Bab BREAK IN THE CANAL WAELS.—Sus- pension of Receipts of Coal—The Flour Mills Sus- pended.—In consequence of the heavy rains last night the waterin the canal was unusually high this morning, everflowing thé banks at various points. The wall east of the Aque- duct, next the river, is about 30 feet high, and about I4feet thick, but ithad become’ greatly weakened by rats, which for a long time were & great annoyance to the millers and mer- ebants. The water pouring over the wall worked out the heavy rocks of whichit was corstructed and at 6.30 o’clock washed away the entire wallto the rocky bed, a length of over fifty feet, west of Davidson’s mill, tearing down tfe derricks and smashing the hoisting tackle of the Borden Mining Co, washitg a deep ditch to the river, carrying away the wharf of the Borden Co., and between eightand nine huxdred tons of coal. The disaster effectually suspends the opera- tions of all the mills dependent upon the cana} for their supply of water, and of course sus- pends the arrivalof boats from the west. The Superintendent of tie division was soon at work making preliminary arrangements for the immediate beginning of the work of recon- struction, which we hope will be completed ina few days sufficiently to reopen naviga- tion, but it is feared that with all the workmen that can be made available the work will not be completed in less than three weeks. The Borden Compary are the principal losers, and their loss will hardly be covered by $10,000. Mr. Davidson was somewhat injured, but to no great extent.

The isolation of set of men, who for no other crime than connected with a daily paper, are held ees eight or ten hoursa day, a mile from an ter or & cocktail is terrible to think ef. : On reassembling, the Jast witness— 4 C. H. Roscu was recalled. Identified a cofl carpet bag. Found no monkey wrench i carpet bag.

Witness arres Spangler in a house on 7thstrect, near the P’ ent Office. It was the corner of 7th and H the soatheast corner. Feund no weapons im There was some ladies in the house. It was Spangler’s boarding housés witness thinks. WILLIAM WALLACE sworn:—Witness are rested O’Langblin in Baltimore, at the house of a jamily named Bell. It was not his board- ing bouse. O'Laugblin said when he arrived in town on Saturday that he heard that officers bad been lookingfor him, and he had gone away from his home. He seemed to know why he was arrested. He talked about the assassination, and said it was a very bad affair. Foundno arms in bis possession. Mr. Cox:—Dia the brother-in-law of O*Laughlin go for you or send for you to ar- rest O’Laughlin? Objected to by Mr. Bingham. Mr. Cox said that they wished to show that he did not seek to avoid arrest but that he wished to give himself up. Mr. Bingham caid it was in testimony that he told one of his associates he was going away to avoid arrest. Mr. Cox said they proposed to show that he said he was going to be arrested eleewhere, as if arrested at home it weuld be the death of his mother. The Court decided thatthe question could be put. The witness resuming said that knowing Mr. Maulteby (brother-in-law of O’Laughlin) to be a good Union man, he told him be wished him to assist him in getting O’Laughlin. Maultsby eaid he would do so, and if he got any information he world let him know. On Monday Maultsby tola witness ifhe would go with him he could find O’Laughiin, which he did, and found him at Meultsby’s house. The prisoner protested his innocence, and said he could account for his whereabouts all the time he was in Washington. James GIFFORD sworn -~ Witness is stage carpenter at Ford’s.

Clay Ford decorating the box, and also Mr. Raybold. Did not see Spangler in tne box that dey. Observed the rocking chair in the box on tke following day. Did not think the rocking chair was in the box before during the -; season, Saw itafter the assassination on Sat- urday, Sunday and Monday. Won't know’ who took it'away. On Monday after the as- sassination tried to find the bar tHat held the door back. It must have been abent 3 ft. 6 in. in length, and would keep the door back unless it was shaken, when it would drop. Thinks if the mortice in the wall had been made pre~-’ viously he would have noticedit. Isappeared to be recently made, and as if scray in the Plastering with a knife. Witness ‘thinks it would require some light in the p: , with the doors shut, to make the mortice. @ knife was used, it could be done without making a noise to attract attention. It was notin the range of Spangier’s duties to decorate tue stage box. Raybold was the upholsterer, but he had & stiff neck that afternoon, Witness was in front of the theater when the assassination took place. Had'been behind the scenes-atvout twenty minutes before. Spangler was tien in his place en the léf* hand side, waiting te shift the scenes. The psesages were generally kept clear, but the entrances were sometimes ob- structed with chairs, &c.

There were 5 cr 6 scenes in each act, and bis (Spangler’s) presence ‘wus indispensi- ble. Witness did not hear Booth call Spangler that night. Spangler was friendly with Booth, as allin the theatre were. Booth was pleasant and all were friendly wi: him. Booth would Yemain about for a week, then would go off for a couple of weeks. He hed the same facilities of access as an employee. Had access to the back entrance except when the house was locked up. Spangler was sort of drudge for Booth, would fix his horse up, &c. The hole im the wall was not cut in the brick. It might have been done with a pen-Enife. ¢ Witness here examined the stick used with nails in the end, and said the nails may have been placed there to ri it from slipping down. Don’t know whatthe nails in the other end were for. Did not know how the lock on the door of the box came to-be loose, Witness beard between 11 and 12 o’clock that morning that the President was coming there that night.
