at Johnstown was turned over to the Arbi
tration Board yesterday. They will meet
next week to review the testimony ano
probably give their decision in the matter
Attorney General Fitzpatrick and w. B.
Rogers, ESQ.,, had a wordy war over the tes-
timony of witness. The Attorney General
asked question that Mr.. Rodgers objected
to on the ground that it was of no Importance
in the matter at issue. AS there was no court
to decide the question, the Attorney General
decided it himself and refused to recognize
the objection, and insisted on his question
being ans~ered. Mr.. Rogers moved uneasily
in his chair, and made some remark which
caused Mr.. Kirkpatrick to say: you're little
I hypocritical, amt your Mr.. Rogers re-
spOnded with II think not" The little breeze
soon blew over and the inquiry continued
TEN DOLLARS NOT TOO MUCH.
Mr.. J. Martin, an engineer, contractor and
builder, said that he did not think $40 per day
was too much money for the use of Carlin's en-
gines. There was no set price for the use Of
hosting engines, but for ordinary work they
are usually paid IS or So per day.

clearing work at Johnstown, testified that the
debris had been loosened by the use Of dyna-
mite and that made the hoisting easy. He had
used hosting engine and paid for it 81 80 per
day. this included man with the engine
Frank Bust and Robert Gresh, who were
state stOrekeepers at Johnstown, were called
and testified to the time the engines were at
work. They did not know whether the engines
worked at night.
General d III. Hastings was called and tes.
titled that he had talk with Mr.. Carlin about
his engines, and he wanted $40 per day for the
engines and $50 per day for himself. The
General stated that Mr. Carlin had talked of
taking the engines home, and that at the time
they were very much needed, and he had re-
solved not to let the engines go if he had to
Put guard Of soldiers over them. He told
Mr.. Carlin to go to work and the State would
pay him what was right He was careful,
however not to commit himself to any par
ticular sum, and did not enter into any con-
tract
ANsHUTz GOT $50 PER DAY.
The case Of the claim of William Anshutz
was then taken up. Mr.. Anshutz put in q
claim of IS, ,0SS "a He had furnished two en-
gines and IL skilled workmen.
VIM. Finn was called, and testified that he
had come to the city after consultation with
General Hastings, and told Mr.. Anshutz to
take his engines to Johnstown. The price
agreed on was $50 per day. He reported this to
General Hastings, and also told him that the
price was not too high. The agreement was
that Anshutz was to be paid from the time he
left Pittsburg until his return, which also in
cluded loading and unloading the engines.
Mr.. Anshutz was called and testified to the
time his engines and men were at work, from
June 10 to July 16 In this case the State re-
fuses to pay for the Sundays that the men and
