THE DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS TO CONGRESS,
The District Commissioners to-day sent a
communication to Speaker Randall, for the
purpose Of laying before Congress, setting
forth their inability to conduct the water de-
partment upon the present basis of water rent
and water main taxes. These rents remain the
same as established at the time the Potomac
water was introduced, and depends not upon
the height and width OF the houses to which
the water is supplied. The present water
main tax, which was authorized by the act OF
the legislative assembly Of the District, OF June
square foot OF lots AUDITING the streets In
which water mains are laid, payable In four an
nral Instruments, bearing per cent. interest,
NO provision was made for the payment Of tho
cost OF mains at the time they were laid, a ID
the only means at the control Of the District g
pay it pending the collection OF said tax, ha g
were intended to meet the ordinary repairs and
other current expenses OF the department, and
the interest and sinking fund On certain water
bonds. The collections from water main
taxes nave been insufficient to refund the
amounts so advanced from water rents, there
Being now an outstanding balance of s113, $50. OF
ncQlected water main taxes, which
represent advances made from receipts
OF the water bonds amounts to s29 600
for the year 1879, and sinking fund to
Sl5, 200, making In all 81, 900 for both purposes
n nne amount oeriyed nom rents Is about
interest and sinking fund ga 6O0 leaves 81 900
plus the small amounts Of collections for water
taps and fees, to pay for the repairs and
other current expenses OF the water DEPART
ment and the immediate cost OF water mains.
The amount is insufficient to meet all these
purposes. Most Of the employees of the water
department have been placed on furlough for
want of funds to pay their salaries and there is
not money to refund the general fund the
amount paid from 1t on account Of the
sinking fund for the current year. The
people In certain OF the higher portions of
me city are suffering from scarcity OF water.
owing TO the exceptionally large CONSUMPTION
OF wafer per capita In the District, no effectual
remedy can be devised by which any great
measure OF relief can be given In such cases
unless Dy the extension and completion OF the
aqueduct. N-0
A bill which is also enclosed, contemplates an
expelditu OF $4,000 to remedy some defects
IN the present distribution OF water by Which
ana the Commissioners pray Congress to have
said bill enacted into law.

cross examination Of DR.. Crosby the entire ses-
sion. He ascertained that the doctor was In the
habit OF destroying unpleasant letters, but was
not In the habit Of telling men when they exas-
perate him. The witness acknowledged writing
certain letters to Mr.. Hathaway and Mr.. Rem

high opinion OF Mr.. King, but his vacillation
was caused by representations made by other
parties. The doctor reasserted that he had a
perfect right to put his valedictOry in the Chris
tan at Work, but that he knew nothing Of the
prospectus Of the Advance inserted in the same
paper with his valedictory. He had been told
tnat the paper was sold, and had overheard a
conversation that proved the correctness OF the
report, and acting upon it he inserted his ''good

A DISTRICT RAILROAD DAMAGE CASE IN THE
Y. =. SUPREME COURT.-In this Court, yester-
Qay. argument was heard In the case of the
baltimore and Ohio Railroad company VS..
Iark1n A. BelE-errOr to the Supreme Court OF
the District OF Columbia. This was an action
Dy Beh to recover for injuries to his wife, sus-
ta1ned at the crossing Of Fl and 1st streets
northeast, In July, 1878, In consequence Of q
panic In street Car, caused by imminent dan
ger OF collision with train of the company.
HIS. BeH. with an infant In her arms spraIg
out OF the street car and was Knocked down by
tne engine, her child being killed The wife
was joined In the action, but died before the
trial OF the cause. The trial resulted In 1udg-
ment for $1,000, which was subsequently re-
ouced TO q, 900; but still the company was not
satisfied, and brought the case here, claiming
that negligence on the part of the driver of the
street car caused the accident, and that this
being 80, there should have been no recovery.
On the other hand, it is contended that the
plaintln In such case could hold either or both
companies responsible for the damages s,1s-
tanned, and that therefore the recovery was
JUST ana legal. James A. Buchanan for plafn-
