a number of other witnesses, the grand
Jury yesterday evening, after the Gazette
report had closed brought in an indict-
ment against Richard c. Burnett and
his wife, Maggie J. Burnett, charging

on Thursday, for which day their trial
was set.
As stated yesterday the grand jury
summoned before it the entire police
force and a number Of the city officers.
1t was reported on the streets that, from
the inquiries made and information Sc
cured, the grand jury when it makes it
report will show a sad state of affairs ex
listing in the police force which amount;
to total inetiiciency Of that force
brought about by jealousies, factions ant
incompetency-if nothing worse.
Court reconvened this evening at !
o'clock when the grand jury went int
session again. The Mayor, Chief an'
Lieutenant of Police and over half OF th'

Expect Attack Tonight.

Intelligence from Fort Washington is
to the effect that officers on duty at that
Notification and at Fort Hunt, just across
the Potomac, are expectingan attack by
the hostile fleet of Admiral Dickins
tonight. Reliable information was re-
ceiyed here this morning TO the effect
that at daybreak today large part of the
feet was at anchor of Blackstone Island,
in the lower Potomac, about seventy
miles below this city. The Potomac
river is we'll mined and the defenses OF
Forts Washington and Hunt are in a
high state OF efficiency. Both officers
and men are on the qui yiye and declare
they will do their utmost to prevent Adj
miral Dickins demonstrating that he
could take hostile feet up the Potomac
and lombard Washington A perfect
line of communication has been estab-
lished between the defenses of Washing
ton and the Notifications of Baltimore
and Fort Monroe. While no one knows
positively what Adm raj Dickins' next
move Will be, 1t is thought extremely
probable that Washington will now be
his objective aRd tina; he will then devote
the remainder of the week in demon
stration against Fort Monroe.
A dispatch from Fort Hunt says that
Admiral Dickens feet of war ship,
bent upon attacking Washington city,
was reported this morning in the Poto-
mac river miles below Forts Washing
ton and Hunt, the defenses Of the capl'
tai city. This information was brought
to Col. B. X. Roberts and Major IA H.
Harris commanding the two forts by
passenger steamer which came up the
river shortly after 6 o'clock. All the
vessels of the attacking squadron except
the battleship Texas, which was con
structively put out of business yesterday
at Baltimore; the cruiser Hartford and
eunboat Hornet were said to be In the
squadron. 1t was believed here this
morning that daylight attack would
be made upon Washington today. AT
ten O'Clock this morning officers in the
watch tower there picked up what APP
peared to be small naval vessel sew
eral miles below the fort, but it disap-
peared before its identity could be as
certained. The day is bright and clear,
and, in the opinion of artillery officers,
it would be almost suicidal for Admiral
Dickins to attack until dusk, although
they are prepared for any contingency.
The twilight hour would be the most
favorable from the naval point of view,
when it is too dark to aim the guns ac-
curately and still too light to work the
search lights.

Body Found i'm River.

The body of an unknown white man,
hooked by his clothing to fishing line
which was attached at the other end to
an upturned rOwbOat, was found toatin
in the Potomac river near the south end
of the Long bridge, yesterday afternoon.
The man was about forty-two years OF
age. There were no papers or marks
about his clothing which would give the
police any clew as to his identity. 1t Is
believed the body had not been in the
water long when discovered. Inquiries
among the lighthouses by the police fur
nished no information about the man.
No one could be found who hired the
boat to him, or who could identify the
boat or the man. 1t is the belier of the
police that the man secured the boat
some distance up or down the river, and
lodged the boat at point near the
Long bridge to fish, early in the morn
ing. 1t is supp sed he fell asleep while
fishing, and, falling overheard, his body
was caught by his own hooks.
