SOMETHING DEAD.-For several
days a gunnysack has lain in the ditch
near the corner of Fourth and East
Washington streets and from within it
most offensive odor has seasoned the
atmosphere for a block around Thus
far no one has had the temerity to in
vestigate its contents to ascertain
whether it is a dead cat or another in
stallment of the remains of that dead
girl that New York officials have been
engaged in discovering from time to

in the ditch and it is sincerely hoped

tralize the effects of the nauseating
perfume. 1t would have been greatly
appreciated if some city official had
removed the sack some days ago, but
