The uniforms on hand are complete sets. made for men who have been dismissed since the uniforms were ordered. The vn- expended balance on hand June 30, 1878, to be transferred to the District Commissioners is c . This is explained by the fact that the District Commissioners recently turned over to the Police Board the balance of monies to the credit of the police fund, embracing seve- ral thousand dollars of accretions from the Sums withheld by them forthe repairsand fur- nishing of station houses from time to time. ‘The force at present is full,and has been so since it was ascertained that th would be funds enough to meet the expenses NATIONAL F. ed meeting of ttona!

No | other application was made to the board for | relief from this fund, and no other money was paid from it. 3. The resignation of the secretary and his appeintment as property clerk was in etfect ly a transfer from one pay roll to another. For many mouths Major Curtis has discharged the duties of both offices, but drew only pay as secretary, A doubt existed as to whether the abolition of the board did not carry with | it the seeretaryship, whilst that officer” would necessarily have for some days or weeks to continue the performance of duty. There was nocoubt_ as to continuance of the property clerk. The salaries of the two offices were the same—one man filled both, drawing but one pay—and until the new goverament ex- pressed its wishes by removal or continuance of the present incumbent, the board protected his comp ion by vaeaiiay the salary of see. retary and filling the office of property clerk upon the agreed condition that Major Curtis should continue to perform the duties of both ollicesat but one salary, until the new Com- missioners otherwise directed.

Another meeting of the board investigating the charges preferred against Dr. Murphy, surgeon in charge of the Columbia hospital for women, was held last bight. Miss Mourske, a former nurse in the hospital, who prefers a series of charges, was not present. There Were no accusing witnesses present. It was announced that if any one present desired to testify to any mismanagement or abuse in the hospital they would be heard. No one respond- ed. The changes examined into last evening were, that after delicate examinations pa tients are compelled to return to their rooms, to go down to their meals, &c., and are never permitted to lie down, which is contrary to established hospital rules; that the surgeon- in-charge pays only one visit to the wards in each twenty-four hours, does not give a suf ficient amount of time to his visits, and is cross, rude, and profane, and that the food is poor and often not suitably cooked. Some ten. or twelve witnesses were examined as to the truthfulness of these charges. They were e: ienis, employes of the hospit Cragin, of Georgetown, a membe board of visitors to the hospital.

There are now at their wharves, foot of 12th and 13th streets southwest, discharging, four large cargoes of coal and four cargoes of wood. They hold bills of lading for ten other cargoes now on the way. Hence, business has been very lively around their wharves for the last ten days.

Much fear was entertained for the house and feed store of Mr. Lee, and those of Captain God- dard adjoining, the back fence of which caught fire. It is conceded by all that the firemen Cengines No.1 and 6 being present) did ex- ceedingly well to confine the fire to the build- ings in which it originated. No live stock was injured, but a large stock of hay and some corn, also some ae implements, were lost. The total estimated loss is $2,500; insurance $30. Cause of fire unknown.
