Counsel for the Memoria,ists
Mr.. Williams.-Mr. Crane under what charge
OF specification do you call for all this infOrma-
ton?
Mr.. Crane read most of the charges in reply,
stating that the information called for was under
them.
Mr.. Chandler said he would take no exceptions
10 any OF the items Of information requested.
The affairs of the First National Bank were now
TO he brought in by these questions. However,
he should not object and was sure Governor
nj IN n tinn
upon that point. But he did say that the gen
tleman must refrain from calling for the same
things two or three times over. Mr.. Riddle
called for list of the contracts We furnished it;
Mr.. Riddle has disappeared from the prosecu
ton; then Mr.. Crane called for the same; then
Mr.. Green called for it, and now the Governor
is called upon. We have given much OF this in
formation already. 1t does not seem TO have
been examined by the memorialists and has not
been put in evidence by them.
Judge Poland suggested that Gov. Cooke and
MI. Chandler take the list of inquiries and
answer such as they thought proper, and those
they might not deem proper to answer would
then be specifically before the committee
Mr.. Eldridge.-1 suggest all

he stricken out 1t seems they put in all the
words they could, and then added the Res
MIR. Chandler offered in evidence the entire
history Of the canal, the various acts i'm relation
thereto, COZ tracts, SO filling volume OF many
under a misrepresentation the other day in stat
ing that the Tiber Creek arch would be narrower
as the work progressed. The arch would not be
decreased in width, but as it reachedthe end tn e
cost OF the foundation walls would be much less
TO the contractors; who on the whole work after
completion would not lose money.
bartholomew Oertly was sworn.
lGOy. Cooke said he would like to state that the
information asked of him by the memoralists
embraced such variety of subjects that it
would be impossible to furnish all by to-mor-
row, but he would do as early as possible
The chairman replied that the Governor was
not required to answer by to- morrow
Mr.. Oertly then testified that he made esti-
mates OF contracts handed to him: the bridge
over Rock creek at NJ street was to be an iron
structure; knew nothing about what portion OF
the cost the Taxpayers paid.
The witness was here shown the list of con-
tracts. and various questions were put to him TO
explain the list, but before he could do so the
hour of II O'Clock arrived, and the committee
adjourned until Tomorrow morning, at 10
O'Clock.
AN EPISCOPAL CHURCH SENSATION IN THIS

Sir John Hutchinson, clergyman of the church
OF Eng and, member of the PassiOnist Society,
and disciple of the advanced school of Ritua
lists, whe is on his way to Florida for his health

corner of Madison avenue and North Eutaw
street, on last Sunday. In the celebration Of the
communion service the titled divine introduced
some OF those ceremonies which are destined to
symbolic the faith of the ceebrant i'm the '.real
presence. I'm the cOnsecrated elements. These
genufiections and other ritualistic pastures are
Practiced by the Oxford divlnes, but are not
prescribed by any OF the authorized standards OF
the Episcopal Church in this country, and the
rule of faith which they teach was expressly de-
clared against at the late Geneva convention.
These unauthorized proceedings coming to the
ears of Bishop Nottingham, ne forthwith in
terdicted the Rev. Sir Hutchinson from Official
ing at Mount Calvary, Or in any other Episcopal
Church of the diocese of Maryland. Since the
resignation Of the Rev. Alfred Curtis, Mount
Calvary has been without n rector, and for its
better security hereafter the bishop has placed
the church under the care OF the Rev. DIR. Leeds
of Grace Church, and Rev. Mr.. Randolph, OF
Emanuel Church.
