GARBAGE COMPLAINTS.
Contractor Johnson Tells Why He Omitted
to Serve a Portion of His District.
To the Editor of the Gazette: The
public has looked at one side of the gar
bage question, and I want to show them the
other side. The reasou the garbage has not
been taken from Eighth and Lombard
streets, is because the people there have
saved ft for John McClivlin, who has been
always hauling it over Eleventh street
bridge, for his own pigs. I was at Eighth
aud Lombard to-day; at 817 Lombard street
I talked with several parties, both ladies
and gentlemen, who said he had been in the
habit of takiug their slop, and now he has
failed to take it. 1 met him the other morn
ing and I told him that if he did not
take the slop out I would have to take it
away from him, and he promised me that he
would. When I first went on the district
he showed
Eighth to Ninth and from Lombard to Pop
He asked me to save that for him and
I have been doing it. I have not hauled a
load of slop over Eleventh street bridge this
year. John E. Johnson,

boys no more than Harkins, and they pun
ished him as he has never beeu sluce he first
commenced to pitch ball. Nearly everyone
had their batting clothes on and, had it not
been that the little pitcher ol the Quick
steps was tired out and unaccustomed to
pitching two games in
alun, a bad shut out would have
been given the Jersey boys. He
become rattled somewhat in the third and
fourth innings by fielding errors, but picked
up again after that and settled down to hard
work. #
Poor Valentine, the way the boys opened
up on him was a caution. They knocked
him the liret inning for six hits and five
runs. The next inning it was four more,
and in the seventh five more were made.
For the home club Kienzel bad four
singles, Benners two singles and a double,
Fox a brace of doubles and a single, Albert
a brace of three baggers and a single, Ht nry
two singles and a double, Snyder two singles
and all the rest one each. The fielding of
O'Brien at second was simply perfect and
Kienzel caught two hard flies at centre
and threw splendidly. Snyder at first was
superb aud has no equal anywhere. Waitt
covered the usual amount of ground at left
and played a good game. Fox and Albert
made good stops at third aud short. 8t.
Lawrence caught Henry excellently and un
derstands him thoroughly.
For the Trentons, Bastian at second played
an excellent game. Lynch caught without
a passed ball, and made some great catches
of fly tips. Goodman, though poor in the
field, did some fine baiting, having a brace
of doubles and two singles. Lynch, Quin *
ton and Valentine also batted well. The

A Dangerous Nuisance.
To the Editor of the Gazette : My
attention has been frequently called to the
horrible stench arising from the open sewei
at Fourth and Poplar streets. In passing
the sewer I wonder how the residents live
there. This sewer carries all the filth from
Poplar street and the cross streets, nearly to
the Brandywine, toge ».her with all the filth
washed down Walnut street and the cross
streets running into the sewer being
ducted down Fourth street, from Walnut.
All the filth from a slaughter house is
emptied into this receptacle, and, to increase
the nuisance, a number of cesspools have
recently been drained Into it from Dew
houses erected several squares above. The
sewer is entirely open from Fourth to Third
streets, in the rear of the houses on Poplar.
This nuisance should be abated at once. The
residents should be protected from this vile
sink hole. It not only d- stroys their com
fort, but it deprecates the value of real
estate. Some years ago there
In the opsuing at Fourth aud Poplar streets,
which prevented the stench irom annoying
the residents, tut the trap was taken out
by the Street Commissioner for some
cause, and the sewer left with the large
opening to torment the residents in that
vicinity. In its present condition it is not
only injurious to health, but it in a great
measure destroys business; depreciates the
value of property, and renders the homes of
the people sickening and unhealthy. It is
time this nuisance was abated by the proper
authorities and the residents given that pro
tection which they have a right to demand.

The Recent Kxpulwiou of
from St. Pelentburg.
London, August 22.—The Timen* corre
spondent at 8t. Petersburg, In hie dispatch
referring: to the expulsion from St. Peters
burg of an American Jew, in accordance
with tie* law forbidding Jews to live in that
city, 8>.ys it is not likely that the Russian
officials have been over strict in such
cases, in view oI the repeated protests by
the British and American Governments in
regard to the treatment of the Jews. The
Jew who was expelled declined to ask the
Prefect as a iavor to allow him to remain
until he bail transacted his business, as he
could not demand such treatment as a right.
Tiie correspondent adds that
difficulty is more of an economical than a
religious one there is little prospect of the
removal of the prohibition against Jews liv
ing in 8t. Petersburg or Moscow,
thousands ol .lews who do live in both
places either belong to the privileged class
skillfully evade compliance with the law.

THE MISSING YACHT MYSTERY.
Two Bodies In Yacntainan's Clothes Cost
Up by the Sea.
Tremont, Mass., August 22.—At yester
day noon the dead body of a man dres»ed in
a yachtman's shfrt. with a life-preserver on,
was found at West Falmouth,and this morn
ing a second body was found near the same
place. Their remains were buried above
high water mark, so that they may be in a
position to be taken up for identification if
necessary.
The fact that the bodies washed ashore
were dressed in yachting shirts, and that on
one body was a life preserver marked "C.
H. Northam" has led to the conclusion here
that the drowned men were two of the crew
of the missing yacht MyBtery. The yachts
men borrowed five life preservers irom the
steamer C. R. Norton while at New Haven,
Conn. A gentleman has started from that
city for Falmouth to 6ee if he can identify
th»5 bodies.
About 20 members of the New Haven
Yacht Club went to Port Jefferson, L. I.,
shortly after 11 o'clock to-night, in search
oj the crew of the ill-fated sloop Mystery.
The shore will be patrolled from that port
to Montauk Poiut. The prevailing opinion
is that the bodies must seek that shore,
there was a strong northeast wind soon after
she left port.
