EFFECT OF PLUMBING INSPECTIONS
An Example of How Trouble Is
Remedied.


An illustration of the advantages the
city gets from plumbing inspections APP
pears from correspondence that has just
passed through the hands of Health Of
fiocr LeHardy. The original complaint is
as follows:
I respectfully ask that you send some
one TO inspect the sinks at my residence,
as there Is a disagreeable Odor coming
from them at all times"
DR.. LeHardy referred the matter TO
Plumbing Inspector Cosgrove, and after
an investigation he made the following re-
port:
After examining the sink in the kitchen
of house referred TO, l found that the
waste pipe under the floor was leaking.
The agent for the property asked me
about the trouble, and upon being in
formed of 1t, sent a plumber to have the
fault remedied. The agent told me ne
had spent a great deal of money in an eff
fort to get the trouble fixed, but the opiA
ions of the plumbers differed. with the re-
suit that he was enable 10 have the work
done properly. He now says he sees the
value of having an inspector"
Where there is trouble of any kind, the
proper course is 10 have the inspector cali
He is told the facts, thoroughly inspects
the building, and then advises the best
way OF having the repairs made. For
each inspection there is a nominal charge,
which is appropriated to the payment of
the Inspector salary.

NOTHING TO AUTHORIZE 1T.
Judge FerriH VIII Not Order an
Election for Commissioners.

Judge FerriII VIII Not Order an
Election for Commissioners.
Judge Hampton L. FerriH of the Court
of Ordinary has turned down the appllea-
ton Of the property owners of Warsaw
for a new election for commissioners While
his order does not read that way, it is evil
dent from his decision that he has decid-
ed he can do nothing in the case.
Something more than a month ago or
less, twenty-one of the prominent citizens
and property owners of that suburb made
application TO him, asking him to order a
new election for commissioners, on the
ground that there were only two of the
original members of the board elected by
the people then serving upon it, Since that
time Judge Ferrill has carefully looked
up all the laws relating to the matter
and he came to the conclusion yesterday
that he could not grant the request. He
stated simply that he could find nothing
in the laws which would authorize him
TO comply with the request made, and
therefore he could nos order another cleo
ton.

The Hamilton Is looked upon as one of
the best boats in the service. though she
is an old one She is commanded by Capt

the service, and an old mariner. Capt.

Cuban coast she was near Havana, Ma
riel. Cardenas, Bahia Honda and Matan-
zas, and was one of the three last YES

FACTIONS COULDN'T AGREE.
REPUBLICANS WITHOUT A CON-
GRESSIONAL CANDIDATE.

District Convention a Hub-ub From
Beginning TO AdjOurnment-Ef-
fort to IndOrse an Independent
Candidate Failed and NO Nominal
tiOn Made-Attempts to Organize
the Congressional District Com
mittee Unsuccessful and the old
Committee Claims to Hold over.
There was a warm time at the Republi-
can congressional convention of the First
district yesterday at Odd Fellows hall on
Duffy street. A number of contested dele
cations added TO the excitement, and the
convention opened with considerable con-
tention as to which of several should be
seated.
The convention was much after the fash
ion of the man who came into the world
without anything and went out in like
manner. 1t met for a number of purposes,
but accomplished none of them. One of the
objects was the nomination or Endorsement
of a candidate for Congress, but the dele
gates succeeded in doing neither. Another
was TO change the district organization,
but in this the convention also failed.
Two factions showed themselves at the
start. L. M Pleasant and ]. r. Delegal,
both claimed they were regularly elected
chalrmen, while w. C. Moore and H. c.
Warren wanted to act as secretaries. Capt
Pleasant presided. however, and after or
der was gained, Col. John H. Deveaux
moved that a committee of nine be APP
pointed on credentials. In short time the
committee found there was one contesting
delegation. 1t was from Burke county. The
contest was readily settled however, by
seating both delegations on half votes
Rev. Z. K. Love was elected permanent
chairman of the meeting, and j. e. War
rem permanent secretary. This brought the
convention TO the considerat ton of the OBJ
ject of its meeting, which was the nomi-
nation of a candidate for Congress. BY
some it was thought the independent can
didate might be Endorsed, but no definite
action had been determined as to this.
Col Deveaux spoke on the question of
nominating a candidate for Congress. He
said it appeared the Republicans had no
available man to run, and in view OF this
state of affairs, he moved that the indie
pendent be Endorsed by the Republicans.
This was the signal for loud expression
of opinion on all sides, none of the dele
Eates apparently being able to suppress
themselves. In view of the apparent dis
satisfaction, Col. Deveaux withdrew mis-
motion. No action was taken therefore,
and the Republicans in the First are with
ont a standard bearer, at least for the
present campaign.
Repeated Efforts were made to elect n
permanent chairman of the congressional
committee for the next two years. The
contention between Capt. Pleasant and j.
r. Delegal is that they have been regu-
larly elected for four years, and neither
were willing to retire at this time. Both
claimed they had two years yet to serve.
Under this state of facts it was apparent
there was no need trying to elect either,
and, after roll call, the convention ac-
cOrdngly adjourned sine die.

Court Refuses to Sell the Gray stock
Mt the Prices offered.

In the case of H. B. Clafin & Co.,
against Christopher Gray & Co., ct. al,
two bids for the entire stock were sub
mtted to the Superior Court yesterday.
There was one bid of $1,000 from Messrs.
jackson, Metzger & Co, and another of
81 $50 from L. Bluestein. The court re-
iected both bids, considering that they
were not sufficiently up to the value of
the stock. In rejecting these bids the
court instructed the receiver, Mr. Max l..
Byck to continue the sale at retail under
the former order of the court. 1t was
thought at one time that a much larger
bid could be secured, but it appears that
a good deal of the stock had been sold
since an offer was made, and the amount
bid was materially reduced.

THE SEVENTH.

The majority of the officers and men
of the New York Seventh Regiment have
never ceased to regret that the command
did not volunteer TO go TO Cuba under
the Presidents first call. Why 1t refused
10 do so has been explained over and
over again. but the great American public
only understands that the war is going
on. that our countrymens blood has been
smiled at Guantanamo and other places
and that the invincible Seventh Is at
home.
The regiment Is at home because 1t took
too long to decide whether 1t could AFFORD
IN volunteer or not. 1t is true 1t has OF
late been making desperate efforts to be
allowed to make a sally upon the span
iards under the second call for troops;
hut. alas for its hopes, the Governor OF
New York has just decided that he can
not allow IL TO go away. Through the
states Adiutant- General, he declares he
feels IL to be his duty to keep the seventh
and several other commands In the state
as ian honorable home guard. 10 De
used In case soldiers should be needed to
suppress riots. etc.
The use of the aforementioned term IN
this connection is unfortunate for the
seventh. Down this way at least, nome
guard" is suggestive of an organization
composed of boys and very old men. And
the word honorable" is suggestive OF
ancient-that is to say, the ancient and
honorable home guard Of New York.
SO far as we can see, nothing now re-
mains for the Seventh TO do but to get
up n Fourth-of-July parade. We should
think that II properly appealed to. Mayor
Van Wyck would furnish a platoon OF
police to keep the street urchins from
hooting and jeering at it as 1t marched
along the streets.

CUBANs AT JACKSONVILLE.
What is Thought Of Them-A Sad
History.

Correspondence Of the Dispatch)
JACKSONVILLE, FLA. June 90
There are great many Cubans
in Jacksonville, and 1 am struck with
the fact that opinion as to the character
OF these people is nearly as much divided
as it is in Richmond.
BY some it is held that they are the best
of men, while many others. when asked
their opinion regarding them, elevate the
eyebrows and give that suggestive shrug
that express the spoken views Of so
many in Virginia.
Cubans are not like Americans. They
are hot-headed impulsive, easily ex-
cited, 'shard to hold down." as an Ameri-
can would express II. Their admirers
admit this much. Those who do not like
the race say they are unreliable and
treacherous, and not really patriotic but
want SPANS hold on Cuba broken so
that the natives may have a chance TO
make fortunes in the corrupt way in
which they have been amassed by the
Spanish officials.
The Dispatch correspondent has been
at pains TO get at the real truth. Both
sides seem 10 be right and both wrong.
There are good Cubans and bad Cubans
The jails and penitentiaries In the United
States attest that the same Is true OF
our country. 1t takes all kinds TO make
a world. and the Cubans find the aphor-
ism as true as the people OF other coun-
tries. Many OF the Cuban citizens OF
