In every twenty-four hours twenty-five million gallons of Poto mac water are nsed in these cities, which gives ore hundred and si ive gallons daily to each inbabitar This estimate thould be redueed, owing to the fact that during €ach 24 hours, 6.50,000 gallons are corsume.! in the government departmer Congress annual! basis of taxation, nt.

McDevitt and McElfresh, of this city. For audacity it s anything in the thieving line Known hereabouts for some time. It seems that since the season open: this year at Long Branch, Messrs Presbrey & Hildreth, proprietors of the West Ead Ho- tel, bave been missing many articles of value, and notwithstanding the closest watch has been kept, they were unable to discover the leak. Carpets, bedclothing, table linen, silverware, catlery, &c., in quantities, have mysteriously disappeared, and even the de~ tective officer could not account for it, until one day last he discovered one of the colored servants carrying out some linen, and followed her to a small house where two of the colored female help had a room, and here he found about $150 worth of the miss- ing articles stored. The two women, named Mary Patterson and Ann Matthews, were taken into custody then and locked up. Tils led tosuspicions that several others of the colored servants were implicated, and as the whole corps of colored servants were em- ployed from Washington, Detective Dunne telegraphed to the detectives here, giving « lst of the names of the suspected’ serva >, all of whom have families residing in this city. Mr. Dunne followed on here at ore. and during the past two days the officers together have been searching the premises of the parties. The result is that they have re covered about $300 worth of the stolen prop- erty in this city, consisting of carpets, bat clothing and table linen, &c, &¢., ani nearly every single plece ‘of ‘which bears the letters In indelible ink “West E hotel.” At the express office in tuls city they found three means baskets closely cked with fine table linen, silverware jewelry and other articles which have been missed by guests of thathotel. As fast as there goods were discovered in the various houses here the offic rs have tel graphed fact to Long Pranch. giving the name of parties to be arrested (bere, and in this way yesterday and the day before the officers at Long Branch arrested Strong Robinson Mary Thomas, John Matthews, John R and Mcoten Marshal hotel, and they c thews is the h self-constituted } services for t Sundays, thn €ts of linen goods was found a and some small e lua purse which hat been lost some time since by a lady guest; alo some earrings, bracelets, &e.
