sewer from an egg-shaped one
to a circular sewer, some brick
had been saved; perhaps 5000 or
1900 in all, at a cost of S25 per 1000 laid.
1t is usual to make the claim after the
final estimate, which was not made in
this case until after the assignment.
He had received oral orders for change
of plans in other contracts. Three of
four inspectors were always present at
the building of the sewers.
BY an Expert.
Charles j. Morris also testified. He
is the contractor who built the Mime
haha street system of sewers and did
the masonry for the high bridge. His
testimony was sought for as an
expert and his prices were gen
orally lower than those of Forrestal
Bros: yet he confessed that in many
cases he could not judge, as he would
have had to have been present at the
building of the sewer to tell just what
the work was worth. He thought that
80 cents per yard was a fair price for the
eXcavating on Marshall avenue, and that
60 cents would cover the cost of the
extra timber and the delay to the work.
The excavation for the cradle ought to
be worth about S1.50 or S1.75 per cubic
ldTu. 1OI Iu6 cALId tACdNdllOl OlA ~ III
Yersity avenue 20 cents per cubic yard
was fair price. The rubble masonry
on the curves was worth 81 or
IS per cubic yard, but if the
curves had to be widened it
might cost from SIS to SIS per yard.
The widening of the ditch, the delay
and the extra timber ought TO be paid.
Could not give just the amount. as he
did not see the work done. For the
extra timber on LynhurSt avenue SIC
per 1000 feet would be fair cOmpen-
sation; the same should be allowed on
University avenue. The extra brick
were worth about S16 per 1000 laid. If
the rock in the Marshall avenue ditch
was limestone it was worth 81 per cubic
yard to eXcavate. But if it was the soft
disintegrated blue stone, Sl.25 would
cover the cost and leave the contractor
fair profit.
After hearing this testimony the COM
mittee adjourned to meet Thursday
afternoon at O'clock.

Thomas Cochran Will Have Every
body Arrested Connected with
the Fight.
Thomas Cochran, Jr., one of the gen.
tlemen most active in the effort to stop
the contest. when asked if the action
had not been taken at an upduly late
hour, said:
i am frank to admit that something should
have been done before. But that is no reason
why we should let it pass without protest.
nor why we should not do our utmost 10 SOP
it. Do these gentlemen hold mat
sentiment against the violation OF
law that they consider themselves free to
violate it? That seems to me to be a weak
argument. / am heartily III sympathy win
anything that is good in ATHLETIC sports. L
have a son who is a member tn Yale Fresh
man Athletic club. and have been brought
into close touch with athletic development.
When in New York | visited the Manhattan
club, and admired il very much. But DO you
suppose that such contest W0uld De lOleT-
ated there? No sir. The club would be
hooted out of New \ Ork If II allowed sueh
thing. We have here mayor who IS Willing
10 allow the law TO be violated. and we 1eel
as if it was necessary Tor us 10 take
action / nave four sons growing up one Oh
them twentY-One years Of age. and the others
Younger, and should feel as if had not
done nv duty bv them if / did not raise my
voice against the licensing of prostitution as
it is practically done in this city to-day,
against the LIQUOR traffic, and against prize
fights do not propose TO give my sons an
opportunity TO go TO Such places ana then
say that they never knew l was opposed 10
them The fact that there was no pubic

is no good argument for failing 10 go on
record now. Many things may have occurred

but with which il was useless to interfere.
But when they ere brought under the con-
troll of gentlemen. such as the members OF
the Athletic club are supposed TO be, II shows
that the leaven Is spreading, ana mat II Is
time 10 take action.
What course has been decided upon, Mr..
Cochrang'
We shall arrest the principals. The law
provides that they may be arrested on evl-

and then tie subject 10 punishment a1ter-

When the chamber of commerce was
about to adjourn yesterday, Thomas
Cochran asked permission to discuss
the prize fight. That body should lend
its influence against such breach of

contest, as the principals had been
training for two months to win prize
of $500 IA $1,000 pavilion was being
erected. and ne thought the chamber
should demand the governor and mayor
to prevent the fight. ID. r..

Mayor Smith and, while treated
courteousiy. had been told that it was
not in his power to stop the combat.
He offered a resolution calling upon the
governor and mayor to enforce the law.
Messrs. Stevens and Lightner discussed
the best means of enforcing the law.
The resolution was passed under sus-
pension of the rules.

There was forwarded yesterday from the
works of H. J. Heinz Co., keystone Pick
ling and Preserving Works, this city, an
entire train load of pickles, destined to
Kansas City, Mo-, which will be routed via
the A., T. & s. F. r. R., "Santa Fe route, ="
from Chicago, to be distributed over the
vast Western country traversed by that i'm
mense system of railroads. The train is
made up entirely of Pennsylvania Com
pany refrigerators, cars all of uniform size
and appearance, and each car will be deco
rated with large muslin banner, making a
very attractive appearance, and the train
will no doubt be the occasion of consider
able comment. As it speeds through the
Western towns and cities an excellent op-
portunity will be afforded every one to see
this train, as the Pennsylvania and Santa
Fe people have arranged to take it through
all the way by daylight. Mr.. T. NJ. Orr,
general agent in this city for the Santa Fe
route, has had prepared very neat sched-
ule showing the exact running time of this
handsome train and this will be sent in adj
vance to the various towns, so that the peo-
pie may have an opportunity of knowing
when the train arrives and seeing sample
of the product of one of Pittsburg's largest
establishments. Taking into consideration
that there are some Is competing roads into
Kansas City the Santa Fe is certainly to be
congratulated on having secured such q
desirable shipment.

How Two. Men Cleared Themselves Of q
Charge Of Body Snatching.
Attorney William Macrum and E. D..
Smith, Division Passenger Agent of the
the Baltimore and Ohio Railway Company,
had nerve trying experience yesterday
morning. They live at Ingram station,
where the faculties of the inhabitants have
been sharpened lately by several burglarious
visitors, and in consequence, people who act
suspiciously are very apt to be closely in
spected, and almost every person who owns
anything worth stealing keeps revolver
under his pillow at night. In the dim un-
certain gray of the dawning, before auroral
radiance suffused the eastern horizon, ,Messrs
Smith and Macrum saw two men in charge
of horse and wagon pass their residences,
and while one man drove, the other kept q
sharp lookout for something In the wagon
bed, which was covered with q tarpaulfn.
The evident solicitude of the men for the
safety Of their freight made the inhabitants
of the peaceful hamlet suspicious that some
evil had been done under cover of night,
and that the men were either burglars or
grave robbers. The two gentleman named
sat down to breakfast, but finally decided
to suspend long enough to overhaul the men
and investigate. They armed themselves
and started in pursuit, oyertaking the
strangers on hill. The latter displayed
so much perturbation when accosted that
the pursuers felt sure they had a case. The
men were Germans, and with difficulty
learned that they were expected to submit
to inspection, but when they were made to
and disclosed dead-hog. They resumed
their journey, blithe and light-hearted, and
Messrs. Macrum and Smith secured good
appetite for breakfast.
