The Capitol uiiI Water supply.

To The Editor Of the National Republican.
SIR: The plan Of Lieutenant Hoxio for In.
crossing tho wator supply on Capitol Hill, as
printed In your issue of yesterday is not prac-
ticablo for several reasons, aud after the OK.
pertinent by closing the stops to tho largo
mains it will DO fully demonstrated. My ex.
perionco in tho Richmond (Va.) water works
and in this city gives me some idea of tho
folly of closing stops to get a permanent sup.
ply. Lieutenant Hoxic admits in the same
plan that whom they put in the three 12.
inch mains on Seventh Eleventh and Fif.
teenth streets that IL wuuld diminish tho 7.
foot head given to the hill by closing the stops
as proposed. l doubt very much whether the
Commissioners can expend any of tho $25, 600
loan to lay mains in any section other than
on tho hill, as tho act approved Juno 10 spcci
neatly provides that tho money so advanced
shall be expended to improve the water supply
OIL canitol HILL SEQ notice in this morn
ings NATIONAL REPUBLICAN that the Com.
missioncrs have considered the plan submitted
by Lieutenant Hoxie Ia regard to Increasing
tho supply on the hill aud authorized the lay
ing of 12-inch main between the 30-inch
mains on Massachusetts, and Maine avenues
by the line of Fourth and FOur-and-a-half
streets. The main TO DO laid is not in accord
ance with Lieutenant Hoxie's plan, and the
experiment will prove useless and should not
be laid unless 1t is to effect the permanent
supply system rs suggested by Mr.. Hoxic.
Tho citizens on the hill arc opposed to any
temporary plan, aud will protest against the
proposed plan. Major Twinng, Lieutenant
HoNie and Water Register Cox should get up
an exhaustive plan for permanent supply
and submit 1t to the subcommittee Of the Sem
ate, which meets on the Goth instant to con-
slider the subject. Q. J.. F.,
Ex-Water Inspector.

A Victim of Three Monte NIcu Plays II Trick
on the Swindlers.
Yesterday morning an elderly gentleman
named John ID. Tracy, at present on u bust
ness trip to Washington, while passing through
tho Capitol grounds was accostcd by n young
man, who asked him IL lie wanted guide
about tho city, promising, among other at
fractions, to show him the new statue to Gem
eral Custer. Mr.. Tracy, thinking this good
chance to do Washington, consented TO accom-
pany his new acquaintance, aud tho pair pro-
ceeded by way of the Botanical Garden to the
Smithsonian park. Here they were joined by
two other men, apparently strangers to tn c
guido. The entire party then went to tho
Monument lot, where another man in u sail
boat was waiting for them. Across tho rivor
| they sailed, until the sacred soil Of Vir-
GINA was reached. During all the trip Mr.
Tracy kept inquirng about tho now statue.
lie was mot with repeated requests to wait u
few minutes aud they would soon reach it.
When the boat landed on the other side of the
river one of the supposed pilgrims produced
several grcasy,cards and began to throw the
familiar monte" Mr.. Tracy was finally in.
duced to bet ho could fluid tho little joker, and
az usual In such cases failed to do SO. Ho had
but S25 in cash, and this was soon transferred
10 the pockets Of his companions. He had on
VuluaDIe gOlu watch anu CnAln, WnlCn Hc was
urged to putup against the game He refused
to do so, however, when one of the men
snatched it' out of his pocket, breaking
the chain. Seeing that he had fallen
among thieves. Mr.. Tracy assumed
careless manner, aud asked the men what
amount would be required to redeem his prop
crty He was tod $3.50. He then told them
if ono of their number would accompany him
to his hotel in Washington, and bring the watch
aud chain along, he would pay the ransom.
After considerable talk his proposition was &C.
cepted, and the two men came back to this
city. Mr. Tracy decoyed his man to the city
postollice on L street, near Seventh, where he
noticed Officer Barkley. To seize tho scamp,
cry for police, &c. was the work of u few Sec
onds. the result being the arrest of the envoy.
from the monte men. Hr was taken to tho
Fifth precinct station. where he registered us
Frank Wilson, and shortly after was resting
behind the bars preparatory to q trip to tho
Police court TO day. The watch aud chain
were recovered, and will be used against the
prisoner. Mr. Tracy stated that he was wilt
ing to pay S25 for the lesson taught him, but
could not give up his watch, which he priced
very highly. The gang with which Wilson
was connected have frequently been com
planned of, but nothing certain could DO

Mr.. Curtis thought that all they had TO do
was to recommend to tho Commissioners that
they inform the Attorney-Gcneral to tell the
President that in tho opinion Of the boar the

motion was carried TO refer the subject to u

The Baltimore club visited this city yester.
day and played return game with the Ma
tionals. The visitors were loose in fielding
and weak at the bat, making much poorer
showing than was expected of them. On the
part of the Nationals the batting was quite
heavy, and many of the errors committed
were done purposey to givo the Blltmores a
chance to get in few runs and thereby pre-.
sent better appearance. The attendance was
light, and many of those present at the com.
mencement Of the game became disguised and
