diners Case-Etc.
since the cholera scare has taken hold of
the people of this city, and the flthiness of
Chinatown has been exposed by the press,
the new Health Officer has been very vigilant
in ferreting out all nuisances and arresting
all those who are violating the health ordi-
nsnces. The police calendar has been full of
such charges for the past week, and there
seems to be disposition on the part of the
Judge to impose severe penalties upon those
who defy the laws, not only of the State, but
of common decency, and cause the very
air we breathe to be laden with
nOxious and deadly gases and vapors.
Yesterday Daniel Gardiner, who had been
convicted of maintaining filthy and disease
breeding vault, appeared in Court for SEN
tencs. The Court took occasion to remark
that he did not wish the light sentence he
was about to impose IN the case be taken as a
precedent, or for the idea to go abroad that
parties convicted in the future of similar
Offense would get off 50 lightly. His reason,
he said, for making such a statement was be-
cause this WAS the first conviction since pub.
lie warning had bsen given. The judgment
in GARDENERS case was fine of $50 and
costs. Mr.. Gardiner evidently was not pleased
with the judgment of the Court, "a be

kept hopping until the wee small hours,
when they dispersed, well pleased with the

wagon bearing eight couple, the elite snd
beauty of Washington, broke down in the
midst of the dusty road when half way
home. One OF the young ladies remarked
that as long as they were compelled to walk
home, she did not propose to make of herself

but preferred being 8 grass-hoppsr. They
took her advice and hoped over the fields.
