MM, DAVIE, TIE EXTERT employed to investigate the books of the Com- mlssloners, stated that 80 far he hadnot received the bond account from Mr. Ilarmon, tha Secre- tary of the Board. He hoped to bo able to pre- sent a partial report on Monday uest, which would afford the Committee somo data to work upos, Mr. Herrlck protested against these evere recurring excusess by witnesses that they could not give particulars as to purchates, dimensions of property, and the like, owing to the abscace of the records. Something shoula be dono about this matter, and witncsses should como prepared with facts and figures. 1lc asked the Commlssioners to answer THE FOLLOWING QTZSTIONS: 1.

AENECA D, KIMBARK swarn: He testified that un different occasiona he transferred three pieces of land to the South Park Board, All of theso were located in Sec. 24, 1dentitied tha deeds shown, ono dated Nov. 3, 1870, conveying iifteen acres fur a considera- tion of $20,000, one Dec, 00, “1870, five acres, st $1,000 per acre, and the thind, dated Muy 13, 1871, conveying flvo acres at $500 ner acre. Al these conveyaneea were made 1o tho Board by witness and his wife and Judge Deckwith. In cach case o separate burgain was mnade, and tho transfers were distinct une front the otier. Mr. Gago bal most to do with tha ncgotia- tions, but possibly Mr. Cornell might have talked the matter over writh witness, ~ Witncss Kot the nruqm{ through hiswife,who rezovered 1t from the holders by lawsuit, sho clatming as heirat-law of her father, Mr. Peter Pruyn. Tho suits were brought by witness through lis at- torney, Mr. ‘Town, wiio brought scparatc suits for thic recavery of the different tracts, Witness could not say whether tho title was a perfect one or not. Judge Beckwith recelved half of the $20,000 pald far tha fifteon acrea. It was understood in cach case that a smilar arrangoment existed. Convoyance was made to Beckwith, who took “up the case at the death of Mr. Town, with whom a similar arrange- ment had previously been made. Busincss generally was tranancted by the attorsoys and tho Comnmissioners, ‘Tho Witness was unable to stato who examined Into tho titlo on behalt of tho Board, and was unable to give much ded- nite Information aa to the titles and tho trans- fers, the matter not being withinhis knowledge. Judge Dunlevy asked If witness could show what conalderation was pald for the Duslevy roperty. Witness sald his boolts would show. Ho had'n bellef that Mr. Cornell had owned property in that vicinity, but his recollection was only Indoilnite on this subject. Mpr, Ralcs asked the wituess whether thero was any diffcrence between the quitclsim deed given by witness and wife to katonand other quitclaim deeds granted by them. Witnces vould not remember any speclal puints of dis- tlnction other than the fact thay Katon had com- meuved sult azalnst bin whilo noue of tho other grantees had done so. Eaton refused to necerr. the terma offercd by witnesa, and brought sult. In this case Judze Kogers sustained Mr., Kales' oplatons ou every point, Mr. Trucsdell cross-cxamined the witness at considerable length as to the transfers made, ‘Tho ouly additiunal mformatlon olleited was that witnces transferred the Eaton tract to tho Commissioners, the consideration being that prevlougly sct forth, M.

Witness suld that the atrect had not been made, ‘The consfdevation for tho property was $10,000, und thicre was also @ question as ta {atereas on the contract, wituess ¢Iaiming that hewas entitledto Interest and tho expenso of making thenbstruct, This matter was tinally cotnproinised.witness recelving altogether 10,26, e had refreshed ils momory by reference 10 sumne old memorauda in his pos- scsslon, and hod von ?nrn(l these with the vouch- crs of the Park Board. Of this 810,203, 810,000 In cnsh was stipulated for In the orlginal awrce- ment, and the (nterest was on thuy 250,00 leit on morteage. \Wituess could not remember what the rate of fnterest was, The maottor was flrat, negotiated befors the fire, and a delay af about nine ouths occurred, for which intereat ras clajmes Chauncoy T, Bowen pald the money, acting for the Comunissiuncrs. Witness thouglht the price pald was rather less than §133 per toot frout. Judge Beckwitli and witness conducted the negotlations ot first, but the bargatu wos tinally consummated by Mr. Bowen and witness. Iu cross-exumination witness suld that Willams Hved i Butlalo, N, Y., aml waa ladt fn Chicazo fu thu year 1378, Witness cmbodid In tue deed the provision that o road shoulit b kept up, tor ono of his principal reasons for sclllug &t tho price hewl{d was to obtain a parlc or buulevard frontage. The #10,000 was pald by Bowen, pos- slbly through a bank or by check. * Witness did not compeusate anybody for assisting him in thls basiness. Lu reply to Col. Thompson, witnees sall that he did ot mean that 10per cent was pald to tho bank in_addition to the futerest boruw by the notes. 'The bavk simply drew the fuce interest und probubly charged B small commisslon for tholoan, Witness furtier explained that bo was mbitaken in saying on the previous day that twoe trust-deeds wero frstied. It had been cantemplated to {ssuo two, but ono of the notes wus nearly due,and wus pald, so that only ono deed, Lhat” necesaary to secure the three notes of $7,000 eachi, was inade, Counsel then dirceted their encrgics to thy task of ascortalning the wheresbouls and tdentity of Willums, ‘The witiess could only say that bie wus 8 New York capitalist, utd when in’Chicago stopped at the Vremunt House. 1r. Kates entublished by the recards that Mr. Buwca resigned bis oftice us Park Commissloucr in Jauusry, 1570, sud was reapporuted i May, Lriey Mr, Jackson said that ho knew nothing as to where Bawen got the $10,000. Ho actut un be- half of the park, and the trousaction wus caried out at the oftice of tho Cummissivners. Tho money ~ was paid by ch Witucss divided the nioney pro rata with Willlama.

Noe was the witness ever askod to put up any noney or to divido with soy represcotative of tho Board. Witness identified the contract ss being partly in bis weitlug. 'There was un cn sureln blué fuk of which bo koew nothiuz. He thought the alterations were made at the time the {ustruutcot was delivered. 1u auswer to dir. Herrick, witness said that it was not likely that he would give s rcceipt for $10,000 unless bo recetred that amount. He ownod balf, bis sister oud Br, Williams each one-fourth, of the property, and the $19,000 was dinided between them. This was the only eale made by him tothe Park Commissioners except nnlrca of land helonging to a Mr. Smith, In whith he hetd an intercst. There wero other cases where i acted as attorney in condemna- tion sults, which were setticd by the Commis. sloners without any formal canteat. Mr. Truesdell said ho lad understood that Jackson pirchased a tax-ttlo from Mrs. Elfza D, McClowd. Were Willlans and his (Jack- ron's) slster In Chicago at that time! The wit- nees helfeved thef were both In the city. In an. swer to Mr. Herrlck, witness salil he nald §90,000 for the whole property, a part of which he alter- wards sold to the Board. He gare a trust-deed on part of the land as security on the deferred payments, nud afterwards obtalned s relensc, 5"“,1‘"’ befors he transferred to the Park oard. The next witness was StIt. CIAUNCET T, BOWEY, the Committes having decided togo on with the investization an hour or two longer and then adjourn until Monday. Mr, Bowen being sworn testitled that hio was first appointed Park Conynissioner {n March, 1468, and lield officatill May 30, 1850. Iewas reapputnted in the spring of {872, and had acted as President since the resignation of Judge Wilson. Fora long tinis he was nctively connected with the purchase of the varioua plats of land required for park pur- poscs, and hind tnken actfon in such purchases sinco hic becume Preaident. As to the Jackson tract, he had been connected with the purchase of that, but did not consider himaclf a8 entitled to the credit of acquiring the Ilonors property. In every case where the Commissloners dosired to purchase land, thelr plan of procedure was to reguest each owner of 1ots or h\mk! required to scnd In o written proposition, containing the terma on which ho was disposed to scll. The first effort of the Board was to buy wil the land’ fn_ the vicinity of the park, and in this they had {n s n meastre succeeded, They had obtained a legal asacssment on all the Jands fncluded in the park system, the amount being esthinated at 81,305, 0. They had placed azainst ench catimate what they considered as being the nctual value of each 1ot or tract of land, their idea helng to acquire all the neccasary property within tho first year ol thelr existénce as a” Board, Un. fortunately the perjod of inflatlon supcrvened, aud hundreda of people rushed into the market, cager to buy up every scrap of land anywhere near the parks. As o natural mmeauenec. values were materl- ally cnhanced, and the second asscasmont showei an increase in valuation of about a mill- {on nud a quarter, The account glven by Mr. DBowenof the Eaton purchase differed in no materisl degreo from that furnished by Mr. Kimbark, ond few, it any, freah points were made by tho examintog vounsel, Mr. Mason, As to tho Jackson tract, Judge Dunlevy wanted to know hiow the ncgotiatins were carried on. ‘The witness sald, {n reply to aquestion, that Jackson's creditors were scattered all over the country. He could not of ils own knowledge say whether Eaton owned another tweaty ecres. The proverty in question was bought by the park, but he did not know In whose favor the checks were inade out. In reply to Mr. Truesdell, witness sald he handed a note for $11,000 to tho creditors of Jnlc;caun, and partleularized the creditors afory- sald. Gen, Rowett asked if the witness the Buter tract. Mr. Bowen answerc urchased that he was not a member of the Board at the timo of that transaction., 1l had heard tho particulars uboul the Eaton Zd-acre lot lor the first tima thiat morning ns the Comunities had beard it. e knew nothing whatever about the detalls, In answer to Mr. Mason wituess eald he had Ecnmmll convoyed to the Board the undivided alf of Scc, 2, vontaininz about lwenty-clght acres, just dorth of the Reform Hchool. ‘fhe_price of that cntire scction was fixed "fi' the Commissioners at #1,000 per acre, and this was acvepted by all the property-owners in the neighborhood of the bonlevard. ™ Ho wishod to audd that, while he received 83 per front foot, wrogerty just across the rsiiroad-track brought $50 |lu)cr out. This was the only property ever sold by him to tha Park Board. At ‘this polnt mattors scemed to getinto somewhat of a mudile, and the Chalrman was oned nore compelled to explaln thal the Com- mitteo did not hold {tsclf ‘cxpressly bound by rules of cvidence a8 held by the courts. Mr, ‘Truesdell eald that he, for ong, intended tosit u-:mlong as {t was necessary to clicit the acts. RETURNING TO THE JACRSON DUBINESS, Mr. Bowen sald that ne made the negotiations on the part of tho Board. Ile mado the cash payment of $10,000 on his own account, having borrowed it from the Bate Savings Instl- tution, Mr. Jackson: relmburacd him \when the transaction was closed up, by paylug the check. Tho land was bouzht conditionally on the ap- imwfll of tho Couuty Court, aud "he acted as rusteo for the Buard, tho ubject belng to secure the land before tho prices advanced. The Board Individually ~ mpproved his ac- tlon, and ho reparted tho full ireumstances to them. He borrowed the money on his own eredit, snd belleved they could not have obtained it without his security., Could not tix tho exact date of the repavient, but it was during tha summer ot 15735 thought the con- tract was delivered In Judge Wilson’s ollic neceasary, could produce tho $10,000 check which ho gave. WVitness weat with Jackson whon the matter was flually wouml up, Jackson presented ths warrant for $10,203, and rcceived that sum, lcss the $10,000 . and intcrest, o cash, The, Cummbnlonen hod no sctual rlght at the Linic fo buy tho land, the. Circult Court not having approved it. But it was held that, undor tho eircumstances, it was best to fat, the land at once, spceulation running very high at the time, Tho reason that ho was requested to act was rmhably because ho had heen very oner- ;I‘uuc Inthereal-cstata tranaactioas ot tho . t was understood that if the Circujt Court did not tonfirm 1ho transaction Jackaon abould ro- pay the $10,000. ‘There was nothing binaln obligatory on the Board until tho date of the conveyance, . In_reply to Gen, Rowett, witness sald that Mr, Sidway was at tho time u trustee of the Htate Savings Institution. : Witness cxplained 1o Mr. Trucsdell that he took the risk of Jacikson'senforcing thio bargaln, Had this been doue, ho would have placed the contract on record, and thereby clouded the utle. e knew nothing whatever about Will- fams. Everything perrainiug to tho matter was done with the full knowledge and approval of the Board. ‘TheCommltteo then adjourned untit 10 o'clock on Monday moruing, the Uliair expressing tha hope that everybody would be prowmptly ouhend at that hour. ———— A Lion nnd Loopard Fight, | Lonion Glnbe, The Zoologleal Gardens at Pesth have just been the scetio of a combat worthy of Nero or Elagabolus, Thy coge tenanted’dy o llon and Mouess happened to he uext to that in which dwolt a female lcopard, for whom the caplive queen of the desert entertained aspeelal hatred, "robahly sae was jealous of the bright oyca snd veautifuil skin of her nelghbor, and may |- by have suspected bier lord and master of caste ing 8 tonder rezard or two across the barrier. which scparated the two dens.
