Inspection of the Bedford Street District —lncrease .of the Fever... Saul tory Work Not Done—lncompetence of the Health Agents—Hor rible Fink in the Shuns. A pretty thorough investigation of the-Bed ford street district, yesterday afternoons en ables us to lay before the public some very im portant facts concerning the sanitary condi tion of that locality, and the operations ofthe Board of Health. An attempt is being made to.disguise the truth in relation to the malarial fever which is raging in Bedford stre'et, and the vicinity; but we tbiuk it better that the _people should be made acquainted with it, even if it alatuis thank - a-little. -- The indifierence that is displayed 'by the people and the au thorities to the evils existing in this horrible plague spot is simply criminal; and if their in terest cannot be aroused by appeals to their benevolence, perhapA their selfish fears can be. excited, when we say that the relapsing fever has been spreading gradtzally among the wretched hovels of the district eversince its appearance was reported, several weeks ugh. Two Hundred yietlais. • It has seized upon about two hundred vic tuns already, some of whom are dead; and --- it strikes down others every day. In the Alms house Hospital there are nearly two hundred fever patients taken from the neighborhond of --- Bediord - street. The Almshouse Full. This hospital is full, and word has come that no more cases can be received. The Small pox Hospital has been thrown open to them, and two or three times a day the ambulance of the Board of Health visits the infected dis trict and hauls away a few of those who are sick with the fever. The Last Batch of Patients. On Saturday there were eight or ten cases; between Saturday and Monday there were. five or six deaths in the street; yesterday there were thirteen patients ready to go to the hos pital. Most of the people in the neighbor hood are badly frightened, and are willing to submit quietly to any sanitary measure; but others continue obstinate and filthy.. „ Closing' libe'Nehools.' - - The missionary is afraid be will have to ask for permission to close up his school, for he fears to bring his teachers and the little obil - --dreninteisuch-close contact with the disease. 'What the Board of Health Is Doing. Any one who reads this simple statement of fact:inlay fancy that he sees the members of the Board of Health and their agents tramp; - ing t biigh — tlircdistrictworking - energetically - and with a will, striving valiantly and intel gently- - to check this disease and to remove the stuff upon which it feeds—the dreadful filth -with - whielfthe iielghborhood is - curse& Instead of this the Board of,Health is repre individual,„ whom we convict, out of his own mouth, of being wholly incompetent and unlit' for the nosition he holds. ' The Foul Cellars Unclosed. Tae. Cellars which breed this fever and which the Port Physician said, ten days ago, should - be closed up, are still open, and although one of 'two oP h aver - be en.. white washe di" the larger-portion- of_them have not been touched. From these filthy dens the fever patients are hauled, in the morning; before; night other _lwretebed creatures crawl into them and are Tiffedte-d-.--This-ha.s-liappene.-d--overand over again in a score of cellars, and yet_ no _action taken in the matter by the authorities; Twenty Fent° Feet of Filth. In Darcy street is a yard iu which is a heap Of filth - of which we spoke several days ago. -The-Boaril-of-Health ordered-it to be removed.- It has been there about ten years, and the ------same-orfler.ohas_been_issued a. vast number of times and always without any more effect than if the Board of Health should issue an e - dictroommanding - Pocono - mountain-to - move off somewhere else. We went in to see this muck-heap yester,day. A Queer Sanitary Measure. The filth to the depth of about one foot had been removed and poured in an adjoining cellarway, closing it up. Over the rest of. ate heap a layer of coal ashes had been placed to hide it. Sergeant Dufly struck a spade into it and turned out a mass of putrified vegetable and animal matter, offal and all manner of horrible uncleanness• The stench was terrible enough to turn the strongest stomach ; and the stuff itself is in siillicierit iibtindance to breed a dozen different kinds of pestilence. 'This heap is three feet deep yet, and would fill fifty carts. The Inspector is Doubtful. The Health Boards' incompetent inspector, said in our presence that it had been there, to his knowledge, six years, and subsequently he ventured the opinion that he " was not quite sure it - was - a - nuisance, after'all!' We think it is about time the Board of Health was repre sented in this neighborhood by a man whose processes of thought are not so slow tliat he requires six years to determine what is a nui sance, and even then arrives at wrong conelu -SIODS. Another PlaM ue Spot Ou the other side orthe same street there-is .a yard in which there was once a cellar. This ccelba is how filled SIX feet deep with ghastly tilth of all kinds, and by the side of it is a cess pool which looks as if it had not been troubled since the war of 1812. The inspector did not know that anything was wrong there, either. Official Timidity Neatly opposite the Mission there are two or three frame houses in which the fever is - raging. The Inspector was directed by the Board to have the people moved out, and the tenements cleaned. The Inspector mildly told the inhabitants to get out, but the inhabitants called down from the second-story windows, and said it " would take a better man than the Inspector to put them out." This discouraged the worthy official so much that he gave up the battle and went and sat down ou a tire plug. A Fever Patient Bight at the corner of Seventh and,Bedford streets a WOlAlall Llait , upon the pavement, her face swollen with erysipelas and her :body wild with the fever. She had been there from early in the morning ; it was then four in the -afternoon. . . . Who Inspector Doubts Again. It was intended that she should be sent to the hospital; but the inspector said she wouldn't go when the ambulance came around; so as this was a free country and he had no authority to move her, he let her he there: and there she will lie until she dies, probablyi If she had yellow fever or cholera we suppose the result would be tilt same. Nobody would have authority to remove her if she sent POISODOUS malaria out into the city with every broth of air that touched her foul and filthy person Another !Patient. Around in one of the side streets was another poor creature - lying upon thepavemottilfunk and with her limbs twitching with the :fever. ()body had any right to touch her either. A tiotice" will probably be served on them both if they remain in the fitreettoo long; that is the only thing that anybody can do,:appa rently, with the Bedford street landlords and An Unsavory'Bone NUL .

The Board of Health has done something ; but it has trifled with the work. Its slight labors resemble the eflorts of a man to stop a colander from leaking by plugging one of the boles. It has refused to : beed the published recommendations of its own Physielan, and it has entrusted the work of supervision and of enforcement of its orders to unworthy and unimportant agents, who seem to have a per sonal interest in refusing to institute harsh or radical measures. ' Thirty Years of Uncleanness. • We are informed by a respectable and re liable man who has lived in the Bedford street district for thirty years, that it has not been cleaned properly once, during all that time; and We believe it.

LITERARY SOCIETY OF THE YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN A SSOCIATION.—The public meet ing of the Literary Society of the Young :Men's Christian Association was held, last evening, at.the Hall, No. 1210 Chestnut street, President Barrett in the chair. The exercises consisted of choice selections of music and literary exercises of a varied character. De clamations were rendered by Harry J. Holt and Ashmead Simons. Readings were given by Thomas .I Hunt and 'Francis - A. Osbourn. A very, able essay, on the subject "Things that are to Come," was read by Robert Simpson; and an oration,_ by R. It.

A Hxnoic Acy.-:-Yesterday - afternoon, about one o'clock, two young men hired a boat at Fairmount, with the intention of taking a row up the river, -They had not pro ceeded far when, by some mishap, the boat was overturned, and the men were thrown into the water, and would certainly have per ishedhad it not been for Mr. Harry Coulter, of PittSburgh (the champion oarsman, - who defeated Hamill), who was at the boat-house of the Quaker City. Barge' Club at the time. With some difticulty,he succeeded in running out a boat, and pulled out to the drowning men, who were ' almost exhausted when' refiched. At • one time it seemed as if Mr. Coulter and those whom he had preserved from death would be carried over the dam, hut Mr. Coniter's admirable management of the boat prevented such a catastrophe. I . BADLY BEATEN.—This morning abput ; two o'clock a gang of roughs who were on San soul street, near, Eighth, got into a 011701 among themselves.

Oak Ball, the great -clothing-house of - Wanamaker & Brown, at Sixth and Market streets, having been completed, was 'thrown open to the public yesterday. Ten years ago was Oak Ball established. Then it comprised but three rooms. The enterprising proprietors soon gained the favorable opinion of the pub lic for their good work and liberal treatment of customers, and their buiiinesii rapidly in creased. Their establishment became too small, and the entire building was taken. This in turn was replaced with an iron-fronted building of a magnitude which ,niade people open their eyes wide with wonder, which was soon increased, *hen, buying 'the property clear through to Minor Sti,Mr. SVana,maker ex tended his house the whole length of the block on Sixth street. Then came various -smaller extensions and improvements, duly noticed at 'the time-; and now comes _ the last. and greatest change of all. Last fall Oak Hall was continually crowded. Sometimes, especially on Saturdays, the throng was so great as to in• terfere with the comfort of the customers ; if not with the sales or the proprietor. This suggested, and even necessitated, greater ac commodations' in -spite of the fact that Oak Hall was then already the "Largest Clothing House in Philadelphia." So, securing the,two lots next to him on Market street—lots-cover ing an area equal to, if not greater than the loth already covered-Mr. Wanamaker Went straight to work to build a new house to make Oak Hall " twice as large as formerly." This -was only about five months ago, -and yet, with' such energy has this work been 'pushed forward, that it is already completed. Now we have a grand and imposing ' structure -- -making,-by the most conspicuous business establishment on our great commercial street. It stands six stories high, with a trout of iron, beautifully designed, and covers some sixty or seventy feet on Market street, also extending along Sixth street to Minor street 106 feet, covering an area of about 11,000 square feet. There is no -needless ornamentation, and everything wears a business aspect, the -various depart ments being admirably arranged and well adapted for the special branch of business for whieletheyare - intended. The upper stories are devoted to . " making-up . ' stock, ex amining goods, and storing materials • not yet cut into garments. The second and third stories are a series of.. grand salesroomf), ar ranged with special reference to the various kinds of goods to be sold in them. The first floor is divided between theboys' department, the furnishing goods department, the custom department, and a general salesroom. The first floor contains also the offices of the- es tablishment, including the counting-rooms, the " editor's office" .(devoted to advertising), and the two oftices of Mr. Wanamaker—one a, general office for the transaction of ordinary. business, and the other a private office. The establishinent is very' complete, and is both a credit to the city and - an honor to the , man who has in the short space of ten years made himself master of the business which demands such accommodations. POMMES n'Antoon..-I\lr. A. W. Harrison,- the very 'versatile Secretary of the Philadel phia Horticultural Society, will, this evening, give to all ;who are disposed to enjoy -it a gratuitous treat. It will take the shape of an essay:,. It might, perhaps, be termed a con verkttional address. The topic will "be The Tomato!'---The-tomato is now a table institu tion, whose dietary value is second only •to that of our friends,the Murphies. Twenty-five years ago the tomato plant was cultivated like hollyhocks—tor the sake of thegleam shot from among its leaves by the scarlet .of • its fruit. The farmer's daughter Dorothy, to 'the tufts of.'striped- grass and the hydrangea that flourished in a painted butter-firkin un-, der the parlor window, in those days added,as a comparatively enviable curiosity a plant of the -love;apPle.'-' , l , The : love-applo viraslnd is. the rOl/17/14 WamOur of the j.?renchman. Un less the schoolmaster should gd violently au& .irresistibly :abroad, 'the ladies who do bus.: I mess in ?ur markets will ever style the ponm ie • - How the fact of the edibility of tomatoes V 43 first ascertained is something that our re porter doesn't kifow.. The first time they were ever serVede: at any hotel, within our' ken, was at the Astor House, its New York. ,The name of the viand was printed upon the bills of fare, ".Tomatoes Broiled." At. that Vine the' Astor House was what. the Fifth Avenue Hotel is now, and the Park Theatre was, just across the way, the temple to whioli, Thespis then - drew the votaries.' that now. adore her only in Academies of Music, and in Amateurs' Drawing Rooms. When Dorothy's ornamental tomato plants haffexpentled their vigor, and_when the bloody fruit lay sprawling in the late September 81111, they were thrown over the garden palings into the high road. 'Hungry pigs took a fancy .to them; and chickens - destitute of corn made unwilling meals upon their flesh and seed. Another year, and the same pigs and chickens Sought with avidity as food the porn:nes that they had previously rejected. In other words the value of the tomato , was learned by quadru peds, and by bipeds dres.sed in feathers, ante rior to the corresponding discovery by biped.s dressed in cassimere or silk. At this moment hundreds of acres of ground that, oxicelried to compete with the prairie lands of the West in raising _corn, are now annually covered with' the growth of the tomato plant. The differ ence in theprotit is literally prodigious. In the vicinity of Salem, N. J., and of Brooklyn, N. Y., are now well-established tomato farms; upon which nothing else is raised.' The tilth of the , soil in which they grow must' be deli cate ; yet beyond the necessity of giving sup port to the plants, the care required for their development.ia singularly small. The essay of Mr. Harrison, at Horticultural Hall, this eve ning, cannot prove otherwise than interesting. Mr. U. S. Appraiser Lorin Blodgett raises tomatoes as le does grapes—he so trains them to a trellis that the fruit matures in clusters, and a 'rod of ground grows a sufficient quantity to render the possessor Independent .of .the markets for his table supply.
