Twerp to Rewars Waere He Is.—Judge ady yesterday denied the motions of Tweed's counsel, by which it was sought first to chang- hie place of imprisonment to Ludlow street, and next to abbreviate histerm by two years. On the first motion it was argued by couiisel that a sentence to the county Jail did not mean to the penitentiary on the island, and that the parts of the sentence which added the supplementary years were of no effect, because they specitied bo place of imprisonment. For this last point the Judge heid that the parts of the sentence were to be taken together, and that the naming the prison im one place was sufficient, aud that the prison ar described in the sentence was the ison in which the culpritis held.—V. ¥.

THE DISTRICT INVESTIGATION. The Street Pavement Contracts, Ete. Conclusion Yesterday's Proceedings After our report of the District investigation closed yesterday, Wm. B. Parisen, who was on the stand, was further examined at length AS TO THE MERITS OF VARIOUS PAVEMENTS On cross-examiuation by Mr. Mattingly, the of the Scharf patent pavement was in New York. He replied Mr. Mattingly then read from Parisen’s testi- mony before the investigating committe where he said that they had received from to $3.50 per yard for the Scharf pavement w York. Parisen (interrupting.)—That reporter w: It | said that Lied. We never got stn Fr. Ailison (to witness.)—You had batter sit nearer ourreporter, then, or you may bo again misrepresented. ‘The witness took chair next to the official reporter. In reply to a question, he stated that | he thought the concrete pavement the beat in th rid. Wood will rot, bat with concrete ail that is needed to be kept in repair is the surface. Ir there is any error it will show itself in one vear. He was then asked by Mr. Mattingly if be did not think a guarantee for three yeara was sufficient to cover any defect ~ that ,towbich he replied, “ Yes.” He was cross-examined at length in regard to the work that he had done in Jackson Place; then by Mr. Black as to the interest Mr. Evans had in Mr. Zug’s stone-crushing machine. The ex- amination developed no new facts either for or against the District government. THE ANSWERS TO COLUMBUS ALEXANDER’S PAVEMENT CIRCULAR. Mr. Christie said he desired to introgace c2r- tain documents as a basis for their demand tor subpoenas duces tecum. He then produced a let- ter, saying it was from C.L. Faller, in the office of the city engineer of Troy, N. pressed hisopipion in regard ‘to certain pa ments. This, with other papers produced, were examined with agood deal of curiosity by the counsel for the District and the members of the committee. It appeared that they were in an swer toa circular sent by Mr. Columbus Alex ander to various parties, @ copy of which circu- iar Mr. Christie said he would furnish. Mr. Allison said these documents must be con sidered by the counsel for defense to ascertain whether they would take the written word of these men. If they declined to do that, then the committee would have to act upon fhe question of issuing subpoenas and sending for them. He supposed the object of the memorialists was to show that pavements had been laid that had proven failures elsewhere. Mr. Christie—Yes; after they proven bad they had continued had been jog them ere. Mr. Thurman said that published reports might be convenient for reference, if any had ween made and printed after these pavement: had been found interior. They might prove something, butthe letters of individuals, might be interested parties, could nardly be taken. Mr. Mattingly said he thought the connse1 should produce the circular to which the letters were answers. it was finally decided to turn over all tt persto counseland let them give their ans ver to-day. In answer toa question of Mr. Allison, Mr Christie said they desired subpwnas for Messrs Latta, Kilbourn, Zug, and Clepnane. = To-day’s Session. ‘The committee reassembled at 10 o’clock this morning, all the members being present ex- cept Mr. Jewett. Mr. Christie called the attention of the com- mittee to certain requests of the first memorial- ists, asking for the appointment of acompetent civil engineer. He thought one ehould be ap- peinted. The memorialiste were willing to pay the expenses of one themselves; but in order io give such @ report verity, he thought an engi- heer shoul! be appointed by the committee. ‘Mr. Harrington suggested that the memoria'- ists appoint an engineer, the District govern- «ment one, and one be selected by the chief cu- ‘gineer of the army. Mr. Allison said the committee would take cognizance of the request, and early action might be expected. Mir. Christie called attention to certain en- tries in Gov. Shepherd's answer on page 422, relative tothe removal of 32,015 square yards of cobble stone from Pennsylvania avenue at 15 cents per square yard. In this connection he called attention to the expenditures of tue Treasurer of the Board ot Public Works, for certain payments made te Albert Gleason for the removal of cobble stone on Pennsylvania ayenue between 17th street and Kock creek. He asked for the production and inspection of certain contracts numbered in the memorial- ists charges, of which he furnished a list to counsel tor the District government. He said be desired to prove that advances were made to certain contractors. Mr. Mattingly—We admit in our answer that advances were made. Mr. Christie called for contracts numbered 31 and 32, which were produced. He offered in evidence a portion of No. 31, a contract made wit Lewis S. Filbert; be said the original blanks in the 8th section provided for partial payments upon the certifi- cation of the engineer of the Board of Public Works, not until such @ Certification was given; he then read an amendment in the con- tract, which provided that partial payments should be made by the board if they deemed the same necessary to a more vigorous proseca tion of the work. He also cali the attention of the committee to an extension of a coutract, No. 32, which gave 25 cents additional prices to the sum named in the body of the contract. It was needless for him to say that he deemed it a violation of the statutes. THE DISTKICT AUDITOR'S CHIRP CLERK oN THE STAND. Jobn Morrie, sworn, and examined by Mr. Wilson.—Awm ctiief clerk in the Audicor’s office of the District government. Witness explained the form of auditing accounts; it has been the practice, as far as he knows, fur the engineer to certify only to the quality and quantity of work done; not to extend the prices on the vouchers; the Auditor extends sucb amounta. He ex- plained at length the Parisen bills with the board, and the amounts paid him; the certiti- cates issued amounted to $39,436.43. Q. Then the statement in the Governor's answer that certificates were issued to him for $43,000 is a mistake? No, sir. There is a mistake in the heading. The cost of the ma*e- rial furnished by the board should be added; these two amoun‘s will make up the Gover- Lor's figures subinitted in his report. Witness was handed a paper and asked if he recognized the siguature? He did as that of Mr. Lay, the aaditor. The i contained tig- ve to 9th strect, Vermont avenue,and otber pavements, which, upon motion of Mr. Christie, was admitted as evidence. MORE PAPERS ASKED FOR.
