10 DIRTY STREETS Indignant Citizens Vainly Looking for the Broom Brigade. FOUL SMELLING POOLS. What the People Say of the Street Cleaning Department. ‘The east side of town appears to be even worse off in the matter of clean and well paved streets than the west. Alarger tenement house population is found ou the east side and the streets, too, are narrower. The sewerage, also, is inferior to that of the west side, and if ever an epidemic arising from luck of vanitary precautions breaks ont in this city it will be most apt to originate in some portion of the terri- wry lying east of Chatham strect and the Bowery snd between Madison street and Houston. Above @ouston and as far as Twentieth street there are many thoroughfares to be found at present in a filthy con- lition, and except that the streets are wider and more open than those in the section of the city velow Houston, they are no better off in point of cleanliness, Clinton street, as it looked yesterday, was ina very unsavory condition, In front of the uouses Nos. 91, 117 and 133 the garbage receptacles were overflowing, and the surplus was dispersed half way across the street and sodded into the mud by the wheels of the passing vehicles. At No. 170 a pile of whes, mingled with household refuse of different tinds, had been spilled over the curbstone into a hole made by the excavation of several cobblestoues, and here little boys and girls from the neighboring tene- nent houses were floundering about for want of 4 nore available play ground. A woman with bare and srawny arms, who was looking at the capers of “the ibildher,”’ as sheealled them, on being asked when she thought the street had been cleaned last, replied: 9 AN INDIGNANT CITIZENESS, “In throth I dumno, an’ I don’t think it looks as if tt was iver claned. I seen two min here about a week ago purtindin’ to take the dirt away; but it was pnly a cat's lick they give it, an’ now it’s as bad as iver it was.

At No. 79 Ridge strect, in front of a high tenement house in which there must have been twenty families living, there was amass of domestic sweepings saturated in a deep mud puddle und look- ing very offensive to the eye. Opposite Nos. 88, 00 and 108, in the same street, drawn across ay, between Nos. 124 and’ 126, ‘ad collected which exbuled t of un a pond of dirty an unpleasant NOT SO BAD IN WINTE Third street, for four blocks, was unpresentable, Jacob Eirhich, a beer saloon proprietor at No front of which wax @ pile of unsightly looking rub- bis, said:—“Dhas iss de vay ool de toime, summer an’ vinter, but it don’t shmell so pad in de vinter.

Fred Hos- tenic, another beer vender in thix ie region, guid, “Dis sthroet vax no petter any oder dime. Dey sweeps it now, and by shiminy it iss ax pad to-morrow. Dey don't know how to sweep. Dey should bring a hose and yvash it oat, because it is full of holes, where she dirt stays mit us all the year xo reund. OVERVLOWING BOXES OF GARBAG! on Fifth street, tacing ’ 498 were boxes of garbage entirely inadequate to a ninodate the household refuse ments behind them, and th sidewalk and bese et were littered with parbug. ing a disag ¢ display.

It was full of stagnant pools of water yesterday, owing to the irregularity of the strect pavement,” Eleven’ xtreet is another of the unclean thoroughfares, ticeably dirty spots along it were in front of Nos. ; a0, 482 and 544.

THE HORROR OF ASPHALT PAVEMENT, Fighteenth street was laid down a few years ago in asphait t, but like all other streets in the city that submitted to the experiment it is snflering now from a conglomeration of tar, gravel and cobble- stone, and the result is a countless succession of ruts and holes, in some of which the wheels of vebicles are buried almost to the hub.

Between Fourteenth and Twe ticth streets, on Firstavenue, many spots were noticed that called loudly for the application of the broom, Ae aker on the avenue on being asked when he saw the sweepers around last replied, “It is some time now.

PIGEON SHOOTING. INTERESTING EVENTS NEAR LONG BRANCH~ MR. K. B. ANGELL, OF NEW YORK, DEFEATS 4 PHILADELPHIA AND MONMOUTH CHAMPION. , Loxa Buancu, Noy. 23, 1878, Despite the raw northeast wind which whistled through the woods of Monmouth this morning quite a large gathering of the lovers of good pigeon shoot- ing assembled near Cook's to witness the matches of the Seaside Gun Club at pigeon and glass ball shoot- ing. It was the regular monthly handicap meeting of the club, and on handicap day the New York boys turn out in their strongest numbers. This and in the expectation of a match between R. B. Angell, of New York; Thomas B, Owens, of Philadelphia, and Captain Green, of Monmouth, was the means of bringing thither many spectators from New York and Philadelphia. A few weeks ago Owens, of Philadel- phia, won a match with Dr. Ellis, of New York, and to-day New York again seored a victory, Mr. Angell Fe OOTBALL, YALE AND HARVARD TEAMS—PLAY FOR THE COLLEGE CHAMPIONSHIP—AN EXCITING GAME— YALE THE WINNER. (BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.1 Boston, Mass., Nov. 23, 1878. An important event in college sporting annals— nately, the defeat of the Harvard University football fifteen by the Yale team—transpired here to-day. The contest took place on the grounds of the famous Bos- ton baseball champions, although the Cambridge grounds were in much better condition for good sport than the Boston ball field, Harvard was com- pelled to select the lutter grounds in order to secure the presence of one of her best rushers, who was re- cently suspended and thereby forfeited the right to visit Cambridge during the term.of his sus- defeating Mr. Owens and Captain Green, the latter | pension, The game, notwithstanding the soft especially very bad. aud extremely slippery condition of the HANDICAP MAYeIT. ‘The day's sport was opened by a handicap mateh at 10 birds each, handicap rise, Eaglish rules, Ta this there were twelve entrances; the prize being a hand- ground, was weil contested, both teams by frequent quick and telling plays cliviting hearty applause, and giving evidence of much work and thorough disci- pline.

SOUND WORDS OF ADVICE FROM THE GREAT RE- FORMER—-A ‘TOUCHING STORY. “The good work still gocs on,” said Brother Francis Murphy yesterday, as he surveyed the great crowd at the noon prayer meeting in the Seventh Street Methodist Episcopal Church. If the good work con- tinues to grow in strength he will have to provide better accommodation for those anxious to hear him, The feature of the noon service was the story told by Murphy of a visit to the State Prixon of Rhode Island, where he went on the invitation of the Goy- crnor of that little State some time since. quested, he said, to say 4 few words to the inmutes, and on entering the place noticed a man reclining on a cot and an older man sitting | beside him trying to console him. The — jailer’ informed him that tho man on an cel saat 'a: cone viet, and that | the old gentleman — who was talking to him was his father, who had just ar- rived to console the last moments of a dying son, “As Lapprouched the bed,” said Brother Murph: could see the sad face of the young man; hix eyes were sunken, but wonderfully bright. Theard him say to hin’ father, who was weeping bitterly, ‘Father, take me home with you; can’t I go wiil ‘The father went to the superintendent to im plore that his sou might be allowed to go home with him, giving the most solemn and fervent assurances that if he recovered, which was very doubtful, he would be returned to the jail. It was no use, the rules were inexorable, and tho po youth had to remain in jail to die. I learned that the poor fellow had been eddicted to drink and hix father had. turned him away from home; he went from bad to worse and finally came to jail @ broken down man in the moraing of his priiue. The father, when he learned that his son must die in a jail, was almost be- side himself with mortification and remorse for his harsh treatment of his own boy. In his agony of heart he exclaimed:—‘O God had 1 only had more charity and forgive- ness in my_ heart, be mine.’ Let those who have relatives who are under the blight of liquor take a warning and sock | to bring the erring ones home by kindness and not drive them to desperation by harshnes: A number of ladies, who wished to show a good examp! hearted ones among the men, came forward and signed the pledge. SOUND WORDS FROM MURPHY. ‘During the ¢ session Brother Murphy told listeners. tl a's first duty was to help him- nd that he waa incapable: of helping any one else until he learned to help himself, They might, he said, dismiss from their minds the delusion that any dozep men could convert New York and make mperance city. Liquor selling here, he a branch of trade as selling have something else to do besides biac! guarding men who engage in this trafic. [have made up my mind not to deal in the goods they offer, and if a majority of New York's citi- zens will follow my example and st the pledge these men will have to close up their shops for want of custom. That's the way to stop the liquor traflic."” Brother Bounce said, * like Alexander Von Him- boldt,” after he had made a rambling speech of some minutes’ duration, and Brother Murphy, catching him by the coat-tai!, said, “Time! young man ;time!’” aud summarily cut him short.

Pattern, a city missionary, led in prayer md yave instruction and advice to the congro- tation, founded on events in his own religious cx- perience. ‘The Widow found an opportunity, in announcing her movements to-day, to enter a protest against thowe who describe vad an being oppore| to Murphy. wh “Twill but beean orrow, Te 1 ages I love to labor far Gud. dare to say they over found me opposing t temperance.” Later in. the meeung she prayer for the success of the Murphy move! ‘At the ovening mecting no regular form of serv was adopted.

If the parties who inaugurated # raid upon the stock market yesterday and repeated it to-day have any faith in the French adage which proclaims that there is “no success like success,” they must have been rather disgusted at the complete miscarriage of their attempt. As prices recovered their pounding yeaterday sy did they recover to-day—they even did more, for closing quotations showed 4 considerable improvement upon lowest ones, as well as being within a fraction of the best of the session. The drive was especially directed this morning against the grangers, with the vesult of weakening prices about a half per cent, It would probably have been extended to Lake Shore as well had it not been for oa “nolle me tan- gere’” look about the stock which warned of beurish trespassers. In fact, it retained this ap- pearance the day through, and by way of proving that there was real strength to buck it figures were advanced from 69 to 60%, and the rise sustained within an eighth per cent in final dealings. Later in the day the grangers, plucking up fresh courage, fol- lowed suit with a rally from their depression, and finished with a gain in the case of the St. Paul proper- ties of a clear *{ per cent on opening prices, Of course the.whole street set to work cndgelling its brains to discover what it all meant. Unfortunately the brains of the street are not those of Jove, and re- liable information seldom or never springs from them, like Minerva, full armed with the panoply of truth, ‘Chere was no want of good guesswork, | however, which is next door to it, and this had it that the Osborn-Vanderbilt _ in- terest was largely engaged in the purchase of Luke Shore, and thut Mr. Gould was paying equal attention tothe buying of St. Pauls, Certainly the personality of the brokers employed would suggest that the street had correctly bucked their opinion upon this “double event.” Although the advance made to-day in the Northwestern speculation was in- significant the stock continues to rotuin the confi- | dence of operators, both lay and professional. ‘Lhe “talk” so profusely indulged in previous to the company’s last cluction anent Gould's continuance in the dirvetion ix being revived with a fresh display of »quence in respect to the one to come. It is ru- mored that a new attempt will be made to cut off this offending member, one reason for so doing being the | allegation that he is a bear on the stock, This burst of virtue from his imimuculate co- | directors, who are probably not short only because there is more money in being long, is refreshing, to say the least of it. But the query arises, “ls Mr. Gould short of the stock, afterall?’ There was no chance in the coal stocks, the small improvement made at one time be- ing lost ut the close. ‘The same may be said of the rest of the semi-active list, which was shelved for the day out of speculation’s way. In fact, the bulk of the day’s dealings were confined to Lake Shoreand the yrangers. At present the bullish feeling is confined to these stocks, and holders are quite confident that a handsome Christmas box will be the reward of those who are bold enough to buy, The gencral market closed strong after a day of small fluctuations and more than usual dulness. ‘The opening, highest, lowest and closing prices of | stocks and gold at the New York Stock Exchange were :— Opening.
