FOUND NOT GUILTY.
Judge Bradstrset Gives a ConstructIor of the Sidewalk 'Snow" Ordinance.

Judge Bradstreet Gives . COnstructIon
 of the Sidewalk "snow" Ordinance. z ProsecupRgl Attorney ylsussell secured from Judge Bradstreet to-day constrac- tion of the sidewalk ordinance. which. although he lost the case tried. will be of service to him and at the same time should be a warning to violators of that oTdi- nance The case in question was that against A & Chase. Before Justice Brett the defendant was fiued. The case was brought before Judge Bradstreet to receive a construction and test. The walk ex- tends from the Brooklyn bridge past the electric lighting station and the date of the alleged neglect was December 3. Two employees of the city, Lawrence Cronan and Patrick McKeon. Peter Larkin, who drives a coal cart, and Thomas Seery. who is the janitor of the property in ques- tiop, testified to the impossibility of shoveling of the snow.' as it was packed down, and to the fact that Seery had been seen putting on sand. Officer Cahey said that the center of the walk had been sanded. but that inside and outside the snow had not been shoveled of. Judge Bradstreet said that the ordinance re- quired that wherever snow could be taken oiE it should be. In this case the wit nesses had all sworn that it was impos- sible to remove the snow and as sand had been used he would find for the defend ant. Attorney s. W. Kellogg also made a point that the officer had reported the case two hours before the time specified by tho ordinance, which says five hours after sunrise. Prosecuting Attorney Russell was satisfied, but thought the officers went into court not fully prepared with evil dence.

How to Remedy Damp Walls.

The process consists al using two washes for covering the walls. The pro- portions arc threr.Quarters of pound of castle soap to a gallon of water and half pound of alum to 1 gallons of water. The temperature of tho air should be not above 25 degrees F. wheT the compositions arc applied.
 The soap wash should be laid on roil- ing hot with flat brush, taxing care to form froth on tho hrickwOrk. This wash should remain 24 hours. The alum wash is applied i'll the same manner. The temperature of this wash when ap- piled may be 60 or 70 degrees, and this also should remain 24 hours before a second coat of soap wash is put on. These coats are to he put on alternately until the walls are mado impervious to water
