HOW AN INQUIRER AFTER IMPORTATION AsTONIsHED
THE GENTLEMEN PRESENT.
From the Chicago Mail
number Of quite well-known members OF the
board OF trade assembled few evenings ago for
the purpose OF having quiet little game They
had been at II about an hour, with pretty even
luck, when a Jackpot occurred. 1t was some time
before 1t was opened, and when this did happen
the man who opened 1t did not seem to be very
sure OF his hand. Hestudied II carefully, coughed
got slightly embarrassed, and finally appealed 70

cOrdlngly he laid jack up on the table and drew
one card. he niled his flush, got the pot, and was
congratulated by the otner players on his luck.
ABOUT half an hour after second Jack pot came,
which, being passed q great number OF times
gradually grew 10 such dimensions that they
actually got nervous over II. Finally one man
looked up with qulZzical smile and said: "Can

solitary Lonesome Jack down and said: snow,
that's just 10 snow you that I've got enough u
break II on. Give me one card"
. lhe next man but one sat all this time gazing at
the two pairs, aces up, which returned his gaze
with soulful eyes He also took one card, and dis
covered on turning 1t up that 1t was his other ace

Inc pay went on until the gentleman with the
ace luu Ielt called upon TO stop, out OF pure CON-
passion for his friend. The friend gazed at him In
Father regretfu way and laid down four queens
Inc other man stared at them blankly mo-
ment and then recovering the use Of his voice said
hoarsely: "What In blazes did you show down that

"to see what kind OF packing goes in when you
see it, hole was cut In the wall. and the sur

taken us sudden start because IL had Clipped out
the cement between two stones. Six other places
were cut In the ARCH one after another and MOTH
ing but good substantial masonry was found. So
Diogenes had found the honest man. But the In
vestigation Will go on.
THE AUDACITY OF THE FRAUD.
Lieut. Townsend as he proceeds with his fnves-
tigation becomes more and more impressed with
the audacity Of the fraud committed Its enormiuy
Is not measured so much by the amount OF money
conSpiratOrs hoped to gain by the swindle as the
disastrous results that would have Inevitably
followed If the fraud had not been exposed. 1t
Will be compared, perhaps, only with the crime OF
some person who scuttled a splendid ship nlled
with passengers for the purpose OF securing
wreckage. sit is the greatest blessing" said
Lieut.. TOWNSEND feelingly, speaking to a STAR
reporter, shat the fraud has been exposed II IL
had remained concealed 1t would have resulted In
great disaster"
With the weak lining discovered in nearly every
part OF the tunnel Inspected by Lieut.. Townsend
this week, and which, according to the Kendall
Brothers, prevails throughout at least half the
length OF The tunnel, TO have turned water from
the distributing reservoir into the tunnel with all
the tremendous pressure that the depth OF the
tunnel Involves, would have been simply to have
wrecked nearly the whole construction. What
other damage 10 property on the surface might
have been entailed Is a matter Of conjecture.

HoSEsT-A DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW AQUEDUcT-
HOW THE LINING Is PUT N-THE ENoRxIrY OF THE
FRAUDS
While people were travelling about the roads
along the northern boundary of the city, going as
usual about their daily business, hundred feet or
more In the earth beneath them was a small party
cropping through the darkness with f1ickering
lamps Lieut.. Townsend, the experimenting engf-
neer oficer OF the aqueduct tunnel, was at the
head OF the party. STAR reporter was present,
as Is usual all occasions OF Importance whether
on the earth or above IL, or beneath 1t Lieut.
Townsend looked at his lantern and then asked,
quietly, II Diogenes had not hunted with a lantern
TO md an honest man. The experience OF the
three preceding days had much shaken the lieu
tenants faith In the honesty OF mankind at least
In that portion OF mankind that works
In the dark, constructing Innings for tunnels.
The lieutenant proceeded with his investigation
yesterday In the manner described by The STAR
as followed on previous days. He asks no ques-
lions OF workmen or suD-tnspectOrS. He interro-
gates the walls and arches themselves Inc In
struments used are simple-a hand-driu and
sleuge- hammer, operated by two skilled miners
The dr1ll Is driven generally through the key or
the arch III solid stone masonry Is found above
the key IL Is considered a satisfactory test ThlS

20 Dc slignted As stated in TEE STAR yesterday,
the results Of the drilling In the vicinity OF the
Rock Creek shaft showed that bad or fraudulent
wOTk prevailed there. This Is the lowest point IN
the tunnel where 1t Is estimated that the pressure
OF water when the tunnel Is nIed Will amount TO
eighty -four and one-hal1 pounds 10 the square
inch. To resist this there Is arch OF brick Two
courses In thickness, and In many places the solid
rubDle masonry called Tor by the contract 10 ex-
tend from the brick work outward 10 the face OF
the natural rock Is wanting altogether. The
space Is nled loosely with stones, without cement,
some places there being large apertures without
even dr.. packing. AT least such would be the
conclusion from the boring done In that vicinity
yesterday and the day before.
SURPRISE
Leaving the Rock Creek shaft the Lieutenant
went yesterday afternoon TO the Foundry Branch
shan, on the New cut road, west OF West WASH
instOn, and descended TO the tunnel there. He
beg drilling Just east OF the shaft, in part OF
WORK supervised by Su0-inspector McMaSterS, who
Was removed some time ago because he was re-
ported for passing bad WORK. The few holes bored
into this work showed that the packing had been
neglected above the key, there being nothing
better found at any point where hole was driven
than dry packing, and some OF this would hardly
pass muster as dry packing. The next point
visited was 594 feet east OF Foundry Branch shaft.
Here the lieutenant was fairly astounded. This
Was work performed under the Inspection Of Sub
