10 NEGLECT BES oT RSS East Side Thoroughfares in a Ter- rible Condition, ST SWEEPING WHERE MOST NEEDED ED STREETS. LE Many Tenement House Districts Threat- ened with Malaria cee aoe SUGGESTIONS WORTH NOTING As a rule the most neglected streets are those where people of little or no consequence in the social seale reside, and Water and Cherry streets may be quoted as examples. There are exceptions, however, 4s in the case of the Five Points, which, since it was newly paved, is almost as clean to look at ona fine day | as Fifth avenue itself, There is no reason why such streets as Water and Cherry should not be kept in as good order as the Five Points, and some people be- lieve it would be sound sanitary policy to neglect, i necessary, our avenues, that such swarming centr of population as Cherry strect be swept and ma wholesome to live in every day. Hundreds of str up town, it is: thought, could get along very well without the use of a broom on them for a whole week; but there are sircets in the crowded parts of the city down town, on both the east and west sides, that urgently demand sweeping every day. WHERE THE DIRT ABOUN Among the streets on the east side noticed yester day by a Henar reporter as being in need of the broom and the ash cart were North William str and before the following numbered houses there was abundance of work for the scavengers of the Street Cleaning Bureau :—Nos. 233 and barrels and boxes of garbage overflowing on the sidewalk and ont upon the street; Nos. 225 and 232, a mass of mud and refuse, and the same before Nos. 216 and 218, The whole block requires a thorough cleaning, but there was no trace of a scavenger anywhere. In front of Adam Lederle’s beer saloon, on Duane street, off Chatham, was a beastly collection of filth, and there was much black sli . mingled with straw and mannre, opposite Nos. 2, 9 and 13. In Rose street, where the poor and lowly Awellers | are numerous, along channel of yellow, stagnant water lay by the curbstone opposite Nos. and 4 dead and long defunct cat was stretched out in front of No. 2, a box of recking garbage stood before No. 24, and in front of Nos. 11,13 and 15 were two fuil cartloads of filth. A resident of the street said to the reporter “Well, I suppose it ain't worth while sweeping an old street like this, aud that’s the reason why it is this way. Iremember @time, though, when it was us clean a street as any in the city and respectable peo- ple lived here. They give ita wipe once in a whil but I guess they say to themselves any kind of str or devils that live here now. Frankfort street is in a bad way and ought to be both paved and cleaned. ‘There were dirty spots ob- served yesterday facing Nos. a, and 34. bbiestones had been upr and the holes led wi fuli of filth ‘cums of lirty water Were running ov ‘alks from the houses. The gutters in New Chambers street re- quire cleaning out. Roosevelt street niust have been neglected for some time, as its appearance yesterday was perfectly dis- graceful. in front of No. 89 stood a big tub of gar- bage that must have n accumulating for several days, and attention is directed to the state of ai N Nos. ud and handfuls of straw refuse, sawdust, manure, es, old shoes and shreds of clothing were strewn about in heterogeneous confusion. A SUGGESTION FOR THE BUREAU. Thomas Redigan, who keeps a saloon on the corner of the street, and was engaged at the time sweep his sidewalk and threatening the mischievous boya who were raiding the ashberrels with the dirty end of his broom, said:—“If they want to keep this street all right they must take away the contents of these garbage and ash burrels every night. That barrel there (pointing to one of hix own) hasn't been emptied in three days, und there's no place to put any more refuse, unless we throw it in the «treet. Then, again, they should sweep the street in the daytime, when they can see where the dirt is, in place of coming along at night when you can har.ly see your hand, and when nobody can tell whether they do the sweeping or not. These boys you see there give us a tot of trouble, but it wouldn't be so bad if the ash cartimen ¢ Jong every night and emptied the barrels, be * then these boys wouldn't have a chance of tumbling the stuff out on the street.”’ “Why is it that gutter isso full of water?’ asked the reporter. “That's because we have to sweep it ont ourselves and flood it with water to keep it clean. When the water is let run it will carry of the dirt with it down to the sewer.” TWO NOTORIOUS STREETS, at the lower t of it, where the onses end, and extending up along parallel to the East River tor many blocks, s uniformly filthy and badly paved. Of course the people who live on both sides of it may see nothing offensive in the dirt and perhaps think the street rather iu than otherwise, but that is because they uave been long accustomed to the sight. If clean gut- vers and sidewalks are needed anywhere it 1s here, “nh swarm and pass their lives in the ite the following bien N 27, i, Pe $, $49, 351, 381, 390, 392, 404, 406 and 408) All that” part of Water between Pike and Rutgers streets is in a filthy state. The street wax particn- larly bad in front of the last three mentioned num- bers. Cherry street, to which attention was drawn in a former article in the Henao, was almost as bad as ever, but the weather being fine and dry somewhat mitigated its appearance. The pavement of the street is in the worst possible state, full of rnts and depressions in which the dirt lodges and sticks per- tinaciously for a whole season. It ix a populous tene- ment house street and nee eful looking after to keep malarial diseases out of it. In front of the fol- ¥ looking dirt heapa:— 444, 446, 448 ay swept?” asked the te ter ofa man with # battered hat and a bine checked shirt who was sitting on the top step of an ancient stoop, up which, perhaps, in times long gone by. dainty and aristocratic feet have ascended. 2 ne entirely,” he answered, taking Nis pipe out of his mouth. “It's niver thinkin’ Tam av whin the ould sthreet was swep', but it’s how the devil I'l thry to git out of it. Butas you ax me the question I'm bound to say I niver seen anybody jn this sthre p t the neighbors and a tew ould codyers that come along now and thin with « big rake of a broom and take it aisy to themselves, etherin’ up the dirtin littie hapes here and there. That's all the sweepin’ seen, an’ the divil a bit o good Lever saw it do. It's the same ould sthreet it aiways was and always will be.” THe DUCTY KASE SIDR In Peck slip 7 and tn Front | street, faci and 21, mud as black as ink was remark In Dover #trert a dead cat lay opposite No. 37, and | several pails of ashes rhage were spilled’ over lewalk at Now. and 4). ers in Oliver street, facing Nos. 65, 07 and ed with black slime, from which there was a very perceptible cxhalation. The street is greatly in of & new pavement, the cobble stone being upr: in several places and very unevenly laid in oth There were ruts filled with mid at Nos. 77, ot aceep pool of water on which about a pailful of garbage was Boating. ‘ John Hogan, ving opposite here, said:.—“I expect streets like this are always neglected.

On Jeiferson street, at Nos. 52 and 64, were over- joaded barrels of ashes and garbage Montgomery street, near its eastern end, was con+ spicuous among the neglected streets, In frout of ‘0. 40 was a large mound of cval dust, mingled with straw and horse manure, und deep rute full of the viackest mud and dirt were uoticvable before Nos. 8, © and 62.

Goerck street had been partially swept, but unless the raked up piles of refuse are scon carted away the will be as bad as before. * east end of Third street, between Lewis and the East River, is in a neglected condition. {HE BATTLE OF THE CORONERS. Scammell, le opposite and loamy, and houses uum- 15, 19, 35 and 45, ‘The battle between Coroner Wiggins and Coroner Parslow, of Hoboken, for the possession of the re- mains of John G. Gandesberger, the young man who resided at No, 38 Mulberry strcet, this city, and whose Lody was found in the river near Hoboken on Wed- nesday, terminated yesterday in the holding of an inquest by Coroner Wiggins. Gandesberger was em- ployed by Fisher & Co, liquor dealers in Baxtor street, and on the Sth inst. he wont to Jersey Cit; Heights to deliver some liquor, After leaving Ohlen’ suloon, in New York avenue, he started for the saloon of Joseph E. Taylor, in Spring strect, West Hoboken. He never reached the phtce and was never heard of again until his body was recovered in the river on Wednesday. Coroner Parslow first took charge of the body, but County Physick Converse ordered it to be removed to Crane’s Morgue, and there the fight between the Coroners began, Crane desired to have the body removed from Parslow’s undertaking establishment to his own, which would entitle him to the receipt of morgue fees from the county. Coroner Pars- | low also. wanted the morgue fees and refused to deliver the body on the County Physician's order. The last named official then directed Coroner Wiggins to hold an inquest, taking the entire matter trom Mr. Parslow’s hands. Thus the matter ended, but the action of the County Physician will, it is thought, come before the Board ot Freeholders for investigation. ‘At the inquest held by Coroner Wiggins evidence was brought out showing that Gandesberger suffered from the effects of sunstroke tor several years and at times was demented. It was thought that during one of these spells he wandered to the river and was drowned. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death. The conclusion of the Jackson-Hunt case was ched yesterday, before Judge J. F, Daly, in the Court of Common Pleas. The action, as will be re- membered, was brought to recover some $30,000 which the plaintiff, as alleged, gave to the defendant under # promise of marriage. The case has occupied several weeks und has been hotly contested. Yesterday the defendant was examined | in surrebuttal and denied that she ever told Emma Campbell that she had promised to marry the plain- tiff, but didn’t mean to do so. She was then cross- ‘amined at great length about a mortgage which she raised, with a view to showing that she was not so affluent at the time in question us she represented herself to be, Other witnesses were examined, but their testimony was ummportant. The counsel wil submit their briefs next week. CITY NEWS ITEMS. ‘The police arrested 1,393 persous last week, ‘The Board of Excise granted fifty-seven licenses last week.

A. Rorit NAVAL GOLD LACE. AMERICAN UNIFORMS TO BE MODELLED ON FOREIGN PATTERNS—-WASHINGTON TAILORS ON DECK—OBJECTIONABLE INNOVATIONS IN OFFI- CIAL DRESS PROPOSED. It has been rumored in naval circles for several weeks that a change in the uniform of officers of the navy was contemplated, but as nothing definite could be learned that such a change was to be made no in- terest was attached to the rumor. About @ week ago an officer in Washington learned that a new uniform circular was in print and was about to be promulgated, and upon meking further inquiry it was learned that the new circular was advised” by three officers without the cognizance of any other officers of the service. ‘The proposed changes are absolutely objectionable to the officers, and are much in accord with the English style, which is objectionabie to English officers, ‘The officers of the navy feel so indignant that the uniform as 4t present, so thoroughly American in its simplicity and style, distinct im itself and so well known all over the world, should be changed to a uniform neither American nor English, but more the laiter than anything, that they have resolved to make de- termined protest against any change, for the above and several other reasous THE CIRCULAR, Navy Derarruent, : Wasiinaton, Nov. 20, 1878. | Undress and Service Frock Coat—Hereafter the service frock cont will have but fourteen instead of eighteen but east—seven in each row.

THE HARDSHIP OF THE MEASURE. ‘The first paragraph, changing from nine buttons to seven in row on each side of the front, not only renders the purchase of a new coat nec sury because of the supertiuous buttonholes, involving an expense of $70 or $75, but is entirely ummilitary. <o objection ix made to the change in the vest nor of he overcoat, except that it does away with the cape. ‘There is # change in the shape of the cap and the | fr panol beech abd —— aa its style, the sloping ng netiher military nor pleasant in its style. ‘The gold cord around the front of the cap is to be abolished, a plain leather strap taking its place, and the present cap device of mounting a shield, which is both plain and unique, is | laurel wresth en- | to be replaced by an (English) gol closing a silver eagle perched upon a foul anchor. ‘The proposed embroidery on the cap is new in the service und entirely English.

JERSEY CITY BANK TROUBLES. The announcement in the Hrxaup of the complaint against the directors of the Mechanics and Laborers’ Savings Bank of Jersey City created considerable ex- citement in that city yesterday, and caused a suspen- sion of the rush of depositors to the bank to sign the proposition of the directors to prevent the appointment of a receiver. Several directors, when interviewed as to their view of the complaint, said | that Mr. Furey, the complainant, should have waited until the Grand Jury had begun its session and laid | his charges before that body Spent bringing the matter into such prominence as he did. Judge Meehan, who issued warrants for the arrest of the directors and placed them in the hands of | Constable Feeley for service, was found in his office last evening. He said that no arrests had been made, but that several directors had been notitied that w rants had fasued for their arrrest and the; promised to nt themselves with bail Constable Feeley says that he visited the res cence of the former president, Mr. John Halliard, and also the office of the State Insurance Company, but failed to find him. In the evening Mr. | Gilbert Collins, Mr. Halliard’s counsel, visited the Judge and said that Mr, Halliard would furnish whatever bail was required t Although the Judge assured the reporter t been made Mr. James Furey, tli in the evening just ax positive! A director of the bank and~member of the Exeeu- tive Committee said that there was even now under: hand work going on in the institution, moeting of the depositors was held last night at Glaser’s Hall, on First street, which wes presided over by Mr. Henry Markham.

WALL Saneer, } Saturpay, Nov 1878, Whether it was that the bulls were belated this morning or thet the bears put in an unusually early appeurance, certain it is that the stock market showed a weakening tendency and gave way a fraction or two from opening prices; This condition of de- pression was, however, of short duration, An ar- rival of the bulls in force quickly carried things their own way, and before noon the decline had been re- coyered from znd stocks sent booming. ‘This favor- able effect was most particularly experienced by the St. Paul shares, next to them by the Northwesterns and next again by Lake Shore, It is begin- ning to be inquired why the Northwestern pre- ferred stock should be selling at 77); when the St. Paul preferred stock is selling at Ti. Vor four years back the lutter stock has divided seven per cent per annum, irregularly it is true, but surely, while the. Northwestern stock of the same grade has offered nothing better than un- certain and paroxysmal responses to t-.0 demands of stockholders. It is the fashion to-day, however, to back the Northwesterns for a rise, and as a general ihing they get the cream of popular attention and the earnings continue to be widely disscminated—a mat- ter of $16,000 being given as the increase for the sixth day of the fourth week in November—bnt there is | nothing said about the sparse earnings of last year and the almost entire stoppage of business as a result of the then existing mud blockade. A continnance of the greased pole business was again observable ip Lake Shore to-day. The price, after clambering up to 70';, slipped back to 691; and there rested at the close, The point of 40, or within a fraction thereof, scems to present a stumbling block insur- mountable to Jew or Gentile. A fresh rattling of the dry bones of the ordinarily torpid stocks was dis- played to-day by a revived activity in the C., C. and 1. C. shares, which advanced from $52; to $6 per share. The first mortgage bonds were even stronger in comparison, sales having been made as high as 58. When the pri¢e of these securities was at 43 some three months ago we hud occasion to suggest that the buyer would find “money in them,” and the cor- rectness of the surmise is proved by to-day’s quota- tions. Friends of the property who have been patiently waiting for Judge Harlun’s decision expect it within a few days; are confident, from the testi- mony offered at the trial, that it must be made in their favor, and are free buyers of the stock upon this supposition. A decision in favor of the company would require a paying over of some twenty-cight per cent of back interest by the Pennsylvania Railroad upon outstanding bonds, and should tayorably effect the valucs of both bonds and stock. The share market, which had shown Sam- sonian strength up to two o'clock, began to yield at that time, and subsequently turned a complete som- ersault. The paramount and pernicious influence which brought aboat the decline was traced'to the Gold Room. In a desperate ‘attempt to break the share market Gould appeared as a buyer of gold at 100%, —his intention being to squeeze money and break stocks. This is a pretty dirty sort of business for an individual, but it is dirtier yet for the National Bank, which is helping him, if there is any sort of credence to be lent to street reports. A malcontent of the Gould dessription who deliberately endeavors to thwart the execution of the nation’s will, as ex- pressed in the act of resumption, merits a short shift, if not a merry one, and in most other countries. he would get it. The opening, highest, lowest and closing prices of stocks and gold at the New York Stock Exchange were as followe:-— ‘ent. of New Jersey .. 295 Kansas and Texas... 67% Itinois Contral Lake Shore.
