Ss. ntington. A meeting of the Washington Cinb was held at the club house on New York avenue this af- ternon, to take suitable action in respect to the memory of the late W. S. Huntington, and it Was numerously attended. Mr. Berrett, in calling the meeting to order, it war hardly necessary tor him fo say any- , even if this was the occasion, in relation to the deceased, who was weil known to al sa other than that he was aman of mark in basi: ness life, and was one of those genial generous men who make friends among all with whom they are acquainted. «l moved that a committee be ap- to draft resolutions expressive of the they have sustained in the death of Mr. tington, adopted, aud Messrs. Shepherd, Homer and Kilbourn were appointed, and suv. ly reported the following: members of the Washington Club have learned with deep regret_that our fellow-mem- ber and friend. Wiiliam S. Huntington, is dead. it is deemed fitting, therefore, that, in special meeting. appropriate action be taken with refer- ence to the funeral of the deceased, and that we give testimony of our grief respecting this sad event ip such poor words as we may com- mand ings, no eulogies we may utter, can convey to ‘ments of grief that overwhe!m us at this sent. We ly tender our heartfelt *ympathies to the family of our departed friend, and unite in testifying to his great goodness of heart. his high bearing and character asa gen- tieman, his enterprize and public spirit, and, above all, bis true devotion to the Right and his firm Friendship. As a mark of respect, the members of this tend the Tuneral; these proceedings shall be entered upon the records, and a trans- same sent to the family of the de- ceased. In presenting the report, Mr. Shepherd said he | should not attempt any word of eulogy for mere words would be futile in expressing the sorrow Which now touched the hearts of all the friends of the late Wm. S. Huntington. He had known him for ten years and he could truly say that he never knew a man who loved his fellow man better than he, who was truer in his friendships | €r who was more ready to do a good deed. This | city had met with a loss which it would feel for @ long time te come. In whatever pertained to the good of Washin; advance its material interests enlisted his hearty co-operation. My heart is filled with grief. ‘The resolutions were acopted and the mecting adjourned. A Motive Pow o Comrngeerp Al ccm mittee on manufactures was held at Metze- rett Hall.

Referring to the smoke and dust where steam power is used, he said it was almost impossible for a gentleman to keep his linen clean im some cities, particularly in St. Louis and Pittsburg. It was therea suggested that the dirty linen could be sent here te be washed out by the investigating commit- Mr. Campbell remarked that both water air were plentiful, and the gentlemen could go ahead with their experiments. ——— THe Jaraxtse Empassy. — Iwakura, the | Chiet Ambassador, remains lington and makes but few ¥ da, of the Japanese army, Col.

Semuel Fowler, who testified a few == since, appeared and was allowed to explain his testi- | meny in relation to the contradictory state- ments of bimself and Mr. Gulick. Dir. Fowler said: Iam here as an unwilling | witness. I have taken no part with the in- | jumctionists and am not one of the m in this cause, therefore I have no animosity inst any one. I am here to deny in toto | what Mr. Gulick has stated. He bas stated falsely. I have no recollection in the world of calling on Mr. Gulick and leaving my card for | him requesting him to call on me. [Witness | here produced a note from Mr. Gulick, pub- lished in Tue STAR a few days since, request- | Ing bim (Fowler) to call on him (Gulick) the next morning.) The property alluded to by | Mr. Gulick as purchased of me was purchased | on the 5th of January, 1871, and net a tew days before the time Mr. Gulick called upon me, as stated by him. Mr. Eldridge.—He did not | chased it + y that he pur. but that he and did not know ther the interest was due annually or semi- nally. r. Fowler.—When I recetved Mr. Guilick’s note I did not know what he wanted, andcalled vpon him. He said the change could be made in the location of the market-Louse square, and | am: | M | that $12,000 would make the chan I said semething about seeing other members of the committee. He gave me the names of the other | members, but not in writing, and said he would | rather that I would see them. Prior to the de- rture of the Governor for Europe I waited on | him, and he stated that he was in favor of ac- cepting Mr. Corcoran’s offer, and would use | his best efforts to have the’ market on that square, and Iso informed Mr. Gulick. Seeing | that he was so much in favor of it we felt easy, | and took no more trouble about the matter | Mr. Gulick states that he called on me the next day after writing the note, and by reference to | the calendar it will be seen that that day was Sunday, therefore I wasnot at my office. Again, Mr. Gulick says I told him he could have the corner lot at his own price. Gentlemen, I own rner lot, and therefore did not say he could | have it. It is untrue that I told him to tell the | committee that each one of them could have a lot. Again, be says I followed him trom the council chamber, and importuned him to say | nothing about my proposition to him. That is false. I never spoke to Mr. Gulick in the legis lative council but once, and then I said a tew words to him atter the meeting; but not one step did I walk with him, and not once did [say any- thing about him not mentioning anything which Isaid. He said to me:—“ Of course, this is be- tween ourselves.” I replied :—* Certainly.” | In answer to questions of Mr. Crane, Mr. Fowler said that if the interest on the notes had been made payable semi-annuaily it would have | been due in July, and it was instead of that due in September. Resuming witness said:—Mr. Gulick called upon me. Mr. Gulick had taken up ten of the notes already and had them in hispocket when he testified, or should have had them in his sate. As to saying he could purchase lots cheaper in that neighborhood I dare say I did jokingly remark that he could purchase property there cheap. Jridge.—You said that Mr. Gulick told Mr. E you the Savage party was bidding high. He denies making any such statement as that. Mr. Fowler.— Well he has forgotten it Mr. Crane.— What is the assessed value of the Savage square A.—I think it is $33,000. They agreed to pay | $120,000. | | Mr. Harmer.—What is your opinion as to the value of that square? ‘A.—It has a large double house upon it, but as 8 speculation I would not like to give more than © cents per foot tor it. By Mr. Eidridge:—I pay alarge amount of | taxes on real estate in this city; some pieces are assessed at the full value, others are not. I have a house on E street; the building is assessed at $15,000 and the lot at $5,000. A gentleman | next door, whose house was more valuable, | sold his for $13,500. That was the assessment | under the old administration. By Mr. Harmer:--The average assessed value | of my property is not greater than its real value; | 1 bave two houses 1 built in I851; the | £8,000, and are assessed now at $16,000; [ contend | that the style of a house, the age and decay of a house are against its real value..and the assess- ment should not be above the or | have lots on H street assessed at 7 | foot; I have offered them on long time at t | price, and cannot get it; aman has no redress om the Board of Public Works, and I do not | believe Congress intended to invest four men | with euch power. LICK EXPLAINS. MR. Mr. Gulick being present was permitted to make his explanation and said: If there is anything more solemn and binding than an oath I would like to knowit. If it were possible to | have the Almighty Being here, who knows our | thoughts and reads our hearis, I would be | giad. | ©'Mr. Starkweather. —He is here. |. Mr. Gulick.—Yes, but I mean visible to | as 3 positive that he was at my place of business a1 | left the note, and my young man told me tl | been there two or three times to see me. * le mistaken. I had a right to that Mr. Fowler wanted to see me about the property, a= | stated the other day. Ail the ap- | proaches ever made to me were made by Mr. ‘owler, Iam most positive. I never gave him any | encouragement, and never gave any man any en- ent that I would support the purchase coran square. I could not have dont: #0, as Thad seen the premises and felt satistied, and do fea) satistied now, that the Savage sqaare isthe most suitable. In reference to | Mr. Fowler offering mea lot, I say he did. I am not sosure it was a corner lot, but have that impression. When { refused to buy it he offered me x lease upon it for ninety-nine years. He d.d follow me a part of the way hoine from the Council chamber on two evenings, and asked me to say nothing akout what he said. In anev cr to questions by Mr. Crane, Mr. Gu- lick said be thought $120,000 fair price tor the | Savage square. Personally. he knew but little about the value of property in that locality, but took the evidence of others. He was getting | Secents a foot for ground on Capitol hill, and be supposed that the Savage square was worth #1 per foot.
