3 C0MLA1XTS TO THE HEALTH BOARD Nearly Two Hundred Chnt ot LnheaUhful Condh loir Made In Thro Ye Inspectors Still at Work. A partial Investigation yesterday by reporters for Th New-York Times aa to the number of deaths that have occurreJ during the laat three years In the tenement houses owntl by the Trinity Church Corporation troufht to light aome facts which wttl of treat Interest to the Tenement House Cora-mlsicn, anil also to the church wardens and Vestrymen of the corporation. The Investigation was not pushed very "far Into the long list of tenements belonging to Trinity, but the results so far obtained wart ant classing at least some of the tenements of Trinity on the blacklist of the Hoard of Health as being among the worst In the city. In the bouse at S3 Charlton Street there have been eight deaths In three years. Five those who died there were little cMldren.

under five years of age. Two of the children were three years old, two were two years old, and one was one year old. None of the children had a contagious disease. This house was complained of to the Board of Health In 1802, and an order was Issued directing the owners of the premises to comply with the sanitary ordinances. There have been five deaths in the last two years In the house at 20 Clarke 8treet One of those who died there was a child two years old.

Death was not due to a contagious disease. The condition of the bouse was complained of to the Board of Health in 1803. and again this year. In both -cases orders were Issued by the Board of Health- directing the owners of the premises to comply with the sanitary laws and regulations. There bave been three deaths in the last three years In the bouse at 28 Clarke Street.

Two of those who died there were little children. Both had bronchitis. The house was the subject of complaint to the Board Health in both 1802 and ISM. and each time the complaint was found, as in the other cases mentioned, to be well-founded, and orde.s were Issued directing the owners of the premises to comply with the sanitary laws and regulations. There have been three deaths in the last three years iu thj house at B39 Broome of which one was a child one year old.

No sanitary orders have been issued against this house by the Board of Health within the past three years. There have been three deaths In three years In the house at 449 Canal Street, against which premises no sanitary orders have been Issued by the Board of Health In three years. There have been three deaths In three years In the house at 480 Canal Street, but there have been no sanitary orders against the house. Four persons have died in the last three years In the house at 84 Charlton Street. This tenement has been twice the subject of complaint to the Board of Health, once In 12 end once In In the house at 107 Charlton Street there have been three deaths In three years, of which two were little children.

One was "two years old, the other one year old. One child had scarlatina, the other dysentery. In 1 the house was complained of to the Board cf Health, and an order was Issued directing that the premises be made healthful. There hav be-n five deaths In the last three years In the house at 4 Clarkson 6treet. Four of those who died there were children under the age of one year.

Three cf the chllren died of convulsions. This house, like all the other houses mentioned. Is the property, together with the land on which It stands, the Trinity Church Corporation, was the subject of complaint to the Board of Health In 1W2 and In 18m. There was one complaint In each year, and mnltary orders were Issued, from which it Is to be concluded the complaints as to the sanitation tf these preniles were well founded. There have been flv deaths In three' years In the house at Clarkson Street, of which two were children under the age of one year.

The house was complained of to the Board of Health in 1802. and a sanitary order was lnsued. There have been during the period under Investigation three deaths In the house at 10 Clarkson Street. This house also has been the subject of complaint to the Board of Health as to Its sanitary condition, and an order was Issued against it In 1803. The Trinity Church Corporation appears to have had the very worst kind of bad luck with the occupants of its Clarkson Street houses, as there have been deaths In every one of the houses there, against whose sanitary condition complaint has been made to the Health Department.

In the house at 12 Clarkson Street, for example, there have been six deaths, a little over three years, of which one was a child one year old. This place has been twice reported to the Board of Health, nee In 1802 and again In 1803. Three persons. Including on Infant died at 14 Clarkson Street In 1803, and none of them had a contagious disease. There have been four complaints against the house to the Board of Health In the period covered by the investigation.

There were two complaints In 1802 and two In 1803. and sanitary orders were issued after the premises had been examined by sanitary inspectors under the supervision of Dr. Cyrus Edson. In 38 Clarkson Street there have been three deaths. Including that of a child less than a year old, and on child five years old.

These premises have been twice complained of to the Board of Health, one 1813 and once agiln In 18SK. The Trinity Church Corporation owns nine houses, or tenements, in Clarkson Street, of which eight have been the subject or complaint to the Board of Health as to their sanitary condition. In six of these houses there have been twenty-five deaths In the Um under Investigation. There have been deaths In all except, one of Trinity's Clarkson Street houses. There wer two deaths at 8 Clarkson Street In 1801.

In all. ther have been twenty-seven deaths In the seven houses, of which eleven were of children under tb age of five' years. It is a curious fact to not that la the only house owned by the Trinity Church Corporation In Clarkson Street against which there have been no complaints as to sanitation nan-eiy. the house at No. 17 there have been no deaths reported within the period of Investigation.

There have been two deaths In the house St 3 Uesbrosse Strevt, whioh was one reported as unsanitary to the Board of Health la 1K and twice In 1KM. Ther were three deaths at 1UW Charlton Street In 1803, of which two were little children.

It has been said In Trinity's defense that some of the houses described did not belong to church, but merely stood on ground leased by the church for a long term of years, and were erected and maintained by the lessees of the land. The aim of The New-Tork Times has been to do justice to Trinity Church by not misrepresenting or exaggerating the deplorable condition of its houses and tenements. With this purpose in view. Trinity has not been charged with the responsibility for the condition of buildings not owned by the cor poration.

P1RKBURST IX THE AXSEXK DISTRICT He Speaks Aboat Trinity's Tenements mad the teiow Committee's Work. The Rev. r. Parkhurst addressed a meet lngheld last! night by the Twenty-ninth Assembly Dlstilct Council of the City Vigilance League in the North New-York Congrega tlonal Churth. One Hundred and Forty-first Street, nearWillls Avenue.

He was the last speaker of (he evening. Tammaiy Is not dead yet," he said to the audlende. The Tiger's tall has been badly twisted, her disposition has been soured, and her teeth have been filed, but she will continue to live unless we keep at work." Gov. Flower, Dr Parkhurst said, had acted wisely 1 1 appointing a Tenement House Committee, even though the efTorts of that committee, under the guidance of Mr. Gilder, have rough unpleasant facts about Trinity's nements before the public.

He Intimated hat other church corporations, and many not connected with the church, had done 1 ul little better in providing for their tenai ts. The Investigation, he believed, wot Id result in not only Improving the Trlnit Church property, but much more. Referring to Mayor-elect Strong, Dr. Parkhurst told lis hearers that the more he got to know th man the more he became convinced tha he is going to give an administration itlrely free from politics. Of the wlork of the Lexow committee he had nothirig but praise to offer.

It pleased him, he said, to be able to say that within the past tWo years he had told the public within I21U0 the price paid by Capt. Creeden fdr ha promotion. Of the rumors that the dullce force would be reorganised by the ln oming Legislature, he that by the tli le the Legislature got to work there wou be so many of the police up the river that would be nothing to legislate i. Hejadded that it was strange that there had been no disposition on the part of th i alleged honest policemen to tell what they knew. He could understand why Capt.

Crefden and Policeman Thome, who had beenl parties to dishonorable acts. would shrink from being referred to as In formers. Hut could not understand why the honest men should not tell what they knew. He was believed rry to have to say that what he be the average of honest police men in this city ha! become much smaller. used tb think that about 90 per cent, of the patrolmen were honest, but he had looked In! vain for the testimony of even half of trjat number.

He had come to the conclusion that' there was but little good stuff In the Police Department. I pltldd Capt. Creeden on Friday last. and gave I him a good brotherly grip when he bad finished his story, for I could not but admise the heroic honesty of the man. His flghtl on Thursday, night must have been hard, but we have got to respect the courage cjf the man who confesses that he has gone! wrong.

The man was not base. and should have been promoted. It was because qf the corrupt system that he be came Dr. Pafkhurst was loudly applauded at the close of his remarks. At the blose of the meeting, Capt.

Cree with several of his men. was stand ing In fremt of the church. He said he had not heard Dr. Parkhurst's speech, and had not been inside the church at all. When Dr.

Parkhurst left the church, Capt. Cree- den tlppad his hat and said Good night." The otHer speakers were the Rev. George W. Birch, the Rev. Mr.

Wilson, and Frank 8. Grob. MR. BEIGES ESTESTAIXEO AT DI5XER A Co pM laaeat from His Fellosv-Mei era the James G. Blalae Clab.
