The investigation was resumed by the
Council Committee last night, City So
licitOr Strong conducting the eXamina-
tion. Mr.. Gassaway Brashears, Super
intendent Of the Water-works, was the
first witness called, and stated that he
examined all pay-rolls before submitting
them to the Board; that the collectors
were required to make quarterly. Settle
ments. They were charged with their
bills, and when they returned them were
tcredited with the amount. When they
returned their money they got two re-
ceipts, one from the Secretary and one
from the City Treasurer. He considered
that the failure OF the collectors to settle
up at the close Of the last quarter was
owing to the negligence OF the Secre-
tary, who had not kept his books posted
up to date.
In July, 1874, first found that the COL
lectors were failing to make their week.

must be a change, and for awhile things
went along better. Issued an order In
about that time the change in the system
of collections took place and the COL
lectors were unable to settle. Knew
nothing of the book used for recording
sales Of scrap iron, or of the missing
cash book. Knew nothing of Merk or his
delinquency, or his relations with Kra-
mer. Knew that the contract for ce-
ment was awarded to the Rock Haven
Cement Company as the lowest bidder,
and knew that the cement was good.
Did not know of any persons being car
ried on the pay-rolls, and could not say
as to who appointed men not appointed
by the Board. Left Geo. Campbell otf
the payroll because he refused to do his
work. He also refused to sign the pay
roll for James Chumley and Chas. Sim
monds because they did not work for the
Department.. Knew of the old iron trans
action with MIR. Hi1b. Sold it to him
himself.
Mayer, the paymaster in 1874, reported
to him that bowman WAS drawing more
money than payment tor the services of
his men amounted to and appropriating
it to himself. Instructed Mayer to nav
the men and keep the money out of Bow

Prot. Kinkel, a delegate Of the German

was the first who gave impulse to the
formation of organizations for liberating
purposes on large scale. But because
these idealistic storms of heaven and

they determined to fix up the American
Republic according to their own notions
by organizing movements in the social,
religious and political fields. Number
less societies, such as the Freemen's So.
