THE LYDECKEK TRIAL.
Lieutenant Townsend Continues
His Testimony

His Testimony.
WASHINGTON, March 26-Before the
Lydecker court martial to-day the cross
examination of Lieut.. Townsend was
continued. The bad work found last
: summer, he told Col. Comstock, was of
. the same character as that discovered
in the autumn. There was bad work
found prior to the presentation of the
Z charges, and also prior to the discovery
of the bad work in the New York tun-
mel. In previous case of the discovery
of bad work, the inspector, O'Brien.
was not discharged, but was cautioned
and allowed to remain on the work. In
other instances the inspectors over bad
work were always discharged. ''O'Brien
; had the reputation of being one of the
best inspectors in the tunnel" Town
send said, and | was not sure but that
he might be mistaken in his inspection.
Therefore ] thought it best to give him
another trial. The lieutenant stated
that the contractors had made
frequent offers to repair the tunnel at
their own expense, but that they could
not be accepted on account of an act of
congress which put stop to all work.
In the afternoon II. A. Sparrow, the
sounder expert, was called to the stand
by the prosecution. The reading of
Mr.. Sparrow's testimony before the
court of inquiry occupied all of the
time of the court until adjournment.

THE MARITIME CONFERENCE.
Subjects of Vital Importance to
Navigators Will Be Discussed.

u,
= WASHINGTON, March 26.-The United
States delegates to the approaching
maritime conference met at the depart
ment of state to-day for the purpose of
consultation and arranging pro-
gramme for the conduct of the confer
ence. Rear Admiral franklin presided.
Among the subjects presented as proper
for discussion at the conference were
the following: Maritime signals and
other means of indicating the move
mentS of vessels in fogS; rules for the
prevention of collisions; life-saving de-
vices; reporting, marking and removing
wrecks and distractions to navigation
warnings OF approaching storms: notices
of dangers to navigation; notices of
changes in lights, buoys, ETC.; fix
ing safe load line of vessels: night sig
nails, uniform system of buOyS, lines for
steamers in Trequented routes; the es-
adjustment of a permanent interna-
tlonal shipping commission; regula-
tons for determining the seaworthiness
of vessels; uniform regulations regard
ing the designation and marking of
vessels. 1t was suggested as a proper
subject for the consideration of the con-
ference that a rule should be agreed
upon looking to the exclusion of
steamers from the Grand banks. The
motion was first adopted but lively
opposition Immediately arose, and a
motion to reconsider was made with
success, so that the subject was ex-
cluded. Ali of these suggestions were
turned over to a subcommittee, which
will put them in the shape of pro-
gramme to be submitted to the parti-
cipants in the conference and the meet
ing was adjourned until Saturday.

Origin of Well Known Terms.

There are few people that have not
looked into the dictionary especially
who know how the term ''spinster"
originated. We often find it in Shakes
peare and other of the English classics,
but it is used to define the spinner.
This is its specific meaning. Its general
significance is wider. There was an old
practice, in the years agone, that q
woman should never be married until
she he'd spun herself set Of body,
table, and bed linen. 1t is not difficult
to see how easily the term became APP
plicable to all unmarried women, and
finally became a law term and fixed.
''To find mares nest" What we
call nightmare was by our forefathers
supposed to be the Saxon demon Mara
or Mare, kind Of vampire, sitting on
the sleeper's chest. These vampires
were said to be the guardians of hidden
treasures, over which they brooded as
hens over their eggs, and the place
where they sat was termed their indus
or nest. Hence when any one supposes
he has made great discovery we ask il
he has discovered mares nest, OF the
place where the vampire keeps guard
over the hypothetical treasures. -I De-

Every third person you meet is troubled more
or less with biliousness and don't know how
to get rid of it. The causes are eas lily recorded
by persons Of sedentary habits, indulgence in
too rich food, a sluggish torpid liver where the
blood does not do its duty, and bile is allowed
to accumulate; these cause the whites Of the
eyes to turn yellow, the skin to look thick and
coarse, and the com nlexion yellow or dark
These are sure indications Of biliousness

purifes it, and sends it on its journey through

So it hangs like cloud upon your way

Nor through love Of Incidence lose your
place,
For in each endeavor to do your best
You raise the hopes of the human race.

Come to Cilicia; come with peaceful gifts and not in arms. Come in thy beauty, and tricked m thy best attire, and naught hast thou to fear from the noble Antony" He paused and looked at her meaningly; while I, taking his drift, felt the angry blood surge into my face.
 Cleopatra, too understood, for I saw her rest her chin upon her hand while the dark cloud of thought gathered in her eyes. For time thus she sat, while the crafty Dellius watched her curiously. And Charmion, standing with the other maidens by the throne, she also read his meaning, for her face lit up, as in the evening lights sum- mer cloud when the broad lightning flares behind it. Then once more it grew pale and quiet.
 At length Cleopatra spoke. "This is a heavy matter" she said; land, therefore, noble Dellius, must we have time to let our judgment ripen. Rest thou here, and make thee as merry as our poor circumstance allows Within ten days shalt thou have thy answer"
 moment the envoy thought then, smil- ing, made reply: Ut is well, o Egypt: on the tenth day from now will I attend for mine answer, and on the eleventh I sail hence to join Antony my Lord"
 Once more, at sign from Cleopatra, the trumpets blared, and, lowing, he withdrew.
