The complaint OF the two boys Tesid-
ing in Southeast Washington who stated
in a letter to the Commissioners that
they had been uHjastly- treated by the
police officers of the Fifth precinct. has
been returned from Police Headquarters
with a statement from F F. McCathran.
commanding the precinct. He states that
the trouble complained Of grew out Of an
arrest made by Policeman Edwards. a
colOTed member Of the force, objection
being made to such arrest on the ground
that the officer serving the warrant was
negro. Lieutenant McCathran said:
On November l SansbuTy claims that
he was assaulted by Frederick Turner
and others to such an extent that he was
obliged to go to a hospital for treatment.
On the following day SansbuTy swore out
a warrant against Turner which was
placed IN the hands Of Private Edwards
He went to Turner's residence on two
different occasions for the purpose of
making arrangements for Turner'S ap-
pearance IN court He was unable to 10
cate the young man. and on November
>, at 12:15 a n. with PTivates Bean and
Johnson. Private Edwards went to the
Turner house, gave an alarm at the front
door. and informed the boys father that
he held a warrant for Fred Turner. and
asked the father TO produce him. The
father informed the policeman that they
that they had proper warrant. and that
it would be necessary to come in unless
the young man should be produced
Edwards and Bean went TO the rear
door, which they found unfastened They
tUTred up a lamp that was already burn
ing The father came down and was
again told that they had q warrant for
Fred. He and others in the house said
that no negro should take Fred. Ed
wards then went up stairs, brought him
dom, and took him to the stationhouse
Turner'S friends did not come to the sta
tfo1house until after the van had gone 20
the court They were informed of this
fact and directed to gn to the Police
Court and make their arrangements
there"
Lieutenant MeCathran states that with
reference to the general conduct of off,
GERS Of the Fifth Precinct, that the com
plant book shows forty-eight complaints
against boys since July last. He also
states that in his opinion Policeman Ed
wards did not exceed his authority in the
arrest of Fred Turner.
In forwarding he report of the 1ieuten-
ant to the Commissioners the Superfn-
tendent approved the same and expressed
the opinion that the officer in question
had acted as he ought 20 do under the cir
cumstauces.

! AS already published in The Times, the
Auditor for the State and other depart
/ ments recently called the attention of the
! Commissioners to the fact that in the ac-
/ count between the Collector of Taxes and
] the District for the year ended June 80,
1850, the amount refunded as duplicate
/ payments do not appear IN the account.
/ He asks for an explanation.
The statement of the State Department
Auditor was first referred to the Auditor
Of the District Tor his view of the matter
who made certain recommendations reia-
tive to changes in bookkeeping, which IN
MS view would obyiate all trouble in the
future
The matter was tEen taken up by the As
/ SCISSOR who informed the Commissioners
that he had given careful attention to the
J recommendations Of the Auditor in rela-
/ ton TO the accounts between the Collector
Of Taxes and the District to meet the views
OF the Auditor OF the State and other de-
partments. He calls attention to one of
( these recommendations which was that
! the Assessor be instructed to And the sum
of all taxes remaining unpaid, of the vari-
! Gus levies. as indicated by the arrearage
cards, and to report the same TO the Col
! lector and Auditor as the basis of debit
in the Collectors account the difference
in between the balances thus appearing
and those now carried to be considered as
arising from duplicate payments.
The Assessor says that this is practi-
cally impossible Of accomplishment With
out an additional corps of clerks, who viii
necessarily have to be engaged in such
work after the regular Office hours. other
wise the current business now demanding
the entire personnel of the Office would
be seriously impaired. It has been the
rule Of this office to report all changes in
the tax levies to the Collector OF Taxes
with a view to giving him the proper de-
bits and credits. Continuing the Asses
sor says:
The item as to reporting duplicate pay
ments in the monthly statements Of
/ changes of changes in assessments is con-
| CURED in and such action has been fol-
lowed since the matter was recently
brought to the attention OF this Office.
1T IS recommended that the report of
the Auditor be adopted, except as to the
modihca ton suggested in listing the va
rious levies at the present time"
The recommendations of the Assessor
| are COnCurTed in by the Collector Of Taxes,
and it is understood viii be approved by
| the Commissioners.

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK. March 29-The continued
demand from London and the continent re-
suited in another buoyant opening in the
local stock market. The buying centered
largely in the Pacific issues and the coal
stocks. with an improving demand for
Nashville and Atchison. Several of the To-
cal clques sold literally at the advances.
In anticipation of general reaction. Com
mission houses reported a good inquiry. but
their operations represented sales In con-
siderable volume as well.
All offerings were readily absorbed at the
decnnes' and the market lost none of its
recent characteristics. Buyers were willing
to trade on all concessions. and sellers at
the advance usually came back to their
specialties. The idea that the market has
not yet discounted its best features is gem
eral. and strong speculative condition Is
predicted for some time to come
me attempt to make the industrial list
attractive Is meeting with rather poor en-
enlargement. The Steel stocks become dulI
after very moderate buying and usuaiIv
recede under the constant dribbling of long
stock. The Sugar interview has hurt The
lnaus,1ai situation to some extent, and the
ACTIVITY In that stock resulting from Mr.
Havemeyers gloomy predictions for the
future disturbed the entire market
opening prices for the stock were made
last night. The covering OF short contracts
forced rally for a time but later offerings
OF the next dividend on 10000 shares at y
OF per cent inspired fresh selling. which
depressed the price considerably under par
The size of the short interest however re-
suited in frequent recoveries from the low
figures, but the downward tendency seemed
TIC be the most pronounced of all the move
ments.
Inc volume of the sales in Sugar was
very large, being something over 10000
SHARES during the first half of the day
The Traction shares were irregular and
represented the professional operators of
the room The effects of the Franchise tax
are being minimized by the street and there
Is growing belief that the official an
nouncement will either fall fiat or inspire
a rally.
The afternoon market reflected a CON-
tinuation of the best demand Of the morn
ing. and there were no indications of wa
vertng on the part of the commission house
contingent Prices rally easily after each
setback, and beyond the natural desire 10
take profits and the shifting of interest
from one group to another, there is no sig
nficant selling.
