SOUTH WASHINGTON.

Tho foul condition of the cutter ut tho inter.
section OF First and q etreets IL n cause OF
considerable complaint by the residents of tho
vicinity. Tho society OF the health boss IS
very much in demand.
The new Belgian block pavement on r street
hns reached ms far M First street, and In Il
short time the work Will DO completed tho on
tire distance TO Four and n half street, aul
furnish one OF the best paved thoroughfares
In South Washington.
The foul dcath-breedlng pond on the com.
mons nt the Intersection OF First and II streets
should receive some attention from tho au-
ihorltles. The pest hOlo Is tho receptacle for
damp, warm foil days the atmosphere In It's
vicinity Is laden with vile and .unbenrable OK.

cause OF everlasting complaint to tho citi-
gens OF South Washington Ia tho reckless nogll.
gence OF the of1lcial having tho stroet.llmps In
charge. Tho lamps are mover lighted until
long after dark any night, and persons have to
flnd their way ms best they can without them.
On many OF tho streets the lamps are entirely
too few to bo OF much service anyway. Last
saturday was dark and dismal night, and
long after 8 o'clock not n single lamp was lit
on tho vast stretch between u street southwest
ana Central Market on Seventh street. Tho
night was unusually dark, and walking even
on much froquented street like Seventh
was anything but pleasant TO the large
number o? females that had to 60 to market.
The Smithsonian park had the scenic effect OF
m unpeneirablo country forcst-not q single
light could be seen to flicker among tho trees.
The lamr'lehter should DO compelled TO have
the lamps on all the streets intersectlng tho
parks lit as soon as tho sun goes down. At
present 1t Is positively unsafe for n Indy 20 go
10 market alone Mt night for n desperate
could, with perfect safety 10 himself rush
from among tho trees In tho pltchy darkness
and rob her and escape. Tho parks unllghted
offer very suitable havon for our criminal
classes, and doubtless many of them take ad-
vantage of tho present state OF AFFAIRS. Justice
TO the public demands that tho lights at least
on Seventh street be III at an early hour on
Saturday night for then crowds OF lonely
females arc forced to move about
About o'clock on Sunday VIII Clements,
brutal-looklng colOrod man, went to tho resi-
dence OF his lady love, Louisa Gordon, on L
street, between First and Second streets, and
proceeded to harrass her for money, although
the woman was sick in bed. Sergeant Nokes
ordered Clements away before ho did the
woman any harm.
