THE NEW Posr oFFICB PLACER.
What MIR. Calvin +. Hubbard Knows about
the Expenditure of thnt s227,O0O.

Congressman Poppleton continued his
inquiries yesterday concerning the unauthor-
lied expenditure OF t227,000 on tho new Post
ONCE and Court House. He recalled the Super
intendent OF the structure, ex-ConRressman
Calvin 7. Hulburd, and questioned him In rela-
ton TO the amounts expended after the exhaus-
tion Of the approp opriation. Superintendent Hurl-
bufd said that s22,32 was needed for labor and
material to get the building ready for occupancy
after the appropriation had been exhausted.
Subsequent to tho receipt Of the Supervising
Architects letter Of May ~ 1876, there was t'2-
sei expended for furniture, but by whose au-
thofity the witness could not tell.
Congressman Poppeton produced n letter to
Mr.. Hulburd from Mr.. Potter, the Supervising
Architect, ordering the dlscontinuance Of work
on the building and the discharge of the EN-
ployees.
Tho witness said that he was III and at home
when the letter was received, and not re-
sponsible for the continuance Of tho work.
After the receipt OF the letter the work In prog
ress was all that was completed. The other
work wss left uncom pleted. 1t was absolutely
necessary to complete the Post once to save
the Government from being yictimiled. The
witness denied that the expenditure of SS21,ODC
has arisen from any improvdenoe, and
explained that the deficiency was caused bv the
exertions OF the Marshals ONCE anu the United
States Courts to have the building completed.
The witness thought that the cost OF compile
ton cOulu nave Dcen reduced one tnlIu u ne
had been permitted to take his own time The
fence around the new Post Onice was rented %
advertisers for $500 ~ onth. The rental was paid
into the Treasury. The material used to repair
the Custom House and other Federal buildings
was sent from the Post once, but was not re-
charged to the Government.
Subsequently, COngressDan Poppleton inter
rogated Superintendent Hulburd a. follows:
Mr. Poppeton-I desire to call your attention to the
remodeng OF the iron work In the tribune building
| by the b backsmiths here.
Mr. Hulburd-f never heard Of such work. Not an
hour dollars worth Of work for the Irfbuns build

Rector who strictly Enforces the Require
ments Of the Denomination.
A trouble has been brewing in the
Church OF the Ascension In Kent street, near
Union avenue, Greenpoint, ever since the Key.
7. W. Haskins was made rector. He enforced
at once the strictest observance OF the Episco-
palian polity. and his ultra notions clashed with
those Of the vestry. Tho church had heavy
debt to carry, and as II had only 200 communi-
cants for the most part poor persons, this sever
ity Of discipline. 1t was thought, did not help to
attract members. 1t was the only Episcopal
church In a district where there were 5000 in
habitants, aud the vestrymen thought that Mr.
Hasklns ought to improve his opportunity. Mr..
Haskins would not bulge from his extreme in-
terpretatioD OF church rules. lie forbade church
fairs, closed every avenue 70 the vanties and
friyolites OF popular church. and set his face
against everything except penitence ana deyo-
tiOn to church wofk. Complaint was mad TO
Bishop Llttlejo ohm that the rector was arbitrary
and self-willed. but nothing was done about It..
Mr.. Haskins disagreed with the vestrymen so
much that at tue Easter election they were
turned out OF ONCE, aud william bourne. j. w.
HobrOn, and Others who were with MIR. Has
kius were elected. Mr.. II lskins's next offence
WAS TO forbid the Sunday school to join In the
anniversary parade. Recently the ousted yes
trymen demanded OF the vestry elect 20 call a
meeting Of the wsrdens OF the ves,ry to hear u
statement Of the grievances against the rector.
