MR.. THOMPSON'S METHODS.
TESTIMONY ABOUT IRREGULARITIES.

CONTRACTOR BRADY CAN GUESS BETTER THAN THE
DEPARTMENT SURVEYORS CAN MEAsURE-THE
5000 ORDER SYSTEM.
The Senate Committee on Cities continued. In the
City Hall, yesterday, Its investigation into the
management Of the Public Works Department
John Brady, O contractor, was the first Witness
He Is quick-witted Irishman. and was
prepared with ready answers. he was
requested TO explain his connection with
the contract awarded to him by Commissioner
Thompson for regulating and grading Ninety-tfth-
st. The department estimate called for 1880 cubic
yards Of earth excavation, and 81 $40 cubic yards
of rock excavation. Mr.. Brady bid So cubic
yard for the earth and one-quarter of a cent for
rock. But the department estimate turned out to
be almost the reverse Of the actual facts causing
heavy loss to the city and corresponding gain TO
Mr.. Brady. He testified that he made his bid
from merely looking at the ground once; and
without making any survey or borngs. He knew
from the appearance of the ground, he said, that
tho department estimate was wrong. He denied
any collision with engineers OF anybody. He could
not tell how much he had made on any one of the
unbalanced bid contracts with the department;
but he knew that he had lost few thousand dol
lars on one contract. He could not tell what it
cost per cubic yard to take ont rock and earth.
Mr.. Brady said that he had changed his system of
bidding to the unbalanced bids; otherwise he
would have been unable to secure contracts, as
other contractors would ontbid him.
Thomas Keech formerly Superintendent of Sup
plies in the Public Works Department, testified
that be knew of irregularities in the Department
and would hereafter furnish facts on date He
referred to the 5000 orders for coal given by Mr..
Thompson to two members of his Assembly District
Committee, by means of which the city was made
to pay 81 97 moro ton for coal than other depart
ments paid under contracts He also referred to the
painting of the rotunda of the Court
house on this order system. This one
job cost 81, 449 and Mr.. Thompson divided 1t into
five orders, making order of P9S7 30 for one
side and another order of 1895 % for the opposite
side etc. thus evadng the 81 900 limit of the stat
ute. Mr.. Keech also referred TO the alterations
In The City Record Office which cost about $4,000,
aud were done on Orders-two of these orders ag-
gregatng 81 ,30f, were gwen on the same day, and
the work done under them originally covered
by one order; but it was recalled and divided into
two orders that order would not exceed 1899.
The committee adjourned to Saturday at 1890 p. 10.

TEN COUPLES FROM AFRICA.
Gentle Creatures who Kin Lions will
Sticks or Sometimes with stones.

Gentle Creatures who Kill Lions with
Sticks or Sometimes with stones.
Ten couples that crossed over on the
steamship Oregon, which arrived from
Liverpool on Monday night, says the New
York San of the 3Oth ult., went, when
they left the vessel yesterday, to a brick
house on Roosevelt street, near Water
street, where they will remain for some
time to come. Their arrival created con-
siderable excitement, and the youthful
part OF the community missed their sup
pers while they cOngregated about the
house trying to get a peep at the new
corners.
The visitors have all brown ewes and
long faces. Their hair is dark gray and
their hands are black. They are worth
$500 apiece. They are lion balloons from
Africa, and are the largest of their spe-
cies ever brought to this country. One of
them is over five feet in height.
Mr.. Donald Burns, who imported them,
says that the reason they are called lion
balloons is because they often kill lions IN
their native jungles. They either attack
the lions with heavy sticks or crush in
the heads of the lions with heavy stones.
He says that the balloons were shared by
the natives, who found out their drinking
place, planted stake in pool of water,
around which the rope of the snare was
passed. When a babOOn was caught it
was dragged into the water and half
drowned. Before it recovered it was
locked up. There are ten males and ten
females. The males are almost three
times as large as the females
Mr.. Burns also received by the Oregon
the largest boa constructor in this cOun-
try. 1t is beautifully marked, and is thir-
ty-three feet long. With it came twenty
other boa constructors.

Description of the Marble Structure
Erected as an Offering to Cardinal Nc
ClOskey.
The Old World cathedrals have some
wonderful pulpits, says a New York let
ter to the st. Louis Republican,. But it
has been reserved for the white marble
cathedral of New York to have the most
expensive pulpit, which is to be con-
structed of Carrarra marble and is to be
erected as an Offering of the clergy of the
archdiocese of New York to Cardinal
McClOskey on the occasion of the ami
versary Of his golden jubilee. The pulpit
will be thirteen feet high, of an Octagonal
shape, approached by seventeen steps to
the platform. The pulpit proper will be
three feet six inches in height. The steps
Will be OF white marble, with an orna-
mented Gothic balustrade. The base of
the pulpit will be of Westminster marble
four feet wide and thirty-nine inches
high, on which there is to be moulding
corresponding with the columns of the
cathedral. On the top of this moulding
there Will be central column of white
marble fourteen inches in diameter, sur
rounded by eight columns of colOred mar
bic, with white marble bases and caps
ornamented with foliage. Above the
columns there are two rows of rich
foliage, going beyond the lines of the
columns sufficiently to make the base of
the moulding five feet six inches in di-
ameter. This base marble moulding is
Ornamented with ball of flowers in the
cove. The ground plan of this moulding
as well as of the pulpit is octagOnal. The
pulpit is to rest against one of the marble
pillars of the cathedral and will have six
sides which are exposed, one being occu-
pied by the entrance to the stairs.
On the five corners of the pulpit which
are exposed there will be Gothic canopies
and brackets under them, supporting
statues of five, great preachers of the
Catholic church. The places between
the canOpies will be richly paneled in
Gothic style, the columns of which, as
well as Of those of the canOpies, will be
polished Mexican onyx. The round of
the panels will be of rich Gothic
tracery; the groups above the panels will
be of rich foliage, surmOunted by a table
moulding ornamented, which is the top of
the pulpit.
