LIvERMoRE FALLS, July 16.-Work be-

Portions of the coffee dam were torn away
yesterday and the water let into the fiume.
A crew of men were also at work clearing
out the raceway. The mill is of brick and is
a we'll built structure. 1t is two stories in
height. The dimensions are 1853 by To- Work
was commenced on it last September. On
the first or basement floor there are nine d.
T. Mills pulp grinders, and a large hydraulic
pump. On the second floor are two Emery
grinders and eight machines for taking the
pulp off in sheets. The woodroom, which is
equipped with the most modern machinery,
will be on this floor.
The mill is finished in hard pine. The ca
pacity of the mill is 20 tons daily Of pulI
board, or 60 tons Of wet pulp.
A crew of about 40 men will be required

CRIME IN KENNEBEc.
A Prospect That the Fate Of Britt
May be cleared Up.
ESPECIAL to the Press. ]

AUGUSTA, July 16. = County Attorney
Carleton has discovered important new evil
dence in the case of Jacob Britt, who was
found on the railroad track in a mutilated
condition several weeks ago. He has discov-
cred two men who were cruising along the
river in a steam yacht on the night of the
affair. AS it ahppened, they loated behind
a boom, and were unable to extricate them
selves for a while. This was opposite the
State grounds, and while there, about the
hour Britt was known to go down the track,
they heard the noise of serious alteration
upon the bank, after which all was quiet,
and a skiff containing one man put out from
the shore near the point where the disturb
ance occurred.
IL is also learned that the County Attorney
will prosecute James II. Getchell of Angus
ia, who struck BILLY" Hopkins blow
which resulted in his death, for murder, in
stead of manslaughter. He believes there
are several inaccuracies in his statement ts-
fore the coroner's jury which demand an ex-
PLANTATION. Getchell testified that Hopkins
took off his coat, and that after the latter
was struck down he (Getchell] covered the
fellow up with it. Now the government will
be able to prove that when found Hopkins
had his coat on. 1t will also be urged that
Getchell held some heavy thing in his hands
perhaps stone, when he struck Hopkins.

General Topics.
Members of the Senate committee on
finance express the opinion that Congress
cannot adjourn in less than six days after
the Mills bill passes the House, and prob
ably not for six weeks. The Republicans
have virtually decided that they must pass a
revenue bill and return it to the House The
present intention is to frame q bill which
Will reduce the revenues about seventy mil
lions; This will probably include the repeal
OF ell the tobacco taxes, and OF whiskey
used in the arts.
There is much opposition reported in the
Senate committee on military affairs to the
nomination of Colonel Casey. This arises
from the fact that great injustice has been
done General Parke His brilliant field SER
vice in high command added to his intimate
acquaintance with the duties of the en-
gineer's office and the fact that Colonel
Casey's slightly higher rank was accidental
clearly entitled him to the promotion. The
expectation, however, is that Col. Casey will
be confirmed since his fitness for the place is
not disputed All opposition is based on the
idea that great wrong has been done Gen.
Parke
Private information received about Gen.
Sheridan is altogether discouraging. 1t
represents him as toe. weak to lift his head
without an effort, and as out of his head
much of the time and only kept alive by the
most assiduous and skillful attention.
1t is the impression that Mr.. Fuller's nom-
ination will be confirmed today or tomorrow.
Gen. Greedy said yesterday that he had no
present intention of asking to be relieved,
but is unwilling longer than the interest of
the service absolutely require, to hold with
uncertain tenure an office in bureau which
must steadily deterlorate unless reorganized
