II would respectfully call the attention
of the Commissioners to the following mat

! the horrible odor arising from the refuse
dumped into the water at the dump on the
property OF the Washington Brick Com
pany. 1t is positive menace to health,
besides being a nuisance to everybody iiv-
ing in the vicinity.
Another matter is the condition Of the
roadway on Florida Avenue northeast,
about zoe feet either way from Trinidsd
Avenue. caused by the sewers bsfng incap-
able of carrying of the water of an oTdi-
nary rain. In consequence Of this fact the
top dressing of the street Is all washed CT
and In its place is deposited thick layer
of what is mud in wet weather and binding
dust in dry weather. The mud should tie
removed, the holes washed in the roadted
filled up, and the surface should be given
a heavy dressing Of gravel, ald the centre
of the street raised where it is now lower
than either gutter.
"The east side of Thirteenth Street, be-

never been paved, and is now in such con-

The park was fully as attractive as usual,

1ANcroN's CASE CONTINUED.
Neither Side Ready for Trial Owing
to the Absence of Witnesses.

to the Absence Of Witnesses.
The trial of James Lancton. who is
charged with the murder Of Mrs. Bette
Wren, which was to have begun yester-
day in Criminal Court No. 1, was post
poned until Monday next. When the case
was called Ashley NJ. Gould, representing
the Government. stated to the court that
enc Of the most important witnesses for
the prosecution was out of the city and
would not return until about o'clock in
the afternoon. He suggested, however.
tina. the enhancing Of the jury might
be commenced and other testimony to be
offered by the Government be submitted.
Then, Mr.. Gould said. If the absent wit
ness had not arrived the hearing could be
continued until this morning.
After considering the matter Justice
Clabaugh granted a postponemeEt OF the
trial until Monday next. 1t is probable,
however, that at that time the defence
will move for further postpor ement on
account of the absence OF witnesses. Mr..
Macdonald is associated with Mr.. Fitz-
gerald for the defence.
