Lrvenroor, Aug. 5.—In the Maybrick trial this morning Prof. McNamara, ex-president of the Irish college of surgeons, testified that Maybrick’s death was due to gastro-interitis and not to arsenic. Prof. Paul, toxicological examiner of Victoria university, deposed that it would take months toel arsenic from the system if it were taken more than twice. Maybrick’s sym he said, accorded with those of gastro-in' A chemist testified that often pur- chased fly paper for use as a cosmetic, and a hair-dresser testified to the frequent use of arsenic for the complexion. Ex-Mayor Poole of Liv 1 testified that Mr. Maybrick told him that he had habitually used poisonous medicines. ‘The prisoner read a statement setting forth that she had bought fly papers for use as cos- metics for many years.

Herewa, Mont., Aug. 5.—Later information in regard to the fire at Spokane Falls showed that forty business blocks had fallen a prey to the flames, It was definitély ascertained that the Northern Pacific depot and all the public buildings in the city were carried away in the general havéc. ‘The first estimate received placed the loss by conflagration at $30,000,000. Spokane was one of the most prominent of the many new cities in the infant state of Washing- ton, situated on the line of the Northern Pacific railroad, close to Coeur @’ Alene mining ‘region. ‘The city has been the site for many large industrial establishments such as smelters and kindred enterprises.

The long fight over who should have the contract for resurfacing Pennsylvania avenue has at last come to an end, the contestants hav- ing arranged matters satisfactorily, the Barber Asphalt company paving from 1st to7th streets, and the Cranford company from 7th to 17th. The Barber company will not be known in the con- tract, but will receive the same amount of money from the Cranford company that they receive from the Commissioners, This arrangement will hurry the work considerably, as each com- pany will put out its entire force, and make every effort to finish the work before the meeting of the triennial conclave of Knights Templar in October, : WHAT CAPT. SYMONS SAYS, In speaking of the work to Capt. Symons he said that of course he couldn’t tell when the work would be completed. The Avenue, he said, was never in greater need of repair,andit was his purpose to have the work commenced imme- iately. It all depends upon the railroad, he said they could retard the work considerably, but if they would put a force of men to work immediately upon the receipt of the proper grades he had little doubt but that the a Lynch, J.

The child ‘was about three months old when he under- stood the child had died. He thought that he paid 8 per month, By the court.—Witness received a note from Hilton; went to see him, and they went to Massachusetts and New Jeraey avenues, Fa the way Hilton telling him that the child &ied of cholera infantum. Hilton said that he would attend to thing. First heard some two or three weeks since from a gentleman that trouble was brewing. Dr. Merriam testified that Mrs. Fisher had achild which was said to have been found in the capitol about January 1, 1881. In 1882 there were three children at Mrs. Fisher's and one between three and four months old died of cholera infantum. Witness was under the im- pression that it was a female child. Officer Philip Marsfield produced the record of the sixth precinct January 1, 1881, showing that ‘‘a colored man brought to that station a colored male child-about two months old.” NO RECORD OF DEATH. J. O. McGinn, chief clerk of the health office, testified that search had been mafie for the record of the deathof a male child named Fisher about this time, but failed to find it. iton subse- juently informed witness that the eoha was Aceh ao tacos, ve him money to pay for funeral, and Hilton afterwards sho’ him the receipt. Witness did not go in the house, but Hilton did, and he came out with tears in Notwithstanding the recent decision of Be licitor Hepburn, adverse to the of the foreign professors engaged by Bishop Keane last winter for the Catholic univer- sity at Washington, those gentlemen will come to this country and take the places for which they are intended. The educators in ques tion are the Rev, Dr. Schroeder of the Cologne seminary, for dogmatic theology; Rev. Dr. Banquillon of the university st Lille, moral theology; Dr. Hyvernat of the Appol- onari at Rome, holy scriptures; Rev. Dr. Joseph Pohle of Fulda, philosophy, and Charles War- ren Stoddard, English ligerature, . It will be remembered that after the ren- dering of Mr. Hepburn’s opi the matter was carried before Attorney Miller, hoping for a reversal of decision, but the At torney General declined to take up the case, onthe ground that, as yet, it was cal. He would give no opinion until the ar- rival in this country of the persons referred to, Since that time, however, everything has been arranged, it is understood to the entire satisfaction of the university suthori- ties, They have been given assurances that their foreign educators will not be interfered with, so a gentleman—a government official of high standing—stated -y. . There will be no difficulty whatever, he said, and the professors will be permitted to question. If, any quarter, it will be decided, and very prop- erly too, by competent authority, that the law providing for the exclusion of Isbor under eon- krect, was not intended to epply to this class of people, essary that they might complete their returns by the time set by law.

THE NUMERICAL-BOOK CONTRACT, This numerical book is s record of all the Property in the District of Columbia, with the various squares end subdivisions arranged numerically. It has been the cus- tom hitherto to award to some responsi- ble person the work of compiling this work with the understanding that the compila- tion be done by clerks who during the dsy work in the District assessor's office; this was done because the clerks were familiar with the work and could do it with greater accuracy and much more dispatch. This year, under the late Commissioners, the contract was pléced in the hands of Geo, E. Walker by Assersor Fish, Walker agreeing todo the entire job for the sum of $4,964. He at once employed # num- ber of the clerks in the assessor's office to work for him on the compilation, and for their serv- ices he remunerated them at the hourly rate of seventy-five cents. This was what a i disposed person would call “pre” FOR THE CLERKS, and some of them displayed a willingness to burn the midnight oil until midnight had gone by three or four hours.

THE COMMITTEE ON HOTELS, of which Allison Naylor, jr., is chairman, also held a meeting Saturday night and it was de- cided to appoint subcommittees to attend to the work of securing quarters for the com- manderies, The greater part of this work has heretofore devolved on the chairman. The following subcommittees were appointed, who during the weeks named will atiend to the duty of finding quarters for all commgnderies which may opply: From August 5 to 11 inclusive and September to 15 inclusive, F.

In addition to the regu- force it was found n to harp an additional clerk, whose salary bed ges out of the appropriation. And it is right here that the assessors stick a pin and say that it was unfair to pay this clerk $459 out of their appropriation. They also hold that the compilation of the numerical book could have been satisfactorily made in the assessor's office during the regular hours of toil without se- <7 injuring the constitutions of any of the clerks, Strange About a week ago Mrs. Isaac Miller, residing near Reading, Pa, attended ao funeral in the neighborhood.
