People who live on the down-grade In the
vicinity Of reservoirs, sleep with one eye open
since the Massachusetts disaster. The Phila.
delphiaus, the Star says. are excited over the
discovery that the Roxborough reservoir has
been leaking for some time. The Water De.
partnent there says, that the leakage 'sonlyD
amounts to twenty gallons a minute, but as
that Is p 800 every twenty four hours, the peo-
pie who live below think il about time the little
leak was repaired.
Some sOlicitude has been expressed in regard
TO the high service reservoir In GEORGETOWN,
and the reservoirs above on the line of the aque-
duct, but those who are familiar with the tho
rough manner in which these seryoirs were
constructed under the immediate charge of
Gen. Meigs, understand that there is no con-
ceivsble possibility OF an accident there of the
kind that occurred on Mill river. In the up-
river reservoirs the water is shallow and the
pressure consequently light; but even 10 they
should burst their barriers, they would empty
into the river at once, and at a point where
there would be no loss OF life and little OF pro-
perry The GeorgetoSn reservoir has walls of
bricks, cemented and bound in a way to be
able TO sustain pressure many times that they
are called upon to bear.

largest Circulatiea in the District
Reading Matter on Every Page
WASHINGTON. CITY;
May 10, 1874.

Several important measures affecting the in
terests OF the District OF Columbia were favor
ably acted upon yesterday by the House. The
bill providing for the widening Of the draw OF
the long bridge, and that 1t shall be opened at
all times on proper signal by vessels, and which
WAS among the bills passed, ought to pass the
Senate without unnecessary delay. Ever since
the war the draw has been closed ut sunset
daily, and consequently all vessels bound to
Georgetown or down the stream which reached
the draw Eve inmates after sunset have been
obliged to cast anchor and wait until sunrise
next morning, thus losing twelve hours OF val
liable time, and causing disappointment, and
In many cases positive loss to persons having
goods on the vessels consigned 70 them. It Is to
be regretted that Mr.. willard insisted upon his
motion TO refer the bill pro vidIng for the con-
struction Of new Navy Yard bridge 20 the
Committee OF the Whole. Had he not insisted
on his POINT, the bill would have doubtless
passed, in view of the fact that the necessity of
new structure Is generally conceded, and that
the sum which 10 is proposed 10 appropriate Is
much smaller than the one named in the orig.
nal bill, which was defeated q few weeks ago
in the House. We hope the same body will
think better Of the present bill when it comes
before them for action.

THE COURTS.
THE CALENDAR TRIAL,

At the resumption yesterday in the United
States Circuit Court OF the second trial OF ex Bank
Examiner Charles Calendar, for accepting a bribe Of
$5OoO reporting favorably the condition OF the
Ocean National Bank, the re-cross-e examination OF Mr.
Stevenson President Of that Bank was continued
ExJudge Fullerton asked hin If the lent to Cal
lendar would not have been repaid had 1t not been for
the Chicago FIRE. Mr. Purdg objected, ana Judge
Benedict excluded the question. The redirect ex'
animation was then resumed, but it devel-
oped nothing new except that no bad debts
charged against the $4,000 surplus fund
which the bank had in 1870; that in 1869 the witness
used c. j. TaylOrs in borrowing $1,000 from the
hank, and John Burnett's name in obtaining about
$4,000 from it. In explaining those transactions Mr.
Stevenson said tha Tay and Burnett allowed hlm 10
use their names for the purposes specified Mr. Purdy
then made another attempt to find out how much IN The
shape of overdrafis Mr. Stevenson owed tile bank, but
memory still failed him in that particular. Theodore NJ.
Davis the receiver OF the Ocean National Bank repeated
his testimony about the banks having Oct. t. 1871
sl46592 ga In suspended renewed paper and about
Cacndars owing IL at that time $1,000. Mr. DAVIS then
gave his long and heretofore published account OF the
items which make up those accounts While he was
ties flying concerning them the irascbilty of counsel
broke out very strongly, and Judge Benedict had
siderable difficulty IN restraining 10.
