lumber In the Delaware.

HDec7dE to tie Sunday Horal5o Nei0s.'
BELvIDERE, MI. April Is, 1891. Great
quantities are now passing down the Della
ware River to market. Old dealers say
that more lumber will be shipped this
season from the headwaters OF the Della
ware thnn I'm years before. The mild
winter afforded the lumbermen chance
to DO considerable clearing among the
forests along the upper Delaware, and
they therefore have an unusually large
supply OF lumber en- hand which they are
anxious to turn into money. A good
many RATS come TO grief daily by
coming in contact with some of the
numerous bridges that span the river,
and the raftsmen are frequently exposed
to great danger. The lnmbermen have
great difficulty when they reach Belyi-
dere TO get experienced pilots to conduct
them through the riffs which lie between
here and Easton.

FEDERAL CLUB.

The Federal Club has changed very
much of late from what IL was originally.
When IL was first organized it was the In
tention of the founders to have the club
a purely social one, but so many Repub-
licans joined it that the air about the
clubhouse soon became partisan. This
lead to the dropping out of number OF
members, bus their places were more
than filled by active Republicans who
Joined. Now the club is pronounced
Republican organization ana Is the most
active Republican club in the county, for
Il participates in all elections, while the
Union League, the crack Republican
club, only takes active interest in
State and national issues. The Federal
Club has opened its doors 20 the Republi :
can County Committee, and that body
has accepted the invitation to make 1t
headquarters. This has added much to
the strength of the club in finances and
membership. 1t is the hope of the MEM
bers that the Federal Club will soon be
the recognized centre of Republican poll
tics in this county.
The club house will be practically
closed during the summer months and no
entertainments will be given.
The fiourishing condition OF the club Is
best shown BY the last report of the
treasurer, which shows q balance to its
credit of nearly 500. Some time ago the
club issued $1,000 worth of stock, and all
but about $3.50 OF this has been retired.
AT any time the club desires to take u D
the small remainder of the stock tn Q
treasurer will be prepared to meet the
demand.
The Toffey Guard, which is part and
parcel of the club, although an entirely
distinct organic tIion, will not hold bus.
mess meeting until October. when the
Federals will see that the Toffsys are
prepared for their next campaign. The
excellent drilling of the Guard is not for
gotten by any means, and Captain Laws
does not intend to let the perfection
lessen.
The regular monthly stag will he held
Saturday next, and preparations are being
made TO make it first class affair.

GOOD FOR LIE DRoIT PARK.
Boom Likely to Follow the Removal of
the Fence and the improvements.

A Boom Likely to Follow the Removal of
the Fence and the improvements.
The immediate effect Of the decision In the
lie Droit Park Fence case which declared the
streets in that subdivision to be public prop
erty, is the preparation being made by the En-
gineer Department of the District Government
to carry out the improvements there for which
$27, 900 was appropriated by the last Congress
The use Of S., 600 of this amount has already
been lost owing to the failure to reach de-
cision before the end of the fiscal year. The
result OF these improvements cannot help but
be greatly beneficial to that neighborhood, and
consequent "boom" is expected there. The
most important work will be the completion
OF Linden street, across which the fence was
erected. The opening of this street will give
the best outlet from the city in that vicinity,
and If still further opened, will give new
drive to Soldiers Home. AS it is, Linden
street will be means OF reaching Seventh
street extended without the necessity of pass
ing out Seventh street itself, the condition Of
which is very bad. For the completion of the
Improvement of Linden street as far as Maple
$4,000 was appropriated, and for grading and
regulating 1t rs far north as College street
$4,000 additional was allowed. For the fur
ther improvement of Maple avenue $4,000
was set apart, and for the completion of the
paving of Larch street 81, 900 more was added.
Another factor which will enter largely into
the advanced value in the Park will be the
subdivision Of the Meore tract, which adjoins
it on the east side, and which was recently
purchased by syndicate This work will
probably be begun in the fall

A PUBLIC ABATToIR.
DR.. Hammett Wants One But the Butch
er's Think 1t Unnecessary.

DR.. Hammett Wants One But the Butch
er's Think 1T Unnecessary.
Now that the work of the Rock Creek
Commissionis is fairly under way, some of the
chronic District kckers have been sending
the members of the Commission sugges-
tions, by letter and otherwise, to the effect
that the slaughter houses around Tennally-
town ought to be abolished, as they polluted
the small streams that flow into Rock Creek.
They want an official abattoir established at
convenient point where there will be no
contamination of the streams, and where an
official inspection can be made OF all animals
slaughtered.
HERALD reporter saw Mr.. John II.
Crane, who lately had the controversy in re-
lation to the chief clerkship of the Health
Office. He said: "Such complaints as you
refer to might have been well founded three
or four years ago. AT that time complaints
were made against Kengla & Co., whose
stock yard adjoined Secretary Whitney's
place, and against other slaughter houses in
the vicinity. Since the establishment of the
stock yards, slaughter houses, and cold
storage houses at Benning, / have been in
formed that all these parties have stopped
slaughtering on their premises. / am sure
that there Is no call for the establishment of
an official abattoir at this time, and perhaps
not for many years to come"
"Said Mr.. Carroll, of Harrigan & Co.,
butchers in the Centre Market: 'The sale of
Chicago dressed beef has done away with the
slaughteriDg OF cattle to great extent In
the District. The abattoir at Benning is
private concern, but all the slaughtering of
beeyers, hogs and sheep is done there by the
butchers because it is cheap and convenient
They have stock yards and cold storage, and
man can either slaughter his own stock or get
1t done for small fee, and then it ia put in
the cold storage until he wants it. To
establish an official abattoir with salaried in
spectors and SO on, would be a big and
useless expense. Better let well enough
alone. -
DIR. Hammett, the Health Officer, however,
says: " / think a community of 25O, 600 people
needs an abattoir, officially inspected, 80 that
no foul or diseased meat can be foisted upon
the community. / recognize the fact that
much has been done by the establishment of
the private abattoir at Benning in doing
away with the abuses that in late years have
been honestly complained of. 1t will require
an act of Congress to remedy these matters,
but am determined If / can accomplish 1t,
that there shall not be sold pound of
diseased or unsound meat in this District.
At Benning there is no inspectorship of
slaughtered meat worth speaking of. The
animals, to make the inspection effective,
must be inspected before they are killed. l
am pressed to death now, but that is one OF
the first subjects shall bring to the attention
OF the Commissioners and to Congress"

BUILDING INSPECTORS OFFICE.
Mr. Entwisle's Estimates of the Cost OF
Running IT Next Year.


Building Inspector Entwisle has forwarded
to the Commissioners his estimate Of the sum
required to carry on the business of his de-
partment for the ensuing fiscal year. In it
he recommends that the salary of Mr.. Brady,
the chief clerk, be raised from 81 900 to $4,000.
This position must necessarily be filed by
skilled architect, as to the chief clerk falls the
duty OF preparing all the designs for the
school buildings, police stations, fire engine
houses, and other buildings own by the Dis
trict. Mr.. Entwisle also suggests that the
salaries of the two assistant inspectors be in
creased. For the use of his Office he asks for
SO, 155. For the care of the District Building
$3,O0S.5O will be required; for repairs to public
schools, $30,000 for engine houses, So, 500;
for police stations, So, 900; for market houses,
$1,000; for Police Court, $500; for interior OF
District Building, $500, making total of
$39, $50. This estimate, Mr.. Entwistle states,
Is the very lowest that can be made and
should not be reduced in any way. Under the
care of the Building Inspecting Department
there are 100 buildings that must be kept In
good repair Ofthis number thare are ninety
nine school buildings, three markets, nine
police stations and the Police Court, eight en-
gine houses, three truck houses, and the Dis
trict Building itself. The duties of the Building
inspectors Office, as set forth in q statement
recently submitted to the Commissioners, are
as follows:
'The Issuance OF permits for the construc-
tion and repair of buildings, vaults, park rail-
ings, and awnings; the numbering and read
justing of the numbering of all buildings; the
examination in detail of all buildings in course
OF erection or alteration in the District except
those owned by the United States; the con-
struction and repair of all buildings owned
by the District Of Columbia and the prepara-
tion of the plans and the specifications for the
