A Dangerous NuIsance.

To THE EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE My
attention has been frequently called to the
horrible stencil arising from the open sewer
at Fourth and Poplar streets. In passing
the sewer / wonder how the residents live
there. This sewer carries all the filth from
Poplar street and the cross streets, nearly to
the Brandywine, toge ther with all the filth
washed down Walnut street and the cross
streets running into the sewer being con-
Quoted down Fourth street, from Walnut.
All the filth from slaughter house is
emptied into this receptacle, and, to increase
the nuisance, number of cesspools have
recently been drained into 1t from new
houses erected several squares above. The
sewer is entirely open from Fourth to Third
streets, in the rear of the houses on Poplar.
This nuisance should be abated at once. The
residents should be protected from this vile
sink hole. 1t not only d. stroys their COM
fort, but it deprecates the value of real
estate. Some years ago there was a trap
in the opening at Fourth and Poplar streets,
which prevented the stencil from annoying
the residents, Tut the trap was taken out
by the Street Commissioner for some
cause, and the sewer left with the large
vicinity. In its present condition it is not
only injurious to health, but it in great
measure destroys business; depreciates the
value of property, and renders the homes of
the people sickening and unhealthy. 1t is
time this nuisance was abated by the proper
authorities and the residents given that pro-
lection which they have right to demand.

The Recent Expulsion of an American
from st. Petersburg


LONDON, August 22.-The Times corre-
spondent at st. Petersburg, in his dispatch
referring tU the expulsion from st. Peters
burg of an American Jew, In accordance
with the law forbidding Jews to live in that
city, says 1t is not likely that the Russian
officials have been over strict in such
cases, in view of the repeated protests by
the British and American Governments in
regard to the treatment of the Jews. The
Jew who was expelled declined to ask the
Prefect as a favor to allow him to remain
until he had transacted his business, as he
could not demand such treatment as right.
The correspondent adds that as the Jewish
difficulty is more of an economical than a
religious one there is little prospect of the
removal OF the prohibition against Jews liv-
ing III st. Petersburg or Moscow. The
thousands OF Jews who do live in both
places either belong to the privileged class
or skillfully evade compliance with the law.

HEAVY HITTING AT QUICK
STEP PARK.
THE HOME CLUB WINS AGAIN.
The Trenton Club Defeated by score of
I6 to 1O-A Game Marked by Heavy
Batting and Fine Plays.

Again the Quicksteps walked into the
Trenton yesterday. Valentine scared the
boys no more than Harkins, and they pun
ished him as he has never been since he first
commenced to pitch ball. Nearly everyone
had their batting clothes on and, had it not
been that the little pitcher of the Quick
steps was tired out and unaccustomed to
pitching two games in suc.,es-
sion, a bad shut out would have
been given the Jersey boys. He
become ratified somewhat in the third and
fourth innings by fielding errors, but picked
up again after that and settled down to hard
work
Poor Valentine, the way the boys opened
up on him was a caution. They knocked
him the first inning for SIX hits and five
runs. The next inning 1t was four more,
and in the seventh Ave more were made.
For the home club Kienzel had four
singles, Benners two singles and double,
Fox brace of doubles and a single, Albert
a brace of three baggers and single, HI nry
two singles and double, Snyder two singles
and all the rest one each. The fielding of
O'Brien at second was simply perfect and
Kienzel caught two hard flies at centre
and threw splendidly. Snyder at first was
superb and has no equal anywhere. Waitt
covered the usual amount Of ground at left
and played good game. Fox and Albert
made good stops at third and short. st.
Lawrence caught Henry excellently and un-
derstands him thoroughly.
For the Trentons, Bastian at second played
an excellent game. Lynch caught without
passed ball, and made some great catches
of fly tips. Goodman, though poor in the
field, did some fine batting, having brace
of doubles and two singles. Lynch, Quin..
ton and Valentine also batted well. The
follnwing is the score In detail:

A DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
The Empire Oil Works DestrOyed-Nearly
Half a Million Loss


NEW YORK, August 22.-Fire broke out
shortly after II O'Clock this morning in the
packing room of the Empire Oil Works,
Long Island city. The shop is brick struc-
ture, $50 feet by 700 feet. Over 100 men
and boys are employed in the shop, and
the widest excitement prevailed among
them. The flames spread rapidly
and the shop was soon a seeth-
ing mass of flames, with which the local fire
department was totally liable to cope. The
tin shop, building IT'S by $50 feet, next
caught fire, and was followed by the barrel
shop, about the same size. The flames next
spread to one of the largest agitators in the
yard, containing SO, 600 barrels of oil.
The Brooklyn fire department was called
on for aid, and several engines promptly re-
sponded, but although they worked hard
the flames spread in every direction. The
Howe Lard Oil Works were in great
danger. Pat. Cooney, a workman, was
very badly burned, and three other
workmen were also injured severely.
Jas. Glare was badly injured by a falling
wall. The fire is believed t. have been
caused by workman accidentally dropping
a hot soldering-iron into an oil-can. The
fire burned fercely throughout the after
noon, and was not subdued until O'Clock.
The efforts of the fremen prevented the
flames from spreading beyond the buildings
occupied by the company on whose premises
the fire broke out. The damage is variously
estimated at from 100000 to $500, ,000
There was no insurance. When the fire
broke out there were several vessels at the
company's docks. Some of them were
loaded with oil. Fortunately two tugboats
were near at hand and the vessels were
towed out of danger.

and arrested ten of the rioters. The town is
now quiet, the authorities being in the
supremacy. The cowboys, however, are still
ugly and threaten to make further trouble.
