Superintendent Corey, of the Carnegie armor plate shops, resumed his testimony yesterday before the congressional Investigat ing committee. He was questioned as to the care which the officers from the Navy De partment gae to tho inspection of armor work at the shops. Ho said one and some times two of tho officers came to the shops every day except Sunday. They came very rarely at night until after tho investigation began. The work pro ceeded night and da. Ho remembered only onco when a naal officer, Lieut Cowles, came to tho shops after 0 p. m. They were there most of the time from 9 to 4. Chairman Cummlngs asked Corey if he knew that the w orkmen presented a testimo nial to Lieut. G 111, one of the na al inspectors. Corey said he did not. His own salary had beenreduced since he had become superin tendent of tho armor plato works, and he had reeei ed no presents, money, stock or other inducement, from the company except occa sional suits of clothes. Going Dacfc to Spuer intendeut Cline's altered reports, Corey pro tested aRalnst the characterization of the ro poits as "fal-e reports." Much of Corev's evidence was directed to ward showinR tliat the treatment of plates, while apparently irregular, was really i.d vautngeous td tho armor. He said that at the present time plates were be'ng treated on the ends only, with the knowledRe and consent of tho Navy Department, nlthouRh thi9 treat ment on ends has been one of the alleged irrecularities. Coroy specified plates alicRed to bo irregular which had shown splendid re tults when tired aRalnst at Indian Head. Itepreeentathe Dolliver stated that the Carnegie comoany had offered to subject the alleged defective plates on the Terror, Monadnock, and other hlpstotue severest possible tests. Corey said lie would abide by eucIi tests with tno utmost confidence that tho plates would proo absolutely reliable. The committoo adjourned to next Frii'ay, when General Superintendent Schwab, tho chief mcchani-al otttccr of tho works, 13 ex pected to be present. -- YASHINGTON STOCK MARKET. Quotations of Bond.

Combimtion l.-vcurslon Ticket. Captain Itandall has issued a combination excursion ticket to Chapel Tolnt, which embraces the round trip, supper, lodRing and breakfast at Hotel Eelleview.

The fare for all is e2, and a jolly Rood timo thrown in. "I declare!" said Nibsy, during one of the stolen interviews down at the captain's spring house, which tho persistency of John llenrv had brousht about when his adored one went after water, "I don't know n lint we'd better do. Taw'd as soon see mo marry the old fel ler himself as ou, John Henry. I reely can't eeo what makes him so set aginst ye.' "I'll tell you why, Nisby. It's pure, derncd mulishncss. if he is your paw. But don't you worry. Ve studied it nil over, and I've thought up a scheme worth two of his yet. If everything works out well, your fattier may po-sibly eae his cotton, but he's bound to lose his girl, sure as God made littla apples!" 'I alwaj knowed you was smart, John Henry," aud Nisby, under the clow of this confession, allowed her lover to kiss her with out boxins his ears after the most approved Dancing Branch manner. "Tell mo what you're up to anyhow." "Now. Nisby, ncer you mind. All you've cot to do is to stay right at home until you hear from me agUn." "You know I nint never 'lowed to go any where senco me nnd you been talkin. Pa, he keeps as close a watch as it I was gold, and he was fenred some one would steal me, and ma, she hardl ever shets her eyes at night. Ever'timo I turns over she'll holler out, That you, Nisby' and when I don't an swer, she'U come and feel to see if I'm in the bed." "Y-o-u, Nisby!" now came in shrill feminine tones from the direction of the captain's house. "Where bejou?" NEW.SEWERS AND STREETS Board' of Trade Publicly Discusses the Pending Bill. CONGRESS IS ASKED TO PASS IT Members' Unanimously Tote Upon the Questions-Importance and Necessity of the Improvement Health of tho City Con sidered Earneit and Eloquent Speaken. After several earnest and eloquent speakers had been heard, by a unanimous vote the board of trade resolved yesterday to ask Con grew to pass the bill now pending authorizing the issue by the District of 7,500,000 of 3 per cent, bonds for the purpose of perfecting and extending the system of sewers and streets In the city ot Washington and District of Co lumbia, Tboie present were Messrs. J. P. Agnew, deorge A. Arms, W. A. Balllnger, Barnes Weaver. W. D. Cabell, Lewis Cle phane, W. C. Clephane, II. L. Cranford.F. L. Dieudonne, W. C. Dodge, E. F. Droop, George T. Dunlop, J. J.

Warner, llenrv Wells, Asa hitehe id. J. B. Wright. W. A. Wimsattand A.8. Worthing ton. There was uleo present a large number of prominent citizens, who listened with deep interest to tho proceedings. President Wnrni r in a few openins remarks referred to tho purposo of the bill. It wns for the benefit of all classes, and appealed to the publio spirit of all citizens, tears ago the city got alonit very well without sewers, and depended ou the wells for water supply, but at this line the city has outgrown these con aitions. A. M. Read, chairman of the committee on sewers, then explained tbo bill by tho aid of two nups wblch hang on the wall. One showed the present S stein and the other the extension proposed In the bill. He pointed out how the present system deposited by twtnty-two outlets in tho water along the river Iront the flith of the city endangering the health of the city. The highest rate of death from tphold and malarial feers pre vails in the homes ot the poor people. The new sjstm proposed Interceitlng sewers which would carry all tho sewerage to the foot of New Jersey aenue, then pumped neross tho Eastern branch nnd piped across to the city three miles below tho city, where it would be deposited. COST OF SEW CITT SEWEKS. The bill call3 for an expenditure of e3,350, 000 for extension of the city sewers, making an annual chargo for interest of 3170,000, or 08 cents per capita. The new system is ex pected to last until 1040, when the increased population, which It is estimated will reach 550.000 would demand another and greater system. Mr. Read then read a statement of tho nmount expended In tho various large cities of the world for sower improve ments, from wliicli it appeared th.it Washing ton was at the bottom of the ii-t. He said that Conuress last year appropriated only sM,000 for sswer work, nnd at this rate It would takeover fitly years to complete tho system, by which time it would be neces sary to do other and more extensile work. Mr. Read maintained with much force and vigor that the whole system to bo of any aluemustbe completed at once, nnd alt Carts together. He said Washington is a eautifdl city, but it is not healthy, and hun dreds of people aredying anuuallyfrompre venatble diseases. In conclusion, he said that an eminent medical authority has declared that for every person who dies of typhoid fever some one ought to bo 9hnt. And he exhorted tho members of the board to lay aside all petty bickerings and feeling of self-interest In view of this matter, which not only affects the health of themselves, but their wives and children. J. L. Johnston briefly indorsed Ihe bill, and said that there Is not only a general but an immediate necessity for an adequate sewer 6ystcm. Thomas L. Holbrook was the next speaker, and he urged the board of trade to be careful in considering the bill. He took up the re port of the commission of sanitary engineers and commented upon the eminent scientiflc achievements of Its members, the assistance and advice which they recehed at that time from tho engineer ofllcers of tho District gov ernment, and wound up by a strong defense of the conclusions contained in their report. He said that tho bill under consideration placed Sl.000,000 In tho hands of the Com missioners for the suburban sewer work but thev are not required to expend it according to any well-defined plan, and it is left wholly to their discretion and honesty. JIB. IIOLBBOOK'S ArTEAL, "I appeal to you," said he, "that If the boarcV of trade recognizes the bill in its pres ent form the day will come when our children will curse us for hnvlng tied nroand their necks a millstone of debt for which they will receive no adequate returns." Ho reterred to the changes made in the composition of tho Board of Commissioners, particularly to tho frequent detailing of an engineer Cominls-ioner, nnd hu asked '-How do we know but what e ich sueceedintr engineer Commissioner would deviate from tho plan of his predecessors, following his own without intimate knowledRe of the conditions existing and not for the best interests of the city." He claimed to represent not only his own views but those of four other meinlers of the board of trade, who also belong to the Washington brick exchange. He unied the adoi tiou of resolutions pa-sed by the lattr body to be submitted to Conyress as amendments to the present bill to effect first, that no portion of the item of Sl.000,000 shall be extended until the schedule of work bo done of the estimated cost is submitted to Congress: nnd. second, that no part of the item of S3.500.000 amount is to be expended in experiments. In short, lie wanted Congress to so deilne the work to be done o that if in the future any engineer Commissioner is transferred to other fields his successor must adhere to tho original plan. President Warner put the question, and it was decided that Mr. Holbrook's resolution should be laid on the table for further consid eration. W. B. Dodge followed. Ho said that after paying its obligations each vcartre District now has only a surplus of tIOO.IjOO or 'M50. 000. He calculated tliB Interest on the bonds to be S225.000 per anuuir, and asked in view of the fact that this amount exceeds the sur plus revenue, "How is it to be p lidr" Ho said the District is not in a condition to ro m liemily into an increase of the bonded Indebt edness. He ursed that tbo 63.000,000 to be spent for the extension of streets be stricken from tho '"Now, John Heury, you skip." said Nisby, submitting to another Dancing Branch caress. "That's maw. 8he'H bo down here soon's I Rnswer." Theyounc man vanished in the surronnd inK bushes, while Nisby. taking up her p.iil of water, proceeded toward the house, sending on ahead of her the cry: "I'm b comin , maw." A few days later on tho news flew up and down Dancing Branch that Prof. Drydapper, the famous government expert, was about to visit that region in order to test some of his peculiar theories in regard to producing rain by artificial mean;. Tho professor, it was said, had recently been deiugiug tho people of southern nnd western Texas, and now pro posed to show the folks in middle Georgia how to bamboozle nature into tears with a few chemicals artistically applied. "By mighty, sir!" quoth the captain, "I don't believe the man can construct jx. decent sprinkle." Bat the more he looked at his shriveling corn and cotton the less skeptical he grew. Prescntlr It wns announced that Prof. Dry dapper would make his Hrst bow so to speak before a Dancing Branch audience on Capt. Twitchetl's farm. About that time Nisby received a letter by special njessengcr And furtivelj conveyed tnatieemed to put her in high good Humor. She would explain nothing to anybody, but went about the house as chirping and frisky as a squirrel In nutting time. Previously she had been rather moody and preoccupied. "Can't see what' come over tno girl," bill. "That sum," Bald he, "If you persist In placing it there, will kill the bill." STREET EXTENSION SUlTOBTED. B. Ross Perry spoke next, and urged the adoption of the whole bill. But he especially favored the street extension section. The sewers would come afterward. It was neces sary to have the streets extended first nnd then lay tho big sewers in tho streets, and not haeto put tbcm under houses nnd In back yards. The sewers would have to bearrnnged with respect to the streets, and if they aro put under houses the buildiugs cannot be taken down every time It is desired to repair tho. sewer. He ureed the board to be united in this matter and lay asido all personalities. Col. A. S. Worthington said he had helped prepare the bilL He thought it wai a dis grace to the city that the suburban streets in many instances were not in a lino with the city streets. The Commissioners should be given authority to institute condemnation pro ceedings in order to extend the streets when ever that extension was to be ot publio behe fit, and let them conform to the city streets, so that all tho thoroughfares would be in con formity with tne general plan. He offered tho following resolution as a substitute to the bill under consideration: 'Resolved, That the board of trado heartily indorse the proposition to issuo bonds to the amount of '7,500.000 to rai'o funds necessary to complete the sewerage system of the Dis trict, in accordance with the plans recom mended In 1890 by tho board of sanitary en Kineers. and also for urban and suburban street extension and lmproemeut of plans, and for extending the same in harmony with the present city streets aud avenues, shall bo approved; and further 'Resolved, That proportionate contribu tions by the national government toviard all of these improvements without exception Is a vital feature of tho proposed legislation." This was unanimously adopted, nnd then C. C. Gloer made a few remarks in referenco to the bill as It affects tho sewer system. He 6eld one-half of the cost would bo paid by the property owners iu the county and the other half would bo equally divided between the District government and city taxpa) ers. Hespokeof the neetssitvof a belter 3stein and urged the ailortlon of the bill. jiorr srET it tiie sububes. President Warner spoke briefly of tho im provements which are being made In the suburbs. He said, there was more money spent there by private individuals in tho improvement of streets than In the city proper by the government. Two hundred thousand dollars had been spent bV tbo BllsssjndlcatoarouudAnacostia, S300.OOO had been spent In improving Eck ington, and many thousands more were be ins Invested continually iu other suburbs. He urKed the adoption ot the bill, saying the better sewerage and streets there aro tho more tbo population will Increase. J. J. Edson also spoke in favor of the measure, and urred the members to be united iu their demand ilpon Congress, and then thev would get the legislation asked for. W. H. Moses favore.l the bill. A vote was tnen taken. A resolution of thanks to Col. Staples for tho use of the hall was passed, and the meeting adjourned. PUMPS AND WELLS. Health Officer Hammett's Report of Their Relation to Sanitary Conditions. An interesting report Is being prepared by Uealtb Officer Hammett relative to tho sani tary condition of the city, btntlstlcs of tho sanitary arrangements ot bouses In the dllTer erent localities during the last year are be ibg compiled in tabulated form from the re sults of a house-to-house inspection, and will bo submitted to tho Commissioners In about a week. On account of the recent typhoid fever scare, Dr. Hammett is also drawing up a statement, in which he will show where the wells and pumps are situated, and ju-t what proportion ot the people In tho vicinity of these pumps have been affected with the fever. In conversation with a Times reporter last evening, Dr. Hnmuiett denied the report that he had ever stated that it was Potomac water and not well water thut has cnused so much sickness. "I cannot," he said, "positively make a comparison of the deaths from typhoid fever as resulting from drinklui: Potomac water or the use of pump water, as my in vestigation has not been carried far euouch. A house-to-house Inspection must be made, In which we will have to inquire Just what fanfi lles aro using river water and who ore using well water. "Tne greater number of cases of typhoid fever have occurred in localities whero thero are pumps aud outhouses unconnected with sewers; but whether the complaint is due to the water from the pumps cannot with cer tainty be stated, as it is not now known whether hvdraut water was used more or less than the other kind. "I cannot speak authoritatively, but I do not think that the Commissioners will closo anr of the wells unless It is found that bac cllli exists. Thero has never been a pumii condemned by me until an inspection of tho water bad been made." Deficit of ScTcntj -Three .Millions. The cash balance in the Treasury at the clpse of business yesterday was S115.231, 520, of which GG,303,813 was gold reserve. The withdrawals from tho subtreasury at New York esterday aggregated 1,475,000, of which 225,000 was forshipment to Canada. This leaves the true amount of the reserve J04.S21',815. The expenditures of the govern ment during the twenty-nine days of the present month were only 52,501.000 in excess of the receipts, which leaves the deficit for the year to date '73.0C3.159. During to-day. the last day of the fiscal year, it will probablybe reduced to between 572,500,000 and &73,000,000. s Appropriations Resolutions Passed.
