Mr. Osgood testified that . Merrill was a very quarrelsome man, and in the habit of quarreling with female servants of the neighborh¢ od, and had chased his colored wo- man, Fanny Kandall, home on one occasion, and frightening her very much; he took every occasion to insult the members of his family. The case was dirmirsed, the court saying it ap- peared to be a neight srhood quarrel, and he ad- vised all the parties to go home and live peace- ably together. Jobp H. Merrill was then arraigned, charged with assault and battery on Frances Rai 1. This grew out of the same case, and it appears that it was A CONFERENCE WITH MR, MERRICK.

Another Inharwonious Meeting At a meeting of the Board of Colored Schov Trustees, a resolution offered by Mr. Wormicy in regard to the contract awarded to Hunt & Williams, builders and con*ractors, to erect a brick building on Capitol Hill, at the corner of C and 2d streets east, ‘that th”s board, or a ma- jority of this board, consummate this contract unmediately,”” was adopted. Yeas, Messrs. Syplax and Wormley. Nay, Mr. King. An acrid discussion took place, of a personal char- acter, between the trustees, but no further bus- imess was done, except to agree to appoint a superintendent for the new building. We men- tioned yesterday that Mr. Edward Clark, areli- tect of the Capitol extersion, declined w have anything moreto do with the matter. In his ‘etter to the board he says: “I observe by the published proceedings of the last meeting of th Board of Trusteeset the Colored Scheols that there was some Objections to my connectio: the school house about to be erected on Capitol Hill.

Meeting of the Investigating Co: “Cnltiee_-The Paro Au in. The committee to inve-tiga'e the charges made against Mr. John H. Crane met last even- ing in the Aldermen's chamber—pressnt Alter- men Stewart and Slater, of the coumittee, Henry Himber, clerk, Me. Crane, aad a nem ber of witnesses. MR. CO. H. RLTBS, late Surveyor and Superintendent of Sewers, testitied for defence that about the middie of July be was appointed Superintendent of Sew- ers. Mr. Donegan had charge of the work pre- viously, and made the assessments. Witness had been informed that the sewer had not been properly made, and having refused to sign the useerement, Mayor Bowen set three men to work to dig down and found that there was but one brick in thickness. He then gave or- ders to Mr. Crane to uncover the whole sewer, and found, between F street and Masachusetts enue, that it was but one brick in thickness except about ten feet in length. After it bad been ex; he notified the contractor that be must comply with the contract before ee would nen on te and re a4 tas and witness, on its com) acce Donegan had charge of the work when the fraud was perpetrated. Donegan had ac- cepted the work and signed two ments. It was false that he ) eye had charge of the work, as stated by It wae the duty of both the Superintendent and Commissioner to see that 100 feet of the sewer left open for inspection. Witness had not been offered a bribe. The contractors put in traps which he condemned, thought Mr. Ste. Costello sata at in the unsuitable trap3 should not. be used. that 5 recollects Crane said to him that the contractors said that they expected 21,200, and would divide be- tween the Superintendent and missioner. Donobue may have eaid something about it to witness, but, as he was a drinking man, he did not Cage apy confidence in him. Witness did not think Donohue could speak the truth, and could not put much reliance in Costello. Kecol- lects that Crane complained to him of the man- ner im which the work was done. Recollects that Mayor Bowen said he held Crane res ges ble. On cross-examination by Mr. Stewart, wit- ness stated that he did not believe Crane was tesponsibie for the use of the traps. The con- tractors were very shrewd, and kept a man on the bank to give the alarm, when they would throw down some earth and cover it; but if the commissioners had attended properly to the work the fraud could not have mM perpe- trated. MR. FORSYTH testified that he had been Surveyor for two years, and drew up part of the bill Cereonge the office ef Superintendent of Streets an: Sewers. Understood by the bill that the Super- intendent of Sewers had contro} of such work, but the commissioners should also the work. There was a difference of at $40 or 250 in the traps. If he allowed aman to put in improper traps it would be maifeasance in office. On eres8-examination witness said that thefraud might have been perpetrated under him, for he could not be there to see every brick putin. If the sewer was filled in without being inspected it was the duty of the Superintendent to order it opened. DAVID STUMMETS testified that Mr. Crane was frequently on the line of the sewer, and seemed auxious about it being done properly; heard that the contractors were enemies, and Donohue, on one occasion, said: ‘1)—n Crane; if he comes along here we will thrown bim In the ditch.” Witness recol- lects that Crane hada brother on the work, as also a cart, and they were engaged as others. AFFIDAVITS. ‘The following affidavits were read : Charles W. King states that when Donegan stated that tie contract was awarded to Gos- tello, Crane :emonstrated with the Mayor on the ground tuat the corporation had had trou- ble with him. Deponent was a bidder for the work, but denies that he offered any money to procure the contract; states that the traps re- quired by the contract at that time co:t about $100, when the traps the contractors attempted to use could be bought for about £59. George W. Hatton st utes that he heard Crane remonsirate with the contractors against the use of soft or salmon brick, and alko against covering up the :ewer as fast as laid, instead o: leaving one hundred feet open tor the inspec- lien of the Superintendent and Inspector of Sewers, as the contract required. That he went with him to the Mayor's office, and heard him complain to the Mayor that the contractors were violating their contract, and stated to Bowen that he was not sustained in his efforts by Mr. Donegan, the inspector, and that he would not be held responsible for the work. Bowen took a sheet of paper and wrote @ letter to the con- tractors, at the same time remarking it was Strange that Crane and Donegan should ditter so widely, as Donegan hai remarked to him that the ‘th street sewer was the best piece of work ever done in Washington. Deponent heard Crane complain that he was not sustained bv the Mayor in his efforts to have the work weil done, and that Crane said repeatedly that he teared he woul be removed from office because be would not allow the contra_tors to slight their work. Benjamin Severson states that when the work on the <u street sewer had been carried as far as G street, Crane called on deponent and reques ted him to examine said sewer, which he did, and found that the coptractors were attempting to violate the contract by the use of salmon or soit brick, and were filling up as iast as con- structing without leaving 4 reasonable space un- covered for inspection. Craue requested de- penent to report the facts to §. J. Bowen, Mayor, which he did. The Mayor informed him most emphatically that he had been assured by Mr. Donegan that the work was the best of the kin/ ever done in Washingion. He then reminded him (Bowen) of the evidence of Donegan’s in- competence and violation of truth, but as the Mayor manitested an unwillingness to hear more on the subject, deponent left, convinced that he Bowen) ought to be held responsible for the frauds perpetrated in the 4th street sewer. and not Crane, who always manifested a desire to have the work dene properly. Thomas E. Smithson states that he heard Lowen say to Bliss that he held Donegan, under whose superintendence the work wax done, en- responsible for the craud, that the name in A. Crane, Commissioner of the Fourth was not mentioned, but Bowen positive! seated that he held Di ae - entirely respon- Depovent heard complain that he could not make the cont: do their work properly, and that he was nut sustained in his efforts by Bowen or Donegan. Mr. Crane also read his affidavit. giving a full history of his administration. WITNESSES FOR THE PROSECUTION.
