Maggie Hennecke, of whom nothing has
been heard since her sudden taking of, more

patches yesterday, Mrs. Nelson, not feeling

ton of calling physician. She told the
members Of her family that she would re-
turn in short time; but, so far as known,
she has not been seen since she left the
house. She did not call at the doctors, and
her disappearance was as sudden as though
the ground had opened aud swallowed her.
She is described as being about thirty years
of age and very prepossessing in personal
appearance. The following description
has been furnished TO the police officers

Hughes, inspector of the jetties, testified that
the depth in the channel of the jetties was
maintained through dredging. He did not
krow whether nature would, unassisted,
msinisin the channel there or not. The ex-
pertinent had not been tried. In his opin-
ion, shoals would form at the head of the
jetties without dredging. The committee
adjourned to meet at Washington.
The evidence thus far has developed very
serious questions as TO the wisdom of many
of the large expenditures upon the river,
and the committee will not make any report
till very full testimony upon all branches Of
