CAN'T move GARBAGE
Strike of Barney Captains Practi-

440 Loaded Carts Await Boats at
the Sixteen Dumps.
The superintendent Resigns and
New Men Refuse Duty.

Confusion and utter demoraliza ton
reign in the Street Cleaning Depart

heavy rain storms and the strike Of the
twcnty-six captains and mates of the
Barney Dumping Company.
-Four hundred and forty garbage carts
stand about the sixteen dumping
gro DIS on the North and East rivers
loaded with filth and debris.
The city has twenty three scows that
are used for receiving the accumulations
from the houses and stores and the
streets. and these boats, although
loaded, could not be sent to sea ycster-
day on account of the heavy weather.
In the mean time the garbage carts
accumulated at the dumping groun Is
and there was nothing to do but to UNI
hitch the horses and send them to the
stables and let the carts stand in the
streets.
Supt Buchler, who has charge of the
city scows is busy to-day sending them
out to sea. and expects to have them
all out by nightfall.
The strike of the captains and mates
on the Barney Company's boats made
matters worse. This Company has thr-
teen patent dumping scows that are
employed by the city, and its boats take
and dump 1t in the sea.
The superintendent of the Barney cor
poration resigned yesterday, because Its
President refused to arrange terms with

Several new hands were employed In
