The Record in the Assessor’s Office— A Practice of Sixty-Nine Years, In an interview with Commissioner Donglass this morning relative to Mr. Harvey Spalding’s claim that the District had no right to make transfers of property he said: “Section 144 of the Revised Statutes relating to the District of Columbia provides that ‘the recorder of deeds and the register of wills shail furnish the Proper officer of the District appointed to re- ceive the same, on or about the first Monday in January and July in every year, correct lists of the transfers of real property in the city of Washington during the next preceding half- year, so far as can be ascertained by the records in their respective offices; and the District shall make to the recorder and register such compens:tion as shall be agreed upon, not ex- ceeding 6 cents for each transfer on such list.’ “Iu compliance with said law the recorder of deeds semi-annually transmits to the assessor D.C., ‘the proper officer of the District ap- pointed to receive the same,’ a book contain- ing a transcript of the fee deeds which have been recorded in his office for the prior six months, When the tax books are made yj; changes are made in accordance with the data contamed in this book of transfers. If it is found that the description contained in such transfers is faulty the office would and does re- fuse to make the tranafer, or if the office should from personal or official ‘knowledge know that @ certain reported transfer was fraudulent it would refuse to make the transfer. Instances are very rare where attempts have been made to pass a title by a person who had no segal claim. There is no other feasible plan tor making changes than the cne indicated. “Lf this office is liable to be imposed upon by fraudulent deeds why not the recorder, whose office it is to receive and record them. Whena person presents a deed for record he accepts it without subjecting the person so presenting it to an examination as to whether he owns the property or not. “Another thing, if the office shonld make fraudulent transfer the fraud would be discov- ered within six months, or when the rightful owner came to get his tax bill. He would ask for a billin kis name, and the clerk would in- form him that there was no property assessed to him. This would lead to an investigation and a discovery. The rule that the present Commissioners are acting upon has been the uniform practice since the 15th of May, 1820— sixty-nine years,” ———— DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. MUST HAVE AN AUCTIONEER’S LICENSE. Gen. Greeley ina letter to the Commis- sioners calls attention to the fact that it fre- quently happens that his office has ou banda quantity of old condemned stores, which it is desirable to dispose of at auction; the law, however, states tant the expense of the auction cannot be defrayed from the proceeds of the sale, but must be borne from the regular ap- propriation. These expenses, the general says, are usually large, and are an excessive drain upon the appropriation. As away out of the dificulty he asks if a clerk in the office can be detailed to carry on such auction without a license. As the law is explicit a regular auc- tioneer’s license will have to be taken out. BUILDING PERMITS have been issued as follows: Barr & Sanner, five brick dwellings, 589 to 547 Boundary street borthw 40,000, T. A.

Col, J.H. Rathbone,founder of the order of the Knights of Pythias, died yesterday afternoon at Lima, Ohio, where he was taken sick several | weeks ago. His two daughters were at his bedside when he passed away. Col. Rathbone was well known in this city, where he resided for a number of years, He made his home re- | cently in Alexandria, where his daughters were living when summoned to the bedside | of their dying father. The lodge of Elks in} this city, of which Mr. Rathbone was the first | exalted ruler, will take appropriate action in | regard to his death. Gen. Carnahan, the major general of the uniform ranks of tie Kuights of Pythias, has issued an order an-| nouncing the death of Col. Rathbone and di- recting that the officers and sir knights of the uniform rank wear a badge of mourning for sixty days, and that divisions drape theiz war- | rants in mourning for the same period. The interment will probably be in Utica, N. ¥., where the wife of Col. Kathbone was buried, ASKETCH OF HIS CAREER. Col. Rathbone was ason of the late Judge Rathbone of Albany, N.Y. He was in the army during the war, but settled in this city after- ward and accepted a position in the War de-| partment. Some years ago he called a number | of friends together and read to them the draft of a work for a secret order, founded on the story of Damon and Pythias, and the result was that they organized a lodge. from which has spread that large and influential order, the Kuights of Pytiias, having lodges in every state and territory andin many foreign coun- tries, He was also promiueut in the order of Elks. He was a mau of versatile talents, quite | an actor for @ uon-professional, and is the} author of a clever burlesque’ play, “Poca- hontas,” and was frequently a contributor to some of the magazines and newspapers. He | resigned his place 1n the War department some | months ago and went on a lecturing tour in | the interest of the Knights of Pythias in the | in the west. Se A Slung Shot Carrier Sentenced.

The defense, by counsel, C. M. h, was that the defendant Was so intoxicated at the time that he was uot responsible and was incapable of forming an intent to kill, and used lunguage calculated to provole a fight. A fight occurred and Brown struck Langster on th d with piece of iron pipe, severely injuring him, ——— Doesn’t Want His Sewer Tapped. Jacob Franz, by Messrs. Charles Walter, Chas. A. Walter and T. M. Fields, has filed a bill against the District Commissioners and George W. Balloch to restrain the use of sewer laid by the complainant under the direction of the bea.th otticer in 1879. The complainant states that the frm of Frany & Meixter, to which he succeeded. laid the sewer on 7th street ex- tended under the permit aud direction of the health officer in 1879 to drain his property, aud States that in October, 1859, the fendants 4 permit to Balloch to tap the sewer, and he aks that all tapping and use of the sewer by other parties be enjoined. ‘The chief justice after the conclusion of the arguments Charged the jury that, while drunkenness was not an excuse for crime, yet, in a case of this kind, where the intent was an element in the charge, they should consider the evidence as to the defendant's condition and determine if from drunkenness he was in- capable of forming the intent to take life. ‘There was no question as to the assault, which _| bridle, ‘and MeCoves | seat and laid om the sidewalk.

He is Going to Get a Divorce From His Wife. London society is gossiping over the current rumor that Col. Hughes Hallet will soon enter proceedings to obtain a divorce from his wife, who was well known in Philadelphia as the beautiful Emily Schaumbuerg until the Eng- lish political and army man became her hus- band, Thecolonel came to America in October of last year to inspect and report upon some silver mines in Mexico, owned by a London company of which he wasa member. Just be- fore leaving England he learned that he had become respsonsible for the payment of a note of £4,000, which he had indorsed for a man with whom he had held friendly relations, but who failed tomake good the note when it came due, He left in London, in charge of his busi- ness affairs the man Chandor, whom he had met at a London club a year previously, It was the understanding that Chandor and Mra, Hughes Hallett were to use their best efforts to Faise the funds to meet the obligations, and, as Mrs. Hallett is rich, she could easily have done so. After several hopeful letters one came ne ing he bad better stay in Mexico toavoid bank- ruptey proceedings. Hallett returned to Eng- land in spite of the warning, but on his arrival he was seized with a severe attack of rheu- matic gout and sailed for the Azores in March, While in London his wife did not call to see him, but as their relations had always been somewhat strained he did not feel much sur- prised, Abouta month after his arrival, however, Mrs. Bloomfield Moore wrote, telling him that she had loaned £4,000 to Chandor to liquidate his indebtedness, and on investigation he was astounded to discover that the loan had be&i made long before the time when both his wife and his secretary had written declaring that they had been unable to raise any money. His suspicions concerning Chandor were now aroused and they were strengthened early in June by the receipt of an anonymous letter in- forming him that the conduct of his wife in connection with Chandor was scandalous; that the private secretary had practically usurped his place at his London house and entertained lavishly—had a room in the house and seemed to havea strange power over Mrs. Hughes Hallett. The colonel of course returned to London at once and found immediately upon his arrival that the circumstances detailed in the anonymous letter were matters of common gossip, . At Rome, N.
