WASHINGTON. August 25.-The river and

by the House. This was practically the
only business transacted by that body be-
fore the early adjournment on account
of the death of Representative Watson. OF
Pennsylvania. Tho opposition TO sending
the river and harbor bill to conference
without discussing each Of the amend
ments added by the Senate wa withdrawn
to-day, hence the promptness with which
the matter was disposed OF. The chances
now are that within week or ten DAYS the
measure will be ready TO be sent 10 the
White House.

eleventh death that has occurred among

NAY YET eE ANALYZED.
Probability that the Blood-Stains viii BE
Examined in Baltimore. A..

Since the refusal Of the Board of Super
visors of Hcnrico county TO make an ap-
preparation for a chemical analvsis OF the
blool-spots at Mr. Feitig's house several
friends of the dead peddlrr have been con-
sider.ng the adyislbihty of sending the
particles of wood and plaster and the axe
with the bloOd-stains upon them TO Baltl-
more for an examination. They believe
that an examination could be made for a
considerably smaller sum IN that city than
Is charged here. and that it IS essential TO
the Commonwealth case.
There we're no new developments IN the
case yesterday. and from present appear
ances the murderer of "MOX" will never
be known. unless the detectives have
something against Sully and Adams, who
have heretofore withheld from the public.
