WORK FOR THE SWEEPERS: Localities in Which the Broom Is Sadly Needed. THE SEVENTEENTH WARD. After a Brief Period of Cleanliness Some Streets Are Dirty Again. In apite of oceasional lapses in some parts of the uy tbe energies of the Street Cleaning Bureau are pretty well maintained aud the tower wards, especially the east side, show marked improvement. A fort- aight ago the Thirteenth ward was, in the languags of some o! its denizens, “a sight to behold.”’ Sire Ike Broome, Delancey and Rivington, crowded with tenement bout nd swarming with childrep, wero ip a state ol reeking filth. The streets which inter. sect them were equally Mlithy and the entire district hud been neglected for a long time. A week later there wasa great improvement in their condition and tho visits of the Heraxp reporters to these loeal- ityes yesterday show that this improved condition is pretty evenly maintained. ‘This, however, cunnot be Suid for the Seventeenth ward, for, as will be seen below, alter its recent but briet period of clean!iness, it has lapsed into its old and dirty ways, and reeks again with all manner of garbage and filth, The cobble siones in some streets and Belgian blocks iu others, which but a short time ago looked up with cloan faces, ag it were, at the reai- dents, are again disappearing beneath accumulations of Mith, and, unless a speody broom be applied to them, are destined, in the course of human events, to disappear altogether. THE TWIRTERNTA WARD, During tho afternoon the Thiricenth ward was thoroughly explored. This ward comprises that sec- tion of the city between Norfolk strect ana the East River, and betweon Rivington and Graua streets from the river to Put street, and Rivington and Division streets from Pitt to Nortotk, It 1s in the charge of Officer Francis Smith. The efficiency with whicb he is doimg his work 1s both a surprise and a gratification, Provious to the reporter's visit yesterday Grad street had been swept, and it was in excellent condition, ex- cept that in places the swoepings bad been allowed to remain in beaps waiting for the carts, Broome stroct from Norfolk to Pitt was as bright a a new pin, and from Wallets to the river it was also in falr condition. The block between Pitt and Willett had been vory dirty, but a man was engaged in sweeping tho filth (nto large heaps. Tere were piles of dirt also in Broome street, near the rivor, and the same pecull- arity was observed in otber parts of the ward, show- ing a deflelency in the number of carts allotted to the district. Deiancoy strect was in marked contrast with both Grand and Broome, being dirty where it was not absolutely filthy. Thus it will bo scen that of the threo wain thoroughfares which traverse this ward two wore almost clean and tho third 18 pot by apy @eans 80 bad as it was two weeks ago, THE CROSS STREETS, ‘The streets which cross Grand, Broome and Delane tey ut right angles wore also found to be greatly im- proved, Clinton street is in very {air condition, At- torney street, of which there was mueh complaint previously, vied with Clinton street in cleanliness, Ridge, Pitt and Willett strects, south of Broome, are in excellent condition, but none ef them is to be much commended between Broome and Delancey. Columbia, Cannon and Lowis streets are comparatively clean, butare iv need of a little more vigorous upplication of the broom, Theee ts a bad spot in front of the biacksmitu’s shop in Goerck street, between Broome hud Delapeey, und wn ther in front of No. 41. Lewis Atreet, north of Delancey, has not been swept ree cenily, and probably the Mlthiest part of Deiancey sireet 18 between Lewis and Goerck, 4 FILTHY CORNER. ‘tne cornor formed by the inversection of Grana aud Pitt streets with Division street is even now a very filthy triungle, At Norlolk and Division streets tuere is a chrouic condition of dirty gutters, aud above Jeflerson Division street looks asi it bad pot been Woucbed by the street sweepers at all. In Hester Birect, near the corner of Sulfolk, thero isu pool ot dirty "water on the south sive of the block and another on the north side, but the datter has the ad- Vantage of being largely mixed with soap. Sullolk street, between Hester and Grand, 18 very dirty, and the gutters are filed with dirty water the entire length of tbe block. Above Grund sireet itis nut so Dud, perbape, but it still needs @ Vigorous application of the broom. THE SEVENTEENTH WARD. The Soventeeuth wurd, provably one of the moft popuious inthe entire cy of New York, casting year Aller year aa enormous vote on election day, suould tortailly receive some consideration at the breoms, Wnovas tno hands, of the Street Cleaning Bureau.

HE BAY. For some time past tho Boara of Pilot Commis- siovers have veen receiving complaints of parties dumping garbige and all ‘kinds of refuse in the rivers, bay aud maio sbip chanaels, Ine principal offenders, it 18 alleged, have been the Streot Cleaning Bureau, under the control of the Boara ot Puillco Commissioners, and the Atiantic Dredging Company, which has the contract for removing the mud on the East River, aud the Union Dredging Company, wuich is employed on tho Norh Rivor tor the samo purpose by the Department of Docks, The Commissioners of Pilots have severa times called the attention of tho Police Commissioncrs to the matter, bat without obtaining any abatement ot tha nuisance. They also addressed a communica- tion to the Department of Docks, enclosing a copy of the charges made against thelr contractors, calling their attention te the violation of the law, and asking jor prompt action on their part to prevent its repeti- tion, Tho only satisiaction they received trom this department was u demand for the proofs inthe case, and when Joseph Conway, Inspector of the Board of Pilot Commissionera, weat to offer the same he was informed that the Dock Commissioners wore out of town; But this is not ail, The Commissioners of Pilots have been receiving complaints from pilots every day of the danger to the barbor by ‘the dumping of tunis relusc It seems that the offenders, when followed too closely by the Tnspector of the Pilot Commissioners, would go out beyond Sandy Hook and dump the garbuge iu the mein channel. ‘Iho pilots claimed that tuere would be goon formed an obsiructioa to navigation, and Ubat, from this refuse, the Police Commissioners would in asbort time hayea monument erected to their de- partment in the lower bay. ‘Tue Pilot Commis- sioners, having uo jurisdiction outside of Sandy Hook, determined to call the ationtion of tue government to the matter, and accordingly opened a correspondence with Commodore Clitz, inspector of the Third Lighthouse-district, Tne Gom- miodore replied that he hud no authority in the premises aud could only refer the cotoplaint to the Lighthouse Board at Washiagton, He also stuted tat while on duty in the vicinity of Romer Beacon he hud seen scows dumping refuse matter into the Swash Channel, one of the wost importunt channels in the harbor, and which is used more thau the main ship channel. In a subsequent letver Cummodore Cliz stated that the Lighthouse Board at Washington had informed him that they had no juriadiction 10 the mi ter, but had reterred it to the Secretary of the tre: ury with the suggestion that such action be as would result in preventing further damaze the entrance to the port. Secretary Sherman was away {rom Washington at tho time, but it seems that on his returo be was strongly impressed that sumo action should be taken tn the promises, for, In aleticr to Commodore Clitz, he expressed that opipion and informed bim that the ouly way of stopping the abuse was for tho Board of Pilot Commissioners to havo all the affldayits 1 wituesses to the dumping drawn up, and then to reler tho matter to the Attornoy General of tbe United Stutes, who would goto the proper court and apply for an injunction to restrain these parties from lurther dumping of dredyings or garb. ‘The principal plaves where tbe reiuse bas been dumped uro off Gravesend Buy, Owl’s Head, Robbin’s Roc! Lighthouse, on the east bank, outside of Romer Beacon, hear the Kust Channel, aud in Swash Cuannel, Parties’ have also taken advantage of the midnight hour to dump refuse iu tho North River, There are a great number of witnesses to these ubuses, but the principal one is Joseph Conway, tho Inspector to the botrd of Pilot Commissioners, whose duty it 1s to look alter obstructions to navigation. On Thursday night the Inspector says be followed the tug und scows of the Union Dredying Company three mules to sea, and, on bis ret ie saw eight scows, of tbe Poice Commissiouers, off Graveseud Bay, he gg jor the ebo tide und daylight to dump their loads, which consisted of at least filtecn bundred tons of gurbuge. Ype Board ef Pilot Commissioners meet to-day und will, ib 1a stated, take some action in relerouce to the letter of Secretary Shermun, GARBAGE IN HAS THE GOVERNMENT JURISDICTION IN THE MATLER? Wasnixaros, Sept. 9, 1878, The Solicitor of the Treasury has not yot completed his opinion for the consideration of the Secretary concerning the deposit oi garbage in the Lower Bay of the port of New York, It may be fluished to-mor- row.

An important matter came up before Judge Sinnott, in the Marine Court, yesterday, covccrning the rights of tenants. 1t appears that on the lat day of May last, Garrett Nagle, as agent of Jobn 7. Nugle, leased No. 87 Thira avenue for ope yoar to Jonu Conway, a mer- chant. Owing to some misunderstanding Mr. Con- way became indebted to Nagle 1a the sum of $160 for rent, and Mr. Nagle instituted proceedings to eject bim from the premises. Mr, Conway allowed the caso to go by dolault, aud Judge Sinuott ordered judg- ment directing bim to remo’ forthwith from the premises, .Au application was mude vy Counseilor Alfred Steckler on behalf of sir, Conway yesterday to got aside the judgment against hin, and to permit Dim to remain in possession of the promises upon paying ali the reut due. * Counsel claimed that the landiord could not ejoct the tenunt if he offered to pay the reut ut any time before he was ousted from the prem- ises. Mr. Nagle opposed the application, avd claimed ‘\uat he would ve greatly prejudiced if Conway was ailowed to come iuto she premises again, as be had already leased the premises to otnors. Judge Sinnoit decided in lavor of tue tonunt, aud allowed hum to re- main 1D possession upen payment of tho rent and costs. Elizabeth Muller purchagod from Ulrich Rehm a shanty ov a lot on Seventy-first street, botween Eighth and Ninth avenues, for $135. She paid down $85 and says the agreement was tbat she should re- tun the balance of $50 until Kehm produced a re- ceipt for thas sum alrenay due to the owner of the lot jor ground rent.

HAS SHE NO KEDRESS? 4 SOUTHERN WOMAN'S FXPERIENCES IN NEW YORK—SICKNESS, POVERTY AND IMLPOSI- TION. One of those sad phases of metropolitan Life, where even courts und magistrates are powerless to redress tho wrong, engagod the attention of Judge Gedney, at the Kighth Judictal District Court, during tbe eu- ure afternoon of yesterday. It was the day set down for the trial of the caso of Louise Ni Henry M. Greenburgh, Cornelius Farley and John A. Dunn, and ull the parties to the sult wero tp court ate tended by their counsel, Louise ts a bright, tatelli- gent wulatto woman ot about twenty-five, who keops ‘a magnetic healing establishment for the cure of nervous diseases at No, 343 Sixth avenue. Im July last ber i child became sick; sho needed money and appealed to one Bernstein for tho loan of $20. ‘Tue latter said that be could not give It himself, but would procure her some one who would advance the money. Such an individual was found in Mr. Groen- burgh, of No. 184 East Broadway, who loaned her $20 upon ber giving @ chattel mortgage op personal prop- erty, chielly (uruiturs, valued tu all at $400. Loatse, so her story goes, had agreed to pay $5 per month for the use of the monoy, and had paid $15 on account, when, on Jaly 22, Bernstcin cume in und de- manded all the money, She suid she would band him bat he ctaimed , & marshul, up: peared on the scene and demanaed $47, whicd in- cluded bis costs. She again offered the $20, saying thut she did not owe $47; but her appeal was in vuln. Hor carpets wore ripped up and her suraiture taken 1o John A, Dunn’s place, utNov. 59 Great Jones street, at five o'clock in the afternoon. The next morning at ton o’clock it was sold for $70, but not a single cent of the surplus money was uanded to her, it being Cluimed that the costs bad eaten up the balance, Un the 9th of August tas sbe brought suit against the above named parties the latter presented bouds to have tho cuse removed to the Court of Com- mon Pleas, but the surctios were not approved vy the Court. Defendants then asked fora postpone- ment of tho cuse, but Mr. Jorulemoo, counsel tor pluintifl, after reciting the above tacts, satu:—"This {gacase of upasual burdship. They bave iteoraily stripped my chent vf everything sbe haa in the worla. She has not a bed on which to rest berscif or her cutld, and the defendants snould have been pre- pared to go on with the cage ut once.’”’ The Court ac- knowledged that it was a case of great hardsbip, but set down the trial tor yesterday alterooon, Louise Nelson told ber story in a straightiorward, jntelitveot manner. She had tormerly lived io West, Flu., wuere sho married whou valy thir years olage. Subrcquently sho removed to Suva ah, where she kept a boarding house, and foally camo to New York as a physioioa, She thew reluted the story of her chiid’s sickness and ber atlempt to raise moncy, The mortgage, which was actually waae out for $150 inszeud of $20, was here offered in evidence, Mr. Tallman, counsel fur one of tho dew feudunts, here raised the point that the Court had no power to 6ct aside the provisions of a seuled tustru- ment, : CAN THE COURT HELP HER. This, indeod, -uid Judge Gedney, 13 the serious law point involved, abd 1 woubt wuether « District Court possesses such power, dr. Jeralcmou, counsel tor tho plainttil, suid:—“In no O.ber chy bur the city of New York could such a bigh-bandcd outrage be por- matted, Here was turniture seized at five o'clock In the afterncon and wold at tea the next morning, aod tho uuctioneer permits o0 trace of the goods tous illic. gally taken to be had. Judge Geaney repliod ;~-"1 have no doubt of traud 80 far as tue mortgage lisolf ts concerned, and, ug a mate ter of course, the avtion of both the nucttuncer wad warsha) is legal, and I should like to punish it sum- ily. Yot 1 have my doubts for the reasons ubove A court of record bas the right to set asido written instruments; but a3 to the action vl this cours 1 muet reserve my decision.” Io the course of the lengthy testimony given by the plaintiff she broke down swice, overcome by tours, and when Bernateia charged that she Lad also borrowed $8 from bim 10 pay Folico Captaia Williams, Louise stuted empbuticully that sbe did oot even Know Cap- tain Willams. When asked why, If sbe had paid $15 0p account, sbe did nut get a receipi, she suid to Bern- stelu, “Because you said you were afraid of tho law.’? Tho case naturally excl! considerable fate: among the residcuts of Sixth avenue, where Mies svn is well kuowa. ThaCourt's decision will be ren. dered in a day or two. COMPROMISE JUDGMENTS. THE EXPENSES FOR WEDENING BROADWAY AND OPENING RIVERSIDE PALE. There bas beco a loug and oarnest contest in the courts jn regard (o tho charges wade by the commis- sions respectively for widening Broadway trom ‘Thirty-iourth to Fifty uinth streots and for the open- ing of Riverside Park, At length the protracted ti- gations havo been brought to a cluse, and the com- promise judgments agreed upon in both cases were erday fied in the County Clork’s office. As will be seen by tho facts and tigures given below these Judgments tull far short ot the original claims. In tho matter of the Broadway widening, the suit in tbe case was brought by Charles G. Cornell aud James B, Nichvison aguinst the city, aud Etlen C. Heunessy, administrainix of James 8. Honnessy. Messrs. Cornell, Nicvolson and Hennessy were the Commissioners of Estimate, and their bill of costs as SUCH COMmMissioners Was Laxed at $165,682 40. This bill was coplirmed by the Supreme Court ou Decomver 28, 1870. ‘The copfirmatiou on appeal was set astue by the Supreme Court, Gederal Term, in April following, alter which new’ commissioners were uppoiuted, Since that time the matter bus been ir. quently belore uo courts, and alter hanging fire for severa! years has resulted in a final Jasgment of $94,459 02 tor Mesera, Corocil and Nicuelsoo, and of 611 86 for Mra, Hennessey. The salt in the ¢ of the Riverside Park was brought by Hugh Smith, William M, Tweed, Jr., and John J. Lradisy, executor of the late James M. Sweeny, the last named tieman and Mesure, Smith and Wiiliam M. Pweod, Jr., bemg the Commissioners of Estimate, This bill, taxod at $242,001, had the me luck in belng coutirmed, but tn Jauuary, 1872, the Supreme Court, Genoral Term, 1u like manuer set aside the confirmation. A new report was mado iu August following, in which the charges amounted to $192,238 31. The comprom! judgment entered yeateruay giv 2, Simi ‘und Witham M.
