SOMETHING NEW.
A wonderful Block Of French Flats I'm
New York.

Jose +. dc Navarro has begun the erec-
tion between Fifty eighth and Fifty ninth streets,
opposite Central Park, New York, Of Il block of
" French fiat" houses that will be the most costly
in the country, and built OH new and novel plan.
The block will consist of eight buildings, each one
standing on its own plat of ground one hundred
feet square, the space between the buildings on the
inside of the block being laid out into garden,
with flowers and fountains as play ground for
children, which will be kept entirely private, all
access to the rear by marketmen and servants
being through an underground passage leading
TO the basement doors Each OF the buildings
will contain thirteen apartments or flats,
adapted to the Use OF single family, and
these flats will be fitted up with with every regard
for luxury, comfort, and heathfulness special at
tentlon having been given By the arthltects de-
signing them TO ventilation, light, and facility Of
service. Each building will have two elevators,
one In the main hall and one communicating with
the kitchens. By what is called the duplex ar
rangement, patented device whereby two eight
feet high stories In the of house correspond
to one story sixteen feet high in the 'front.' double
the amount of space is obtained In the rear half
of each house for kitchens, pantries, small bed
rooms, &C. The thirteen persons who are to &C.
cupy one building are to be associated together rs
q club or joint stock company. Mr.. de Navarro
will erect the buildings and sell the apartments at
n stated price, but retain the ownership of the
ground, the different clubs thus paying ground
rent to him. The cost of each building, exclusive
OF the ground, for which rent will be charged at
the rate of 800 year, will be about s25O0OO and
the necessary cash investment for each apartment
will be $1,000 the annual charge after that will
be from 81 500 TO $500 n year, according to the
size OF the apartment for ground rent, interest on
mortgage, taxes and running expenses of the
building. Mr. dc Navarro has already sold all the
apartments Of one building and most of those in
two others. The workmen are now blasting fol
the foundations. The excavations alone will cos
moro than 100000. The club" method ofliving
combining rs II does so many advantages OF luxury
aud privacy, will be a novel experiment, aud il
success will be watched with interest.-New Yorj

SMALLPOX DISAPPEARING.
Official Report - the Hospital
Physician.

At the monthly meeting of the Board
of Trustees, yesterday morning, DR..
Willard Springer, physician In charge
OF the small pox hospital, made the
following report -
WILMINeToN, DEL, Aug. 81, 1881.
Milton Lackey, Esq, Chairman of
Smallpox Hospital Committee -
When l took charge of the small. pox
hospital at the beginning of the press
cut quarter (July 27sh) I found 32
persons there uueer treatment. Since
that time 16 have been admitted. OF
the 80 there at that time 20 were black,
aud II white. OF the 10 admitted 10
were white aud 8 were black. During
the month there have been z
deaths, 4 whites and 3 blacks, here
have been 81 nlschaiged, leaving at
present but persons i'll the hospital,
both Of whom are black.
We trust the disease has now about
disappeared from our midst and we
feel that everything has been done for
the comlert aud oonvalesceuce Of the
afflicted, that 1t was possible for us to
do.
The tents have been a great conve-
nien 10 us, and their benefit to the
patients is oest shown by the fact that
the percentage Of deaths has b en- less
among the coloied people since they
we're put in the teuts than it was be-
fore. l he general averags per cent. of
deaths in the hospital uu,ing the past
year has been about 10. which is lower
than Is usual III smallpox, whether in
hospitals Or not.
We have NO word OF complaint to
maze against Mr.. Fisher, The super
iutendeut. lie has been faithful 10
his duly in all respects, and the most
positive iesuiluo y we have of fidelity
is the statement ol tile must respecta-
ble peisuns who have beeu under his
care. When we lave entirely gotten
r.d of the dIseese we recommend the
trustees to employ Mr.. Fisher regularly
ut IL fair salary, AS We never know
when We lay have the disease again,
aud IL would be d iii suit matter to get
u superiuLeudeuJ more suitable than lie
has proven himself To be.
