REGARDING COMPLAINTS
New-York yesterday had another one Of those
wretched days that have been SO frequent this
winter. Fog king all day. The light snow thar
fell Thursday night played havoc with the SKA
ing and the sleet and rain that succeeded the snow
made the walking the most dsagreeable OF the
season. The streets Of the city Unsafe for use,
especially in the early part Of the day
When New-Yorkers first sailed forth tho most
impetuous OF them began the day by trying 10 stand
their heads. The sleet had formed thin coat
Ing of ice over everything out Of doors. and the
ways OF the evil and the righteous alike were i'm
partially slippery.
The hospitals heard from the slippery sidewalks
early in the day. DR.. Oswald Warner. Of NO. 21S

his leg. He was taken 10 Bellevue Hospital

home and disocated her hip.
James Beno. Of No. $50 Morris-ave., fell In West

he taken Fordham Hospital.
The STRENGTHENING Department appeared 20 be
helpless, and did next TO nothing 70 make walking
