the Law which prohibits unjust determinations against
intervening aud non-competng localities, where the
ttsllspostation was whoy within this s:atc, they

constitutional power to prohibit just discrimination

OF POLICE STATIONS.
The Board of Health met last night, and a
communication was received from the District
Commissioners notifying the board that the
control OF the collectors of garbage had been
vested with the Board of Health, and that their
engineer had been so notified. Referred to the
special committee having this matter in charge.
The health officer informed the board that he
had ordered the filing up of the following lots,
on which were pools of stagnant water, which
had been done Lot "a, square 40, quantity Of
material 353 cubic yards, cost 5000, surveyors
fee e. lot u, square 334, quantity Of material
go cubic yards cost s1l0, surveyors fee 81; lot
%, square 302, quantity Of material 400 cubic
yards, cost $211, surveyors fee 81. The stag
nant water in these lots has been for long t me
most Injurious to health, and after diligent
search no owners could be found, and they were
filled in accordance with the orders of the board.
He also called the attention Of the board to the
fact that there are two manufactures of and
four storehonses in Georgetown for fertilizers,
and two warehouses In Washington, which are
very offensive. The subject was referred to the
sanitary committee.
On the recommendation of the health officer
the two one-story frame houses and premises,
situated on square 1876, between New Hampshire
avenue and 18th street aud P and q streets
northwest, the property of Messrs. Kilbourn &

ated in Goat alley, between 9th and eth and l.
and Nj streets northwest, the property of Mary
Mulahan, as being unfit for human habitation,
and in q bad sanitary condition generally, were
abatement ordered, according to law and the
ordinances of the board.
The health officer reported that the station
houses in the city of Washington are, by reason
OF insufficient ventilation and general filthy con-
didon, unit lodging places even for criminals
positive disgrace to the city. The secretary
was directed to report the above facts to the
District Commissioners.
MIR. Msrbury made a motion that the special
committee be instructed TO call attention to the
necessity of thorough cleaning OF the uuiIn-
proved streets OF the District as a sanitary
measure; so ordered.
Upon the suggestion of Prof. La0gston, the
matter OF unwholesOme food was taken from the
table and referred back to the sanitary commit
tee for further report.

A Gypsy SToRY.-The New York Herald and
the New York Sun publish lengthy correspond
ence from Mount Pleasant, Pa, under late of
July p, in which are given Extraordinary
revelations" of double murder alleged to have
been committed by the chief of a band of gip-
sizes now travelling in that vicinity, in which the
victims were a girl who was kidnapped BY the
glpsies in England some years ago, but at the
tine of her death had grown TO be handsome
young woman, and young man named Frank,
said 10 be OF highly respectable family of Bal
timore, and who, when the gipsies were en-
camped near that city last spring, becoming
enamored with the young lady (Esmondela],
deter mined to cast his fortunes with her and
who, up to the time of his death, had been lead
ing the roaming life of gypsy. The statement
is given by Christoph Polombo, who himself
was an outsider travelling with the gipsies and
being terror-stricken at the commission of the
crime, fed to Mount Pleasant and made known
the facts TO Justice Martin, of that place. Po-
lombo says the cause of the crime was jealousy
OF the chief of the gpses for the girl against the
attentions OF the young man Frank. The New
York Sun, in its statement OF the affair, siys:-
'PolombOs statement finds many believers, but
there are some who profess to see inconsistent
cies in the narrative that leave its truth open to
question. Investigation may prove the truth OF
the story, but ii is not probable that il will ever
reveal the mystery of Esmondela's birth. The
identity Of the man Frank, however, NAV be
established" The story has a very romantic
Air about it, and will bear some further investi-
CATION before person can put his faith to it.

DC be'' mat the police are United States officers

District officers then the 20 per cent. should be
deducted. An impression exists that the Dis
tTict police fund has for some time past been
diverted to other purposes, which is not true.
The cause Of the deficiency in this fund is that
when the act was passed in 1859 giving the police
ten dollars per month extra pay there was no
appropriation to carry the law into effect, nor
has there ever been any appropriation made
for that purpose, and the money to meet the
provisions Of this law has been anticipated from
the police fund ever since, thus creating the de-
fciency.
