A MAN died recently at Suter Greek
who had never adhered to any particu-
lar belief in any specified system of re-
Egion, but who bore the name of being
a liberal, kind hearted man and a good
citizen. A minister was requested to
conduct the funeral service, and the
good man during his discourse said in
effect that the deceased had not the
least chance of salvation, but had made
bee line tor the hot place. Those who
heard this were very indignant, and
that evening a party of men went to the
minister's house, dr. gged him out of
bed, put rope around his neck, de-
claring they would hang him. He beg
ged hard for life, and finally retracted
the asperations he had cast upon the de-
ceased, and promised to leave the place
at once. He was then released, and
next day he packed up his effects and

tion Of the alleys WAS alluded to by DR.. Vnrdi,
when Lieutenant Hoxie and Commissioner Phelps
reminded them that this was the fault Of the gar
bage service.
Dr.. Verdi stated that the duty of the garbage
men was to remove garbage from vessels where
II is placed by the Inhabitants and not remove 1t
from the ground where It was thrown.
sLieutenant HoxIe thought IL was within the
province of the Board Of Health TO compel the

stated that the alleys are promptly and properly
cleaned in accordance with the terms Of the con
tract, and that the inspectors made official re-
ports to his ONCE promptly after each cleaning.

power to delegate his authority or responsibility.

Gov Dennison remarked that he couldsnot under

the owners of such lots are compelled to NIL them

pose.

A BRUTAL HUSBAND.
he Beats His Wife and Then Attempts to


Swallow Poison.
About halfpast five O'Clock, last evening, man
named Ambrose Wall, was arrested by officer
OHsre of the Sixth precinct, for assaulting his
vile, Annie Wall. He was formerly empl- yed as
barkeeper in Barnum's Hotel, in Baltimore, and
at one time occupied q similar position in the
Howard House, in that city. Lstterly he pre-
sided over the bar Of OIeary's Restaurant, near
the Baltimore and Ohio depot, but when that es-
tablishment, became q thing Of the past, he was
thrown out upon the world, and has
not had steady employment since. For more
than q year his wife has worked pa
tiently to earn q scanty support for herself
and her husband. She has resided on Sixth
piled money for his extrsvagances in the lower
part of the CITY. He became q source Of annoy
ance, always asking for funds-even following her
on the street to get what money she possessed !;
and few days ago she gave him fifteen dollars
on the condition that he would leave the city. He
appeared again shortly afterwards, and last
evening, meeting her on Sixth street, near her
home, became particularly obnoxious, and even
threatened TO put end to his life If she did not
furnIsh him with money.
Mrs. Wall was compelled to call upon Ohcer
O'Hare for protection, and while she was pleading
with the oticer Wall dealt her two blows with
his fist and was Immediately arrested. On the
way to the station the officer frustrated an at
a tWo-ounce bottle which he had about his per-
son ard the officer took it from him. Wall Is q
young man, not more than htrty, and has be-
come complete slave to liquor. He was locked
up In the station TO appear at the Police Court
