Dr. Harris report to the board of health
states that at no time since 1868 has the
rate of mortality been so low, and the con-
diton of the public health so good as at
present
SuFFOCATED ny foul AIR.
Thomas Dodd, vagrant, died from the
effects of foul air in the jefferson market
prison, where he was committed last week.
This is the second death within the week
in the same place from the same cause.
THE POLICE MIDDLE.
\ new phase in the police middle is
presented by the resignation at late hour
last night of Commissioners Gardner and
Charlick, and the appointment by Mayor
Haycmcyer Of George W. Matscl and
John +. VOORHEES, to fill the vacancies.
This new move of the mayor is ascrb ed to
desire to put stop to the proceedings
before the governor and save long inves-
tigation that would probably be ordered by
Gov. Dix; also to the fact that it was
made manifest at the meeting of the police
board yesterday that Gardner and Charlck
could not be reelected TO their old posi-
tions of president and treasurer, the other
two commissioners having voted steadily
against it, Whatever were the mayors
motives, it is understood that the pro-
ceedings already instituted to effect his
removal will not be abandoned.
The committee of Tammauy having the
matter in charge proceeded TO West lamp
ton last evening TO present their case to
Gov. Dix. The last appontccs Of the
mayor arc regarded as personal rather than
political. Matsel used to be democrat
but IS now simply Il lIavcmcycr man,
which means in a political sense only an
anti-Tammany democrat. VOORHEES, was
also formerly democrat but of late years
has had no political status except that of
an opponent alike Of Tammany hall and
the custom house republicans. He was
president of the ninth ward council of POI
litical reform, and since he has been excise
commissioner has favored strong action
against liquor dealers. The appointment
of Matscll leaves Il vacancy in the Office of
superintendent of police, and that of Voor-
HES vacancy in the excise board. Mat
sell is siXtY-cight years of age, and Voor-
HES forty-siX. The morning papers crti-
else the mayors last move almost as severely
as they did the previous one, particularly
the appointment OF Matscl
CHARGES AGAINST MAYOR IAyERMYEH
y delegation representing Tammany
Hall council, political reform, eminent
lawyers and private citizens waited upon
Gov Dix this morning at his residence on
Long Island, and preferred charges against
Mayor Havermyer of maladministration
and submitted documents in support of the
charges. The Governor took the papers,
promising that he would give the matter
his immediate attention and assuring the
delegation that they might rely upon his
prompt action.
He stated that the law of New York
needs him to furnish the mayor with copies
of the charges after which the latter must
put in his defense, and u opportunity be
given him to be heard in his own defence.
The delegation requested the Governor to
suspend the mayor from his office pending
the investigation, but received reply that
he would act with promptness and eff
cheney. The interview lasted one hour and
ten minutes, after which the delegation re-
turned to the city.
