About haif-past one o'clock one morning this Week a telephone message was sent to one of the police stations from one of the hotels of the city informing the police that a burglar had been captured, and was held for them. Three officers were sent to the hotel, and the sup- posed burglar, who is a clerk in the Treasury department, was found covered with blood, 1 suffering from the severe beating he had received at the hands of the oceupant of the room he had entered. ‘The clerk was arrested and escorted to the station-house, but was re- leased after a satisfactory explanation. It peared that the clerk and a well-known base ball player had become acquainted that night in a saloon, and during the evening they drank her. Being under the influence of liquor the clerk went with his friend to the hotel and went to bed. The base ball player locked the door and put the key in his pocket when they gntered. and they both went to sleep. Shortly after one o'clock the clerk thought he woul leave the hotel and xo tohis own room. He zot up, dressed himself, and, finding the door | locked, went out on the balcony through the | Window. After going around the balcony and finding no way of getting to the ground, he eS re back to his room. He, however,’ en- ed the wrong window, and got into the room ofa three hundred pound man, who was awak- ened by his trying to get through the door. Suspecting the intruder to have evil intentions, the surprised inmate of the room sprang front his bed, catching the clerk by the throat fave huim a severe thrashing. Afler being re- eased the clerk washed the blood from his head and started for home, thinking he had been badly treated. Ss The city Markets.

The gift by Judge Pacificus Ord to the city of twenty-five acres of land along Roek Creek, to be used for a zoological garden and a place for baths, was mentioned in THESTaR a few days ago, and this action has served to direct atten- tion to that portion of the city suburbs. Judge Ord is @ brother of Gen. Ord, of the regular army, who died some time ago in Mexico, and while he has been a resident of the District for Years, he still retains his country home in Vir- ginia. He is now advanced in years, but he re- members, when a boy, that he was accustomed 1 go to bathe in Rock creek, at Adams’ mills, which is located on Rock creek, north of where the Woodbury Lane road crosses the stream. ‘This mill is one of the oldest structures in this vicinity, and in order to secure for it the neces- sary water power a dam was constructed across the creek at this point. On this account it was. a favorite place for bathing, and being in @ re- tired spot, although some distance trom the elty, the boys were in the habit of goi: ne therein great numbers,and on warm summer days they inay be still found enjoying a bath at this place, Asarule the boys Keptalong the ereck from the P-street bridge when they wanted to reach this bathing ace and at the same time they could fish and indulge in other pastimes that arunning stream of water always suggests to the youthful mind, But perhaps ‘the shortest Way to reach itis by the Columbia road to the Jane which rans along the northern limit of the Little place down past the Young Men's Baptist bu ng sreand ‘his road was used when the was in operation to bring the grain to be ground and for the heavily faden w ns Te- turning with the sacks of flour and meal. PURCHASED BY MHS, MYRA OLARK GAINES. About the time the war broke out this prop- erty was purchased by Mrs. Myra Clark Gaines, the famous New Orleans litigant, and for some time it was used as a hair and mattress factory, In recent years the mill has not been used, and some two years ago Judge Ord purchased the Property from Mrs. Gaines. In addition to the mill, the property includes a rather narrow strip of land, which bends in with a deepeurve of the creek at this eins. and then extends a little distance on the north side of the curve. On the opposite side of the creek is como prop. erty held by the French belrs, ana Mr. J. W. P. Myers, who has acted us the agent of Judge Ord in this matter, says that the latter wished to buy a strip of this land, so as to present to the city the land on both sides of the creek at this jay but he was unable to get it at a reasona- ie figure. Like all the Jand in the vicinity of Rock creek, this portion is tmeven and thiekly wooded. It is situated at the extreme end of what would probably be the northern termination of the park, should the government ever carry into effect the plan that has been much discussed of making the valley of Rock creek a public park. There has already been started a movement to secure the ground fora driveway along the creek, and the proprietors of the land, it is said, are willing to donate the ground tor such a pur- pose. The subdivision of Lanier heights e: tends down to the creek, just north of the ground included in the gift of Judge Ord, and a number of handsome cottages are to be erected there next spring. ‘A PICTURESQUE VALLEY, The picturesque features of the scenery of Rock Creek valley have attracted those fond of country residences to that locality ever since Washington was a city,and there are many fine places, which in former years were the homes of prominent and wealty citizens. See- retary Whitney's recent purchase of a country residence in that locality is in accordance with acustom followed in the early yearsof the city, when nearly every one that Could afford it owned a place in the country. The et ‘ion: ofthe new naval observatory’ building, a site for which has already been chosen in’ this 1o- cality, will give an impetus tothe movement which will result in retaining for all time the beautiful valley of Rock creek as one of the most attractive suburban resorts of the national capital. PROPOSED USES OF THE VALLEY. Various projects have been proposed for the use of the whole or portions of the Rock creek valley within the District which might if ap- proved antagonize the purpose of Judge Ora’s donation to the District. The plan of establish- ing a grand park and zoological garden 1 Rock creek originated with Gen. Sifchle in 1869 in a rep gress ad- tages the tractot land along Rock creek presented for this purpose. The extension of the water works, it is thought, may interfere With this sch 's report to the District Com- Tn Capt. Hoxie missfouers for 1880 he suggested the possible conversion of the steep rocky valley of Rock creek into a great reservoirat some future time. In bis report tor 1881 Capt. Hoxie reverted to this subject and said, speaking of the proposed eser “Tt will De a beautiful luke of 2,000 acres with rock: shores and promontories’ Jut- ry direction.

Correspondence of Tus EVENTING STAR, Fauis CHURCH, Va., Jan. 21st, ‘This community has had a very thorough waking up, if appearances and utterances are to be relied on. And what fs true of this locality is doubtless true ol the entire state. The occa- ‘sion and cause, as I may fitly state, are found im the posting up at the postoffices, or other places of public frequency of a list of delinquent taxes not relating to the current period, but to a perlod dating from 1865 to 1883 inclusive. This list apparently is long and complete enough, almost to include every resident, or land owner in each county of the state. Here this list was dup on the 19th inst, and the interested are notified that the taxes must be puid, or a receipt be presented before the Ist day of February prox., or the lands willbe sold for the taxes. It will be seen that the time is ex- ceedingly short to hunt up receipts for 18 years. So,that on th ofthe state this pi ling is in the na: Inone sense at least, of a “snap judgment.” Such a ing, Loo, It will be Seen ata glance, 1s all the more unreasonable aud unjustifiable trom the facts, which it un- grringly suggests, to wit: a propetly punishable ereliction of duty on the part of the legislature and executive authorities of the — state, and the same, 10 8 very considerable ‘on o county treas- trem of the state aa the,causo of the dolla: quences, if they arereal. The law in relation to the assessment of the value of the lands, and of the taxes and for the collection of the same, 4s.a very imperfect, mixed up thing I am told. {n truth, this is substantially what is to be said of the enti-e statutes of thestate. The want of Slearness of statement in ser aes and eee stitution of ambi; ‘confusion is clear! ributable to the purpose to make of Virginia, @ lawyer ridden commonwealth, CITIZENS INDIGNANT. No one need to be told what the effect of the appearance of this delinquent tax list has been; that it has distressingly disturbed the people, and that they talkin the streets and public places indignantly und bitterly. It is said that the sum total of the list will te in the county $50,000, and in the state an amount sufficient to pay the state debt. This very prob- ably is an exaggerated statement, but one thing iscertain that the people cannoi possibly pay these taxes at the date required, nor ii one year, without great distress to the greater part of them. ‘But how comes this enormousdelinquent list? The people know but little about the affairs of thelr state, and the little they think they know is only a’ cloudy vague conception of some- thing, right or wrong, as the particular matter may be. It is in no sense knowledge, as the term signifies. This ill-advised purpose to col- lect this large amount of delinquent taxes will possibly have one good restilt, open the eyes of the mass of the people to the "character of the management of thelr affairs by their political leaders and the high functionaries of the gov- ernmentand their subordinates, down to the county treasurers. If this really takes place the good will overbalance all the evil exposed, WHAT PEOPLE SAY. The people say that much of it results from the fact that some of the county treasurers have collected the tax and putit in their own pockets, returning the land delinquent, But this would be righted if the tax law was constructed to se- cure the prompt collection of the taxes. Lands are returned delinquent frequently without good cause. Then itis said the law Is so defec- live that the treasurers cannot sell the land to ay the taxes. ILis said further that when the jand is returned delinquent it Is reported to the state auditor, and then that the delinquency disappears from the treasurer's books, and the land too. Ofcourse, if the owner comes up af terwards to pay taxes the land may get on the treasurer's booksagain. It would be very likely to ifsold to some person, ‘The report has been in circulation for years that there was on the state auditor's books a large amount of land in the state that paid no taxes, and the legislature has, with reprehensible neglect, allowed this Condilion of things to remain. for'a long period, It isa matter of trequent mention that a recent legislature relieved from defatcation some forty or fifty county treasurers. What the troth is precisely regarding the reports here stated I am unable Lo suy. Lastly, froin whatthislong lst of so-called de- linquent tax payers clearly Indicates, itisshown that the legislative and executive branches of government have been guilty of malfeasance and bad management in their different posi- tions. ‘Their action is a disgrace to the state, Lam tid in former years land was put up at auction to pay the deliuquent taxes, but the bidders soon found that the law did not provide for arepaymentoftheir money with the penalty, nor for a conveyance of the lands to thein, AS @ consequence the presence of bidders at the sales ceased. This matter must be placed be- yond doubt in the new law. Bat if the col- lection of these so-called delinquent taxes ts to be persisted in, the dumage to the state will be incaleulavie. Outsiders will give the state a wide berth; immigration to the state, its de- pendence for prosperity, will entirely ee Tremxa Sam Dusrases INSTANTLY RELIEVED BY CUTICURA.
