Wasting of Potomac Water.

DEMAND THAT THE POLICE COURT IMPOSE
HIGHER PENALTIES ON THOSE CONVICTED OF II.
Captain Lusk, in q letter to Commissioner
Raymond to-day, calls his attention to the fact
that while the law provides a penalty of from
IS to $50 for allowing waste of Potomac water,
the uniform practice of the PolceC Court for wears
has been to impose only the minimum fine.
$50 well is this known" saws Captain Lusk,
that with certain class it has passed into a
proverb that it is cheaper to pay 50 to the
Police Court than $40 to a plumber"
He says that under the existing law the water
division can deal with waste of water only
through the Police Court, and failure by that
institution to strictly administer the law simply
allows the waste to go on uncontrolled.
The water division, he says, is engaged in a
strong effort to detect and repress waste as far
as practicable, but this effort will not succeed
unless the Police Court does its duty with
strictness. He recommends that the attorney
for the District be instructed to press for the
imposition of a higher, and, if possible, the
maximum fine in all cases where the waste has
been established, and that the Commissioners
address a letter to the judge of the Police
Court representing to him the importance of
treating as they deserve all cases f.waste
which may be brought before him. He SAYS,
further, that this is only one phase of general
movement of the water division toward i'm
proving the pressure for domestic and fire pur-
poses by preventing all useless flow of water
into the sewers. The matter will be considered
by the board.

The Sudden Death of DIR. Brock, who
was Called to Attend Him.

Springfield, Mass, Special to the n Y Sun, Jan 80
The Very Rev. Patrick Healy, pastor of the

city, were summoned, and the case was deemed
SO serious that DR.. VIM. G.. Breck of this city,
the leading surgeon of western Massachusetts,
was called for consultation. Meanwhile, the
last rites of the church were administered to
Father Healy. DR.. Breck arrived at about 4
O'Clock, and after examining the patient retired
to an adjoining room with the other doctors
and the bishop.
Hes got to die" said DIR. Brock, with his
customary bluffness and decision. A moment
afterward, turning to Bishop O'Reilly, he re-
marked on the closeness of the room and
called for glass of water. Then he brought
his hand to his chest and coughed slightly, and
blood at once came from his mouth. .:Bleed

his friend at once complied. He saw the blood
was very dark and said calmly, 'Tm gone; that

MR.. COX MAKES A DENIAL.
The Georgetown School Site Purchase.

In the article published in yesterdays STAR
concerning the purchase of the school site on
Montgomery street, Georgetown, it was stated,
on information, that Mr.. Cox, as the agent of
the District, sent the deed, in which the con-
sideration Of $4,000 was named, to Mr. Bogue
for his clients signature. In a card published
this morning Mr.. Cox denies that he is the man..
He says: my agency expired with the
sixty days option on the property
of Mr.. Field, and beyond that
have had nothing to do with the transaction.
1 neither prepared nor sent to Mr.. Bogue nor
Mr.. Field any deed to be signed, nor made any
statement as indicated in the article. Abso-
lutely have had nothing whatever to do with
the contamination of the transaction" The
mention of Mr.. Cox as the alleged sender Of
the $4,600-deed and the one who completed the
transaction which he had begun was based
upon information believed to be reliable, but
The STAR cheerfully prints and accepts Mr..
Cox's denial that he acted as the Districts
agent in this particular transaction beyond the
point which he has indicated. The congress
sional investigation will probably determine
who did prepare and send the 1900 deed and
disclose all the facts in the case.

Naval Navigation.

A COMMODORE AND EIGHT OFFICERS STRANDED
ON A MUD BANK.
From the San Francisco Alta.
There was wild excitement around the city
front yesterday, which extended to military
circles and Mare Island. The cause of it all
was the disappearance, or rather the non-ap-
pearance of the government launch Nellie. with
Commodore Belknap and a party of officers
and their wives and families. She left San
Francisco at 3 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon
for Mare Island. At 2 O'Clock yesterday morn
ing the Nellie had not arrived at Mare Island
The officers in charge there became fright
ened. or course, rumor at once set to work
and it was spread everywhere that the Nellie
had been lost. with all hands At 2:30 O'Clock
the Monterey was hastily gotten ready at Mare
Island. and with party of officers on board
steamed down on her search. Though a strict
lookout was kept no sign of the Nellie was met
with. and when the Monterey arrived here
about o'clock yesterday morning there was a
sickening conviction gaining ground that the
Nellie was gone. As she had left for Mare
Island at O'Clock she ought to have arrived
about p m. Becoming convinced that nothing
could be learned here of the missing boat and
party, the Monterey started ON a search around
the bay. Nothing was heard until noon, when
a telephone message was received which said
that the Nellie and Monterey had arrived at
o'clock in the morning. both safe and sound
1t was later learned that the Nelliee had
grounded on a mud fiat off the Two Brothers.
How the party on board passed the night
may be imagined. 1t was bitterly cold and
there was hardly room to move in the tiny
cabin. There is a general feeling Of sympathy

NAVAL APPROPRIATION BILL.
What the Committees Report Says of
the Washington Navy-Yard.

The report of the naval committee of the House
on the naval appropriation bill contains some
matters of interest, especially in Washington.
Congress appropriated, August 3, 1886, $1,000
900 for the erection of the necessary plant at
the Washington navy-yard for assembling and
constructing the most powerful modern guns,
an amount at that time estimated to be suffi-
cient
This has proven to be insufficient, and the
present bill carries the additional sum required
by the estimates, S625,O00. This bill, if en-
acted into law, will have completed all the ap-
preparations.
In connection with this work at the Wash
ington navy-yard the report says: THE con-
tract made by the Navy department in June,
1887, with the Bethlehem iron company, was for
forgings for fifty 6-inch, six S-inch, twenty
one 10-inch. and two 12-inch guns.
These will complete the great gun batteries
for the Miantonomah. Charleston, Baltimore,
Bennington, Philadelphia, Newark, San Fran
cisco, Maine, Monadnock. Terror. Amphitrite,
Puritan, Texas. The delivery of these forgings
is by contract to begin February /, 1890, and to
be completed November /, 1891, but the COM
pany has made such satisfactory progress that
it is expected deliveries will be commenced in
March of the present year.
THE ordnance department is now assemb-
ling, with the plant we have already at the
hayward, ID. c., guns which are, of their size,
first class in every particular. The Boston,
Chicago, Atlanta and Dolphin carry nineteen
6-inch modern breech-loading rifled guns and
eight of 8 inches. OF these, six of the for
mer and four Of the latter class
were made at the Washington navy-Yard
There are, besides these, on hand, finished, at
the Washington yard, six 6-inch guns and three
10-inch guns, besides eight 6-inch guns about
seven-eighths complete.
When the works at that yard shall be COM
pleted the average time of assembling there a
6-inch gun will be, say, 100 days, a 12-inch gun
200 days, etc. The annual capacity of the yard,
and IL 12-inch guns. The plant is to be fitted
to manufacture as high as l6-inch guns.
We are also constructing guns by contract at
South Boston iron works and West Point
foundry-at present six at each place, to be
completed in July and August of the present
year. The guns made at the hayward have
so far been somewhat cheaper than those fur
nished by contract. The tests TO which our
new guns have been submitted show
them to be equal at any made at
the congratulated workshops in Europe.
We have at the proving ground one 10-inch
gun-carrage, manufactured at the Washington
navy-yard, and three others will be completed
within two months; also two 6-inch carriages
completed and thirty-one others more than
half finished-all at the Washington navy-yard.
The contract with the Hotchklss Arms COM
pany is for ninetyf -four rapid fire guns consist
ing of thirty 6-pounders, twenty-five 3-pound-
ers, ten 1-pounders, and thirty-two 37-milli-
