The GOOD Mr. Kern.

The revelations of outraged citizens
regarding the n in which the
Avenue E sewer has been miscon-
structed will hardly give much aid or
comfort to Mr.. Kern and his kickers
in their great work of reorganizing-
especially purifying and reforming
the Democratic party. The remons-
trance Of the citizens, presented to the
new Board of Works yesterday, de-
clared that the sewer had not been
built according to contract, and is SO
deficient in many parts that the rock
protrudes through it's sides, and has
already caved in in many places. 1t is
obstructed by timbers and planks,
which have almost choked it here and
there. The manholes are above grade,
and the receiving basins are full of
sand and debris, and SO poorly son
structed that bricks can be taken out
with the hand.
The proper connections have not
been made as called for in the con
tracts, and the collector has charged
several persons for making the con-
nection. The remonstrance also de-
clares that a much larger area should
have been assessed for the improve
ment.
If Mr.. Kern is so fond of purity and
reform, and other nice, things, why
did he allow the old Board of Works,
of which he was the boss, to permit
and pay for such scandalous work as
thisg Mr.. Kern had better mend his
own record before he tackles that of
any other democrat.

from lumbago and rheumatism, and
on Thursday, at Marlborough House,
it was quite apparent with what diff
Guilty she walked, even with the aid of
the arm of the Prince of Wales and
her stick. She had not recovered
from the chill caught during the jour
ney from Scotland, She hardly stood
at all at Marlborough House, and her
Indian attendant was close at hand
all the time to give her a chair, She
looked tired and was very red in the
face, though very gracious and in good
spirits. She wore her usual black
Gown. and the suite with her wore
black also. But there seemed to be a
little more white feather than usual in
her bonnet and it has white strings.
1T is curious that, in spite of her
diminutiye size and not highbred ap-
pearance, no one has more grace and
dignity than the Queen, and when she
speaks, moves about or smiles, II
| quite loses consciousness of the fact
that she is a very small and not a
| g~ood-looking old lady. Nothing is
| more charming than to see the Prince
of Wales with the Queen; his manne
| is so tender, deferential and affection

such care, attending her every want
and suggesting anything which he
thinks will please her. He walked
very slowly and carefully with her on
Thursday, for it evidently panied her,
and she had difficulty in mounting
the steps from the garden into MARI

walk a step ahead OF her and help
her up.

 PoUGHKEEPsIE, N. Y, Jan. 5.-One of the men who aided in the murder of Pay master J. B. Mcclure and his assistant, Hugh Flanagan, near Wilkesbarre, Pa., short time ago. and robbed them of S12, 900, has been arrested, and has made a confes- sion. He is an Italian, and is known as Red Nosed Mike" He was arrested in Phil adelphia on suspicion, but there was not sufficient evidence to hold him. He came from Philadelphia to this county and got work on new railroad connecting with the Poughkeepsie bridge
 Pinkerton detective disguised as an Italian laborer came here and secured work alongside of him. He got enough informa- tion from Mike to warrant his rearrest and induced him to visit Philadelphia again. The two men went there Wednesday night of this week. Then Mike was arrested and he made two other Italians connected with the mur- der, and said they, too, were at work in this county.
 Accordingly, Capt. Dougherty, of the Philadelphia police, and two or three Pinker- ton men, came here, and with Detectives Scanlan and McCabe of the New York Gen. tral and Hudson River railroads, and Officer Decker, of this city, secured special train and went to Stanfordville, where it was said the Italians were working, but when they got there they were told that the men they wanted had gone to Italy. The detectives returned to New York on an afternoon train

 PITTSBURG, Jan. 5.-One of the biggest land deals on record has been consummated with the Brazilian government by Pittsburg, New York and Washington capitalists. The principal object of the promoters of the scheme is to open up valuable diamond and gold fields in far western Brazil. A company with capital of s2, 100000 is fin process of formation The grant is for between 5O,OOO and 6O,O acres of land bordering the Amazon river in the region of the Andes mountains The idea is to first send an exploring party to the company's grant. The party will include expert miners, sappers and scientists. The party will remain a year and make ex- haustive surveys and researches.
 A young man in Allegheny who has spent considerable time in Brazil says the natives each year bring great quantities of gold and precious stones to the settlements from the vicinity indicated. The land is situated near point where, according to tradition, the ancient Peruvians found millions of dollars worth of gold, a portion of which was carried away by foreign army which invaded the country. Pension agent William Barclay, of Pittsburg, is a prominent mem- Der of the company, and it is also said that three government officials in this city be- sides Mir.
