QUARTERS POR THE ASSESSORS.

Controller Matthews Decides That the Com
missioners Can Use the Emergency Fund.
Recently, it will be remembered, the Com
missioners submitted to the first controller the
question whether they could draw upon the
emergency fund to provide quarters for the new
board Of assessors. Today Controller Matthews
replied to the Commissioners as follows:
Replying to your communication Of late
date, handed to me by Col. Ross Of your board,
on the subject of the expenditure Of part Of
the emergency fund, I have the honor to say
that if you shall determine officially that
the work you propose to do is Of
such character that the public serv-
ice absolutely demands that it shall
be done at once, and it is not otherwise suffi-
GENTLY provided for and if such shall appear
to be the fact, by your certificate or other
evidence, when the accounts are presented,
proper credit will be allowed at this Office.
The law, you will notice, to wit, that in all
other cases OF emergency not otherwise sutii-
GENTLY provided for is very broad and would
allow you to use tho fund, no doubt. in case
calamity by flood or fire and OF like character,
also named in the appropriation act"
The Commissioners will at once order the
inspector of buildings to build room in the
area between the District building proper and
the back addition occupied by the building in
spector and auditor.
This relieves the Commissioners Of consider
able embarrassment, for at present the District
building is overcrowded and there are no funds
available to provide quarters. All that now
remains for the Commissioners to do is to ap-
point the assessors. This will not be done I'M
til Col. Robert returns from his vacation, which
will be about the LIST Of June.

BLEW OUT THE GAS.
Mary Warrington Found Dead In Her Room
This Morning.

Mary Washington Found Dead In Her Room
This Morning.
Every door and window in the house Of Mr..
Thomas Thompson, No. 10 4th street southeast,
was open this morning to let out the gas that
had escaped during the night in the room
which had been occupied by the late cook Of
the house.
She was q big fat colored woman and her
name was Mary Washington. She formerly
lived in that part of Virginia where the
father Of his country lived and attended church.
There was no such thing as Illuminating
gas in that section, and consequently Mary was
unacquainted with anything to brighten the
house after dark except tallow dips and an oc-
casional kerosene lamp.
Two years ago Mary gave up her home in the
county and came here, hiring herself out as q
cook. Whether or not there was gas in the
houses where she was employed is not known,
but judging from last nights experience there
was not
Only three days ago she found employment
IN Mrs. Thompson's house and that lady gave
her the necessary instructions as to how to
operate the gas fixtures and at the same time
provided her with a tallow dip to use in her
bed room to avoid the possibility Of accident.
Mary was very tired last night and when she
started for her room with the tallow candle in
her hand she was almost asleep. She got to
her room all right and retired. The gas had
probably been lighted earlier in the evening and
just before retiring she blew out the gas, as she
had extinguished the lights in the country
many times, and went to bed unconscious Of
the fact that she would never wake again.
This morning when Mary failed to get to the
kitchen at the usual hour Mrs. Thompson
started toward her room to call her, when she
discovered the smell Of the escaping gas. She
knew that something was wrong and when the
door of the cooks room was opened Mary was
seen lying across the bed

A Successful Entertainment Given Last Night
by the Capitol Hill High school.
The Capitol Hill High School gave an enter
tainment and May festival last evening in the
hall Of the Peabody building. The whole affair
was a great success.
An overture by the High School orchestra,
numbering some fifteen pieces, opened the en-
tertainment. Miss Garrigues' class in Delsarte
calisthenics next appeared. The class last
evening illustrated the daily work and then as
sumed attitudes illustrative Of different emo
tons, ending with a stage fall, when a squad Of
cadets with real guns and blank cartridges.
shot a deserter.
The presentation Of Howell's farce, tho
'Mouse Trap" was highly creditable to the
pupils taking part and to Mr.. Kramer, the
teacher Of English, who had trained them.
Wills Campbell. as personated by Mr.. Henry
Tulloch was particularly fine.
The soprano solo by Miss Bertha Lincoln and
the readings by Mr.. Edward g. Townsend and
Miss Ada Townsend were so we'll received that
each of these specialists was obliged to respond
to encore. Tho Tyrolean Mandolin Quar-
1es made an , equally good Ss
cadets Of company +, High School battalion,
all of whom are members Of this school. This
company, unlike the others, consists only Of
first year boys. and, under the command OF
Lieut.. Cook, made q fine showing in its first
public appearance.
At the conclusion of the entertainment Trus-
tee Mitchell spoke few congratulatory words
from tine stage and then refreshments were
served by young ladies of the school under the
direction of two Of the teachers, Misses Cara
way and Allen. The decorations, which had
been superintendent by the art teacher, Miss
Chester, consisted of numbers Of magnificent
army flags draped with beautiful effect.
The. distribution of tickets had been in charge
of Miss Glover, the history teacher, and was so
well done that the hall was crowded to its ut
most capacity, rendering the entertainment as
respects. The proceeds are for the school Ii
brary. Principal Sites and the other teachers
received many compliments for the excellent
sho wing this new school has made.

Bill to Enjoin the q. 8. Marshal From Re-
tanning Custody Of the Furniture.
E Francis Riggs has, by W. d. Davidgs, filed
q bill against G. w. Spoford, F. Hume ct al. to
restrain levy and enjoin the marshal from re-
tanning the custody Of the furniture, &C., Of the
Riggs House. The bill states that in December,
1877, Mr.. Spofford leased the Riggs House for
the term Of five years at . rental of
$50, 900 per annum and on December 10, being
indebted to George W. Riggs, executed deed
of trust to T. J. Fisher and c. C. Glover to Sc
cure the payment Of SO, 900 and the rental;
thatin October last, the rent being largely
in arrears, Spofford stipulated that the rent
would be paid on the first Of the present
month the rent due being SS5, $685. So; that on
April IA, when complainant was about TO bring
suit, an agreement was made by Spohord for
the execution of the deed Of trust and the pay
ment of the note and under this agreement the
goods were advertised for sale on the 4th in
stant and on that day the sale was prevented
by the levy of executions by the marshal, one
for q, 81 SO in favor Of Frank Hume and one
in favor Of 7. D. DAILY for s5,94s.4S, to which
SpoHord had confessed Judgment; that the
marshal inventoried the goods to the amount Of
about $500 and still holds them.
The bill states that il Is chained by the iude-
ment creditors that the property Is subject 70
the executions because the deed Of trust was
confined to rest within the term Of the lease
while complainant claims that il covers the
whole tenancy. and that the Judgment cred
itors must secure the arrears of rent not ex-
ceeding one year before they can take the
goods.
The application was made 10 Judge HAxnsr,
who took the papers under sdvissment
