The CITY AND SUBURBS.
THE ADJOURNED SESSION OF
TnEBOARD OF HEALTH.
The Body Found in The Pusey T.
Jones COmpsny's Shipyard
Supposed 10 be That OF
John Mutchler.

The Board of Health met in adjourn
ed session last evening. DR.. l.. p. Bush
presided.
A number of minor nuisances were
acted upon, after which the bids for re-
moving otfal and garbage for the ensu-
ing year were opened. Contracts were
awarded as follows:
First Dstrict-John f. johnson.
Second District-Frank Forsyth.
Third District-John Grinnage.
Fourth DistriCt-Frank Forsyth.
In the proposals reference was made
only to collecting garbage and otfal three
days each week, but the City ordinances
require that the collection be made
daily. Sundays excepted. The men to
whom the contracts were awarded will
meet the Board at five o'clock this after
noon and the matter will be satistactor-
lily settled.
Bids were also furnished by Samuel
r. Bradford and A. G. B. Anderson.
Is afford and Grinnage were the only
persons bidding who have acted as gar
bage contractors in this city at any pre-
vious time. Forsyth has been a contract
or in Baltimore. The bid of John Grin
mage, to whom was awarded the con-
tract for the Third District, exceeded
that of A. G.. Il. Anderson by a number
of dollars. Mr.. Grinnage was given the
preference because he was contractor
during the year just closed and he dis
charged his duties faithfully.
The amounts Of the various bids are
withheld, at the request of the Board,
until the matter of the number of days
which garbage is to be collected is set
tied.
Executive Officer Underwood stated
that the engineer at the City Mill had
been compelled to stop the pumps dur
ing the day lecause dye stutts had been

ry examination, with acertiticate of re-
covery, and any physicians who shall
refuse to furnish such a certificate, or
any person who shall leave his home
without such certificate, shall forfeit
and pay a fine Of - Dollars.
Secretary Fraz.r called attention to the
fact that persons residing East Fourth
street have torn down five yellow flags
at house in which smallpox exists.
The Board decided to prosecute the
persons if they persist in taxing down
tho flags.
Complaint was made that certain
physician does not report smallpox
cases legany. The Board deci led to
prosecute every physician who shall
fail to report the cases in legal form.

LEASED CONVIOTS.
me Cruelty Of the system IN
GoORgi0.

| A special committee Of the Georgia
Legislature which has visited and in
spected the camps Of the penitentiary
in that State has made a detailed re-
port, specifying the number of convicts
found at the several camps, the voca-
tions in which they are employed, the
plants OF the prisoners. The report of
the committee concludes with some
general observations and reflections, and
recommends the passage of an act for
the better inspection, management and
control of the convicts of the State. As
the system exists, the judgment of the
committee is that it contains nothing
that tends to the reformation of the
criminal. at impinges with crush
ing force" says the report, "upon the
great work Of the moral regeneration
of the prisoner" And it is not easy to
see how a young prisoner, unused to
crime, who might be assisted to higher
life under a better system, can fail to
become hardened and indurated with
criminal longings and instincts when
chained day and night to an old felon
who Is past all hope Of reform. To put
a prisoner on such consolation, to
chain him there, to give him water to
wash his body once week, to keep him
in Fl th and dirt the intervening time,
to chain him at night in wet clothing to
his bunk, to allow him three feet of
space, to work him II to ID hours per
day, to lash him with d leather thong
till his bare flesh shows the marks Of
the scourging, and at the end of certain
years Of such discipline to turn him
loose on society if he has survived-this
is crime. This is a crime against so.
Ciety and crime against the wretched
prisoner. Some of these poor fellows
are building railroads, some are at farm
labor, some making brick, some in an
iron furnace, some mining for coal and
around coke ovens, but in all cases there
are faults. In the Dade county coal
mines the management seems to be the
best. Here it appears that there is wa
ter enough, a physician near enough to
give daily attention, building ventla-
ted, and food well cooked. If the other
camps make so good showing it would
be better for the State, but there are 356
sonvicts here and l, ,2O3 in tho aggregate.
The committee suggest that the State
appoint an officer at each camp to stand
between the convict and the lessee, and
to enforce all rules adopted by the GEN.
tral authority for discipline and govern
ment, and to protect the prisoners from
cruel and inhuman treatment. Our
own convicts are managed on the lease
system, and doubtless IA committee of
our Legislature would find as many
evils in the system as attend similar
management in our sister States.

The Now II. Il D, Line.

1
The statement that the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad will on August cease
operating the Delaware Western Rail-
road Is denied at Camden Station. The
Delaware Western, AZ now built, Is ~
miles long, extending from Wilmington
to Lansdale, Pa. The Baltimore and
Ohio own the road and went to a great
amount OF trouble to induce the Dela-
ware Legislature to amend the charter
so thet it might be extended in any di-
rection and form part ofa link in the
contemplated new line of the Baltimore
and Ohio between this city and PhilA-
delpha. The Delaware Western is a
charter road, and if the officers cease op-
Grating it they forfeit the charter and
the property reverts to the original own
ers. 1t would be useless, it is claimed,
to cease operating and forfeit the char
ter of the Delaware Western at this
time, when the Baltimore and Ohio peo.
pie are locating their new line between
here and Philadelphia. Though the new
line may not be built on the line which
is being located, the Delaware Western
can be produced to connect with what
ever line chosen. There are three par
ties of engineers now engaged locating
the line between Baltimore and Newark
Del. The location is progressing favor
ably, though any other line that may
suit the company as well will be used.
There will be no tunneling on the line
of the proposed road and no trestle
bridges. Instead of trestles, wherever
a stream is to be crossed arcades will be
used instead. Should the line now 10.
eating be used, il will cross the Susqne-
hanna two miles above the bridge Of the
Philadelphia, Wilmington and Bali.
more Road, and will be 100 feet above
water, allowing vessels to sail under
without the necessity of a draw in the
bridge Should a. other line be located
further up, briA2e of less extent and
height will be necessary. There will be
d great deal of cutting on the new route
and considerable grading.
