ADRIFT IN THE SToRM.—Yesterday after- poon, Mr. A. K. Browne. with four of his chil- ‘pren, the eldest a daughter about 15 years old, went ont in a smail row boat from the S-street wharf southeast, to amuse themselves by fish- ing. Mr. B. rowed over to a <‘one pier built up during the war for the purpose of experiment- ing with heavy ordnance, and taking position, all proceeded to enjoy themselves at angling. So intent were they on the sport that théy dd not observe the storm coming up until it burst upon them. The wind and rain alarmed the children very much, and the first thought was to return to the wharf, but the waves were run- ning pretty high, and Mr. B. thought the safest plan would be to make fast to the wall and ali bands climb up and find shelter the best they could. On attempt! however, to Go so, the sentinel on duty denied ‘them the privilege of landing. ‘They next attempted to return to the poiut from whence they embarked, and after pulling against wind and tide found they were floating The wind by this time blew fect hurricane, therain falling in t and the boat becoming unmanageable, a! conld do was to keep her from capsizing. children were terrified, and called out for help, ard their condition sppears to have finally at- tracted the Of persons op the north side of the branc boat was lannched by a young man name: ms and some com pani and they put ont towat ing the worst of the storm. aken they bad floated ashore near Hiesboro Point, drenched with rain and with- out any shelter.

The men, however, remained about the work, watching the contractors and bosses, who took the shovels and commenced the work. Tbe police officers remained on the ground to keep erder. —- THE VeTerays or THe Me: last night at 1115 Peonsylvania avenue, tor the purpose cf completing arrangements for the celebration of the auniversary of the capture of the city of Mexico.

Mr. Peter Campbell, chairman of the com- mission, was called on, avd stated that as sach he bad received @ communication from the Commissioners of the District adverse to the erection of the market. He was present to answer questions, and befor peg farther he would state that the failure to erect the market-house was not chargable to the com- mission nor the contractor. The commission had done all in their power, and after entering into @ contract tuey waited on the Governor (Cooke) and urged that the bonds be negotiated, but they were put off from time to time. They finally asked that the contractor ba allowed to take the bonds at 90 cents in the dollar, which he bad agreed to do, but the Governor declined, alleging that it was too low a price. These bonds were 7 cent. bonds, and about the same time the Governor negotiated the bonds of the Board of Public Works, 8 per cent., for §7 cents. The contractor then said if they would guarantee that he should be paid, he would go on, but he could get no such guarantee. Gov- ernor Shepherd did not meet the commiss.on, but he would not — that it was tor want of interest. Governor Shepherd recognized the necessity for the market. He thought that the Commissioners of the District had not posses- sion of all the facts when they made their reply to the committee. Mr. W. A. Cook said that although by Jaw all appropriations lapsed after fifteen months, it was very doubtfal if this contract was affected. This was valid at least until the 1st of October. The Commussioners claim that because but a ‘mall portion of the work can be done before October Ist RH justified in leaving the matter where it He claimed that although but little time remained @ considerable portion of the work could be done and the bonds could be legally issued, as the contract is in forca and the ee, will not lapse until October, as the Commissioners claim it must. He favored he pre- And the Co it made that the issue of the bonds would increass debt was an erroneous one, for was not altogether ho, Commissioners the day after the interview had acknowledged that the market people had made @ strong case. fe therefore thought that it would be well to wait on them again. Judge Moore said that it was well known that of bonds had been ne; some being held by the trustees of the are gallery, sng we gictnd py chased and’ dedicated to pt Every citizen has an equitable interest in the square. He claimed that the Commissioner: were bound by the bargain of their predeces- sors, and the policy of the citizens should be to get some one to goon with the work—tell the contractor to goon with it. And the Commis- sioners may attempt to stop it, and then the ken to court. He had no fears. He claimed that the market commissioners had full power to go on with the work, and hoped they would proceed. He denied that there was any lapsing of the attention to the fact it property had been purchased in anticipation of the erection of the —- and the assessors had doubled the val- uation. Mr. Lemon asked if there was anything in the contract as tothe time for the completion of the work. Mr. Campbell Sy ong that there was a limi- tation, which had nm extended. Mr. Cook asked if a sufficient amount of money could not be raised by subscription to induce the contractor to go on. He believed that an active committee could secure pledges to take the bonds at 90 cents. Mr. Lemon stated that a gentleman had invested $60,000 in the neighborhood where he understood that the market was to be built, and that gentleman he had no doubt would contribute towards the market. He moved that acommittee be appointed in accordance with the suggestion of Col. Cook; adopted, and the following were be naga as the committee: Charles Lemon, John C. Parker, R. W. Fen- wick, Joseph Prather, Albert Gleason, Wm. H. Hoover Bow, that Mr. W. H. Hoover had already $1 subscriptions. Mr. J. K. Cassin moved that a committee of five be appointed to wait on the District Com- make additional suggestions and tions relative to the market, which adopted, and Judge Moore, Col.’ Cook, +4 sears. Peter Campbell, R. W. Fenwick and . Hall were appointed. A letter was received from Judge Ingersoll regretting his inabil be present, but advising those interested, if they found they were right, to go ahead and build the market, and rely on the law in the cass to secure the payment of the contractors.
