The Hill Investigation

WASHINGTON, June 11.-At the lnvestiga-
ton of the supervising architects Office to.
day, Coleman, counsel for Murch, stated
he had prepared specific charges which be
expected to prove under contracts already
in evidence before the committee; he also
stated he had recently been retained as
counsel for Manler d Cooper, Justice Nc
earthly and several others, who directed
him to prefer charges against Hill, and that
he would in few days formulate charges
to cover their several grounds of COM
plants. Coleman then read the charges
and specifications which set forth fraud and
extravaganza in connection with the pur-
chase and dressing of stone for public
buildings of the United States.
Steinmetz, expert, then took the stand
and resumed his statement relative to the
cost of granite used on the construction OF
public buildings in Philadelphia.
The witness stated that since the last
meeting of the committee he had made a
computation of the second courses and
upon the third, fourth and attic stories
OF the building, and had calculated upon
each stone the excess paid by the govern
ment, upon the basis ofquarry dimensions.
He had made calculations for the third
story of the Chestnut street frontage of the
building, and found the aggregate excess
paid nv the government for stone was SIT :
500; the opposite part being identical with
il, the total for the two would be $4,000.
Witness stated he had not computed the
other fronts, but would continue the calcu-
lations for each front of each Of the floors.
At this point, Homer Campbell, q stone
cutter, was sworn. Witness worked at the
trade on government buildings in New
York, Boston and Philadelphia; was en-
ployed upon the public building In Phila-
delph.a during August 1880, and from
memoranda which be made at the time, be
cut nineteen feet six inches Of stone m
thirty days, and was paid at the rate OF
60 Is per day; he was employed ten days
upon one stone which measured six feet
three by three feet ten inches.
Steinmetz was recalled, and testified that
for the stone described by Campbell the
government paid the contractors 81 ,265
while they paid Campbell but $3.50, a
net profit 10 them Of S239.76; Campbell was
paid by them for his entire work Sl02,
while they charged the government and
received under their contract with Hill
$40. q net profit on work OF this man OF
S745.
Coleman said be could not go further on
this branch Of the case until Steinmetz con-
cluded his computations. Itwas Suggested
that the comm 'ssion visit Boston and other
cities Tor the purpose Of taking testimony,
but without deciding whether they would
accept afidsvits IN evidence or visit the
different points to take testimony the com
mission adjourned till Wednesday.

The organ grinder doesn't seem to
relish our remarks concerning a re-
cent attempt to swindle the Reporter
into marriage with his intended
Montmorency newspaper, and now he
is crying out for a mother-in-law to
keep him straight. Who would have
thought that the few days marriage
between the Reporter and the organ
mans outcast would have such bad
result on the daily, yet bad company
always corrupts. If distant of.
spring of the organ brings disaster,
what an overwhelming disrepute the
organ itself would bring to anything
it united with. We always knew il
to be disreputable, hut never dreamed
its breath was so fearfully malarious,
and we advise the daily, if it values
its reputation, to shun it. The organ
was pretty cheeky in trying to intro
duce itself into a respectable newspa-
per circle.
