The sixth auditor, Mr. McConville, in speak- ing to-day of the recent changes in his office said that they were made for the purpose of in- creasing the efficiency of the service. He said that for years his office had been considered the'Botany Bay of the Treasury department, and that there was a good deal of material that was worn out and useless. He was simply try ing to get rid of the inefficient and useless. There were some 370 clerks in the office and he thought of this number that there were proba- bly sixty whose services could be dispensed with with advantage to the public work. ‘This number of changes would not be made at onee, but would take place gradually.

PROBABLE NOW THAT A COURT-MARTIAL WILL BE ORDERED. The record of the court of inquiry in the case of Paymaster General Smith is still before the Secretary of the Navy, who has not yet found time to consider it, Nothing official ean be learned regarding the findings in the case, but it is the general impression that they are of a more serious character than was at first sup- posed. According to instructions the court re- port nly facts, without any recommenda- tions, but it is suid that the evidence, while not establishing any collusion with contractors, showed such négligence and_ illegality inthe matter of contracis that the Secretary will be likely to order a court-martial. It has been an open secret for some time past that Paymaster General Smith would hold bis position but a short Ume longer without regard to. the result of the recent court of inquiry. Pay Iuspector John H. Stephenson, {t is thought, will be his successor. THE WaALEs CouRTMARTIAL—Mr. F. V.

What was equivalent to a day's session, he said, had been occupied in this way with Mr, Emery. If such a waste of time was to be allowed, Mr. Miller said, it would very much cripple them in their defense, as they would be unable to get business men, whose time was valuable, to come there and testify. “Your clients,” said Mr. Jackson, “are much better able to lose their time than these work- ingmen are. They are officeholders, getting a good deal of pay from the government.” “I do not refer to my client’s time,” said Mr. Miller, “but to the tiin? of these witnesses.” Mr. Michael A. McGowan, stonecutter and contractor, was then called as a witness for the defense. He said there was no stone in the country better for the purpose, so far as dura- bility ‘was concerned, than that used in the Capitol terrace. This stone the witness called Baltimore county iime stone. As to color, it was about the average to be found in any struc- ture. He thought it was rather better stone than he had seen used generally. The work- manship on the terrace he pronounced fair. He had not observed any marked defects in the work until they were pointed out to him.” The stone used, he suld, was better, in his opinion, than the Lee marble in the wings of the Capitol. The Lee marble after exposure to the weather became covered with little holes, as though some one had fired atit with ashotgun. The statement that the new terrace wail was crumb- ling to its fall, he sald, was all nonsense. On cross-examination Mr. McGowan said a paper setting forth that the terrace was a good job had been brought to him to sign after this in- Vestigation was started, but he had refused to sign ‘it because he had lot Inspected the work. He did not know but that he would sign it no although he did not like to sign an paper Both the m 1 and the workmanship, be suid, might have been better if more money had “The trouble with the gov. g MeGowan, “is that th i a lot of shoemakers up there to find out the value of such work, and appropriate about half e1 for it.” Up where eckson. “On the hill,” said Mr. MeGowan, motioning with His thunib towards the Capitol, “You mean our Solous,” said Mz, Jackson, “Our Solons,” said Mr. MeGowan, adonting the phrase. Mr. McGowan said he meant by the term “shoemak: only that they were men unacquainted with the requ cost of good stone work. He si have asked for more money if he were tect of ti pitol, The marble micht have been better in color if selected stock had been phrchased, but that would have cost as much as tallan marble and would not, he thought, be any more durable than that used. If it was ex- pected that the structure shouid be perfectiy white it could not be built of either Beaverdam or Lee marble. Tne specitications and contracts were here read showing that the specifications called for the marble trom the Baltimore arries “of even color, with no promi- nent Veins.” There was considerable diseus- sion as to the meaning of even color, and whether it meant a perfect blank white of not. ‘The witness said that under the contract he would have furnished no better stone. He de- seribed a defect which had been pointed out to him, known in ston titers’ parlance as a “dutchman’—a patch put into the work—which he considered a somewhat serious defect, At another point he had found a “dry” or crack, which he said he would not have passed if he had been a sworn government inspector, but often such deieets could not be detecte until several months’ exposure to the weather brought them out. ‘The witness repeated that the jub was a fair one for the money. Mr. Miller putin evidence reports from Col, Casey’s office, made at the time work was about to be resumed on the Washington monument, showing that, under crushing tests, the Beaver- dam marble’ proved stronger than any of the other marbles tested. ‘Mr. Jackson said ‘he did not “question the strength or durability of the best quality of Beaverdam marble. He attacked only the mar- ble purchased for this work on the terrace. ARCHITECT WALTER A WITNESS, ‘When the Clark investigation was resumed to-day Mr. Thomas U. Walter, of Philadelphia, architect of the wings of the Capitol, testified for Mr. Clark. He spoke in approval of the work, saying that it was as good as marble work could. be expected to be, In relation to “dries” he said they appeared in the best marble in the world, even in Carrara marble, When t Capitol wings were built he had every stone tested with the view of detect- ing “dries,” but notwithstanding this care “dries” did appear in the building. ‘Such de- ets could be found in any building in the world. As tothe Capitol terrace, he said that if it were his duty to pass upon it for the gov- ernment he would most assuredly accept it. He thought it quite equal to the work done under his supervision in the wings of the Capitol. A portion of the charges against Mr. Clark were then read by Mr. Miller to Mr. Waiters in relation to the charges accusing Mr. Clark of failure to perform his professional duty well in constructing the Patent office building, and, among other things, putting on a wooden roo! or superstructure, which made possible, if It did not invite, the fire at the Patent office. Mr, Walter said he supervised the building ot the Patent Office, the only part not completed When he left being the north portico. | “Mr. Clark,” said “Mr, ‘Walter, “is not respon- sible, I was the superintendent of the Patent office, and hold Inyself re- sponsible. Mr. Clark was my assistant.” Inrelation to the fire, Mr. Walter read a news- paper report of a meeting of the American insti- tute of architects at which Mr.Smithmeyersub- mitted a paper from Mr. Van Stamp, a civil engineer, criticising the architect of the Patent Office as being responsible for damage by the fire. ‘The report contained also Mr. Walter's reply, showing that the Ps tions who madea junk shop of the top of the house were responsible. “te you go through this bullding now,” said Mr. Miller, “you will find stacks on stacks of papers that would set fire to any building in the world.” Mr. Walter said in relation to the charge of bad workmanship and material in the west ap- proach of the south wing that Mr. Clark had nothing to do with that, the work having been done under the supervision of the witness. On cross-examination the witness said he was 81 years old. During the cross-examination Mr. Jackson jaid stresson the fact that Mr. Clark had never served an apprenticeship as a Stone or marble cutter. ‘Mr, Walter said the architect would gain ten times as much practical knowledge of stone work than tne man who merely cut the stone, ee Killed His Stepfather. THE TRIAL OF ALFRED COLLINS. To-day, in the Criminal Court, Alfred Collins, a young colored man, 21 years old, was placed on trial onan indictment charging him with manslaughter in causing the death of his step- father, Alexander Betters, on the 27th of April last, near Glesboro. ‘The first witness was Mary J. Betters, who testified that Alfred was her son, and his father being a man named Williams she named him Willfame; that Betters was asleep when Alired ¢ame home and they got in an altercation, her husband ordermg Alfred to leave the house; that Alfred seized a piece of plank about six feet long and struck tters on the side of the head, knocking him senseless, Witness then hollered and Alfred told her to stop, and, after singing a song, left. ‘On cross-examination witness said that Bet- ters told Alfred not to fuss in the house; he was cursing and swearing; did not see Bettersstrike Alfred, Other witnesses (including the sister of the prisoner) testified that Alfred said he had been shot in Alexandria and asked for turpentine; ot to swearing and Betters and his wife put im out, when Alfred selzed a piece of plank and struck him. Collins took the stand in his own behalf and testified that his stepfather had frequently fussed with him and driven him from home; that when he was put out his lather feli on him, and when he used the plank his father was stooping and he thought that he was picking up something. * ‘This closed the testimony.

Farmers siding tn the third district of Anne Arundel eoant; d., attribute the recent for- est fires to incendiarixm. oe ‘omen at Oxford and Cambridge. From the London Daily News. Those who wish to see the benefits of univer sity education extended to women have every- reason to be satisfied with the rapidly increas- ing success of the ladies colleges at Cambridge and Oxford. Since the first establishment of Newnham and Girton colleges the governing body of each of these Institutions has bad cou stantly to face the difficulty of providing ac comodation fora rapidly increasing influx of students. At Newnhain there are vow rather more than one hundred students—forty Yn the South hall, presided over by Miss Clough, and fifty-one in the North hail, the bead of which is Miss Helen Gladstone, besides about a dozen “outstudents" who are residing with their relatives in Cambridge. These numbers will ¥ery soon be considerably increased. The number of vacancies expected at the end of the academical year 1s twenty-five, and there are already forty applications for entrance iF the ensuing “term. The experience of previous years leads the authorities of the college to anticipate taut the number of applications for entrance Will at least be doubie the number of expected vacancies at the beginning of the Michaelmas term. At the council meeting on Saturcay last it Was therefore resolved that anothed house must. be 1 ‘and prepared for the re. ception of students in October next. This rapid development is the more satisiactory because it does not imply rivalry with similar instita tions, All the colleges are flourishing, Girtor college has lately added a new wing., and the additional rooms thus provided were imme diately oceupied. The Oxford col are making up for lost time, and in a few years it may be expected that Somerville will be equal in numbers to Girton and Newnham. Lady Margaret's college, at Oxford, which wat started on a strictiy denominational basis, hat not developed so rapidly as the other three; but Somerville, like Newnham. has been obliged to hire a house from next October for the tem: porary accommodation of the largely Increased entry ofits students, and at a meeting sum. moned by invitation at the house of Lord Aberdare to-day a special 1 will be made to those who wish well to the higher educa- tion of women to provide funds to enable Somerville hall to erect a new building. The present hall, which ts presided over by, Mixs fevre, sister of the Postmaster General, has its complement of twenty-four stadents, and it is proy it. ible to obtain funds for the Duliding | Of a. accond hat te Re under the care “of @ vice’ principal, for the accommodation of thirty-ve stydents. Considering that the adm of women students to Tri exami jones at Cambridge was only sanctioned by the unt versity in February, 1881, and that a some- what similar concession was made by the university of Oxford so recently as ae 854, the progress that has been made igh, satisfactory. Itencourages the hope that it will not be long before the ancient universities will follow the example of their you wister of London, and admit women, not only to their examinations, but also to their degrees. ————— The New British’ Beauty. ‘London Letter to the San Francisco Argonaut.
