SANITARY PUBLIC BUILDINes-sEcREr
SESSION ON THE CONTRACT BUSINESS.
The Board of Health met last night
UNwHoLEsoME PREMISES.
The complaint of B. F. Halliday, No. s1I
18th street, In relation TO offensive odors
about his house. was brought up. Inc health
officer stated that he had made repeated In
spections Of the house, awaiting himself of
the services OF a practical plumber, and was
unable to trace the origin OF the offensive
Messrs Langston, Bliss and Verdi were
appointed a committee to visit the premises
with the health officer and make further in
VestigatioDs.
Two brick houses and one frame in alley
between 9TH and 18th and and T sts north
west, belonging TO j. w. Bates, and a frame
west, belonging to j. Wilson, were con-
demned as nuisances. and their abatement
ordered.
BAD AIR IN THE PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
DR.. Cox called the attention of the board TO
the unsanitary condition of the public build
ings Of this city. The House Of Representa-
tives and the Senate chamber, he stated,
We're in a condition positively Injurious 10

dition which was q shame to the government.

rails used in the manufacture of bank notes
acted upon the system, and IL possible to OBJ
viate the injurious effects.
REMOVAL OF NIGHT-SOIL CONTRACT.
DR.. FL IS moved that the further coasidera-
ton of this subject be postponed, as the Board
of Health had met for the purpose of making
an award of the contract for removing night
soil; he moved also that they go into execu-
tive session.
DIR. Verdi advocated the consideration OF
this subject in open session. He saw
NO NECESSITY FOR A SECRET MEETING.
DIR. Bliss said it was moi proper to have the
discus sion made public. The Board would
award the contract so that ii would be to the
advantage of the community; he would not
be choked into making a contract, and did
not want to be embarrassed by the presence
of any bidder.
DIR. Verdi remarked that there was nothing
10 do but award the contract to the lowest
bidder.
DIR. Bliss replied that their was great dea1
TO be done. The lowest bidder had proposed
TO deposit the night soil at Four mile run
and he was opposed TO this and cared not who
knew il.
On motion TO consider the subject in secret
session prevailed, and the room was cleared
of all except the members.
After about an hours discussion the doors
were thrown open and the announcement
made that the subject of letting the contract
had been referred to a special committee
consisting of Drs. Bliss and Verdi and Prof
Langston, to report at future meeting

ANOTHER STORY WITH A MoRAL-ChriS-
tan Grill died in Long Island City and left
$4,000. He had been an invalid for some
time, and had lived with an old shoema ker
whose wife cared for Grill. Cribs relatives
did not seem to care for him; but as soon as
they heard that he had left $4,000 they
f1ocked around his coffin and gave him a de
cent burial. Yesterday thirteen of them APP
peared before Surrogate Hagner TO break the
will, on the ground that undue influence had
been used to obtain Grilps property. The
shoemaker said that he knew nothing about
ii; Grill never paid him any money for his
board, or anything for taking care of him.
He supposed Grill intended to give him the

THE FIRE AT FORT HAMILTON, n. V
Fire was discovered on Wednesday evening
IN the quarters of one of the officers at Fort
Hamilton, N. Y. The alarm of fire was
sounded along the soldiers quarters, and
everybody turned out quickly. The officer
OF the day ordered the men to turn on the
hose. Before the soldiers could do ANYTHING
IN their clumsy way, the fire had sucked
through the first casemate, leaving the arch
way clear, and had begun to tunnel through
the second and spread toward the ma gaines,
where one hundred and sixty barrels of DOW
der were stored. The ocean gale was too
strong TO make the fire extinguishers of use,
In consequence OF which the fire department
OF brooklyn was summoned 10 the rescue,
and speedily responded. The soldiers and
hremen worked well together, and in n very
short time got the flames under control, but
not before considerable damage was done 10
the officers quarters on the north side of the
tort. The damage is estimated al SlO.O01.

A BIsHoP-ELECT EXPLAINS HIS POSI-
TIoN.-Rev. Thos. A. Jaeger, ID. D., OF Phila-
OHIO, has written letter to Bishop Bacon,
OF Pennsylvania, in which he defines his
views on those questions of church discipline
concerning which he has been charged with
d1sloyalty. He says that i'm signing the letter
to Mr.. Cheney he meant simply to express
his sympathy with that clergyman in his
perplexities and sorrows, and not to counte-
nance him in his resistance to the decision of
TIE Episcopal court. He declares il % be his
decided opinion that there should be no
of our church, either by omission or addi-
tion." and adds: A" II is scarcely necessary to
assure you, my dear bishop, that I should not
nave accepted the call which involves for me
so much sacrifice If had not believed that /
could promise conformity 10 the doctrine

Episcopal Church with a true and loyal

A Fox GEORGE L. TRAPPED-Mr. Geo
IL. Fox, the "Humpty Dumpty'' pantomim-
list, was served with an injunction in Brook
Ign, on Wednesday, restraining him from
performing in his professional character as
low comedian or pantomimist." The order
was issued by Judge Donohue, on the repre-
sentatiOn of Seneca A. Swain. lessee OF
Days Broadway Theatre, Mr.. Swain al
leges that Fox has broken the provisions of a
contract, which stipulated that the cele-
brated clown shall not perform except under
Mr.. Swalms direction. Fox has led the
court officers an unusually long chase. Ten
months ago the injunction was procured re-
straining Fox from appearing in public in
his professional character, the ground of the
action being that Fox had violated q con-
tract Since then Fox has played all over
the country, coming occasionally within the
jurisdiction of the Brooklyn courts. When
ever he did so the officers would get after
him, but he eluded them with the cleverness
OF his fOur-fOOted namesake, at one time
turning somersault out of a back window
while they were guarding all the doors of a
New York theatre TO catch him after he left
tie stage. At last, however, he was trapped
in Brooklyn on Monday night. A deputy
sheriff, disguised as common laborer, APP
piled at the theatre for work just before Fox
came upon the stage. He was taken on, and
once inside, made Z short cut for the dress
ing room, and showed the writ into Humpty
Dumpty's hand, who was fairly cornered at
last.

at Fortress Monroe, Virginia, has been an
nounced. The Norfolk Virginfan says: Mrs
Curry intended TO visit the cemetery to dec
crate the grave of child, and concluded TO
take the nearest way, which was across Mill
creek. She accordingly ordered small skiff
and took her little daughter Lena, aged
years, into the boat with her. They seated
themselves in the stern, and before they had
gotten half way across the creek a rough
wave tilted the boat and threw little Lena
child Mrs. Curry leaned forward and over
turned the craft, and both mother and child
were drowned. The colored man who was
managing the boat at the time was unable TO
render them any assistance for he saved
himself only by seiZipg and clinging to an
oyster stake near by, which kept him above
water until he was rescued. The bodies were
found the same afternoon floating on the
water within few yards of each other.

MINERS WHO REFUSE TO STRIKE-A
crowded mass meeting of the miners of
scranton Pa, and vicinity was held last
night, for the purpose of taking action on q
resolution offered by the executive board of
the LuzeYne branch of the miners national
union that the men now employed in the
mines of Hyde Park and vicinity turn out
on strike, and that those whose circum-
stances preclude such action, curtail the
q!antity of the coal mined so as not to glut
the market, 10 the detriment OF the miners
OF the Schuylkill, Wilkesbarre and Lehigh
regions who are struggling to oppose the re
ductlon of wages by the corporations. The
sense OF the meeting was strongly opposed
both 10 strike and a cuTtailment, both be-
ing considered inseparable, and after long
discussion of the matter a resolution was
adopted OF hearty sympathy with the strikers.
The men felt that their condition is such that
they cannot strike without entailing misery
on themselves and families, and they are not
willing to strike at present Deputy Sheriff
Rhoades left Wilkesbarre yesterday morn
ing with posse of men for the Hazleton coal
region, to protect the operators of the coal
region near Buck mountain, and to preserve
the peace of that section.
