CURRENT COMMENT.

The press of the state has fallen
into the very natural error that the SUI
preme court decision in the matter of
the test of validity of wheat option con-
tracts is final. 1t was the case of Oscar
Mohr against Anton Miesen, and it
merely came before the supreme court
on an appeal from the court below on
the denial of motion for new trial
However, the temper of the syllabus
and opinion, given by Justice Wander
burgh, very plainly indicates that the
court holds that deals ostensibly for
future deliveries, but without expecta-
ton or intention on the part of either
party to the transaction is illegal.

LoSd BRANCH, j., Aug. 25.-An oflcer
from here has to-day gone to Baltimore with
extradition papers from GOV. Albeit, to
bring back Peter bowling, alias Downs who
is charged with the murder OF Robert II
Hamilton on Jan. 10, 1888.
Hamilton was an old and trusted servant OF
Anthony j. DreXel, OF the flrm OF Drexel,

cottage at the Branch during the family's alb

Hamilton was found unconscious and bleed.

Bowling and Potter were seen leaving the

A MATTRESS IN JAMES STREET.

In such cases the sturdy cartman would
dump the receiver into the cart, drop 1t
empty upon the sidewalk, and then with an
Indifference refreshingly cool for such hot
day, would pass on, utterly ignoring the other
barrelful that had over1owed and lay upon
the sidewalk.
When all was done and the cartmen, happy

Another old resident OF the same thorough
fare, who carries on dairy and vegetable
commission business, ana who did not wish
his name made public when asked how often
Mr.. Beattie's carts cleaned up vesey street,
replied:
"Why, bless your soul, they only remove the
stun about every two or three days. The
man with the street-sweeping machine comes
around every day and gathers the stun into
little hears, but the carts do not take 1t away
for some time afterwards
90 These streets should be cleaned once a
day at the very least. The accumulations OF
one day are something enormous, and when
the farmers come around here at night they
leave pile OF garbage in the shape OF rotten
and crushed vegetables and other stun that
they cannot get rid Of II is my private
opinion that Mr.. Beattie doesn't understad

tion things were far different around here.

blhT IN FRONT OF W JAMES STREET,
"They hardly ever do empty the cans unless
they are chokin' full"
The reporter asked a street-cleaning cart
man whom he met on another street why oil
the garbage cans were not emptied by the
carriers,
Well SIR" he replied, az wouldn't like ye
TO mention my name, for It might lose me my
job; but we get paid by the day. SO much
day-but Beattie he fixes so many loads at the
dumps to make day, depending on the dl&
trict and the distance to the dumps Now,
the stint in some districts is so big that man
has to work twelve hours day to get in the
number OF loads at the dumps, and, you see,
it's quite natural for the men to empty
the full barrels that NIL up the cart
quickly and leave those that haven't much in
them. That's why the cartmen don't go out
of their path to pick up old wash-boilers,
shoes, stovepipe, big stones, dead cats and all
that. Sometimes in their hurry, they don't
touch small heaps OF dirt, and they can't stop
TO scrape garbage on the curbstone.
"Prob'ly those men you saw in Henry
street were hurrying to make up their stint
for the day. You can't blame 'em. You see
Beattie had no experience in such work, and
he only guesses at what he thinks is q days
work"
A few hours after the cartmen had carted
away the dirt " in that Henry street block a
gang OF men with brooms appeared there and
made new heaps OF NTH to lie there for three
or four days, waiting for another visit from
the carts.
James street was yesterday afternoon an
other example OF the splendid execution OF
the present unsystematic system OF street
cleaning.
There was q straw bed in the narrow road
way opposite No. 90, and Fred Brasser, who
is building a store on the block, said that 1t
had been there since last Friday, though the
Street, Cleaning Department swept the street
Saturday morning
"They dout carry half the stun away"
said Mr.. Brasser. "They left that box
Saturday morning. and they LEFT all these
heaps OF nasty, Shiny muck that adorn the
street"
A. Cammino, a fruiterer, at No. go, coin
cided with Mr.. Brasser. and pointed out a
mountain OF miscellaneous articles under a
wagon, saying:
"They never take anything under the
wagons. They just hurry through, and that's
how they missed the heaps OF stun In front OF
so many places"
Christian Koch, at No. "a, said: "They
come once or twice week, but they don't

HOW THEY LEAVE THE DIRT BEHIND.
Indeed, an EVENING WORLD reporter, on his
rounds as Street Inspector for the People,
found one instance in which the "horse
sense" order OF things had been reversed and
the sweepers were actually following the
carts
The reporter revisited n particularly neg
lccted block in Henry street, where he had
noted Thursday mounds OF muck, garbage
and ashes, and the whole block was strewn
besides with boxes, shoes, hats dead cats,
barrel slaves, broken baskets, dilap pidated tin
ware, collapsed furniture and the like.
By several witnesses he had learned that
these heaps had been made by sweepers
Wednesday morning.
The second visit was Friday afternoon, an
the reporter came upon the block between
Pike and Rutgers streets Just as two cart
men were making believe gather up the dirt
on that block.
These men were sturdy fellows and they
worked with rush. They dumped overflow
ing garbage-barrels into the carts and shov-
elled out several small mountains of Nth
from the cutters, but
They LEFT more than they took away. Many
pile that wouldn't more than fll bushel
basket was left-sometimes after scrutiny by
the cartman.
They were not big enoughl
Tnen here and there was garbage re-
ceiver that had been congested, and had
spewed rOtting vegetables, ashes and cast-on
articles upon the curbstone.
