She gave them TO understand, however,

Never before in the history of Steuben-

fame within her borders as now, and
never before were there so many MEM
bers OF the guild who inhsbit and receive
at such places. Even regular jurymen
from the country called on certain of the
handsome "lsdits" who hold nightly
scesnces in the Second ward, and report
says others high in authority have been
seen in the same vicinity. Mayor Jack

he pull them?

Editor OF the Register.
| noticed in the REGISTER Of yeSter-
day piece about the manner in which
the crossings OF Chspine street are kept
between certain streets in the Eighth
ward, which does me great injustice.
My contract with the city compels me to
have the streets scrsped once month,
and the crossings once week. These
conditions faithfully carry out, and the
crossings enumerated in the article of
yesterday are cleaned every Saturday.
Some crossings in the central part of the
city are cleaned much oitener than my
contract calls for. l trust when thought
less citizens abuse me through the press
for not keeping the streets sufficiently
clean to suit them, they will Try to re-
member that l am no more responsible
than they are for the accumulation OF
mud and dirt during the intervals be-
tween the times for which the contract
calls 10 clean the streets and crossings.
