ALMOST PUT THE JURY TO SLEEP
The National Docks-Pennsylvania
Suit Growing NzomOtomoua.

Suit Growing NzonOtonoue.
The tedious trial of the great railroad
suit between the National Dock and New
Jersey junction Connecting Railway Com
and the Pennsylvania Company is being
continued and will last at least two weeks
So monotonous was the evidence given yes
terday and today by Civil Engineer Gardin-
er that all of the jurymen looked wearied
and Juror No. 8 fell asleep, or appeared to
do SO. Mr.. GARDENERS testimony consisted
almost exclusively of plans and figures and
details connected with his official services
in the construction of the Waldo avenue
yard ana the bridge at that point He
showed by plans and diagrams that it
would cost vast amount of money for the
Pennsylvania Company to excavate so as to
move back its yard. He also testified that
if the Junction Road crossed as proposed,
the Pennsylvania Company would have to
elevate its entire yard He said that at
present there was a good working down
grade from the yard east of 20 feet TO the
mile. and an uphill grade west from the
yard of 30 feet to the mile. That if the
Junction crossed the Pennsylvania the south
the north tracks inches. The rest of the
day was devoted to similar testimony
Juror Carr, who asked to be excused from
serving on the jury Monday because he was
too deaf to hear all the evidence, was by
consent of both parties to this case excused
today and the trial will be continued by
eleven jurors. Mr. Carr could not hear the
evidence of the witnesses, and he told the
Court SO and asked to be excused.

WASHINGTON, July 8, 1s95.-By gen.

Ordway, Commander of the National Guard
of the District of Columbia, the National
Fencibles, crack military organization and
the winner of several valuable prizes in in
terstate militia drills, has been disbanded

the company has fallen below the mark upon
inspection, and during the recent encamp-

FRIEDRICHsRUHE. July 8, 1856
Prince Bismarck is much better this
morning, and is in no respect in a dan
gerous or even a serious condition. In
consequence of the alarmist news
which got abroad yesterday, kilograms
poured in from all directions inquiring
anxiously as to the ex-Chancellors

the Prince greatly, and later in the day
he walked down to the Castle Gate and
saluted the people gathered there,
talking a few minutes each with some
of them. He will probably go to Gastein

ACTED ILLEGALLY.
Street and Water Boards Haste to
Get Spofis Compltcates Matters.

The Street and Water Commissioners
yesterday passed a resolution dismissing
seven laborers The dismissals were to
take effect the same day. Successors
to the men We're appointed and their
salaries fixed. This action is said to be
Illegal and if the d.smissals are enforced
it is said that the city is likely to be
plunged into number of law suits.
Before the dismissais can become oper-
ative Mayor Wanser has to approve the
resolution. His Honor has not ap-
proved the one in question nor is he
likely to. The appointed men cannot
go to work until the Board Of Finance
concurs in the fixing of their salaries.
The board will not meet again very soon
and the outlook is that the men in
tended to be discharged will remain in
the city's employ for at least another
month. The Street and Water Commis-
sioners made an error similar to this
one when they attempted to remove the
clerks in the middle of june The Mayor
is keeping an eye on all appointments
and dism.s .ssals. He is not particularly
shielding present employees, but he is
taking good care that the city does not
get a double set of employees.
The Street and Water Commissioners
think the Mayor should overlook such
'little" errors on their part, but His
Honor is not that kind Of man.

7, Wa. brilliant AFFAIR.

A London society woman, wishing to
give a fancy ball recently, was be-
sieged by letters after her invitations
were out, asking permission to appear
in ordinary evening dress. Alarmed at
the prospect of a colorlese ball, she
automatically replied that any woman
over thirty-five might come in evening
dress. The ball was brilliant affair,
and every woman came In a character
gown. Which story Is matched by one
told at a womans club last week Of the
efforts of good clergyman to interest
the women of his flock in some church
movement. II will aBk," said he, at the
close of the sermon, "the elderly ladies
of the congregation to remain a few
minutes after the benediction." He
found himself alone with one woman
tho mother OF the teller OF the story,
Who, at thirty-five, was willing to sac
rifice herself for the sake OF her pastor
and remained to point out to him his
grievous blundcr. The same notice, diff
ferently worded, the following Sunday,
secured a numerous response.

FLYNN MACHINES.
They May lie Perfected, hut Man Him
self VIII Never BE Abls to Fly.

They May lie Perfected, But Man Him
self VIII Never BE Abs TO Fly.
AIr. Hiram Maxim, the inventor OF
the famous gun which bears his name,
is a firm believer in the possibility OF
so far perfecting flying machines that
they may be used in warfare He has
been explaining hiG views on this SUBJ
ject to a contributor to Cassells Sat-
urday Journal, who has been TO see
him at his English residence at Bexley.
Mr.. Maxim thinks that highly civilized
nations, able to make and use first-rate
machinery, will in the near future util-
lie flying machines in their armies.
This mode OF warfare, he belives, could
be carried on In spite Of ornaments
and weapons of war as we understand
them now, and II one civilized nation
used flying machines In such a way,
others would be compelled TO follow
suit. At the same time. he has no faith
In Manageable balloons, the whole thing
being Inherently wrong. In France.
especially, attempts have been made
to navigate balloons. and vast sums OF
money have been spent upon them: but
no balloon has ever been navigated
against even a very light wind. Anoth-
err point Mr.. Maxim thinks. is this. that
man will never be able to fly by energy
derived from his own muscles. A man
with sufficient energy would have to
weigh seventy-five pounds to have for
ty-pound muscles to his arms and
seventy-pound, muscles to his chest
and he would have to have a breast
beno twenty-eight inches.

Observation-Disclosures Gas Meters.

The use of the "nickel-in-the-slot"
gas meters for small consumers at
tracts q good deal of attention In Eng
land. There are estimated to be be-
tween $4,000 and 100. 900 houses and tene-
ments, for instance. In South London
without any gas supply and the prepay
ment meter is looked upon as the solu-
ton Of the problem Of furnishing gas
to the poor people occupying such
premises. The cost of gas is greater
than IL IL to the ordinary consumer
and hence a higher rate of charge ts
necessary. The would-be consumer OF
this class viii not buy fittings and pay
for fitting them. nor can he put down
q deposit which he generally does not
possess. A quarterly account or months
ly is out of the question where removals
of tenants are so frequent and hence
the tariff has to be raised in order to
help the gas company recoup itself on
the unusual investment. But the serv-
ice proves great boon to the working
men of humber condition and hence the
rapid extension of the system Is ex-
pected.

INSTRUMENTATION IVantsH.

Jacob irish, one of the Third Chic
cavalry. applied for a pension his
claim being that he had a ha$l-to-
nand fight with his saber for five miles
on the Sd of July, 1868, during which
he was severely hacked; also shot in
the leg. The application fell into the
hands OF a very critical examiner, who
returned it with the following in
dorsement:
"The claimant is required to state,
under oath, what caused him to get
into fight with his saber; what kind
of saber it was he got into a fight
with; how he happened to have q
hand-to-hand fight with it; whether
it had hands; whether there were any
witnesses present during the fight;
how he managed to get shot while
fighting with his saber; whether he
believed the saber shot him; whether
il shot any body else; whether he shot
it; how many shots were fred; who
fred the first shot; whether the sol
der was in the habit of fighting his
saber how long time he fought it,
and whether he had ever fought any
other saber. 1t should be shown, by
competent testimony, whether tho
soldier shot the saber or the saber
shot the soldier. 1t should also be
shown whether they fought for the
distance of five miles apart or the
sa Der was five miles long.
