Improvements in street Car Service.

The management of the Street Car
Company is certainly progressive
enough. Heretofore they gave one the
longest ride in the country for five
cents" but they now propose to furnish
the patrons of the cars with reading
matter as well, in order that the few
minutes of ones journey may be profit
ably employed. This is one of the re-
suits of the operations of the Globe Con-
tract Company. That company now in
tends to put advertisements in the cars,
and thus endeavor to make one ever
think of the danger from fire and burg
lars. However, the signs will be neat,
and will probably not be objected to as
much as the double track on North
Main street.

Dead Animals Above the City.

To the Ed0Cr ~ TIE Rt9sftr.
Sm:-I was surprised to read in yester-
days SUNDAY REGISTER statement to the
effect that it was dog instead of hog
which was reported as lying in the edge Of
the river at SlacktOwn on Friday evening.
] do not see that il makes any difference
which il was, as either would pOlute the
water supply, but as the subject also in
wolves the question of the yaracity of sew
eral people, desire TO make the following
statement Of facts. On Wednesday or
Thursday of last week a gentleman who
lives in the neighborhood of Slacktown,
and whose name, | believe, is Lasch, re-
ported to me that dead hog was lying in
the edge of the river in the bend above
SlacktOwn. II being outside of the
city limits | did not investigate.
But on Friday my attention was
again called to it, when in
company with Mr.. Thos NJ Darrah, clerk
of the Board Of Public Works, | went up
the river to the point designated and found
the dead animal as previously described.
Both Dr.. Darrah and myself saw the hog,
which was large one, in an advanced state
of decomposition. No effort was made to
remove it until the papers published the
facts Saturday morning. In the meantime
the river had risen several inches and car
ried the hog off. Mr.. Darrah and myself
were informed by some of the citizens of
the neighborhood that it was no uncommon
thing to see the carcasses of other animals,
such as COWS and horses, washed upon the
shore at this point. BY giving this place
in your columns. you will greatly obligc,
