THE sUDDIvIDING OF LANDS.
Question Receiving the Attention
of District commissioners.

Among the many questions of vital inn
portance affecting the interests of the
District that have COME before the atten-
ton OF the Commissioners lately has been
the results likely to be obtained from a
circular letter sent some months ago to
property owners of fractions of lots or lots
numberedin duplicate.
This letter was sent in order that the
plating and subdividing Of land i'll the
District might be accomplished with less
difficulty and at the same time bring about
the desired result.
Engineer Commissioner Black had his
attention called to the letter, and, upon
investigation, he has come TO the concla-
sion that instead of proving benefit
the result might be just otherwise, for
the reason that property-owners holding
such land described might apply he
privileges accorded in the letter In
manner subversive to the regulations gov
erning the plating and subdividing of
land as it now exists.
Under it the owner might avail himself
OF many privileges. One point cited was
that a party owning a fraction OF any
lot might notify the assessor and have the
sane surveyed and entered upon the books
free OF an charge, and Capt. Black Thought
that would be in direct violation of the
act of 1883, regulating the subdivision OF
land in the District of Columbia. He has
therefore offered an amendment to the
origina! order, as follows:
provided that this order shall be inter-
preted in connection with and subordinate
to the general orders Of the Commissioners
issued pursuant to an act of Congress,
entitled: An act to regulate the subdiyi-
sion OF land within the District of Column
bia,' approved August 27, SSS."
One Of the principal objections to the
system established by the circular letter
is that it has the effect Of legalizing sub
divisions which would not otherwise ste
legalized, and in order to prevent that
result, Capt. Blacks amendment should
be added District Attorney Thomas has
had the matter called TO his attention and
will review it's legal aspect before anv
definite action is taken by the Commits.

FOUND DEAD IN THE RIVER.
Unknown Colored Woman Drowned
i'm the Potomac.

The body of an unknown culored woman,
apparently about twenty-fUur years of age,
was recovered from the river, near the foot
pf Fifteenth street, yesterday morning
hortiy after 10 o'clock A man named
James Sutland was walking along the
river front, and noticed an object floating
in the water, near the shore. Upon making
a further investigation, he discovered that
1t was the body Of woman, and. as
the waves washed IL up, he was able to
reach 1t with a pole, and drew Ii up on
the bank. The police were notified of the
finding, and the body was removed to the
New Jersey avenue morgue in the Fourth
precinct patrol wagon.
The woman had evidently been in the
water about three days and the body W ss
in a fairly good state of preservation.
Morguekeeper Schoenberger made d careful
examination of the body, but could find
NO marks OF violence or anything to cause
suspicious of foul play. The woman wore
q light coat and plaid gingham dress
and had Oh but one shoe. 1t is thought
that she was intoxicated and fell in the
river. Coroner Hammett was notified and
after viewing the remains decided to wait
until this afternoon before holding an in
quest, in order to ascertain the woman's
name. Last night no one had called atthe
