quarters yesterday afternoon Of the death
in the penitentiary at Moundsville of CO.
lumbus Pearson, who was serving a life
sentence for the murder Of John L. Ford
in Georgetown the 7th of August, 1885,
The deceased was sixty-nine years old. He
was well known in police circles in this
city, although he had never been in the
penitentiary prior to his sentence for kill
ing Ford. Several times during his life he
had associated with noted local crooks,
but he always managed to keep out of
prison. On a number of occasions he ap-
peared in the role Of informer
Many years ago Pearson played an i'm
portant part in case tried at Cumberland
In which several Washington crooks at
tempted to hold up the paymaster on the
Chesapeake and Ohio canal. number Of
times, 1t is said, he gave false information
to officials regarding members OF the police
force who had been inclined to keep an eve
on him, and gave the night inspector q
large amount of unnecessary work He
was suspected of being implicated In the
attempt made to rob the old Columbia
Bank in Georgetown. Pearson. the police
state, separated from his wife several years
before the murder was committed, and
lived in house boat with his sons Later
ne hved in the house in Georgetown where
the murder was committed The elderly
man objected to Ford, who was but nine
teen years old, visiting a woman in whom
he (Fearson) was interested, and the night
OF the murder he shot, Ford through a
window His trial and conviction followed,
and 1t was only because of HIS advanced
age that he was saved from paying the
extreme penalty. Some time prior to the
commission of the crime Pearson shot
some boys who were making a noise In the
vicinity of his home.
Relatives of the dead man were notified
OF his death, but his body will probably
find resting place in the prison cemetery.

DISTRICT PLUMBING WORK
ANNUAL EsTIMHTES OF INSPECTOR
Charles n. BALL.
Increase In Appropriation for Salaries
Seven -Assistantss sNanted-som
Poor Repair Work.

The District Commissioners have received
the estimates of Char9es B. Ball. the in
spector of plumbing, for the expenses of
his Office during the fecal year 1902 1903.
In addition to his own compensation, at
5000 a year. Mr!i Bail asks for the SER
vices of seven inspectors, one at 81 400 per
apnum, increased from 81 200; two at 81 200,
increased from 81, 900 and four at 81 COO two
of the latter being additional. The schedule
also includes the services of one draughts-
man at $1,000 per annum; one messenger
at 5000 per annum two sewer tappers at
$1,000 each per amman, transferred from
the sewer division, and five members of
the plumbing board at $500 each per an
mum. The total salary list is 1910
The increase asked for my, principal as
sistant," says Mr.. Ball, sis requested in
view of the responsible duties performed
by him. consisting of the supervision of the
work during my absence, the examination
of plans for approval and the general
charge of the record system Of the divi-
sion. The request for additional compensa-
tion for the two assistants is based upon
the long period OF service of these assist
ants from 1889 to 1898. respectively. and
the fact that the present compensation Is
not commensurate with the duties and re-
spon sibilities involved, nor Is 1t equal to
salaries paid for the performance Of SINH
la; duties in other bureaus Of the District
government.
An Overseer of Plumbing.
'The draughtsman. Is estimated for in
order to provide in the regular force a per-
son who shall be competent to overlook the
design and construction Of plumbing in diff
ferent District buildings The present en-
ploye has been mainly paid from appropri-
ations for repairs to plumbing in school
houses. but it is also necessary that con-
siderable attention be given to the instal!a-
tion. under the assessment method, of sys-
TENS OF drainage in premises to which the
drainage act is compulsorily applied, the
planning OF extensions and repairs in nu-
merous District structures, and the prepa-
ration Of plans and specifications for
plumbing in new buildings. Opportunity
should be afforded for the consideration Of
Improved Appliances to be established as
standards in the District plumbing regu-
lations. These require study of the con-
structions now in vogue and the applica-
tion Of a practical draughtsmans skill in
improving upon them.
1.-The necessity for a messenger to per-
form the ordinary duties Of such an en-
ploye about this office are clearly apparent
At present officials receiving much higher
salaries are necessarily employed upon
messenger service The requested transfer
Of the sewer tappers to the list of salaries
in connection with this Office seems reason
able, in view Of the fact that they have
been detailed for service under my orders
since 1897"

ment.
