THE INCREASED ASSESSMENTS.
A Total of $40, OOO, 900 Of Taxable
Property in the District.

The assessor, with all the force In his Office,
assisted by all the spare force In the District
building, is now engaged in footing mp the
numerical sheets for the city Of Washington,
showing the taxable property in the city ar
ranged according to squares and lots, with the
rate of tax and the number Of feet and the
value of improvements on each lot
The Commissioners cannot estimate their
revenues upon which to base their estimates
for appropriations until these books are footed.
which the assessor expects to have completed
today. The general assessment sheets for the
county and Georgetown are already footed up
and show totals Of S12, 600 900 and a.. 400 OO0
respectively-an increase Of per cent in
Georgetown and 70 per cent in the county.
line total taxable valuation of real property
will be about one hundred and forty million Of
dollars To the revenue from this must be
added the revenues receivable from licenses,
arrears OF taxes, personal tax and miscellaneous
sources, estimated by the assessor to be about
SIX hundred thousand dollars The taxable
personal property is estimated at nine million
OF dollars, but only about one hundred and
twenty-five thousand dollars il expected to be
received. In addition to the revenue drawn
from these sources there il q surplus Of about
three hundred thousand dollars derived from
the excess OF revenues over expenditures.
There has been great deal Of complaint
VIC oAiohLHouS iucrodse IN the aeSeeSment
OF the county on the ground that the county
mas never received appropriations commensu-
rate with the amount of its contributions to
the District revenues, and approximations are
felt that Congress will not make appropria-
lions for improvements in the county in pro-
portion to this increase of the tax levy upon
the property there.
"A Poor Man, But He Owns Four Dogs.
1.-THE dogs in Ivy City will almost take you
on your horse" said Policeman Markwood in
the Police Court today, when he charged
colored resident of that city with being the
owner of four untagged CANNES. Jerry Myers,
the colored man charged, claimed that he was
a hard-working man and was unable to pay O
heavy fine. Judge Miller told him that the
people who have to work hard don't usually
have three or four dogs. He was given time to
procure tags.

that 90 per cent of the electors would

Two Companies to Go From Fort
Laramie to Fort Logan.

Fort LARANuEs Wyo., April 10
Orders by wire reached this post on the
18th, that companies f and d will be
transferred 10 Fit. Logan, near Denver,
May L. This move in addition to the
two companies, will change to Fl. Logan,
Capt. Williams, Lieuts. Friedrich and
Howell and probably recall Capt. Comba
now on recruiting service at New York.
While the signal service operator was
making repairs on the government tele.
graph line at Bordeaux on the afternoon
of the 18th inst, he was severely in
iured by q charge of electricity that
came over the wire at that time. The
electric shock stunned and staggered him,
but on recovery from the momentary eff
fects he completed his work. Had the
two ends of the broken wire not been in
contact, the shock would certainly have
been fatal. 1t is customary to connect
copper insulated wires with earth and the
main line wire on each side of place need
ing repairs, thus carrying to ground any
charge of electricity that may come
along the line, but as there was no sign OF
a thunder storm this precaution was
omitted.
The operator is at his key this morning
and reports that he suffers from nervous
prostration but thinks he will pull through
all right.
