the water clear. The young star-fish
lacks experience and the oysters make
1t rather uncomfortable for them by
catching their rays between the shells
and pinching them off.
One old fisherman tells Of fight be-

which he saw last season. 1t was a
fight "to q finish," and one the like OF
which he never saw before. The
young starfi5h approached the open
oyster and slowly settled down upon
1t. The shell sprang together with a
snap and the fish. which had settled

A Meadow Nuisance Likely to BE Abated
Reports and Permits.
The County Board of Health feels salts
fled that the Chancellor will direct the
New York Horse Manure Company to
abate its nuisance. At the meeting of the
of the company, asked the Board to enter
into some arrangement with him that
will permit him to continue storing
manue on the meadows. He has stored
there at present 10000 tons, the greater
portion of which will sent to South Jer-
sey as ordered by the farmers.
The Board declined to take any action
In the matter until the Chancellor had
made a decision in the Injunction asked
for. This conclusion was far from pleas
ing to Mr.. Shandley.
doctor Larkey asked by letter If
he must file with the Board a diploma to
practice the massage treatment. and the
clerk was directed to tell him he must.
The clerk reported that during the
month there had been thirty five cases of
d~iphtheria, fifteen, scarlet fever; seven
membraneons Group; one typhoid fever,
and n of measles.
Inspector Saltonstall also informed the
Board that out of q list of about q score
of sunken lots in Hoboken, the owners of
but five had begun to fill them up. The
report was referred to counsel for action.
Counsellor Winfield notified the Board
that Recorder Schleicher had fined
Charles F. Hoeing 500 for practicing
medicine without a license, aad that he
had prepared the papers in the case of
DR.. Lawrence and they are now ready for
the Grand Jury. Lawrence is said to be
practicing without having registered in
this county.
Counsel farther said DIR. Josiah Horn
blower declared positively that he never
attended MaryL. McDermott, of No. 554
Bergen avenue, who died of scarlet fever,
and for that reason had no cause to re-
port the case. The Board will endeavor
to ascertain who the physician was that
failed to make the report.
Herman Muir, of the Heights, said he
had been notified by the Board that his
architect had caused earthen waste pipes
be used instead of iron as the law
provides. He declared that it was
simply a mistake, for he had consulted
prominent plumbers before using the
earthen pipes when he built his houses,
and had been told by them that earthen
pipes were generally used. He did not
know of the law until the work had been
done. His case and several similar ones
were laid over for consideration.
