is most gratifying indeed. 1t will bc
seen that by deducting the surplus on

debt Al the beginning Of the last quar-
ter was So. nj2 IL. In round nam
brrs it has been reduced $4,000 dur.

raie 1t has been cuttailed the
past season the likely
thing il that We will not owe a single
dime at the expiration of the present
year. The excellent management OF

GOVERNMENT OF THE DISTRICT.
Organization Of the Joint Commission to Frame
a Form Of Government.


The commission appointed by the two Houses
Of Congress to frame form Of government
for the District of Columbia met at the Ar
lngton hotel yesterday at p. N. There were
present Senators Spencer and Whyte, aud
Messrs. Hunton, Clymer and Heudee, of the
House, Senator Window not having arrived.
The commission organized by the selection
of Mr.. Spencer, who is chairman of the Senate
Committee on the District Of Columbia, as
chairman of the commission, and Mr.. Thomas
c. Cox was appointed secretary.
Messrs Hunton and Hendee were appointed
a subcommittee to obtain facts and statistics
in relation to the subject-matter referred to the
commission.
The committee, after an hours session, ad-
jourped to meet on the 10th Of November at
the room of the House Committee on the Dis
trict Of Columbia.
The selection of Mr.. Cox as secretary IS
an admirable one. He has had long expert
erce in the State Department, where he was
highly appreciated by the late Secretary
Seward, who appointed him to take charge of
the Embassy from Tuuis, and from whom he
received an elegant diamond studded watch, as
an acknowledgment of his courtesy and kind
ness. He was also appointed secretary to the
British and American Mixed Commission,
which was second only to the "High Joints"
in importance, and won high commendation.
Mr.. Cox brings to this commission thorough
knowledge of the laws, especially as applica-
ble to the District, of which he is a native, and
an extended acquaintance with the people OF
the District, their views, wishes and interests.
A more suitable selection could hardly have
been made.

A Flat-Iron Borrower.

A colored woman, named Louisa Hackctt,
was arrested last night for operating a new
sort Of confidence game which possesses the
claim of novelty and ingenuity. She was EN-.
ployed some time ago in the family of Mr..
George Naylor and left one day, taking with
her quantity of clothing belonging to the
family. A few days afterwards she walked
into aheig hbor's house and borrowed four
fat-irons in Mrs. MAYORS name. She ap-
peGred soon after at another house and bor-
rowed three fat irons in the name of a neigh
hor, and as she was closely watched, when she
went away boldly walked into the house OF
the lady whose name she had used, and
thereby hushed suspicion. Another house
keeper was victimized in the same way, and
when they learned that they had been robbed
complaint was made to Lieutenant Eckloff
which resulted in her arrest last night.

A Car Iumpor Run Over.

About 1880 O'Clock, yesterday morning,
VIM. Decker, little boy about seven years
of age, son of John Decker, who resides at
1888 Sixth street southwest, jumped On a
street car on Four and a-haif street, between
NJ and N streets. The driver seeing him drove
him of, and as he jumped from the Car he
was run over by huckster wagon driven by
two colored men, and severely injured about
mis- side and arm. E. F. Noble, driver OF the
car, gave a description of the parties who
drove the wagon, and efforts are being made
to secure them that the case may be fully in
vestigated. Repeated accidents OF this kind
and the many warnings of the press seem to
have no effect upon parents or clildren in
keeping the latter from the dangerous prac-
