HEALTH OF THE DISTRICT
4 Slight Increase I'm the Number 4
Deaths Last Week.

4 Slight Increase in the Number of
Deaths Last Week.
DR.. Hammett in his weekly review for the
week past reports the condition Of the pub
lie health to be favorable. Although there
was slight increase in the number of
deaths the death rate still runs below the
annual average. There was q decrease Of
one In the cases Of pneumonia, while the
deaths from consumption reached nineteen;
those from kidney complaints seven, and
the unusual number Of seven fatal cases
from cancers. Infant mortality was at the
normal, and as yet there are no indications
Of the advent Of summer complaints.
Taking into consideration the limited ex-
tent Of the mortality and the preponderance
of chronic cases, especially among the aged
compared with the allegiance Of the malarial
and contagious diseases, the outlook prom
ises low death rate for the immediate
future.
The statistics are as follows:
Number Of deaths, 100; white 60; colored
1874: colored, 2S.4. Total population, 219
Thirty-nine were under five years of age
80 were under one year old and Is over 90
years. Twenty-three of the deaths occurred
In hospitals and public Institutions.
The deaths by classes were as follows:
Zymotic. 10; constitutional. 80; local, e.;
developmental, Is; violence, 8.
Th, principal causes of death were:
Group. /; diphtheria, 8; consumption 49,;
diarrhoeal. 1; typhoid fever. 2; malarial, 2;
pneumonia, 10; congestion of the lungs. B.
bronchitis. A; whooping cough, 1; kidney
diseases. Z; meningitis. 1; cancers. z.

GOOD NOW IF GOOD AT ALL.
Gov. Werts ON n Bill Postponing Re.
form.

TRENTON. N. J., May 2.-Gov. werts
sent to the senate this morning his veto of
the Newark and Jersey City board of works
BILL The bill merely legislates out of ONCE
members Of the existing street and water
boards for the purpose of enabling the
mayors OF the respective cities to appoint
others In their stead. These last appointees
are to continue in ONCE during the term of
the mayor appointing them, which means
for two years in Newark and three years
In Jersey City. After that they are to be
elective. The only present result is the
substitution Of one set Of appointed officials
Tor another appointed set The change Of
system permitting home rule" Is deferred
Tor two and three years In the respective
cities. The only apparent reason for that
provision Is the desire to Immediately
change the party complexion Of the boards
and prevent the people from expressing
their approval or disapproval Of such action
for periods Of two and three years.
If the people should elect, at the expira-
ton OF those periods, there can be no good
reason why they should not elect at the
next regular election or sooner. is the
governors conclusion.
Senator Perkins (dem.) Of Burlington
made a sensation this morning by voting
with the republicans for the passage, over
the governors veto, of the bill abolishing
the boards Of works of Trenton, Paterson
and Camden. The bill was passed. despite
the governors objection.

DESTROYED BY FIRE.
Car Shops mt Marietta, Ga, Burned
Other Damage.

Car Shops Mt Marietta, Ga, burned
Other Damage.
ATLANTA, Ca, May 2. A midnight
special to the Constitution tells of the
burning OF the Marietta and North Georgia
railroad shops at Marietta, just before u
o'clock The shops were the largest and
best on the line of the road, and at the
time the fire broke out five of the largest
ard best locomotives of the road were in
the shops. while several new passenger
coaches were under the roof and alongside
the shops. The fire is supposed to have
been OF incendiary origin. The destruction
was complete. Three Of the engines had
1900 each. while the value of the other
two was estimated at about 5000 each
The value of the passenger coaches is
placed at $4,000. The loss on the freight
$4,000.
The shops have been fired several times
before, but each time were saved. Three
or four murders have occurred in the shops
ana one OF the previous fires was for the
purpose. it was supposed. of hiding one of
these murders. The Atlanta Home Insur-
ance Company carried 1900 insurance
on the property. This practically covers
the total loss.
TOULON. France, May 2.-The enormous
saw mills OF the arsenal at Mourillon were
burned last night. The fire lasted three
hours and did damage to the amount Of
81, 100000.
The flames spread rapidly, in spite Of the
efforts of a large force of sailors and
marines. who assisted the firemen. For a
time there was great danger of the fire
extending to the ship building yards.
Several marines were seriously injured
The origin of the fire is unknown An
official inquiry has been instituted.
SAN FRANCISCO. May 2-The town Of
Elmira is reported burning. A hall. two
stores, three saloons and q blacksmith
shop have been destroyed.
ALBANY, N. Y. May 2-The Kenwood

singer, are burning.

The Cable Cars.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
There is In plain sight, and on dozens Of
our streets, q daily rebuke to the belief
that common sense guides In the affairs Of
men. This visible confutation Of the spirit
Of faith which inheres in the Grass optimism
OF the average citizen, takes the shape Of
q big thing that runs. 1t runs smooth and
fast, scuttling uphill and downhill with
equal speed, swinging round corners like
mad, and never stopping without making q
rattle and bang of 1t, a labor and a groan.
And then how merrily 1t leaps forward to
take the road again! Sailing down a crowd
ed street, and rarely even moderating its
speed. for 1t cannot do even this much with
out a deal of trouble and a straining of its
back. This animal is created and vitalized
by man, and yet a single glance at the
structure of its Jaws will show that 1t feeds
upon the flesh Of men. The upper jaw .e-
mains fixed, about two feet above the
ground, the throat extends back about three
feet and is fitted with a series Of mandibles
which work together, and revolve and clutch
and crush and grind their prey. On a sun
ny day, when the streets are full OF people.
the purpose of the creature is as express
and clear as the purpose Of the tiger when
1t sights its enemy, man, in the jungle. 1t
then appears that the upper jaw Is placed
at height carefully designed to so strike
its prey as to throw 1t down at once and
gather 1t underneath itself, and then pro-
coed to MUNICH 1t with its nippers and in
cisors, before hurrying it on to be fed to
its vitals. No cannibal ever loved a little
child as this civilized monster. 1t likes to
sweep into a crowd of them, like a torrid
blast among flowers. The edge Of its upper
jaw being just above the center of gravity
of a child, child must go down before 1t.
After this 1t Is easy work to toss the bundle
on to the gustatory task of the fauces, with
their steel and oak bars and wheels meant
for the luscious savoring Of the soft bones
of such prey. Men stand in wonder at the
sight of this animal, and are so tickled at
their creation Of 1t as not to realize that
they have not yet learned to control its
movements with sure and prompt hand.
Its speed and It's transporting capacity have
made them overlook what 1t costs to feed
II. Their common sense is forgotten in their
rage to go quickly from place to place.
Why the creators of this machine should
not render its movements harmless by
little less speed, and more especially by
covering It's cavernous nav with a project
ing frame or network, or "cowcatcher" Of
some kind, 50 that, II human being be
careless enough to be struck by 1t, he might
at least be shoveled off its track instead of
being tue ed in under its jaw, is a question
1 would like some one to answer. H.
