THE FOUNTAINS STOPPED.
Colonel RochwelI's order = Potomac
water 20 be Uuabanded.

Much has been justly said in regard 10
she waste Of water, and the Commissioners
seem TO have been taking all the in their
power to prevent the oyerusc Of this most impor-
tant liquid. II has been alleged that the oontinu.
ous playing Of fountains in the public parks has
aided very materially in producing the scarcity Of
water In certain localities and believing this to be
the case, delegation recently waited upon Colonel
Rockwell TO see II something could not be done to
prevent the continuous waste fom this source.
Colonel Rockwell Immediately caused an investi
CATION to be made, from which IL appears that the
FOUNTAINS IN THE PUBLIC RESERVATIONS
under the control of the Office Of Public Build
ings and Grounds are twenty zone in number, and
are located as follows: Lincoln Park, q Stanton
Park, 2; Delaware avenue and First streets north
east, New jersey avenue and NJ street north
west, l Judiciary Park, Armory Park, IL New
York avenue and Tenth street, 1 ; Mount Vernon
Park, l; Pennsylvania avenue and Ninth street,
j Executive Mansion grounds, 2; Rawlins' Park,
~ pennsylvania avenue and Nineteenth street,
Pennsylvania avenue and Twenty. first street, 4;
franklin Park, | Iowa Circle, !, md nursery
grounds, l. There are also fountains In the Agri-
| cultural Department grounds Botanical Garden,
treasury Department grounds, reservation on the
south side OF Pennsylvania avenue at Seventh
street, the carp ponds Of the United States Fish
Commission, the Washington navy.yard, and the
Washington Arsenal grounds, which are not
under the control Of the Office In charge
of public buildings and grounds SO far
rs the fountains under his control are con-
cerned Colonel Rockwell, with a view to prevent
any more use Of water than is absolutely neces.
snry, has ordered that they shall play only two
hours day, namely, from six TO eight o'clock p.
m. By turning of the water from these twenty.
one fountains during the balance Of the day II is
hoped that the flow will be increased In those Sec
tions which now suffer most from n lack OF water.
IN THE CAPITOL PARK.
The above action, II is supposed will help the
matter along somewhat What the people want
east ofthe Capitol is stoppage put to the flow OF
water In the east and west Capitol parks during the
business hours Of the day All Of yesterday in
the hot broiing sun upward Of half dozen
streams OF water were playing on the grass and at
midday the lazy Capitol wnlchmen had a stream
playing upon the east Senate steps in order
to mako the place cool where they
could sit and talk midsummer politics. Architect
Clark Is aware that the proper time TO irrigute the
grass Is either early in the morning or about sun
set, and If he has any regard consideration for
the rights OF the citizens he will at least try to CO.
operate with Colonel Rockwell In preventing a
useless flow ofwater during the business hours OF
the day. It is also to be hoped that the water
fountains not under the control Of Colonel Rock
well win be turned on only during the hours sug-
gested above.

rHR NEW POSTAL arAr1on.
TIE selection OF site 20 ne Made To.
Day.

Postmaster Ainger made personalin-
spection last evening Of the proposed sites for the
branch post office on Capitol Hill. There were
two sites examined, one on the northeast corner
OF Third and streets southeast and the other
corner Of Third and East Capitol streets. The first
one is regarded rs the most favorable and Il is ex
pected that decision will be reached tod day. The
Office will be run by two clerks, six letter car
riers and two auxiliaries Mr.. Anger will en-
deavor TO secure a small regulation mail wagon
to carry the mail for the general Office, and II will
be also used to carry the mail to the branch Office in
Georgetown. Atpresent the mail TO the latter place
Is carried in buggy. Mr.. Ainger regards the
regulation wagon as insuring more accuracy and
safety in transporting the mails, and this will
make up for the extra expense. Owing 10 the fact
that there is not much money TO meet these extra
expenses no further branch Offices will be estab-
ishcd in the city for the present. Postmaster Ain
ger, however, is desirous OF establishing branch
office Mt the foot of Seventh street. one near the
Government Printing ofiice, and one somewhere
in the West End. When this has been accom-
pished he will regard the mail facilities
OF the city TO be as complete as could be desired
The establishment of the branch Office on Capitol
Hill was affected mainly through the exertions Of
the citizens In that locality. The subject was first
mentioned publicly in THE REPUBLICAN, in June
last, but before that application had been made
by the citizens. In conversation with Postmaster
Anger yesterday a reporter OF THE REPUBLICAN
said that he supposed the credit for the first

Francis Carter, the odorless excavating
man, was fined $50 or sixty day in jail yesterday
by Judge Bundy for depositing night soil at place
other than that designated by law. As the deposit
was smade on the Virginia shore, ,justbelow the Long
Bridge the defense argued that the court had no
jurisdiction, as the nuisance was committed in
Virginia and outside the District. Mr.. Padgett,
prosecutor for the District said that they were
charged with depositiug this matter at a place
other than that designated by law, and the only
places designated are Broad Creek, In Maryland,
and Four-Mile Run, In Virginia, and twas proven
that they did deposit It at place other than desg-
mated by law and were guilty OF violation of the
law. The court snid that the ofiense was partially
committed in the District and partially In vir-
ginia, and although the nuisance part Of the af-
fair was committed in Virginia, the residents Of
the District suffered from Il. The penalty as above
stated was imposed. An appeal was noted and
