Bethesda Park was enlivened yesterday @fternoon and evening by the members of the Association of Liquor Dealers and a theusand or rrore friends, who assembled there for a grand picnic. Among the in- teresting attractions were a number of prize contests. John Horn won the sack Face and the reward therefor, a stlver cup.

Boyle and Miss Beula Glaze tied for second prize. While awaiting the announcement Mr. Richard Bond of Ealtimore rendered a number of veeal solos. The outing proved a complete success in every particular. ee He Wants Pumps. Louis C. Hoote, M. D., of 44 P street Rorthwest, has again written to the Com- missioners in regard to the pump on 5th street between P and Q streets, from which the haadle was removed some time ago because of the impurity of the water in the well. In his letter he suggests, if it is absolutely necessary to dispose of the pumps, that artesian welis be used, as the one lately bored near the corner of 9th street and New York avenue, or the digging of cisterns, such as are scattered over the west, which are cemented inside and im- etrable to leekage, and always furnish- ig cool water. If the city would start one of these wells, he thinks a large number of | the citizens would follow the plan for their own use. He states that this pump has given some of the best water in the city for the past twenty or thirty years, and no typhold fever or any other disease has ever been charged to it. He earnestly ap- peals that the pump handle be restored,and the pump be put tn good condition for the eitizens of that neighborhood. _ Marriage Licenses.

Ed- | sion of the Home | WATER MAIN ASSESSMENTS An Important Opinion Relating to George- town Property. Tax Collected Under the Old €orpora- tion Laws—Mr. Thomas’ Opinion on the Refand Request. An interesting opinion was rendered by the attorney for the District today upon water main assessments in Georgetown. The opinion was called forth by the own- ers of Cocke Park, who recently requested @ refund of money erroneousiy paid for water mains laid on 30th, Camprilge and Irving streets. It was claimed that this 6round was assessed under Georgetown, when the water was put in Georgetowa in 1859. The cost of the water main, which it is claimed was erroneously paid, was: as- sessed in. 1803, and shortly after Mr. Colum- bus Alexander applied to have the tax can- celed under the plea that it had” previously been assessed by Georgetown, und the fame was done. It was doubtful with the Commissioners whetner this assessment should be can- celed, even conceding that the tax cf 60 cents per front foot had been levied ond collected as prescribed in the ordinance of Georgetown of May. 9, 1850. It was main- tained that this tax was to “enuble this corperation to redeem said stock snd- pay interest thereon and other expeuses at- tending the introduction and matnieriance of the water establishment.” In the case under discussion there is a tract of land, six and one-half acres, bounded on threé stdes by city streets. A water main was jaid on one front of this tract and sisessed at @0 cents per front foot on that front, leaving the other two fronts and any. new fronts that might be created by subsequent subdivision assessable for mains when lotd on those fronts. It was claimed by the Commissioners that when the tax of 60 cents per front foot was levied it was never the intent that the levying of this tax on one front of this piece of property should in any way prevent the levying of another such tax or any other equitable tax on the other fronts of the property when mains had been latd on these fronts. So the attorney for the District rendered an opinion that time In which he held that the law authorized an assessment of ® cents per front foot and made no dis- tinction as to the size or depth of the lot, and further, he was unable to pervelye any alfference between an assessment to re- deem water stock issued to defray the cost of laying a water main and an arsess- ment to defray the cost of laying a water main. He recommended at that time that the assessments complained of be can- celed and the money refunded. But this opinion did not please the Com- missioners, who believed the assessment should be canceled after a decision by the courts. Opinion Revixed. This called for another opinion from the attorney, which he rendered today, and, be- ing of considerable interest, is given in full below: “I have concluded to revise my opinion. When the case was before me in May last { had in mind the case of Columbus Alex- ander, and supposed that this case wag in, all things parallel with that; that the as- sessment against ‘Cooke Park’ for jaying-a water main in 18% was made upon the same front of the tract which was assessed in 1859. “On re-examination I find that I was in error on both of these points. The law in regard to assessments at the rate of cents per front foot for laying water mains in Georgetown does not mean, I think, that another side or front of the same square, or tract of land, may not subsequently be assessed for the laying of another, or differ- ent, main, but only thit the particular front, abutting the main, should be lable to an assessment to defray the cost of laying the main. The principle of assessments for the laying of water mains tn the city of Wash- ington is different—it provides for an assess- ment at the rate of a cent and a quarter T square foot. “The effect of assessment by area is,in the event a square is not subdivided into lots, to collect, In advance, four, five or six times the amount of money required to lay the main. In other words, all fronts of the property are assessed in advance to pay the cost of laying water mains whenever they become necessary. This method {s mani- festly inequitable, and there is every reason why when an assessment by area has been levied and collected {t should not be repeat- ed. But this reason doeg not apply in the | crse cf an assessment by the front foot, which was designed fo, and which does, in fact, as I understand, raise only sufficient money to lay the particular main. There was and is, therefore, no reason why such an assessment should be made a bar to future assessments for laying mains on other fronts of the square or tract. There is manifestly a difference in principle be- tween an assessment by the front foot and one by area to raise money to defray the cost of laying water mains. An assessment by the front foot implies that only the par- ticular front ts to be assessed, whereas an assessment by area, in the event the ground ts not subdivided into lots, of necessig, em- braces the entire tract, and thus pays in advance for the laying of mains on all the fronts. For these reasons I thought proper to revise my opinion given on the 24th of May last, and I now advise that the appli- cants in this case are not entitled to a re- fund of the money paid by them tn satisfac- tion of the assessment made for laying @ water main tn _ 1803, because I believe the assessment in 1859 was not intended to and eid not have the effect of preventing a fu- | ture assessment on other fronts of the same tract. If the owners of Cooke Park are ad- vised differently, they have their remedy in the courts.” —— | program for summer eveni | AMUSEM Albaugh’s.—The success of the vaudeville entertainment at Albaugh’s has been re- markable. A large atendance, embracing some of the best people of the city, has nightly filled the auditorium, proving the wisdom of Manager Alien’s selection of a "$s enjoyment. This week the program is unusually atirac- tive and the banjo playing of the Leech sis- ters has been a decided figure. Excellent as have been the artists who have already appeared at this house, Mr. Allen is determined to offer even greater attractions to the patrons of Albaug’ and next week will see some new faces and some new acts. While the selections for next week are not entirely concluded, it may be stated that among those who will appear will be R. J. Jose, whose fame as a balladist ts well known, and H. W. Frill- man, the basso,both of whom will appear in solos and also in connection with the quar- tet of which they are members, and which | bas made such a great success at the New York Casino this summer. Besides these there will be Brooks and Denton, the world- renowned banjolsts, who may ‘be said to stand at the very head of the list of play- ers on that instrument. They have a rep- ertolre of music that is rarely heard upon the banjo, as it includes compositions of Wagner, Chopin, Gounod, Verdi, Bucalossi, | and other noted writers. The banjo is a pop- ular instrument in this city and there are some exteremely graceful performers on it here, but the playing of Messrs. Brooks and Denton will be a revelation of the pos- sibilities of the banjo. The living pictures will be continued next week, many of those which have already een being repeated, while the repre- fon of several new works of art will also be given. _ As to One Dollar Gas, ‘To the Editor of Evening Star: The last week I have been carefully seek- ing information as to the chances of H. B. 4279 (providing for dollar gas in Washing- ton) going through the Senate. I am sorry to say my information fs that the chances are not good. The mysterious influence ex- ercised by the gas monopoly has so far suc- ceeded in pigeonholing the bill, in | the earnest recommendation of the ¢ sioners, and It will probably stay plgeon- holed unless there is an aroused pubile sen- timent. There is deep feeling on this sub- Ject throughout the city, but the idea also generally prevails that in a matter of such manifest justness the honorable Senate would need no further movement on the part of citizens. But I would suggest to the | vartous citizens’ associations that they move in the premises without further delay. The time ts short. There need be no further dem- onstration that doliar gas fs not a moderate, but a high, price for such a field as this. A. B.C. FOR ILLUMINATION Fireworks Pythian Committee Ar- x ranging Its Program. fr The committee on firewo>ks and iRunrina- ticn has been considering a number of plans for providing a pyrotechnic enter*ainment on the occasion of the Knights of Pythias encampment, snd also for securing a gea- eral iNumination of Pennsylvania avenue ‘on the night of the 28th of August. The com, mittee is seeking to secure the co-operation of business men and residents on Pennsyl- vania avenue from the Capitol to, Lith street in a scheme of illumination. A part ‘of the plan, as dev:sed by Gen. Dunean. & Walker, the chai-man of the committee, 1s to have an iumination along the curb line. on each side of the street produced by means of Japanese lanterns suspended at unjform distances on wires to be strung for the purpose. In addition to this, every-mer: chant and resident will be solicited to 1l- luminate his store or house front in some manner on that night. The commiitee hopes that the me-chants will enter hearttiy ‘into: the scheme, and that the resuit will be an effective illumination of the avenue at rio great expense to the committee, and a very ttle individual expense. e street car company will be asked minate the Th to ilu cable cars by means of lanterns lke thuse to be used on the curb, and the hendic com- pany, the large brewing establishments, the £xpress companies and ali others having ve- hicles that ply up and dawn Pennsylvanta avenue will be asked to provide a similar f.tu- mination for thet: various conveyances. The Plan also con an fllumfnation of the Capitol. dome, -but the arrangements: for this. have not yet been announced. : ——— HE. DRAWS THE LINE. Recorder Taylor Has No Places for Any White Males, | * Mr. Charles H. J. Taylor of Kansas, who succeeded in becoming recorder of deeds for this District some Itttle time ago, Is ‘hot achieving, it is said, startling success in the strict fulfitiment of pre-confirmation prom- ises. It will be remembered that’ Mr. ‘Tay- Jor was quite liberal with the offices jn, the gift of the recorder during the long and anx- fous time when’ he was as much In the dark as to the future as were the citizens of the District. Especially was the Hon. John Martin, Senator from Kansas, sup- plied with unlimited prospective patronage. It was generally supposed that bis calls upon Mr. Taylor for appointments would, im the case of Mr. Taylor's success, be hon- ored as promptly as the bank check of an Astor. This was because of the gratitude which Mr. Taylor was understood to feel for the Kansas man who recommended him to the President “for any >ftice outside of the state of Kansas.” It may be that Mr. Taylor's arithmetic was faulty and that he offerei more offices or memory was bad and than the law grants to the recorder. it may be that his his promises left little or no impression cn his mind. Whatever the cause, the resul| has been very unfortunate, not only for Mr. and their constituents. one-quart jug, Taylor ts now embarrassing explanations, which are pass. the matter, but it is said that he is carry. been called to his attention during the pas! few days.

A BRAVE DEED. Mrs. A. V. Roe Pluckily Stops a R away Team, . Yesterday afternoon the bravery of a wo- man prevented what would otherwise prob- ebly have been a tragedy. A runaway team drawing a light wagon in which were a mother and two children was stopped in its wild career by Mrs. A. V, Roe of 52 C street southeast. Seeing the dangerous situation in which the occupants of the wagon were placed, Mrs. Roe ran out into the street in front of the horses, and by flaunting her ski>ts so surprised them that they reduced their speed considerably, and then she grasped the horse by the bit and hung on until they came to a standstill. In the wagon were Mrs. Mark Schirber and her two little ones, who had come into town with Mr. Schirber from their home out in Maryland. He went into a store on Capitol Hill and while he was out of the wagon the horses became frightened and ran away. They were stopp2d rear the corner of New Jersey avenue and C street. Mrs. Roe had an arm sprained and was brulsed by the | wagon pole, but not serlously. She was the recipient of many hearty congratulations from those wo witnessed the specimen of her skill and daring. Se Cool the F une Water. To the Ed Evening Star: A few days ago I saw the District work- men removing the pump from the corner of Indiana avenue and 3d street, and it oc- curred to me that there was just the right opportunity to practically illustrate whethe> or not there was anything in the suggestion Dr. Rey idea of introducing a coil of pipe into « well to cool hydrant water the more one be- comes impressed with it. The moral effect, to say nothing of solid comfort, of cool drinking water In a poor neighborhood is incalculable, and it is hoped The Star will urge upon the Commissioners the advisabll- ity of practically testing the value of Dr. Reyburn's idea.

He spoke of the economical manner in which the campaign had been conducted, — about’ $200 "having been spent all to- gether. MY. Smith said that there were in the campaign two. critical moments, one when it was found that the business men’s book of signatures was not nearly completed,and another when the official excursion had to be given up on account of the threatened strike.

He spoke of the great assistance . | which New York Endeavorers had been to the great movement, and said that it was particularly pleasing to him that the me- tropolis and the capital city were so pleas- antly allied. A telegram of welcome was read from Dr. Teunis S.

He then presented to the District union, on behalf of the New York union, @ mascot in the shape of a beautiful/silk’ Amertcan flag surmounted with a miniature world. He also left, as a mascot fo: the commit- tee of 9, a representation of the Tammany tiger, which, he said, was the symbol, in New York, of an tnstitutton which had al- Ways overcome opposition.
