That Mr. Corcoran “made a virtual dona- tion of the ground for the speci market.,” That gentle pived, as a consid- eration, a $100,000 District bond, ' bearing in- terest, and this bond has to be paid by the Dis- trict. That Mr. C. presented the bond to the Art Gallery does not relieve the District trom its payment. \ There was no donatio: 2. It is not true that “the site was by the terms of its purchase, dedicated to market pur- id the public faith was solemnly c. Mr. Corcoran’s deed is of record: Mable in It about, the purpose. an ordinary deed in fee, without any re- striction. The solenin pledge exists nowhere except in the imagination of the gentlemen who drew the petition. 3, not true that real estate near by has been “assessed taxation at a greatly en- hanced price” on account of the Intention to build a market there, orto create a fund to build one. Tt has been assessed on the same principle with other real estate, at its supposed value. 4. It is not true that “the location is the most eligible and convenient. that can be found,” not being equal in any respect. to a location two squares farther west and about as many farther north. To citizens east and south of it. it is more convenient to go to the Letter market on K street; to citizens north of it, it is quite as cheap to take the horse cars to the Washington market. A market at Boundary street, on 7Lh, would do more business.

FIRE AND Loss or LiFE.—A disastrous tire Saw the old year die in this place.

A distressing incident connected with the fire was the burning to death of Joseph S. Torrey, aman about years of age, whom Mr. Dyer allowe: tosleep in the shop and eupoyed him for odd jobs. It was not known that any one was in the butiding until Mr. Dyer arrived and stated tothe firemen that F slept in the shop, and that he wi ad not gouten out because he was not to be seen about the ps ses.

Drew took him out from the tire to. Shi fer’s boarding-house, near by. The coroner wi!! hold an fuquest to-morrow at 11 o'clock. It is thought that the fire originated in or near the stable, in the rear, which was also consumed. and Is supposed to have been the work of an in. cendiary. ‘The loss, including machinery, tools, and stock, will aggregate about $5,000, upou which there is no insurance.
