Gross VIOLATION OF A HEALTH ORDINANCE
Richard Richardson, q vidangeur, was arrested
on Sunday last, charged by Officer Brown will
q violation of article 1885, Revised City Ordi
nances. Richardson was arraigned before
Judge Evans on Tuesday, VIM. Rufus Crane
appearing in his behalf Officer Brown tes
titled that at half-past o'clock Sunday morn
ing his attention was drawn to the fact tina
the contents of vault had been emptied into
the gutter at the corner of Richard and Cor
stance streets The vidangeur who had per
petrated the nuisance could not be found q
the time, but hearing that Officer Brown had
been inquiring for him, presented himsel
later in the day at the station, and there at
tempted to bride Officer Brown to silence by
an invitation to drink and the tender of q dol
lar. The officer at once arrested the offender.
| Arraigned before Judge Evans, the accused
pleaded not guilty, but made no effort to con-
trovert the testimony of the officer. The at
tempt at bribery was admitted. That learned
counselor, Rufus Crane, after telling several
incidents of Roman history and assuring his
| Honor that he had known HIM both in his
civil and criminal car er, asserted most posi-
lively, and with acrobatic eloquence, that
Richard Richardson was an upright uidangeur
and as good man as any within the terrific
rial jurisdiction of his district.
His Honor sentenced Richardson to pay q
fine of ten dollars, or be imprisoned for twenty
days. In delivering his decision, Judge
Evans adverted in severe terms to the repre-
hensble practice INDUCED in by vidangeurs
of emptying the contents of their carts into
cutters. His Honor said that this vile prac-
tice was almost universal, especially on rainy
nights, when the lazy driver of the cart would
trust to the flood to carry off all evidences Of
his offsnse.
That sickness was the natural and newt
able result of such gross violation of hygienic
laws; that as this water. impregnated with its
death dealing filth, would find its level in the
low land in the rear of the city. which was
known 10 be most accessible to disease, it
could not be doubted that most of the cpl
denies that have ravaged the city have been
caused by this grossly criminal practice on
the part of the vidangeurs.

Four YOUNG MEN ATTACKED BY SIX UN.
KNOWN MEN-The Stdbbing of Rabouin.-Last
Saturday night at II o'clock, as Messls. Geo.
Hogan, Ernest Rabouin, John Latour and
Charles Lanus were on their way home, and
as they got on Dauphine street, between Gus
tomhouse and Bienville, they were suddenly
set upon by six men, supposed to be Italians.
The young men being unarmed, were unable
to show much resistance, but defended them
selves as best they could. While engaged in
blow in the forehead with pair of I" brass
knucks,' and Mr.. Rabouin was seriously
stabbed in the right hand and hip.
The Italians then becoming frightened at
approaching footsteps, beat hasty retreat
Mr. Rabouln was taken to his residence on
Derbigny street, where he received medical
attention and is still confined to his bed, SUI
fering much from his wounds which are very
sore. The young men cannot account for this
midnight attack upon them, unless the ruff
fans intended robbery, as they knew of no
one who bore any malice against them
Where were the police
INcEND1AR1sM This morning, about 1890
o'clock, it was discovered that an unoccupied
house on Delta between Lafayette and Poy-
dras streets was on fire, and patroiman Dor
sey, assisted by several officers from the Har-
Dor Precinct went quickly to rescue. The
fire was suppressed without much difficulty,
and before much damage resulted.
It is believed that the fire originated at the
hands of an incendiary, as coal oil in con-
amounts had been distributed about
the building. In fact, guam ity of that
com bustible was found in the house, part
of which. it is supposed, bad been used as
above indicated. Some evidence was CLEANED
pointing to one Edward Lewis as the person
who fred the building, and accordingly he
was taken in charge and safely incarcerated
in the Central Police Station. The property
is owned by Mr. John Morie, and is insured,
but for what amount could not be learned.
BURGLARS VISITING THE BROKERS. = The
Office of Messrs E. H. Levy & Co., brokers,
No. 1875 Gravier street, was visited by bur-
glars last night. The front door was found
open at 1890 o'clock, by Officer G. W. Muir
ply, and an examination of the premises
disclosed the fact that pane Of glass had
been broken in one of the doors, and the in
side bolt thereafter drawn. 1t is said that
nothing was found missing, hence the suppo-
sition that the burglar or burglars became
alarmed and fed before concentrating their
design upon the safe.
ATTENTION, GUTTER CLEANERS. gut
ters on Decatur, between st. Psters and JEFF
ferson Streets are in a most filthy condition,
creating a smell that is very injurious to the
health of the neighborhood. This is the
second time in one week that this nuisance
has been reported and yet no steps have been
taken to remedy the evil. Cannot some one
attend to it?
