An interview with Mr.. Charlie.
Sherman who lives seven miles north.
Eest Of BFookviile. ELECTED the fol-
loving information ia regard 10 the
new coal hank IN Ellsworth county.
twelve miles northwest Of BrOokvilIe;
the vein Of coal averages about IS or
IS inches In thickness aud e being
mined from its Sut-cropping 10 the
side Of q big bill. The part Of the
bank they are now working is covered
by 100 feet Of perpendicular earth.
The roof Of the bank IL red sand stone
Mr. Sherman has been using the coal
for some time and says Il is better
than any coal he ever got In Salins
except the Canyon coal. It burns alb
solutely into ashes, leaving no cinders
whatever and makes scarcely any
smoke In burning.
A letter from the editor Ofthe Brook
vile Transcript received since my in
terview with Mr.. Sherman informs
me that the farmers all around Brook
vile are getting their coal from the
new mine and they ell claim Il 10 be a
good article. The demand for Il Is 90
great that the teams have to often wait
for their loads They have a. yet; poor
facilities for mining this coal and It is
probable that they have no machinery
and no practical coal diggers. II the
bank Is sufficient magnitude 20 war
rant putting In the necessary ma
chinery and employing 100 or more
Welshmen he coal can be mined
for 70 cents or SlOO per ton. In the
Ohio cOal banks, the miners get about
IS cents per ton for digging the coal
and filling the bank ears. This bank
is about eight miles from our U. p.
railroad and must, II Of any practical
use 10 rs, be furnished with branch
road. When this Il done and the
bank is provided with proper facilities
for working, the coal. ought to be laid
down In Salina for $3.50 per ton. They
are now selling Il at the bank for $3.50.
The editor OF the TSaRscrfDt promises
TO drive out ana investigate this mat
ter thoroughly and give US the benefit
OF 1t In his next issue. The people OF
this city and vicinity are anxious to
know II the new Find" Is coal or
Ignite and Mr.. Debit will do Us a
great kindness BY thoroughly decid-
ing that question. J.W. DAILY.

WASHINGTON. June 2S.-In the Hill In
vestigatlon Coleman called for all the
vouchers FOR the money paid Geo. J.. Da-
mon since August, 1875, for iron safes or fire =
proof shutters; also for all the vouchers for
the money paid Bartlett, Robbins & Co.. 4,
or Hayward. Robbins i Co., the present
firm, for work done or materials fur.
nished by them to the government since
August 1875.
Objection was made by Thomas that such
wholesale expose OF the business Of Bart
lett, Robbins 4 Co. would be unfair 10 the
present firm in that it would disclose their
business to those who may be competing
against them.
Coleman; How can that be when they
have monopoly OF the business:'
Protracted arguments ensued, during
which counsel for the prosecution charged
that Bartlett, Robbins & Co. had secured
nearly all the contracts for thing since the
advent OF Hill ~ supervising architect and
had been enabled TO dc so through corrupt
influences in the architects Office, although
not the lowest bidders.
Thomas (excitedly): "lf the gentleman
charges that Bartlett, Robbins & Co. cor
ruptly obtained contracts deuOunce ii as
SANDER.
Coleman replied: "Let us see the docu-
meun showing the amounts OF money
which these gentlemen have received and
we will be able 10 tell something about
it,
The committee after consultation ri led
that counsel should be permitted TO inspect
all the papers included in his call and
should submit them to the committee
General SteinmetZ then took the stand.
In 1874 the witness held the position OF
assistant superintendent OF construction in
the New York post office, and had charge
OF all the work. Bartlett, Robbins 4 Co.
had a contract for iron work, stairs, graf
ings, illuminated thing, etc. They fur
nshed the material under the immediate
direction OF the witness.
The bills rendered by Bartlett, Robbins
4 Co. were then put in evidence
Witness read over the items OF the charge
for extra work, and testified that one pair
OF stairs FOR which Bartlett, Robbins & Co.
charged SS3S never were put Into the build
ing, and other charges for extra work APP
peared on their bills for which he (Stein-
metz never gave arv order.
At this point number OF vouchers which
had been called for by the prosecution were
brought in, and upon the suggestion OF
Alexander the coin mittee adjourned for the
purpose Of sffordng the witnesses an OPP
portunlty to inspect the papers.

where he presented the cause Of Ireland to
the President. He doesn't object to legiti-

emigration from Ireland. Those who come
to the United States voluntarily have fixed
purpose, and are either prepared to settle
In new country, or have friends upon
whom they can rely for assistance In getting
employment. Those who are
forced to come are helpless
among strangers. The only immigration
against which a protest Is made Is that

Change suffered another bad break this
morning; and the forenoon session was
marked by great depression and at times
great excitement, The depression In price
extended to provisions and grain as we'll,
but was more felt in pork and lard. Pork
has shown a steady and heavy decline for
the past three days and this morning took
another tumble Of 42S TO so, and lard de-
scended -, and TX, making the quotation
for July option less than that touched on
Saturday, made notable by the failure OF
McGeocb. Wbeat which has displayed
weakness for the past week

renewed al the uncasiness Of the past two
weeks, and the announcement was made at
noon that II. o. Kenyan h Co., and John
Sinclair had succumbed. They have been
dealing in grain but are not rated as very
extensive dealers. one cause assigned for
the unusual weakness displayed by the mar
ket l. owing to the bad showing made by the
firm OF McGeoch, Everingham d Co., aud
NJ. S. Nichols 4 Co., and particularly the
latter firm, from whom better report as to
