THE BROADWAY FRANCHISE.
A Witness Who Probably Could Tell Some
thing if He Had a Better Memory.

NEW YORK, March The Broadway railroad
franchise investigation was resumed to-day.
Robert B. Kerr, a son of the treasurer of the
Broadway & Seventh avenue road, was ques-
toned at length in regard to numerous state
ments, mostly written. which. it was alleged, he
had made in correspondence with his college
chum. John A. Myers, relating to his fKerr's)
fathers connection with the bribery of aldermen
to secure the franchise under investigation and
the legal danger that resulted. The young man
admitted that at the time there was a serious
difference between his father and himself in re-
gard to a young lady. and that he might have
then made statements in regard to his father
which he would not now make, their differences
having been adjusted. The following excerpt
from his testimony will give a general idea of its
character:
Mr.. Conkling-"Did you write the following
sentence in a letter: There is little fear that
father will get into trouble about the railroad af-
fair, as he has scarcely been thoughtof in regard
to ita'n
Witness-'The passage is in my handwriting,
but don't remember writing it,"
ibid you say to any one that the commission
ers who passed upon the Broadway road received
money, all of them, and that your father paid
part of itY'
mo, S1f."
'Have you not recently written two or three
letters in which, referring to the Board Of Alder
men, you spoke of your fathers connection
with it, and spoke OF the dangers in which he
was involved?"
II do not remember"
ibid you say that your father was engaged
in fixing the Board Of Aldermen so that the
Broadway surface franchise could be got?"
II cannot say"
IBID you say in your letter that it was costing
your father and his associates a large sunni
mot that / remember"
Did you mention 81. 600. 900 as the amountg'
"No. sir"
did you say that members of the Board Of
Aldermen had been Influenced by money!"
mo, sir"
Did you say your father had his bag ready to
depart for EuropeW
"No, sir" Indignantly
ibid you say that your father said he could
spend nsxt summer in Europe or in iailr'
"No. SIR"
G. p. Miller. a lawyer, testified that Mr.. Chit
tenden told him that John Keegan held the
doodle" Alderman Waite told him that he
knew of one man who had accepted $40, 900 from
the railroad people while the Gibbs
was considering the adyisability of investigating
the Broadway franchise.
Thomas F. r. Ryan said he would produce two
aldermen who would divulge the whole history
of the steal. Mr.. Ryan said: ''They have got to
answer. The bell has been rung upon them.
They have got to go down into the bowels of this
thing" He also said it was a f~actional fight be-
tween Tammany Hall and the County Democ-
racy. and that either organization would be
SHOWN up"
Thomas B. Kerr was then examined in regard
to certain entries in the cash book which had
been produced. He was unable to say what had
become of certain checks for small sums which
had been drawn upon his account at the Pacific
Bank. The committee will meet again to-mor-
row.

~ . zTIuCos
1t is not probable that any enlightened Ameri-
can Congress would recognize as republican in
political priesthood, with beastly polygamous
family institutions, with every department of its
administration under the control of powerful
church corporations. and with a DANTE force of
highwaymen and murderers for its police and
military organizations. Such q State would be
an lntoleraule ulcer on the body of the Nation,
and the power of Congress to eradicate the un-
republican features of It's administration would
be beyond question.

Monuments to Traitors.

Monuments to Traitors.
Build monuments over traitors!
Yes; build then mountain high.
Pile stone on stone until they reach
From earth up to the sky.
Then chisel on their tablets fair,
In letters wide and bold,
That they may stay for ages there.
And all the world behold
The names of those who drew their swords
To strike Town freedoms laws.
And raised on high the pirate flag
Of slavery's hateful cause.
Write what you may upon their tombs,
In prose or sounding rhyme,
And all cannot obscure the truth
That treason is a crime.
Mark. if you please, the grave of Burr
With marble white as snow.
And will it hide the treachery
OF him who sleeps belows
Twill only serve to show mankind
The spot where lies the dust
Of one whose name must ever be
Detested by the just.
Build over Arnold, if you will,
A monument of gold
And carve upon its glitring sides
The praises they will hold;
And yet the world his memory
Will ever hate and scorn,
And manhood's voice his crime denounce
Till resurrection morn.
Marble can never make wrong right,
Nor epitaphs efface
From histry's just and truthful page
A broken oath's disgrace.
The stars and stripes will wave aloft-
And proudly still proclaim
The honor of the patriot
And traitors doom Of shame.

the best known remedy for diarrhoa. whether
arising from teething or other causes. Twenty

A New Danarture in Fire Protact;on,

Fairbanks & Co., of this city, have undertaken
the introduction of the Eclipse Fire Extinguish-
er, and from the severe fire that was put out
last evening on Washington street, it certainly
deserves success.
The Eclipse consists of a light brass tank with
solid force-pump that throws a stream forty
feet and lasts five minutes. and can be reflled
without any delay. Powders that are in
the water create carbonic acid gas as the pump
is worked. and for simplicity and effect the
Eclipse certainly is a success.

Mr. Cleveland makes an exhibition of boorish
stubbornness fully equal to that displayed by the

my pledges to the people, ad nauseam. He
vulgarly obtrudes his personality as of more i'm
portance than the principle involved in the con.
troversy. He argues like a pettifogger with a

Democratic simplicity is no doubt a good thing,

''Queen of the Sea-" we venture to think that
there is too much simplicity.
