MORE TuRB1D AT OUTLET.
Effect Of Dredging on Water in
Dalecarlia Reservoir.

In reporting upon the operations OF the
Washington aqueduct and its auXiliaries,
Lieut.. Dent. the engineer officer tempo
rarily in charge. notes that the turbidty
of the water at Dalecarlia reservoir out
let averaged considerably higher than at
the inlet. which increase he attributes TO
wave action due to dredging In the res
ervoir and other causes. The cost of
operation was also higher during the
past month. Lieut.. Dent says. on account
OF the large amount OF extra work done.
such as grading. hauling soil. planting
shrubs and repairing 24-inch drain, be-
sides doing more than the average
amount of work in cleaning filters and
replacing sand.
Lieut.. Dent says that the number Of
bacteria in the first coagulating basin
at the experimental plant increased on
several days during the month to a con-
siderable degree above the number Of
bacteria in the water entering the basin.
The bacterial counts for several days
were lost, he says. due to their unex-
pectedly high number and the fact that
the samples tested were not sufficiently
diluted. This growth Of bacteria In the
coagulating basin probably accounts
says Lieut.. Dent. for the poor showing
made by the experimental system last
month.

No Default in Interest.

In connection with the reported auction
sale Of the Northern Liberty Market and
Convention Hall, to be held at 4 O'Clock
next Friday afternoon, the statement was
made today by Mr.. Brandenburg that
there has been no default In the payment
Of interest on the deed of trust on the
property. The trust was for $l25. 900, and
this trust. Mr.. Brandenburg explained
was given to secure certain bonds that
fell due March !, 1908 The interest was
paid in full on that date, but at that
time demand was made for the paymen,
of the principal also. The date for the
payment OF the principal was extended
one month. and efforts were made here
and in New York and Philadelphia to
raise the necessary funds to lift the deed
but this could not be accomplished II is
said, because the property was regarded
as "class property" Hence the sale was
ordered because of the failure to settle the
principal and not the interest, as was
stated previously.

KEYS IMMORTAL WORDS.
Incidents Connected With Writing
Of the "Star Spangled Banner"

The meeting of the Columbia Historical
Society last evening at the Shoreham was
an occasion of unusual interest, due to
the topic that was presented and also to
the fact that the writer Of the paper was
the grandson of the distinguished man
whose career was considered.
"A Sketch of Francis Scott Key, With
a Glimpse OF His Ancestry was the title
Of the paper read by Mr.. +. 8. Key Smith
and its scope included not only a discussion
OF the author of THE Star Spangled Ban
ner' as a man. but as a patriot and a
poet. The incidents connected with the
writing of that historic hymn were mar
rated. and at the close Mr.. Smith recited
the we'll known words.
When the room had been darkened a
beam of electric light was turned on the
flag which hung over the platform, add
ing greatly to the effectiveness Of the reel
tation.
