Prosecutor Winfield Makes Answer to q
Journal" Structure.
The following open letter will appear
in the EUening Journal today
My dear Major:-I clip the following
from last evenings Journdl:-
1T is said that several indictments against
Shanley's manure heap are pigeon-nOled in
Prosecutor Winield's Office"
''In reply permit me to say there are no
pigeon holes in my Office and there are,
as a consequence no indictments in
them. There are two indictments
against the proprietors Of the manure
heap referred TO, which are aud have
been, since they were presented TO the
Court, on file in the clerks Office. Ihave
endeavored through the officers of the
county TO obtain evidence upon which |
could bring them To trial. Tine effort
has proved complete failure.
Last year, as am informed,
the County Board of Health undertook TO
abate the nuisance and TO h1a witnesses
who would come forward to testify
against it.
They canvassed from the Newark Rail-
road to North Bergen. The result was an
utter failure.
Now, have this proposition 10 make
to You and all others who think this ma
nure heap a nuisance aud de-
sire TO abaUe IL. Send me
the names of a dozen good witnesses who
will swear that the manure heap sends
out odors which are offensive or in
furious TO health, and these witnesses
must know this, not imagine il, and be
able to trace the odors to this heap. Can
you or any one else send me these wit
nesses and obiige yours truly.

a bright fire in the little CRATE. The
apartment was warm and comfortable.
Seated near the CRATE were four or five
Democratic Congressman, lolling in easy
chairs. rubbing their legs and enjoying
the bright glow of the Goals. Among
them were Hon. Samuel Matthews Rob
ertson. of Baton Rouge, and Hon.
Littleton Wilde Moore. of L. Grange,
Texas. Robertson is manly young
fellow. with regular features, a clear
complexion and an eagle eye. He has
pursued many a deer through the
swamps Of Louisiana and has won a
National reputation rs bear hunter.
He succeeded his father as a member Of
Congress three years ago. Moore Is a
tall gentleman, with blue eyes, sandy
hair, rudy complexion. and l.chen
growth upon his chin. He is conyen-
tional Texan in attire, manner and con-
verSaton. He served.in the Confederate
army, and had been on the bench in
Texas for years before he entered Con-
CresS.
Robertson was telling a bear story
when | entered the room. He iamented

tate country ON the border OF the Atch-
afayiaya swamp. His party had run
down an enormous bear, and finally
killed il. The animal seemed TO have u
magnificent pelt. As usual there, they
slipped a rope around its upper jaw,
tied the rope 10 the tail Of swamp
pony and dragged Brun to camp.
When they came 10 skin the beast, they
fouai the hide utterly worthless. The
body was perforated with Screw-wormS.
Not m0rsci OF the meat could be eaten.
Even the paws, which are regarded as
great delicacy in the South, were value
less.
Robertson asserted that this was the
first time he had ever seen the screw
worm in Louisiana. 1t had evidently
come over from Texas. Upon inquiry
Afterwards he learned that coonS. pos
sums. fox-squirrels, hogs. dogs and all
kinds OF cattle were infected with them.
"Why. said he, they tackle the blacks.

a trace Of blood appeared it attracted
