He Tells How he Divided with
Lynch the Proceeds Of the Sale OF
Dirt.
The Lynch investigating COM
mittee met IN the City Council Cham
ber, last evening, and held public
session, but Notwithstanding the
notoriety given this affair by the
newspapers, not more than twenty
persons assembled to hear the evl-
dence George W. Humphrey was
elected Clerk to the committee to
take stenographic report Of the
evidence.
Patrick Gardner was called, and
without hesitation or demur took the
oath, which was administered to him
by Esquire O'Neill. Then Patrick
gave his testimony, which, in sub.
stance, was as follows:
That Lynch, had told him to sell the
street dirt at Fifty cents a load, and
divide the money equally. He sold
ten loads to John Dunn, proprietor
of the swan Hotel. Some time after
wards Lynch asked HIM if he had
collected the money from Dunn, and
he said not, but went then and got
the amount due, SIS. He handed this
money to Lynch who CAV him back
two dollars afterwards sold one
load to man on Ninth street be-
tween Washington and Jefferson,
and gave the money to Lynch, sold
six loads to Col. Ii. S. McComb, for
So, and gave 50 to Lynch. Also
sold six loads to man on Eleventh
street, near Market. Mr.. Stewart,
living on French street, bought eight
loads, but insisted on paying but
twenty five cents load, or 50. He
gave Lynch the So and Lynch gave
him quarter.
The witness further stated that he
sold more loads of dirt than he emu
merated, but he did not remember the
names Of the parties. He never sold o
load of dirt to any one without
Lynch's orders. The dirt bought b y
Dunn, he said, was delivered on
Lynch's written order, which Dunn
gave to him, but he did not know
what he afterwards did with the order.
Tho committee having finished with
0oiuu0iy uiis AyhSh 0uutoooou hih
and asked him If when charged by the
Morning Nesos with selling street dirt
he had not positively denied it and
expressed a willingness to swear to the
| denial.
sNo," said Gardner, s.outly. Gard
ner then addressed the COMMITTEES
again and said that Patrick Sullivan,
Of Third and jackson streets, bought
two loads of dirt and John Collins col
lected the money. Collins gave wit
ness the money at the same time say
ing, ''Be sure to give me half dol-
lar, or I'll raise hell" Gardner said
he gave Collins half dollar and the
other half to Lynch. "Didn't give
ye half dollar right on your own
pavement in front Of your own dooIp"
he said, turning around and facing
Lynch "you can't deny it. defy
him to deny it. Concluding, Gardner
voluntarily informed the committee
that after heavy snow storm last
winter Lynch sent him, john Collins
and another man out to his house to
clean the snow from his pavement.
81 want to know" said Gardner, "ii
he has right to do this"
This closed the evidence and, after
directing the Clerk Of Council to sum.
mon as witnesses the parties to whom
Gardner says he sold the dirt, thu
committee adjourned until 7.30 o'clocl
this evening.

Some people call this an cold fashioned

Some people call this an cold fashiored
winter" Here is an account Of some gen
uine old-fashioned winters: In the year 40l
the Black Sea was entirely frozen over In
76:,, not only the Black Sea but the Straits OF
Dardanelles were frozen over. and the snow
in some places rose fifty feet high. In 1905,
most the travellers in Germany were frozen to
death on the roads. In 1874, the Pc was
frozen from Cromnna to the sea; and trees
were split by the action Of the frost. with I'M
mense noise. In 1870. the Danube was fro
zen to the bottom. and remained long in that
state. In 1908. the crops failed in Scotland,
and such famine ensued that the poor were
reduced to feed on grass. and many persisted
miseraby in the fields. In 1868. the wine
distributed to the soldiers was cut with hatch
cts. The successive winters of l422-3-4 were
uncommonly severe. In 1859, 1t was ex-
excessively cold most of the hollies were
killed. anil coaches drove across the river
Thames, the ice of which was eleven inches
thick. In 1909. occurred what was long
called 1.-THE cold winter" when the frost pen
etrated three wards into the earth. In l7f6,
booths were erected on the Thames. In
1909, and again in 1912, the winters were re-
markablv cold In 1914. there was fair on
the frozen Thames.
