TOWER HILL.

The Most Important Em;nence and Host
Notable Spot In All London.
Tower hill is perhaps both the most
important eminence and the most nota-
bio spot in all the metropolis. Few Of
us. as we pass it on steamer or cross it
OH our route to the Ankwerkes Pack
age, at the commencement of our au-
tumnal holiday, think what great per-
sons have quietly lived there, and what
others. equally great, have wept and
died upon it. To it, or rather to Great
Tower street, came Rochester to pursue
his trade as an Italian fortune teller,
while the bedizened Buckingham often
walked thither in order to consult q
conjurer. shrewd, farseeing rogue,
who, when FELTON, bought at the cutters
shop on the summit of the hill for a
shilling the knife with which he killed
the dukes father, may have known for
what purpose it was required.
William Penn was born on this hill
in q house close to London wall Forty
four years later-that is, in A. D. 1856
"A poet lay dead, choked by q crust
which starvation had urged him to de-
your too greedily, in an upper room Of
the Bull tavern. This was the ill fated
Otway. At the time when the son of the
muses. lay dead, Betterton, the celebrat-
ed founder of the stage after the resto-
ration, was wringins tears from the eyes
of the public, not for the famished
dead, but at his own fictitious SORROWS
in Venice Preserved"
1t was in Great Tower street. that
Peter the Great used to pass his even
ings drinking hot pepper and brandy
with his boon companion, Lord Car
marthen. In the neighborhood Of
Little Tower street, which can scarcely
be supposed to have been inspiring,
Thomson composed his Summer. In
Grub street, the supposed lurking place
of many mute, inglorious Milton,
much hack literary work was effected,
none Of which has survived the touch Of
times destroying hand. -Gentleman s

his wife, invested in proper securities,
SO that he is not liable to be expelled by
reason of bankruptcy? The extraordi-

German officer and the pecuniary re-

such advantages make his small pay,

A Bicycle outrage.

JUSTICE Macs fined a young man
81 yesterday for riding a bicycle on the
Boulevard on Saturday with an unlight-
ed lamp. The young man explained
hat his lamp would not work in spite
of all his efforts. and he was Fastening
home on that account whenzANasxa fresh
policeman arrested him. OF course, the
Justice was impervious to common
sense and insisted on the fine.
This is a sort of petty tyranny which
should stop. A bicyclist is liable to the
accidents of travel like anyone else. and
case. it is a piece of i~nsolent brutality
to fine him for it.
In this city the lantern ordinance is
an outrage anyway. because drivers Of
fast vehicles of all sorts are allowed to
go without any light. imperilling the
lives of bicyclists at every street corner.
Besides the bicycle ordinance is uRrea-
sonably and capriciousIy .-ssrced. Hun
dreds of riders are allowed to go with

Want MORE OF THEM
Property Owners Anxious for
Street Improvements in
Order to Build.

In the absence of President Brown
yesterday. Commissioners Kaiser pre-
sided at the meeting of the Street and
Water Board.
The proposed building of a viaduct in
Thirteenth street. as -foreshadowed from
time to time, has already borne good
fruit. Not only have property owners
taken out permits for the erection of
several new buildings. but other property
owners north of the Erie Railroad
tracks have begun to clamor for improve
ments. of which there are few in the
section. Property owners in Fifteenth
street van a sewer built as soon as
practicable. A similar petition has been
handed in by the property owners of
Eighteenth street, who also want the
street improved, and Seventeenth street
residents and owners want a sewer in
that street. The property owners say
with the granting of a few public imp
prove1nents they will build. 1t is prac-
tically useless to build under the pres
emit condition of affairs. as it is not pos
sible to equip houses with n OF the
modern improvements.
The desire for improvements in other
parts of the city has not abated yet.
John E. Van Horn and others want Bran
hall avenue improved. This will involve
the building of a viaduct. This improve
nleLt was pelieloiieu iol oAce pelole, Dut
owing to a slight disagreement among
the property owners it was abandoned. 1t
is believed now that all property owners
liable to assessment are fayorably dis
posed.
Property owners of stevens avenue
want a sewer.
In Ninth street the sewer is in bad
condition and the property owners want
it cleaned at once.
Chief Engineer Ruggles submitted speci-
fications for the construction of a 20-inch
ninn SHUVarAin SArman nl9oP and for a
main sewer in Clendenny avenue, with
many lateral sewers. The specifications
were subsequently adopted.
The preliminary assessment map of the
Jackson place improvement was fled by
the Assessment Commissioners, also the
final maps of the Oak street, Bostwick
place and Ogden avenue improvements.
AN public work is being pushed along
as rapidly as possible, and it is being
done to the entire satisfaction of prop
erty owners and Commissioners.
