IT is understood that Mayor Bryson
has very set and well-defned views
about the matter of disposing of the city
sewage. He says he will not approve
OF any ordinance which grants money for
the purpose of receiving and disinfectine
the sewage by any process now in use,
because he does not believe that such pro-
cess is suited to this city, or the best that
can be adopted. He believes in an outfall
sewer to the sea, and with reference to
the utilization of the sewage for irrigation
and fertilization of the lands between the
city and the ocean, he would favor the
establishment of gates in the sewer
at the points from which the parties
requiring it would wish to take it. His
idea is that system indispensable to
fiat cities is not needed here. We have
sufficient fall to the ocean to drain our
city thoroughly by gravitation, and he
believes that whatever system we adopt
ought to be carried out on this principle.
1t is the best we can adopt, because it is
natural to our topography, and will
prove the cheapest and most satisfactory
in the end. The Mayor, holding these
views, stands as an effectual barrie r
against the adoption OF the several propo.
sitions that have been before the Coun-
Gil to dispose of the sewage Of the city by
cipage.

The Nebraska admirers of General
Harrison, who sent him sod house as a
memento of their esteem, will have their
noses put sadly out Of joint when they
hear that their present has been SO
cavalierly treated as not to be even &C.
cepted by the President-elect, but let go
to sale to pay for the freight charges.
1t seems that this sod house was got up
on grand scale, and would cover
several acres when set up. If the
General had the true spirit of gratitude
in him he would have paid the freight
and put up the house on his own lot,
even if he had to move his own mansion
to make room for it. What is the use OF
electing President unless you can do
what you like with him? The failure of
the Nebraska fellows ought not
to deter other admirers from showing
their appreciation of Harrison. The Orc
Fino Club here has a chance to distin-
guieh itself, not by sending their stand
ard bearer sod houses, but few acres of
alfalfa, or a whale. A Calaveras big tree
wouldn't be bad Christmas present.

STEAMBOAT disasters of most shock.
ing character have occurred at very short
intervals Of late. But few days ago the
wires gave us an appalling account of the
burning of the steamer Kate Adams, near
Memphis, with the loss of thirty-five
lives. Yesterday we published thrill
ing account of the burning of the steamer
John H. Hanna, near Plaquemjne, on
the Ouachita river. The loss of life was
only less than in the case of the
Adams because there were fewer people
on board. But the dreadful character of
the closing agonies of some of the unfor-
tunates on this steamer are without par
allel in kindred disasters. The Captain,
James s. Holmes, q true man who did his
duty bravely to the last, suffered a terrible
death. In trying to get ashore he became
fastened in the mud, and was held there
whilst the blazing steamer swung around
against the spot whore he was impris-
oned and literally roasted him alive.
The same terrible death was suffered by
others. Scenes like these are too har-
rowing to dwell upon. They are awful
at any time, but one could wish that they
would not come in to mar the good feel
ing created by the holidays.

A rELEGRAPH1c dispatch in the HER
AID this morning contains an account of
what must have been most brutal and
mysterious murder. 1t is that staid and
peaceable community, Philadelphia,
amongst whom it was perpetrated, and
the remains we're found in public park.
These delightful appendages of modern
cities are becoming the scenes OF 80
many murders that we may expect soon
to hear Of their being literally alive with
ghosts. 1.-The tale of the Three
Spaniards" will soon be tame reading
compared with the annals of some of our
beautiful parks.

PHILADELPHIA, December ga party
of boys, while playing in East Fairmount
Park to-day. in the vicinity of the new
city reservoir, found two bundles in q
section of a new 36-inch water main
stored there which contained the mutt
lated remains of human body. Evi-
dently most horrible murder had been
committed. The legs had been cut off
close to the trunk, the left one having
been cut with sharp knife and the bone
sawed through. The other leg was like
wise cut and the bone was partly sawed.
On the trunk were three shirts, the outer
one being made of dark flannel. A
leather strap was around the waist. The
arms were not severed from the body,
but were tied in front at the wrists with
stout cord. The head was crushed in
horrible manner at the back, and there
we're three terrible knife wounds
on the side of the face. The left
jaw was also broken. The body
is evidently that of German, probably
about 35 years of age. Near the place
where the bundles were placed was
found portion of newspaper dated
December 5, the appearance of which
indicated that it had been used for the
purpose of wiping up blood. On the
margin OF the paper was written in Eng
lish-the writing being evidently that Of
a German-the words "Kohler Helab,
Hoboken Hotel" and right under, this
was repeated several times. A portion of
another newspaper stained with blood
was also found. There are wagon tracks
all around the spot, but the police are of
the opinion that they we're made by
wagons hauling material used in the res
ervoir. Tracks, however, appear to have
been made by wheel-barrow, and those
Investigating the case are hopeful that
this may prove clue to aid them in un-
raveling the mystery which now sur
rounds the crime.
Late last night a gardener living on
the border of the park near where the
remains were found was awakened by a
furious barking of his dogs. He seized
his revolver and ran out doors. He saw
an object moving from the direction of
the park and hailed it. Receiving no
reply he went to the Reservoir Hotel
and told the proprietor, John Ernst, who
also went out into the darkness and saw
man walking from the direction of the
reservoir. He called to the man to halt,
but his command received no attention
and the mysterious visitor to the park
disappeared in the darkness. The spot
where the CHASTITY remains were found is
a very lonely one and at this time of the
year is seldom if ever visited by anyone,
and the police therefore think the parties
seen by Ernst and the gardener are con-
nected with the crime which led to the
placing of the body in this neglected
portion of the park.

INDIANAPOLIS, December 26.-General
Harrison was able to give his almost un-
divided attention to work in his library.
being interrupted by but few callers.
His mail does not diminish and it re-
quires good deal Of his time. Some of
them are from old friends and others are
from strangers. His health remains excel
lent and he is able to get through with
an astonishing amount of work. The
weather was stormy and disagreeable,
but it did not prevent him from taking his
usual walk. Senator Spooner arrived
during the afternoon and went at once to
the residence of General Harrison.
where he remained until quite late. He
was the only caller Of special prominence.
He was passing through the city and
stopped off to make call. The General
said there was no political significance in
the visit. Afternoon receptions will not
be resumed until after New Years day.

SO SLEEP THE BRAVE.
LOgan's Remains Removed to Their
Final Resting Place.

WASHINGTON, December 26.-The re.
mains of General John A. Logan were
to-day removed from the Hutchinson
vault in the Rock Creek cemetery, where
they were placed less than two years ago
10 the new Logan chapel in the National
Soldiers Home cemetery. There were
present at the removal, John A. Logan,
Jr., and wife, Major and Mrs. William
Tucker and their son Logan, Mr.. and
Mrs: Daniel Sheppard, and Miss Mary
Brady, of Chicago; Mr.. and Mrs. A. B.
Mullet, Mr.. Hall, formerly Secretary
to General Logan, Rev. G. n.
Curry. of this city, and several
artillery men who for nearly two years
kept constant watch over the remains.
The transfer was made without cere-
mony, and as the little company were
ready to leave the cemetery, John A.
Logan, Jr.. in few words thanked the
guard for their watchfulness and fidelity,
and pinned on the breast of each gold
medal bearing General Logan's head on
one side and an inscription on the other
hanging from bar bearing the word
Fidelity" Logan's remains will be en-.
cased in a steel casket and rest on the
tiled floor in the center of the chapel
visible to the public through the heavy
iron door.

Became Insane over Ris Long Los Z
Child.

CHICAGO, December 26-There was a
sad sequel in court to-day in a case re-
sembling that of the lost Charlie Ross.
The missing child in this instance was
little Tessie Redmond, pretty golden
haired 4-year-old daughter of John Red
mond, a blacksmith. On May z2d last
the child disappeared and since then
all efforts to find traces of her have
been unavailing. The fathers means
were limited, but he spent all the money
he could raise in vain search for the
missing child he himself travelling many
miles on false clues. The poor fellow
travelled over nearly the entire United
States, and the continued strain finally
affected his mind. He was brought here
by friends to-day and taken into the
county court, where the jury determined
him insane and committed him to the
asylum.

2:l7 on the present track, and went to
the half mile pole in :O41s, :O9 gait.
The trouble with Startle was an ulcer in

THERE is only one way to improve the
streets, and that is to quarrel over them
until the rains set in, when it is in order
to rip them up and make them as ugly and
impossible as possible. In this way the
winter may be nicely tided over. Then
when fine weather comes on perhaps
other reasons for delay and procrastina-
ton may carry them over in unfinished
condition till the next rains set in. If
that is not the correct way to do it, how
is it that it has obtained so great vogue
in Los Angeles?

They Failed to Bury Their Secret,

MIDDLETON, N. Y, December 26.-
Early Sunday morning loud explosion
awoke the inhabitants of Rosco, a hamlet
in Sullivan county. Investigation
showed that it had occurred in the sitting
room, adjoining the sleeping apartments
of the Heineman residence, blowing out
the windows and wrecking the interior of
the house. A can containing twenty
five pounds OF powder had been
placed in the house with the
evident intention of destroying the in
mates. Louis Schuster, who lived with
Heineman, was convicted twenty-five
years ago of passing counterfeit money,
and sentenced to seven years imprison-
ment. When he had served five years
he was pardoned by President Grant
and returned home. It was thought
that he was hired not to divulge the
names of his confederates, and that they
now hope to get rid Of him lest he
should tell the secret. Neither Schuster
nor Heineman was injured. .D
