Tefors doing 80, he handetd in some documents, shiowing the engincering expenses, oflice rents, amounts pald for statlonerg, printing, etc., all of which he has found to be correct with & few trifling exceptions, which wero only crrors in postiug the books. In regard to the bond ac- count, he preaented a detaiied report, showing in figures the transactions as they had occurred, both as to the first and tho sccond scries of bonds. His mothod of checking off the bonds waa slmplo; When bonds had been eold, they lad . been credited to the first or accond eerles, as the casa might De, and tho discount waa placed to the discount ac- count. liis object was to ascertain if the total amount of bonds that had Lecn on hand was eqnal to the nomber of bonds sold and the nu ber remaining on hand. Uoing over the figures with the Secretary, he compared them carefully, and found them toagree in every case. The gecond series of bonds was largely issued in ex- change for the first serles. 8o far as the num- ber of the bouds was concerned, that was found all right. Ife also showed that the number ot the bonds alleged to bo destroyed was verifled. To the whole report he appended an afldavit, stating thet be had' carefully cxamined the bond account of the Sccretary, and had found it to be correct in every particular. The result of all this examination into the bond sceount was as follows: Total amount of bonds issucd, first serics, $1,576,000, to which should be added 890,000 In bonds not sold. To that should be added $205,000 of the second series. Thnt agrced with the bond-account shown by tho Becretary.

Mr. Thompson wanted to know who Mr. QGibbons was, Mr. Cornell replied that ho was a lawyer living then, as now, in CincinnatL Mr. Kales wanted to know what was the aver- aze amount of the witness' transactions tween 1870 and 1675, Mr. Curnell replicd that In 1871 his trans- artions amounted to about $300,000, and In 1874 more than that, and {n 1873 still tler, up to the time of the panle. None of fhesc had any- thing to do with the transactions of the Com- misstoners. After further questioning and cross-question- Ing without eilcitlng any more fnformation, Mr. Kales maid that this’ Gibhons transactlon had been looked at [n every light, and nothing finproper bait been discovered.” He did not see any use in contivuing the investigation. Mr. Herrick answered that Rees’ testimony had shown that Gibbons had transferred soma property to Mesars. Carnell and Giage, and I it could he shown that this property had passed into their handx without their payiog a cent for it then there would be oceasion for consure. Mr. Kales next asked the witness regarding THRE RATON TRACT, whether he had ever held it in his own name. Me, Cornell sald that In 1854 he did own the tract, which was then yalued st about 875 an acre, [t wasconveyed away hefore 1830, the highest price obtained belnz 875 an acre, The Iand never advanced in fl.’f‘ untll the park scheme’ was bronched.

Mr. Kales inade a statement. of the Kimbark suit, giving the history of the lluimun from the discovery of the Governmen! tent to Peter Pruyn, " The land was In Sec. 24, and the original papers showed that the property bad been sold In 1839 or 1840 under a Sherifl'a levy. In the record {tappeared that the decd from the Sherifl was executed aguinst Bec. 20, The suft of Kimburk was on the ground tha Bec, 4 was not sold, aud thercfore the title was still yested fn the heirs of Peter Pruyn. Mr, Kim- bark was tha legsl claimant, ri:umwu% his wite, who was the granddaughter of Peter Pruyn. When tho case came to trial the de- fendc was the statuto of Himitation, but on tho points Juxlfif Rogers held In the Circuit Court that the clalm of Kimbark was valld on tho ground of defective service. - In the afternoon, Mr. C. L. MONTON was summoned to the staud. e testified that lic and lienry Clement sold to Mr. Honore six and l.wumrnveu one-hundredths acres for 05,000, belng 814,813.05 per ocre. This was July 20, 1671 Aug. 6, 1873, Honoro sold to the Park Commissloners ' thrao and fourteen oue- bundredths acres for $69,002.22, at the rate of $22,284.14 per acre. Mr. Honore's profits were, after allowing Interest, 88 per cent. The por- tion sold to the park was more valuable than that retained. 'The land wasat that time owned by Clement and Morton, not by the firm of emcm?‘ Mortan & Co. The ealo was in bulk and not by the front foot. Thero was anincum- brance of $70,000, which hc alvided by placing $50,000 on one picee and $20,000 on another, TIB HON. TUOMAH HOYNE wassworn. He testified that be had beenagent for John T. Buter, who had o tmct on the parlc boulovard, It was ahout 1860 that an arrange- ment wasinade for the sale of 133 fect to the Park Commissioners. The Commissloners of- fered $33,000, and the offer was accepted by Mr, Hoyne, but a blil was Oled ngatust the own- ers of tha laud by Mrs, Douglas, and the Com- mifsafoners refused to take the land. He then Fm: notice that If ho went through the lul;i.n- fon he should demaud a higher Xrluu for the land. He guined the suit, and demunded £100,000 for the land, but finally took $73,000. e believed that thesult was {nstituted by some ona in cauncetion with tho Park Comnissloners, Ho suspected that the attoruey of tha Board had & hand in tho mastter, Tho attor- noy explalned to him that Mrs, WIHI- fams had come to him, but he had refused to have anything to do with it, owlng to his haviug beon aasociated with Mr. Hoyns Yn:vlmuly in litlization abuut the samo land. 1is suspitions wero therefore st atrest. le had no reason at prescut to suspect that thero was anything wrong fn the eonduct of the Park COmleMflfll‘l rel{muunz the Suter tract.

M, Herrlek read from the act of corporation of the Purk Commissioners to show that the Comniasioner had no right to receivo any prolit from loauing mouey to the Board, Mr. 8ldway mentioned in detail various Joana that were made by the State Savings Institution and the Illinols Truat and Savings Bank. Gen- crally such loans were for sixty or nincty days, and at the regulur rate of fnterest, Coutracts wero made in open Board, having veen previously passed upon by the Construc- tlon Committee. The greater part of tho work on the boulevard was dono by contract, although the work insbie the park was generally done by workinen unider the chargo of the Park Buper- intendent.

Aduress Pulvarmiacher Gale vaude Co., Clucinnatl, O, THE COURT-HOUSE, More Trouble for Stone-Con- tractor Walker. 1o Is Compelled to Stop Until Sexton Gets Ready. An Enormous Bill Gontemplated for Myth- ical "Extras The Lrouble In the constructlon of the new Court-House mny be said to have fairly com- menced when Walker set the first stone on the basement story some weeks azo, and since its commencement has been multiplyiug everyday. The trouble with Walker has been scarcity of money, which has made him peevish and his em: ployes sulky, and with It all he has managed to get at loggerheads with notafew whose dis- pleasurs he can il aflord to incar. He tried to bridge over his financial troubles by Invoking the ald of the County Treasury, but in this he waa not over successfal, for tho County Board has g0 far falled both to smend his coutract and to mlvance him any money. Heo had been work- fng a large forco of men all the winter at Lemont, had spent a great deal of: monoy and added considarable to ks {oad of debt,and falling in getting his contract so ameuded a8 to sllow him to draw money on quarry estimates, the next beat thing he could do was tostrain s point and do what was fn his limited power to push the work of setting stone as the only way out of his financlal stress. This ho has been doing, but more from necessity than pleasure, little consclous, apparently, that In striving to remove the financial barricr, he was laying up wrath against himself and paving the way for much unplcasantness with the other contractors on the work. In his industry, however, in rals- Iog derricks and stonc-setting, he hashad sn eye to the future, and, for the time forgetting 1bat others had any rights he was bound to ro- spect, Lins Jooked longingly forward to the tuna when a condition might arise of which he might take advantage, and on which he could reason- ably baso a clalm for damagzes ag alust & brother contractor, or for *extras *'—the contractor’s great boon— AGAINST TITE COUNTY. Yeaterday a focus may be sald to have been reached by Mr. Walker for tho jmmediate pres- ent, unless the County Board comes to his rescue, both fn his financial outlook and {n hls quarrel with the other contractors—an objectivs point In his coveted damages, which bas opencd anew his question of * extras,” In the fore- noon ho was ordered by Architect Efmx to quit work on setting the sccond courso of stone un- il the contractor for the masonry was mw to Kecp pnce with bim in his progress, and back up the work that ho hnd alrcady done, and, ns the Architect’s word in the matier {s law, lis obeyed. Hu obeyed, however, with some misgiving as to thecfféct upon him, cousclous thst delaying the work meant the postponing of the time when he could bo pald anytlilng, and, at the same time, that the delay meant damages for him and the swelllug of the amount that would sooner or later rofl Into his pockets. Ho was {nclined to look upon the situstion piacidly, not- witlstandiug, and lost no time in g’lvm the nevessary notice to tho architect that he shoulid claim damsgen, ete. This noticewas transmitted to the Joint Committee on Public Bulldings and Public Service of the County Board in the after- noon, and, comparing it with a letter in hand froin the contractor for masonry, stat/ngthat he woulil uot be ready to enter upon his contract until about the mfildle of May, the situation at once became dublous and a subject for sorious consideration. The architect was present and eald that Walker, under the clrcumstances, had avalid claim for damages, or would have if further delayed; and Sexton, the masonry contractor, was present also to dlspute the und inch by fuch, and to maintain that the oard hiad no authority to push him, aud to re- assert that ke would not move In kis contract until_his convenlence was suited, and to defy both Walker and the county to strive to wring damages from him. ERR WAS A HFTCIL ‘Tho_architect had supposed that Sexton wonld Elnld. and that the two contraturs would grmonize, and that the Court-Iouse work woulil uut’be impeded, but 1ie was son satistied that ho had miscalculated, o that the war so early comuenced was In o fair way to continue through the entirs work. “This convie- tion ~was _strenrthened, too, by Bex- ton's general demcanor, for in the course of the convergation upon the subject o inthnated that’ when he commenced work Walker would be made to ask for mercy, and as anxlous to eringo from paying him damages for delays as he was now to recover damagzes for belng delayed, Thus the matter ended, and Walker, though he will doubtless have the basis for o fust clalm for damages, la Icft in au exceedingly bad boat, for whatever chance he had for fiuttwgmuuc’ ou the work {s practically cut oft for several ‘weeks to come, unlcss his contract Is auin Jost sight of. He hopes for the best, however, though the work wnust stop for the time betng, In_the Committee’s further conaideration of the Court-Honse question, the matter of Walk- cr's claim for “extras,” which he rrvnoacl to bose on s0 changing the plaus for the work as to usc some heavier stoue than lad been contemplated, was brought up. When bids were invited for the stone work, It will be remembers ed, the arclitect dirvcted attentlon to the fact that certaln parts of the proposed ballding hod been taae Into three pleces In the specilieations, the ubject belng to make the competition as wido as possible, and cut off the possibility of Walker getting up a corncr onstone—hlsquarry ‘holug the only one frowm which tbis particular stone could bo gotten from In one plece. Mr Egan exulained at tiye timo that it would be far preferable to huye the stone In one plece, and a few weeks ago submitted the question to tho Board, informing it that since Walker had the contract it would be well to so change the plans, ete., Or to take somg oction In the ratter, inuss much a8 the stone was being gotten out In that shape, Commissloner Hoflmaun opeued the question by stating that he bad beard on the street that Mr, Egan had agrecd to allow Walk- er 820000 for tho chubge in ¢ cxtrus,™ which brought out a PROMPT DEYIAL and a free and full {ntorchance of courtesles, i which Commissfoncrs Schm{dt and Guenthier sald Walker had told them that ho was cutting the stone in oue plece, and that he should claing $06,000 * extrus.” The announcement provoked s smile all around—{rom some that the scheme bad been made known, and from others on ac- count of its ridlculousness, The srchitect was asked for an 8pproxjnate estluate of wlat the chango would cost, but he declined to do any Ruessing on the subject, and sald he had not yet figured on it. e was tinally Instructed to make a careful estimateo of the value of tho work and roport, with hls recommendation on the matter, at bis carliost convenlence, Whatever work Walker has dose in changing the plans to wake *“extras” would not, of course, be conshiered fur a moment £ ho were desling withs honornble men. Hu clearly had no right to make any chanizes, and what he has made have been athils .own risk and oi his own responsiblitty ; and, even If the stone s allowed to go into thia butiding, he certatnly has not the shadow of s basls for an enormous charge for “extras.! Taking the opinion of 5 prominent architeet who Is thoroughly acqualinted witn the work, if he were tocut the stonu In one pieca ho has no bnsis for an *scxera® charev. His opinion was that the cutting saved In using ouo atone fnstead of three, and the labor saved iy hauvaling and scttiug ono stone, would about compeusate for the inereased value of the larzo stone, In no ovent, he sald, could Walker bo entitled to “extras' In exeess of $10,000 by tho 1ot liberal n?’m-‘lfulrll: h'l‘lt.w Clourbvl{g;uo is not yes completed, an arely possible, ou the whole, that it never will be by &‘: present contractors. ¥ Bristllog Deflance, A patriotie and pactical Canadian has written a pational aatlom, the lust verse of whlch glorities the Domlulon emblens of the beaver and maple-treo as follows: Tho Beaver gagly cllmbs to the top G the lofiy Msple-T'res, Aud souuds slyud bis clarion sotes T wild triupbant glee.
