DESTROYING DECAYED MEAT.
Inspector Mcleod Finding Plenty of
1t in Corner Groceries.

Meat Inspector Mcleod is getting in mis-
work on the people who persist in offering
bad meat for sale.
The inspectors work has developed the
fact that the butchers are not the worst
Offenders against the public health in
the class of meats they offer for sale. In
his last report to the health officer, the
inspector says that he has found in the
corner grocery stores a class of meat that
Is simply rotten. This meat is not found
in small quantities, but in lots ranging
as high as 800 pounds. and the
price at which il is offered, l to cents
pound, shows that it was bought with
the knowledge of its condition, and is in
tended for sale to people whose stomacns
are not of the most delicate.
The inspector states that he has had to
condemn good deal of this meat in va
rious parts of the city, the condemned
meat being sent to the crematory. Print-
ed receipts will be furnished the superia-
tendent of the crematOry, and a receipt
given for each lot of meat destroyed, in
order that correct record may be kept.
sample ham of the sort that the in
spector has been condemning was on ex-
hibition in DR.. IeHardy's office yesterday,
The nam presented a fairly respectable
appearance to the eye, and there was no
Derceptible odor even at close range. DR..
Le1afdy mad some fun with MS visitors
by sticking his knife into the ham and
then placing the blade under the nose Of
the visitor. One whiff was enough for
any one not having a cast-iron stomach,
and nobody asked for a second installment
of the odor. The fumes of an ancient vault
would have been sweet incense compared
to it,
1t was hard to believe that ony one
would eat such meat. and yet all the
sanitary inspectors present agreed that
such meat is sold and used in large guam
titles by the poorer classes especially the
negroes, and, furthermore, they have
found such meat cooking in the pots in
houses where they had made Inspections,
and sometimes the shippers We're found
floating on top of the water in the pots.
After getting a whff of DR.. LeHardys
knife blade the old story of the ham that
only required an address in order to find
the home Of the purchaser, appeared be-
lievable.

The announcement in yesterdays Morn
ing News Of the election of Principal w

some of Mr.. Fitzpatrick friends here, who
were aware Of his having made applica-

1t is not positively known, but it is be-
leved that Mr.. Fitzpatrick will accept the
offer that has been made to him. His ap-

election would by all means meet with an
acceptance.
In the event Mr. Fitzpatrick goes to Mer-
Ger the place Of principal will be left with
out an incumbent at the Anderson street
school Mr. Fitzpatrick has been at the
head Of the school for one year, and was
elected by the board of edu-
cation for another year. His

successor will probably be selected at
the next meeting of the board In case
he accepts the chair at Mercer. The cleo
tion of Mr.. fitzpatrick is an unusual honor
for a man of his age. He is about 26
years old and was graduated from Mercer
with the class of 1891 After his gradua-
tion he taught school for two years at

Fellows excursionists to Daufuskie yes
terday, reported a the police barracks
last night that he had been robbed of a
fine gold watch. which was taken from his
clothing which he had left in one of the

rival Of the boat at the city, took charge
of the negro and undertook to turn him
over TO Policeman Becker, who was on
duty at the dock The policeman, how
ever, refused TO take charge Of the negro
because Mr.. Hicks had no proof against
him. The negro offered to lei himself be
searched at the island, when the charge
was first made, and again when the yes
sci arrive at the dock in the city.
The matter was referred to the detec-
tives, and the negro went his way after
having been watched from the island to
the city under strong suspicion OF having
committed the theft.
AT Daufuskie, Mr.. Hicks said. Il took
a surf bath, leaving my clothes in one of
the bath rooms. When I returned to
dress, ] found that my gold watch had
been stolen The only person who had
been in the bathroom was the negro whom
l had brought to the city. l cannot swear
positively that he stole my watch, but

officer, and reported the affair at the

DIR. LIE HARDY's REPORT.
Tells the Sanitary Board About the
SapeIO Quarantine.

SapeIO Quarantine.
At the meeting of the sanitary board
yesterday Dr. LeHardy made a full report
of his visit to the government quarantine
station at Sapelo and gave it as his opin-
ion that with a floating disinfecting plant
and improved apparatus for discharging
ballast Savannahs quarantine station
would be in much better condition to
handle vessels OF any class, including
those with contagious diseases aboard
than the government quarantine station.
Among other matters DIR. LeHardy
spoke of the fact that while the city or
dinance prohibits the upturnng of soil
in the streets without the permission of
the sanitary board during the summer
months. numerous excavations are being
made upon private property while persons
who desire to make sewer connections and
thus do away with old privy vaults, are
prevented from doing so by the ordnance
This he thought very inconsistent
DIR. LeHardy called attention TO the in
crease of the clerical work in his office
and requested that he be allowed the SER
vices of stenographer and
typewriter for one hour each
day TO aid his in disposing of his
mail. This would enable him, he said
to give his personal attention TO the work
of the inspectors. for which he has very
little time at present.

VERDICT FOR S4O0 GRANTED.
The Case of Jackson VS. Berrien Ter
minated in the Superior Court

minated in the Superior Court.
The second trial of the suit of Henry r.
Jackson against Mrs. Rosa F. Berrien was
had in the superior court yesterday. Judge
Norwood presided in place of Judge Falli-
CANT, who was disqualified in the case be-
cause of his family relation with the de-
fendant.
The verdict of the jury was the same as
that on the former trial Gen. jackson
rented a house to the Berrien family. It
was not quite clear whether the house was
let to the wife or the husband When the
rental fell behind security was sought and
Mrs. Berrien gave as security a mort
gage on certain lots in the Springfield dis
trict. Afterwards il was held that she
could not be forced to put up her own
property under the state laws for the rent
al of the house, since her husband was re-
sponsible for that. The suit was brought
on this ground. The jury brought in a
verdict for $500 for the plaintiff, which
was acknowledged by the defendant, the
remainder being left out of theGerdict,
which was nearly $500.
Judge Norwood will resume his session
Of the city court to-day, his juries being
summoned to reassemble at II O'Clock.
There is no particular case of interest to
come before the court, but there is a vast
accumula ton of minor cases to be dis
posed of, and Judge Norwood will take
these up with hearty zest.
Judge Faligant will resume his work
on the bench of the superior court to-day.

CAN ROGERS REMOVER
A Correspondent Quotes the Law and
Says He Cannot.

Seattle, Wash. Oct. .. 1877.
To tire Editor: I have noticed a good
many suggestions IN the papers O.
late concerning things that Gov. Rogers
might do to unsnarl the university
tangls. tee most common Of which Is
that he remove this board OF regents.
which is OF ais OWN creation; but
this IS something the governor has not
the power 10 do, however well disposed ne
might now be 10 correct the evil for wnich
he alone must be held responsible. as Viii
appear from en- inspection Of the new
school law. passed last winter. This act
contains 4 provision (see page AS, section
Isl Laws OF 1870: THAT regents now
serving upon such board shall continue as
such during the terms for which they
were respectively appointed Clearly,
the legislature designed by this provision
TO prevent q radical. hasty or ii-advised
reconstruction Of the board or regents,
thereby keeping the institution out OF poll
files and saving Il from turmoil and dis
grace. II will be observed that changes In
the personnel OF the board could only be
made from time to time, and in rotation,
as the various terms CT the old members.
might expire.
But VIXEN this biz was presented 10 his
exceiiency for executive approval or veto,
he doubtless discovered IN the provision
above quoted the evidence OF one Of those
terrible "conspiracieS" on the part OF the
wicked Populists III the legislature. de-
signed TO interfere with what the governor
has conceived 10 be his prerogative 90
forthwith bounce all the office holders in
the state). and as well did he discern
golden opportunity 10 cunningly placate
several Seattle gentlemen who were in his
crooked road TO the United States senate,
and with the 'irrepsessible conflict
ahead, he therefore proceeded post haste,
and before the new school bill could be-
come a law, TO gather together such sena-
torial aspirants as he could lay his hands
upon, and TO appoint them as regents Of
the university. This being completed. the
governor proceeded to approve the bill,
with the idea that these gentlemen, at
least, were safely out Of his way. But.
mark you, the regents thus hastily APP
pointed may, under the provision OF this
law, as has been shown, serve the fun
terms for which they were appointed, be-
cause they were in office at the time the
school bill became a law; and il matters
not how much the governor might now
desire to remove them, he is powerless to
do so. Thus Gov. Rovers is not only Who'll
ly responsible for this board of regents. but
he is absolutely helpless TO correct his own
blunder
Il may have been very shrewd political
trick in the light of the governors limited
knowledge OF honorable politics, for him
TO unload these fellows on to the univer-
slty, but think OF what a terrible load it is.
and just now the people of the state OF
Washington are extremely anxious to
know whether the institution can live I'M
der its burden. SUBSCRIBER
