Daily Review.
OFFICE OF THE GAZETTE,
FORT WORTH. Tex. Jan. IL. 1889
For the past week there has been a
growing Improvement in the trade on this
market, until now dealers say that it is
almost as good as in the latter part of the
fall. The demand on jobbers is taking on
strength, though a great deal of the bust
ness is on through goods from the manu-
facturers to the country distributors, the
merchants being bent on taking advan-
tage Of the low rates before the new tariff
goes into effect ON the goth.
The weather has been fine to-day and
the streets well filled with people.
1t is reported in London that large
amount of forged silver coins estimated
at about $500 900 out of total currency
of Sl08, 900 600 is now in the hands of the
London public.
Dun s Co. in a report on the CONNER
cial failures which have been numerous
over the country of recent, says
rem rkably large proportion of
the failures reported is con-
Germs doing small business. The
number for the last quarter of 1888 was
about the largest on record and there are
other indications that the existing state
Of things operates powerfully to crowd
out the smaller and weaker traders. 1t
may be noticed, too, that throughout the
Western and Southern states, Texas ex-
cluded, the failures were both more
numerous aud larger in aggregate of
liabilities than in the year preceding,
while in the Eastern, Middle and Pacific
states an important decrease in amount
of liabilities appears, and also in Texas -
There is a great deal of difference be-
tween the banking rules of this country
and England, and some particulars we
might copy after that country. In En-
gland, for instance, person finding
check payable TO order can indorse it in
the name of the person to whom it is
payable, and without Identification re-
ceive payment. The bank has really no
responsibility. There is, of course,
penalty for forgery, but that is all. Our
rule in this branch of the business
is much the best. One of the
most curious features of the En-
glish rules Is the method of the
Bank of England in issuing nothing
of new notes at one window, go to
another window to transact some bust
ness which win require one of your bills,
and hand it in, but it never comes out
again. The teller puts 1t on a hook file,
where it remains until the close of bust
ness, when it is taken off and put with
others to be destroyed. The bank never
issues the same note twice. In receiving
a light coin, the English cut it in half and
issue new one. This Is one instance i'll
which we should follow them

DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.
THE OWNERSHIP OF

THE OWNERSHIP OF Fox's DISCOVERY.
1t is probable that the ownership of Fox's
Discovery will soon be settled. 1t will be re-
membered that recently Capt. Symons recon-
mended that the necessary legal steps be taken
to establish the title to the ground and
that the building inspector be directed not to
issue permits to build on the land in question.
The matter was referred to the attorney for the
District, who reports that the proposed pro-
ceedings OF ejectment would be brought in the
name Of the United States. Mr. Taggart, the
assistant United States attorney, has promised
TO AID In the matter as soon as possible.
AS TO CHANGING THE NAMES OF STREETS.
Inc commissioners in passing upon the re-
quest OF Margaret Toner ct al. for the chang
Ing OF the name Boundary street between Massa-
say that they doubt their authority to change
the name Of Boundary street without the action
OF Congress. The question of confusion in the
numbering Of the street has been referred to
the inspector OF buildings for report as to
whether the numbering on the street cannot be
made more satisfactory.
CLAIMS DAMAGES FROM THE DISTRICT.
Some days ago Mayor w. f. Tucker wrote to
the Commissioners claiming damages for the
drowning of his horse, which was fright
ened by dogs and ran away and
owing to the bad condition of the roads was
drowned. Capt. Symons was called upon for
report and he says it is manifestly out OF the
question for the District to be responsible for
damages for runaway horses. The matter has
been referred to Attorney Riddle.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The Commissioners are in receipt of petit
ton signed by the property holders of 10th
street southeast praying that in considering
the schedule recently submitted by the East
Washington citizens association that the grad
ing, sewering, and paving Of 10th street be
continued from Pennsylvania avenue SOUTH
east to street.

ROWING IN THE RAIN.
The Annual Regatta of the Columbia
Athletic Club-interesting Races.

Those who braved the rain storm yesterday
afternoon to see the annual regatta of the Co.
lumbia athletic club were few In number, but
enthusiastic. The races could not have been
postponed on account of the desire of the men,
bers of the crews to leave town. The crews
were subjected to some changes in boats and
positions.
THE JUNIOR CREWS.
At about the starting time the junior crews
in Fights drew up in line and awaited the sig
nal to start. The course was from point OPP
posite the boat house, around the piers of the
new bridge, thence back to the starting point.
The winning crew which was composed of F.
ID. Lewis, senior. stroke; E. johnson. Z: G.
Ballantyne, 6; W. II. Lewis, 5; John Irwin, 4;
r. ID. Simnls, g.; +. Staylor, 2; w. Teel, bow;
Andy Smith, coxswain, were fortunate enough
to possess a new boat which. in the opinion of
some persons, was of great advantage to them.
The start was a good one, and it
but here the turn made by the new boat was
exceptionally good and by it the race was won,
for from the bridge down to the finish the new
foat had the best of 1t. The unfortunates
were: Shoemaker, s; Stoutenburg, z; Chap.
Simms 6; Stewart, 5; o. Connell, 4: r. Beall.
8; George Brock. 2. Moulton, bow; Capt. Glib
son, coxswain, and were beaten about length
and half
CLOSE RACE BETWEEN THE SENIOR AND JUNIOR
FIGHTS.
The event in which the greater portion of
the interest was conferred was the race between
the senior eight and the junior eight. By the
original program an intermediate race should
have been rowed between the gigs but owing
to the failure of one of the gigs to appear the
race was given to the crew comprising Harlan.
4; Woodward, g.; Zeigler, 2; Elder, 1; Andy
Smith, coxswain, who rowed over the course
But little time was consumed by the Fights in
getting in position and being sent off with the
seniors slightly in the lead. Before many
strokes had been taken the two crews were on
abouteven terms and both struggling for all they
were worth. There was scarcely any percept-
ible advantage in the lead by either crew at
the bridge in going or returning, and from the
bridge down again the race was pretty even
one with the seniors slightly in the lead. They
won by half a length or less. The crews were
as follows:
Seniors-Lee Harlan. stroke; j. NJ. Kenyon,
Z; Joseph Kondroup, 6: Sloan, 5; Keer, A. II.

VIOLATIONS OF THE LIQUOR LAW
What q Liquor Dealer Has to Say on
the Subject.

To the Editor Of THE EVENING STAR:
am a law-abiding citizen of the District of
Columbia and engaged in legitimate business.
The frequent VOCATION of the liquor law has
set me to thinking as to whether or not there
is any way of effectually putting stop to such
violations. 1t is a question that has interested
me much since engaging in the liquor business
in this city and it should interest all citizens of
the District who desire that law and order
should prevail and the Sabbath day kept holy
and regarded as day of rest. In passing
along our public thoroughfares on a Sabbath
day it does not require very keen eye for one
to observe that there are many engaged in the
business who have very little respect for the
law. Those licensed to carry on the business
know full well that they are prohibited from
keeping their places open or selling on Sunday,
yet it is well known that there are many who
repeatedly violate the law. Such fragrant vio-
lations of the law governing the liquor traffic
have tendency to cause people to look
with suspicion upon those who respect and
obey the Jaw. 1t naturally brings them all in
bad repute.
The business is legitimate one and should
be conducted with due respect for the law,
which is not so complicated but what all can
interpret and understand it. have been en-
gaged'' the liquor business both here and
elsewhere for a long time and have always en-
deavored to obey the law.
Many, for the love of the almighty dollar,
violate with IMMUNITY and if convicted they
escape with light fine, only to Immediately
resume business and continue the offense, being,
however, a little more cautious. 1t is not diff
cult for one who is known to gain access to
such places on Sunday, for it is impossible for
an officer to have his eye upon every saloon
whilst "going his rounds"
NOT SEVERE ENOUGH.
desire to say that, in my opinion, the law
is not severe enough. Upon conviction for
such a violation q fine of not less than 5000 nor
more than $500 should be imposed for the first
offense and for the second offense fine of not
less than $500 and the license of the offender
revoked. and the party so convicted should be
prohibited from again engaging in the business
for at least one year.
This, believe, would put stop to the illegal
traffic and the business would be considered
more honorable and respectable by the better
class OF people.
Let all who respect law and good order unite
in their efforts to suppress SUNDAY selling"
by bringing the offenders to justice, and let
the courts impose the severest penalty for each
and every offense and thus compel them to re-
spect and obey the law
Let all who are engaged in the business and
respect law join with all good citizens and aid
the officers in their efforts to bring the guilty
one to justice.
If the law is not stringent enough let efforts
be made to have such others enacted as Will
respect and force obedience.

NEEDS OF GEORGETOWN.


Street Improvements in Georgetown was the
subject Of discussion at the meeting last even
ing of the citizens association here. Il was
decided to ask the District Commissioners to
include In their estimates for the next fiscal
year appropriations to pave Prospect avenue
between s5th and seth streets, improve s6th
street from Prospect avenue 10 P street, to ex-
tend NJ street through the college grounds, to
build . bridge over Rock creek at street,
to extend Olive avenue from S0th to SD street,
then to run into Prospect avenue, and that any
and all property which the proposed extension
will pass through be condemned and bought BY
the District. A committee consisting of Messrs.
g. w. King, William II. Mauogue, r. B. Ten
ney, 8. 7. Brown, John T. Mitchell, Doctor
Richie and President A. Greeplees was ap-
pointed to call upon the Commissioners and
urge the importance Of making these improve
mente.
A resolution was adopted favoring the con-
version Of the old Presbyterian grave yard into
public park. It was also resolved to ask that
an appropriation be made for the improvement
of the police station.
Reference was made to the proposed branch
Of the Gettysburg and Harrisburg railroad to
run by Laytonsville, Seneca and Great Falls to
Georgetown. 1t is proposed to appoint COM
mittee to confer with a committee from Lay
louisville in regard to the route of the proposed
road. The association then adjourned.

FROM ATLANTIC CITY.
What Washingtonian Says About the
Great Storm There.

Mrs. G. 8. Cromwell of Q street, who has had
a cottage at Atlantic City during the summer,
and her daughter, Mrs. Lewis, reached WASH
ington last night after perilous all-day trip
yesterday. The train upon which they left At
lantic City ran many miles over water-covered
tracks, the coaches frequently careening from
one side to the other, occasioned by washouts
OF the road bed. The waves OF the ocean
driven by fierce winds were to be seen far up
into the meadows and sweeping over the tracks
of the railroads.
GRAND BUT TERRIFIC SIGHT.
Mrs. Cromwell, as did large number Of
others, had to vacate her cottage and take
refuge in the large hotels and houses, and even
they would strain and totter under the fierce
ness Of the gale. Standing upon the verandas
and in the windows of the Sunset house, where
Mrs. Cromwell and other Washingtonians were,
the guests were in full view Of the beach and
could see the hovoc the winds and waters were
spreading along the board walk and about the
paviliens and boat houses. The board walk,
so well known and patronized by Washingto-
mans, was literally picked up and dashed into
splinters upon the ground in the city and
structed pavilions one by one would be lifted
up, parted asunder and engulfed in raging
foamy waves The last to succumb was the
newly-built iron pier and pavilion, which
to the force of the storm. Those who had the
nerve to stand and look upon the scene picture
1t as grand and terrible beyond description.
A CITY OF RUINS.
The queen of summer resorts week ago is
today almost wilderness of ruins. The entire
shore from the inlet to the once beautiful
beach of Chelsea is a scene of devastation.
There is scarcely vestige of a house left on
Baltic avenue. Many cottages are in totter-
ing condition. Numbers of the streets are
filled with water, others with slime. Parties in
reaching the depot yesterday had to pick their
ways along through water and debris and then
risk dangerous ride along an inundated and
dangerous track. Provisions were getting
short and the reopening of communication
yesterday was just in time to save trouble and
suffering. Many of the people were frantic
from fright and doubtless much bodily and
mental arrangement will result from the terri
BILE experience of the storm.

THE TRIENNIAL CONCLAVE.
The Work of PreparatiOn-Visitin
Knights TempIar, Etc.

The Knights Templar headquarters in the
Atlantic building is the center of a good deal
of business just now. AS the time of the
meeting of the great conclave draws near the
work of preparation increases. Secretary
Dingman, who is the presiding genius at head
quarters, is well equipped for the numerous
demands made upon his time and patience
He is ready to answer all questions and gives
the desired information with the exactness of
an encyclopedia. The visiting delegations
from communicates throughout the country
still make their appearance almost daily at
headquarters. Their arrangements for accom-
modations in this city have already been made
by letter through the local committees, but
there are numerous details which can be best
determined by personal visits 1t is seldom
that the visitors find it necessary to remain
here longer than few hours. The work of the
local committees has been done so thoroughly
VISITORS TO HEADQUARTERS
Today Lewis II. Raymond, the commander
of Manhattan commandery, No. 81, of New
York city, made call on Secretary Dingman
commandery, No. So. and Henry Vogt, the
generalissimo of st. Elmo commandery, No.
81, of Brooklyn, were also in the city and visited
headquarters.
Chairman Parker, who has been suffering
with bad cold, went to Philadelphia few
days ago and returned last evening. He is
better than he was and expects to be able to
dispose of the business which has accumulated
during his absence.
