New Haven, Coxn., Nov. 2.—The- thorough canvass of the state made by the prohibition league gives Fisk 6,600 votes and Camp for governor 10,000. Camp, the itionists say, will run ahead of the national ticket be- cause he is well known as one of the leading philanthropists in Connecticut, and because many republicans will vote for Harrison and the other ‘nominees on their ticket, but not for Bulkeley, repub- lican candidate for governor, because of his political and personal utation. Col. Marvin Knowlton, of Willimantic, a prominent prohibitionist, has visited 122 of the 167 towns of the state. From his own observations and from the information furnished b; d- ents in the 167 towns, he is confitent that the prohibition vote will be 6,000, and has received i es of over 5,000.

The Military Court Continues Its Inves- tigation To-day. INSPECTOR LUCAS TELLS OF HIS EFFORTS TO PRE- VENT BAD YORE—HE RECEIVED PaY FROM THE CONTRACTORS 48 WELL 48 FROM THE GOVERN- ‘MENT. The military court of inquiry investigating the bad lining in the new aqueduct tunnel con- yened at the War Departmentat 1 o'clock to-day. It was intended at the time of adjournment yesterday to begin again with the examination of witnesses at 10 o'clock this morni pots delay in the preparation of th cal the court to Shange thetr minds, and the hour of to-day'’s session was until 1 of before time the court met oe recorder reading the recor Tuesday's and Wednesday's pro- ceedings, This took nearly half an hour. Then Inspector “eye! recalled to the stand. Col. Craig- began his examination. Lucas stated that he voluntarily performed services for the con- tractor by seeing that good work was done. He had to direct the men and compel them by or- ders to do the work. There were several fore- men of the masons, George Kendall being one. He was inclined to force the work beyond its capacity, and Lucas was kept in a fight all the time to keep the work right. He undoubtedly considered it his duty at times to interfere, because Kendall did not perform his duty ina proper manner. In explanation he referred to the work done at the place called “Malone's Bend,” in East Champlain heading, where his duties had to be divided between two places, In passing between them HE FOUND BAD WORK BEING DOXE continually, and he had hard work to keep it straight. He reported this fact to Kerlin, but not to Lieut. Townsend. He received 50 cents an hour from the contractors in addition to his pay from the Government. This was for re- eae Leta Epa He could not remember trom he received the money, but he re- ceived it, nevertheless. The period for which he received this extra r= just before O'Brien was seceees. sub-contractors employed rick ma- sons. Some men were employed whom witness had to put out of the tunnel BECAUSE THEY WERE INOOMPETENT. In his opinion the packers were common labor- ers and not mechanics. He thought, however, that they could do the work, which was differ- ent from that of building retaining walls, and did not require much skill. About the same gang of men were continued on the work, except ome man named Martin, who was “too shrewd a packer for me, and I objected to him.” He was sent away to the west end of the tunnel. In resj to aquestion by Lieut. Townsend he said that he had received in- structions to discharge any bad workmen whom he might discover. 4 COLORED PACKER'S STORY. Lucas was then discharged, and Henry Jones, a colored man, was called. He testified that he is a laborer and was employed on the aque- duct tunnel from the 18th of last June to Aug. 23. He worked in East Champlain heading as a “packer, as some one called it.” Mr. O'Brien, he said, must have hired him. There were two more packers with him. His first work was at night. FIRST TIME HE HAD EVER BEEN IN A TUNNEL. He packed with stone andcement. It was the first time that he had been in a tunnel. He first flung in some stone with his hands and then threw in a liftle cement with a trowel. All of his work at night was over the top of the arch. Sometimes he had orders to pack on one bay and more frequently on two. Once he had orders to wait until three bays were up. He received his orders from O’Brien. When he was packing at two bays at once he could not put the packing back more than four feet, and had no instrument to push the stones back. He did not carry the packing up to the roof of the tunnel, but holes were left above the stones. In’ places he carried up the stones to the top whenever he had a chance to do it. Usually he was not allowed to do so, e work was carried up to the top at the end of every center, Witness ought that about a third of each center was left with holes above the packing. In the packing on the sides there was more stone than mortar. In some places he would put about a foot of stone and then cover it with mortar. Sometimes the mortar which was thin, was poured in from a bucket. At other times it was thick and stiff, and could be put in with a trowel, It was not the same as that used by the bricklayers. In the Howard Uuiversity heading he worked in the day time and did the same kind of work. e packing over the arch was no better than in the other heading and also the side packing. In reply to # question by Col. Craighill witness said that he began his night work at about 5 o'clock. Mr. O’Brien was THE BOSS OF THE GANG. The stones used in packing were rough and varied in size from as large as a man’s head to so large that two men could hardly lift them. | No shovel was ever used in putting in the stones. The biggest stone that he put over the key was as big as one man could lift. He had to lift such a stone about as high as his waist and roll itover the arch as well as he could. He did not know why the stones were put in. Mr. O'Brien stood on the platform almost all the time. Witness threw the mortar with his trowel with a kind of dab; knew that it went some- where on some of the stones, but was not sure where. He knew that there was a hole behind the stones, but THOUGHT THAT THAT WAS THE WAY TO DO IT, No one seemed to care; Mr. O'Brien told him to throw the stuff in, but never told him thatsuch work was not right, Upon. a straight question from Col. Craig- hill he said that he did not really know what packing means, but thought it meant dashing stones into the place above the arch. His pay envelope had the word packer on it, Captain Chester then asked his first ques- tion, learning that the witness was first told to come to the court to testify last night. Previous to this time, about two or three weeks ago, a young man came to his house and asked him if he had worked in the tunnel, and witness told him all he knew about the tunnel. No one had ever told him what to say. Nobody dischar; him, but he just came out himeelf because“ of a “rash” word one of the masons used towards him. He worked one night in the Rock Creek heading, and did this same kind of bad work that was discovered. He never worked there as a packer again at night, but did in the day. White he was wor ing under Mr. “Mac” be worked much harder and better than under Mr. O'Brien. THE EXAMINATION OF WITNESH | CONCLUDED. At 3 o'clock the tunnel court of inquiry con- cluded the examination of wttness’ and de- cided to adjourn until 10 o'clock Monda; morning. ‘ He Was Shot in the Arm. 4 BOY WOUNDED BY A PISTOL-SHOT FIKED FROM A TRAIN. ‘Wednesday evening two Baltimoreans, under the influence of liquor, got on a train at the Baltimore and Ohio depot and started for their home.

Important Changes in the Adjutant Gen- eral’s Office. ‘The various changes in the personnel of the Adjutant General's Department of the Army, ending with the relief of Col. Henry C. Wood from duty in this city, have, it seems, all been tending to a general reorganization of the work of that bureau as performed in the De- partment offices here. Heretofore the work has been divided among six assistant adjutant- generals—Cols. Kelton, Green and Wood, and Majors Sheridan, Ward and Schwau. Gen, Drum yesterday issued an order divid- ing the work of his Department into two branches—that of the regular organization of the Army, and that pertaining to all matters connected with the volunteer service, Col.

The Best Attendance of the Fall Meet- ing at Ivy City. ‘This was the greatest race day yet, so far as attendance and good racing went. The weather was splendid, warm and balmy, even for Ivy City. The grand stand was crowded and quite brilliant with the handsome autumn toilets of the ladies, The messenger boys ke the ~ hot between the grand stand and the pee lawns. In tle infield were more dsomer and more stylish turnouts than any day before, and quite a number of ladies and gentlemen came out on horseback. The track was very fast, and the infield in fine condition. As usual, when there is a jumping race on the p m, the ladtes were in large numbers, and exclaiming with a mildly ghoulish anticipation of disaster: “Oh, I'm so “oe there is > be a steeplechase; I do ope there won't an accident!” The fields are large and the horses as a general thing well matched. The struggle for the Potomac stakes had narrowed down to three contestanta, Badge, Marauder, and Barrister. The talent was on the lookout for good thi to-day, for if it don’t recover itself to-day and. to-morrow it will have to walk home or brave the ele- ments without at cont. McLaughlin his third mount for the meeting on Telie Doe in the first race. FIRST RACE, There were eight starters in the first race, for one mile: King Crab, 106 (Littlefield); Defense, 109 (Martin); Judge Murray, 109 (Hamilton); Telie Doe, gf eg mg 7, Need T, 0 (Covington); King Idle, 109 (Taylor): Specialty, 106 (Paymer); Carnegie, 118 (Lewis). Telie Doe's Washington admirers were confident of her success notwithstanding her failure yester- day, and she was a decided favorite in the books. The betting Telie Toe 11-5, straight 4-5 lace; Judge Murray 2-1 straight, 6-5 place; fense, 4-1 straight. 2-1 place; Crrnegie, 12-1 straight, 4-1 a and King Crab, Wheeler, T. King Idle and Specialty, 15-1 straight and 6-1 place. They made y fair start at the second attempt. King was slightly in the lead followed by Telie Doe. They ran without change to the stretch, where McLaughlin brought Telie Doe to the front, and she won handily in 1:44, King Crab second and Judge Murray third. BRONZOMARTE WINS THE SECOND. The following horses started in the seo ond race for a mile and an eighth: Bradford, 116 (Lewis); Vosburg, 106 (Hay- ward, jr.); Frank Ward, 106 (Taylor); Bronzo- marte,106 (Palmer); Kaloolah, 104 (Covington); Now or Never, 100 (Littlefield); Pocatello, re (Tabor); Boaz, 110 (Hamilton). Bradford was the favorite at 11-5 straight, 45 place; Frank Ward 5-1 to win, 6-5 % Now or Never and Vosburg 6-1 Phas ney} place; Pocatello and Bronzomarte 7-1 straight, and 6-5 place; Boaz 15-1 to win, and 6-1 place, and Kaloolah 20-1 to win, and 8-1 place. Bronzomarte led at the start, and was never headed, winning easily in 1.56%, four lengths ahead of Bradford, who in turn was length ahead of Boaz. THE THIRD RACE, one mile and @ quarter, was won by Badge, Barrister second, Marauder third. Time 2:14. SEYMOUR'S SPEED YESTERDAY. There was another good day's racing at Ivy City yesterday. The event of the day was the capital stakes for two-year olds at three-quar- ters of a mile, and it resulted in a splendid contest. Mr. Cassatt’s Madstone wi the favorite, but Senorita, McLaughlin’ mount, was the st est kind of « tip, Champagne Charley, in spite of his penalty, received substantial support. Sey- mour’s owner thought he would win almost sure, and before the race told a party of friends in the club-house that his colt would certainly be first or second. Had the colt been differently ridden it is more than probable he would have been first past the post. Going up the back stretch he was in a very fair position, but next the rails, Ham- ilton, thinking he would not be able to get through, took the colt to the outside, and when the turn was tried to change his position and co: on the inside. Although he came very fast he could not quite reach Champagne Charlie, who won a good race by half a length with Sey- mour fully three lengths before Holiday. Holi- day, by the way, showed some of her old time speed, but like most horses that have suffered with throat troubles she couldn't stay the route, Father Bill Daly won the next two races, the first with Bronzomarte and the second with Glory. Both horses, won from end to end, as race-horse people say. Glory was entered to be sold for $1.30 and Byron McClelland, who ran second with Wahsatch, ran her up to #1,410. Doctor Street's filly, Deception, ran a race and she should be a good filly next year.
