jena Str OF, Ia the puhjeot of complaint. This
morning q delegation from the residents of the
Ninth Ward were IN Attendance at the Office OF
/. Administrator h.oOsffrey, armed with petition
praying for the removal iyf the wharf down to
the sugar House.
The present location. they say, was selected
many years ago, aud since then the vicinity has
been built up. The dumping or the offsl creates
great stencil, and besides the nignt workers
keep up such noise that 1t is in possible FOR peo-
pie 10 sleep.
MIR. Daniel Sullivan the we'll known cooper at
EsN a. usaa
also Of tho City Hall. lie IL after Mr.. Berghinl,
street contractor, with sharp stick Mr.. bulli-
van saws that he has had . rtion OF the street
10 front of his shop paved with oobbie stones
AT hrs own EXPENSE,
and that while he was absent from home yesters
day. Mr.. Berghin caused the cobble stones to be
taken up aud the hole Hsd up with street aorap'
ings. Mr.. BuIlivBn's appearance at the Hal ts
TO prevent Mr.. Berghin from taking away the
stones, aud to make him repair the spot torn up.
AMONG THE COWS.
Pat Clarke IL seems was again on the whr path
OIL Friday. The pound men got Pats COWS and
we're driving them TO the pund, but the pucky
da,ryman assisted by his family, got word of the
affair and set out In pursuit. othle tormentors whom
he soon put to flight, after which Pat conquer
ingly came home with his cows.
prominent citizen of the upper Districts is
reported attending to his own COWS in the green
fields Of that locality, and In order to defend
them from the poun i-drivers has armed himself
TO the cow.catehers, who say IL looks az big as
TEN CYLINDER dATIrra.
On the other hand there are psople who live In
that part OF the city who say that the cattle
are nuisance. Prof FJrshey is ono of these,
and with view to obtaining remedy paid visit
TO the Mayor yes ierdey, lively discussion be-
tween them being the result his Honor claiming
that cows and cOw.owners had rights which
should be respected. The Mayor said that the
COWS roam all around his residence
WITHOUT ANNOYING HIM.
Prof Forshey replied that that might be true,
but that he did not have 400 COWS about his
house.
The Mayor questioned whether there were
that many roaming around the professors resi-
denee, and our distinguished engineer had TO re-
duoe the number to forty. The Mayor then in
formed Mr.. Forshey that, Ia his opinion, the
pound limits did not extend as far es the profes.
sor's residence. aud that he would have to apply
by petition to the Council, through the Admins
TRAITOR of Police FIR remedy.
The Mayor certainly seems TO think that this
matter Of the cow question 10 bore, and that 1t
can be discussed
PRo AND CON
with no disadvantage to the cows.
Dol. Dens, the Administrator Of Finance,
thinks likewise, and, besides, that III the cows are
not allowed to roam ON our greens the grass will
grow so high that the people will be aeking the
city TO NOV 1t.
The dog question liz another ono which oc-
cupies the Mayor. He ia opposed to the
SAUSAGE SYSTEM
OF diminishing their numbers, aud prefers the
Chicago system OF caging them and drowning
them, or the New York plan OF asphyxiating
them with the fumes of charcoal by putting them
In an alright chamber with charcoal fire in 1t.
The Mayor and rome of the Administrators dis
cusHed the money to DO derived from fines i'm
posed on policemen, which ut the present rate
will amoant to three or mr. thousand dollars per
annum, but no conclusion was arrived at. AS to
THE PAY or POLICEMEN,
during their suspension when under charges the
Gordian knot has been severed by an understand
ing among the police commissioners, that here
after, except in very grave csseH policemen shall
not be suspended before trial, when charges are
brought aga nst them.
IMposToRs ABROAD.
The Mayor received intelligence yesterday by
telegraph that two ladies bearing well known
names. are In Cincinnati claiming tu be on o mis-
sion from this city to beg aims for our poor.
They represent that they are author zed to do 80
by the Mayor. MIR. Psbury has answered that
no such authority has been given to the persons
named, and, for reasons which he keeps to him
self. that they are not deserving of the regard of
the people of Cincinnati.
Surveyor dHemecourt has prepared specifics
tions Tor repairing No. 22's engine-housa. which
ID IN sad demand OF overhauling. and the work
will be advertised for the loves. bidder.
The Surveyor, BY the way, has been 80 busy
engaged recently that he has been compelled 10
abandon, for the time being. his iabors among
the archives of
THE CONVEYANCE OFFICE,
Of tracing the titles to certain properties which
there is good reason to believe belong to the
city, while the rents are being collected by per-
, sons who have not the least right to them. The
matter was discussed agsin at the City Hall yes
terdays and the probability 10 that II will be I'M
dertaken again with renewed yigor.
