TRIAL OF BENJAMIN GOLLY FOR PERJURY.
Yesterday afternoon in the Criminal Court,
Judge Macarthur, the trial of the case of Ben
jamin Golly, indicted for perjury in the Belt
divorce case, was continued-Messrs. Jere. NJ.
Wilson and D. w. Classic for the defendant,
and District Attorney WorthingtOn prose-
cutting Testimony was given as to the issuing
of the commission to Messrs. F. T. Browning
and g. L. K. Lewis to take testimony in this
District.
This morning the district attorney read from
the bill and crOSS-bill in the Belt case and the
exhibits Of the latter.
Mr.. +. I. Browning, testified to Golly having
been witness, and said that with some other
witnesses they signed a page which was after
required by the Maryland court that the depo-
sitIOnS be signed. On crOss-eXaminatiOn, wit
ness said he believed the sheet signed was not
the same Kind of paper the deposition Is
printed upon; The signature was not attached
to the end OF his testimony, for he came back
with an explanation which was taken down
and put In, and this is between the first depo-
sition and the explanatory deposition.
MIR: w. II. Smith. the stenographer, testified
to taking the testimony, and that he believed
Golly returned and signed 1t, but could not
say that he did. On crosS-eXaminatiOn he said
he was under the impression after examining
the pound testimony that he signed before the
testimony was written out.
Mr.. Ii. w. Garnett testified that Golly came
back after his deposition was written out and
also to make corrections, but he could not say
that ne signed it.
Testimony was then offered to show that
The defendant raised the question of variance
between the testimony and the allegation, and
long argument followed, in which the district
attorney claimed that the crime had been COM
pleted when he left the stand, and it was imma-
terial whether he signed it or not; that It made
no difference as to the date.

controller Durham, in his letter Of recon-
menoations concerning the District estimates,
which was mentioned in The STAR yesterday,
says nrst that the form In which the estimates
are presented is unusual and should bechanged
With relation to the proposed increased sala-
such increases are given, and he therefore re-
conmenos that the matter 60 to Congress with
out either approval or disspproval. The esti-
mates for the streets not being in detail he
recommends that they be sent to Congress
without approval. AS to the erection OF school
buildings and the employment of teachers, he
says the division or district in which the
schools are to be built and their cost should be
given, ana the number Of teachers and the SAL
airy OF each. he recommends that the attention
OF congress be called to this matter and that
proved. He thinks that $4,000 contingent ex-
penses is too large. He recommends disap-
Hrotai OF any increase in the expenditures un-
ger the health Office, as sections 10 and IL, act
June 1l,1S7S, nix limit. The old question OF
now much OF the expense of the government
insane asylum the District should bear is again
raised, II being held that the Commissioners
estimate Is not enough.
NEW QUESTION Is RAISED
with regard to the District courts and the Jail.
The controller calls attention to the fact that
the District bears half the expense of the work
house, and not any Of the expense of the jail;
also, that the Police Court is the only of the
courts of which the District bears any share OF
the expense. He recommends that the atten-
tion OF Congress be called TO this, as he thinks
1t proper that the District should bear half the
expenses of jail and OF all the District courts
This letter has been sent to the Secretary of
the Treasury, but no action has yet been taken
upon 1t by him.

The Condition of the Long Bridge.

THE CAUSEWAY TO BE MACADAMIZED.
The complaints as to the condition of the
Long bridge, now used by the Pennsylvania
railroad system, which have found their way
into the papers and brought about a con-
troversy as to who has supervision over the
bridge, nave not been useless, for orders have
been received by the road department OF the
railway to put the causeway in order without
delay. The causeway will be macadamized as
soon as the broken stone can be procured and
hauled. AS regards safety to bear any weight
likely to be put upon it, the bridge is now as
sound as ever. as it has not been much over a
year since every timber in 1t was inspected and
all unsOund ones replaced. About the same
time the causeway and approaches to the bridge
were graveled thoroughly, and in the early
part OF this season more gravel was put upon
it, The travel on it has been heavy and the
weather having been exceedingly, dry the
gravel has been cut into ruts and the road had
become very dusty.
The District Commissioners wrote to Mr. H.
Fl. Carter, the superintendent of the road, as to
the condition OF the bridge. and without cOnsid-
ertng the question as to who had the SUPER
vision, Mr.. Mckeever and the officials here
were directed to at once put the causeway in
good order.

RUSSIAN TROOPS AT vARNA.

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct 2S.-The Herold, Ger

are 400 troops on board the Russian cruisers
dispatched 10 Narna, and that they have orders
10 occupy that city IL the Russians who ver,e
Illegally arrested are not released.
lhe journal de ~. Petersburg says: The
hesitation displayed by the Bulgarian regency
ia snminonlng the sobranje, aud the fact that
the deputies To that body are delaying their
departure Tor I1rnova are symptoms OF a more
concillatory attitude. The condition of affairs
however, is aggravated by the au thorfties who
manifest little disposition to enforce respect for
international law, compelling Russia 10 send

The N0roe lremyd says: The dspatching Of
