COMPLAINING OF THE DOORS
arising from the gas works and its surround
ings on G street, and requesting that the board
investigate the matter, was reported upon by
the health officer. The sources of these OdOrS,
which are injurious to health, are the gas
manufactOry, purifying house, tar works. am
mOniacal works. and several lime-kilnS where
oyster shells are burned, situated at the foot of
G, III. l and X streets, on the bank of the river.
The ordinary processes to suppress OdOrS are
taken except in the burning of oyster Shells
hfai G 6 ne s that SPECIAL
matter was referred to, the board as COM
mittee of the whole, who will visit the works
and make personal investigation.
THOSE CREAM PUFFS AGAIN.
A letter signed by Samuel Webb, j. Z. Skim
ner, Emily Haynes, C.. H. Bartlett, F. ii. Cobb.
j. j: Low, X. Y. Cobb and III. D. HOvey, was
read, saying that they, beyond a reasonable
doubt, We're poisoned on the afternoon of the
9Th inst at li22 9Th street northwest. by eating
Freund'S cream puffs.
DR.. ' erdl, from the committee on food, read
report upon cream puffS, which was adopted.
The report states that about thirty persons
have communicated to the committee that
Freund'S on the 9th inst The committee does
not believe Mr. Freund guilty of any sinister
intent. The report of the chemist of the Agri-
cultural department that the puffS submitted
to him for analysis and examination contained
neither vegetable nor mineral poison does not,
in the opinion of the committee, cover the in
quiry OF the board, for the fact still remains
that many lives have been put in imminent
jeopardy by the introduction into the system
OF some unknown and deleteriOuS agent con-
tanned within the composition entitled cream
puifs. 1t is suggested that this poison may
have been evolved by certain organic changes
having taken place in that composition which
neither philosophy nor chemistry can explain
but which have occurred in similar Instances
in Boston and Philadelphia. Instances in
other cities where people have been poisoned
with cream putfS are cited in the report, and,
though investigation failed to reveal any poi
son. the committee pronounce the preparation
unsafe and to be avoided. The committee had
investigated Mr.. Freunds kitchen, but found
nothing dangerous either in the ingredients
Tor making the pulls or in the manner in which
copper utensils are used there. 1t would be
well, however, that cOnfectiOners should never
IS tlnlied or enameled.
THE EIGHT HOUR LAW IN THE NAVY YARDS.
The hayward wOrkingmen held meeting
last night at Odd Fellows Hall, Sth street east,
to discuss the eight-hOur law. Mr.. Philip r.
CaywOOd was called to the chair and Richard
EmmOns acted as secretary. Col Davis, from
the Philadelphia navy yard, thought the least
said about the eight hour law until after the
contemplated action by Congress the better.
made an address of encouragement and was
followed by MIR. Hunt, of the Charlestown
lMass) navy yard, who said was the duty of
Congress to put men to work i'm all the navy
wards and other government departments,
which would lnaugurate better times. Mr..
EmmOns, after spirit speech, introduced res
olutlons, which were adopted, emphatically
protesting against any infringement upon the
elght-hOur law: thanking some members of
Congress for their efforts while others have
mlSc0nStrued OF altogether ignored the eight
hour law, etc. A resolution was also adopted
that committee be appointed to inform the
officers OF the yard that the wOrkingmen will
Joseph Brown, Howard Miller, l.. b. Hunt
and Wm Hardester were selected as the COM
mittee.
