A Gnnr of Young rhieyes nroken up.


A gang of young colored thieves, who have
infested the northwestern section of the city
for some time past, have been settled at last
by Detectives McDcvitt, Voss, Coombs aud
Acton. Their depredations have been of the
kind known as snesk.thicving, and among
their victims were Secretary Evarts, Colonel
II. G. Corbin aud Mr.. w. j. Vance, of the In
terror Department. The articles taken con-
sisted of umbrellas, clothing, hats, &C., which
were left on hat-racks in the passageways
of the houses of those gentlemen. Colonel Cor
bin was the heaviest loser, $50 in cash, gold
watch and chain and new suit of cloths being
the booty secured by the scamps. The gang
had their headquarters on Rock Greek, where
they were captured by the officers last Wednes-
day and yesterday. They were taken to
Headquarters and interviewed and. afterwards
10 Police Court, but q bearing in their cases
was continued until tomorrow. great
many articles have been recovered and are
held at Headquarters for Identification. The
names aud ages of the rascas are Dick Ross,
II; Joseph Hays, II William Lane, 10 and
Charles Thomas, 1S. 1t is to be hoped that
Judge Bundy will deal severely with them
when they are presented to him.

A SITE SELECTED ron THE FAIR

The Proposition from the owners of the
Property at Ivy City Accepted.
The National Fair Association held large
meeting at the National Hotel last evening,
w. NJ. Gait In the chair and L A. Gobright
secretary, for the purpose of considering propo'
sitions for a site.
The chair stated that the Stewart property
and the tract Of land adjoining It at Ivy City,
consisting Of 131 acres in all, would cost about
S2l 600 and as the time was short action
should be taken ut once.
On motion the advisory committee Of the
association retired for consultation, and after
q short absence returned and reported reso-
luton, which was adopted, recommending the
board of directors to secure q title to the Ivy
City and Stewart property. A discussion as to
the best means of raising funds for the pur.
chase Of the ground arose. but was settled
by the adoption of q suggestion that Il majority
Of the stockholders pay up their shares in full.
All present walked up TO the treasurer's table
and paid the amount opposite their names, a
handsome sum being realized. The solicitor
for stock subscriptions made a statement,
showing that twenty new names were secured
yesterday. The meeting was very harmon
ioIs one, and now that the site question has
been settled work will be commenced at once.
The project is meeting with encouragement
on every hand, and the success of the fair is
now assured.

THE NEW TURN IN AFE1IRS.
What Commissioner Dent Has to Say Abou
the Water-Rate Decision.

What Commissioner Dent Has to Say About
the Water-Rate Decision.
Shortly after the decision yesterday by JUS
tice Hagner, in the water-rcnt case, a repre-
sentative of THE REPUBLICAN called at the
Columbia Building and had an interview
with Commissioner Dent. He said that he
was not surprised at the result, and that the
Commissioners had been sustained upon every
point except the one of levying the tax this
year A few days ago his attention was called
to the latter fact, and he had it incorporated
in the bill, brought by Mr.. Darncille, through
Assistant District Attorney Miller, SO that
all disputed points might be acted upon. Now
it was only delay of the case until January
next, when the increased tax would again be
levied. The settling with those who had paid
their water rent would create some trouble,
but it could be done. The money, after the
rent for the last six months of the present year
was paid, would be refunded to those wishing
1t, or if they preferred it could remain TO their
credit on the books, anticipating the next
years assessment. The sum collected is SOL,
7jS15. This decision will require reduction
of the expenses in the Water Registrars office,
and compel the furloughing Of number OF
the employees. The matter will receive the
immediate consideration of the Commissioners.

Death of Captain Dwight Smith.

We regret to chronicle the death of Captain
Dwight Smith, of Alexandria County Va.
Some weeks since he was stricken with paraly-
sis, which was closely followed by typhoid
pneumonia, terminating fatally on tho 18th
inst. Captain Smith came here from New
York State with n fine war record, aud for
years held responsible position in the Treas
ury, but which he resigned in 1873 to devote
himself to his farm in Alexandria County.
He was a most valuable citizen, taking lead
ing part in every scheme of improvement of
his adopted home, and as an active and indie
fatigable loyalst and Republican, he was
1.-THE noblest Roman of them ALL" His loss
will be sorcly felt by those who have the best
interests of his community at heart.
