The Hill investigation was resumed yo5tor-
day, with Gen. Stincmcth ~ witness in the
Bartlett Robbins's case. In 1874, when wit
ness was assistant superintendent of con
struction of the New York postoilice, extra
work upon the building was charged for by
Bartlett Robbius x Co. amounting to about
$4,000 .4i.. f..- .,.
Witness read extracts from two letters writ
ton by him 70 the supervising architect rola-
tive tho work which was at that time being
douo by Bartlett, Robbins & Co.. under their
contract In one he represented that the
work was being delayed through not having
sufficient force employed, and was not likely
to be completed at tho stipulated time. In
the other letter he complained of the char
acter of tho work, and advised suspcn-
sion of payment TO them bartlett, Rob-
bins Il co., until tho work could be prop
crly inspected and approved by an inspector.
Witness then took up the plans of tho build
ing, and pointed out item by item the extra
work for which specific charges were made
in the bill rendered by Bartlett Robbins &
Co., and which was allowed and paid by Mr..
Hill. In one instance $500 was allowed for
extra work in making alterations from the
original plans for Il pair of iron stairs. Wit
ness read " letter from the supervising
architect acecdng to tho request of Bartlett,
Robbins 4 Co. to make certain alterations
and in explanation said, "rhc stairs as
originally designed were much more difficult
to mako and moro expensive. The change
was Gb the suggestion of Bartlett Robbins
Il Co., md was for their advantage; yet
they charge tho government nearly 800 for
extra work. In another caso where extra
work was charged the only authority which
could be shown for it was lcttor from Super
vsing Architect Mullott ordering certain al
torations to be made which were necessary to
make the stairs fit in the position for which
they were intended. "rhis," said Witness
was simply an ordcr for them TO repair tho
impcrlections in their work; they were re-
quired by their contract to make tho stairs to
fit, aud there is no authority for this extra
work"
Chairman New inquired '"What has all this
to do with Mr.. HillY ~ rnm
Mr.. Coleman replied "Simply this we are
going over these items to show that no part
of this $4,000 charged for extra work was
ever authorized, and Mr.. Hin knew it when
he paid the bills"
Mr.. New. Well, go ON then.
Witness then resumed, reading from the
tcmizcd bill aud pointing out what he al
legged TO be the unauthorized and Illegal
charges. Witness stated that Bartlett, Rob-
bins x Co. stipulated under their contract to
furnish iron screens at a price per pound,
whereas they charged by the lineal foot and
were so paid by Mr.. Hill, which greatly in
creased their compensation, TO the correspond
ing loss of the governments.

The accuracy with which an

is really admirable.
Every detail of rigging has been

illusion.

AND NOW Richmond, Va, has
determined to interfere for the pro-
lection of the morals of the people
against the assaults of the pub
fishers of the vile periodical hte~a-
ture. Recently the grand jury of
the Hastings court indicted all the
city newsdealers who sold the
Police Gazette. Police Neaos. and
Weeks Doirgs. The fine for selling
obscene literature is $500, to which
is added = imprisonment in the
county Jail. The dealers held
meeting and entered into an agree
ment to sell no more of the publica-
items mentioned, an action which,
under the circumstances, vas pru-
dent, to say the least. The reform
in this direction seems to have
started in the south, where
several of the State and NUM-
cipal authorities have lately
interested themselves in the matter
of suppressing the immoral liter
allure that has found so much ia
vor throughout the country gener>
ally. Salt Lake Is rot free from the
sin of buying these vile papers. and
we fear the sales are increasing in
stead of falling off, notwithstand-
ing the landable efforts of the pull |
pit and press to suppress the evil. |
Perhaps the Richmond plan of |
indicting the newsdealers would |
have as good effect here as it did in
the Virginia capital.
