Dredging was continued in the Virginia channel above Long bridge, during the month under contract excavated 85,331 cubic yards. The work this contract 1s near'y com ar Tew more days work only being requit ‘THERE WILL THEN BE A CHANNEL 20 feet deep and 500 to 550 feet wide from Easby’s potnt to long bridge. Under contract with F. C. Somers dredging and embankment were continued along the outer margin of section 2, above the proposed site of the rservotr inlets, A trench his n dredged about 70 feet wide, and the embank- ment constructed up to about ‘the levélof high Ude for a distance of about 3,000 feet. The amount of dredging done under this contract was eubie yards. Along the southeast margin of the sewer canal there was dredged and placed in embankment 6,464 cubic yards of material Which had been ‘previously dredged from the Virgina channel and deposited in the canal. The delivery of stone for the protection of the embank- ment was continued during the month, Work under the contract with Benson & McNee for dredging in the Udal reservoir will not be com- menced until January 1, 1887. ‘A NEW MODE OF DREDGING. Mr. Rittenhouse Moore, of Mobile, Ala., who was awarded the contract for dredging inthe Wash- ington channel, proposes to dredge the material while the river is frozen, to place it in boxes of about 20 cuble yards capicity and to haul tt ashore onthe ice by horses and there deposit it. Itis proposed to purchase the rip-rap stone for which bids were rejected in open market, and It 1s found a an be done at prices that will effect a sav- ing of $3500 on the amount of stone called for by thé speciiteations, WHAT HAS BEEN DONE. There has been dredged a channel 300 to 550 feet wide and 20 feet deep, between Glesboro’ Point and Georgetown, which ts being widened and deepened. | The Washington channel has been dredged to a Width of from 200 to 350 feet.

West Washington Interests, A PUBLIC MEETING OF CITIZENS LAST EVENING AND A COMMITTEE AUTHORIZED. In response to the published call for a meeting of the business men and property owners of West Washington to consult in regard to advancing the {nterests of that section before Congress, about fifty people met last evening in the room of the First Co-operative Butlding association, Among those present were Messrs. M. A. McGowan, John Colored Missionary Work. THE BOARD OF MANAGERS OF THE AND BALTIMORE CONFERENCE. ‘The board of managers of the missionary board of the Philadelphia and conference of the A.M. E Zion church, held its semi-annual meeting in John Wesley church, Connecticut ave- nue, Rev. J. W. Smith, pastor, yesterday. Rev. 8, 8. Wales, the presiding elder of the District, pre- and Rev. G.

The of the agent showed, among the doners to this important we the names of the following: President Cleveland, Sit ce ara yl, Bae Gray, Fiel lat ry tice Cartter, Senator Cameron, Commissioners Webb and Wheatley, Messrs. Barber & Ross, Kev. J.T. Kelley, and others of Washington; Governor Pattison, of Pennsylvania, President McCauley, of Dickinson college, and many others. ‘The mission work of this board embraces the District of Co- lunbia, Maryland, Delaware, the upper part of Virginia, eastern and central parts of Pennsyl- Vania, numbering 40 misstons and 23 missionaries. —_~ Extension of the Pennsylvania Rail- road Dining Car Service. ‘The dining cars of the Pennsylvania Rallroad Company’s through trains have proven such a Popular and convenient feature of travel on that line, that the company has decided to further ex- tend the service. No innovation in the older methods of railroad travel has contributed more toenhance the comfort of the traveler than the dining car, It ts the connecting link between the Parlor car and the sleeper, which perfects the system by providing for the comfort of the inner man. ‘The cars are constructed with a view to their use as dining carsonly. Ample room 1s devoted to the kitchen, which is equipped with all the a pliances known to modern cookery. The cooks are experienced and trained for this particular service, ‘The dining saloon 1s the body of the car. Itisa bright and cheerful apartment, furnished with all the requisites of a high-class restaurant. The stock of provisions carried embraces not only all the substantials as well as the delicacies in sea- son, but a complete and carefully chosen selection Of Wines and liquors. ‘The daily menu is but an enumeration of all these good things, which, served in admirable taste afd neatness, make a meal tlt for a King. ‘The prices are exceedingly Wberal when compared with similar service in regular restaurants, as it 18 no easy matter to find a restaurant where so complete a meal can be secured for a dollar. The making of money is not an element of the ent ise, but the system was instituted and 1s maintained as an accommodation to the patrons of the road. In these busy daysthe saving of time is a great consideration, and the man who eats while he travels not only saves time, but is relieved of the necessity of dispatch- ing a hasty meal before departure or going hungry to his destination. Commencing on Tuesday next, a dining car to Tun to Philadelphia will be attached to the Chi- ona Express leaving New York at 6:00 p. m. for Puilacelphia and the West. And commencing on Wednesday, a similar car wiil be attached to the Washington Limited Express at Wilmington to be run to New York. ‘These cars are the exact coun- terpart of those used on the New York and Chi- cago Limited, and are the finest examples of thelr T.

After several inquiries by the chairman as to why the meeting was called and by whom, Dr. Becker said he did not know for certain why it was called, but thought it was to state the griev- ances of West Washington, so that the injustices from whic residents of this Pope of the District had suffered for years, should be properly pre- sented to Congress and some steps taken whereby the streets should be repaired, sewerage attended to, and, in fact, the entire town, with its wants, looked after by the authorities. The changing of the course of the proposed Massachusetts avenue extension from the original plan was referred to by Dr. Becker and others, who stated that if the roposed plan was carried out own would eisolated and cut off from the country trade, which ts a source of revenue to the merchants, Mr. Leetch mentioned that he was present at the meeting held at Masonic Temple the other even- ing, when every section of the city was repre sented by committeemen, and each section had stated its grievances, but West Washington was not mentioned all the evening. Mr. Leetch sug- gested that a committee be appointed from the property ‘owners and business men of Georgetown, 0 Wait upon the proper committees in Congress, Mr. Miller hoped that when the committee was appointed the dangerous slope on M street and the free bridge would not be forgotten. Mr. Greenlees said that while East Washington, South Washington and North Washington hat been the favored sections of the District, yet, al- though West Washington had a Commisstoner, there had been no marked tinprovement; but he hoped, if this meeting backed up the Commis- sioner from Georgetown, there wot bea change for the better. After further discussion a committee eer f of Mr. Greenlees, Dr. Charles Becker and John Te Mitchell were appointed to act with the chairman in the api mtment of a committee of Afveen, | who shall | “take” special | change of the best public Interests of this section, and to use all urgent and legitimate means to secure such improvements as we need— and their name is legion—and that in the exercise of such duty they will receive the cordial support of West Washington.” Mr. Mitchell spoke of the the cemeteries a hingto the building and proving of West ‘on. Major George Hill said that in the past all pro- benefits by mass and ‘the like had n drowned in talk. He earnestly hoped that ‘this one would terminate differently. ‘The meeting adjourned until next Tuesday evening, When the committee will be announced ‘CoLoRED Masonic ELacTIONs.—Varlous colored Masonic bodies have elected officers for the ensu- ing year as follows: Social lodge No. 1—Geo.

It was current talk in political circles in New York last night that the boodle ex-Alderman Mc- Quade boasted just previous to the fiasco in his first trial that “they will never get a jury to con- Vict me,” and what Was then taken as a Dit of ‘braggadocio ts now probably being confirmed, for the report is that as the second trial is drawing to ‘@ close McQuade is approaching nearer to his tree- dom. The New York Telegram ot last evening prints an amazing story of the corruption by Which this result 18 to be secured. The narrative Tung that the underhand work relied upon to save the bribe-givers and bribe takers from joining Jaehne in Sing Sing began when things hot for Jake Sharp and the indicted alder men. John Keenan, who has in his power many Prominent men fn national and state sore as well as in the local government, determin to mak his power felt, and, it 15 sald, vis- ited Lwo persons connected with the adiniiiistra~ tion of justice in New York city. One of them, Who 18 not so intimately connected with thé doodle business, he caused to bring hts influence to bear over and over again upon the other person. Then he also had a few things to say to the latter. Kosi hor ut perc, noc oueogntas a t the pressure became strongér and stronger. Hints about tell- ing the attorney ralof dealings with cable Toad people under the alias of “Daisy” were made and copies of dispatches and letters about the mat- er were placed in the hands of lawyers in New: York, ready to be sent on to Albany. De’ Lacey, one of the indicted boodlers, was forced to go to Canada and prevented from return- ing, but the great opportunity came after the McQuade mistrial. When the second trial began it was found that even more of the friends of the indicted aldermen were on the Jury panels than in the first trial. It 1s charged that the places of talesmen sent out of the box under peremptory challenges have been filled by five men who are ound to vote for the acquittal of McQuade first, last and all the time. One of them, 1t 1s all has had intimate connections and ‘business rela~ Uons with John Keenan, Who was at the bottom of all the jury-nxing sald to have been done, at ail “events, on ‘Thursday one of the counsel for 'McQuade received a cipher dispatch from Keenan, in which it ‘Was said that the jury was Tight; that the attorney general has brot it the “parties” to terms, Recently it is said thoge in the deal have boasted that by trying McQuade and then retry- Se they have succeeded in hoodwinking the public and the press, and that when this ease re- sults in another disagreement that the blame will be put on the jury once more. If McQuade 1s not convicted it 18 understood noone else fs to be tried, and boodle matters will slowly sink into oblivion. Geases seers orcael dh Lady Campbell’s Story. ‘THE QUEEN DISGUSTED WITH THE SCANDAL. ‘The queen has forbidden the admission into the household of Windsor Castle or within the castle Precincts of newspapers containing reports of the Campbell divorce case, The feature of the trial yesterday was the appearance of Lat Colin ‘Campbell on the witness stand. She gave her evi- dence with perfect composure and the fullest self- possession.“ She gave ready responses to the ques. “ons asked. She wore a plain blue serge dress and Dlack bonnet. | Her whole style was that of simple elegance. She 1s tall,lithe and oat and has full, black glowing eyes, witha clear pailid complexion, She entered the ‘witness box amid profound silence, She was very pale, and testifed in a slo distinct voice. She said that until the family meet- ing at Thurloe square, in ‘she had exchanged letters daily with her husband when absent. fore their marriage Lord Colin asked if she would consent, when married, to their occupying sepa- Tate bedrooms, She consented, and colin asked her not to divulge the fact that he had made this request; but she insisted upon telling her mother. The nature of his illness was un- known to her until May, 1883. She never pressed Lord Colin to marry her, but her mother Aisttkea long engagements. Continuing, Lady Colin said she was educated in Italy, and spoke Italian and French before she learned the English language ‘She sang, painted, and wrote books, She was also a journalist. She sang at forty charity concerts, not one of which Lord Colin attended. she taught night classes of rectory: girls, visited the poor in the daytime and served soup for two hours, and worked daily among the poor of Saffron Hill. Lord Colin knew of every engagement, and of her work among the poor, and he never objected. She went into society afone at her husband's express wish, In order that the fact of his iilness should be unknown he wished it understood- that he was engaged in the house of com mons. Lord Colin accepted: ents for Doty and then desired herto go alone, Her husband went to Scotland in 1882 Without a nurse, and she attended him. She left him there in order to visit her mother. “He was better at that time and press- ed her to go. She felt ill the first five days after the consutnmation of the marriage. In November, 1881, she was very ili, and.was never free from Symptoms until 1885. Her sickness was of varied intensity; sometimes she suffered great pain. She spoke to her husband about her condition, and he “It's of no consequence; all women have that sort of thing.” In February, 1882, Lord Colin returned home, On one occasion while sitting be- side her couch “he began to ery, ang sala that people were very cruel in saying that he ought ‘not to have married on account of his health. ‘The same evening Lord Colin said it was better to be on the safe side, and he told her what précautions totake. she followed his direetions and it gave her great pain. She consulted Dr. Bird in Novem- ber, 1882, and he examined her. "In April, 188! she was seriously ill, and was ‘attended by Dr. Bird. Dr, Hicks was twice summoned. ‘An opera: Uon was done in October, 1883, and she afterwards improved. She did not ‘know the nature of her own or of her husband's illness, WHY ROSE, THE MAID WAS DISMISSED. Lord Colin urged her to dismiss Rose Baer, who, he said, gossipped about him in thexitchen. she (witness) objected, because she thought. Rose a food maid, Lord Colin insisted, and she gave amonth’s notice. She asked O'Neil what Hose had been saying.

She did not know what room the duke of Marlborough occupted. She never was at Purfleet. On the Saturday night of which she was accused of having been there with the Duke of Mariborough she went to the theater with a lady friend. On the sunday following she took tea with Lady Miles and dined with her mother, Mrs. Blood. “Referring to her visit to Paris in May, 1884, she said she was on her way to Italy. The meeting with the Duke of Marlborough was purely accidental, She was once taken {ll ata concert and wasin great pain, She drove to Dr. Bird's house and remained until the doctor pre- pared some medicine tor her, when she returned jome, arriving there at eleven o'clock. It was un- true ‘that she leaned her head upon Dr. Bird's shoulder while driving home. She gave an abso- lute denial to the evidence of Rose Baer, Mrs, Duffy, O'Neill ahd other witnesses, and declared she had never comunitted adultery with the Duke of Marlborough or any other man. ‘The case was then adjourned, oo____ Mad on His Wedding Das.

She was 4 Rowever, to overlook that defect and they. were married and went at once to Papillion. Fresh sur- prises awaited the fair bride the morning after her arrival. When she modestly requested to beshown, over his fine stock farm she was coolly informed that he did not possess any, but thot he earned an honest livelihood as porter’ of the hotel at which they stopped.

Seven years ago, all of a dozen jumps formed on my neck, ranging in size from acherry stone toan orange.
