DISTRICT COMMIssIoNERsHrPs.
The President Seeking Information
About the Candidates,

II is understood that the President is CON-
sidering the appointment Of two District CON-
missioners TO succeed Messrs Webb and Wheat
ley, whose terms of office expired in March
last, and in order to acquire all the informa-
ton possible in regard TO the various formal
candidates and those who have been mentioned
IN connection with the position has adopted
the plan of sending for certain prominent citi-
zens of the District and conversing with them
upon District affairs. In this WAY he has an
opportunity OF personally meeting those OF
whom. perhaps, he has only heard from Others
and OF hearing their individual views upon To-
cal affairs. In no instance has he in
timated who he intended to select. nor
has he asked generally as TO specific can
didates but has apparently sought 10 learn the
views of his callers upon the present District
administration, where il has been defective
and what changes could be made which would
better satisfy the entire community.
Mr.. jesse u. Wilson was At the White House
this morning and had quite an interview with
the President. When asked by a STAR reporter
what was the nature of their conversation Mr.
Wilson declined 10 speak. saying that he had
simply made a call upon the President with.
out any object whatever, save that of making
his acquaintance.
!'But you did talk of District affairs" sug-
gested the reporter.
incidentally they were mentioned" was the
reply.
WAS anything said about the appointment,
OF Commissioners" asked the reporter
There was no intimation in regard to their
selection or when they would be appointed u
said Mr.. Wilson. The only remark of the
President was that he wished to get good mer
for the positions"

A CONFIDENCE MAN CAUGHT.
An Old Farmers Prompt Action Re-
covers His Money.

CINCINNATI. May Con Saturday last. at
Washington c. H., Fayette county Ohio, two
confidence men induced William kaufman to
play with them trick game of cards and win
o6'OOo but before paying it
required him to produce $4,000
to show them that he was able to pay in case he
had lost. The old man went to the bank and
borrowed $4,000 in bills and returned to the
farm where. as soon as he displayed the money.
the men seized 1t and with drawn revOlvers
drove Off, leaving the old man to realize his
situation. He acted promptly and by the use
OF the telegraph descriptions of the men were
sent ont.
Marshal Duley, of Leesburg. found the men
at New Vienna waiting for Cincinnati train
due In seven minutes. He promptly arrested
them, and found &c, 126 on the person OF one OF
them. most of it in the packages as received
from the bank. The man having the money
gave the name of George Carter and also had
registered AZ a hotel as II. III. Morton,
of Toledo. He is about thirty-five years of age,
wore full brown beard and mustache, has even.
fine teeth, lips firmly set, aquiline nose, and
weighs about $50 pounds. His confederate,
Black, was released upon the assurance
of men in New Vienna that he
was a well-known commercial traveller.
Marshal Duley gets a reward of $4,000 offered
for the arrest of the thief and recovery of the
money. II is thought Carter is a professional
confidence man and that he will be wanted in
other places for similar crimes. He is now at
Washington Courthouse Jail.

INCREASED WATER SUPPLY.
Col. Wilson's Report-The Abandoned
Tunnel-The New Iron Main.

Col. John " Wilson, in charge of the in
crease of the water supply of this city,
reports that no work was done
on the tunnel or the reservoir dur
ing April. The contractors continued
moving their materials from the entrances to
the shaft and until this was finished the govern
ment could not completely protect these open
ings, which. although not dangerous, will be
made perfectly secure during the present
month. Soundings were taken every three
or four days at the Rock Creek shaft
to determine the rate at which the
tunnel and shaft are filling with
water. The old wooden buildings belonging
to the government at the new reservoir will be
sold at auction May Il. As stated in THE STAR
at the time, contracts were awarded for iron
pipes, special castings. and valves, and during
the month operations were continued in the
preparation of plans and specifications and in
making preliminary arrangements for laying
THE NEW 4S-INCH MAIN.
The line of the main has been definitely
laid out except at the crossing of Rock creek.
Specifications have been prepared and
proposals invited for hauling the
iron pipe and building an iron
structure to carry il across Rock creek. II is
proposed, during May, TO prepare specifications
for excavating the trenches for the mains and
for furnishing the materials required for calk-
ing and to supervise the casting of the metal
and the construction of the valves.
