The water supply of the city and the propér method of increasing it has been a topic of long chapters in ¢fficial reports for several years Past, and is now a matter of interest to the public in view of the scarcity of water and the Te, statement by the water registrar that “unless something is done soon to increase the water supply we are likely to have a water famine here such as is now being experienced by the city of Richmond. Va.” Water trar Cox, in defending his office, lays the bjame upon Congress for not providing the means for continuing the work on the dam, at the Great Falls, so as to extend it across the river. In order to obtain the proper level of water at the dam now spanning the Stream from the Maryland side to Conn’s island, temporary dams have been built joining Conn’s island with the smaller islands upstream. By continuing these temporary works from time to time, the level or “head” of the water can be bay at the proper height. Speaking of THE UNFINISHED DAM at the Washington Aqueduct, Col. Casey, in his last annual report on the aqueduct, says: “In its present condition it does not, for nearly three-quarters of the year, give a sufficient depth of water at the head of the conduit to maintain the flow lines of the reservoirs at the desired levels. “It is absolutely 1 that the dam shall be continued across the river 80 as to place under our control a depth of water in the pool, above the dam, sufficient to furnish to the city the quantity of’ water it re- quires, which quantity is increasing rapidly eas yearto year.” At the present time owing 1o THE PROTRACTED DROUGHT, the river is ney low, and the supply coming into the city is so inadequate that Water Registrar | Cox will not allow water to be pumped into the stand pipe at the usual level. Persons living in the northern and eastern sections of the city have suffered especially from the insufficient supply. Asameansof husbanding the supply, Col. Rockwell, commissioner of public buildings and grounds, has stopped the twenty-one fountains under his control, allowing them to run only two hours out of the twenty-four. CONSUMPTION OF WATER BY PUBLIC FOUNTAINS. As the consumption of these fountains when running twenty-four hours was nearly 1,300,000 gallons daily, over a million gallons are saved daily by this economical measure. “We think we can already see the difference,” said Water Registrar Cox to-day, ‘‘in the increased pressure throughout the city.” The two fountains at the Treasury department—the one at the north front and the one west of the Treasury by the steps leading into the White House grounds— were shut down to-day. The fountain in the reservation in front of the Center market, under the control of the District Commissioners, was running to-day. PRIVATE FOUNTAINS, The water registrar has sent out notices to a number of people who have fountains on their private grounds, that they must stop the foun- tains or have their water shut off altogether. At such a time, he says, no such lavish use of water can be allowed. It is stated at the water Tegistrar’s office that a great deal of water is wasted by the free use of hose in the Capitol grounds. The other public fountains in the city, not mentioned, and which are , are the one in the Agricultural grounds, one in the Botanical Gardens, one at the carp ponds, one at the navy yard, one at the arsenal, and one in the grotto at the Capitol. At the carp pond a four- inch pipe is running constantly, making an enormous draught on the mains. Acknowledgments, ‘Wasurneton, D. C., 7th May, 1881.

DENIAL OF THE CHARGES MADE AGAINST HIM BY HIS WIFE. It was mentioned in Tar Star yesterday that ex-Minister Christiancy had returned to New York from Peru, where he has been since 1877. The New York Star says:—‘“‘The minister is a good-lool old man, very gray, but of a hearty manner, does not seem to have been Lari broken down by the domestic difficulties whicl have assailed him since he chose h's young wife from the clerks in the Treasury de| ent.” The same paper prints the following interview with him in reference to the pending divorce case: “Can you tell me something relative to the divorce suit now pending in Washington ?” asked the reporter, Mr. Christiancy looked up suddenly, with an expression of great vexation. and replied: “I don't know anything about it.” “There has been some very sensational evi- dence taken in the case een oe “T don’t know anything about it,” he replied. “I did not even know there had been any refer- ence at all in the case, and know nothing of any recent evidence.” “ Tt was very sensational—” Here the old gentleman stopped the reporter and said: “I do not wish to have it repeated tome. I can make no reply on hear-say evidence, and may haye to put in a reply under oath when I know exactly what has been sworn to about me by that woman.” “Do you know nothing of what evidence has been produced ?” “I do not,” hé replied sharply. “I have heard almost absolutely nothing of the case since the end of last year, and do not feel in a position to contradict the evidence. I thought,” he con- tinued, ‘that I had made arrangements to secure a full statement, but they failed, and I have had almost no information except such as I have gleaned from chance papers, often bought even on the streets.” “Then you have nothing to sayin regard to the a which Mrs. Christiancy has pro- luced ?” “I will say this,” said Mr. Christiancy, with emphasis, “I will say that every charge ever made against me by this woman, so far as I know them, has been based on falsehood and jury, and has not even a foundation infact. If could haye been here I could have disproved every one of them by competent witnesses on the spot. Lasked for leave of absence princi- pally on this account, and it was granted in the usual course, but with the proviso that it was not to go into effect while the Peruvian war continued and the affairs ef Chili and Peru re- mained in the complicated condition in which they were. My duty to the government was of course paramount, and I remained. I will re- peat, however, positively that all the evidence against me, so far as I have heard it, is falseand perjured.” eee (Communicated.} A Prediction Fulfilled. When a little over four years ago we took occasion to notice the inauguration in our midst of the Washington Beneficial Endowment Asso- ciation, we predicted for ita long and honorable career of great usefulness. Little, however, did we suppose that in the short time that has transpired it would attainto the large dimen- sions it has now reached. One thing we presume that has favored this rapid and solid growth was the almost total lack of confidence the publichad in the ordinary system of life insurance. Not but what there were and are still good and sound companies in existtnce, but the reckless and criminal mis- snegement of so many companies caused such a panic that few knew where to put their trust. Small wonder then that the fonnders of the Washington Beneficial Endowment Association should have got so warm a welcome and so hearty a response when they launched their bark 80 opportunely. If there is any one thing more than another that is completely under the domain of science it is that of life insurancé. Intelligent actuaries can tell you to a fraction how many deaths m: be expected out of a given number of indiyid- uals in any given year, and they can tell you to @ cent how much must be charged to cover the cost of insurance. We have seen it asserted, and believe it to be true, that no insurance company ever failed in consequence of having a heavier mortality rate than had been anticipated and provided for. ‘The cause of failure can always be traced to ignorant or dishonorable and dishonest manage- ment; hence the necessity of knowing well the character and reputation of the men who engage in any undertaking of this kind. Knowing as we did the character and reputa- tion of the organizers of the Washington Bene- ficial Endowment Association, it requifed but a small amount of prophetic vision to predict their success. Slow and sure was and is their motto, and slowly and surely have they gone to work and laid a foundation solid as granite, upon which they are now building a grand superstructure. For over two years they have been giving 4,000 of insurance. They are now forming an additional class for $3,000. After its formation, they will be able to give $7,000 of insurance. | The next class which they will form will be for $5,000, and they will then be able to give 12,000 of insurance, and for a sum so small that it is almost a shame that any one should go for another hour without making some provision for those they may leave behind them. i ding a permanent home for the Asso- at 911 F street, the trustees have shown great foresight and business tact. The ground and building thereon have ¢ $15,000, which when invested in U.S. bonds yielded $606. They rent out a portion of the building for $500a year, and by simply charging themselves $100 a year rent for their own very commodious office, they get as much interest for their money as if it were invested in U.S. bonds. a A District Government Affairs. Major J. W. Powell, director of the U. S. Geological Survey, Department of the Interior, has addressed a request to the District Commis- sioners for permission to lower the curb at the entrance to the stable attached to that office, corner of 8th and G streets, to the level of the roadway. The District Commissioners have forwarded to Mr. Geo. A. Caswell, commissioner and intendant of the Washington asylum, a copy of the report of the chief of police in reference to the charges made in a morning paper of improper treatment of Julian Smith. The chief of police says “that the commissioner not being at tis asylum at the time this affair occurred, I failto see the least ar of a cause for complaint against that officer.” THE ASPHALT PAVEMENT CONTRACT MUDDLE. Messrs. Wm. Fletcher, sr., and John Webster, sureties to Messrs. Bailey & Fletcher, the failing contractors for the asphalt pavements, were before Commissioner Dent and Lieut. Greene this’ morning, in answer to notice, with their counsel, Col. Christy, and a hearing of the case was After considerable discussion, during which several suggestions were submitted by Seth sides, an adjournment was made until 1 o'clock. At the meeting this afternoon Com- missioner Dent stated that owing to unforeseen complications, which haye arisen, it is neces- sary to me the further consideration of the work on the three contracts until the return of both Major Morgan and Major gee SENT TO THE WorKHOUSE UNTIL He Gets His GOVERNMENT PosITION.—A young white man named Joseph Prussian was put on trial in the Police Court this morning for being a “suspi- cious person, a person of evil life and fame, and having no fixed place of residence, and unable to give a good account of himself.” He emerged from the dock with a large satchel in his hand, which he deposited on the floor beside him, and braced himself against the side of the dock. He was dressed in dark pants, and a sack coat of alighter material, which was about a foot too short, and he had somewhat the ap) ofa countryman. Policeman Cotter, of the first pre- cinct, testified that he found this man in Armory square asleep last night, with the satchel in his ‘The October Celebration Here.
