LETTER FROM CLAYMONT, DEL.

Claymont is situated on the line of the r. W.
and b. Baroad 10 miles from Philadelphia, 8
from Wilmington, and less than half mile from
Mason and Dixon's line. The farm land ad iacent
is excellent, that next the river being low, grad
nally rising until quite an elevation is reached;
This ridge or series of hills runs about parallel
with the river, between the city of Wilmington
and Philadelphia, and affords excellent building
sites, with full view of the Delaware, which is
two miles wide opposite here, presenting an ever
changing panorama Of views. The largest ocean
steamers ply regularly, while hundreds of steam
boats sailing vessels tugs, yachts, down to the
small sail boats, are constantly moving to and fro.
The tides are high, being from to feet between
Quite number of Philadelphans have built
handsome residences along the ridge, finding this
more convenient place to live than many parts
of Philadelphia. For instance, if one lives in
West Philadelphia and has business in the
centre of the city he can get to it In one hour
by street cars. BY living here, 10 miles away, he
can reach the business portion OF the city in As
minutes over the elevated road. Moreover, the
pleasant cars, with soft upholstery, and conve-
nient in every particular run by the Pennsylvania
Road are far superior to the street cars with
slow-plodding worn-out horses for an engine
No wonder therefore, that men up to the times
Of this rapid age get as far from the city posi-
BILE after the weary cares OF the day, the bracing
country air affording an elixir, strengthening and
agreeable. Among the gentlemen who live here
and have very handsome summer houses note
Mr.. d. 9. Wharton Smith. identified with the
progressive interests of Hartford county, where
he was born Mr. Smith is a most agreeable gem
teman, bright and active and has business in
terests In several States. His kind, liberal and
HlOsb ndRuHCeut WOTh at IihklO Will uot
soon be forgotten by the good people of that
place. Mr.. Smith is now building a handsome
dwelling in the suburbs of Darlington. Mr. j.
Kent Worthington, a Hartford gentleman by
birth, has magnificent home in Claymont He
is member of the Stock Board Of the, Philade-
phia Exchange, and a gentleman of whom Har-
ford may well feel proud.

Dirt and Disease.

The relations between cause and eff
feet are not more intimate than those
of filth and disease. The alarming
mortality from smallpox in Montreal
is not wholly due to the contempt of
French-Canadians for vaccination, but,
in part, to the fact that they mostly
live in defiance of all sanitary regula-
tons. The poorer quarters of Mon
treal, which are mainly inhabited by
this class of people, have long been
hot-beds not only for smallpox, but
for diphtheria and other dread diseases.
The authorities of that city have been
extremely negligent in compelling a
regard of sanitary conditions. There
are other places-too many of them
where the authorities are as careless or
inefficient in respect to the adoption of
necessary precautions against the crea-
ton and spread of epidemic and conta-
gious diseases, but leave very much to
chance. Experience has demonstrated
that no ordinary measures can effectually
protect any community from the advent
of smallpox or cholera, unless proper
sanitary conditions can be secured in
each city and village and in each individ-
ual household. What may be done for
the public health by cleaning city of its
! filth has been well exhibited in Rome,
which was formerly an unhealthy place,
but is now regarded as the healthiest of
all the large cities of Italy. BY strict
attention to cleanliness and proper
drainage for several years, what was
once the filthiest and least healthy
quarter of the city has been made the
most salubrious. What has been done
in Rome, London and other European
cities, may be done in all American
cities and villages. OF course it costs
something to make thorough sanitary
improvements, but wiser expenditure
of money cannot be made.

ployed by a Minneapolis law firm in
Brainerd's behalf, had a hand in the
business; and it is probable that Brain
erd will make all haste to return to
British territory.
1t was reported by Brainerd's friends
in Colorado, last spring, that he would
voluntarily return to st. Adams and
take his chances on the indictments
pending against him, charging him
with numerous violations of the Trust
Company charter and with embezzle-
ment. But it is now apparent that he
prefers to embarrass his bondsmen and
remain fugitive from justice rather
than to take any chances of conviction
or acquittal upon the charges against
him. Early last spring Sheriff Ken
nedy and States Attorney Burleson of
Franklin county, armed with requisi-
ton from the governor of this state,
went to Denver, where Brainerd was
supposed to be residing, to secure his
appearance at the April term of the
county court. They found he had not
been living in Denver for some time,
but was stopping in Cheyenne. Brain
erd, having been notified by Denver
friends that officers were in pursuit of
him, disappeared from Cheyenne some
twenty-four hours before Kennedy and
Burleson were able to reach that place,
and they were compelled to return home
without him. 1t is supposed that he
went directly to Winnipeg, where he
has since resided under an assumed
name and given out that he was an
American Spectator.
The capture of Brainerd in the man.
ner stated in the first reports is re-
garded by many good lawyers as vio-
lation of international law; and if he
had not escaped the Dominion govern
ment might have deemed it advisable
to demand his return, though it has
paid little attention to similar cases of
abduction. But it is held by some law
yers that, inasmuch as it is a funda-
mental principle that bondsmen can
call for principal at any time or from
any place, regardless of boundary lines,
there has been no violation of interna-
tional law in this case. If Brainerd
was not kidnapped, as stated in the
later reports of the affair, but consented
to go with the detectives, no question
could be raised about the legality OF
the arrest But whatever may be the
circumstances of the case, Brainerd is
not an object for public sympathy.
