Ttoe coel weather lias put no damper on the Colonial Beach excursions, as the Steamer Jane Moseley continues to carry down to that resort a goodly number of passengers on each trip. In Taet, the season at the Beach continues to improve rather than diminish, as none of the cot tagers have thought yet of coming to the c'ty. This is really the most beauti ful feature of the resort. The large hotel and boaidtog-lKses are nearly all well patronised. To keep in touch with the general reduction in rates by the railroads, the steamer Jane Moseley lias made special arrangements for the Lalor Day rush to morrow, as Well as for today. Tickets are good Tor the entire season. The dining-room and lunrh-couutcr service have almost entirely done away with the "lunch liasket" carryiig, owing to the low rates and high quality of the goods-the man agement having endeavored to do away with .anything like extortion, and furnish ing everything at the lowest city prices. Arrangements are being made to give several oyster roasts and dam bakes be fore the close of the season, as the bi valves are something fine in this imme diate locality. The steamer will leave her wharf, foot of Sixth street outii west, or next below "River View' wharf, today and tomorrow, and thereafter until further notice, -at 9 a. in.

The Llstrict Commissioners have decided to strengthen thu Navy Yard bridge imme diately, so far at. they arts able, with cer tali: undisposed of and available fund on hand. This decision was arrived at yes terday artcr a consultation with the En gineer CommUsioner, In view of the re port rendered Friday thutthe bridge would be unsafe when the heavy cars of the Capital Traction Company commenced run ning across it, as allowed by act or Con gress The matter 'of strerlgthenlng the bridge will conn- in the province of the engineer department, but it It. understood that work will be commenced almost, imme diately. The-exact fund at their dis posal lias not been at-certaind, as the Commissioners thenselve8 have not bi-en informed on that subject definitely, but enough money if on hand to materially Increase the structural efficiency of the bridge. The Commissioners yestcrdav granted a permit to Mr. A. E. Handle, president o ihc Capital "Railway Company, to put Ii' the underground electric sjtem on the tracks crossing the Navy Yard Bridge, and lQ oporate llis can mer tllL. bridge and to the end i the route at the Nuvy Yard gate, as soon as possible. This action was taken in spite of the leport or the Engineer Department that the bridge was unsafe. The calculation- of the Engineer Department, lioweer, were based on the theory of what would happen if two curs of the company, loaded to their utmost capacity, should meet on the bridge. When Mr. Handle explained to the Com missioners that he intended to so arrange the schedule that only one car would be on tin bridge at one time, the Commis sioners said that that would be "very sat isfactory, and issued the permit. President Handle, In speaking of the matter yesterday, said that he could well understand the apprehension of the Com mlsJioners in regard to the matter. He was satisfied, however, that the Commis sioners hail been .acting fur the public good in mnking the ino.uiry as to the coanitiou of the bridge, but in li's pinIou, the fridge was safer and stronger today than it ever has been, as his eompanj has just put down a double track of heavy eightj -pound rails, in addition to a new flooring of heavy lumber beams. He ex pected to have the road in operation up to the navy yard gates by the last of next week. VAHICK HAWKINS HAUL. The Sum Reported Taken by Him Increased by $20. 1 1 was discovered yesterday that Mescn- trnr WjiY.'Lfns limit fnnn fho rifflrp of Hie District tax collector was $20 more than 1 was at first reported. This extra gain of Hawkins arose from a practice of tax-pajers, who frequently j iio not care to wait for their receipts but slip the bill with the money in an en velope and give it to a clerk, with the understanding that the receipt will be sent them. One of these envelopes, containing $20, "was missed several days before Hawfcin decajajped, and. as it had passed through bio liands, it is believed he took it with the rest of the money. As the tax-payer has no way of proving thut he paid his bill, he will have to stand the loss, and it is probable that tnii new and the opportunities affqrded by the sys- tnm ff Limilnr lief m r-rlrwt.
