AS TO WOODEN BUILDINGS.
An Important Communication Sent to the
Commissioners.

An Important Communication Sent to the
Commissioners.
The inspector of buildings this morning
wrote an important letter to the Commission
ers regarding wooden buildings He said that
when brick dwellings are about to be erected
adjoining frame ones in nearly every case the
wooden building occupied the full width Of the
lot and frequently extended beyond the party
line onto an adjacent lot. thereby preventing the
builder Of the brick building from the right to
place party wall equally over the line onto
the lot occupied by the wooden building as
defined by the party wall law. In view
of this Mr.. Entwisle recommends that
the attorney for the District be
requested to define the rights Of the
builder Of q brick house in such cases. Under
. decision Of Judge Cox, Mr.. Entwisle says,
he has for five years directed the builders Of
brick buildings in such cases to cut off the
wooden buildings sufficient to place party
wall, holding them to make good all damages to
the wooden buildings. In a case before Judge
Cox last fall, however, he says, the Judge en-
Joined the builder Of brick house
from cutting off the wooden building
for that purpose and certified the
case to the Court In General Term. Both parties
to the suit, Mr.. Entwistle says, have abandoned
it, and there will be no decision in that case.
In conclusion, Mr.. Entwistle says it is Of i'm
portance that he has legal instructions, as this
class Of cases are frequently presented and it is
. matter Of importance to the building COM
munity. The attorney will be called upon to
submit an opinion.

board Of health of Louisiana. read q compre-

board Of health of Louisiana, read q compre-
hensiye paper upon the second Of the first
question, the one that treated by DIR.
Cochran. Some of the ports on the Atlantic
and Gulf of Mexico, he said, have costly disin-
fecting apparatus, others maintain strict nom
intercourse during the quarantine, while in
some the means are utterly inadequate 1t was
with reference to the latter class that he wished
to speak III passengers from an infected port
are allowed to enter any OF these ports without
detention or disinfection and come direct to
Louisiana, what, then, would be the value
of the costly plant that Louisiana main
tains and the detention she insists
upon at the cost of her commerce? They did
not desire to raise a Quarantine, say against
certain ports in Florida, but they did object to
passengers taking advantage OF the laxity in
that OF any other state to evadc the necessary
restrictive measures that New Orleans main
tains.
INVITED TO THE MUSEUM OF HYGIENE.
At this point of the business DIR. Gihon
Of the medical corps of the navy made
on behalf of DR.. Philip S. Wales and
DIR. Moore of the navy and gave a cordial invi-
tation to all to visit and inspect the museum of
hygiene on New York avenue.
DIR. Cochran made a few remarks in answer
to DIR. ELEPHANTS paper. He doubted the pos
ability of completely disinfecting an infected
vessel and guaranteeing safety and immunity
to any community. Cargoes, he again MAIN
tanned. arc not liable to infection. and hence it
Is desirable to get at those articles that are
more liable and then to consider and treat
them.
SANITARY ARRANGEMENTS OF SCHOOL BUILDINGS.
The Ohio board of health propounded a
query which read as follows:
1. Should state boards of health have control
Of the sanitary arrangement of all school
buildings to be erected within their boundary?
2. What is the best plan to secure such con-
troll?
DIR. Balch of Albany, n. Y, opened the dis
cussion, in which he took the ground that the
state boards of health should not have such
control His address was made up for the
most part of a recital of a number of expert
ences that the board had met with in the state
Of New York, and argued the disadvantages
that would accrue from the proposed system.
He thought the best plan was to let the active
supervision lie with the local boards of health.
The discussion that followed was taken part
in by DIR. Probst. DIR. Horn and DIR. Reeve,
after which the conference adjourned until
Monday morning at 10 am.

Today wss the return day TO answer the rule
and show cause issued in the case Of the United
States against G. W. Cooper and eighty three
others to restrain the cutting or removal Of
trees within the Rock Creek Park lines.
The Equity Court, Judge Haguer, before
whom the writs are returnsble, was engaged
in the Normandie Hotel case and the Judge
continued the Rock Greek Park case to We'd
nesday next at IL o'clock. But one answer
was filed, that of Mrs. Mary L. Beale, who de-
mics that the trees have been wantonly cut, and
states that while some were cut by the survey
ors others were cut by her to make available
the portion Of her land left to her: that while
she does not think the government has offered
an adequate sum for the ground taken she will
throw no obstacle in the way, but desires to
have advantage of the park.
L. 8. Blagden, Thos. Beall, H. g. Mathewson
and JOS. H. Dos Passos have by Messrs. W. Stone,
Albert, McCullom and Dos Passos fled motions

Some Doubts About His Blindness.

The case of Robert Hammond, colored. con-
victed few days ago of false pretenses in OBJ
tanning money from Thomas Bowie by repre-
senting he had ''supercized' claim for $780,
600, was called in the Criminal Court today
Mr.. t. C. Taylor. who appeared for Ham
mond with Mr.. Cullinane. suggested that this
was case in which sentence should be sus-
pended because Of the prisoners blindness.
The court said that man who could SYSTEM
atically rob another could find some employ
ment in the penitentiary.
Mr.. Cullinane said he proposed to file a mo-
ton for a new trial, and had today.t to do it in.
He outlined the affidavits as to the defendant
being monomaniac on 'superciZed claim"
Assistant District Attorney Clagett said he
would admit that the afhdavits would be sworn
to and he called attention to others having
been beaten out of money.
The court said that the defendant had shown
shrewdness on the stand both in answering
questions and evading them, and he appeared
neither deaf or blind as he pretended. He
would pass the case that the motion and afi da-
wits could be filed and he would dispose Of the
case on Monday morning.

REBECCA SMITHS STORY.
She Fails to Convince the Judge and Gets
Sent Down.

Rebecca Smith, a white woman, who spends
more Of her time in prison than she does any
where else, appeared before Judge Kimball to-
day for the first time since the judge has been
on the bench, and she told long and varied
story in her own defense, which if true would
have exonerated anybody, but she made state
ments which the court knew were untrue, and
for that reason she appeared in a bad light.
She admitted that she was under the influ-
ence of liquor, but" she said, II only took a
few drinks because felt sick and was wor-
ried."
Then she proceeded to tell of her arrest. She
was walking toward a saloon to get box of
oysters, she said, when she heard some one call
her Becky" and she looked around to find
that the person who called her was police
man.
Judge Kimball reminded Becky that the
oyster season was over. but the woman said
she had nothing to do with that, but she knew
she had got oysters night before last.
That's all right" remarked the judge,
they were in season then"
The unfortunate woman then told Of the
number of places where she had been employed,
but she contradicted herself in such a manner
that the judge paid but little attention to her
statement and sent her down for sixty days.
