie still, “Daily Victim” suggests cheap cabs and free transit. A few years ago some gentlemen contemplated start- ing a stage line to Yorkville, but they found them- selves opposed by an act of the Legislature (Laws of 1857), wittch in substance forbids any stage line being authorized without, first, the consent of the property owners along the line, and, secondly, tho sale of the franchise by public auction, so the idea was aban. | doned, ‘This aw gives the car companies a monopoly, Who would take the trouble to got the consent of the property owners, with a chance of being outbid for the | franchise ¥ Now, why should the ear companies, who on their own showiug cannot accommodate the public, prevent others doing so? In London or Paris, I have heard it said, the right of transit is open to the ‘general public, and wny person can run a public vehicle upon paying a | license, which states the number they shail carry. why should it pot be so _ here? Why should not any one be authorized to run a stage or stages at a rate of fare mot exceeding ten ceuts (competition would regulate the rate below that)? Stages have many advantages over the street car. ‘The vited to “jump on’? (the steoet cars never stop for p sengers) at the risk of breaking his neck and alighting among tobacco smokers, market bagkets and paint pots, Tho traveller who obtains a seat—a probability ina stage—ia not seated between two extremes; that is, | there is no front door to give him a “cooling draught now and then, and the windows are not so ingeniously arranged as to send a draught contingously on the back of his neck, and so give him a touch of rheumatism, ‘There are no straps which he can have tho privilege of peng a to ifone should be vacant, and there isno tront plattorm where he can have his pocket picked or | be pitched info the street through some impatient fe low passenger pulling the bell in undue season. Possibly other vehicles running side by side with the street care cond accommodate passengers with a seat, and they would take the way travel which ihe car com: panies now throw away, for few people care about rid- ing a dozen blocks in a crowded horse car, and between Ubree and seven P. M. very many walk the short dis- tances rather than hang on to a stray Stages would most likely be less objectionable to Rover, owners, and would be a convenience across Thirty-fourth and Forty-second streets, or Chambers street trom the Erie Railroad to James street ferry. | ‘As the car compamies were authorized to charge five cents fare with a seat, why not compel them to take three cents without, and have two clusses of cars, one for seated passengers only at six cents, apd the other for all at three cents? | am aware that two of your cor- respondents are rather facetious on this point, one | charitably suggesting a subscription to buya drawing room car for another correspondent, and a third yd erousiy sending twenty-five cents as an earnest of the same thing. But these gentlemen will probably recol- lect we have a “gentlemen's cabin’ and a dies’ cabin" on our ferry boats, and why we should not have | the same thing on our cars it is hard to tell. They must have felt the annoyance, if they have had to take the cars when accompanied with ladies, of find- | ing them filled with passengers carrying packages of all kinds, from rkey to a bundle of coats or paper boxes. At th ime time poor people have equal rights, which should be respected, but not with the | | | idea that they only should have rights, and that people | mast either occupy their car or none, “The world was mado for Cesar, but for Titus, too." Why not have Orst class cars, in which everybody could ride and hang on to the straps to their hearts’ | content, carry bundles, with the contingency of a | feat or vacant strap, if it could be found—tare, threo conts—and a second Class car for seated passengers | only—fare, ix cents? Limit the number to be carried in the latter; impose a fine of $50 for each extra mger carried, and allow any one to ite for the penalty and receive half the fine. Then open the rigbt of transit to the general public to run vehicles alongside of the ers. It may be ania nothing but second class cars \ wuld be ron, and few of them Possioly the pagel} pare supply the ag and poades, ‘there is such a thing as forfoiting a charter for non user, and placing an insufficient number of cars on, as the Second avenue line docs above the might be held to be substantially a non-user work rm feiture. The companies should ne longer etand be position of the elephant dancing among the chickens and telling “every one to look out for — ATTEMPTED BURGLARY. | BOLD ROBBERS CUT THROUGH A CELLAR WALL, BUT FALL TO GET THEIR BOOTY AWAY. A bold attempt at burglary, which, however, proved unsuccessful, inasmuch as the property was subse- quently recovered, was made yesterday upon the dry goods store of George Keys & Co. Nos 349 and 351 Eighth avenue. It appears that at eight o'clock yesterday morning the two watchmen employed in guarding the store left t&e premises to attond the morning services of Moody and Sankey at | the Hippodrome, leaving two watch dogs in the store, The men returned shortly after mine o’clock, and a few minutes later went to Dbreak- fast, taking the dogs with them. An _ hour afterward they came back to the store and noticed on opening the door thdt the burglar alarm which had been set failed to make a sound. Their suspicions be. ing then aroused they made an examination, and found in the rear part of the stere a num- ber of boxes which had contained valuable silks broken open and their contents missing. Ono of the men promptly notified Mr, Keys, who at once sent word to the police authorities, Captain Washburn, with Detectives Kehoe and Murphy, went to the place and made an investigation, A mystery seomed to shroud the burglary, One fact was indisputable—the gooas were missing, but no sgn or mark tending to show the manner in which the burgiars effected an entrance was visible. Last night Officer Pliss, of the Twentieth precinct, was detailed to the store to make a turther in- vestigation. Descending to the cellar, he noticed a number of boxes piled up against the wall of tho, adjoining store. Wishing them removed tor the purpose of an examination, he consulted with the watchman, but he ridiculed the idea of such a course throwing light on the robbery, ‘The officer persisting, the boxes were removed and a hole three feet square cut tn the wall was found. Entering the adjoining cellar, the | officer saw a number of black bags, and ’ these, on being opened, proved to contain the missing prop- erty to the value of about $7,000, Lying near the bags were found a full set of burglars’ tools, consisting of jimmies, braces, bits, chisels and hammers. 10 cellar in question was unoccupied, and the berglars had no difficulty m effecting an en- trance to it. ‘The removal of the hatchway Jeading to Mr. Keys’ store was a matter of no difli- culty, and the absence of the watchman afforded them good opportunity to carry their booty to the cellar and thence to the place of firstentrance. The fail- ure of the burglar alarm to work is ac- counted’ for on the theory that the robbers tampered with the door, intending, no doubt, to take the goods out by the front door and cart them away. Becoming trighiened, it is thought they adopted the plan of concealing the goods in the vacant cellar, intending at a more opportune time to carry them off. A STRANG A child under ten years of age was missed in Grand street at nine o’clock on Saturday evening, and as no trace of it has since been found, the affair has created quite astir in certain circles in Williamsburg. The child, named Jessie Augusta Shields, is the stepdaughter of Mr. John Baxter, of No. 317 South Fourth street, and will bo ten years of age on the 18th of next May} She is quite a pretty and interesting ehild and on Saturday evening accompanied her mother shop- ping. They called together in a tea storo on Grand MOTHER, | street, near Sixth, and atacandy store a short dis- tance below. Here Mrs. Baxter gave the chila some candies and told her to wait for her till she had eaten an oyster stew in the saloon on Grand street, near Fourth, The child remained munching her candy on the opposite side of the street, but when her mother came out of the oyster saloon o trace of the child could be found. The police were notified and a strict search was made for her, which resulted in the arrest of Richard Painter, of No, 243 Frost street, during yesterday afternoon. ¥ainter is a carpenter, | who works a few doors from the residence of the child, | and he had given her several little presents and spoke of a desire to adopt her. He accounted for his time, however, on Saturday evening; and, as he had not been in the neighborhood trom which the child was missed, he was released, and | no other clew to the child has been discovered. AN ARMY OF GAMBLERS. - The twenty-five persons arrested on Saturday evening by Sergeant Allen, of the Fifteenth precinct, in the gambling house formerly kept by Mike Murray, at No. 135 Kast Eighth street, were arraigned before Juégo Morgan yesterday morning at the Washington Place Police Court, Sergeant Allen’s complaint charged Edward May, of No. 600 Sixth avenue, with being the “jooker out;”” Henry Williams, No, 273 Eighth avenue, the “dealer,” and John Johnson, of No. 28744 Bowery, the “game keeper” of the faro game. We also chargod John Butler, of No, 595 Ninth avenue, with being the | “game keeper,” and George Clark, of No, 128 Kast ‘Twenty-third street, the “looker out” of the game of rouletie. The above named persons were held in $1,000 each to answer, while the players and other persons found in the house were discharged, All the prisoners were very well dressed and evidently were in good circumstances. IMPROVING HIS APPETITE. James Baker, a harmiess, inoffensive laborer, residing on the corner of North Third and Third streets, Will- jamsburg, is troubled with a Xantippe of a wife, who secks every occasion to quarrel with her liege lord and make his life as miserable as possible. Last night she concluded the Sabbath Day by finding faalt with the small amount of supper he ate, and, becoming the more indignant at the quiet manner in which he received her abuse, she caught his dinner kettle, already filled for his morrow’s noontide meal, and striking him over the | head inflicted an ugly though not serious scalp wound, She was arrested by Officer Mills, and will answer for the offence before Justice Elliott to-day. MANGLED ON THE RAIL A shocking accident occurred on the Erie Railway, j in Jersey City, at noon yesterday, A boy named Louis Nagle, aged sixteen years, and a resident of Hopkins enue, jumped on a train at tho east endof the tunnel and attempted to get off at the Provost street crossing. His foot got fastened in the frog and he was swept under the wheels and so completely mangled that only the feet remained intact. The mutilated re- mains were taken to the Grove street Morgue. A STABBING ATIFRAY. Last night two young men, named Cornelius Barrett and James Lake, had an argument in Broome street about some personal matter, which ended in an alterca- tion, After a short strogele Barrett drew a knife and stabbed Lake in the right shoulder and left breast, In- flicting a slight wound. Dr. Powell attended the wounded man, who left for home atter his hurts had been dressed, Barrett was arrested and bronght to the station, ACCIDENTALLY SHOT, Last night George Rath, a boy eighteon years of age, was accidentally shot through the knee with a pistol by Patrick Pickings, of No. 345 East Twenty-eightn street, in Twenty-eighth street, between First and Second avenues. His wound was declared severe by Se attendant, and at his request was sent to is home, ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. Frank Mackchain, aged forty years, of No, 249 Spring street, was arrested last night for intoxication, and while confined tn the cells of the Prince street station house attempted suicide by hanging himself with a handkerchief to his cell door. He wag cut down, resus- eitated and sent to Bellevue Hospital, THE LAST VICTIM OF THE BROAD- WAY FIRE. Quite a large number of the friends and members of the Fire Department assembled at the residence of the Jate John H. Bush, No, 25 Christopher street, yester- day afternoon to pay the last tribute of respect to the deceased, among them the members of Engine Com- any No, 30, of which he was assistant foreman. The ev Dr. Foster officiated. The remains will be taken to-day to Paramus, N. J., for interment, FIRE IN JERSEY CITY, e The two story frame building at No, 148 Morgan street, Jersey City, owned by James Wallace, waa de- stroyed by fre at half-past nine o'clock last night, The fire was caused by the upsetting of a kerosene oil lamp, The neighboring buildings, which are all frame struc- Paieee narrowly escaped. The total loss amounts to MORTALITY IN NEW JERSEY. According to tho annual report of the Board of Health of Hudson county, New Jersey, the increase in the number of deaths during the second half year of 1875 over the corresponding half year of 1874 was as follows:—Diphtheria, 50 per cent; smallpox, 36 cent; brouchitis and Jun, hg Moe 6 per cent; on. sumption, 32 per cent, average monthly rate of mortality was 333, or 23 per 1,000 of the population. The average in Paris was 21, London 21, and he aed rate in Jersey was in 40. While the average Hoboken st was 28 aud ip other yarte of thy ovunby 2). | poen, and now and then they would be se: A GHOSTLY ORGY. A WILD SCENE AT THE COOPER UNION LasT NIGHT—THE PRESS GANG AND THE SPIRITS AT ‘was, Last ‘ovening one of the most cleverly arranged Swindles ever perpetrated in New York under the name of a spiritualistic s¢ance took place in the great hall of the Cooper Institute, and was attended by about two thousand persons, one-third of whom were ladies, It had been announced that Mrs. Harriet Wilson, “the world renowned medium,” as she was styled in the ne | bills, would bring spirits on the stage in full view of the audience, and that they would appear in their full earthly bodies under the gaslight and speak as they were wout life with natural voices. At an early hour the ha!l was pretty well filled, and the usual charlatan’s box or cabinet, large enough for an adult to stand up in, had been placed on the stage. Mrs, Harriet Wilson remained in the ante room, with two or three ladies of her acquaintace, one of whom was Mrs. Lefevre, of Washington, until half- past eight o’clock, the audience, who had paid fifty conts for general admission and $1 a head for reserved seats, giving vent to their dissatisfaction by stamping, yelling and cheering. It was aunounced by Tom Lee, an actor, who assumed tne direction of affairs, that the delay was caused by the fact ay the lady friends of Mrs. Wilson were engaged in undressing and afterward dressing the medium with their own hands in order that she might not be able to conceal any appliances for trickery or frand on her person, Mrs, Wilson at last appeared, dressed in dark clothing, and looked to be about thirty-five years ofage. Her oyes wore a strange and wild look, and she made at the outset a decided impression on the audience, Then ensued for nearly two hours’ and a half a scene of the most outrageous fun and uproar, the audience manifesting their incredulity and suspi- cion by yells, shouts and disorder continually. It had been announced that a committee would be appointed from the representatives of the press who were present, and Messrs. Newbould, Fox, Connolly, Davenport and Maitland, together with a gentleman who represented the Lockport Herald, were by ea to act and invostigate, a Mr. Fairchild, of Harlem, afterward volunteering ‘at the call of the audience. ‘Mrs, Lefevre and another lady then announced that they had made a thorongh exam- ination of Mrs, Wilson and that she was “all right.” Mrs. Wilson stepped forward and said to the audience, with a wild look, ‘I desire silence, order and disci- pline.”? At this moment the fitty-cent ticket holders in the back part of tne hall rose en masse with a great surge and took possession of all the vacant reserved seats, causing a good deal of alarm to tho ladies in the front seats, who imagined that a general fight was in progress. Mrs, Wilson then placed two large pieces of sticking plaster, one ovor the other, across her mouth, completely sealing ner lips so that she could not speak, and could only breathe through her nostrils Then the medium had her hands well tied behind her back by Mr, Mait- jand andthe man from the Lockport Herald, after which she took her seat im the cabinet and the doors were fastened upon her, while a part of the committee took their seats by the box to watch proceedings. Fi singers then arrayed themselves around a parlor organ and some music was vouchsafed to ihe spectators, It ‘was announced by Tom Lee, the manager, that the late Jim Fisk would apy in bodily shape and talk with the audience, whi announcement was hailed with dismal yells by the people. Mr. Lee, who has a very humorous face, also stated later that Charley Thorne would volunteer on the committee and he came on the stage. UNCLE BEN, All this time there was silence in the box, and Mr, Lee stated that communication would be received from the spirit world in the shape of answers by the spirit of Uncle Ben, a deceased sailor, but that no questions of a personal nature would be answered by him. Soon after a sepulchral voice, of aloud and piercing tone, was heard talking tn the box, and Uncle Ben rattied off alot of ungrammatical and senseless gibberish. Then a head was seen at the diamond shaped aperture, with | visible and positive black whiskers and mus- tache, In the upper part of the features a pair of large, saucer-like eyes, with a vacant e, wore to rove ‘madly over the audience. Some individual wanted to know where William M. Tweed was and Mr, Loe stated that this question would not be ans®ered. Then an- other person wanted to know how Uncle Ben would close haul a ship in a gale of wind on a lee shore, and a | third desired to have Uncle Ben box the compass, to which the spirit answered that it was so long since be did these tnings he had forgotten all about it. OR. FISK WANTED. This ghostly answer was received with derisive screams by the audience, und the Spiritualists in the front seats sought to create a diversion im favor of the medium; but they were hooted down instantly, and there were loud cries of ‘Let Jim Fisk sh “Where is Fisk? Pony ged how it box was openc ra, a ittsle W ioosed, and to be shamming a trance state. ‘The stickin plaster was fast on her bg and Mr. Maitian stated loudly to the spectators, a a North of Ireland accent, that he believed that ther was a trick, but he | couldn't see how it was done. Then Mr. Fairchild got onthe stageand Mr. Maitland was ordered to ceme down by the audience with cries of “Tell us who you are!’? and shouts of “Let Fox go on!” arose from the excited people. Mr. Fairchild said that he (Pair- child) had broken up a séance before, and there was a cheer at this remark and @ general exclamation of “give them a little Harlem oil, old boy!” Mr. Lee stated that he thought that Mr. Fairchild should go down, as he did not belong to the committee, and this made more uproar 'r. Fairchild descended and Mr. Fox was demandud by the audience. He then took possession of the stage and drove all the Spiritual- ists off amid great cheering and cries of “Bully for you!” and “How are the pools selling on Uncle Ben now, Mr. Lee?” At this moment Mr. Fox was stanging near the cabinet, and the medium kicked up such a sudden and terrific noise within that Rev, Fox jumped about fifteen feet away from the Satanic influence, and the spectators, scream- ing with laughter, shouted “Dor't weaken, Fox; stand by.” ‘The voiee of Uncle Ben was heard again, and the face became visible to the people; it moved its mustache and features, opened’ its mouth aud rolled its eyes again. A voice was heard demanding that the cabinet be opened, which was done, and the hands were still found tied. Now another scene of uproar began, and ‘there were calls for the Harlem man to on the stage again. Mr. Fairchild complied, and eed nounced the interference. Mrs. Lefevro also went to the box, and Mr. Fairchild examined tho medium, and declared that it was ventrilo- quism ‘and that holes had been _ perforated in the sticking plaster and that the cords had been | tampered with, and he declared that it was a fraud. ‘Then there was more cheering. A rope had been pre- viously thrown out of the aperture, The audience then demanded that the medium be brought forth and examined, and tho Spiritualists cried, “Shame! Don’t burt her! She's a woman.’ Mrs, Wilson was found ina tranco state, and as Uncle | Ben had declared that the most ‘“‘scepticalist per- gon’? in the audience could not untic the medium Mr. Fairchild volunteered to do it, and succeeded after a while, being cheered loudly. Fairchild thon tied bis own hands behind his back and pronounced the séance a fraud. Legaras groaned londly, he in bis turn pronouncing the men in the audience ‘a lot of curs.” At this stage the ghostly orgie ended in the most violent uproar. Mrs, Wilson retreated in disorder to the aute-room, and the gas being Soenae of by the confederates the audi- ence emptied the hall, loudly cheering Mr. Fairchild, THE LACTOMETER QUESTION. To tam Epiror or THe Heraun:— For somo time past I have noticed a misunderstand- ing with respect to the lactometer in several articles that have appeared in print I propose, it you will allow me suiflicient space in your valuable paper, to offer an explanation for the different statements made by Dr. Doremus and the Board of Health, which seem (to persons that know very little about the lactometer) to conflict. Tne statement made by Dr. Doremus that the lactometer will not detect the adulteration of milk is certainly correct to a certain point, and it js not until this point is arrived at that the Board of Health take up the useof the lactometer. Let me explain further. There are‘any number of instruments called lactometers that are used to obtain the specific gravity of milk. All of these instruments differ with respect to their stdndard. Onone instrament the 100 mark cor- responds to specific gravity 1.034; on another, 100 is equal to specific gravity 1.033; another, 100 is equal to specific gravity 1.032; another, 100 is equai to specific gravity 1.051; another, 100 is equal to-specitic gravity 1.030, and on the instrument adopted by the Board of Health the 100 mark corresponds to specific gravity 1.029. This ag eee ee is much below the average specific gravity cow's milk at 60 di Fabrenheit, as determined by the most distin, aished guthorities on the subject of milk. The cor- rect average specific gravity of fresh cow’s milk is, according to i own observations, 1.032 at 60 deg. Fahrenheit. eo tage ad with the ex- periments made by Dr, Waller last summer on the milk from ninety-five cows around the vicinity of New York. (His experiments may be found recorded in ‘back nudimbers of the City Aecord.) I have frequently met with samples of fresh cow’s milk haying a ite gravity between 1,029 and 1.030, but only once have I ever found the specific gravityelow 1.929. The sample I refer to was milk from an Alderney cow, owned by a Vaerat at Nyack, which gave a specilic gravity 2864 at 60 dog. Fabrenbeit, On analysis this sample of milk richer in milk solids than any samplo of milk I have been able to find recorded. I theretore do not hesitate to say that any milk which tests bolow 100 on the instrament adopted by the Board of Health has been tampered with. Mill can be skimmed of its cream, which will increase the specific gravity of the fuid. Water may then be added and the speci A ange brought back to ite original standard. This has been shown over and over again, the lactometer bas t bear it, being per: fectly useless to detect such adulteration. But this tampering with milk can only be carried on between Yee ches points, never below the specific gravity 1.029, unless sume solid substance be added. Milk de- prived of its croam may be watered until ite specific gravity falls far bolow 1.029, and then some solid sub- ona ab Mar and pall. may be added until tae the standard, 1.029, fe brought to simply on the ub the Hoged of Health does not rely . When any ag yd with, the mulk is submitted to chemical Sng amperg wih term eae 12 per cent of TEavtmade Goring she pst summer a large of analyses of adul ted milk, but have me samples adulterated with soy ibing bai ‘his being the case, any sample o! specific gravity than 1.029, as shown by the lac- | tometer used by the Board of Health, is podouniediy adulterated; and, further, when this test {s combin analysis, Lhe proof could not become cas to cream, as a great deal has been said regarding it from time to time, It is weil known fact that the specifie gravity-of cream is less than that of fresh cow’s milk, and. thé remark has been made that ifa sample of cream was tested by the Board of Health it would be discarded as adu!terated milk, Adi I have to say on this point is that ifa person is not able to distinguish cream or cream and milk by its F popy pret alone that person is not fit to operate with the lactometer.
