Maj Lydeckers report on the present state OF
affairs in connection with the aqueduct tunnel

terday morning. That officer was then present at
a meeting OF the Lighthouse Board and did not
read the report until his return, late In the after
noon, when he Carefully perused 1t and immedi-
atey referred 1t to the Secretary OF War with the
recommendation that court OF inquiry be ap-
lining Of the tunnel and TO nx the responsibility

Lieut.. Col Henry c. Hodges, Quartermaster De-

In his absence, he having gone to the Cabinet
meeting, a STAR reporter called on Gen. Casey to

said that the whole matter Is now IN the hands OF
the secretary and he Is not In position eiJner TO

The question OF additional railroad facilities for
Washington is one that demands the attention or
the Railroad companies, and 1t is very probable
that arrangements will be made by one or all Of
the railroads running into the capital which will
furnish better connections with the western por-
ton OF the city. 1t is thought particularly desir
able that the Washington and Ohio road, which
is controlled under lease by the Richmond
and Danville company, should have commu-
nication with West Washington, as The fu-
ture OF this road depends largely upon
the local travel which may be built up 1t is prob
able, therefore, that before great while branch
road Will be run from Falls Church 10 the Virginia
end of the Fee bridge. and thence along the Vir.
ginia shore, passing the prospective terminus OF
the Memorial bridge, and into Tue city proper by
the street depot. II is not unlikely that the
Pennsylvania and Baltimore and ONO roads Will
also take steps 10 connect with West Washington.
The RicnmOnd and Danvtlle company nave added
about I,5OO miles OF road to their already large
system by the transfer TO them OF the East Ten
nessee Virginia and Georgia rUad. They took
formal possession last evening and the necessary
orders have been issued.

HAYDN'S CREATION.

A Small Audience to Hear A Grand
Masterpiece by Amateurs.
Haydn's Grand Oratorio was excel
lently we'll presented by chorus Of 20
voices, accompanied by fine orchestra.
last night at the Grand opers.house,
under the management and dictatorship
Of Prof Kreuttuer. This gentleman has
had much success In the production Of
music by amateurs In San Antonio, and
last night, but added another wreath
to his laurels.
The choruses were well controlled and
sang in good accord, while the solos, with
but slight exception were excellently
we'll rendered. These we're sung by Mrs.
Favre, Mrs. Workman, Mrs. M. Free
born and Mrs. Maverick. sopranos;
Prof. Morrss, tenor; Prof. Barbour,
basso; Prof. John M. Steinfeldt acted as
piano acoompanyist.
1t is to be regretted that the audience
was not commensurate in size with the
merits OF the production, but this fault
Is easily accounted for by the threaten
ing aspect Of the weather and the ex-
treme sultriness which foreboded q
storm. In a few weeks the Oratorio
may be repeated.
