LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

LUJRE lss fGAEiuEssJE.
A New PEEFuME.-The Health Officer is
not dead. as heretofore suggested. He has
1T last had FIVE Cinnamon, tenants in the
Mesick block, arrested for dumping offal on
the vacant lo5 on l street, between Fourth
and Fifth, in reference to which attention
has twice been called in these columns, and
which is nuisance so extensive as to menace
the health of the people in the vicinity, and
is a standing and blighting disgrace to the
city. The cases of the FIVE Cinnamon ar
rested for committing the nuisance were heard
an the Police Court yesterday upon charges of
violating the health ordinance. They were
found guilty, and judgment of the Court is
to be announced to-day. A strange Incident
in connection with the matter is that L. g.
Chandler, as agent in charge of the property,
appeared and sought to maintain that no
offensive or unheslthful condition of affairs
existed on l street. and that in fact the thirty
i've or forty cubic yards of purifying, stencil
emitting, cholera mixture, shout which the
fuss Is being made, Is no nuisance at all, don't
smell bad, and in fact has q sort of night
blooming eereus, or OF ar. of-roses iva & to it.
The only wonder to lie agent was that son e
enterprising cologne manufacturer hadn'5
appropri ated the premises and the precious
dump Of sgeet-smelling ssvor before this
time for a self generating fountain of aromat-
les for the handkerchief and hair and life
elixir for all ills that flesh Is heir to. MIR.
Chandler was not satisfied with the decision
OF the Court finding the defendants guilty of
causing and maintaining a nuisance, and even
after the findings Of the Court had been an
nouncad sought to convince the Judge that
fhnra was M p1iz1uea Of tbe lnoa tioy,
complained Of The Judge replied that he
was the judge of that matter, and that
he did not wish to hear anything
more from him about it. Mr.. Chand-
Ter then replied that if anyone was
guilty it was he, and not the Cinnamon; that
he paid a janitor 81 90 per month to keep the
tenement houses in the block cleaned out, and
that the offal thus removed was dumped
into this lot by his janitor. This admission
makes its own comment. Il seems that
under instructions and pay of the agent
of the owner of these buildings this accumu-
lation of pestilence- breeding offal and putri-
Tying mass has been going on during the hot
summer months, uutil, within a stones throw
of the principal street and very heart of the
city, it has acquired depth of three feet or
more; and when efforts for abatement of the
nuisance are made, it is defended and sought
to be retained. Mr.. Chandler was yesterday
afternoon searching for witnesses to appear
in Court to-day and testify that it is not
nuisance, with a view to induce Judge Henry
to reverse his decision. Meantime, the nut
sance remains IN stdtu quo, and the agents
lanisor continues to dump garbage, and the
pile still rises. The ordinance in relation to
nuisances authorizes the arrest Of agents il
charge of property, as well as Chinese ten
ants.
