Had known bills to be collected by "ofl
and on" men, but that was matter be-
tween them and the collectors to whom
the bills were charged. Last summer he
met Mr.. L. G. Quinn on Walnut Hills,
and in conversation Quinn said he had
the books, the contract and the specif-
cations on the Barger contract over
at his house. Quinn said Barger had
soft thing of it, and he Mr.. Quinn]
thought he would have the contract set
aside. This conversation took place some
time in August, about the time the reso-
luton was offered to the Board, and
passed. to stop Barger's work on the
reservoir. Mr.. Barger did not stop work,
wanted with the books and papers, ex-
cept that he wanted to have them eX-
amined. About three months after the
talk had with Mr.. Quinn in regard to
the books, Mr.. Barger, as witness re-
membered it, told him that he had an
appointment with Mr.. Joseph II. Red
mond at the Pendleton street car stables,
in regard to his contract, and that he
had Mr.. Fred. Myers in the next apart
ment to overhear any proposition that
Redmond might make. The appointment
was fulfilled, but Mr.. Barger did
not tell witness what proposition
Redmond had made. Barger also
told him that Quinn had
said to him (Barger) that he would like
to be interested in Barger's contract.
Barger had in speaking of these matters
said he understood Redmond wanted too
big money; that he wanted $30,0 900, and
he Barger) would not give up a cent, as
he considered his contract with the city
binding. Did not know anything about
delinquencies on the part of the collec-
tors, and did not know how Mr.. Quinn
had come into the possession OF the
Water-works books to which he had re-
ferred as having at his house. Witness
might be mis- taken as to whether it was
Mr.. Barger or Mr.. Fred. Myers who told
him about the meeting at the Pendleton
Street Railroad, but his best recollection
was that it was Mr.; Bairger. Witness
knew of some irregularities on the part
of Andy Bowman. Knew that some of
the men had complained that they
had not received their pay, and
that the matter coming to the
attention of the Secretary, Mr.. Mayer,
the paymaster had taken his payroll to
Mr.. Snelbaker, and showed him that the
money had been paid to Mr.. Andy Bow
man. lie had also seen the envelope all
luded to by Mr.. Mayer and Mrs. Fred.
Myers as having been changed by Mr..
Andy Bowman. Knew that the figures
on tnat envelope had been changed from
$6 to $4, and had learned that there was
only "a in the envelope, while Nh. Bow
man had returned it to the man who re.
ceived it for $6. Had heard some talk
about the pistols having been put to Joe |
Redmond's head, but only through COM
mon rumor. One day, however, he heard |
Mr.. Snelbaker tell Redmond in the Wa.
ter-works Office that if he Redmond |
said he had ever put pistol to his head, |
he was a damned liar. That was all he |
heard pass between them on the subject,
and knew nothing further about the mat.
;er. Did not know that Mr.. Mccormick,
" any other collector, except Mr.. Kra-
ner had made changes in the record
'ook.

The Committee continued its work last
night: Mr. Snelbaker sent communi-
cation saying he was not able to be
present at that meeting but would do SO
in the future.
Mr.. George Setter testified that he had
been In the employ OF the Water-works,
as foreman and assistant bill clerk,
from the fall of 1872 until the spring of
1874. Remember conversation he had
had with Captain Santmyer in regard
to the changes made in bills by the col
lectors. Had stated to Captain SAINT
myer that Kramer had sometimes
changed his bills on the record
book. The changes were frequently made
where the survey was made for warm
bath, and the house against which the
bill was made had only cold bath. A
hot bath was charged IS, cold bath So.
Never told Santmyer that the collectors
had made deductions in their bills and
altering the collectors book to CORE
spond, and putting the difference in their
pockets. Had never known anything Of
that kind to be done In the department.

Old Merritt, Of Griffin, Ga, was SUP pos.
cd to be rich, and it WAS spspeoted that be
kept his money somewhere noar his person.
He had the reputation of miser, and kept
his own counsel. He had no known rela.
tons. Well. Old Merritt died one day, and
tho Public Administrator searched all over
his premises for money, but could not ind
. cents worth of reward for his trouble.
II WAS after all, doubtless a mistake. Old
Merritt was As poor a. church mouse.
But he had some riokety furniture, and
this was sold ut Administrator sale. 1t
did cot pay tho public functionary's fee.
They cleaned out Old Merritt and settled
up bis estate according to law made and
provided in Georgia. A Mr.Henry Fletcher,
of Butts, bought pieoe of Merritt's furui-
ture and took it home. It was an old side
board. Soon afterward Fletcher found \
secret drawer in the sidebosrd, and in the
drawer bag Of gold and bag OF silver,
all coined and ready for use. Fletcher will
not tell the amount, If indeed be has count
cd it. The Administrator wanted share,
but Fletcher was close fsted and ine1or-
able. All for defence, but not q cent for
tribute. Old furniture ought to bring bet
ter prices than it usually does. There's

Sultan is about $4,000, 900 . year. An

palaces and elaborate kiosks occur 10 sue.
csesien at distance of little more than

ed to furnish daily 200 sheep, 100 lambs

the esta blishment Of the sovereign and the
miserable poverty of too many Of his sub
lscts the contract is truly melancholy. The
incomes of the principal ministers Of State
ere such a. wonld grievously shock the

SNAIL eating has been in vogue in Italy
for many centuries. In Pliny', time Bar
barry snails stood first in repute, those Of
Sicily ranking next; and it was the custom
to fatten the creatures for tie table by diet
ing them upon meal and new wine. In
modern Rome fresh gathered snails are
hawked by women from door to door, for
the benefit of good housewives, who boil
them in their shells, stow them, or fry them
in oil. An Englishman strollng about
Palermo came upon some people gathered
round a number of baskets filled with what
at first sight, he took to be whits pebbles.
Upon nearer acquaintance the pebble. prov
ed to be snails, waiting to be thrown into
= large iron pot standing over FIRE made
between four stones, and boiled with herbs
and tomatoes, for retailing to the expsctans
crowd. Dining aftsrward with Sicilian
gentleman, he was invited to partake of
soms sna,ls treated in this way, and, for
politeness sake, forced himself to swallow
couple of them, although he found It i'm
possible to feign the delight with which
his host and bis daughter sucked the mol
lusks out of Their shells.
