CARNIVAL WRECKS. A nat After the Plot of the Late Gigantic Faree, “REX” DETAILS HIS MISERIES. Scenes of Desolation and Groans of Disappointment. THE SUICIDAL WAITER. Throwing the Blame on the Police, the Red Fire and the People. A MELANCHOLY MEETING. When a Herap reporter entered the Sturtevant Houso yesterday not one of the many flaming placards which Were wont to polut the way to the committeo room of the “Varntyal Association’? remained to pilot ine adventurous explorer of the sea of ca al failure. Groping his way through the devious maze of vorri- dors Jeading to room 6, Le paused betore a fast-Larred door. The passage was shrouded im a darkness alinost ny Cimmerian as that which euvelopod the floats in the pageant on Tuesday night, ‘hrough this pal of gloom the ghost of a figure bore down upou the per- plexed seribe, 1t resolved itself shortly into the per- son of a buxom chambermaid, with a bunch of rattling keys of much more worthy metal than that which Rex received as an annual lien on the liberties of the metropolis, aud of so much more use that one of them served to open the door of what was a few brief days ago the home of King Carnival’s Prime Minister. THE ABANDONED CAMP. ‘A flood of sunlight streamed throagh the maze of plants m the two windows and flecked the richly care peted floor, Everything, however, was as prim and forma) as the bare beaches in a nonconformist con- yenticle, and even the motes of dust which danced io the golden shafts of light were few and far between. No scrap of paper, no spot of ink on carpet, wall oF tovle; no mark, however phantomllke, of the dead car- sival remained, No whiffof the tobacco sinoke, the red fire (which would not burn), or the very, very dear champagne, which chivily ebaracter: the Ybree phases of Tuesday’s fluseo, tainted the sweet odor of the exotic window gardens and the perfumed jloors. Tue late incumbents of the room had evi- doutly retroated in good order. Even the usually brous military chest, with its precious freight, vanished, “Where is the Earl Grand Marshal??? asked the re- porter, alter a comprehensive survey ofthe room. The buxor chambermaid paused tn her violgnot assault on & supposititious speck of dust on the lounge, set ber mbo and eyed the proposer of the conundrum for a moment with an expression as mdescrivable as the colors of a rainbow. | “IVs my belief he’s skipped’? she said tersely. “He was always a sensible mun,’’ and the persecution ou sinary mote on the furnivure diverted her iisdhion gain from the beam she hinted at in the 1.

Mr. Lewis Leland, of the Sturtevant House, was seen yesterday, and expressed his views on the carni- yai substantially us follows:~ “t had ag idea that « carnival would be a good thing for New York, and I went into tho alfair with my entire soul.

Mr. Bergh’s Unsuccessful Efforts to * Suppress the Trade, MOCK -FRIALS. Juries and Justices Sympathizing with the Malefactors. The pest hovels at. Blissville have oxisted without molestation fur years, and no paid official on Long Island has ever put out His haiid to prevent the death distributing tratic, The plague nests are always open to investigation if the officials in the nelghboryood choose to exercise their authority and demand an ex- aminauion. INTERVISW WITH MI, BERGH, Every one has wondered why Ar, Bergh. has. pot, With his usual vigor, undertaken to drivo out these beast torturers and infant nsurderers from their abodes on Long Isiand. itis obvious to any one with ordi- nary sense that it is crucl to keep cows shut up in flithy dens and {fecd them upon. swilh The Hexaty reporter yesterday called upon Mr. Bergh at bis office to ascertain why the cows wero aliowed to yematn im the filthy shed: Mr, Borgh treatud the HuraLp reporter with bis usual courtosy, the following conversation took plac Mr, Borgh, why do you mot go over to Long Island and prosecute the swill milk dealers there for con- fing ther animals in unboulthy places and feeding them on swillt??

I donot hesi- tute to give it a8 my opinion that in no othor part of the United States are justice and the ordinary forms of law treated with greater contempt than on Long Island, Several portions of it are now actually beld aud raled by ruffians, and, another legal investigation, the officers of the law cannot go there without the risk of assassinatiod, I believe that it is a mere ques- tion of time ere tt will be impossible for respectable citizens to reside in any parts of that beautiful Island, for it will have passed completely into the hands of the oatlawa of socioty.
