THE NAVAL INVESTIGATION IN PHILA-
DELPHTA.-The Philadelphia Times pub
fishes a long article foreshadOwing the work
OF Investigation by the House Committee on
Naval Expenditures, which met In that city
yesterday. According TO the Times there is
q loss TO the government of $500 900 by The
favOritism shown to contractors. The first
charge enumerates that Nathaniel Mckay,
OF Boston, who had the contract for the re-
moval of the Philadelphia navy yard for
$50 600, bought off William Simpson and
Charles Martin, who offered to do the work
for S2S zoe; that In the removal of scow loads
OF material there was copper boiler valued
at $4,000 taken, but afterwards returned;
that while only thirty tons of iron were
bought, wagons were employed for weeks in
hauling the material TO different places and
the b9rges bound TO League Island were
stopped at the paint house and unloade1 of
iron, which was afterwards hauled back to
the city. 1t also has transpired that piles of
copper were covered with old iron, and sold
as the latter material. The committee also
expect to have some further testimony rela-
tive TO the manner In which the money for
advertising the sale of the yard was ex-
pended.
A New York dispatch to the Chicago TrI-
bune says: "Mrs. General Roddy, or that
city, has been subpenaed before the House
Committee on Naval Appropriations to tes-
tify against Robson. Mrs. Roddy has re-.
fused 10 go unless her counsel, John D. Town
send, is permitted to accompany and advise
her before the committee"
Mr.. Mckay, in a dispatch from Phiiadel-
phia, denounces the statements against him
as "false and scurrilous."

A srcoSp TRIAL AT MARRIAGE Also 4

"A SECoND TRIAL AT MARRIAGE Also
FA1LURK-The Portland Oregonian OF Feb.
IL has the following story OF real life; "A
suit Tor divorce has been commenced in the
state circuit court for this county which is
somewhat romantic To say the least. TIE
facts concerning the same are sub~tsatiaily
as follows: The plaintiff and defendant were
married In one OF the eastern states when
quite young. For time the course OF true
love ran smoothly In this case, however
the course was brief MISUNDERSTANDING
were of frequent occurrence, until finally re-
lief was sought for In q court OF equity, and
twain the eilken cords &C. Both parties mar
lied again, the husband with his second wife
seeking home In this far-of country, aud
remaining at the old home. The heart aud
home of the husband was blessed by the ad-
dition of two bright and promising children,
woo are now grown to womanhood. After a
lapse OF some years that grim monster
death, claimed the husband of the defendant
and the wife OF plaintiff as his own. The de-
PENDANT being again alone, and somewhat
advanced In years, profited by the advice of
the late lamented H. g. and went west
arriving In this city some four years ago.
Among the first persons she met on arriving
here was her long lost and long separated
husband. The spark in the boSoms of each
was famed until 1t kindled to blsze. They
were married, lived together about three
years, took up the old quarrel where they
left ii thirty years aso. and again have
sought ior relief in a court OF equity"
CUTTIsG HARD STEFL WITH SoFr
1RoN.-JaCob Reese of p t,sburg had been
endeavoring 10 construct a machine ~ cut
hardened cold steel He accomplished IL at
length by means of q saw OF soft wrought
iron merely a circular disc-rotating at
high velocity. With low speed this would
not cut at all; but when running at about
25,CfO feet per minute the disc cut through
steel rapidly, giving out an immense ca cafe
or sparks Ia the operation. II was fDIud
on examining The De bris beneath the disc
that The particles OF steel were not sImoIy
rrbted of. They were welded together i'm n
pyramid like stalsgmite or the snow icicleS
formed on the top of Mount Washington
Prof. Hendrick ascertained that real fusion
had taken place ann ng the particles OF steel.
The disc is very little heated. but the steel is
actually melted and dr. ps down. Yet the bar
on each side o. tire cut is not heated enough
10 draw the temper or oXidlze the me al.
Solid bars OF steel OF two inches or three
inches in diameter are thus cut through in
as ma Y minutes. The soft metal disc is
about ~ Inches in diameter. The naked
hand may be passed through the iat or
stream Of flying sparks during the operation
without being burned, since the particles of
melted metal are in the condition known as
the spheTodal state.
