Mr, Wilson insisted that Mr.-Brady had sent what had been called for by Congress, JUDGE WYLIE'S RULING. Judge Wylie held that the evidence before the committee could not be introduced as evidence in this tral. As to the effect of the act making ap- propriations for the star route deficiencies, he re- marked that the appropriation was $1,100,000, while $2,000,000 had been asked for, and there was a reservation in the statute which declared that it should not be treated as a retification or approval of the conduct of the officials.

Judge Wylie refused to admit the evidence, holding that what they offered in evidence was not a verdict at all, a8 it was not received, After some argument a recess was taken. Star Route Notes. The examination of the defendant, Miner, was concluded a little after three o’clock yesterday af- ternoon. Mr. Olcott, of the Post OMtve department, was then called to the stand, for the purpose of proving certain detatls of the business of the con- tract office. The time remaining before the adjournment, at four o'clock, was taken up by the consideration of’ an offer by Mr. Ingersoll to prove that the question of productiveness was as much disregarded by ad- ministrations before ahd since Gen. Brady was in office as It was at that time.

SKETCH OF HIS LIFE. ‘Mr. Hayward M, Hutchinson has suffered a re- lapse, and ts again dangerously ill. He had been doing well up to last Tuesday, but after a ride on the evening of that day he was prostrated by par- alysis, which very much impaired his sight, and it 4s with much difficulty he can now see at all. This morning he was exceedingly weak, and in a dect- dedty precarious condition. Mr. Hutchinson fs the oldest son of David Hutch- inson, of Milford, N. H. Ho was educated at the schools in_ the neighborhood of his home, fin- ishing at Mt Vernon, N. H. When quite a young man he settled in Baitimore, entering the foundry business with his uncle, Jonah Hayward. Subse- quentiy, with his brothers Ellas (now of this city) and Jesse he entered into business in Baltimore as plumbers and steam-ftters. Mr. Hutchinson Deing the oldest of the firm, his business and in- clination led him to do much traveling, and about the close of the war, at which time he was in rather poor health, he made @ trip to Alaska. Here he became acquainted with the Russian governor of that province, and, secing an opportunity, formed a company and obtained for ft the fur Seul business, by which he amassed a fortune. He has a wite and two children (daughters), one marrted to Mr. Charles Ball, of the firm of ©. Q. Ball & Son, and the other to Mr. John F. Olmstead. Although quiet in manner and’ undemonstrative in his ways, Mr. Hutchinson has been a valuatle citizen of Wakhington,and one who wili be greatly missed. He has made many and large invest- ments in real estate here, and has done much toward the improvement of the city by the con- struction of a handsome class of houses. The most Important example of this character 1s to be seen In the large and elegant residence he bullt on the corner of K and 15th streets, several years ago, Where he lived for some time,but which Was after: Ward occupled by Mr. Evarts while Secretary of State, and is now the residence of Senator Iiilt, Subsequently he built seven or eight desirable dwellings on N street, between 16th and 18th, and later a ‘handsome row on Massachusetts avenue, between 16th and 17th streets,one of which he has made his winter residence ‘for several seasons Past. In this, and in various other ways, he bas shown. his Interest In the welfare of the city, and given evidence of his confidence in her future frewth ‘and prosperity. He has, indeed, always n ready with his means and personal co-opera- tion to push forward al] movements looking to the advantage of the city, or the health and enjoy- ment of her people. His enterprise and public spirit has also been shown In the large and Intelligent expenditure of money at his “Sitka” farm, in Montgomery county, Maryland, where, by the introduction of all the best methods of agriculture and horticulture and the erection of the most approved style of farm Dulldings, he has given a t Impetus to the Tural interests of that Partof the state. simple and unpretending in all his tastes, he was never happler than when able to escape from the bustle and parade of city and society life, and occupy himself In superintending the work of creating a model farm from the wild waste of ground he had purchased, AU half-past two o'clock this afternoon Mr. Hutchinson, though no vetter, was no worse. The paralysis affects mainiy the spine and eyes, ‘The Wonderful recuperative power Mr. Hutchin- son has displayed may enable him to recover from the last attack, but lis condition 13 such as lo give his friends the most serious apprehension. ae See eg The Ha der Trial.
