boat about noon to-day. East was out with
party Of friends last evening and when he re-
turned to the boat about O'Clock il is said that
he was under the influence of liquor. He had
several feet to jump from the wharf to the boat
and in doing so he went overheard. He cried
Tor help several times and then he cried s.mur-
der" His cries were answered by some COL
ored men on the Great Falls Ice company's
wharf, who went 10 his assistance and rescued
him from what would soon have been a watery
grave. When lifted to the boat he was asked
If he had any dry clothing and an
swered in the affirmative. One of the
men offered to make fire in
the stove for him, but he declined the offer and
said he would build one himself He went
into the cabin and that was the last seen OF
him. As he did not appear on the wharf this
morning something wrong was suspected and a
visit was paid to the boat. East had taken OF
his coat and attempted TO cover himself ON the
bed, but he had not succeeded. His wet cloth
ing were still on his body. An examination
showed that he was dead. having been frozen
% death during the night The body was re-
moved to the morgue and the coroner was noti-
fed. Deceased was about forty-fve years old
and had been in Capt Faunce's employ for sew
eral years. Some months ago there was fire

ENGINEER REPORTS ExPEcrEp-THE COMMITTEE
TO MEET MONDAY

The joint congressional committee charged
with the investigation into the construc-
ton OF the aqueduct tunnel will hold a
meeting on Monday to hear the
formal report Of the board of expert engineers.
The engineers have made a thorough inspec.
ton OF the tunnel and they have carefully ex-
ahmed the hundred Of apertures made by the
"sounder" in faulty work.
The committee has, however, heard aufi-
cient from the engineers to allow them to map
OUT 70 certain extent. their course in
the matter. The committee has, up to
the present time, been in favor Of a
total abandonment of the tunnel and the adop-
ton Of some better plan to supply the city
with the needed water, but it has
now practically come to the conclu-
sion that the more economical plan
viii be to have the present perforated cylinder
repaired at the expense of the delinquent con-
tractors. The cost of this work will, il is be-
neved, amount to nearly half million dollars
One or two Of the members are rather in
clined to allow Beckwith d Quackenbush make
good the work with their own en-
ployes, but il that is done the new
construction will be supervised by force of
inspectors, which will be large enough and
sufficiently well paid to prevent any more
''shoddy" packing.
1t is an open secret that on several import
ant points the board of engineers is not
in perfect harmony, and it is not
improbable that when the report
of the board reaches the committee il win be
signed by but two Of the engineers, while mi
nority report will be filed by the third MEM

THEY ASK FOR EQUAL PAY.
A Petition from School Teachers Sent to
the Senate To-day.

The Following petition signed by 266 Of the
public school teachers Of the District was sent
to Senator ingalls, to-day as President pro TEN.
Of the Senate: The undersigned, teachers in
the public schools Of the District of Columbia,
beg leave to respectfully represent:
That great inequality exists in the salaries
OF teachers performing the same or similar
work in the same grade. which results from the
fact that formerly teachers were allowed
longevity pagan increase Of $50 being paid
for each year until a maximum amount was
reached. Two or three years ago, however,
the system of longevity pay was abolished
leaving teachers of the same grade at salaries
Of different amounts. as they happened to fall
at that time. This unequal and unjust condi-
ton of salaries still exists, and. as we are in
formed, there is no redress except through
legislation.
That, in some instances, teachers Of less ex-
perience are receiving greater pay than those
OF more experience or longer service, though
performing work in the same grade school.
That. although Congress has enacted a pro-
vision that there shall be no inequality in
the salaries of teachers on account Of sex,
such discrimination is still made in some in
stances
THAT under the present system some teachers
who are principals Of building, receive less pay
than others of the same grade who are not
principals, Notwithstanding that principals
have greater responsibilities, involving a super
vision of the discipline of all the schools in the
building. and much clerical labor, besides the
charge of their own pupils.
I'VE further represent that owing to the
insuffciency of the appropriations of IS and
Sc deduction was made from the salaries of
8 per cent at one time and one-sixth of per
cent at another.
I'm view of what your petitioners believe to
be inequalities in their. compensation and I'M
business in the deduction from their salaries of
the percentage mentioned, they beg to invite
your favorable consideration with a view of
the enactment Of further remedial legislation
without diminishing the pay Of those teachers
who now receive the higher salaries of their
respective grades and specific appropriation
for the reimbursement of all the moneys de-
Quoted from their salaries"

PAVING SEVENTH STREET SOUTHEAST.

Capt. Symons has written to Major Raymond
for instructions relative to the paving of 7th
street southeast He says that the Anacostia
railroad company will occupy portion of this
street, and it is question whether the pave
ment should be put down before or after the
tracks are laid. He says that if the work of
paving the street should proceed before laying
Of the tracks, it would necessitate short time
thereafter the tearing up of the street for the
enlightenment of the railroad tracks in which
case the District would be debarred from col
lecting from the railroad company its share of
the pavement between the tracks and two feet
exterior thereto. Ii the pavement be stopped
and held up until the railroad tracks are laid
or until the charter time expires, which is on
the LIST Of August, 1889, there will be very long
delay. In the latter case, Capt. Symons thinks
that money could be retained to complete this
work after the expiration of the charter time
If the railroad does not lay its tracks.

Mr.. A. J. Drexel, of Philadelphia, il known
not only as one of the leading business men OF
the country, but as man of thoughtful views
and enlarged ideas upon all matters of public
interest. A representative of The SrAR visiting
Philadelphia had an interesting talk with him
yesterday, in which he expressed himself
warmly in favor of the proposed national
park and of every measure calculated to make
Washington the great ornament of the repub-
lie.
Mr.. Drexel said: my attention has been
specially attracted to Washington of late by
reason Of the location there of parties of ma
tional reputation and large means who have
become Interested in various improvements
that will do the capital city a great amount of
good. feel a personal pride in Washington,
because 1t stands in the eyes of ali foreigners
who come to this country as the city represent
ing our American progress. Everything tend
ing to develop the beauty and attractiveness of
the city should receive the earnest support OF
every citizen Of the republic.
MY ideas are perhaps more liberal than those
OF most men on this subject. / would go so far
as to reduce taxation to a minimum for the
next twenty-fiv years with the view of Undue
ing parties to locate there, and would be will
ing to see large appropriations made from the
national Treasury for the purpose of erecting
buildings commensurate in dignity and style,
not only with the United States Of to-day, but
with the growth of the future. have been
mortified at the lack of public spirit exhibited
by many OF our legislators, who have not only
consented to, but have in fact urged the loca-
ton of buildings on public reservations, laid of
by the founders of the city as parks for the
people.
THE class Of public buildings that have been
put up in the past fifteen years have not only
been too cheap for Washington, but they would
not have been erected for the use Of the leading
banking houses and large corporations In the
city of Philadelphia. The abandonment OF
the better style of architecture. and the mass
ing together Of large buildings without regard
to any system, think is most unwise.
Washington ought to be provided with the
best parks, the finest statuary, the grandes,
opera-houses and academy of music, and, in
fact, with the greatest attractions of any city
in the world. I cannot too strongly express
my endorsement of every enterprise tina;
would benefit Washington, and as an American
citizen, desiring to perform my duty to the
public, / shall take great pleasure in making
my full share to individual contribution in this
direction.
1.-THE men who pay the largest import duties
are the most willing that the surplus, which
has attracted SO much attention during the pas,
year, should not only be expended in large i'm
provements in the different states, but that a
liberal portion of it should be devoted to max
