M’CLEVEY. . The County Hospital Purveyor Undergoing Investigation. Experts Show that He Has Been Over- charging for Groceries. yarden McLaughlin Speaks o Good Word for Himself, Business Done in a Loose Way at Cleary’s Hospital. The Spectal Committee of the County Board epnofnted to iuvestizato McClevey’s alleged sverchorges for grocery supplics tnet at the Jounty Hosplital yesterday morning. There was o Jarge attendance of Commissioners. Be- ides the membera of the Comumittee (Messra, Bradley, Ayars, Tabor, Leuzen, and Guenther), Commissioners Cleary, Senne, and Schimldt were present. Ald. Aldfichand onoor two otlier gentlemen attended aa grocery experts by re- “quest, to paes Jjudgment on the quality of the goods supplicd, and the prices charged there- far. McClevey and Warden McLaughlln were present during the greater part of the inqulry, After some little delay, the Comimnittee was called to order fu the store-roony, when Mr, Bradley (the Chalrman) procceded to specify his charges, 1lgrald: On the 15th of this month, I came here in the alternoon to oxamine the goods sent here by Mr, McClesey on o requisition, the bill for which had been sent In to the Board. 1 looked at n barre! of cranberries standing thete (deslg- nating tho place where a barrel stood). and 1 asked the homsckeeper if they liad come on the requisition referred to.” She veplled that they had. I then nsked whero the othier three barrels called for were, and she told e that that woa the only barrel which had been recelved. I noticed a box of Castlle soup, cut up In small pleces, and I Inquired if the roap came fn that condltion, Iler reply was foap 1fat suap came on o previous order. There was another box, which the housckeeper told me came on the requisition In questlon; she farther sold that that wos the ouly box which bnd been recelved. I looked Into tha bean bin and saw that [t contained but a small quantity of beans. In answer to my question, the housee keeper stated that no beans liad como on the or- der. Isaw akeg of ssl-soda in the wash-room nmchuhon’fln had come on the requisition, but I have discovered slice that It was the soda mentloncd in the Lill, The casc of matches set. down iu the bill the housckeeper told mo was In the offlee. L lhnlx‘gllt IC this was the wn(v we wera buylng goods for Cook County Hospl- fal—the “bill belng approved by the War- den, sworn to by tho contractor, and ught beforo the Boord for payment, without the goods being delivered—It was thno to Investigate and ascertain whether wo were getting what we are paying for. Onc item in the Wil is 220 pounds of barley.” Iluoked Into the bin and saw ouly a few pounda there. The housckecper sald that was all that canie. ‘To tha hest of my bellef, and I cxamined jt closely, there were only from flfty to seventy ruundu in the bin, T observe there fs moro bar- n{ tlhiere now, Mr. Ayars—Ins there been any requisitfon sinco on which barley conld be delivered ‘The Chairman—I have not heard of any. Mr, Ayars—Waa that bill certified to’by the Warden'to the effect that the articles specified ad been dellyered The Chairman—Yes; here {8 the bill; you can s¢g for yoursclf, One ltem on tho bl was * four barrels of cranberries at $11.77 Ar. UGucnther—~What aro cranberrles worlth At the request of thoe Chalrman, Mr, Barron gave his nrl‘Jlun on this point. Ifv said a fair orice for the eranberries then in store was from ) to $10 per barrel. The Chalrman—I want you to understand, gentlemen, that the cranberries I eaw wero not s pood o berry as those. In regard to the washing soda, 1° want to explaln that tho bill charges for 123 1ha; the key In the wash-room was marked 112 s, Last Friday 1 was agam In tho wash-room and saw anotiier barrel shout half full of sods, which the Inundryman told mo had comg about Alteen minutes previous. It was therefore evident, from what the lanndry~ man told me, that the sal-soda on the bill had pot been delivered at the b ime tho bill was pre- sented, I asked how long the other ke of soda had stood there, and was informed that it was In the wash-house beforo Chrlstmas, In the December bill of MeClevey we aro charged for a ke of soda contalning 130 s at & cents, Now the keg sald to have been there bofore Christinas {5 only marked 112 ths. In the last blll, moreover, the soda Is charged at 3 cents per pound, At this Fo&nt Mr. Guenther remarked that when the flrst blll was presented beforo the new Hospital Committee, Mr, Bradley sugmested curtutn overcharges, The Committee, however, Leing new Lo the business, decided to approve that bill and 1o post themselyes aa to the value of goods, so that In future they should not pay wore than the market prices, Iuanswer to Mr. Scnne, the Chalrman sald 454 cents was the standard prico for soda by Lhe keg: caska were irencrally sold at 214 cents. Thie Investigators then repaired 1o the wash- room, and found the two barrels of soda as de- seribed by the Chafrinan, The Iaundryman saf he larzer burrel eame tn on Fridaylu its present condition—half-full. The man who rolled in the barrel was next interrogated: ho declared that ko took the barrel out of the store-room about & week ugo and brought §t into the wash-room, 'Thie Commitivo returned to the store-room, and the Chafrman_continued his {nteresting story, us followa: I find also on the bill *thirco Loxes of sliver-gloss starch, at 10 cents per !I:,I]lé; "l,:,b::’u;kcz [nrlcu u&thlu 1larllclu Is ¢ x ca ol corn-stareh, cents;" o standa mrive fs 10 senine 25 <ont8; THY OASH OF MATCHES in tha offlco ls umr;‘rcu hiere 03 1t Ja & caso of Richiardson's hali-dimo matches, the standard price of which 1s 81 or €410, _tuen thera s a arrel of ostmenl charged $8.50.

ALDRICI'S OPINION. ‘The profeesional knowledge of Ald, Aldrich was here taken advantage of. The bills wero placed fnto that gentieman's hands, and, after o carcful examination of the goods i the store, lio gave hils opinlon as follows: With regard to the Young Hyson on the bill,I do not think It Is what 1t {8 represeoied; 1 should call it gun. powder. In my ’jmk;mentbu is 10 to 15 centa per pound too highi the Oolong 8 about 23 cents too high, and_the coffec 18 4 cents per pomd too high, Tho sirars are good, and worth the money charged. The silyer-gloss starch f8 ahout right; the corn stareh is a halfs cent tao bigh, The “two barrels and ahalf of mackerel," to miva tho seller o llberal proflt, should be $10 the whole barrels and 85.25 tha holf barrel, That would make §25.25, {natead of 237,50 asnppeara in thebill. The 200 pounds of codtish ™ are within the rango of & reasonable rofit, * Fifty pounds bnking-powier™ fs n ittle Indefinite, but presuming it s o good powder if 23 cents per pound are obtal) t is n satistgctory price; Wwo have to seli less in Jobblng. It Is charged hero 40 cents, The cos- tila monp {s not out of the wayi ftisa goou wrice, but wo more than mercliants charze, I hink the oatmeal s §1 too high on the barrel, 1 do not knuw the valug of the corn meal. 'The beana are a pretty cood price for the qunnllt]y. The el sods I8 no more than many people charge. The ralsins and prunes, If gowd, are Dot out ot the way. The four eases of peaches 1f first vlags goods should bo worth about $1. Tomatocs, if merchantable, are not out of the way. The four barrels of cranberrles, if they arc what they pretend to be, cultivated, hand- pleked berrlés, are not out of the way, 1 think the charge for the case of matehes is extor- tlonate; they are sold as close as $4.55, whercas it fs put down licre at §9. "I'he Chairmnn remarked that he had bought the satie matches o8 1ow as $1 and 84,10, Mr. Aldrich (continulng)—Tho table-salt is cheap enough, If good. Thu prico for pear] bar- Yoy gives u liberal prollt; about 0 per cent too wmeh, 1 think, lndl7m fora singio pound, i3 not out of the way, it good, Vinegar, I good, Ja not too high. [ have uot acon n sampls of the slrup; it oighit 1o bo good for thie price. That completes the ftema, Flie Chatrman then banded Mr, Aldriech the December bill for criticlsm, Mr, Aldrich—Is this the orfginal bill? The Chalrman—Ycs, sir, Mr. Aldrlch—Wiy, L 18 not ehecked! Tho Chalrman—That.ls the way 1t came into the Board. At this polut the Warden suggested the Com- mittee should sdjourn for junch. He was sick of tnvestizations, wnd would want an apportus nity of sayhiz soinething on the subject of the present one. AMr, Leuzen moved that the Committee pare take of nodinner, o that the county should not be put to extrn expensson accouit of the investization, ‘Chis motlon was agreed to. and the Investiza- tlon proceeded. A sample of the alrup was pro- duced aud pronounced satlsfictory. Mr. Aldrich went through the other bill and found the charges In many Instances almilar to thosa in the Jamtary bill. - The etarch was ono and onc-half cents inore than the usnal price; eastlle soup was charged two and one-half ‘centa more than in the other bl laundry soap. ot afx cents o bar, Mr. Aldrich declared 50 per cent too high, Sal-soda was charged tive cents per pound, whereas in the other bl 1t was three cents. Cranberries were $13—S$1 too much, ‘I'he Commilttee thanked Mr. Aldrlch for his cottrtesy in attendlug and alving them the bene- it of his knowledze of tho trade, and that gen- tieman thep left the room, The Warden asked Mr, McClevey if he Intend- cd to sny anything about the overcharges. Mr, MiCleary—1 don't know, Mr, Dradley buys goods the same as I do, but by the way Ly taliss T don't thiuk ho charges any profit on” his gooda, The Chafrman—Yes, air; I clarge a profit. But what 1 want to know 18 whethicr tho county Is buying from wholesale or retail dealers. am only a retail grocer, 1 charge wmy profits, and it {8 expected that I shonld, WARDEN M'LAUGHLIN'S BIERCH. The Warden—I wish tosaya very few words on this question. [ hope thiat anything I may let drop will be taken personally. I am now cutering into my fourth year as Warden of this Hospltal, and she tiko of this has never oceur- red to e before, When Iwas first elected to theoflice I was installed by John Jones, Johin Herting, and John Crawford, Durlng that year Juhn Herting never put bis foot Into the (los- pital after thut day.

If thero' was_anything he wanted to know, I could always give’ o ratlsfactory explanation, ‘That year I think tho Hospital cost $19,000. Tho next year Messrs, Guenther, Carroll, Lusse, and Jones werss on the Comuiittee, ‘Tlioy cah say themsclves how nfecly we got along, Thera neyer was any trouble.

We want to mapage the Hospltal £o that the public cannot say that tho Committee, with the assist- ance of tho Warden, tave robbed the county out of Ko mitch money. Mr. Guenther referred to the practice of the Iate_Tlospital Committee of checking off the gonxls s they arpived. and sald he tried to -zt the present Comunittee to sdopt that plan, but lils motion was voted down, In his opinlon the Committee was a little to biamo If there was any shortage. 1T asked McElevey if he chan thio same prices for the goods gupplicd the Hos- pital as for thoss delivered to the Insane Asylum, x)‘[n McClevey—No, slr; you get a betler quality of goods here.

New Suits «.c Judgments, Confesslons, Bankruptcles, Divorces, Etce The attorneys in the mandamus case of Mi- ¢hael Evans vs, Robert T. Lineoln eatled on Judge McAllister yesterday morning, and after some talk and argument fnduced him to join with the other common-law Judges of the Cir- cult Court in hearing the argument on Evans' petition. Thursday morning was sct for the tlme, and the case will probably occupy a day. Mr. Lincoln hasalso prepaced his answer to the petition, clalining that Evane was a default. er to the amount of $25,463.87 on the collection of the town taxes for 1876, The same argu- ments are employed that have been urged he- fore in cther litigation seainst Evans. It Is further denfed that Evans has ever per- formed any of the dutles of Town Col- fetor. Mr. Lincoln also claims that the suretics on Evans' present bond are not suflicient, ns ho has_ ascertalned by per- ronal fnquiry, and thinks that they arc only good for about $1,000,000, or at the utmost £1,500,000. No bond with additlonal sureties hias cver been presented to him. He also de- nies that he announced his Intention at the town meeting held Jan. 13 to refuse to aporove any bond that might be presented to him, no matter what the surctles; but he alleges that he did remark that, as he had been advised, it was his duty to decline to approve any other bond presented Lo him, No ncw bond has becn presented to him, and Evana has thus failed to qualify as Town Collector for the present vear, Furthermore, Mr. Lincoln states that be fs entirely fznorant a8 to whether the Town Col- lecturs have for the past twenty years by unl- versal custom only given bonda with sireties worth terely the amount of the taxes to be col- lected, or whether bonds have never been re- quirc@ of such Collectors with suretics sufliclent to tover the penaity of the bond In double the amount of the taxes tobe collected, Reliable fuformation could only be gained by extensive interviewlng of the varlous Collectors for the past deende or two, and the Superyisor humbly rubimnits that is vot within the line of his dutv, Finally, e admits that at the town meeting held Jan. 90" he asked the rd to appolnt & nesw Collector, hut that the matter had been post- poned until to-day, ‘The meetiug will, however, probably be agalu postponed until after the de- clsfon on tho question of mandanus.
