To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Now that We have had q new deal in the
health Office the residents of the vicinity of

another united effort to get abated frst-class
nuisance in the shape of deep hole. which is
constantly filed with death-dealing pool of
ill-smelling water. singular TO state this
abominable nuisance was created by the Dis

ment have received not the slightest attention
The members Of our household pay over $500
annual taxes and In other respects are consid-
cred law-abijing citizens, but the blind and
deaf gentlemen who manipulate city affairs on

not worthy of attention. i have now living

drunken fellow named John Burns at Queen.
ston. Ontario, on Sunday. Burns was pretty
well intoxicated and crawled out on the old
Suspension bridge, which spans the niagara
river above Lewiston. He posed on . cable for
a moment and then leaped of. The distance
to the river Is over $50 feet and Burns struck
ON his back Some companions saw the fool
hardy feat and thought that the shock had
killed him. His body began to float down the
stream and in few moments his hands began
to move. A boat put out and rescued Burns,
who apparently was none the worse for the
jump. He said the shock dxzed him at first

Proposed Consolidation Of Trunk IL

special to the New York Recorder from
Montreal says a rumor was in circulation there
last night Of a movement for the amalgama-
ton of the two great Canadian railways. the
Canadian Pacific and the Grand Trunk. 1t
cannot be traced TO any reliable source, but
the fact that Duncan Mcintyre, one Of the lar
gest holders Of Canadian Pacific stock, has ac-
cepted a seat on the board Of directors Of the
Grand Trunk and that W. G. Van Horne presi-
dent of the former company, sailed on We'd
nesdsy for England gives color Of truth to
the rumor.

ST. PAGL'S REREDOS.


The famous st. Paurs Cathedral reredos
case was dismissed yesterday in the court
OF appeals in London with costs against the
appellants This was the appeal Of '.Allcroft
and others" against decision Of the bishop Of
London, and has been a subject Of great in
terest to churchmen and others since the
litigation was commenced in 1888. The ques-
ton raised was as to the legality of the figures
in the reredOs or wall at tine back Of the altar
of St. Pauls Cathedral, the contention Of the
appellants being that the sculptured figures Of
our Saviour and o. the Virgin Mary in
the reredos were calculated to encourage
superstition and to suggest unlawful ideas Of
devotion. The decision sustains the bishop
who held that this contention was not well
founded and consequently insures the reten-
ton Of the figures in the reredos.
