on the stock OF the company and about 100000
borrowed on the two and three year notes OF the
company, and from the bonuses received from
the sale of stalls. The buildings are of first
class construction, and worth more than their
cost.
The resulted the market-house enterprise thus
far is successful. The rental paid for the or round
is too high, ami should be further reduced, and
it will require care and good management in
determining the proper occupancy for the front
building on Pennsylvania and Louisiana av-
enues, the construction of which will 60 forward
during the present year. But with good man
agement the stock in the company will prove a
permanent, profitable investment.

committee that the committees named in the
report be appointed by the chairman, and that

BRET HARTE LEcrUREs-Coming before the
public in this new capacity, Mr.. Harte displays
his unique powers to even better advantage than
by his writings, and he has won the applause OF
the keenly critical, as well as Of the general pub
lie, on his first appearance. His lecture, "The
Argonauts of 49," cannot be compared to any
duced, simply because no one but Bret Harte
could produce IL. Like the " Heather Chinee -
his pathetic, though no less peculiar story, "The
Luck Of Roaring Camp" or that side-splitting
production, "Condensed Novels"-there Is moth,
ing Ike il. No doubt the announcement that
the author Of the "Heathen Chinee' will lee
ture In Washington, will call out q crowded
house, and as there il no extra charge for re-
served seats, they should be secured at once.
SLASH EUN ON THE RAMPAGE.-Considerabl
excitement was caused yesterday IN the neigh
borhood Of L. and 18th streets northwest, by the
water Of SlaAh run, which reached some seven
or eight feetand flooded some Of the tenement
houses. 1t appears that by some oversight Of
the contractors no outlet wos made across 18th
street, watch ct this point has been graded
some fifteen feet higher than the bed Of the
sfream, and the ombankment formed q dam
which prevenfed the escape Of the water. Word
was sent TO Vice President A. Is. Shepherd, Of
the board Of public vxarkr, when h visited the
premises and soon ha1 q crowd u lAboreRs at
work, under Mr.. Albert Gleason, and . chasnel
was opened across the sHaet, thereby relieving
the pressure Of the water. No great damage
was done.
