STREET NUMBERS.

To THE EDITOR or THE lIERALD:-
With the amount OF money spent annually New
York should be one OF the best governed and
carcdlor cities on the globe, whereas the tact Is
that its government Is chaos and Its streets un.
cleaned and Uttered with every species OF abomin.
able impediment that makes walking In them both
perllOus and annoying.
In the days OF King Tammany there was corps
of street lamp inspectors employed. Perhaps this
important body of civil functionaries exists yet;
but II so they far behind the Tammanyites in
the manner OF dscharging their duties. When
Tweed was Doss people could at all events dis
tingush the street names and numbers rs they
went along, and that IS more tnan can be done
now. IN tue good times gone by street names
and numbers appear TO nave been painted In oil,
and so remained permanently fixed on the glass ;
now, however, they seem TO be put on with tur-
pcntine aud lampblack. and are washed of by the
first ram that touches tnen. Let any stranger, or
indeed IL resident, visit the upper part oil the CITY,
and he may walk block after BLOCK without being
able to kEow his wnercabouts There are no num-
bers names OF streets either on the lamps or
street corners. This Is no. only nconvcnicnt but
disagrceaDlc and wrong. The city pays dearly for
all sucn things, ana it Is but right tlat ut least we
should Know Wnlther we are travelling. NJ.

THE JERSEY GETTY WATER SUPPLY.

Impurities of the Passaic Water-Pro-
fessor yVurtz's Notwithstanding
Statements.
The alarm created in Jersey City and Hoboken
asst year by the result OF the analysis OF the
Passatc water by Professor Wurtz, OF the stevens
Institute, led to the formation of joint commits
sion of the Water Boards Of Jersey City and
Newark for the purpose OF considering the
feasibility of obtaining new water supply tor both
these cities The chief engineers OF the two
cities, to whom the matter was referred to report
upon have done little or nothing in the matter.
Accordingly delegation OF prominent citizens
called upon Professor Wurtz for a second analysis
OF the Passiac water, and that gentleman now sub.
mits his views, which embody some startling dis.
closures.
He opens by stating that the question OF a pure
water supply for the cities Is not one Of mere
gency, but is one OF life or death. The result
OF his analysis shows that the impurities OF the
Passaic water have increased forty per cent this
year over those OF last year. At the same time tho
mitigating agency, the fish, Is on the wane,
that Jne ratio OF pollution In the future must
depend on the multiplication OF these two factors.
According to his calculation. waich, he submits, is
as vet incomplete, the increase OF pollution, ii
sustained throughout, would mount up in another
On every side there are loud complaints One OF
the city physicians, DR.. Lochncr, told HERALD
reporter tnat many OF the prcvalng diseases in
the city are due prlmarlly to the lmnurity OF the
water supplied TO the cities OF Jersey City and
HobOken. Mayor Traplagen says that the ques.
ton too urgent to admit OF any further delay,
ana he VIII therefore urge an early meeting OF the
JOINT commission. He also intends TO proceed IN
company with the Mayor OF Newark to tiie Passaic
River at Bcllevlle, whence the water is pumped
into the reservoir, that they may be able to see
ior themselves the loads OF fOaung filth there COL
lcctcd daily to be distributed III the StOmacbs OF
100000 persons. The discharges rom the city
sewerage and from all kinds OF factories in Pater.
and Passaic form, according to Professor
wurtz, large ingredient in the water supplied TO
the lower cities. Whether Lake llopatcong or the
head waters OF the Passac water shed be the more
desirable us new source OF supply, speedy action
is Impcratlvely called Tor.

Touching Letter from the Dying Man to
His Fnmily-A Lesson for Dishonest
Employees.
Among the guests at the Hotel Amsburg, corner
OF Fifth and Washington streets, Hoooken, on
Tuesday night, was mysterious looking man OF
respectable appearance, with sandy whiskers
mixed with gray. He held no conversation with
any one but retired early to his room, only
saying TO the clerk 'good night" AS he
dld not make his appearance Yesterday
morning the chambermaid called him re-
peatedly, but received no answer. The door was
1crced in ana there on the bed lay the man, cold
IN death. His face was fearfuly distorted, MS
hands were cenched, and il was evident that ne
died in great agony. Coroner Parsow ana DR..
Kudlich were called H. and IT only required few
moments investigation to satisfy them that the
man had swallowed Paris green. There were no
eEects on ms person except two letters, written
In GERMAN aud about three dollars in currency.
The letters were duplicates, ard were addressed
TO his wife and children, as ollows:-
DEAR Ina AND DEAR. r9on cniLpnEs-God in heaven

The letter was enclosed IN an envelope ad-
dressed to Mrs. Ida Buddeman, 100 Second street,
New York. The conclusions drawn from the letter
are that the unfortunate man was employed by
some New York house, and some pllIering was
done by him and another clerk. The one escaped

A Capital Suggestion for Real Military
Music.
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
Having read with much interest and pleasure
your timely article on "Brass Bands' IN Mondays
paper, and your just censure Of the pernicious
system OF substitutes which prevails among the
military bands and orchestras of this city. and
which can only be obviated by establishing per-
manent organization, such as may be found in
every CITY in Europe. beg leave to submit to
you plan which l think is the only feasible one
America a band worthy Of her name and
fame. 1t is the formation OF a band
OF picked men. under competent leader
to be attached to the Metropolitan
Police Department., and to be known as
the metropolitan Police Band, of New York. Their
duty may be considered to consist of playing every
nay some on one pl % .hs cy ana an at oSe ice
municipal authorities would have an interest.
But their principal duty should be to give u con-
cert every day III one OF the parks. For the or
ganizati0n OF such a body would suggest that
they be regu ary enrolled and sworn IN on the
OF captain and the rank and file OF the band as
patrolmen. Such an organization would be
Subject 5oca OF pas ana w%no
moral and beneficial! influence on the force
not TO be Overrated. A body of men nearly 1900
strong, into whose hands are committed some Of
the most impOrtanJ interests of the city, and who
may be great pubic good or an equally great
ev according as they are disciplined, should GER
tainly have the aid OF sweet harmony and the con-
cord OF sounds to encourage them and to teach
them persuasive powers OF another kind than the
OF the CLUB. Such d band would be also an or
nament TO the great metropolis, ana confidently
predict would be followed by the formation OF
similar organizations in every city In the Union.
1t is a hopeless task to endeavor to maintain a
real first class military band attached to one OF
our militia regiments, as sufficient opportunities
arc not afforded TOR concerts and practice. No
leader can keep his men together depend
ing on the few precarous concerts given
under the auspices OF regiment Give
position, such as have suggested and there Will
be no necessity Tor substitutes The excellence Of
the military bands in Europe CONSISTS in the fact
that their services are wholly devoted to their
leaders and the regiments to which they belong !;
but that, OF course, with citizen soldiers,
would be impossible. The idea OF police band is
not an untried one. magnificent example or
the success OF such an undertaking is shown IN the
Royal IRISH Constabuiary Band, oil Dublin, now
over thirty years in existence and recognized as
one OF the crack bands OF Europe. The Police
commissioners should take this matter into con-
sidcratlOn, which every well disposed citizen Will
heartily Indorse. BY all means let us have Met
ropolitan Police Band OF which New York may be
Justly proud, and which will tend towards intro
duclng harmony where discord and physical force
might alone have sway. HARMONY.

A sEDUCER MISSING.
An East Tennessee Doctor Avengcs His
Daughters DishOnor.

From the Knoxville Chronicle, July 16]
gentleman rom Bradley county yesterday
brings US the details OF an ugly story which is now
being Investigated by the Sheriff OF the county. AS
the facts have not yetbcen officially investigated,
and as at best but grave suspicion involves the
principal actors, we for the present suppress the
names.
About three months ago young man from Ala.
bama moved into the county and obtained situa-
ton on the farm of a well-todo farmer. Near by
lived a rural NJ. d., who had daughter whom the
young man occasionally visited. His visits became
so frequent ana were OF such character as to at
tract the suspicion OF the parents. ON one occasion
these suspicious were confirmed, aud the Iather
held a conversation with the young man, which re-
suited in the latter promising to leave The county.
The same day the guilty man started with his
money and clothes tor his Southern Tome soon
alter lie lett the rather learned from the employer
OF the young man that he had admitted TO having
had IMP. Opcr intercourse with ns daughter on
two OCCASIONS Tncreupon the father started ior
Cleveland alter the offender. lie lound him at tue
depot awaiting the tram. He swore out a warrant
Tor MIN and mad him arrested. The oifccr in
charge, AZ the request OF the iatner and friends
companying him turned the guilty mau over to
them Tor the purpose OF taking INN back to the
lather's h0me. Tue reason ior this course on tnc
ollcer3 part we dld not learn. Wnen some
way OUT rom tne CITY the party cut some
wlthcS, ana tying the man up gave MN u terrible
whipping They wore out four witnes on MIN ana
then tied the large ends together and beat him
with tnem. Our informant says that the story IN
CeYeland goes that one ol the party, in answer 10
the pteous begging OF the whipped man, put a ps-
tol to ms hehd ana proposed TO put an ead TO the
matfcr. AT least, such suspicious exist, Tor since
the whipping nothing has been seen or ncard of
tic young man. Ills carpet bag was found III the
