are there will not be another for week at
least.

attempting to influence the vote Of Juror

were they, strictly speaking, in his Gus
tody. They had, he understood, been
taken from his safe, and were now in the

THE POTOMAC FLATS.
A few days ago bids we've opened by
Mayor Haines for dredging the Potomac
flats, number OF which were submitted
by western dredging companies, The low
est bid was thai of Washington firm.
Haines is of the opinion, however, that the
parties in the city haven't the facilities to
accomplish the work. Unless proven that
they can do the work without delay, it is
thought probable the contract will be
awarded to the lowest western bidders.
