The condition of the streets is the COM
mon topic of conversation all over the city.
our reporter made it his special business 10
listen at the remarks made concerning them
yesterday, and at the risk of Ueing lost in
some one of the sloughs on the crossings he
went over the city to gather opinions on
the subject. He didn't interview any one
this was not his mission. His only OBJ
ject was to listen and to ot down what he
heard. Ii would take paper of twice the
size OF the HERALD to chronicle all the
anathemas that frctted the air on yeserday
as they fell from the lips of
disguised citizens. One party said that if
the Aldermen knew half that was said con-
corning them, they would in self respect re-
sign the trust the people have committed
to them, and which many say, they have
betrayed by their negligence, sins of omis-
sion and OF commission and derelictions of
duty generally. 1t is lamentable fact
that our streets are but loblollies; they are
wellnigh bOttOmless pits of slush. They
are disgrace to Il civilized community; a
shame and al outrage to an enlightened
people. The people cannot help themselves
as long as their City Council sits
iaert, failing and refusing to do
anything toward remedying the evil.
1t was suggested by another party that the
Aldermen want to be reelected when their
terms of office expire, and are therefore
trimming their sails to that end by policy
OF alleged economy. But there is certainly
no economy in permitting the streets OF the
city to go to wreck and ruin; there is no
economy in forcing the people of this
city, men and.womcn and children, to WAGE
through mud holes and water pools from
ankle to knee deep there is no economy in
leaving the streets so severely alone
that every time it rains wagons
and drays must drag through mud and
slush to their aXles there is no economy
IN causing strangers stopping here to curse
lhe city for quagmire, and in making
others who contemplated stopping and
probably investing here, go on by with a
Sunderland with thanks to heaven that they
saw the place in the midst of rain. There
IS no economy in this sort of thing, nor is
mere any common sense in it, nor is there
n chance for any reelection in il. The people
don't elect city fathers with the view that
they. shall trim here back there, and fill
yonder, striving to catch popular breeze
liiat VIII wait them to reelection.
ihey elect them to do their duty; to do all
things nccdful for the city's welfare and
prosperity, and certainly no man. not even
an Alderman, will seriously contend that it
IS not 10 the city's interest and well
fare to have good sidewalks, good
and clean street-crossngs, and firm,
dry streets, If it rains two DAYS
longer the probabilities are that the soil of
Que streets will have become so worked-up
and SO soft that tlat-boat lines would do q
good business in navigating them. The
present Board of Aldermen, us things 90
and Il little more rain, will make Dallas the
head of navigation. indeed.

PURIFYING THE JURY SYSTEM

The recent trials and convictions in Phil.
adelphia of the characters known rs "iury.
iiSers' have stimulated attention rrctty
generally throughout the country, towards
the many abuses in the great Jury system,
We have been in the habit of priding our.
selves upon the possession of this wonderful
instrument of justice and equity, and have
often delighted to refer to Il In such
eNtravagant terms as the "bulwark of lin.
crty' and other equally high.soundnr
phrases, There may have been times when
such praise was not unmeritcd, and the
average Jury could be depended upon
for a fair, intelligent aud correct verdict.
but the dcpravity OF the times and
the history of the courts within the last
few years have taught us not to be too
sanguinc that the twelve pccrsr would do
just as they ought to under the circum.
stances. Indeed II has become a common
piece of pleasantly to remark that "notmnr
is so uncertain as the finding of jury"
Undoubtedly this fact springs from the al.
most universal presence now of corrupt or
interested parties on tho panel, who man.
age In majority of cases, to slip into the
box In spite of the utmost watchfulness on
the part Of counsel. We all know the re.
suit. Mistrials, acquittals, errors In the yer.
diets, convictions, occur when there existed
no earthly excuse for them. Then, of course.
indignation arises on the part OF those &C.
quainted with the facts, and a general dis.
trust ensues of the Justice or efficacy Of the
system. The professional, I" too, Is grca,
source of annoyance or dilatory or wrong.
deing, and until, from one end of the coun.
try to another, broader wisdom Is displayed

MINeo JUNCTION, July 30.-At $3.50 o clock
this afternoon the body of Albert Snow,
the last victim of the Scioto disaster, was
recovered. 1t was found under the upper
guard. His left leg had been crushed from
the knee down and one hand almost esered
from the wrist, and deep cut on the back
part of his head and right side. His age is
twenty. He leaves brother aud sister.
A married man by the name OF Sidney
Burroughs, from East Liverpool, has not
been seen since July Sd. He told his sister
Ire was going on an excursion on the 4th.
The Scioto cannot account for the body OF
Snow being found on the upper guards OF
the boat A rumor was out last week that
the diver, Earhart, was working in the in
terest of the boat, and that the bodies
were showed out a hole in the
boat. The reports and actions seem to
make this so, for bodies we're found floating
each day. Perhaps this can account for
Snow being found where he was, or could
not be released 1t was rumored that sew
eral bodies were in the boat when the diver
made his first trip. The next trip it was
contradicted. Bodies, for several days,
we're found not later than SA.A

KEYsER, w. Va, July lion yesterday
Abraham Stickley, living near Bridgeville,
this county, engaged in lime burning, was
instantly killed while excavating rock. He,
with an assistant, was getting out the lime
stone above the kiln when huge stone
became tottercd and fell on the unfor-
tunate man, horribly crushing his head.
The deceased was about sixty years OF age,
hard working and kind hearted man. An
aged wife and dependent sister-in'law will
miss him sadly.
Frank Berry, OF Frankfort district, who

Carly X Co.'S bark works, on Patterson's s
creek, narrowly escaped a horrible fate
few days since. The trench was about fif.
teen feet deep, and the side suddenly caved
in, precipitating many tons OF earth into
the pit from which the laborers barely had
time 10 escape. Death would have been
inevitable had not some one on the banks
observed the break and gave the men warn

output averages about 800 tons.
Grain harvest is about finished in this

much as supposed by insects, but rust in
some localities has damaged it more. Oats
