"SLEIGHING IS GOOD." So Reported Constable Henry Bur scholl of the Fifteenth Ward. "Slehjhlnir is good," was the exciting report presented to court yesterday by Constable Henry Burschell, )C the Fifteenth ward. It was the quarter ly return day of the constables and Mr. Burschell was anxlouB to report something. No llnuor Is eold In the Fifteenth ward, unlawfully or without a license, neither are children born out of wed lock, so Mr. Burschell could not re port on these specifications of the re turn sheets. There Is a line requiring a report on the condition of streets and bridges and this was Henry's op portunity. "Slelgrhlng Is good" represents a con dition of streets, and the worthy con stable decided to report that fact to the court to the end that It might know officially that In the distribution of his New Year's favor the weather man wne as kind to the Fifteenth ward as to other parts of the city. Constable Matthew Bean, of Old Forge, reported that Mary Snyder Is engaged In tho Illegal sale of liquor there, and the matter was referred to the district attorney for consideration. All of the other constables reported a scrupulous observance of the law and a dead level of respectability in their bailiwicks. DELIGHTFUL ENTERTAINMENT Given at the Home for tho Friendless Monday.

HIGH DEATH RATE. But the Number of New Diphtheria Cases Decreases. Last week showed a very high death rate. The lxard of health received re ports of 49 deaths from all causes, which Is about ten or twelve above the normal rate. Of the 49 deaths there were two each from diphtheria and membraneous croup. Only B new cases of diphtheria were reported. This is the smallest weekly number In nearly three months. The cold weather Is attributed as1 the cause for lessening tho prevalence of the dis ease. It is held by some of the older physlclnns that their younger breth ren are beginning to recognize the folly of proclaiming severe case9 of throat trouble to be diphtheria, that they have been calling everything diphtheria In order to get credit for cures. BLAZE IN Y. W. O. A. ROOMS. A Match and Pino Decorations Were tho Cause. A blaze In the parlor of the Young Women's Christian association rooms on Washington avenue caused some olarm for a few minutes late yesterday afternoon. Around one of the chandeliers ever greens were entwined and when one of the attendants endeavored to light the gas about 5 o'clock the pine was set on fire and made an ugly blaze for a minute or two. Patrolman Jooeph Block was ut Washington avenue and Spruce street at tho time and assisted In the work of smothering the Are, which was con fined to the evergreens. Aside from ruining a rug and filling the rooms with amoke no damage was done. To tho Republican Voters of the Seventeenth Ward.

Donahue, O'BOYLE PROPOSES TO BETO SEVERE SIDEWALKS MUST BE CLEARED OF SNOW AND ICE. Ho Is Tired of Being Courteous to Mon Who Don't Appreciate the Amount of Leeway Given Thorn. If Thoy Don't Cloan Tholr Side walks and Keep Them Cloan Ho Will Havo Warrnnts Issued for Their Arrest Tirao for Action Has Arrived, "I'm tired of notifying people to clean their sidewalks," suld Street Commis sioner O'Boyle yesterday. "And that comment applies to business men In particular," he continued, "They ought to know the law a? well as I do, and, If they don't know the law, I don't see why personal pride or common-senss don't prompt them to try and make walking possible." Mr. O'Boylo's manner Indicated that he was somewhat angry and not with out reason. Tho last snow fell on Sun day, yet many of the sidewalks la tho business district wero permitted to re main uncleancd during tho two suc ceeding days, and yesterduy It was necessary to send the police patrolmen from door to door notifying alert busi ness men and others to remove tho loo and snow from In front of their prop erties. "We ought to have a town-crler," said Mr, O'Boyle as u final comment, whloh revealed his disturbed stuto of mind. During his conversation with a Tribune reporter, tho street commis sioner suld he found himself forced to have recourse to the law, tho same as were his piedecesHort In ofllcn, and that ho would today have warrants Issued for all occupants of properties whoso uncleancd sidewalks were reported by tho police at 10 o'clock this morning'. Tribune readers may profit by the further Information that the ordinance in relation to sidewalk cleaning pro vides that gutters ulso rfiall bo kept clear of snow and Ice. This Is required In order that water and such may bo permitted to flow into the sewers after a thaw. PERMITTED TO WITHDRAW. Attorneys Had Not Heard from Mc Androw in a Long Time.

Evans, Frederick Webber, Ernest Webber, Thomas Hill and Will lam Hill, workmen employed by Green In removing the timber. Green claims ownership to 394 acres of land sold In 1831 at a tax sale as unseated land. It is alleged that the sale as to a portion of the land at least was Illegal for the reason that the tax was paid. The trouble, It Is claimed, was caused by assessing the land to two different persons. Tho thirty-throe acres claimed by the Steins adjoins their farm and they have been In possession of it since 1801, they allege.

From the Inquiries made. Colonel Wntres and his adjutant, D. B. Atlier ton, are quite satisfied that the com mand Is practically a unit In Its de3lre to tuko part. Colonel Watres Is most thoroughly In favor of it; not for per sonal reasons, as he is a very busy man, but he desires It for the good of the guard generally and his regiment In particular. "Practice makes per fect," he says, nnd on that account be lieves that action, though peaceful, will work toward the better utility of the new organization of citizen roldlciy. FAULTY FIRE ALARM.

He Is the Janitor in tho Board of Trado Building and Was Engaged in Repairing an Elovator Door When tho Carriage Descended and Hit Him on tho Head He Sustained a Sevoro Gash in the Head But Was Knocked Out of Harm's Way. Fred Van Buren, Janitor of the board of trade building, had a narrow, escupe from a horrible death yesterday. He wus leaning through one of the eleva tor shaft doorways on the fourth llnor nnd was hit on the head and knocked senseless by one of the carriages. It was only by good luck that he missed falling into the shaft. Both of the carriages were In use at the time and this fact wart not known to Mr. Van Buren, who was engaged In repairing the screen on tho door opening Into the shaft nearest the street. The carrlugo which hit him was loaded with six passengers and noiselessly descended nt full speed from above him. He was leaning Into 'the shaft, but was not far out, and his feet were quite a distance Into the corridor, the better to lower his body Into a proper position for doing his work. To his peculiar nttltude and the smooth mosaic floor of the corridor Van Buren probably owes his life, for when the bottom of tho carriage hit hla head It knocked his feet from un der him and hurled him ugulnst tho corridor wall. There he lay, limp and apparently lifeless. Tho carriage was stopped and Van Buren was carried Into the office of Dr. Beed Burns, where his Injuries were dressed. In some unaccountable way he escaped without uny serious hurt. The top of his bend was pain fully bruised, but was not cut. There was a gash In his face benenth the left eye, where he had struck against the latch of the shaft door. Van Buren later appeared about the building, but was finally obliged to go to his home, 308 Kressler court. Those acquainted with tho details of the ac cident were unable to understand how he missed plunging headlong four stor ies to tho foot of the shaft, or es caped being crushed beneath the floor of the carriage and the door sill.
