WANT MRS. TUNNEL.
The Church Council Not Satisfied With
Miss Overman's story.


Miss Overman's story.
San Francisco, March deacon
Williams subjected Miss Martha Over
man TO a severe cross-eXamination at
the evening session of the council be-
fore which Rev. c. O. Brown, Of the
First Congregational church, is being
tried on charges of immortality
He asked her among other things If
she had not felt for some time THAI her
feelings for DR.. Brown had been such as
a virtuous woman should not entertain
toward q married man. Miss Oyerman
replied with much apparent Indignation
that she had felt no such thing. She
admitted, however. that she did not
wait for the pastor to tempt b r., but
fell Of her own accord.
Mr.. Williams led her through a long
lane OF misty. hay questions. begin
ming with the meeting December ~ and
ending with her entry into The Doctors
study the same afternoon when the al
legged blackmail of Mrs Davidson was
revealed to her Mr. Williams wanted
to know if the old feeling came back In
the darkness Of the room. The wit
ness. however, did not get and oppor-
tunity TO reply 10 this, for DR.. Pond in
terposed a strong objection to what he
termed unnecessary Oss-eXamlnatlOn
and said if il was continued he would
certainly withdraw from the delibera-
tions of the council
Rev. Mr.. Sink wanted TO know what
her feelings toward Dr. Brown are now.
Sincere pity, and that only" was the
reply.
The members of the council came TO
the conclusion that Miss Oyerman's
story. without CoroboratiOn, is insult
fcient. They have decided that Mrs.
Tunnel is o necessity. so she has been
tnlographeI for il the name Of the
council and upon her word hangs in a
measure. th- f1te of Or. Brown.
Miss Ovcrman admitted that Mrs.
Tunnel. the missing witness whom the
council would like 10 find. had no means
and. that she had sent Mrs. Tunnel
several rsmirances since her depar-
ture She admitted further that the
money had been furnished by Dr
Brown. and when asked why DR.. Brown
should send money TO Mrs. Tunnel.
asked: "Why should he nOt?'
o. dissemination Of the witness
REGARDING the published letters from
herself TO Mrs. Tunnel go. the witness
into tangle from which She ex-ricatef
herself by saving that She had not
marked the in-erpolated passages Of all
the letters. She said she had never ex-
pec-ed that the letters would b pub
lished. supposing that Dr. Brown would
never allow them TO go so far, and that
he would rather pay a large sum Of
money than attempt TO exDose the con-
spiracv she and Mrs Davidson had
formed.

Washington, March "A plan has
been submitted TO Congress for a canal
connecting Lake Erie with the Ohio
river. The Secretary of War to-day
sent to the House the report of board
of three engineers of the army OF a sur
vey of the Miami and Erie canal, the
Ohio canal and connections available
to make continuous canal connecting
the waters of Lake Erie with the Ohio
river through the State OF Ohio. Inc
survey was also to look at the feaslDll-
lty and advisability of improving anc
widening the canal TO 20 feet and deep
ening it to seven feet. Plans and cost
were also required for the construction
of locks with a capacity for vessels OF
at least two hundred and eighty tons
burden.
The Board considers the following
routes available for continuous canals
making the required connection:
First, Eastern route-Cleyeland to
Marietta.
Second Central route-Sandusky Bay
to Portsmouth,
Third. Western route-Toledo to
Cincinnati.
On all these routes the water supply
is such that with necessary improve
ments it is practicable to construct
canal of the kind required that can be
operated at its full capacity for 2I5
DAYS each year.
The estimated cost of each waterway
of the prescribed dimensions is. East
ern route. $12,299,372; Central route,
$1SO94165 To the latter may be add
ed. if necessary, cost Of feeder from
| Lewiston reservoir to the Sciota valley,
$4,000, making the whole sum for the
Central route $lS.11S,165; Western
route $23,011,374 The Board concludes
that while it would be feasible to con-
struct a canal of the dimensions speci-
fed it would. by reason of inadequate
depth in the canal and the Ohio, be
restricted in its benefits
In the opinion of the Board the con-
struction of a canal of such dimen-
siOns or apart from an adequate inn
provement of the Ohio river would not
be advisable The Board has not con-
sidered It part of its duty to present
any recommendation with regard TO
canal of dimensions different from
those prescribed in the act of Congress.
A canal having a uniform width of IS
feet and a depth of 10 feet would admit
the passage of vessels that might be
! considered of about the least praci-
cable size for lake navigation.
