MORTALITY AMONG COLoRED PEOPLE.
Interview between the Preachers and Board Of
Health.

The weekly reports OF the registrar OF vital
statistics has for some time past shown the pre-
ponderance of cOlored over whites in the number
of deaths in this District, and 1t has been sug-
Rested that probably some action could be taken
TO check this fearful mortality In the colored
race.
At q recent meeting Of the Board of Health
committee, consisting Of Professor Langston, DIR.
Bliss and Mr.. Marbury, was appointed to confer
with the colored clergymen and other prominent
men Of the black race to the Of this
the cause, II possible. The rate shows from ffty
TO seventy five per 600 per aRnum above the rate
among the white population, which is attributed
mainly to the want Of proper food and protection
from the cold.
In conformity with the request Of the board the
colored preachers Of this District met together
and appointed the following committee to repre-
committee Of the board, which was held yester-
day at noon, viz: Revs. VIM. airing, r. A. Hall,
Robert johnson, w. J. Walker and S. Alexander.
DR.. Bliss gave, as his plan to ameliorate the
condition Of the poor people, to construct proper
building with dormitory, wash and bath rooms,
where soup can be made and dispensed to the
poor and destitute, and where charitable contri-
be realized for such public and private charities.
He did not think It advisable to disourse money
to applicants for charity, and IL such o house
could be established all the needy could be sup
piled. 1t Is rather late in the season TO inaugu-
rate this system, but much can be accomplished
now There has been at least three to four hundred
lives lost the past year which might have been
The views Of most Of those present were ex-
pressed, but, without coming to any conclusion,
the subject was postponed until after the meeting
Of the board next Friday night.

The following brief statement shows the status
Of the Police Court in regard to the case Of the
1.-TWO FTsnehmsn," and is published at the re-
quest Of the oficials OF that court;
Paul Godfrey and Victor George were ar
Iaigned In the Police court on the eth Of NoVem-
Der, 1874, and after regular examination were
committed finally TO await the action OF the grand
lury. This teTminatsd the responsibility OF the
larry indicted By the first grand Jury competent

tion Of grand juries in this urisdIction the delay
being wholly due 70 the fact that no legal grand
Jury existed prior to the time when the case Of
these men was promptly considered and Q bill
found. The finding Of the bill establishes the fact
that the original commitment from the Police
Court was upon sufhclent cause and fully justin
able and regular.

Messrs. H. T. Turner 10. have purchased a
tract Of land Of 900 acres on the line Of the Bal
timore and Potomac railroad, in the neighborhood
OF the crossing Of the Annapolis road, where they
purpose erecting machinery to cost about s25, 900
for rendering this garbage, dead animals, &c,
into fertilizer Of superior quality, which they
expect will command S45 or $50 per ton.
The point at which their depot for shipment OF
these casks &C. is to be built Is Just east Of the
crossing OF the road over the old canal, or near
New Jersey avenue, on some vacant LOT owned oy
the railroad company.
The plans have ali been perfected for the de.
tails Of this SERVICE and received the approval OF

by the expiration OF the first year the District Will
be able to negotiate terms by which the cost OF
