ALLOWED THE BILL 1N EULL, fon of the Commissioners on the County Coal Matter. A MOST DISGRACEFUL. WRANGLE, The Chairman's Startling Interpretas tion of the Rules of Parliament Practice—McEachron's Offor ~Varied Views, The County's Coa’, County Attorney Mahoney was at tho meeting of the county commissioners yester day morning to talk for them about Mount & Grifiln's January coal bill. That firm was also represented by an attorney When the roll was called Messrs, son, Turner and Horlin answared. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. When the busi ness in hand was reached Commis sioner O'Keefo came in with the re mark that all the members were not present and thathe wanted uo snap Judgment. Au jntermission of half an hour was ob- taincd, Mr' Herlin voting i onposition to it Hefore the half hour haa clapsed the lonied for Corrigan came and business proceeded, Ihic ball was openced by the reading of Mount & Grifin's communication dated March 14, asking for an investigation, ‘I'hen arose a wild wrangle as to whether the investigation was on the January bill or he entire account of tho coal men, O'Keefe claiming that it was necessary to make an examination of the December bill in order to judiciously settle the January bill Mr. Borlin on the contrary demanded that the matter before the board arose from n motion of his own aud included only the January bill, O'lienfe moved that the December bill be taken in conjunction. The chair deciared the motion out of order, Mount & Grifin's attorney asked privilege 1o remark that it was absolutely impossibl to take up anything beyond tho January bill 10 view of the fact that his clients had only © preparations for investigating the Jan- 1. which e did with a cross-cxamina- tion by O'Keefe. Mr. Mahoney roso to state hia side of tho cuse, claiming thav the investigation was not for tho purnose of advertising anything or anyvody, but for the purpose of deciding just what the board owed Mouut & Griftin, and, i order to do so, they must take into consideration any credits or offsels which the board had against the contractors. I'he chairman took a hand attempting to k0w the purpose of the meeting was simply to show why the January bili should be cut down, He was interrupted by O'Keeffo and the firm’s attoiney read an interview with the last commissioner from Tite Bre upon which the demand for an investigation of Mouut & Griffin was based, O'Keefte rose and vigorously reiterated s statement as it avpeared 1 Lue Bre and stifted that be was ready to prove it. A con- fusion of questions followed and the decision of the chair was finally sustained declaring O'Kecife's motion out of orde *‘I'ie courts wouldn't sustain O'Kceffe, “Ask your attorney,” rotorted the chair. Mr. Mahoney cams to his feet to emphat. ically remark that he was nobody’s attorney, but came at the command of the board. Some oratorical fireworks followed as to wiio was plaintff aod who was defendant, participated in by the firm's lawyer, Mas honey ana O'Keeile, Mr. Mahoney began very lucidly to s forth that the burden of proof fell on the parties seeking an_investigation, when he was wterrupted by Mount & Grifiin's attor- ney accepting the burden of nroof. Lhe affidavit of the superintendent of the wines from which the coul was obtained was introduced, setting up the excellent quality of the nut eoal furnished to Mount & Grif fin ou December 24 and 2 Lhe reportof the committeo recommend ing the reduction of tho biil was then read, whict showed that the only questions bofore the board wero those of price and quality. 1. I Borthw! nager fc Mount & Grittin, was called testified that he was thoroughly familiar with lowa nut coal. The orders for conl were produced and identifiad by the witness, but objected to by the county attorney on the ground that they “were nov_properiy signed b, the commissioners, The witness furth testitied that il the coal ordered was deliv- ered to the county hospital and duly re- ceinted for by J. . Chambers, an employo at the hospital; that most of the coal was ordered by Mcilachron; that the a regate umount of the bill was $14; that 250 per ton was a very low price and 75 cents for hauting also a low price; that a car of simi lur coal was delivered to McCord, Brady & Co.; that all the coal was from that shipped by "I A, Bishop; that he had seen it all; thut it was excellent Iowa nut: that the sume coal was sold to other partics for &1 — only it was screcncd [by O'Koefe—It wakes somo difference” ] ; that his house had purchased similar coal from other parties in town for §2.50 per ton, doing the hauling themselves. Cross-examined by Mahoney—Coal was delivered ou order of McEachron but imew of his authority ouly from hearsay: that Lo iad general information of Mckashron's Lewg 1n the employ of the county from hear- also; that - all orders but one R signed by McEaechron; that one was sigied by Commissioner Ander.

Burlin objected to the length of tho tostimony, but was overruled and the cross- examination concluded. U'ne orders wore then gone over and it was developed that un order for eignteen loads was issued and thirteon of nut and four of lump wero delivered, the lump coal, wituess claimed, bemg delivered on a tele phone order because there was no nut in the yardas, The difference 1n price was 25 cents per ton, but in tho opinion of the witness the valie to the county was about the same, A deep sitence foll ‘on the room while the witness attempted to explain woy some De- cember bills upppeared_attached to tho Jn uary bills. Ho finally decided that 1t was a clerical error of somo sort, as therc was uo charge for them in the bills. Ailenbeck was catled and tostifiod that he was in the employ of Mount & Girifin as yard foreman und weighmaster 1o January up to the 1Sth and corroborated the testis wouy a8 to the kind of coul sent out Georgo Miller had been in charge of tho yurds sinee about January 20 and testified as o sending the lump coal Mr. Durlon, duy fireman tho county hosnital, had never fired before and knew very liitlo nbout coal, but supposed the fiy stuff furnished was coal but did not know Haus Keil swid s name was Mr. Reif ana that he had worked at the county hos ital C.

He thought Mr. O'IKeeffe would bo willing to vote for clearing tho firm of the suspicion that hud been thrown over them as soon as he was shown that the charge wus wrong. The firm would not be satisfiod unless they received the vote of Mr. O'Keeffe when the matter came to a vote. Tho attor- ney then went into a statement of the cfiect such a suspicion would have on gtho business of tho firm. The firm of Mount & Grifiin had been in husiness i the city for years, and it was a very grave matter to cast such o suspicion on its business transactious.

Iie said he had looked at the coal several different times; had inquired of the engineer a8 Lo the quality of the coal; had gove to the Union Pacific shops and investuzated the coal there; had looked at the coul as it came from the mines, and had taken samples of the coal at the hospital for comparison, and he was thoroughly satisiied that the coal wus not lowa nut , but was siack coal, and was only worth 31.75 per ton, Mr. Berlin stated that he had seen the coal and he knew it was what was known in this state as nut coal. Ho therefore moved to al low the bill in full. Mr. O'iKeeffe nsisted that the members should take time to look into the matter and satisfy themselves before they voted on it. He nted the members to go and see the t as it came from the mines and then look at the coal at the hospital, Nir.

Mr. Corrigan then moved that the board adjourn until Monday at 10 o'clock, when the bills of Mount & Grifin for coal supplied to the city poor and poor farm will be in vestigated.
