The East river having been bridged he
tween New York and Brooklyn. work is
In rapid progress to tunnel the North riv-
err between New York and Jersey City.
The project involves the construction of a
double tunnel more than a mile in length.
One part is already pushed out 1000 feet
from the Jersey shore and 17O feet from
the New York side. and the second is now
completed for distance of 600 feet from
Jersey City. The tunnels are likely to be
ready for use in less than three years
There will then be exits from and en-
frances to Manhattan Island, BY trains,
over and under the two broad rivers,
whose crossing only by ferriage has long
been hindrance to rapid transit.

A NEW LIGHT.
A New York Lawyer Explains the Star
Route Business.

New YORK, June 90
VIM. A. Cook, lawyer, prints long
statement to the effect that after receiving
instructions from President Garfield to care
fully examine into the charges of the star
route matters, he submitted the result of such
examination to Garfield at Elberon when the
latter remarked that Dorsey's case was a
weak one.
Cook says the Dorsey and Brady cases
were pushed by Bliss because he considered
them Hard DEVILS" while Cook considers
that they were the weakest. In relation to
the Indictment, Cook says that Sanderson's
name was dropped out either through igno-
rance or corruption. Cook refers to his res
ignation from the counsel in the matter, and
concludes by saying the simple result is this ::
The United States has failed at an enormous
cost. The attorney general has signally
failed, and by the selection of the case
against Brady, Dorsey, and those associated
with them, in the blunders in its management
and length of time used in its trial, Bliss has
made a considerable fortune and Ker and
Merrick have largely increased their income.
The whole affair probably will be seen short
ly in a new and true light, especially if fully
examined by Congress.

THE rEwKsBURY HEARING.
Ex.Superintendent Marsh Concludes
HIS Testimony.

BOsTON, June 20.
In the Texksbury hearing today ex-Super-
intendent Thomas J. Marsh completed his
testimony. Rugs were made at the institu-
ton, but not to go from there, nor did they
go. His son kept chickens but had no knowl-
edge that grain bought by the State was fed
them As far as he knew no boxes have
gone from the almshouse to Exeter Wal
than. or Reading. Had never beard Of fu-
neral services over a book of wood until it
was spoken of in the investigation. No
property of the commonwealth save two bar
rels of apples that MIR. Nourse said might be
sent TO Exeter, has gone to any member of
his family. He never paid private debt
with funds of the commonwealth. Never
heard of DIR. Lathrop striking or kicking a
patient.
He could not with the funds at his disposal
give a variety of food that some claim the
sick should have. The food for the house in
general had been good enough. Had never
heard that his table was any better spread
than that of the inmates.
Gov Butler remarked that was not his
complaint. 1t was that while the statutes
says the superintendent could 'live in the
building" it did not say that he could at the
public expense.
The witness said he wonld not have &C.
cepted the position had he known he was to
pay his living expenses. In no year could
he have paid them on his salary.
The Governor asked if the witness paid the
expenses of the defense in this investigation,
and Marsh firmly declined to answer though
the Governor insisted he would be compelled
to, claiming if he could show an organized
body of men stood behind the defense, it
would show what terrorism is brought to
bear upon witnesses for the prosecution.

THE HILL INVESTIGATION.
The Bartlett, Robbins Il Co. Case Taken
Up.

The Hill investigation was resumed FRI
day morning with Gen Stinemetz as witness
in the Bartlett, Robbins & Co. case.
Witness read extracts from two letters
by him written ~ 1874, to the supervising
architect. relative to work done by Bartlett,
Robbins & Co., under their contracts. In
enc he represented the work as being delayed
through not having a sufficient force employed
and not likely to be comDleted at the stipu-
lated time.
In the other he complained of the charac-
ter of the work, and advised suspension of
payment to them until the work could be
properly inspected and approved by the in
spector. The witness then took up the plans
Of the building, and pointed out item by
item, the extra work or which the specific
charges were made in the bill rendered by
Bartlett, Robbins & Co., and allowed and
paid BY Hill.
Coleman explained thai they proposed to
show that no part Of the S37 900 charged for
extra work was ever Authorized, and Hill knew
it when he paid the bills
Reading from an itemized bill, witness
stated that Bartlett, Robbins & Co. stipulated
to furnish screens at a price per pound.
whereas they charged by the lineal foot and
so paid by Hill. which greatly increased the
compensation to the corresponding loss Of the
government.
Committee adjourned until tomorrow
