About eleven O'Clock on Wednesday night last
homicide occurred near Wynockie, or Wanaque, in
Passaic county, N j., mile or two above the wcn
known country hotel OF ''Coonn Tice. The name
OF the victim OF tho tragedy was James Luke alias
Decker, well known throughout the upper end OF
the county as a nsh and charcoal dealer, out more
particularly as violinist, in which capacity his
services were in frequent requisition among tne
rustics Of the locality. He was sixty-nve years o'
age and the father OF twenty two children.

BOARD OF HEALTH.

Cigar Making I'm Tenements Declared
Not Prcjudicial to Health.
The Board OF Health at its meeting yesterday
received the report OF the Sanitary Superintend-
ent, transmitting the result Of the investigation
ordered some weeks ago into the alleged unwhole-
someness Of tobacco working In tenement houses
The report. after recording mass OF statistics,
presents the following conclusions comparing the
operatives in tenement houses with those IN the
large factories:-
We md that the home workers have more air
space, as good ventilation, light and food; that
their apar rtments are quite as cleanly that their
children appear as healthy as the shop workers; |;
In addition to this, they earn more money, are
enabled to live In better quarters, have better
food, and can AFFORD more OF the luxuries and ele-
gances OF fe and In 80 far are living under better
hygienc conditions; that they pass their hours Of
sleep under probably as favorable conditions, and
that they do not, as rule, occasion any nuisance
TO their neghb0rs. With oil this, however, there
is evidence enough that the manufacture OF cigars
is not healthful employment; but we believe
that its evil effects are equally felt by those who
WORK In shop or at home.
