TEE BoxDsxEN OF THE ADMINISTRATOR ON Kos
cIusKo's EsrATE.-on the day before yesterday, we
took occasion to mention that those who were on
the go 600 bond of Col. BOmford as administrator
of the estate of the late Gen. Koscusko had been re
paid the several sums they had been forcedto make
good by the decision Of the great KOscuss os estate
case, detRTmined by the Supreme Court not long
since. We have since learned that the bondsmen
on the original boad given by Colonel BOmfoId as
hosciusko's administrator, have not been so repaid
ioI The money they were forced 10 pay in the same
way. They are Messrs. Samuel Stott and James
Carrico, The first named having paid 80 00O and the
other little more than that sum. 1t so happened
that those on the 900 (second) bond took tn,
precaution TO obtain collateral securt, on the prom
erty OF Col. Bomford, and they have been paid only
through the prudent management of that propert, by
j. q. H. Smith, Col. BemfOrd's administrator The
depfeciation OF the value of the CoIonel's facro
property (n Georgetown) and the Destruction of hi
valuable mill by fire, together greatly Iessrned the
saIue OF tne estate which he left. Had he lived
lew years longer, his we'll known energy and CAM
tii business qualities would have surely enabled
a. N 20 repay Messrs Stou and Carrico who are so
hcaSy losers by going on his original admit ista
tors bond
DANsERs or THE NIGHT.-Under this head we
may notice, as pertinent to the fact, that Mr.. VIM
O'Suilivan, who had his leg broken on Sixth street,
the other night will have to be removed TO the In
Urinary, II Is thought by his friends, so as 10 receive
tie necessary surgical attention to his injuries The
accident did not occur from FILLING IN sewer as
reported, but was caused by falling over some gas
pipe, carelessy left the side walk which ripped
nm up IN the dark, and thus produced this serits
result He was walking with friend when he Tell,
and we understand thar Captain Birch, OF the Aux
mary 1uaro VINO Is always en- hand, came to his
sistance, and with the friend procured hack TO
take him home. Mr.. O'Sullivan Is hard wor king
nonest mechanic, supporting himself and sister by
tne sweat OF his brow" and thus this accident falls
heaNy upon nun. The Corporation will no doubt
answer Tor the Injuries done by neglect of their of
hcers to have the laws endorsed in regard TO ob,ruc
tons In the Streets The fact is that with the had
light OF the streets off the main avenue the sewers
Ielt open, the distractions ON the pavements and
sueets IL Ii wonder that more accidents do no. Oc-
r. People will have to carry lamps at night, ii
something Is not done to remedy the evil.
