them at such times are Of course. in

street Wgwam. The charges made by Colonel W.

late election. against the party leaders in the
Twelfth Assembly district investigated
by committee Of which Assemblyman Thomas
F. Grady acted chairman. Colonel Roberts claims
that he was 'sold OUT by number of persons in
order to further the chances of certain candidates
on the ticket including Coroner Woltman and Alder
man Patrick Keenan,. The committee at the session
last night examined number of witnesses in refer
ence to the conduct of the leaders and workers in
various districts of the city.

candidate for Senator in the Eleventh district.

the Nineteenth Assembly district, considered.
dozen moro witnesses examined and
swore that the defeat Of Mr.. Hsskn could not be
helped. He was very unpopular in the district and
besides had been connected with the anti-Tamlnany
party only year ago. He had also favored the

OCallashan had done all in his power to assist Mr.
Haskn to secure q seat in the State Senate but he
failed to overcome the latter's unpopularity.

proposed new building which suits the purposes OF

1872 feet inch New street. 1t extends about half
block toward Exchange place. and takes In 222 feet
~ inches from New to Beaver street. The total
is equal to about eighteen city lots, .s65 superb
cis feet. When the Building Committee OF the Prod
Exchange made Mr.. Camp their agent they in
structcd him not to give more than s45O.ooo for
site. and. upon approaching the twenty different

they demanded s750,OOO for il. After considerable
pareying he managed to secure reduction of the
price to $600.00O. and then he determined to call
q meeting of the of property adjacent
TO this plot FOR the purpose OF raising.
This meeting was held yesterday afternoon at No. 10
Beaver street and was well attended. Mr.. Camp
planned his agency in the matter and said that the
Produce Exchange were very anxious to purchase
the plot. He had seon all but two of the of
the property and they were willing to sell at
$780, 200. He claimed that IL the building were
erected the value of the property in its vicinity
would be increased fully s1,OO0Oo0. lie told how
the Produce Exchange had only $3.50 invest in

stated tnat three holders of adjacent property had

do the same and lie proposed for the signatures of

were to agree to pay certain sums whenever the
Produce Exchange purchased the plot on the under
standing that the Exchange should. two years from
