From The N. Y. Tribune, 9Th, Y
Hoo FATTENINa IN GorHAM-DIsGusrINd s
DIsoLosUREs.-In the vicinity of that portion !
of Manhattan Island which has been appointed
Tor the laying out of the Central Park, there
are number of establishments where swine
are reared, aud from which they are taken to
1 be sold in the New York markets. 1t beeom-
ing evident to some parties that these places
were not kept In proper manner, Lieut.: John
N. Bennett Of the Third Ward Police, with six
of his men and three Of the Health Wardens,
paid visit to these establishments on Thurs
day last, for the purpose OF examining them.
/ The first one that was erected, and the ono
at which the most disgusting scenes were en-
acted, was the pggery located to the east OF
Broadway, In fitty-ninth street, and owned by
one Charles Oberlander. This man raises a
large number of hogs every year TO. the mark
ct, and has been for long time engaged IN
that business. But the manner in which he |
does it is disgraceful in the very last degree
1t is di sgraceful to the man himself, and dis
. graceful to the City of New York Upon an
examination Of his premises, some OF the most
disgusting sights were witnessed. The law
states that only four pigs shall be allowed on
one lot, while this man had more than one hun
bred in pen which measured about hlty by
one hundred feet. A heap of rubbish, which
! had been covered by 0berlander's wife when
: she espied the officer, was found to contain
!, large quantities o: the intestines OF animals
: mixed up with other masses of rutrid matter
7 After this WAS examined, the Captain and his
= men went all around the premises, and every
y, where they went they found bones of all kinds,
u the carcasses Of dead dogs, pigs and cats, cut
: up in pieces for the pigs to eat. There were
~ also dead rats in abundance. Upon examining
ia more infinitely everything that was seen on the
ground, it was ascertained that rags with dried
WI poultces upon them were among the lot. All
kinds of filth and garbage was mixed up togeth-
'oe er with them. The wife of this man, when
nv, nv she was sharply questioned, reluctantly
~. confessed that all these things were given to
70 the pigs to eat, and that they were fed upon
vi nothing else than this kind OF stuff, and sucl
H.. other garbage as can be gathered throug heut
ny the city. She said that her husband was paid
:" to take away from the City Hospital all the of
-. fa that is to be found in that place, and that
es' he removes at least one load every day. This
-, o1al is composed OF all kinds OF matter. II
ha' was found o contain the beds that were unfit
W to be kept in the hospital, from having been
70 used by the worst patients, and containing dan
10 gerous and contagious diseases, all the old
A., clothes that have benn used by the physicians
~ and students, and the rags upon which the
p poultices were placed. Then there was all
~ the other filth and offal of the Hospital in adj
ns dition to these, all mixed together.
W Oberlander, upon being asked what he did
-. with the beds and rags which he carried away
uo from the New York Hospital, said that he emp
- tied out the straw for the pigs to lie on, and
he then sold the ticks for making paper. The
o rags also, after the swine had eaten, were wash
% ed and sold for the same purpose.
" Much time was spent in examining these
AZ | premises, offensive as thew proved to be-
vi An examination of several other places was
~, ~ made after these facts had been Developed.
20 Particular inquiry was made for the purpose
"a of ascertaining whether any other parties
~ brought from the New York Hospital, but, as
n ass far as could be learned, oberlander was the
~ only one
~ The officer, his men and the Health Ward
W. ems next proc eeded to an establishment kept
~, for the same purpose by man whose name is
~ Thomas Carman. 1t is located in Fiity-ninth
~ street, not far from the Sixth avenue. He had
twenty dogs that were procured in various
parts of the city, from the streets and ash bar
"a rels in front of the dwelling houses. He keeps
~ about seventy pigs which he feeds on these
ue materials. Connected with his piggery is Q
| place for boiling particular kinds Of the OLA
ue' which he collects. lie was hard at work a
~ this boiling business when tho company reach
AiN' ed his premises. lie was asked Tor what pur
:. pose he was boiling it, when he replied tina
70 he sold the fat for tallow, and then fed his
ny ny inals on whatever was remaining.
nus They then went to the pggery of James NJ
'NiSe Cornack, in Fifty ninth street, not far fro
Carman's place of business. Here they 50
eyes, number OF dead dogs and dead pigs, viii
these were given as food for the live hogs. All kin
with Sbieh ,yaro in an nvcondinoiv dirtv stntn
'i' al The Tribune gives nearly a column more
-, similar cases. Surely the Jews, particular
ieei- tue New York Israelites, can scarcely
) WIN blamed for refusing to eat hog meat; and
Gothamite, who, after reading such discl
ne in ures, feels qualmish about indugng in
II IS accustomed dish Of fresh pork, has &c
peeh grounds for his squemishness.
