There Is no peace for the sidewalk merchants
who have clustered In the vicinity OF Washington
Market. Those who had stands Joined to the mar
ket and those whose sheds covered the cutters IN
the adjacent streets have already been evcted
and their structures demolished by the sanitary
officers. Now has come the turn OF all
who occupy the sidewalks along all the
streets In that vicinity. Yesterday Police
Captain John williamson personally warned
all dealers he found obstructing or occupying the
side ak that they must ciear the trackr by noon
to-day or they will be removed by The police.
This notice Is the occasion OF piteOus COM
plants Of c0ursei but as these dealers pay
no rent to the city they lack that element
OF tho list OF hardships alleged by the
washington and Fulton Market dealers whose
places OF trade have been destroyed, though they
held city permits and paid rent. This afternoon
will oil the walks cleared ana the dealers must
look elsewhere for locations In which to prosecute
their commerce.

Captain Kettleman, the Clerk OF Washington
Market yesterday received note from the Market
Superintendent enclosing Colonel De Woes check

OF those who have suffered most In consequence OF
the removal OF the stands; also, 50 80 from the
Board OF Health, which In the confusion OF the
night raid on the sheds was taken by member Of
the Sanitary Corps from the desk of some
dealer, probably Davis h McQuade. This
money was transmitted by the person who found
1t, through DR.. Day, Sanitary Inspector for return
to its owner. Several dealers have stated that
they had sums lost or stolen on that occasion in
currency or coin. though the amount In none Of
them was large.
FALLING OFF IN TRADE.
Market men both next the walk and within the
body OF Washington Market assert that they find
decided falling or OF business during the week,
which they charge to the destruction OF the booths
by the Board OF Health and the impression tie pub
lie have mbibed that portion OF the market itself
has been removed. Still the streets and cutters
near the market, which are badly broken and un-
even In their surface, are Uttered by droppings
from the country market wagons which congre-

plainly enough to oil passers by that her, is yet

vesey street pavement, OF cobbe stones, must lie
replaced by trap blocks before it can possibly be
kept clean, and Fulton street needs very extern

for gas and water or connections with the sewer.
NUIsANCEs IN WEST WASHINGTON MARKET.
The wholesale market between West street and
the river stands On what Is called made ground.
City people know what that means, the gathering
and mixture OF ashes street dirt, sand, oyster
shells, supernuous earth from cellar digging

neOus collection OF buildings forming the wholesale
tween these buildings are formed by laying pIanks
upon this mixed SOIL AS the planks become worn
thin they spring beneath loaded truck and form
depresSiOnB, in which rain collects. This under con-
slant agitation and pressure, makes with the fifth

Vehicle and tainting the air with pungent odor
not aromatic. Many OF these eye5ores and nose
publishers are to be found here after every rain.
Some effort appears to be made to prevent their
formation or to hide them by new panking, but
this Is far from general and a man OF sensitive
stomach would do Wen not to take pleasure walks
