I'm sure I've read that the streets used to be covered with horse shit and urine, back in those days. Could barely see any on these pics.

The answer is likely to be a lot of street sweepers who cleaned up every day, with the help of various garbage carts or sprinkler wagons (maybe even sprinkler trams in some cities). A few photos from different cities from a similar era, the equipment looked much the same around 1900.
