BREACH OF ORDINANCE.-It is too prevalent
custom for drivers of carts and drays TO drive
close to one another while passing along the
streets, especially in those thoro1ghfares In
which car'tracks are laid. 1t is almost impos.
slble at some OF the crossings to pass, owing to
this practice. Most of the Jehus are not aware
that they are violating the law; If they are they
pay no respect to the DEGREES OF the Legislature.
Frequent arrests are made of offending parties
but this does not tend to abate the nuisance
for nuisance 1t is. Imagine man in a terrible
hurry to catch train-only five minutes to
bno COneS 10 u CROSSING, ana
finds a long line OF drays and carts so close
to each other that the nose of the horse
touches the tailboard of the wagon in front.
He may be apt to indulge in the use of language
not polite, but very expressive; but of what
avail is II? He is compelled to remain stand
Ing until the vehicles pass, or go square out
of the way, and thus misses the train. The at
tempts of the policemen to prevent close drlv-
ing are of little avail: the craniums OF the
drivers are either 80 thick that they cannot
understand what is told them. or they have an
utter Indifference for law or good order. At
Third and Chestnut this nuisance is carried on to
an unlimited extent, as many as four arrests in
day have been made there. Every one ar
rested pleads entire ignorance of the law. They
are fined, and in default of the amount are
committed to prison. 1t would be we'll for those
who are possessed of horses and carts, and those
who employ men to drive them to caution
them in regard to the matter. In this way and
thus only, can the nuisance be abated.

colored man, was arrested at Seventh and Ship
