‘ J * well'’s Island, from the 18th of 11 “ dudgo Lawrenco yes! THE COURTS. The Bill of Exceptions in the Case of William Poole Snd Joseph Font. LUXURY OF THE LAW.,: Benefit of a Legal Technicality to an Old Soldier. . On the 7th of November, 1877, William Poole and Joseph Font were convicted in the Court of General Sessions of murder in the second degree for having killed John Ryan in April proceding, and were sen- tenced to State Prison ior life. Their counsel, Mr, William F, Howe, kind of test case, sued out a writ of error and stay of proceedings and had them kept at the Tombs. He did not, however, sneceed in having their bill of exceptions signed, and applied to Judge Van Brunt last August for a mandamns com- pelling the court in which the conviction was secured to sign the bill, It was then held that the statute required the bill of exceptions in all criminal cases to bo signed within ten days, From this de- cision an eppeal was taken to the General Term of the Supreme Court, and when the matter came up in this court, yesterday, Mr, Howe said that the poverty of the prisoners alone prevented their obtaining (he bill of exceptions in statutory time, but that justice demanded a review of their case. District Attorney Phelps in opposition said that the witnesses were now scattered, and it was important in point of prac- tice that prisoners should not be allowed to delay their appeals aud then on caprice bring them upto suit themselves. Judge Brady, after conierence with his associates, said they were of opinion the writ of mandamus directing the signing of the bill of ex- ceptions should issue, but that the case must be argued next term, and if any witnesses were absent their testimony, as given on the trial, should bo reud, He took occasion in this connection also to announce that for the fature criminal lawyers must have their bills of exceptions settled within statu- tory time or, apply for an extension. On the dispo- sition made*ot their case being communicated to the prisoners they were highly elated, ‘Their con- duct at the Tombs since their incarceration is said to-have been very excellent and to have won them hosts of sympathizing friends. LAW AN EXPENSIVE LUXURY. ‘The saying that “Law is like 9 sieve; you may seo through it, but one must be considerably reduced before he gets through it,”” has been well exemplified by a recent decision of the Court of App in the case of Rathburn against the Citizens’ Steamboat Company, of ‘Troy. It appears that the plaintiff con- signod a package to R.A. Van Alstino, Troy, N. ¥., marked “0. O. D., $94 28," which the defendants, as common carricrs, delivered. to the consignee upon receiving his uncertified check upon a bank in Troy for the required amount. This check the carrier de- livered to the consignors upon the arrival of the boat at New York.’ Tho consignors accepted the check and deposited it in their bank. It was sent to ‘Troy and came back prothsted, whereupon the con- signors brought suit in the New York Marine Court to hold the carrier for theamount. Judge McAdam, before whom the case was tried, in an opinion filed by him, decided that, although the carrier had no right to receive the consignee’s uncertified check, yet the consignor could not recover, because, by the act of accepting the check and depositing it in his bank, the consignor had fied the car- rier’s unauthorized act to the extent of making it his own, and judgment was accordingly given in favor of the carrier, This judgment was reversed on appeal by the General Term of tho Marine Court, who were, in turn, reversed upon a further appeal by the Common Pleas, General ‘term, The plained. being still dissatisfied, obtained leave to take the case to the Court of Appeals, which tribunal has now affirmed Judge McAdam and the Common Pleas, and the plaintif, by his persistent effort to regain his lost $94 28, has bgen muicted in costs and court expenses, ambunting to $750, and doubficss now realizes pensive luxury. AN OLD SOLDIER’S LETTER. Peter Welch, who served in one of the New York rogiments during the late rebellion, and was wounded so badly that he was unable to provide a living for himself and wife, and who received from a grateful republic the munificent sum of $12 pension a month, has becr-until yesterday in the Worghouse on Black- November. At the instance of lils wife he was arraigned before Police Justice Murray, charged with abandonment, He was ordered to pay his wife $2. week for her be and to furnish bail in $300 for the faithful fulfilment of t! order of the Court. Welch could not furnish the required security, and, like an ordinary thief, was jammed into the Black Maria and hurried to Blackwell's Island. On arrival some one advised him to write to Mr. William F, Fintzing, the lawyer, and discover, if possible, whether he had really been sentenco:l to imprisonment for life. On Wednesday last, as already reported, Mr. Rintzing went before Judge Lawrence, in Supreme Court, Chambers, end obtained a writ of habeas cor- pus in bebalf of Welch. Upon this writ Welch was brought from Blackwell's Island yesterday betore Judge Lawrence. lr. William A.-Boyd, the Uorporation Atforney, represented the Department of Charities and Correcti#n, and opposed the dis- charge of Welch. Mr. Kintzing claimed that the commitment of the Police Justice was void snd th deten@on of the prisoner illegal, He called the tention of the Court to the fact that in ail summary convictions before police justices the record of con- viction should be filed prior to or contemporaneously with the issuing of the commitment. in this case the commitment was made upon the 18th of Novem- ber, and the record of conviction was not filed until two daysiater, Judge Lawrence said that the point was well taken, and promptly discharged the pris- oner. » THE CONFIDING WIDOW BOWMAN. Mary Bowman has seven suits pending in the courts against Androw D, Purtell to recover, in the aggregate, $54,100, This indebteIness, according to plaintiff's story, already partially told inthe Henan, was, a8 will be remembered, the result of a degree of unsuspecting confidence on her part apparently somewhat exceptional in this wido-awako s,eneration. that law is sometimes an ex- The truth of the plaintiff's allegations the’ defend. | ant denies, and he says he has never borrowed or converted any of plaintiif’s mouey or property, Orders gf arrest were granted, on which the de- fendaut * was held to bail in the gross sun: of $42,000, but these orders wero sub- sequently set ‘aside “by the Court on mo- tion, Five of these actions arc those pénding in. the latter Court a motion was argnod before Judge Me Ada: ‘terday for an order mt of arrest against the defendant. Mr, D. 8. Riddle ap- | pearing for the plaintiff and Mr. Jacob Fromine for the defendant. In the affidavits used-on the motion itappeared that one of the bondsmen on the bond on which the order’ of arrest was asked for was “Doctor” William B, Parker, who, it is aileged, ia living in the same house with the plaintiff at No, 209 Madison avenue in this city, of which plaintiff ad- mits having given him a deed for the consideration of $5. This property was exchanged for property which the plaintiff owned in Sullivan county. “In arguing against the motion for an order of arrest counsel for the defendant prononneed the circumstances under which the plaintiff asserts she parted with the money and securities for which she snes incredible. ‘The parties did, he said, probably yo “crnising’® about the country; spending money sotnowhat freely, Dut whatever wax spent was spent by them jointly, for which defendant could not be held responsible, and that no such sums as those alleyed by plaintitt could have passed between the parties. At the con- clusion of the argument Judge McAdam took the papers, reserving his decision on the motion, SUMMARY OF LAW CASES, A motion, it is stated, will be mado to-day before Judge Lawrence, in Suprome Court, Chambers, to confirm the report of ex-Judgo Barbour in the Cooper-Marshall caso, the facts of which have been published, The Adelphi explosion case, on trial before Judge Barrett, was yesterday finished o far as the evi- dene ‘was concerned, This morning counsel will sum up, Me.

THE VAGAEOND GENTRY SUBMIT TO THE OPERA- TION WITH PHILOSOPHIO RESIGNATION. About this season of the year the vaccinating corps of the, Health Department sally out of an evening and yisit the yarious police station houses of the city to vaccinate the casual lodgers that may be found on the premises, Asa rule these lodgers are tramps of the most rakish kind, and it is the opinion of the authorities of the Health Department that they carry about with them the fruitful seedsof smallpox. It is thought a wise provision to submit them to the application of vaccine and render them harmless for contagion in their travels and contact with people in and outside the efty. Ten doctors, or, as they are called, assistant sanitary inspectors, started out Inst evening about eight o’clock to vaccinate the lodgers ih some of the principal downfown stations—tho Ouk, Eldridge, Mercer, Mulberry street and other pre- cincts. In some precincts they admit no lodgers till after six o'clock, in others none till alter eight, sand then they keep on adinitting them till one ‘o'clock inthe morning. ‘The doctor on entering a station house goes behind the sergeant’s desk and au officer is detailed to bring up each lodger to undergo vaccination.. He comes as a rule very quietly aud submits to.the procoss, which is very briet and sim- ple, without murmuring. At the Mercer street «fa- tion last evening there were some sixty tramps (“the gentry of this country, by jiminy,” as the ser- eant remarked) present whon the assistant sanitary fepector entered. «What’s your namo?” asked tho officer to the first man ho met in the tramps’ parlor “Luke Mulcahy,” was the answer. “Well, como, Luke,” raid the ofiicer, in an off-hand, pleasant way, “come up to the doctor aud get yourself amputated for the smallpox. You look as if you were running all over with it.” Tuke, with a gentle shove, was hastened on his way to the doctor, and, having bared his arm with a visible trembling of the muscles, was vaccinated and sent dn his way back in the brief space of two min- utes. ‘The ofiicer again invaded the sumptuous qnar- ters of the tramps and sung out to the nearest oue to hand, “What's your name ?” “Mike Collins,” was the reply. “Well, Mike,” continned the officer, “hurry up and get the pizen taken out 0” ye.” “You mane the whiskey?” responded Mike, “Yea, the whiskey,” returned the officer, “an’ all T don’t care if Ido if he don’t * and Mike was duly operated on and sent back rejoicing. “Come up here, Mrs. Simmons,” eried the officer, addressing himecif to a very seedy looking woman; nme up here to the doctor till he sees how ye are.” “I don’t want to see him,” replied Mrs. Simmons. “But you may have the smallpox,” retorted the officer, * “Divil a hair I care,” answered the bold female | tramp; “it’s well to have anything these hard tiny | “Well, you may stay where you are,” said the oMf- | | | cer, “and when you get the smallpox you may think different.” And thus it went og through the evenin sevoral downtown sfatious, an occasional protest againat being vaccinated being made, but asa rule the tramps realized that vaccination had » something good in it and yaye them a longer lease of life in their predatory raid on industrial peoplo, The male tramps were amenable enough to the doctors, but the female ones were a tough lot to manage, About three hundred tramps were vaccinated last evening. BABY BROWN'S ADVENTURES. The door bell of the Sheltering Arms Nursery, No. 157 Dean street, Brooklyn, was rung violently at a lato hour on Wednesday night last. The sam- mons was responded to promptly by oue of the do- mestics of that institution, a young woman named Kate. Onopening the door the servant was about to close it again, suppoajng that it was “a runaway ring,” but on glancing down she saw @ small white object cn the stops, which she hastened to pick up. Finding that she had picked up on infant Kate ran into the ma tron’s room, exclaiming, “Oh! Mrs. Hardie, seo here! Whatashame! Somebody has abandoned a baby.” The matron, Mrs, Hardie, took the little wait, who proved to be a plump, bright, blue-eyed, deautitul boy, iu her arms, and discovered attached | to tho long white dress of the foundling # card, on one side of which was written, in a good round busi- ness hand, the Collowihg:—“I am Henry L. Brown, and sadly in need of 2 Christian hoine, rn March Ml, 1879." On the reverse of the card was tho ad- dross, ‘Mrs. Hardie, Matron, Sheltering Arms.” As it is not the custom of the matron to receive foundlings at that institution Mrs. Hardie sent Kate with the infant to the rectory of St, Peter's Protes- tant Episcopal Church, on State street, for imstruc- tions from Mrs. Paddock, wife of the rector of that church, the lady named being the President of the Sheltering Arms. Mrs. Paddock told the girl to keep tho child until the morning and then notify the police of the occurrence. The young womay, while on her bay bee the rectory, noticed two men who ap- Es to be watching and following her. When she Mrs. Padtock's house, carrying — the waif under her shawl, sho was alarmed upon seeing one of the two mysterious in- dividuals whom she ‘had previously observed, approaching her. ‘The man walked wp by her side, and keeping pace with her hurried steps, accosted Kate, gs ia! ol are you going to do with that chila?’’ “How do you know that Ihave a child?” tyrtly responded the girl, as she clung tightly to othfant. The man tejoined, saying, “fou hed bet- ter send it round to the police station house, or you will get in trouble if you keop it,” and, turning on his heel, he walked off and did not. in molest her. Yesterday Captain Leavy, of the itler Street po- lice station, was informed of the cironmatances nar- rated, and ho assigned Detective Roach to work up tho case, and, if pos#ible, obtvin a elew to the iden- tity of the two mysterious men and to the antoce- den ts of baby Brown, BROOKLYN THEATRE FIRE, The Brooklyn Theatre Fire Relief Association have finally wound up their affiirs and adjourned sine die, Thoy report that the whole amount of money received for the it of the sniferers from: the calamity of December 5, 1876, was $47,455 47.

MORE POLICE INCOMPETENCY, To rae Eprror or raz Hexavp:— On Saturday list a robbery occurred in my rooms, which was found out immediately afterward by some of my famfly and myself. I immepliately notified the captain or sergeant of my preciuct, the station horse being right around the corner from my house, and requested him to send some owe with me imme- diately, as I suspected the thieves were still in the house, whfch proved to be so, for soon after I saw a man come out of it with a bundle under his arm, accompanied by two others. I went around to the station house two or three times, but could get no one to come with me, and, althoagh this happened on Saturday afternoon, no one was sent or came until Sunday morning. I should be pleased to be informed if citizens are to be treated in this way and if their | rooms can be entered in their absence without any action by the police? If such things can take pluce then it is about time that the citizens saw to it that a change should be made in the best police force in the world, A CITIZEN, Mancut 18, 1879, CRUELTY TO CHITDLEN.

Have the Aldermen the Power to Grant tha Franchise? The question of authorizing the construction of a horse car railroad on Broadway was before the Com- mittee on Railroads of the Board of Aldermen yes- terday afternoon, The many applications that have been made from time to time for the franchiso were referred by, the City Fathers to either the Street Committee or the Committee on Railroads. It was intended that both of these committees should meet yesterday, but owing to some cause or other only the latter held a session, AU persons, however, irre- spective of the roads represented, were invited to speak, and so everybody obtained a hearing. The first resolutions on the subject of a railroad on Broadway wore introduced by President Mott at the request of @ number of gentlemen. By this measure it was proposed to give permission toJokn Sloan, Pierre Lorillard, Albert Gallatin Stevens, John Berry, J. Lawrence Worth, Audrew V. Stout, Law- rence Kip, William Jay, William Barton, John E. Brooks and their associates and assigns to operate, a railroad from the South ferry to Seventeenth strect and Broudway. Ono provision of the resolutions permitted the incorporators to run their cars “to and through Union square.” Mr, Mott's reso- lutions were submitted at the meeting of the Board held on February 13, At the next session Alderman Morris, noticing the fact that the proposed company offered only to give as a consideration of the grant five por cont of their gross receipts, presented a long series of preambles and rpso- lutions on the subject. ‘The tathors of Mr. Morris’ measure were August Belmont, William I. Appieton, Hezron A, Johnson, George J. Forrest, Zachariah Jaques “and their associates and assigns."* The ob- jectionable words “to and through Union square” thet appeared in President Mott's proposition were stricken out by Alderman Morris, and in their place were substituted “to and around Union square,” This company agreed to give five per cent of their gross receipts to the city; to Jeep the pavement be- tween their tracks and two fest outside in good re- pair; to romove the snow omethe carriageway of Broadway, between Bowling Green and Fourteenth street, within thirty-six hours after each fall of snow, and to sweep and keep clean the samo thoronghfare. Various penalties were imposed for non-compliance with these conditions, Although President Mott's, resolutions were sent to the Committee on Rail- roads Mr. Morris’ measure was referred to the Street Committee. On March 4 Mr. Morris introduced a lotter from Messrs. Belmont, Appleton. Johnson and their associates, by which they offered to relay the pavement on Broatway so as to make the grade of the street uniform. This was also sent to the Street Committee. The meeting of the Aldermen held on the llth inst. was the scene of the introduction of no less than four distinct and separate propositions in ref- erence to the proposed railway. Alderman Sauer wanted the privilege given to the Broadway and Seventh Avenue Railroad Company, because they already oceupicd the upper part of Broadway; Alder- man Haughton introduced resolutions giving the franchise to the Forty-second Street, Manhattanville and St. NitMolas Avenue Railway Comparty, while Mr. John B. Haskin, in a communication to the Common Council, wished to become possessed of the franchise in behalf of himself and Messrs. Robert B, Noonty, Washington Hadley, Jerome Buck, James O’Brien, Theodore E. Tomlinson, Robert E. Catherwood, James Phelan, George W.McLean, Henry G. Lynch, Abram B. Tappen, Robert McGinnis, Timothy Shea, Chauncey Schaffer, Thomas McLellan, Abel Crook, John B. Haskin, Jr., Frank E. Roden- berg, ‘ea A. Halsey, Ignatius Flynn, Vanderbilt Allen, Al, T. Ackert, Edward J. Creamer, John J, Blair and their associatess The first of these three measures was sent to the Committee on Railroads, the consideration of the other two being given to the Committee omStreets. At the same session of the Aldermen Mr. Roberts submitted resolutions b; which the franchise was to be put up at auction an disposed of to the highest bidder. The Street Com- mittee took charge of them. Alderman Morris, at the last mevting, held on Tuesday last, aleo presented resolutions on the subject. He wished to have the privilege given to the highest bidder. His measure also contuined a number of stipulations and agree- ments to be entered into by the successful bidder. ‘The offer of a geutieman to give $1,000,000 for the franchise, which was published in the HrnaLp some time since, ix too well known to need any comment, DISCUSSING THK VARIOUS PROJECTS. The committee consists of Aldermen R. Hall, Jacobus and Roberts. The session was held in the Aldermanic mecting chainder, and the room was well filled with persons interested in the different projects before the Common Council. Among those present were Messrs. John H. Strahan, Simeon E, Churck, John B. Haskin, Samuel B. Church, George H. Moore, John .B. Nooney, ex-Alderman Robert Me- Cpflerty and others. ‘ ‘Mr. George H. Nehrba -was the first speaker. He said that he was against the construction of a rail- road on Broadway, aud represented in his opposition the Central Taxpuyers’ Association. a railroad was necessary, but this argument, he thought, could not be successfully upheld, Why should a railroad be built on the only available street for commercial purposes in this city? If the road was constructed it would ruin business, and merchants would be compviled to move to other quarters. It was stated that business had gone to the upper part of the city; and why? Because the people bad moved uptown. They objected to the privilege being granted— Firsi—Because under the law no power on the sub- jevt is vested in the Common Council, Second—Because the privilege of the charter, which authorizes the Aldermen to have control over the We streets of the city in the matter of railroads, relates | only to existing railroads. Tird—That even this power over existing railway companies is limited to providing the rate of fare to be charged, the rate of speed to be used in travelling, and other matterr. Fourth—The Common Council has no power what- ever, either under the constitution or under the charter, to authorize a railroad on broadway. Fiyth--Under a law of 1854 itis provided that the common counéils of cities shall not permit railroads to be construeted in any ae without the cousent of a majority of property owners in interest along the proposed route. MR. MASKIN'S VIRWS. Mr. John B. Haskin appeared on behalt of the propesition witich he presented to the Aldermen some time since. Mr. Haskin said he took the ground that the city of New York should have full power and control over all the franchises in its gitt. Reshould operate a railroad on Broadway just the same ax the authorities controlled tho Croton Aque- duct or the Central Park and other public works. He gave a history of various efforts that had been mado from time to time by himselt and others to have franchises disposed of with the greatest benefit to the people. The way privileges were given away and had been given away in the past was a shame, The city was gory feeding cormorants, Mr. Haskin then continued his remarks by claim- ing that ho and his associates were more entitled to the privilege than cither August Belmont or Joho Sloane. He was not in favor of putting the franchise ‘up at auction, because who could bid against the son of @man who had accumulated over $100,000,000 ? If the franchise was yiven to him (Mr, Haskin) he would guarantee the completion of the road within three months, and would pay into the eity treasury $1,000,000 ten days after tho franchise had been awarded to him. If the city did not like to accept this pro] ition then he would offer another one, He would give to the city all the receipts of the road except ten per cent, which would be a fair rate of in- terest in these times. ‘The money would be paid promptly, through the bankers, Eugene Kelly & Co. Mr. Haskin thé went on to give # sketch of tho different tranchises enjoyed by the various railroad companies in this city. He referred to the fact that the Phird Avenue Road recently declared a dividend of thirty-two per cent, and claimed that the monop- olists had for years past controlled the State Logisiature, In conclusion, Mr. Haskin said that he would rather be a subject of Queen Victoria and live in Canada than live under a gover) vent in which monopolies ruled, ‘Mit. STRAMAN’S CLAIM. Mr. John I. Strahan, who, in company with Me. J. W. Forshay, the president of the Broadway oud Seventh Aventie Railroad Company, occupied seats in the Chamber, then made # few remarks in reter- ence to the claims of the last named road. Ho said that the company which he _ represented had not solicited the franchise, It had been thrust upon them, They had been compelled to take action in order to defend their property. He (Mr. Strahan) was not there to advise the Aldermen aa to their tT to grant the franchise, but he Ka oes it weuld be admitted that the eonsent of the Common Council was essential to authorize the construction and operation of the proposed road. Tho partics that wished the (ranchise proposed to rin their cars on tho tracks of the Broadway and Seventh Avente Company. The Aldermen could not authorize anything of They could not Tt was said that | ive the power to any outside corporation. Mr, Sianan then claimed that if the privilege was given to any new company a double rate of tare would be charged from the Battery to Central Purk. This would not be for the public interest. Ex-Alderman einer 4 and Mr. James J, Sewell then spoke on behalf of the Taxpayers’ Association. ‘The latter gentleman said that in his opiuion no more horse ruilroads should be authorized. They wae Sees the age. What was wanted wus rapid ‘THE FORTY-SECOND STREET ROAD, Mr, Simeon E. Church and Mr. Charles P. Shaw occupied the attention of the committee for some time in an argument in favor of the application of the Forty-second Street, Manhattanyille and St. Nicholas Avenue Railroad Company. Mr. Shaw said he had not examined thoroughly the question at issue, but he was of opinion that the road which he repre- sented could lay a track on Broadway even without the coysent of the Aldermen. ‘They had, however, determined to come to the Common Council and present their case. He thought that the road which gave the lon, ride for the least money was the most entitled to consideration, The Vorty-second street road would give a ride from the Battery to Kingsbridge dnd all for five cents. At some future session of the committee he would be prepared to argue ea to thi powers of the Board in the niatter. The committee then adjourned until Thursday next, at two P. M. The Committee on Streets, Alderman Steward, chairman, will meet to consider the same projects on Monday, at one P. M. HOMES FOR THE POOR. MEETING OF CAPITALISTS TO ORGANIZE A MODEL TENEMENT HOUSE COMPANY—A LIBERAL POLICY SKETCHED OUr, The subject of better homes for the pdor, not only 2s a means of the improvement of that class, but as a legitimate channel for investment and felds for commercial enterprise, is growing rapidly in popular favor, Yesterday afternoon a party of capi- talists ‘met at the oflice of Mr, James Talcott, Nos. 108 and 110 Frauklin street, for the purpose of discussing the subject and forming an orgenization. Amdéng the gentlemen present were Mr. James Scott, the im- porter, No. 28 White street; Mr. Henry E, Russeil, founder of the house of Russell, Irwin & Co., and Mr. Francis A, Palmer, President of the Broadway Bank. Each memiber of tho committee has pledged himself to subscribe $10,000 towards building fund, to be represented by stock to the same amount, Five plans of model tenement houses were sub- mitted by architects, and, although there was con- siderable discussion, no definite action was taken. Mr, James Talcott, during the course of the proceedings, gave expression to his views as fol- lows, and they were adopted as the sense of the meeting:—“There are half a million of people living in tenement houses on this island. Among these there are a large number of respectable men, women and children who long to,get out of.them; who dise like thoir surroundings, and have a certain ambition to rise socially, but who absolutely cannot get away—who have no place to go to. ‘These people are just the people we ought to keep in the city, as thoy st live near their business. I think it possible to have them housed in handsome buildings at about the same cost as they now pay in their wretched abodes, and to do ¢o it is necessary to take a radieal’ step—namely, to take them away from their surroundings. We know that on the Peabody estate in London the effect of putting up one of their buildings was to improve the health and morals of the district, as while the death rate in London is 4 in the 1,000 the death rate in the Peabody mansions is 16 iu the 1,000. It is perfectly true that while the Peabody houses bave been a great success they failed to attract in numbers any but the thrifty and orderly. But there is not a suit of rooms vacated but there are ten applicants. The city of Giusgow spent $8,000,000 in sweeping several acres of sluts off tho taco of the earth, and now splendid strects and squares are rising up on tho site, aud the strangest part is that in a tew years the increased rental will pay the entire cost. “Generations of good men and lewomen in Glasgow had died struggling to reform the wretched place, but never succeeded till by a su- preme effort it flashed into their heads to. sweep it off the face of the earth, r “We think a handsome suit of four rooms should be rented for $100 a year. The buildings should be within a few blocks of the Central Park. If all the mothers and children could reach the Park for only an hour daily it would add much to the health of the public. Our ideas are possibly a Jittie ahead of the times, bat we think we have a streng army at our back in the large mass who are in tenements and who want a way ont pointed out to them. Of course there are critiges who will point out weak spots, and we say to them, ‘Give us your counsel. We will hear what you " say and, perhaps, adopt your suguestions.’ We have no lots for @ale, no prejudices as to jJocation, and, although we have our ideas about the sort ot buildings required, we are willing to modify them if any one shows us a more excellent way. We wish to make the tenants part owners and propose, after paying five or six per cent on the actual cost, to divide a third of the protits among the tenants. Wealso think yreat injury is caused’ by the tenant andlandlord never seeing ‘each other. We propose that the tenauts elect one of the directors from among themselves, who would sit at the Board and be the mouthpiece of the tenants, It would pro- mote a fecling of independence to know that they had a direct interest in tue building.” The comwmit- tee will meet aguin at un early day to decide dedinitely on 4 plan for model tenements. AID FOR THE POOR. Mr. Ferdinand P. Earle, of this city, has made the arrangements for a new plan for the relief of the poor of the downtown wards. It has been arranged with responsible people to issue food, coal and wood on the presentation of relief tickets. The tickets are put up in’ packages of ten each, and will be sold by Mr. Earle at $1 a package to metchants and others who are averse to giving money: directiy | to applicants for charity. Dr. G. W. Holmes is tno physician of the new organization and Mr. Edward inton treasurer. THE PORTER RELINF FUND. At the recent meeting of the nmgmbers of the the- atrical profession to take action tor the relief of the family of B. C.
