HORRORS OF STREET TRAVEL.

BROADWAY AND OTHER PROMINENT STREETS STILL
COVERED TTH DEEP MUD.
The condition in which the streets were Saturday,
after the recent snowfall followed by rain and
melting weather, was such as to discourage many
persons from hoping TO see them clean again; and
whether or not the peculiarly unpropitous weather
was the main cause of this horrible state of the
streets not n few citizens laid some of the respon-
sblity upon the Street Cleaning Department. II
was stated that 1t would be necessary to wait
until the mud should become partly dried before
the work of cleaning could be proftably continued.
If that be the case 1t seems probable that long
time must elapSe before satisfactory results can be
reached on some important streets. Fulton-st.,
especially was in n dcplorabe condition. From
Broadway to the Fulton Ferry it covered
with deep and watery mud. 1t impossible for
the most careful pedestrian TO cross IT at any
point without going through mud. often ankle
deep Great pools stood in places, so liquid as to
close like water after the passing wheels of the
omnibuses. which splashed the mud freely upon the
people OH the sidewalks. Broadway was in many
places fully rs bad Near Cana-st., Just above
Great Jones-st.. and at Thirty-fourth-st. there
were places similar to those described; and cx-
cept IN spots, many Of which were evidently
cleaned at the cost OF tho occupants of
tho adjacent property, nothing seemed to
have been done in the way of cleaning
up 10 IL O'Clock SATURDAY evening" mere
was such an abundance OF mud in Broadway that II
seemed almost impossible to believe that bad been
thoroughly cleaned at all, and no slight scraplng OF
the surface can accomplish thorough cleaning.
Should more fall there is plenty of mud for IL
to NIX with and make Broadway as filthy as IL has
ever been; fall of rain would still further qneiy
the mud and add 10 the difficulty of removing it in
carts, and a Sudden decline of the temperature
would freeze il to the ground beyond the reach of
brooms or hoes. The only hope for cleaning Broad
way seems, then, to be the "drying-up" plan, In

several months as superintendent OF a NINE. After
he recovered from his injuries he loft Venezuela ald
week arrived in Brooklyn where he il Mr..
Wheeock tells the following story Of his experience IN
Venezuela aud his arrest and subsequent treatment:
"Ihave been connected for number of years with
mining interests IA both North aud South America
While IN the city OF Bolivar / engaged by a
company there composed of Yenczuelans and Italian
merchants to become superintendent Of the Eureka
Mine in the Caratal mining district, about 300 miles
southeast OF Bolivar began work there on July and
on September work in the mine suspended, as

my arms were tied so tight that they became very
painful repeatedly requested the guard to slacken
tho cords, but he would not do so until promised
him five dollars. lie then gave place 10 another
guard who again frightened the cords and demanded
money II wanted them loosened. Arrived at Eureka,
taken into the room where the safe that
accused Of having robbed After some questions from
the Commissary through an interpreter was charged
with robbing the safe and ordered TO tell where the
money was. lie had previously searched my trunk ana
everything had. As knew nothing about the robbery
and could give him 10 information he held some CONVEX
saliOn with Patron, who speaks good Spanish,
after which the Italian left the room. The Com
mssary then ordered my arms to DO tied again
behind me, and raised by the cord
which held my arms I'LL l was suspended from peg in
the wall feet being some distance of the floor The
pain was excruciatng. was continually told that
would tell where the money would DO set free.
