The board of assessors appointed under the act of March 3, 1891, to make the triennial as- sessment of real property for purposes of tax- ation in the District of Columbia beg leave, in compliance with the act of April 28, 1892, to make return heréwith to your honorable of such assessments made by them in that part of the said District ‘outside of Washington and wn." In so doing they desire to state that the as- sessed value given in each case is in their judg- ment the true intrinsic value and not the com- meroial nor the market nor the speculativ. nor the extrinsic value. It is that true value which, in our opinion, the law intends ase basis "for taxation, and which ‘may also be basis for loan or other business transactions. We have endeavored to make all such assees- mente not only just in themselvos, but ae rela- tively just, one to another, as the limited time permitted us would allow.

Mayo & Bro. of Richmond, ‘Lhis is the last cargo that will be shipped from Winsbip’s wharf this season, as all the coal on hand and that which is to come before the canal shuts down will be needed to supply the local demand, which is at present very large. As boating in cold weather is very hard many of the captains have laid off until good weather wets in, and this has, of course, cut short Georgetown’s supply of coal. Telegrams from Cumberland state that the number of Loats now plring is insufficient to carry away the coal mined, and that which would come to Georgetown is now being sent by rail to Baltimore. Yesterday the canal boat which a few days ‘ago was seriously injured by being passed too rapidly through the outlet lock at the mouth of Rock creek after being repaired was once more put to work.

It was agreed that the new desks be ordered.

The post office inspectors throughout the country have been furnished with a description | of Wilbur Dunbar and instracted to secure hia arrest for violating the postal laws. Dunbar was here during the Knight Templar conclave | in 1859 and opened an office in the National Savings Bank building, 15th street and New York avenue, as “the compiler and publisher of Dunbar's Knight Templar Conclave Journ He induced a number, mostly New Yorkers and Californians, to furnish photographs and biographies for the work and subscribe for the book, making «cash payment therefor, and in | this way, itis wnid, he did quite a large busi- | ness, After the conclusion of the conclave he wrote to a number offering big inducements to it is needless to say the book bas not appeared and the acheme was a swindle, while Dunbar is as far as known at large. scaitet tS Six Months tn Jail. William Broadus, a colored man who is from Anné Arundel county, and who is now in the oyster business in South | Washington, appeared in the Police Court yesterday and accused William Taylor of theft. According to Taylor's story he was on his way up the city to purchase some oyster boxes and he had in his pocket a $5 bill. When he reached the park’ near the fish commission he was met by a colored man who asked if he was acquainted with Bill Jones. The man seemed to be lost, and while they were talking Taylor came up and wanted to sell him a pack of cards, Taylor said he thought Broadus was very well dressed to be hard up. He did not’ want to buy the cards and then Broadus offered to sell him a gold watch, but he also declined to become a customer. In the mean- time Broadus had put the #5 bill in his hand, and the man who first approached him, he id, grabbed the money and gave it to Taylor, who ran off with it. Taylor denied the charge, but on cross-ex- amination he admitted that he was in the neigh- borhood of the fish commission at the time the offense was committed, Judge Miller gave hirn six months in jail. —_—— A bill has been introduced in the South Caro- lina legislature to repeal the law prohibiting state officers traveling on free passes.
