THE DISTRICT ESTIMATES.
Fhe Treasury Department Requires q

The District Commissioners have received
from Hon. c. s. Fairchld, Acting Secretary Of
the Treasury, letter which says: "Referring to
the estimates submitted by you to defray the
expenses OF the government OF the District OF
Columbia for the fiscal year ending June 30th,
1888, have the honor TO call your attention to

provides that the Commissioners shall annually
submit to the Secretary of the Treasury, for his
examination and approval, a statement show
ing in detail the work proposed to be under
taken by them during the fiscal year next enc
suing and the estimated cost thereof. AS no
such statement accompanied the estimates sub

for street Improvements amounting to two and
a quarter million dollars, and they were per-

The Extension Of Streets.

WHERE THE MONEY FOR THE MASSACHUSETTS
AVENUE IMPROVEMENT COM Es FROM.
81 notice liz THE STAR" said Col Ludlow to a
STAR reporter to-day, communications from
people complaining that the Commissioners
propose to take money needed for improve
ments in the city and expend it on extensions
OF streets and avenues outside the city limits.
Persons making such complaints arc entirely
ignorant of the facts OF the case. The money
TO be expended on these extensions could not
be expended in any other way, for ii was speci-
fically appropriated by Congress for this pur-
pose. Congress, for the first time. at the last
session made an appropriation of $40, 1000 for
extension OF streets and avenues in the county.
We have used that money, and propose to use
1t in a judiciOus manner, but We cannot eXpend
1t on any other Improvements than the eXten.

danger of the disease spreading SO long as eff.

the state authorities, and he added that the
lateness of the season also rendered n spread of
the disease most unlikely. The government,
he said, would take no action In the premises
unless called on by state authorities for aid. A

Correspondence ofthe Richmond Dispatch.
july q, 1886.
Until confirmed by the Senate it
seems the new appointments Of collect
ors Of internal revenue were acting
under temporary commission. Captain
Hamilton Shepherd, collector Of the
Sixth Virginia district, was recently
confirmed by the Senate, and there
fore he had to qualify anew, another in
spection Of his office repaired, and a
transfer made from himself as collector
under the temporary commission to
himself in the confirmed appointment.
This proceeding has just taken place
under the supervision Of General +. ID.
Sewell, chief Of revenue agents, in
charge Of transfers. A count Of all the
stamps in the district was made, and
foots up s350,O00. The inspector said
the schedules prepared in Captain Shep-
pard's office for transfer and exhibit
were superior to any he had ever seen,
and his familiarity in this particular
branch Of the service runs through a
term Of nearly twenty years. lie
spoke of Captain Sheppard as one of
the very best collectors in the service.
The collections from the date Cap
tain Shepherd took charge Of the office,
May l6, 1855, to July %, 1886,
amounted to 1906, 630.29. In the
bonded warehouses at the date OF the
transfer there were 2lS,7lS gallons of
taxable spirits. There are twenty
seven counties and three cities in the
district, and in addition to Stanton
there were stamp-offices at Lynchburg,
Alexandria, and Liberty. The follow
iDg.named stamp deputies were present
at the office here yesterday: Upton
d. Jennings, Lynchburg; Graham
Clayton, Liberty, and Samuel L. Mon
roe, Alexandria.
The weather remains clear and
warm.
The prospects for fine exhibition at
the district fair continue good. Mr..
John W. Todd, the president, is one Of
the delegates from Virginia to the
Farmers National Congress, which
meets st st. Paul, Mimi, on the 18th Of
August, and will attend.

several hundred persons present dressed

long to be remembered by those fortu-

There will be grand ball and ban
