Tie executive committee has invited de-
signs for stands for spectators on the line

cession and for musicians for the street
concerts.
twenty-five dollars will be paid to the au-
thor of the designs deemed most suitable
for each of the four classes mentioned.

ings for designs adopted for execution by

white to scale of one-quarter inch TO the
foot. with explanatory details at scale of
three-quarters of an inch 10 the foot.
Drawing will be submitted to the COM
nlittee on stands at ZIG T street northwest
on Thursday, April %, 1899, al II m.
The sidewalk stands are to be placed one
foot inside of curb line and project six feet
six inches beyond same, king a total
width Of seven feet six inches; they are to
| be divided into three equal divisions of two
| feet six inches each, with a rise of six
| inches at each division; the rear step is to
be six inches above the sidewalk, and is to
| be built III sections of a size conveniently
! handled by four men. The rail a the back

| should be designed to give the great
! est seating capacity and at the same time
allow free passage for vehicles or pedes-
| TRANS. There will be stands also at inter

the board Of lady managers of the Garfield
Memorial Hospital at Marshall Hall will

erously patronized. The steamer Macales-
ter will leave promptly from her wharf the

crate preparations are being made for the

DARING LOCAL ROBBERY
Sydney Foster Under Arrest, Charged With
the Crime.
Confesses to Having Rifed Mail
Pouches - Remains of One
Found In n Cellar.

A bold and daring robbery which for sew
eral days past has been clouded in mystery
was brought to light late this afternoon by
the investigation of Post Office Inspect or
F. E. Little, ably assisted by the employees
of the post office in this city. AS result
Sydney Foster colored youth, is now in
the custody of the United States officials
charged with robbery and the opening OF
government mail pouches.
Foster was secured this afternoon on a
warrant for his arrest sworn out by John
). Fowler, United States commissioner.
Under examination Foster admitted his
guilt and told of the whereabouts of the
stolen property. Two men were sent to the
place indicated by Foster, which was the
residence of Mr.. James Patterson, at 1910
Cameron street. In the cellar they discoV-
cred the remains of mail pouch. 1t had
been ripped open, apparently with peck
ct knife, and depleted of its contents. AT
the post office it is stated the robbery oc-
CURED on the night of the 18th instant from
train No. 81 over the Southern road, which
reaches Alexandria from Washington at
1903 pm.
There is another mail train on the Penn
Sylyania road which arrives here at 1910
p. m. These coming so close together make
1t difficult for one man to attend to both
patches of mail. Accordingly the night of
the alleged robbery it developed that Fos-
ter was sent to the Southern depot while
the regular carrier went to the Pennsyl-
yanla station. The next day it was noticed
at the post office that there was a pouch
lost, and it was also ascertaned that il
contained mail matter for the local bank
Inquiry was made among the drivers but
until late last night no clew could be found.
About that time Mrs. Samuel Brent made
complaint of the loss of handsome pair of
gloves which she expected in the mail.
This was a clew to work upon, and it was
found that Foster had made his sweat heart
the present of a pair of gloves answering
the description of those expected by Mrs.
Brent
He was then charged with the offense
but protested his innocence. This afternoon
he stated that he had burned the contents
of the pouch
Foster was employed by Mr.. James Pat
terson, the contractor for hauling the mails

TAX BILLS CANCELLED.
Assessments for improvements Not
Made by District,

The attorney for the District has rem
dered opinion which will be read with
much interest by the property owners in lie
Drot Park, the attorney holding that the
District cannot compel payment of assess
inents for water mains unless they were
laid by the District. This opinion the Com
mIssioners have approved.
Mr.. Charles +. Fairmaa recently request
ed the Commissioners to cancel three no.
tees Of water main assessments on sublots
3d. 81 and 81. block II, LIE Droit Park
This main, he stated, was laid by A L.
Barber more than twenty years ago. with
the understanding that as it was laid at
his personal expense, subsequent purchas-
ers of lots abutting on the main should not
be assessed therefor This fact said Mr.
Fdlrman, is admitted by the District water
department. The value OF the abutting lots
he contended. was so enhanced thereby
that Mr. Barber received compensation in
the Increased price at which he sold them
and MI fairman therefore suggested to the
commissioners mat it would be manifestly
UNJUST and UNFAIR for the District to collect
by way Of special tax, the expense of a
water main which the District did not lay,
anu Tor winch IL has never been put to any
expense.
The matter was referred to the attorney
Tor the District, who reports that IF as
cOntended by MIR. Fairmsn the water main
in question was not laid by the District, or
at its expense, it is manifest that the Dis
trict has no authority to impose ASSESS
nents in order to collect the cost and ex-
penSe of main laid by private individuals
The act of Congress of July s, 1855 in re-
sard to water main assessments and reas-
sessrnents contemplates the assessment
ana reassesSment for mains laid by the
District Of Columbia, and at its expense
My opinion Is The mater main tax bills IN
question were enormously rendered and
should, therefore, be cancelled"

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK. April 1.-THE market
opened fractionslly higher this mornins.
and prices held well under the general cN-
peotation of a good bank statement. The
volume of business was not uot.ceably i'm
proved and Tie demand was either FOR
traders or the Interests identified with Ger
tain of the moSe conspicuous speciaItirs

bought for inside account and Connectit-lt
Tobacco was given good supporter the an
nounccmcat that the company had ACQUIRED
the LiGgett a Myers plant.
In Tennessee Coal and Iron there wer.
evidences Of profit taking on considerable
scale. Outside Of the few Industrial issues
little was accomplished and the trading had
no special significance. There is a strong
belief in the iron and steel issues. but con
servative Judges do not anticipate more
than gradual Improvement in any part OF
the list
The belief in higher prices prevails very
generally except in the granger shares IN
which judgment s suspended pending more
complete crop returns or is openly opposed
TO higher prices. The short interest has
been extended in these shares and is being
relied upon to force an advance in prices
later on.
lnactton is pronounced characteristic
just at the moment the force necessary To
overcome this inertia Is an unknown Guam
tlty. The constant watching of the indus
trial list and the returns from the proper
lies SO classified may at any time give way
10 considerable demand.
The money situation. while expanding its
favorable conditions, is merely In a con-
Valescent stage ard brokers are not likely
TO permit the reckless borrowing which
was so suddenly halted fortnight ago
The weekly report OF the associated banks
makes a Very good showing and gives evil
dences of moro rational dealings in the
stock market
The banks have gained 81. 1iS4 ,oeo in cash
holdings and have had their loans reduced
over S7I30,91. This latter item reflects
the reduced volume of business at the stock
exchange. but as the reduction has been
accomplished without substantial reduction
in values the result is satisfactory from all
sides. The decrease in deposits l. about
81 O7S, 900, and is nearly consistent with the
crease Of 81 7o4.3 15. The surplus reserve is
row $2i,1T59O an amount singularly in
consistent with fears of tight money.
The banks may continue to scrutinize col
laterals, but standard issues will go into
loans at satisfactory rates. Mixed col
laterals should be acceptable also and the
market need not long remain under the
fear Of interest charges. The rush and eX-
element of the markets of a month ago
may not be duplicated during the coming
season, but prices seem destined to make
new records along old lines.

Case VIII Probably Go to the Jury
Next "wednesday.

CANTON, Ohio, April 22.-The third week
of the trial of Mrs. Annie George for the
murder Of George d. Saxton, closed today.
The arguments will occupy Monday and
Tuesday and the case will probably go TO
the jury Wednesday.
The sensational features of this week of
the trial have been the appearance of wit
nesses for the defense of the son and the
divorced husband of the defendant. Al
though the latter had secured damages
from SaXton, as wei as a divorce. with
Saxton as correspondent, he testified strong
ly in favor of his former wife, stating that
they had always lived happily until they
met Saxton. Neither Mrs. George nor Mrs.
Althouse was on the witness stand. Mrs.
Althouse remained in hiding. If she had
been found, Mrs. George would have testi-
fled in her own defense, but attorneys for
the defense decided to rest the alibi es-
tablshed by the testimony Of Mrs. Klinger.

MISSOURI RIVER ON 4 ROOM.
Overfiosvs at Omaha, st. Joseph and
Kansas City.

OMAHA. Neb., April 22.-The Missouri
river rose seven inches at this point during
the night, and a large amount of land on
the bottoms is overlooked. Many railroad
switching tracks on the bottoms are now
under water but no main line is affected
On both sides of the river much valuable
farm lind is under water. Boyer Island
below Missouri valley. was flooded last
night.
KANSAS CITY. Mo, April 22.-The Mis-
souri, river continues to rise herr, though
not rapidly IS for the past four days
Squatters on the lowlands between here
ard St. Joseph are moving to higher
ground ana farmers are getting property
to SAFE places.
At Kansas City. Leavenworth and s.. Jo-
seph much land Is already under water, but
no serious damage has resulted. The Bur-
lrgtOn tracks between Kansas City and
East Atchison are partially submerged.
At Kansas City. Kan, the kaw river is
rising rapidly, and squatt=rs are on the
move
ST. JOSEPH. Mo. April 22-The Missouri
river flood resulted last night in the break
ing of the Payne levee at Hamburg. Ia
eighty miles north of St. Joseph. and the
bottoms are flooded for miles below. There
would have been loss of life had not a large
force OF workmen, who had been trying to
strengthen the leyee for several days
warned the farmers of the impending dan
ger. Many lost household goods and live
stock.
The break increased in size by the rush
of water until it is now two hundred feet
wide, The dyke was built to protect part
Of the town of Hamburg and the depot
tracks Of the Burlington railroad.
A large force Of railroad men, aided by
citizens Of Hamburg. have worked al the
break all day. filing it with bags of sand
and as the waters above are now recedins
1t is not believed the damage will be added
to. The railroad tracks are still intact
