The District Investigation-Evasi and
Ridiculous Answers OF Witness
What the Rev. Calvin Brown Re-
ceived.
In the District Of Columbia Investigation Com
mittee to-day several witnesses were introduced,
who testified that no Salmar brick were used In
the street intercepting sewer, and that the work
was first class in every respect Lewis Clephane,
Collector Of the District was recalled ana exam
ined with reference to the formatton OF the
Metropolis" and other paving companies prior TO
the letting OF the contracts by the Board OF Public
Works. He admitted that one OF the objects In
consolidating the various patent pavement In
terests was to prevent competition.
Mr.. Rae, OF Chicago, testified that 1t had cost
about So so per square yard to lay the De Golyer
and Mcclellan pavement No. 2 In washington, but
that he had figured on the basis Of receiving pay
Mr.. Kirkland was again upon the stand this after
noon. and was examined about an hour and hall.
HIS remarks were evasive and ct times ridiculous.
He reiterated his that he had received all
the proceeds OF the Chit.enden notes, with the
ception OF So which had been received by Rev.
W. Calvin Brown. He was questioned sharply con-
corning an extract from letter written by him,
dated New York, April 16, TO Wilcox In this city,
in which he refers TO Mcclellan as an ass. As
specimen OF his replies to Undergraduates the fol-
lowing furnishes q sampe:-
By Judge Thurman
O. What do you mean In that letter by saying
A. mean that ne did not do good work on
his Washington contract, and SO informed the
O. Do you mean to say he was an ass for tell
4 say he informed the committee that he
did not do good work.
The committee are very much dissatisfied with
the replies made by the witness and do not give
much, II any, credit to his testimony. He init.
mated desire to 60 to New York tonight. The
committee directed him to remain In the city and
hold the sergeant-atArms OF the Senate respon.
sible for his presence on Monday.
The Senate Committee and the Currency
Bill.
The Senate Committee on Finance held q long
session to day on the CURRENCY question. There is
no oimcuity among tue memoers Vu tnc keAeIAA
features OF q free banking clause, OF which they
are in favor; but there is no agreement on the
other branches OF . financial BILL the members
differing widely in their opinions.
Statement by Judge Davis.
The Committee Of Ways and Means have received
rom Judge Davis a statement similar to that
recently published in the HERALD, which seems co
have been considered proper owing to supposed
or alleged incorrect report OF Hennan's testimony
before the committee.
