Action of the Health Officer
Movements of the Tarions Authorities
,A. detailed account of the visit of the Sani
ytb Committee of the Board of Health to the
Bedford street region was given in the
Bulletin last week. It was then stated that
Mr. William P. Troth, the Cliief Clerk of the
Board, had taken copious notes of the different
plactV which required immediate attention.
■ These places were on Alaska, Stafford, Baker,
Lisbou, Darcy, Gousha, St. Mary, Cnllen.and
Seventh streets, and Dockertles’ court, Cove
place, Madison court, Brown’s court, Mo
Cann’s ‘ ediirt,. Kain’s court and O’Harta’s
court. This list, by order of .‘the Chairman of
tlie Sanitarv Committee, was, on the23d inst.,
presented to Mr. John E. Addioks.tho Health
Officer, with a request to' have the nuisance?
there complained of abated, according to the
rules of the Board, after the Usual notices are
served on the property owners.
Orders to'ttae Inspectors.
Mr. Addicks on the same day (23d inst.) ad
dressed Messrs. Merritt Gibson and Win. L.
Williams, Inspectors, as follows: ,
“ You will with all possible despatch notify
the owners or agents ot the above properties
to have the nuisances ahated accordmg to the,
rules of the Board of Health; no extra time to
he allowed—and reportpromptiy to the.
i It required some little time to hunt up the
owners of the different properties marked by-
aftpr notice
was given, street-cleaners, white-washers and
sink-cleaners were busy at work, and are still
engaged in removing the nuisances and, purl-,
fying the filthy places.
The Attack on the Kookerics. i
The following note was addressed to the,.
Building Inspectors, ontho 23d:
“ Gentlemen—l beg your prompt attention to
house bio. 710 Alaska street, .!' ourth Mr ard. I t
• should he torn down. Also, 531 Lisbon street,
.Fourth Ward-a dangerous building, caving
in It should be torn down. Throughout
this district are a large number ofshan-'
ties and rookeries, uangorous to life and
■limb, positively injurious to health, anil
the direct ciwse o/diseases. I ask your thorough
inspection in-all-this neighborhood, and
speedy action. Respectfully,
1 «• John E. Addicks, Health Officer.
lu-accordance with this request, the Build
ing Inspectors have been making an inspec
tion of the neighborhood complained of. Yes
terday the Board was in that locality nearly
the entire morning, and agreed to notify the
owners of about twenty houses on Alaska
street, between Fifth and Eighth; Lisbon
street from. Fifth to Sixth ; Baker street, be
low Seventh, and on some of the small courts
in the rear of South and Bainbridgo streets, to
-■ have the buildings removed.
The Hlayor Notified.
Mr. Addicks sent to the Mayor, on the 23d,
the following communication •
" TlnK P.M. Fox. Mayor.— »Sir ■; The Street
Contractors of the Board of Health complain
that they are blamed for filthy -streets in-
Alaska street, Fourth Ward, and adjacent
streets and alleys of that district; and, although
they may faithfully clean said streets to-day,
they'will to-morrow be in amore or Jess filthy
condition, owing to the fact that the inhabi
tants during the*night-throw- all-their filth,
garbage, ashes and rubbish in the streets.
Allow" me to ask that you will order your
Police officers to correct this evil, and if in
your judgment required, detail special officers
to patrol that district and assist to punish all
—offenders. : I__
“ With high respect,
JIJUHN.K. Addicks, Health Officer.”
The Mayor, on receipt of this note,promptly
directed Chief Mulholland to instruct the
policemen to arrest aml prosccnte all persona
found throwing filth and garbage in the street.
In regard to the detail of special officers to
patrol the Alaska street region, he declares
that his force is hot large enough to make such
a detail. As far as he is able, be will heartily
co-operate with the Board of Health in abating
the nuisances which exist in that section.
Bedford Street to be Washed.
The' Board of Health, at its meeting on Tues
day, received the report of the Sanitary. Com
mittee on this subject. ‘ It was then resolved
to furnish a hose for the use of the Rev. Mr.
Cong,in order to purify the street in the neigh
borhood of the Mission-house. Wm. H.
Grimes was elected an additional inspector
for six months.
Tbe Duty of Physicians.
There are frequent rumors that contagious
diseases are prevailing in Alaska street, borne
time since it was said that relapsing fever was
faging extensively there, hut the mortality re
ports thus far fail to show any deaths as hav
ing occurred in thatportion of the city. The
general health law of 1818 has a provision in
regard to contagious diseases, and as pliysi-.
cians either neglect or are not aware of it, we
publish the section:
“ Section XXV. Every person practising
physic in the city, districts and townships
aforesaid, who shall have a patient 'laboring
under a pestilential or contagious disease
(measles excepted), shall forthwith make a re
port in writing to the Health Officer, and for
neglecting so to do shall be considered guilty
-of a-misdemeanor, and subject to a fiuu-not
exceeding fifty dollars.” ~
Hnlnrln and the Uunrdinnsof the Poor.
On Tuesday the Health Officer received an
anonymous note stating that a man and wife
were, lying- “sick-with a-coatagious. diaeawtr
with no one to help or to care for them,” at a
house in Cross alley, St. Mary street, beliw
Eighth. The matter was referred to Dr. Good
man. the Port Physician, and he made an in
vestigation. He foumla colored woman, An
nie Murray, sick with malarial fever of a low
type, not contagious. The husband had suf
fered with the same disease, but was able to
walk out. ■ The family were destitute, and Dr.
G'oodman recommended that the attention of
the Guardians of the Poor be called to the
case. Mr. Addicks at once sent notice to
the proper officer of the Guardians of the
, Poor 7 but there was nobody in the office au
thorized to issue an order for the admission
of sick women, into the Almshouse, and she
had to remain in her dirty and badly-eared- i
for room, at the risk of her life, until trie next
day. The Guardians of the Poor ought to
pass a resolution authorizingsuoh paupers to
be admitted to the Almshouse on an order of
the Health Officer, as such cases are more
likely to come under his notice than that of
the District Visitor of the Poor.
Denib and Destitution.
Another circumstance which tends to show
the misery and danger existing iii this locality
has just transpired. Inspector Williams, in
going biß rounds on Monday, accidentally dis
covered the body of a'man which had been
locked up in a room in boiisfe No. 70b St. Mary
street for eleven days. _ When the Coroner
held an inquest in the case, the parties in
‘ teres ted said that they would attend to the
burial, but for some reason, most probably
poverty, the matter was not attended to, and
hut for the-accidental discovery by Mr. Wil
liams, the body might have remained there
for weeks. Tue reader can imagine what
■would-..have been the result. Upon uotiflca
tioii, the remains were buried by the Coroner*.
The Filth Mountain Attacked.
'During the visitation of the (Sanitary. Com
mittee, last week, special attention was at
tracted to an enormous motiild of ashes
’minglftd'with'cveiy'hnaglnablo 'and nnimagi--
: liable description of filth, about forty feet in
length and lour feet de.ep on the level. The
sickness now existing in the District seems to
radiate from this horrible centre, which has
been utterly unmolested lor five years past.
East week, the necessity, for its immediate
removal was strongly urged, and we rejoice to
he able to report that it has been attacked in
earnest, aud is now being rapidly removed,
The neighborhood will experience a long-lost
sensation o'f cleanness, when this mountain of
filth disappears.
Deugrheriy’s Hovels Tumbling Down.
One range of the miserable hovels in bougli
ert v ’n court' saved the Building inspectors
ome trouble, - yegferduy.'by turobUng down of
-hemw-lves. Boards and rubbish' had been
jiiled upon their flat roofs in valto efforts to
ieep out the tain, uut.il the rotten rafters gave
vray under the weight.. Tho roofs only had
ibout seven feet to-fall, and thd-brisb'was not
iccompanicd by aiiy lqss.,: The inmates were
mostly in the open air, .and the furniture Of
the entire-row was not worth five dollars.
The Death of Michael Mahan--Tub IN
QUEST INTO IT BY CORONER . TAVDOB. —TIIO
death of the Unfortunate' Mahan, at: the Epis
copal'Hospital; on Tuesday last, hasbeon. al
ready reported., The man was admitted to It
on March 30th, with a leg fractured.as then al
leged,in the course of a belligerent demonstra
tion against him on the part of his wlte.
The parties lived atao, 1218 Maple street.
Malian was a laborer. Mary Mahan is appa
rently a virago, from whose face every vestige
of God’s image seemed,, this morning,.to have
been battered out. Bum seems to have been
to her a destroying demon. She had been ar
rested, it is said, for and for
various excesses while laboring under vinous
excitement. ' ... , , .
An intelligent little girl; daughter of tluv,
parties, was the first witness called. Her
testimony was that on March 30 her mother,
came home in a .state of intoxication. The
woman ordered her- hysband: to go to work.
She accelerated his movement, to.the side walk,
first by throwing atbim his boots, and follow
ing it up by hurnna against him his trunk.
By this lie was knocked dowii.' Kef ell against
a stoiie door-step, .and fractured next to the
patella the most seusitivtjportion of the osse
ous structure of the human frame, the head
ot the femoral bong. Tlie child upon the .wit
ness stand didn’t deem,her father to be more
than an occasional tippler. Her mother, she
said, was. kind’ when sober, but was. a Fury
when liquor had ascended to her brain. Her
father at the time of the occurrence.,of till?
aflair'would seem.to have been indulging in
a prolonged debauch. ' . ..
Doctor Shapleigh’s post mortem examination
showed a fracture of tlie : neck of the right
thigh-bone. The reunion ■ had .been com
meuced, and the injury should not have been
' fataii. There was a very great 'collection of
water in tbe brain and in its appendatory
ventricles. This suffusion caused the man’s
death. It is the almost inevitable, result ot ex
cessive drinking,. In cases.:of delirium tre
mens these symptoms are rarely absent. Let
a drinking man meet with* an accident to his
bones, deposed Dr. Shapleigli, especially -a
man suffering with fracture ot -the leg (so that
he caiinot'niove), and dd/rium almost in vari
ably sets in. This fracture is an element in
the cause of this man’s death only because it’
'involved.'"-tho necessity for keeping the
man quiet. The man himself admitted| that
lie had- been stricken: with jnania a potu foe
.-ome time previouß.to. the .hour Lis release
by death. In a case like the present the evi
dence is not only presumptive, but conclusive,
The fracture of the femur was but a remote .
Cause ot the man’s death. After the witnesses
and listeners bad retired, the jury and the
Coroner returned a verdict that the deceased
_ lost his life from the effects of alcoholic stimu
lants, intensified and heightened by the en
forced restraint of a disabled limb. ■
