The Yorkvillc Horror.

Although there is nothing, from present
accounts, to indicate that the horrible spec
tacle Of the decomposed and mutilated re-
mains of woman, discovered on Sunday
morning in a house at Yorkville, was caused
by violence, yet the conduct of the health
authorities, after the discovery had been made,
calls for the severest censure. There is little
if any mystery about the death Of the woman.
An aged spinster, Of rather eccentric habits.
occupied O house alone and died in it, with
out any person being aware of her death.
Her remains became the prey of vermin and
the offensive odor proceeding from them was
the first indication to the adjoining neigh
bors that anything was wrong in the house of
the recluse. The proper authorities were
notified on Sunday, after the discovery
Of the body was made, and yet
they took no measures to remove
it until yesterday morning, leaving the hor-
rible remains to faint and alright the neigh
borhood for more than eighteen hours. Such
criminal negligence calls for unstinted re-
proof, and Is disgrace to those concerned in
it. In the general eagerness for reform and
change which pervades our city government
at present there should be some attention
directed towards the authorities responsible
for this last outrage The circumstances Of
the death are revolving enough without being
intensified by criminal neglect. There is not
the slightest excuse for leaving the body Of
this woman so long after it was discovered, in
the midst Of crowded neighborhood, without
taking measures for its removal In weather
ike Il The 3 present such neighbor would be-
sufficient to create pesilence We hope
that an investigation will be made into this
disgraceful affair, and that the responsible
parties will be held up to public censure, if
not punishment

Tho Shah's Progress-How He VIII
be compressed" BY His European
Tour.
The Shah of Persia, in turning to the east
ward, it is given out will not visit the capital
of Austria, in consequence of reports which
have reached him Of the prevalence of cholera
there. 1t is probable, however, that as his
presence at Vienna would be great card for
the International Exposition, every effort will
be made to secure him, and he may, too, be
persuaded by the wishes of the Emperor and
the attractions of the Fair to honor the House
of Hapsburg with friendly call. Otherwise
he will probably pass from France, via the
Alps and the Mont Gents tunnel, into Italy, and
thence to Constantinople, where, doubtless,
he will be given regular royal Oriental re-
caption. Thence the Sultan will probably in
sist upon the honor of conveying the liking
of Kings" and his numerous attendants by
feet of war steamers to Trebizond, on the
Black Sea, and thence upon the pleasure Of
escorting him through the intervening Turkish
dominion in Asia to the border Of Persia.
Nor would it be surprising if, on this pleasing
duty of hospitality, the Sultan were to accom-
pany his royal friend and brother TO the Per-
sian frontier. 81. = -
Meantime, having been welcomed by the
beautiful city of Paris as by bride in her
wedding garments the Shah appears to enjoy
the Inequalities Of the gay Parisians as some
thing nearer tho Oriental style than the mill
tary show Of st. Petersburg, the glitter of
Benz, the enthusiasm of Mark Twain, or
the thunos-s of the iron-clad squadron of
England. Hs xill doubtless return to Te-
