The president was requested to cor with General Bab- cock. the water istrar, or the officer hav- ing charge of the Potomac water works, and inquire what causes the present condition of the water, and if some remedy cannot be ap- plied to render it purer. DR. VERDI READY AND WAITING. The board at this time was about wiery Serf adjourn, when Dr. Verdi stated that it vl been intimated that charges would be made against a member. and as he was the inter- ested party he would hke the matter to come up, as he was prepared to meet any charges. Tr. Bliss attend to my business in good time, sir. Dr. Verdi.—But I am the party charged, and it is my business also. Dr. Biiss.—Well, you can attend to your part of the business now. Prot. Langston said that one of the reports in regard to awarding the night soil contract | had been published, and he had no objection toDr. Verdi publishing his report, but he submitted as his (V.s) report had gone ou it was due to the that the majority re port be published. A QUESTION OF DECENCY. Dr. Bliss said that Dr. Verdi had clandes- tinely got his report in the papers. If he had bad any decency about him he would not baye acted in the manner he had done. Mr. Marbury objected to such languaze, and raised the point that, as the majority port had been considered in secret session, it | Should first be taken out of such session. | _ The President (Dr. C ruled that inas- much as the subject had been made public it conld be diseussed. | _ Professor Langston urged that the majority | report should be made public, and he | DEPEN: BOARD, jo the work for | two years it will cost them $15,000, and they apnot make more than mM; that these | bidders were the lowest that came within the | limit of time for awarding the contract en- | tertained by the board. In regard to the moval of the ith street wharf, he was favor- able to th> proposition, because he believed the locality for the temporary deposit of the offal was in too close proximity to the Exeersive Mansion. Dr. Verdi said if the doors had been opened there would have been no necessity for th: discussion. He had urged that the bids considered publicly (Mr. Langston—So did but the majority thought otherwise. If hé understood the presidentat the last meeting, he (Verdi) was to be lectured to-night. Dr. Cox disclaimed making any such asser- sion, but had simply stated that when the subject came up for diseussion he would have something to say. Dr. Verdi felt that he had been insulted and treated as if guilty of some crime. The president interrupted the saying that there was nothing board except to print THE MAJORITY REPORT, upon which the vote was taken, and the me- Uon agreed to. The report is as follows: | ne committee having met. according to direction €f the Board of Health, and after having held several conterences touching the matter submitted to them, and upon which | they now submit a report in behalf of the mi ity of the committee, reached, after due consideration and discussion, the tollow- ing conclusions: 1.

MIXFD TESTIMONY AS TO CHARACTER. Mr. Simmons, the principal of the school, stated to the committee that he had no knowledge of any coal being taken away. Mr. Taylor had taken things from his house ‘in a bag. and also from a store he hai kept there. Had examined the fuel occasionally, and had no reason to beliewe any had been taken away. Mr. Taylor was the most effi- cient, the best janitor ever employed in the building since he had been in charge of the sehool. Rev. W. H. Young told the committee that Taylor was known as a christian man aud a trusted officer of his church. Mr. Myers told the committee that the character of Mr. Taylor was not pleasant. One day while employed at Mr. Taylor's house he left a new umbrella there and hal never seen it since. Dr. Nichols had had Mr. Taylor up for taking wood. It was about three years a: i Rev. Mr. Arnold stated te the committes that he was sorry they nad called on him; the character of Taylor is bad. Mrs. Taylor, wife to the janitor, was catled on and stated thet they got their coal from the coal cart every week; that her husband had brought home a quantity of cinders once in a bag, and a lot of bottles at another Ellen Johnson made affidavit that she has repeatedly seen John Taylor bring a bag fall of something out of the school building, be- ing strongly impressed that it was coal. and ventured one day and opened the bag, which he sat down one day while he went into a grocery store, (kept by Mr. Rankin,) and = to her judgment, about one bushel of MORE DAMAGED CHARACTERS.
