Some ttCctre hundred persons being
drawn before twelve jUrymen could
be found for the Foster murder trial ,
recently held in New York, the New

were few newspapers, and those
limited III circulation. Now every

or other current literature, aud in

Ut the jurors might dislike the ar

Unusual crop of criminals, the de-

Cautions should lie adopted TO prevent

ought to be deprived of all ne@spa'

Iron Mask. The detained persons
might occasionally object 10 these
gentle repressive measures, but OF

SANITARY.-Our citizens gener ally complain
loudly of the present sanitary condition of the
city, and assert that never before has it been in
50 much need Of a thorough cleansing The
streets and alleys reek with filth Of al kinds
and the opinion is unanimous among medical
men that the town is ripe for pestilence. Every
summer heretofore the police have attended 70
disinfecting the filth of the cutters with lime
but this year nothing whatever has been done TO
secure our citizens from epidemics. One
source of complaint Is the numerous pig-styes
many of them in the heart of the town. which
daily and nightly fill the atmosphere with MAS
matte poison. General indignat on is felt at
this state of affairs, and it is hoped that the
Board of Health VIII take early action to re-
move all just grounds of complaint.
SEVERE ACCIDENT TO Col. JoNEs.-Yester-
day afternoon, while Col Frank Jones, ,presi-
dent of the Potomac Boat Club, with several

boat, striking his side and ankle. He was at
once removed to his residence, corner of Con-
gress and West streeb, where DIR. A. Peter was
called In and the necessary remedies applied
fine Col. Jones to his house some days, but is OF
the opinion that no bones were broken by the
