Their Report as to the Safety OF Theaters
and Public Buildings.
The Grand Jury Of the January term Of the
Criminal Court was finally discharged by Judge
Bradley:this afternoon with the thanks of the
court. They presented to the court a
special report in which they stated that
they had made examination Of a
number Of thester and hotel buildings
as to the means taken for the safety of life and
limb in case of fire and panic and they had
carefully noted the condition Of fire escapes
and alarms.
OF the theaters they found the National, Ker-
mans, Harris and Lincoln Music Hall amply
provided with means Of escape. At Albaugh's
they found that Improvements could be made
and the Globe is reported as wretchedly pro-
vided with such means.
The Shoreham, Normandie, National. Metro
politan, Riggs House and Ebbitt they report
as being well arranged. They make q number
Of recommendations as to Willard's and the
Corcoran building and suggest an additional
FIRE escape at the Inter Ocean building.
They report. after an inspection of the fail
and aims house that certain Improvements are
needed at both places, and for the better Sc
curity Of prisoners the Jail should have six ad-
dltional guards and the help at the aims house
should be increased by two.

THE DISTRICTS DIRECT TAX.
An Additional Letter From Assistant Attorney
Thomas.

Thomas.
The following letter from Assistant Attorney
S. t. Thomas regarding the direct tax was
received by the Commissioners and is interest
ing:
''In regard to the question OF the refund
ment of the direct tax about which addressed
you communication some days ago notice
by tho newspapers the matter has been re-
ferred to the District auditor and that be
has expressed himself somewhat differently to
the advice l gave you: | assume that individ-
ual citizens OF the District paid the tax. If
they did not and the same was paid
by the three corporations existing
in the District at the time namely, by the cor
porations of Washington and Georgetown and
the levy court out OF their respective treasures
then the amount of the direct tax SO paid
belongs to the District and not to individuals.
Several persons since my letter to you
have exhibited to me tax bills which
they claimed showed they had paid
the direct tax, but upon examination
of those bills they appeared to be mostly for
internal revenue tax and not for direct taxes
as such. One gentleman had some bills signed
by James Pilling as collector Of taxes
for the county in which were items
for direct tax, but this must have been a mis-
take. as thegovernment, if it had collected the
tax of citizens of this District would not have
collected it through local officers, SO that un-
less tax was laid, unless by the
levy court to reimburse the payment Of the
direct tax, the bills in question are erroneous.
In the insurrectionary states, wherever the
army went the tax was collected by
commissioners. Mr.. Petty notes difference
between the Districts quota of the direct tax
and the amount paid into the treasury. This
difference, l think, is explained by the fact that
the law allowed a discount OF Is per cent for
prompt payment.

DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.
A POINT IN A LICENSE CASE.

A peculiar case has just arisen with reference
to liquor license. Richard Driscoll keeps q
bar room at the corner Of North Capitol and G
streets, opposite the old Capitol Park He has
complied with every requisite except as to the
number of signatures, he needing the signature
of the owner of the Capitol Park. For this rea-
son the license for the present year was refused.
Today Mr.. j. j. johnson. the attorney for Drls-
coll, wrote to the Commissioners that there are
no tenants in the square, and that upon investi-
CATION he finds that an equity suit is now
pending in the Supreme Court Of the
District Of Columbia wherein Scanlon ct al
are compliments and Snow and others defend
ants. The proceedings, he says, develop the
fact that Mr.. Snow gave a deed Of trust to Sc
cure MIR. I. ". Smith, and that the point he
makes Is that the signature Of Mr.. Snow is not
required. inasmuch as the legal title is
law requires the legal owner. The trustee he
says, is the legal owner and Mr.. Smith the
cestui que trust, and il in law the tenant II the
trustee and the cestui que trust signed the ap-
pllcatlon that Is all that is required. The at
torney for the District has been asked to render
an opinion upon the legal points involved.
THAT HOUSE ON SIXTEENTH STREET.
Morris & Hamilton have written the Commits
sioners lengthy letter calling their attention
to the prosecutions, past and prospective, in
the Police Court against the owners and tenants
of house No. 1900 18th street northwest
for the maintenance Of an alleged
nuisance on the premises. The nuisance con-
sists Of old-style plumbing and the gentlemen
call the Commissioners attention to section IL
of the laws and regulations relating to the pub
lie health in the District of Columbia The sec
ton prohibits any water closets or other
connections from being kept in filthy condi-
ton. Acting under the authority contained in
this law the parties occupying were arraigned
missed. Thomas J. Fisher 4 Co, the
agents Of the house, we're next called
into court They declined to tear out the old
plumbing and were acquitted Of the charge Of
maintaining nuisance. The letter states that
the lady of the house was insulted by Mr.
Heard Of the health Office. The plumbing has
been repeatedly examined and is pronounced
perfect. An investigation will follow.

THERE MAY BE A QUARREL.
Possible Dispute Over Irlsli-Americana
Recognizing Parnell as Leader.

Possible Dispute Over Irlsh-Americans
Recognizing Parnen Leader.
ST.. LOUIS, April 6.-The correspondence be-
tween DIR. Thos. OReilly of this city, mem
Der Of the executive council, and President
Fitzgerald of the Irish national party, will pos
sibly develope into q sensational controversy
between the leading members Of the league in
America. The question at issue is whether the
league will still recognize Parnell as leader Of
the Irish party in parliament or in conse-
quence of his deposition by a majority vote
will no longer recognize him.
"Parnell's conduct said DIR. O'Reilly, "has
disqualified him as leader Of the Irish party
This is the general opinion throughout
America. There are, however, few who are
inclined to recognize Parnell as the leader. A
dispatch from Lincoln. Neb., purporting to be
from friend of Mr.. Fitzgerald, with his sane
ton denies the charge that made against him
Of being inclined to favor Parnell and of call
ing the council Of the national league together
for the purpose Of having the league support
him. The charge is nevertheless true, as
papers in my possession will show"

Henry School, Boatswain's Mate on the
Santee, Pursued in Maryland.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
ANNAPOLIS, Nd, April 6.-Last Sunday q
man named Henry School, a boatswain's mate
on the U.s.s. santee, at Eastport near Annap-
oils, committed q criminal assault upon q
thirteen-yser-old orphan girl who was under
his care at the time. Yesterday the people got
wind of the affair, and a mob started to lynch
him. He escaped in the direction of Bay
Ridge. where it is thought he took the steamer
across the bay or is concealed in the woods.
. Sheriff Armiger and Constable Small aided
by government steam launches, started out to
capture him last night but so far nothing has
been heard of him. This affair, coming SO soon
after the hanging of Ernest Forbes for a similar
offense. has created quite q Sensstion, and if
the offender is captured he will hardly be safe
in the Jail here.

there were no expressions Of confidence.
That gentleman had announced himself as
enlisted for the war and those who knew him
very readily believed his statement Some few
thought it possible that he might be convinced
by the strike committee, but the majority de-

Mr.. DARBY MEANS FraHr.
To STAR reporter who talked with him this
afternoon the situation had decidedly belliger.
ant look. Mr.. Darby had been consult
ing with legal advisers and was evil
IDENTITY on the warpath. Since the
strike started President Kennedy Of
Columbia Union has voiced the intention Of
his organization to do all it could in the inter-

steer as much work as possible away from Mr..
Darby. With these statements be-

Mr.. Darby was Of opinion that
such interference, especially by government
employee, was unwarrantable and he said so.

Coming In Thousands From Ireland.

DUBLIN, April 6.-There is no abatement in
the tide Of Irish emigration. During the past
week six liners took ,426 persons mostly of
the farming class, but including a few me-
chanics, from Connaught and Munster. Fully
two-thirds Of the passage money Of these people
was paid by their kinsmen in America. All the
steamers of the Inman and White Star lines an
nounced to sail have full lists of passengers,
and everything indicates that for the next three
months the number OF emigrants will be fully
equal to that for the corresponding period of
1890.
