The AImshouse Coal Contract.


HOW THE LOWEST BIDDER FAILED TO RECEIVE IT
ALLEGED UNFAIR DEALING.
For several days past there have been accusa-
tions of unfairness made against the Trus-
tees OF the Poor in their award of the
contract for coal. In order to get correct un-
deratandng of the matter, COMMERCIAL re-
porter, this morning, visited Mr.. NJ. V. Pyle,
from whom the following information was OBJ
tanned
Before the awarding of the contract Mr.. Pyle
was solicited personally (the Board don't adver-
tse for proposals, although they consume al
most 200 tons annualy) to put in proposals for
furnishing the Almshouse with coal, by MIR.
Lackey and Mr. Barlow, to whom the proposals
were given. One, or both, of these gentlemen
WAS invited into the coal yard and there shown
the Locust Mountain coal stored away.
This was the kind desired, and the
utmost satisfaction WAS expressed with that
which they saw. But on the day the bids were
opened, Mr.. Pyle was further solicited to fur
nish bids for Locust Run coal, which he de
clined co do, and the award was made to James
Murphy, although member of the Board con-
fessed to Mr.. Pyle that his bid was the lowest
he thinks about % cents per ton, or on tho 1870
tons to be supplied s45.4O
The excuse given why the award was not Civ
en- to Mr.. Pyle was that the Board determined to
take tho Locust Run coal after the proposals had
been invited, but he was assured that had he
bid on this lie would have got the contract.

The Pcach cutler Case.

TEMPORARY DIsrosITIoN OF 1T IN THE L. =. COURT
The injunction case OF Il. W. Lockwood
against John A. Jones was temporarily disposed
of in the U. $. Court, yesterday afternoon, by a
suspension of the injunction, until the further
orders of tho Court The Issue hinges
on the employment in the peach-culler
patented by Mr.. Jones of slat bottom, for re-
Ilraiing the leaves aud dirt from the fruit
Which Mr.. Lockwood claims is an Infringement
upon patent previously obtained by him. Mr.
Jones, on the other hand, insists that there are
differences in the construction Of the two bot
toms, sufficient to distinguish them, for while
Mr. Lockwood's consists OF concaved Stats bis il
u plain open one. But aside from this, Mr..
Jones insists and announces his readiness to
prove that the bottom patented by Mr. Lock
wood is no new thing ; that it has been in the
knowledge and use of farmers everywhere for
many years, in sorting potatoes, fruit, &c, and
tat it is not properly entitled to patent.
Mr.. Jones's cutler il an extensive piece OF ap
laratus, while that of Mr.. Lockwood il very
simple affair.
The Court was asked by plaintiffs counsel
10 require security from the defendant, pend
ing the further consideration OF the case, to
provide for any damage done by the latter to
Ills patent, but this the Court held under ad-
Nhenent.

y'he Charlie Ross Trial.

wEsTERvELT's STATEMENTS OFFERED IN EVIDENCE
--supERINTENDENT wALLING ON THE STAND
THE INTEREST IN THE COURT ROOM.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept g
In the trial of William Westervelt to-day the
first witness was Robert N. Leslie, reporter in
the employ of The Philadelphia L,dger. He tes-
titled that after Westeryelts arrest last April he
took down part of statement made by the
prisoner at the Central Police Station, concern
ing his knowledge of the Ross case. Mr.. A. T.
Scott Il phonographer, reported the latter
part of the statement. The document was read
TO the jury, Westervet listening lntently to ev-
cry word leaning forward on tile railing of the
dock with an inter- st greater than any he has
shown before. Mrs. Westervelt shared her hus-
bands concern about the document, never TAX
ing her eye from the reader until he had finish
ed. Every one in the coiirt-room seemed to ap-
preciate the Importance of the declaration,
there being no noise to interrupt the witness
except what came from the street below.
Capt. Helms of the Philadelphiapo testified
that he heard the prisoner mako these state
ments, and that no promises or Inducements
were held out to him
Superintendent Walling of the New York po-
lice force was upon the stand all the afternoon.
He suspected Mosher and Douglass as
early as the latter part Of July, 1871.
On Aug. 10 Westervelt was brought to bis resi-
dence. Witness offered him the whole reward
if he recovered the child Two hours were spent
over the subject. Westervet said in answer to
the offer, that there would be so many police
men in it that there would be very little for his
share. He wanted to know what he could make
out of it. The witness had three subsequent
interviews with Westervelt, who professed to be
among the police to recover the child At the
third or fourth interview, Westervelt said that
if the police would watch the Astoria ferry they
might catch Mosher and Dougass lie contin-
ued his pr, tended aid to the police up to the
time of the death OF the kidnappers, being at
times however, caught in prevarication. Super
intendent Walling concluded his direct testi-
mony, and will be cross-examined tomorrow.
