ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-Yestorday was a
bad day for the defense in the Star Route
cases. A lawyer, who is not connected
with the case, says the mastery cross-ex-
animation Of Buell. by Merrick, Govern
ment counsel, has broken down the de-
tense and confirmed Walsh's testimony in
its essential parts. L proved that Brady
bought two papers befe, the Capital and
Critic, and has been running them, as
Judge Wylie said, to libel, with the WITH
peration of hired ~scribblers, every one con-
nected with the administration Of justice,
and in this case the testimony showed that
Brady was spending money long ago at
an investigation in Congress to create fur
ther opinion in favor Of the Star Route
people, and the contractors were paid large
sums Of money in connection with the APP
preparation for star Eoutes in the last
Congress, which was called in vindication
OF Brady.
The River and s!arbOr Bill Veto.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-On the vote on
passing the River and Harbor bill over the
Presidents veto many pairs were an
nOunced, but the announcement was not
accompanied by the Clerks with a state
ment as to the way in which the paired
members would have voted, but it was
stated on the floor that McCook, Marcy,
Prescott and Cassidy would have voted in
the negative, and Pacheco, Thomas, Rus
sell, Frost, Martin, Covington, Muldrow,
Hooker and Mooney in the affirmative.
5000 Men out of Employ nleut.
CHICAGO, Aug, 3.-The Anglo-American
Packing and Provision Company has sus-
pended killing hogs, and 5000 men are
thereby thrown out of employment. The
scarcity and high price of corn has sent
that cereal to market instead of into hogs,
and grass will not make good packing hogs
for the foreign trade. In any event, Mr..
Fowler, the senior in the business, says
the Irish and German markets can under
sell him now. Other establishments are
running very light. A good corn crop
would bring great relief.
Extensive Railroad Building.
CHICAGO, Aug. 3.-The Railway Age has
figures showing that the total construction
of the main line of railroad for seven
it4bLltuS III i4At CulitU states HAS DtEil
more than 5000 miles. Should the pro-
portion hold good during the remainder
Of the year, the total mileage built for
1882 would be nearly $4,000, but it is not
likely to run over 10000 miles; although
as a rule, the heaviest work is done during
the latter months Of the year.

CHICAGO, Aug. 3.-Tho House Commit
tee on the Judiciary adopted 10 to u
Knott's resolution declaring the forfeiture
OF the lands granted to the Texas Pacific
