Again Johnson went to the bottom in search of the drown- ing man, but again failed to find him. John- son returned to the dock with another col- ored man and bagan dragging the river for Badge.

A witnoss named Gillis, who was brought hore from Texas, testifiod that ho was in Kingsley's office half an hour beforo the shooting. He told the position Kingsley occupied when he left him. Isaac Wood- ring, a gunsmith, testilied that he examined the rovolver found near Kingsley's body, and there were two ewpty cartridges and threo loaded ones, and cne of tho latter had - been snapped, but not ex- ploded. An attempt tas made to offer in evidence a hand made duplicate of tho suspender ring and bullet that were taken from Billings’ person, but it was roled out. Another witness testified to having seen blood on Billiugs’ sleeve at the inquest, but an examination of the coat showed no stains. A report is in cwculation to-night on the authority of a witness for the defense that there are two witnesses who will testify that they sold a revolver to a second party, who sold it to Kingsley, and they believe that the revolver found near the body to be the one they sold.

THE RIVER BaRRR) A Visit to the Rip Rappers Up the Missouri, Mayor Broateh, of the Missouri river com mission, Guy Barton of the swelting works, and a Ber representative enjoyed the cour- tesy extended by United States Engiveer Potter Tuosday of a trip up tho river in the government steamboat, Capitola Butt, to the placo where rip-rap work is being construct.. ed at the base of the Towa bluffs. The refroshing breeze, the purple haze veil- ing tho distany foatures of the protty land- scape and tho musical murmer of the water as it foll in o siivery spray behind the groat wheel, had & tendency to promote poetical musings rather than auggest thoughts of practical cugineering. But a two-hours’ struggle between paddle and current brought the boat to its destination, where objects of newer interest were met. The rip-rap work commences just five milos up the river from the now bridge, and when complotod will extend three miles south to a point two miles northenst of the smelting works. This expensive piece of engincering which will be paid for out of the coffers of Unclo Sam, prociudes the possibility of the mercurinl Missouri cutting out a now chan- nel for itself, as has been its wontin the past. It makes the two iron bridges over tho river permanent improve- ments iustead of possiblo useless spans over somo future Cut-off lake, and last of all, 1t aids navization by preventing sand bars, tho baue of all river comm and thut of the Missouri river in particular. At present the river is very low, the low- est it has boen ab this time in tho season for twenty-five years, and this intorfores some- what with the vapid progression of the work. Over one hundred and fifty men ure em- ployed and they are about” cqually divided on the stone and mattress work. Iwo lar floating hotels known as ‘“quarter boats,’ and each having a slecping capacity for 1 men, furnish accommodations to this bat- talion of workmen at meal time and at night. The method of ripraping is very in- teresting. First the perpendicular banks are slopod back by bydvaulic pressure. a four- inch hose,” throwing a powaerful stream of water being used for undermining the banks and sweeping the tumbling clods into the river. ‘Three men with a full outtit of rubber clothing are required to work this great hose and it is surprising how rapidly the banks, interlaced though they are with roots, melt away bofore its searching stream. The power is supblied by a huge engine 1 a craft called a “hydraulic grader’ that is moored near the shore. After the bank is slopea buck n shallow trench 1s dug at the top in which at intervals are placed logs four feet long that serve s a partial anchorage to the rip-rap work. These are covered with dirt after the mattr. k is secured to them with strong cable are then called “dead men.” Next piles about tiwenty feet 1 aro forced down into the mud and sand at the edge of tho water, and it is to these that the mattress 18 dircotly attached. The piles aro not driven, but forced into the mud, cach timber being first attached to a tubb that blows out a hole for it. When the pile is ink to the proper depth, the tube 18 un- fastened and pulled out’ und the dirt sevtles about the timber, ‘The weaving of the mats 1s also an inter- esting sight. ‘The mattress is composed of long poles of willow brush interwoven strongly togother and extends sixty feet from the bank into the water. Seven strong cables are interlaced with it parailel to the bauk, while from the inner to the outer cables are fastoned at ntervals short cables, also interwoven, and the whole mat, composed of iron ropes aud green willow: forms a barrier that defies the power of the watery elemont. The boat on which the continuous niattress is constructed, is of peculiar construction. In the lower part are the great reels from which are unrolled the three-fourth and tarec-cichth inch cables, while above the roof slopes to the water's edge on ono side, and as fast as the mat_is woven, the boat is floated down and the mattress is dropped into the water. On the mattr layer of rocks about a foot thick which si thie woven mass below the water and holds it against the bottom poerpetually and pre- vents all erosion of the banks. Meanwhile strong cables have been stretched from the piles to the *‘dead men” and neither storm nor flood can tear away the structure with the treble anchorage, Already about one thousand eight hundred fect of the bani has thus been reinforced, being only o: nintn of the work to be done and the remainder will hurdly be finished before cold weather.

The Ninth Ward Republican club claims to be the banner club of the ropublican de- nowination in the city, and if the attendance and enthusiusm manifested 8t the meeting held last night is any criterion, their claim 18 not one to be despised.

For president, Mr. W. L Kierstead was nominated, and there being no other candi- date, Mr. Kicrstead was elected by acclumu- tion. Upon taking the chair Mr. Kierstead had extended to #im, and, continuing, said that he was pleasod to sce such a large gathering at tho first meoting of the olu proparatory to the coming campaign; and it this could bo taken as critorion, more enthu- sinam could be expected from the ropublicans of the Ninth ward than over heretofore beon manifested. And, further, that no dis- sension had been manifosted in_any way and that the republicans of the Ninth ward conld undoubtedly pull together in harmony and good followship. Tt is too oarly," continued Mr. Kiorstead, *for us to expross any opinion as to oandi- datos, eithor for county or for city offices. Tho bost wo can do now is to perfect our or- ganization, and when tho timo comes we will make the Ninth ward club felt as a power in bagh the city and county conventions and elections,” Rousing speechos were also made by M.
