The board of equalization of assessments has been organized and is now prepared to hear complaints from property holders concerning any inequalities In the recent additions to the taxable values of tlie Dlstricr. These additions consist of new buildings and enlargements of buildings recently constructed, from which tax has not here tofore been collected. There are other items to be considered also, as or build ings removed, of which there is no record made ip tlie assessment list, and upon which trtx 'musrbe paid unless the books are corrected. The importance of filing requests for corrections is apparent when it 13 re membered that no alterations can be made after the tliirdilonday in July. Taxpayers are- reminded that no as sessments are under consideration except ing as to the recently added list of im provements. There was an important order passed by the Board of Commissioners yesterday, which will commend itself to laborers and sub-contractors. The order is to the effect that hereafter the general stipulations of and .proposals for material and labor shall contain a clause requiring contract ors to punctually pay the workmen who shall be employed upon them in cash cur rent, and not in what i3 denominated store -pay or orders. - Also, that contractors shall from tirno to time, and as often as required by the Commissioners, furnish satisfactory evi dence that all persons who have done work or furnished materials havo been paid as herein required. PAY "WILL BE DEDUCTED. Should such evidence be not furnished such sum or sums as may be necessary for such payment may, in the discretion of the Commissioners, be retained until such claims shall be fully satisfied. Tho order amounts to a restoration of a rule tome time Fiuee abandoned, but which has been revived with amendments at tho urgent request of purties interested. Section -1 of street extension plans is now under consideration. It is a contin uation of tho original idea, and will m cludo a grand boulevard 120 feet in width and ten nnles in length. In the fourth section the boulevard will extend tromPort Mahon to Fort Giobel. All of tho old "Washington de fenses will -bo utilized as reservations, and beautified accordingly. There are about one dozen points in tho section where earthworks were thrown up during the civil war, and these will bo specially marked, as noted. The engineer commissioner is devoting a great deal of attention to this feature of tho section, and that which pertains to tho boulevard, with a view to mak ing It a perfect system. Applications havo been filed for sub divisions In tho territory, and a good deal of time is being devoted to the location of the streets and other thor oughfares in order that these sub-divisions may bo properly made. The Commissioners arc considering an amendment to the building regulations, which will properly define the difference between a show window and a bay window. Under the present law a bay window is permitted to project one foot farther than a show window beyond the building line, and there are those who make application for construction of a bay window, with the view of using it for the other purpose. It is to obviato any difficulty in this matter that the amendment is proposed.

IhoI tlio Vicarious Saerlflco For All tho Others, and Ills TVMll Bo tho Test Cusd.. In compliance with the order of Judge Miller last week in the oases relating to the occupancy of public Epaco Assistant Dis trict Attorney Pugh had over eighty in inrormations against Louisiana avenue and Ohio aveuue merchants in police court yesterday. The first case brought up was thatagainst John C. Isel. Attorney II. F. Woodward appeared as counsel aud told tlie court he meant to use tlie case as a test case. He therefore pleaded not guilty to the charge andl'olicemanBreen took the stand totestily how Isel's meat stand obstructed the Lonisiana avenue sidiwalk. "The stand," h'e said, "is fourteeu feet out from the building line." "From tho line of the old building used as an cnibalmlug establishment during the war?" aBked his honor. "No, the new building, an annex to tlie old, which stands out not quito so fa"r," the officer anawered. Tho defense theo argued that they had procured a permit to place poles and awning on the sidewalk. "Show your permit," said Prosecutor Pugh. Tho peimlt, however, was not forth coming and tho defense then questioned the authority of the municipal body of this city to enforce their own laws in reference to the public thoroughfares. The Secretary of tlie Interior got the power to control the streets by an act of Congress passed in the fifties," declared Mr. Woodward. "If the Secretary has such authority con ferred on him by Congress," responded Judge Kimball, "why has uot the District a higher and broader right wheu directly bidden by Congress to enforce all laws and regulations on the highways of Washlug tion? The upper courts have so decided long ago and 1 abide by their decisions " The court said he had heard enough for a conviction and on a motion by Mr Wood ward suspended sentence until to-day. when Mr. Isel will be given a term in the workhouse. "Then the test will come," said tho at torney for the defense. "We will sue out a writ of habeas corpus and the case will have to go to a higher court for final action. "In the other cases," added Mr. Wood ward, "we are moving off the public tpaee as fast as we can possibly can, and I will ask for a continuance." "If that is so," almost shouted tlie joy ous Mr. Pugh, "I am willing to continue tlie cases until to-morrow, provided, how ever, that the sidewalks aro cleared " The defendants promised to comply with that condtiion and the cases went over.

'Thls buyer of sheep ami seller of chickens, Charli'dAuffort, led this murderer of men, Billy "Williams, to burglary." said ex-Congrcssnian Turner yesterday to the jury in Judge Cole'seourt. "That is TVhac the prosecution asks you to believe," he weui on. "and I don't think you can. I don't see how the Dis trict Attorney himself can believe it. More than that, you are asked to think that thfs hardened criminal, who had bpent eighteen years in prison, for burglary, for assault to kill, for murder, tveut along very reluctantly to do this job; only went as a tort of human life preserver, to see that nobody should be hurt. 'And he, the experienced cracksman, stayed outside in the boat, while tho huckster led the gang p blow open tho safe. But you aro told Billy Williams had reformed. How?

The argument began early in tho after noon, aud Mr. Turner was speaking at the, close of the day. Mr. Lipscomb will &pcak thib morning and Mr Birney will close for tlie government. A decisiou is os petted beiore niglit, Mr. Birney, in bpening the argument, said lie did not ask the Jury to rely upon the story of "Billy" Williams, except as confirmed by the discoveries made under his direction by the police and further corroborated by the evidence of many otlmra. Mr. Charles BenO,iHm, v-ho follovred Mr. Birney, ridiculed," the evidence offered by the prosecution as almost puerile, and commented upon what he called the ex ceedingly weak evidence produced by the efforts of the detective force. Tlie closing of the evidence yesterday morning was only in support of testimony already offered. Desmond testified that he was in a poker game from lip. in. to 1 a. m. on the night' of the burgary, and Thomas S. Donadson, Harry Candor's bar keeper, te&tified to the same effect. Bradshaw's Riiss. Bradsha-w v.as jealous. There -was no denying it. But -what can you expect or a man -who is very much in love, or at least thinks he is? The mother of Ills charmer approved of him and had promised a iriendly alliance, but the charmer IierseK remained neutral which, you must admit; looked doubtrul for the alliance, and especially for Brad Shav. He -was a -well-meaning, -well-conducted, industrious young man, who by strict at tention to business had become the confi dential clerk of Mr. Joseph W. Lurnhy, -wholesale dealer in tea, coffee, spices, etc., a liberal discount to the trade, etc "But I tell you I don't care for him." Miss Vera White spoke decidedly and looked straight into her mother's eyes. "He's a j'ouiig man of fcuch nice, steady habits," remonstrated the mother. "I know it." "He's very much in earnest," sighed Mrs. White. "So am I," retorted the daughter. "Seems to me it's a thing to be in earnest about. I should say it ought to be." "But, my dear, you let him come here." "It's you who let him." "But you talk with him and go out with him. I "don't think you dislike Mr. Brad shaw." "No. I don't." "You'll throw over a man who'll make you a good husband and take up with soino dashing, showy spendthrift yet." "But, my dearest mother, the spend thrift hasn't even appeared to ask to be taken up. So what's the use of borrowing trouble? I don't want to get married anyway. I should havo to fall in lovo first, you know. And, as I've got all that to go through with, there's plenty of time." "But, you know, dear, since the reduc tion in the rates of interest our income has grown so small that I can scarcely make both ends meet. You- need more than when you wore little and aud I don't know what to do. I fcate to put a mort gage on tho house." "Oh, you mustn't do that! I will get some work to do." It was true there was very little to live upon. Mrs. Wftwhad been a widow for ten years. Yera. was her only child, and at 19 was as unsophisticated in the the ways of the world as many girls at 12. It -was settled she should learn type writing. Arter she ..had mastered it the next thing was to fiud something to do. Here Mr. Bradshajv came to the rescue and got her a placo in.Mx. Burphy's private office. Of course he didn't want them to lose tho home lie 'had "had his eye on it for some time., Ili$ desk was in Mr. Burphy's office, aiil it was an admirable 1 arrangement. "You know," he 'said to the widow, Children's Suits, $1.33 for all that wcro S10B $2.00 for nil Urn!; woro 1.00 S2.C7 for all that woro S4.00 SL.'lj foe all that wero$5.00 S4.00 for all that tto' o ?.00 ?5.00 for all that r.crj J7.30 that were SliOO that were S-'IO.) that woro 00 that wuro S3 00 that wero Sti.0-3 that woro S7.KJ 5ZWz&vgW& "thoy call Mr. Burphy a crank. To be sure, he is an old bachelor and has stuck so closely to business all his life that it has made him a little gruff and iecullar. But if any oue could be with him as I have been and could see the real tenderness un derneath, the good he docslu a quiet way, and the strict, fine integrity of the man, they'd know, as I do, that he's one in ten thousand. Oh, I'll look after Miss Vera; she'll be all right, I asaiire you." So Vera went to work. The next day after she began, she made some rr'atake in a dictation, aud Mr. Burphy spoke hharply to her. The tears rushed to her eyed, but sh& choked them back and bald quietly: "I shall try faithfully to do what you wish. IT 1 make too many mistakes aud don't suit, you have only to beud me away." There was something in the independ ence of the answer that caused him to think twice about her. He studied her furtively and found the 6tudy interesting. She attended strictly to busiuecs, and he av.- that bho was intelligent and reliable. After a time Mr. Bradshaw made an un pleasant discovery, lie believed Miss Vera was in love with her enplo3er. The signs were to him unmistakable. It was here that he became jealous. Besides hK w n leelings in the matter, he felt that he must save a young, innocent girl from wrecking her happiness on a man w.ho, he believed, cared no more for her than the ledger on his desk. So he resolved on a bold step He went to Mr Burphy and told him he had reason to believe little Miss White was in love with him, and for her sake something ought to be done to cure the infatuation. Mr Burphy looked positively stunned, but he agreed to do his best in any plan llr. Bradshaw might suggest. "Suppose you dictate a letter to a young lady, showing your admiration, etc. How would that do?" "Excellent, excellent!" cried Mr. Bur phy. Accordingly, the next day, after Miss White took ber dictations, her employer in a rather embarrassed manner gave her this: "My Dear Miss (you can leave the name blank) Will you ask your mother if I may have the privilege or calling at your home? I am anxiouslv awaiting a reply Faithfully yours, JOSEPH W. BUKPKY." Snniehow there were so many mistakes in the letter she had to make a second draft, and that wily old bachelor actually saw her fingers tremble. "I will address it myself," he said, taking it from her. "Beautiful," chuckled Bradshaw to himself, seeing how finely his plan worked. Tlie next day there wa3 another letter to bo written to the same woman. "I love you," it said. "I want to make you my wife. If you care for me, say that I may come to your homo tomorrow even ing." This time the typewriter made worse mistakes than before, and complained of feeling ill. aud asked to'go home a little before the time. As she arose to put on her wraps, Mr. Burphy sent Bradshaw out of the room for something. "Will you please mail these letters for me?" he said, handing her two. "And and I wish you'd see if I've addres&ed them right." She looked at them, then at him in a dazed way. "Why, tliey'ro addressed to me!" "Yes," said Burphy, shortly. "Number right? Please open them and see, too, if the contents are correct?" "Good heavens! Was it a dismissal?" She opened the envelopes with trembling fingers and a faint heart. "Why, Mr. Burphy," she said, "it's a mis take. Tbe.e are the letters I wmte to that lady." "No mistake at all. Quite correct," re plied that businesslike individual very brusquely. "Will you have the kindness to give mo ray answer?" "You may come to-morrow evening," she said and ran out of the office. "How did it work?" asked Mr. Bradshaw when he came back. "I'm afraid not just as you expected," replied tho proprietor with his back to him. Bradshaw thought so when lie got the wedding cards. ALICE E. IVES. Gallant, Yet Iturte. At 10 a. m. yesterday an extremely well-dressed and pretty young woman was crossing tho City Hall Tark. She was half way across the square when a man garbed like a gentleman stopped her and told her that an enormous "devil's darn ing needle" was on her hack. "If you will stand still a moment I will kill it," ho said. She smiled her thanks. The man pulled off his derby and struck her two sound ing blows with his hat some distance below the waist. Tho young woman stood as if petrified, then she turned and gave her rescuer a glance in which astonish ment, indignation and possibly thanks were strangely mjngled. The man did not notico her. He was inspecting the darning-needle on ithe grouud, and the pretty young woman walked on toward the Brooklyn Bridge, tossing up a mental pennv whether to be angry or not. New York World.
