between Davis (DemocraD and Thomas IRE

UTILIZING TIRE NIGHT-SoIL AND GARBAGE OF
TIE CITY.-In the City Council last evening
Mr. Loney, chairman Of the Committee on
Health, reported resolution appropriatlng
$4,000 to be expended in o machine for the
manufacture OF poudrette from niSht-soll
and garbage. The report accompanying the
resolution stated that the night-5oil and
garbage of the city have always been OF
trouble to the Health Department. Efforts
have been repeatedly made 10 rid the city OF
the ANNOYANCE caused BY the increasing de-
posits, but the efforts have been feeble and
spasmodic, and by no means proportionate
TO the evil TO be remcdied. In other cities
the deposits are considered valuable to agri-
culture, and a plumber Of places were cited
in The report where considerable revenue is
derived from the sale Of poudrette manutac-
tured from night-soil and garbage as an arsu-
ment Of the value of fertilizer Obtained
from the city deposits.
The report gave the folio wing statement
relative to the growing qualities OF phos-
pilates: Vegetable matter times, stable
: is, pigeon s lie, horse 8, guano 10 II,
night soil fluid Il, solid night.soil Il. The
poudrette spoken of in the report, it Is
claimed, can be manufactured very cheaply,
and prove source Of considerable revenue
to the city. In 1872, DR.. Leas, then A sist.
ant C Commissioner of Health, reported that
the sales of night-soi and garbage amounted
to S3,6S3.34. The expenses of the dumps Tor
the past three years were 1899 20, and the
receipts during the same time for gh;-soIl
and garbage S4,S02.34. The machine pro-
posed to be erected will cost g., 1000, and to
operate it one year will require an outlay OF
Si4,4G5.2O. This machine is capable Of mar
facturing $4,000 yearly, and if four ma,
chimes are employed the health department
cannot only be made self-sustaining, but q
handsome sum will be paid into the city
| treasury.
The patentees of the poudrette-machine
propose to permit the city of Baltimore te
use one or more of the machines without
the payment of royalty, the patentees only
reserying the rignt TO nave access to them al
all times TO show their effectiveness to other
| city officials who may be interested in suct
milters. The resolution was therefore made
the order OF the day for Monday next
Baltimore Sun, 18th.

PETERSBURG ITEAs.-Mr. Richard Bryant
was severely injured to-day by the falling OF
large pair of scales upon him. One OF bis

It is stated on good authority that Peter

Vile, will receive the appointment of clerk
in the post-oftice in this city.
1t is safe to say that half million OF dol
lars will not compensate Southside Virginia
for the injury sustained by the late storm.

A conductor on the Pennsylvania rail-
road relates the following incident which
lately occurred on his section Of the road :
At an eastern station he received on board
a fine looking specimen of an old country
gentleman. When he passed through the
cars, the old gentleman handed up his
ticket, which was duly punched and re-
turned to him. After passing the next
call station the conductor again called for
the old gentleman's ticket. He looked up
in surprise, and very honestly informed
the puncher of tickets that he had thrown
it out of the window. Why did you dc
that ?" asked the conductor. The old mar
replied =" Why, l thought if you didn'i
want it, l didn't" The face Of the ole
man was so honest, and his knowledge o.
railroad travelling evidently SO limited
that the conductor accepted his word, ant
carried him to his destination.
