One witness, Frank Thompson, having put in an appearance, he was at once sworn and placed on the stand. Witness said he was a brick- layer by trade, and had worked in the tunnel on three separate engagements. There wasno fault to be found with the brickwork. Under the dry-packing contract the stone was thrown in. Witness never saw it hammered or forced in. The mortar used by the bricklayers was generally good, but occasionally it would have too much sand in it. Witness com) whenever it was unsatisfactory. of brick used was good. Witness said that the bricklayers used to run the arch up eight or nine courses before the Telegrams to The Star. WEST VIRGINIA EXCITED.

He served formal notice Monday on the commissioners of election that he would demand a recount of the ballots in Kanawha and Putnam counties on ac- count of fraud, On the other hand the repub- licans will contest the election in Logan county on account of alleged intimidation, Though it will be late in the week, possibly next week, before the official count will be completed and the vote announced, eno known to make it ap kers commenced to @ at the sides of the arch, There were lots of places where the packing was ROLLED IN WITHOUT MORTAR, In packing over the key it was almost cus- tomary to build a face wall at the end of each section so as to give the work a finished appear- ance and to prevent the loose stone behind it from rolling out.

Loxpvon, Nov. 14.—The government narrowly escaped a defeat yesterday after Lord Church- ill’s speech denouncing: the jobbery and the shameful waste of public money in the court of judicature. The tory whips discovered that they could not secure a majority among the members actually in the precincts of the house. Thereupon Sir Richard Webster, W. L. Jackson and W. H.
