The Sanitary Committee Of the Board of
Health paid an official visit yesterday to
Alaska, Baker, Spafford, and st. Mary streets,
and the surrounding courts and alleys, for the
purpose of ascertaining the condition of this
locality, in order TO adopt such measures as
will secure the health of the residents and
prevent any contagious disease from breaking
out. The committee found much abiect

have the wells cleaned and the houses white
washed.

Flower street, has been arrested and COM
mitted by Alderman Bonsall on the charge of
committing an assault upon II. M. Shisler, a
gardener, residing on Moyamensing road,
near Buck road. Mr. Shisler alleges that
Watts has been employed by him for some
months, and on Saturday evening dispute
arose respecting some money, when Watts
seized large fork and ran at him, plunging
it in his neck, piercing the windpipe, causing
three serious wounds in the neck.
Mr.. Jacob Binder, the President OF the
Second and Third Streets Railway, received
painful though not serious injury yesterday
afternoon. He got aboard the Washington
through train at New Brunswick, N. j.
Upon approaching Frankford Mr. Binder
jumped from the train, but its velocity was
so great that he was thrown upon the track.
Happily he made his Jump from the rear ear,
or more serious results might have followed.
As it was his forehead was badly confused
and his lips were both cut through, beside
being considerably bruised about the body.
After being removed to his residence at No.
922 Marshall street, his wounds were dressed
by DR.. Lewis.
Last night about half-past II o'clock the
Coroner was notified to hold an inquest on
the body of Margaret Connell, sixty years of
age, who was found dead on the stairs of her
residence, Washington street, above Nipple,
Manayunk. 1t was thought that death was
the result of apoplexy.
The property holders on Darby avenue,
or Woodland street, upon which public lamps
have been placed, have been notified of the
passage of an ordinance requiring them to
grade, curb, and pave the sidewalks upon
both sides of said street from the city line to
Thirty-ninth street, within thirty days.
