genuity with which some Old, dilapidated
people will master difficult situation was most
delightful to witness. Two old veterans of Napo-
leon were living in Holland; they lived on farm.
One was One-armed, the other was one-legged
Well. the one who had one leg dug the hole with

into it. (Applause.) No man ever became master
OF the situation by mere accident. Ibelieve, with

TIE AVALANCHE OF DEATH.
A BOY of Sixteen Crushed Under Mass

A BOY of Sixteen Crushed Under Mass
Of Ice and Snow Falling from Roof.
Washington Andrews boy Of sixteen, was
struck yesterday afternoon by mass OF snow and
ice falling from the roof OF No. "a Broad street.
The boy Will probably never recover from the Sc
we're injuries he received He was employed as
clerk by Osgood & Co., 2G Broad street. His father
Joseph @. Andrews, resides at 116 West Forty
seventh street. Andrews, who is a remarkably
handsome lad, was just coming out Of the office Of
Osgood Co. when the block OF Ice fell upon his
head. He had just been to luncheon with some
friends, and when they parted from him In the
ONCE of Osgood & Co. he said, 'T'll be back in a
few seconds" One OF these friends was looking
out of the window and saw Andrews pass. The
block of ice-which must have weighed fifty
pounds-struck him on one side OF the head and
knocked him ten feet into the roadway. The
forehead, and the blood rained down from them
and filled his eyes. His face was black and his lips
had the hue OF death. His eyes, which were
out Of their sockets; they seemed to start out OF
his head. There was but spark Of life lett. After
of Osgood Co.. where DR.. Moore, OF the Astor
House, attended him and by external applications
restored respiration. The. doctor found that the
skull had escaped without any injury The boy
was suffering from conclusion OF the brain. lie re-
manned unconscious for hours, breathing heavily,
and his whole frame CONFUSED with pam.
Mr.. Prince, OF Osgood Co., says that he gave
Mr.. Schleder notice q week ago to remove the
snow from the roof and that the latter promised to
do so.
At twelve O'Clock last night DR.. Amabile, OF the
Park Hospital, whittier the young man had been re.
moved, told HERALD reporter that Andrews had
but little chance OF recovering. Death Will proba-
bly, from compression OF the brain. The boys
mother came last evening 10 the hospital. She
wrung her hands and moaned as she saw
tile CHASTITY face of her son. He could not recog-
nize her, but vacantly stared at her.. His eyes
were completely paralyZed, the sense OF sight was
completely destroyed. He remained unconscious
under his mothers afrecti0nate kisses, and Will
probably not regain consciousness. The sad duty
OF parting forever from his beloved mother viii be
spared him.

There has been little trouble at the City Hall

furniture in the Office, and yesterday morning
when the Tax Collector reached his office lie

The strcet-Cleaning Contract.

The Board Of City Works has given the contract
for cleaning the streets Of Brooklyn to the Scrim
shaw Paving Company, Notwithstanding the
charges are greatly in excess OF the amount Of
other responsible contractors. There are some
doubts as to whether this contract is valid. The
Comptroller thinks it is not, and bases his opinion
on the following clause OF the city charter :-"No
contract or agreement for any purpose involving
the payment OF any money shall be valid or bind
Ing against said city unless the Comptroller shall
certify or endorse on such contract or agreement
that the moneys required to be paid by such con-

Comptroller proposes to look into the ma before

The superheated steam question is still raging
1ercely among the engineers, chemists and patent
heated steam apparatus men OF the city. And. as
seems inevitable with every matter In which
scientific truth IL involved, there is in the concu
sons, If not in the principles upon which they are
based,a charming variety of opinions, as they are
ceored by the prejudices, or. perhaps, even the
pecuniary and vested interests Of the parties inter-
ested.
The HERALD reporter again set out on

MUSICAL AND THEATRICAL NOTES.

Mr.. Byron has arranged to supply Mrs. John
Wood and Mr.. ]. X. Emmett with comedy and
character play respectively.
Mr.. J. NJ. Bellew makes his first appearance In
Philadelphia in the Academy Of Music on Monday
next and in the Boston Music Hall on the Friday

cal Library, taking patchwork" as her subject.
The lecturer seeks to strike out In new path and
to embody something OF q sensational story In
medley OF anecdote, gossip and humor The
EFFORT will have at least the recommendation Of
novelty. .str
The interdict which prevented the production OF
sardou's "L'Onclc sam" in Paris, because 1t is an
outrageous travesty on American manners and
society, does not prevent the play from being
brought out here. Frcnchmen in America are
generally az ridiculous as the most iudicrous
American in France, and, like "Our American
Cousin the satire Of the piece may revert upon
those who tried to satirize others. A French Lord
Dundreary would be very funny.
The play at the Germania Theatre for the present
is Fernando" with Miss Schroeder in the title
part She does not exhibit the intensity OF emo
ton which Miss Ethel brought to the part, but
plays 1t with fidelity that is praiseworthy.
Madame Witt. as Clotilde, exhibits many strong
points, showing herself an actress Of very superior
merit. Mr.. Scherenberg, a. Pomerol, and Mr.
Sinike, as Andre, play the parts exceedingly we'll
but with little too much exuberance. "Fernande'
Is, perhaps, too light pieoe for the German tongue

and sprightly Georgette Of Miss schafer 70 espe
