The contin- tion of the thirty-six inch main, which brovgh M Jersey avenue, along the former avenue to vd Or ith streets east, is arged as & means of | relief. The water officers state that placing astop- cock in the braneh of the Sé-ineh main at the intersection of Massachusetts and New J sey avenues, did not decrease the supply. as published, althowgh it was a faiiure. The only reason for the decrease of pressure in the locality named is in consequence of the extension ‘of some ( miles of water pipe: and the supply of some 4.000 houses addi- tiona] since the 36-inch main was laid in L. street. The only permanent means of reli for this difficulty is to | ase the supy at founiain head = AN INTERESTING Bank CASE DECID! ‘The case of Wim. E.

The fire originated from | a defective fue. and had so far advance! be- fore discovered that all efforts to save it were futile.

Mr. William A. Potter, supervising archi- dated October Mth, 195, to the commis- sloners for the new jail for the District of of Columbia: “I have the honor to submit the following report on the progress and present condition | of the work on the new jail for the District of Columbia, with recommendations, to Phich I respectfully invite your attention. On entering upon my duties as supervising architect last January, I found that the ex- terior walls of the center and south wings had been carried up to the top, of arch stones of circular windows, and a smail portion of the lighter stones of the main cornice of south wing bad been set; the exterior walis of north wing were up to springing of arches of windows, 21 feet below top of main cornice. The brick work of the cells of the south wing Was carried up to the ceilings of fourth tler, With tbe exception of a considerable portion of one side and end of the third and fourtt: tiers, which could not be continued for the Wantof flags and landings. The brick piers of celis of north prison were up to the spring- ing, ready to receive brick arches for floor of first tier of cells. The pi 88 of the bu and considera! ely to ensue, owing to the want of JONES FOR THE MAIN CORNICE ng, the supervising inspector of of this office was instructed to pro- } to the Seneca quarries and report as to ot obtaining the large stones he reported that it was ve ie, if not impossible that the con ors Would be aple to obtain the large s€8 for the cornice, and r that in order to complete the built year the proposal & Co. to furnish t sas At the same rate, instead of th Ser arry, be accepted. The facts iu the case Were subraitted to your board, who authorized me to enter into asupplemen tary contract with Messrs. MA. MeGowan & Co., to farnish the large stones from the Manassas quarry. S nto on the 4th day of Mareh, 1575, aad » stippiied all the stone to complete the building, with the exception of a few of the largest for the cornice on the rt prison wing. I believe that the few remaining stones for the cornice will be furs nished before the 20th day of the present mnenth, whieh will complete Messrs. M. A McGowan & Co.'s contract.

Brooss, a col- ored watebman in th xth Auditor's office, ed at the office of R. H. Ward, & real es- tale agent. and negotiated for a loan of 3600 ob property on N sireet, between Mth and Ith. He stated that there was already a deed on the pro perty and left the papers for exami Mr. Ward found that one of the ceeds of release was in the name of Jas. F. Russel, trustee, (of the firm Russel and Feehtz), ard purported to have been ac- krowledged before R. A. Hyde, a justice of Mr. Ward knowing that Russel Was in the habit of acknowledging sreh ir- struments before Mr. Faebtz, a notary pub- le. suspicioned that something was Wrong, and immediately informed Mr. Russel, who, on seeing the paper, pronounced the signa- tore a forgery, and on going to the Recorder of Deeds office, found that the deed in_ques- Mr. Russel procured a warrant for the arrest of Brooks, #nd when he called to receive the loan he space for an and appropriations r | was taken into custody by @ detective. It *#ppears that the bogus deed of release was used to induce FE. J. Sweet and Mr. J. Stan- ley Jones to loan 3,500 on the property on | which Brooks executed a deed of trust. Yes- terday, as stated above, he attempted to raise #600 more. Brooks denies the forgery, | but admits that he paid #20 to a party for executing the Russel release. —e—— BALTIMORE SNEAK THIEVES ARRESTED. On the 18th instant three men went to the hote! of G. W. Strouss, No. 61 South Charles street, (the Bundes House, Baltimore,) and Stated Loat they wished to engage board for a day or two. They were ass! quarters: in an ug) sl the establishment, but left in the evening of the same day. Simul- taneously with their departure a boarder missed $35 In currency, two 20-franc and one 5 frane pieces, a black frock coat, and a pair of pantaloons. Information of the robbery was left at police headquarters. Deput Marshal Frey telegrapbed to Major Richards to keep a sharp lookout for the men, and as @ consequence the detectives were put upon the alert. Yesterday they were found at the Gerhardt House, on 4% street, by Detectives ‘eDevitt and McEl: » and were at once taken invo custody, and notice given to the Baltimore authorities of the capture. Detec- tive T. B. Hail at once came over, with an attache of the Bundes House, who, on being brought into the presence of the thieves, identified them. They gave their names as Victor Huffman, Philemon Flack, and Geo. Lambe. A portion of the stolen goots was recovered from them. They left last evening in the 7 o'clock train for Baltimore, in charge of Detective Ha! a a MAGISTRATES’ Bonps. — Eiliéor Star:—A Paragraph in your local columns, yester- day's issue, stdtes that I “called the atten- tion of the Court in General Term to the Subject of magistrates’ bonds,” and it was onders: that I claimed “that the bonds require approval of that court.” This is ‘an error; I neither called the attention of the Supreme Court in General Term to the sub- Ject, por de I hold the opinion attributed to me.
