TOMBSTONE BROKEN.

Mrs. Emma Jensen, Of Is Fayette
street, has report ed to the authorities
that the top of a headstone in her
family plot in Alpine cemetery has
been broken off. Such u. deed,
whether accidental or designed, is of
sucha despicable character as to merit
the wholesome disgust of every citi-
zen. and failure to make restitution,
if the deed were accidental, is as bad,
as breaking the stone with a purpose.
If the identity of the guilty party is
ascertained. legal proceedings will be
instituted.

OBJECTIONS
TO GARBAGE.
and Residents in Madison Avenue
and South First Street
Complain.

People who live in Madison avenue
and South First street are very indig-
nant at the way the city garbage is
being piled in the gully--between those
streets, and, to make matters worse,
the place was set on fire and nearby
property was threatened.
For many weeks the contractor, who
carts the city garbage, has been fill
ing up this gully and as the weather
grows warmer it is becoming very dis
agreeable to saythe least. The people
who live on these streets are talking
of getting up u petition to be presented
to the Board of Aldermen, demanding
that the work be stopped.
In conversation with q NEWS re-
porter. this morning, one of the citi-
zens who has lived in Madison avenue
for many years, said that he was thor
oughly disguised with the way the
city allowed the garbage contractor
fill in the gullies within city liWiN.
This man said that he had seesf Dr..
Ramsay, the health Inspection and tolc
him of the facts, but nP action had
been taken. +"
If the petition is circulated, which
it is almost certain now that it will
be, it Willie signed by every resident
of bothrthese streets, as well as the
people of Gordon and Paterson streets.
