The Committee on Propositions and
Grievances, to whom was referred the
question, met Yesterday morning and COM
menced the examination OF Judge Goodwin
In the Christian Brotherhood case. There
were no pointed developments. Judge
Goodwin made statement IN defence Of the
corporation. and in rebuttal OF the tesfi-
mony given by Mr.. Spirrers before the
Committee for Courts OF Justice.
Hon. John Goode. OF Norfolk, appeared
before the committee and asked the privi-
lege Of representing the other directors Of
the Christian Brotherhood.
The committee adjourned until 8 o'clock.
at which time 1t resumed the considera-
tioD OF the question. Mr.. II. ii. Cardwel
Is chairman OF the committee, and 1t meets
In his Office. MIR. Catlett Gibson, OF Cul-
peper, the patron Of the billI asking for
the investigation, took leading part In
propouhding questions to Judge Goodwin.
who conducts his own case, and represents
two OF the directors OF the Brotherhood
also. 1t appeared that the directors had
voted themselves certain sums Of money
for alleged services TO the company. and
that the manner In which this was done
was not exactly clear. Judge Goodwin re-
sponded cautiously to all questions, and
seemed to be impressed with the gravity
OF the occasion. The committee will meet
again this morning at 10 O'Clock.

THExEw wOMAN's wAmD.
A Card from Mr.. Andrews Replying -
superintendent Williams.
To the Editor of the DispatcA. /.

~ TIC EuHOf OF Me ULSpdtch.
Dear Sir,-wilI you do me the justice TO
give the following facts In regard to your
article report OF Superintendent WiIIiamsl
OF how the money was misspent BY gross
mismanagement OF one Of the Board OF
Directors OF the Virginia peniteniisry.
May i, 1882, by order OF the Board OF
Directors OF the penitentiary, Superintend-
ent Samuel Z. Williams and John q. An
drews. one OF the Board, were appointed
By the Board as committee to visit prisons
In the East-object to select q suitable plan
for the construction OF the new female
ward. Upon their return Of inspection
they reported to the Board at It's
meeting,- and recommended the Kings
County prison o. New York, with
sketch OF same. They also called upon
several architects in New York. One OF
these sent plan by express to the Board,
which he wished adopted. Superintendent
WtHidmS suggested at the meeting of a full
Board that said plans be returned TO the
architect, as they could be made by Marin
(convicD after the plan OF Kings-County
prison. and Sdre the State about fue hun
dred dollars. The plansi and speciica-
tons were made by Marvin (conyicD and
submitted by the Superintendent (Wil-
linms) to the Board, and were adopted.
The Superintendent (Williams) aud the
Board went out and selected the original
site upon which the new ward was COM
menced to be built. The erection OF the
building was commenced by sundrv par
ties under contract.
These contracts were awarded to the
contractors by sealed bids. These bids
were opened in Superintendent WilIiams's
Office by him and the Board at regular
meeting. The stOnework was awarded to
John Marshall, with Robert WeEdenburg
as surety. Said contracts commenced
about the 1st Of August, 1892, under the
supervision OF myself for about one month,
when informed the Board that / wished
to be relieved OF said trust, and the Board,
at its meeting, relieved me OF it, and ap-
pointed Mr.. John Gibson. by and with the
OF Superintendent Williams, 20
suDerintend the said construction. Mr.
Gibson conducted the same until about the
lst OF October, when work was suspended
unth the following spring of 1888. This
cost the State 81, i,l0S6l.
The only loss TO the State on this con-
tract was the removal OF the said founda-
ton to the new site, which was less than
1000, instead Of the amount OF SG,6l9.g2
superintendent Williams reports to have
been lost. The cause OF the removal Of
the building from the old site was because
it was ascertaired that the building was
being built upon made earth. and there
fore 1t WIS removed to new site upon
solid ground.
Superintendent Williams also says IN the
above referred communication that he did
not approve the amount OF Sl2.S9i.7S.
By inspection the vorchers show his own
written signature to them, except the sum
Of S24. Respectfully,
,JOhN g. ANDREWS

Messrs. Dickerson and Williams thought
the resolutions were premature that the
Improvement had not been in use long
enough to see what results they would pro-
duce.
Mr.. Barksdale said there must be some
mistake about the cost Of manufacturing
the gas, rs the Superintendent had stated
that the cost OF making it was only 81
cents per thousand feet in the holder in
December. He was in favor OF the resolu-
ton, but did not think it was the time to
adopt it.
DR.. Wexford warmly advocated the
adoption OF the resolution.
Mr.. Glasgow said he took his figures
from report made by Mr.. Knowles to the
Auditor in December.
Mr.. Todd said the resolution was simply
to give the Committee on Light an oppor-
tunity TO rise and explain.
On motion OF Mr.. Dickerson, the matter
was referred TO the Committee on Light.
AT 1880 O'Clock the Board adjourned.

rels have been exported from Baltimore, 700
are now here awaiting shipment, and $4,000
barrels are expected here within the next
few months. or this 25,O00 are from
Kentucky, being Withdrawn from bond
for export TO avoid payment Of
tax. Collector Webster went 10 Wash
ington yesterday TO confer with the
Treasury Department as TO the appointment OF
additional temporary force. II ia thought that
about six clerks and several gaugers will be
needed. Surveyor Nail, In reply to a ques.
tion RS 10 the destination of all this liquor,
said most OF II went TO Bremen. How long It
would remain there II was hard to say. Some
OF It might be sold abroad and never come
back Ii would be warehOused and Kept In
Europe until the owners wanted 1t back mere,
when 1t would be imported into this country
and pay the regular import duty. This duty Is
much higher than the internal-revonue tax,
which II is designed TO escape, but the refusal
OF Congress TO extend the time for whisky to
remain In bonded warehouses put the distill-
ers In the dilemma OF exporting II at heavy
expense or flooding the country with the arti-
