Pure Air.

The atmosphere is most important factor
in disease. 1t is always contaminated with
dust containing minute particles which cause
putrefaction and fermentation. 1t is now as
serted that these cause all malarial and COL
tarious diseases. Stagnation in the atmos
phere acts as stagnation in water, which
every one knows is unwholesome. The body
requires vast amount of air, and the poi
sons cast off by the human system are dead
ly. If breathed over and over again they are
,!cleterious to the strongest constitution. De-
lective sewer pipes are perhaps the most Sc
rious cause of fevers. These should receive
immediate attention as soon as bad odors are
detected. Especially, let the house be well
and frequently aired and its impurities swept
way, as the tide draws off the drainage of a
city and carries 1t out to the ocean.

THAT VENERABLE PILE. A Few Words From a We'll Known Citizen on the old State House O Ques-

tion.
 I wish to say few words in reference to the State House. I came here when young from a foreign cline. I commenced business when young, and had hard struggle to es- tablish my business and bring it to it's pres ent state. I began business in Torrington, Conn.,, and removed to New Haven seventeen 1or eighteen years ago and had my place of business first in Audubon street, then on Ar 'tisan street (where my entire business was destroyed by fire at great loss), then on Grapevine Point, then to it's present place on State street, corner of Mill River street. I have travelled considerably on business in the United States. I have been visited at my shop by many gentlemen from distant places in the United States, from. Canada and from England. have taken many of them about the city and shown them the colleges, the old Green, the crypt under Center church, etc., and told them fragments of our history as illustrated by sights and relics of our colonial times. But when I show them the State House they ask in sur prise: "Why don't you preserve it2 Why don't you repair it and keep it from further decay7 It is a noble edi6ce; a fine landmark.
 It has an historical importance. It is of
 D0autiIui ueslSu why, aL0 dSIouIsncO that you should think of demolishing it. It
 is certainly worth preserving. It is not a ruin. It is a substantial, well built struc-
 ture which could be made to last long time
 by spending little money on it." When
 they say this I can make no answer. hang
 my head for shame. What is the element
 that seeks to destroy this fine buildings It is the vandal element in human
 nature. It is also in part the bad element that comes across the Atlantic who favor
 this destruction. What do they care about
 historical buildingss They do what the ward
 politicians tell them. Bad rum is power in
 ward politics in New Haven. Let the Amer
 ican element stand together irrespective of
 party to preserve the old State House and let no foreign element take it upon themselves to decree it's destruction. Let not the ques- ton come to popular vote, because popu- lar vote means beer and whisky, instead of intelligent, in the case. If you don't repair the State House put fence around it and let it stand as 8 gravestone to mark the wisdom and taste of former generation. Few, indeed, are those who come here from Europe who swear allegiance to the constitu- ton of the United States who have ever read a word of that constitution, yet they have the same power a voter as Governor Bigelow or Governor English. Now, why should a foreigner who comes here, and who is totally ignorant of the constitution of the United States, have the power to rule this country which they did not establish, and exclude from office men whose ancestors founded this free land of libertys

General MfIes fna0ueer Fix,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-The extraordina- " situation in which General Miles is placed by the annual report of the Secretary of War, which specifically charges him with disobedience of orders in accepting the sur render of the Apaches, is the theme of con- versation and gossip in army circles. Re ferring to the subject to day the Post says: According to the army regulations Miles should be at once placed under arrest and tried by court martial, but he is at large,i en- tertained ct dinner as the honored guest of the Secretary and is receiving marked attention from other official sources. Just what it all means no one seems to know. An impres- sion prevails in military circles that Miles is 8 scapegoat for somebody. The general is as silent as the grave about it and all his friends can get out of him is a pensive smile and an assurance that it will all be explained in a little while

A Horrible Murder Unearthed by
 Supposed Case of Body Snatching.

A Horrible Murder Unearthed by a
 Supposed Case Of Body Snatching.
 BALTIMORE, Dec. 12.-The case of supposed body snatching reported last night turns out to be one of the most brutal murders on rec ord. The ghastly wounds found upon the body which was brought to the Maryland university for purposes of dissection puzzled the physicians and aroused suspicious of foul play so great that they notified the police. Detectives worked upon the case all last night and to-day. This afternoon they ar- rested Anderson Perry (colored), the assistant janitor at the Maryland university, merely as feeler. Perry got frightened and imparted such information as to cause the arrest to- night of John T. Ross and Albert Hawkins, both negroes. The three men were placed and tonight made an expose of the whole affair to Chief of Police Frye. The facts are as follows: The woman whose baby was brought to the university was Emi- ly Brown, respectable white woman of fifty
 five years whom dire necessity compelled to take lodgings with 8 colored women in Pig alley. The men who brought the body to the university are John T. Ross and Albert Hawkins, who lived in the same house. Ross met Anderson Perry, the university janitor' on the street last Monday. Moss told Perry that he was out of work and had no money. "Well," said Perry, ttyou need not be out of money. Kill that old white woman at your house and bring the body to the university and I'll give you $15" At first Ross was mortified at the idea, but the $15 was too great temptation. He was afraid to at tempt the job alone so he let Albert Flaw kins into the secret, who assented to the plan proposed to deliberately murder poor help less woman for $15. The two iends watched their chance. The colored woman who own ed the house left home Tuesday morning. Ross and Hawkins went to Emily Browns room. Ross struck the woman on the head with brick and Hawkins stabbed her. Ross continued to beat her on the head and Hawkins pounded her chest with his heel until she was dead. They then went to the university and after telling Perry what they had done got a sack in which they brought the murdered woman's body to the university that night. Perry at once took the body to the pickling room, where he shaved off the hair from the body and so disfigured the face and head as to give out the idea that it had been eaten by rats The three men, Perry, Ross and Hawkins, are locked up tonight at the western station and will be transferred to jail tomorrow.

 NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-George Hillen's 1iq- uor saloon in Park Row, adjoining the en- trance to the Brooklyn bridge, was robbed of $1.200 early this morning by burglars who had concealed themselves in the building be- fore midnight.
