THE NAVY YARD.
What Is Being Done in Dredging the Eastern
Branch.
Estimated Value OF the Improvement
General Notes OF Other Work.

The Washington navy yard presented a
scene of activity and hustle yesterday. Civil
Engineer Menocal, who is in charge Of the
dredging operations, said yesterday
in answer to inquiries, that opera
tions were progressing favorably.
The total appropriation by congress
for dredging the Eastern branch amounted
to $4,000 of which amount 100000 1has
already been expended. The purpose is to
dredge the Eastern branch from the navy
yard to its connection with tho Potomac
river at Arsenal point. There is already q
channel the entire distance, of 125 feet the
least width and Is feet depth at the lowest
water The work being done now is an
effort to increase the width of the channel In
front of the yard to a width of 300 feet and
Is feet dep tn at low water. As the chan
mol and yard front are now tho larger
United Stat es vessels cannot come to the
navy yard, the Tallapoosa being the largest.
1t is proposed, however, that ultimately any
vessel in the navy can reach this
point. Engineer Menocal thinks il is
desirable that they should, in order
to receive directly their own anchors,
boilers, chains, and cannon, which will here
after be manufactured at the Washington
yard.
The total amount of dredged material al
ready removed from the channel is 125,000
cubic yards, at n cost of Ii cents per yard, in
Cu ding all attendant expenses. If congress
ma kes another approximation the authorities
hope to get q width of 400 yards in from t
of the navy yard and a 200 feet
channel to the arsenal. If congress does not.
it will be impossible for large men-of-war to
"get up" even after all of the present appro-
priation is expended. The material is
dumped on the surrounding flats and in such
other positions that it cannot run back into
the channel. The average cost of tho above
work last month was only cents per cubic
yard, while that of the Potomac flats
| amounted to "a cents. The work at the navy
| yard employs one large dredge, three scows,
two tugs, and seven men.
! One of the large steel guns ON which the
or nance department has been Mt work is
nearly completed 1t will be tested at the
experimental battery near Annapolis, Md.
The steamer Speedwel will be put upon
the railway next week and her bottom painted
in sections with ten or twelve different patent
them in both fresh and salt water. The test
will be watched with interest by naval officers
and constructors.
The fish commission steamer Albatross is
expected to leave in about ten days for the
| West Indies where collection of rare fishes
| will be made.
The Talapoosa is loading at the yard with
eight compound cylindrical boilers for the
United States corvette Marion, now fitting
out at the Portsmouth IN. H. navy yard for
an extended cruise.
1t is the opinion of the navy yard officials
] that when the Eastern branch channel is
| completed, according to the project to the
| Potomac ut Arsenal point, land along the
shore will increase doubly in value, and
wharves and warehouses will spring up like
magic

In the probate court yesterday Justice
Hagner received letter from j. w. Potter
United States consul at Crefeld, Germany,
stating that he had no doubt but that August
Geek, who committed suicide at the National
hotel in this city, on Dec. Z, 1882, was August
Hambrucher, whose mother and sister live at
Crefeld. They are highly respectable people,
and are anxious to establish the identity of
Geek beyond doubt and get possession of his
effects. Mr.. Potter will be responsible for
any expense incurred. He incloses re-
port of the war department showing
that an investigation was made last
July. Geek had lost both legs be-
low the knee, the left arm, and
all the fingers and half the thumb of the
right hand by smputation, caused by being
frost bitten. On the morning ON which he
was found dead by his attendant the latter
stated that Geek had given him his gold
watch and only a few articles of clothing, his
discharge, and some letters and memoran-
DUN book were found. An entry in the book
on Dec. 81, 1881, showed that he valued his
estate at $19,9i2.A. Justice Hagner directed
Mr.. McChntock at the time of the death to
retain possession of everything until inquiries
were made. Judge Hagner yesterday directed
that McCintock be notified to bring in the
papers next week.
