Mr. Lyman served 1n the army during the war and was appointed to aclerskship in the second auditor's office, Treas- ‘ury department, in 1864. He was subsequently Promoted to be assistant chief of the station- ery division, and in 1877 was made chief clerk of the treasurer’s office. This position he has since held. He was an active member of the board of civil service examiners under Grant's administration, and did some hani work. The appointment is generally acknowledged to be an excellent one.

Some surprise is expressed that the President should have designated Mr. Knox to act as commissioner, as Mr. Chesley, the solicitor of the bureau, hag on more than’ one occasion assumed the duties of commissioner and is regard- ed as a very competent officer. The fact that Deputy Cominissioner Rogers’ term of acting com- missioner has expired, and the President has made no Sonal aient gives the impression that he 1s not to be selected to succeed Mr. Raum. Sen- ator Don Cameron, however, called upon the President to-day and urged the appointment of Mr. Rogers. Several names have been mentioned a8 Ikely to be selected, but it is generally con- ceded that they were guessed at. The quid nuncs are now all at sea.

MURCH AND THE Hitt INVESTIGATION.—Mr. Murch yesterday requested the Secretary of the Tréasury to allow him a confidential clerk to assist tn pronaring his case for the committee appointed to investigate the charges against Mr. Hil. | He also requested to be turnised with post age stamps and telegraphic privileges at the ex- pense of the department. The Secretary in- formed him that he could select any clerk th the department, provided his services could be spared from bis present duties, and also that he would sign telegrams necessary to the investigation, but that he had no authority to furnish postage ‘Stamps.

Lively Episode in the Trial To-day. THE COURT RETRACTS CENSURE OF MR. BLACKMAR— MR. DAVIDGE DECLARING THERE WAS A BARGAIN BETWEEN BLACKMAR AND RERDELL AS TO ALLOW- ING THE LATTER TO CHALLENGE JURORS, MR BLAGKMAR IS FUT ON THR STAND AND DENIES SUCH ARRANGEMENT. ‘When the star route trial was resumed this morning Judge Wylie sald: “Before Mr. Wilson proceeds I wish to makezone remark. I remember that yesterday Mr. Wilson referred to the testi- mony of Rerdoll in regard to his proposal to chal- lenge a juror, and after he had made the remarks on that subject an expression was used by the court which seemed to imply a censure upon Mr. Blackmar. I think probably that that remark was undeserved by Mr. Blackmar. There was no evidence of Rerdell that Mr. Blackmar made any proposition at all It was twholly the ‘thought and suggestion of Refdell_ himself made to Mr. Blackmar, to which Mr. Blackmar made no answer. So far’ as his faflure to make any answer 1s concerned, there might be some ground of complaint against Mr. Blackmar, but as no such suggestion was made by Mr. Blackmar to Rerdell, the whole tulng was Rerdell’s own conception. ’ And we have not heard Mr. Blackmar on the subject; I think it proper that the court should retract anything like censure in the remark made by the court yester- day. It was a brief remark, but It seemed to imply some censure on Mr. Blickmar. I do not wish to be understood now in that way. JT wish merely to be understood to be confining the cen- sure of the court in reg@rd to that matter to Rer- dell himself.” MB. DAVIDGE CHALLENGES THE GOVERNMENT TO PUT MR. BLACKMAR ON THE STAND. Mr. Davidge, rising, declared that the court was 1n error in its understanding of the testimony. ‘There was no mere proposition, buta positive bar- gain entered into between Rerdell and Blackmar, & government agent. “The only way,” sald Mr. Davidge, “1s for Mr. Blackmar to explain, or the government counsel to explain. We are perfectly Willing now that the trial should be suspended and Blackmar put on the stand at this time. It may be that it was through his superfluous zeal to help the government, but {t 18 most likely that Blackmar, the agent and employe of the govern- ment, obtained his instructions from a govern- ment officer. We are perfectly willing that Black- mar take the stand and say whether he acted of his own volition or under orders.” ‘MR. KER WILLING TO HAVE MB. BLACKMAR EXAM- INED. Mr. Ker, who was the only one of the govern- ment counsel present, sald: “I certainly will not object to Mr. Blackmar submitting himselt to the cross-examination of the counsel on the other side, and I assure you that Mr. Blackmar will come out straight in the matter.” The court having consented that Mr. Blackmar should tako the stand, Mr. Ker told Mr. Davidge to cal him, It is not for me to do that,” sald Mr. Davidge. “ I stand by the record.” ME. BLACKMAR TESTIFIES THAT HE MADE NO 4R- RANGEMENT WITH RERDELL ABOUT CHALLENGING JURORS, Mr. Chas. P. Blackmar, the gentleman referred to, is the Post Office department clerk having charge of the records used in testimony. He was resent, and ‘signified, in response to an inquiry the court, that he was willing to go on the stand. He was sworn, and Mr. Ingersoll conducted the examination. He said he was resent in court when Rerdell testifies He made no ar ement, with Rerdeil about challenging jurors. Rerdell made a suggestion to witness that he was willing to goon the stand and testify. He made a state- ment like this: That he should have the privi- lege of challenging his proportion of the jury. He wanted witness to communicate that fact to the government counsel. Witness had not given Rer- lell a list of Jurors to be challenged. Rerdell gave witness a list of four or more, which witness had now in his room. Witness communicated the fact to Mr. Merrick immediately. ‘The witness said he would produce this list if wanted. It was understood that Rerdell should challe certain jurors. Witness reported this fact to Mr. Merrick, Who was the only government counsel in town at that time, MR. MERRICK’S POSITION, “Mr. Merrick,” said Mr. Bleckmar, “perempto- rily ordered me to say to Mr. Rerdell that that Proposition could not be entered into; that it would not be proper for gov*rnment counsel to consent to such an arrangement; that 1t would not be honorable, and could not—must not be en- tertained.” 5 Mr. Ingersoll asked the witness if he had not had a conversation with § W. Dorsey yesterday afternoon in which he told Dorsey that he had Made such an arrangement. ‘The witness sald he had ha@a conversation with Dorsey in which he sald that what Mr. Wilson had sald in his speech was unfair to him. MR. DORSEY PROMPTING MR. INGERSOLL Mr. Dorsey at this point took a seat behind Mr. Ingersoll and appeared to be prompting him. “Did you in that conversation,” asked Mr. In- gersoll, “tell him that there was such an arrange- ment With Rerdell, and that you made it?” “No, sir,” said Mr, Blackmar, “and I don’t think Mr, Dorsey will say that, either.” “Did you not say to Mr. 8. W. Dorsey,” asked Mr. Ingersoll, “that they ought not to blame you fof this Rerdell matter, and that everything you nes done had been done by direction of coun- selr” “What I said was,”.said Mr. Blackmar, “that in everything I had done my hands were clean, and the remarks made yesterday were unfair towards me, and perhaps I said I had not done anything but what I had been instructed to do.” Mr, Ingersoll asked the witness if he had not stated to Mr. Boone that he ought not to be blamed, or something to that effect. The witness said i had stated to Mr. Boone Just what he had sald to Mr. Dorsey, und had also made the same remark to Mr. Davidge, that he ‘thought 1t was unfair to eriticise him. “ Did you say to him,” asked Mr. Ingersoll, “that you did not make such an arrangement?” “I do not kuow that I did,” said the witness. “I have not denied it anywhere. Ihave been very close about this matter. Ihave not allowed my- self to be interviewed or questioned.” MR. BLACKMAR DENIED EMPHATICALLY that he had said to Boone that he (Blackmar) did not propose to bear the burden of this thing, and they “‘couldn’t come any Bowen or Hoover busi- ne@s over him.” He had not said that the whole plan was conceived by Woodward. Mr. Ingersoll ae} asked the witness if he had not arrany a code of signals with Rerdell, the witness said that the first interview he had with Rerdell was at the Hamilton House, together with Mr, Woodward, in September, after Rerdell’s release from prison. The witness said that sub- sequently he met Rerdell in Novembe! ‘Tdell Gcairing to see witness during the It was fe bo hat when he wanted to see him Rerdell should look at the clock. In accordance with this signal Rerdell would come to and witness re 158. Merrick or Mr. Mr. Ingersoll desired to investi into the nature of these communications ween Rerdell and , but Judge Wylie prohibited it. ‘THE CQURT INTERFERES. “The court,” said Judge. Wylie, “ will not per- mit any extension of this examination beyond the point for which he was specially called, and that 1s the selection of the jury. “ST wane the witness,” sald MF. want the 4 produce tha list of- jurors given him by “I don’t know,” sald Ju Wylie, “ whether the court will admit that either. “The peqaiey, is whether there was any collusion between and an agent of the government.” Mr. Ingersoll that the list might be im- portant Jn another way if It showed that the per- sons named in it were challenged, but the court Would not admit it. ‘The witness sald he could not remember the names and did not know whether any of them were challeged or not. ‘The witness proceeding said that he re- a Merrick Rerdell’s proposition in re- jury, Mr. Merrick was Fig’ pers a n to What was sald to him, but not t say al himsef.

SHARP REMARKS OF JUDGE WYLIE. Mr. Davidge having declared it the duty of the court to make an investigation into the attempt to violate law, Judge Wylie said that he would4 not listen further to declamation of a violent kind charging the government with entering into a combination with Rerdell for the purpose of ¥io- lating the Jury law and obtaining improper mem- bers of the jury. ‘“Rerdcil,” said Judge Wylie, “was examined on this subject, and the Interpre- tation that was given yesterday by Mr. Wilson to what Rerdell produced astonishment in my mind, because In the course of the testimony I Was hot conscious that any such conclusion could be reached from Rerdell's statements; but when Mr. Wilson put his construction upon the test!- mony In regard to that transaction which he did yesterday, and charged complicity upon the agents of the government in seducinz Rerdell—” “His virginity disappeared some time ago,” said Mr. Davidge, interrupting. “This attempt,” continued Judge Wylte, “upon the sacredness of the jury, was a suggestion—an infamous suggestion. I ‘acknowledge that I was astonished, and I called for the evidence upon the subject. The evidence was read, and 1 came to the conclusion that it was a suzgestion of Rerdell's Teoe' ved in silence by Mr. Blackmar. I thought it Probable that Mr, Blackmar had not done his wh le duty in not denourcing bim at the time, but. ir tho face of that evidence I do nov see any foundation for the indignation against, the course of the government which has ‘nh uttered by counsel.” Judge Wylie again repeated the sub- stance of what he said at the opening of the court, In exoneration of Mr. Blackmar. ‘Mr. Ker having been asked if he consented to examining Boone and Dorsey, sald he would not gbject Af ‘the court desired it. He thought that this was a judicial investigation, and bis own opinion was that it would avull nothing even if Mr. Boone did contradict Blackmar. The court with this and declined to have the examination continued. MR. WILSON RESUMES HIS ADDRESS. Mr. Wilson then resumed h!s address to the Jury, and spoke until one o'clock, when the usual Tecess was taken.

This work was commenced several years ago, while the board of public works were in power, and has been con- Unued annually since that time by appropriations from boa herd until it hag culminated In quite a system of publie improvements in that direction, greatly benefitting private property as well. These appropriations, though made | primarily as a charity to keep the Poor people employed during the winter montns, has more than compensated the government in the value of its property in that section. The indications are that there will be many bullding improvements go a year in that neighborhood, and when the harbor im- provements reach into the Eastern branch, and the docks are cleaned out and deep water secured at low tide, there will be much shipping done on this portion of the river front in the way of wood and coal especially.
