Another Grumble About the Oaorlce
COHUn0mv.


Editor Star. After the most tedious Discus
sions on the part OF the Board OF Health on the
night soil question, II has assured the much
abused and suffering people OF this city that Ii
mas found at last . panaeea for all the OWLS aud
lnconveniences incident to the old system In the
Introduction OF the "Odoriess Night Soil Exca-
waiting Company" The sonorous and much
duced me, shortly after its Introduction, to
solicit its services on my premises. Its collector
arrived In due time, pocketed the fee and gave
MS receipt therefor. This happened four week
ago, and that was the last ever heard Of the
matter. have since requested their action in
this matter, but without success.
Don't you think. Mr.. Editor, IL would have
been better to retain our former system than to
become the victims OF a concern that, notwlth-
standing the company'e frequent assurances
that Il would be In complete working order In a

Editor Evening Star: I beg to call the attention
OF the Board of Health or other parties con-
cerntd, to the ineficiency OF the present plan
or removing night soil. I am resident Of the
18TH district, and put Q notice in the box, as d.
rected, on Thursday morning last, at which
time there were already in the box some forty
or mty similar notices. Since that have heard
nothing further from the parties employed to
attend TO these calls, and on inquiry at the sta
uon-house this morning, was informed that
the sc notices were not taken out oftener than
once week, and that the officers at the station
were called upon every day TO know why these
calls had been neglected. GRO. HKLMtCK,

iaoTe in Screen Hours and q Hslf.-Mr. Oswald
Charlton, Of the British legation, and Mr..
Severance, OF the Congressional library
achieved quite q remarkable pedestrian feat
yesterday, by walking from Washington to
Baltimore in seven hours and half. The &C
tnal distance traversed was thirty-seyen miles.
The toughest work of the day was the first half,
during which they made the distance between
Washington and Annapolis junction (about
nineteen miles) in three hours and a quarter,
by alternate running and walking, which they
were allowed BY the conditions of the match
against time. IL Is q more remarkable success
from the fact that Mr.. Charltonlhas had almost
no preliminary training, except few walks and
runs with his friend, Mr.. Severance, who has
been, we understand, in quite active training
for a week or two. They returned from Balti-
more in the evening, apparently none the worse
for the jaunt.

The Kansas Murders.

The excitement regarding the murders
discovered in Cherryvale, Kansas is still
on the increase. A despatch dated on the
11th inst, says:
A force of about one hundred men is on
the ground, which is being ploughed over
again, but no more graves have yet been
discovered. The Roach family of Ladore,
seven miles from the place of the slaughter

gether with A. Stephenson, John Harness

ed men were recently found. He has au-

Gone More Unfortunate, !,

About 1920 a. m, yesterday, while Mr..
George Wannamaker, brakeman on shift
ing engine No. III was attempting to cou-
pie some cars in the yard of the Harrisburg
car company, he was accidentally caught
between the bumpers of the cars and SO
seriously hurt that he died in 10 minutes
after the accident occurred. Coroner Por-
ter was called upon and summoned jury
consisting of the following named gentle
men, in order to hold an inquest: Z. s..
Ledford, Martin L. Brown, s. J. Anderson,
j. b. Lingle, j. A. @. German and w. NJ.
Hughes, who, after learning the facts, rem
dered a verdict in accordance with the
facts. Wannamaker had been employed
on the railroad for the past eight years, and
on the shifting engine about three months.
He was about 80 years old, married, leaving
a wife and one child, residing on Ridge
Avenue, corner of Bason alley. The coro-
ner and jurors donated their fees to the
widow.-State journal of the 18th inst.

A Grave Yard Fight.

A few days ago Major Ferris and others,
with the consent of the relatives of the
family, excepting a sister, Mrs. Sarah
V. r. Taylor, undertook the removal
of the remains of father, mother and
other near relatives, from Ferguson s
graveyard, $50 called from its proximity to
corners of that name to burying ground
about one mile south of Melville, NJ. They
accomplished their undertaking safely and
unknown to the Taylor family, between,
whom have been family difficulties. After
removing the bodies they returned for the
tombstones but in the meantime the
Taylors heard of the proceedings, and driv-
ing down to the ground, about mile dis
tant from their house, saw what had been
done, and became SO enraged that they
broke the headstones, anhacted so furious
ly that the Major and his man had to aban-
don the attempt Of removing the stones
at the present.
On the 18th inst, however, Major Ferris
and force of men, numbering twelve or
fifteen, again repaired to the ground for
the purpose of removing the fine monu-
ment costing about $40O, erected by Major
Ferris and brother, and other relatives, for
which the Taylors had never contributed
anything. While engaged in the work,
the "Taylor Brigade" made their appear
ance, bent on battle or on raid An
alteration ensued, hot words followed fast
and furious, and then the Taylor force be-
gan to smash things generally, during
which one of the women seized spade and
began to chip off the raised letters on the
monuments base.
This the Ferris blood could not endure,
and they told the Taylor force to "get out
of that instantar." But they declined, and
a pitched battle was the result. After a
short encounter, during which the Taylor
force hurled missiles at the mon
ument, defacing it it, and the red blood of
the contesting forces commingled, the
Ferris force were triumphant They took
the monument, the Taylor party retiring
vanquished and content.
1t is expected the affair will finally end
in a lawsuit for damages, and in which
will be developed the most disgraceful and
scandalous transactions the community
ever witnessed.

The Fish Commissioner.

Governor Hartranft has appointed James
Duffy, of Lancaster county, Howard j.
Reeder, of Northampton county, and Bel.
L. Hewitt, of Blair county, Fish Com
missioners, under the provisions of the act
passed by the Legislature last winter to
provide for the appointment of Board of
Fishery Commissioners, for the construc-
tion of fish ways, for the protection and pro-
pagation of fish. The provisions of the law
are mainly applicable to the eastern coun-
ties, although there are some that cover
the State and effect the whole people.
The Commissioners are to hold Office for
three years, and to receive as compensation
only the reasonable and necessary expenses
incurred in the performance of their du-
ties. Their general duties, aside from the
construction of fish ways, are "to forward
the restoration Of the inland fisheries OF
the rivers and waters of the commonwealth,
and to stock the same with fish in success
sion to their judgment, as they shall be
supplied with means therefore," For the
construction of fish ways over dams in the
Juniata, Susquehanna, Lehigh and Del
aware rivers, there is appropriated $25, 900
to be expended during the current year
$4,000 to be expended In 1874, and 500
900 in 1876.

Vincennes, Ind, May 1.-Two bridges
near Brownsville on the Cairo and Vincen-
mes Railroad were set on fire on Monday
night, and lot of timber piled on the
track for the purpose of dtching freight
train south.
Fortunately the engineer saw the bridge
on fire and stopped his train in time to
avoid the danger. About fifteen feet of one
of the bridges was burned. The other had
just commenced burning when farmer
discovered it and succeeded in extinguish-
ing the flames.
CB curious question of the rights and
powers of railroads has arisen in Maryland.
A company having abandoned part of
their line, miner, situated on the aban-
doned part, has brought suit for man
damus to compel the company to relay the
the track. This is under statute of 1864,
which gives any person aggrieved by
transportation company incorporated under
law of Maryland right to remedy in equi-
ty. The railroad company denied juris-
diction, but this was overiiled. 1t now
remains to be seen what will be the .judg-
ment of the court on the merits of the case.
Richmond, May 14.-John b. Mordecai,
the principal in the late duel and who was
fatally wounded, died last night. The
State law holds M Carly, the other princi-
pal, amenable for murder in the first de-
gree, and the seconds as accessories before
the fact. They will all be re-arrested, and
probably be committed without bail, the
crime being capital one. Mordecai died
in great agony.
