 Mir. Con said If 1t were possible for the corruption to have existed in the police force without the knowledge of the witness. Yes. sir" replied Mir. Martin. ''and 1t did exist without my knowledge"
 Tt has been testified that you pro- tected disorderly house kept by Mrs. West. and that you made the policeman apoiogize?"
 T asked the captain to investigate the matter at the request of friend of mine. whose name I will give if the committee desires. told the captain if the house was as 1t was represented to be to do his duty"
 But Captain Schmittberger swore you made the man who raided the house apologize to Mrs. West" "Then he swore to what was false"
 Witness said that he thought Captain Schmittberger did not like his (Mar- tin'S interference when he removed of- ficer De Gam from the steamboat squad.
 Do you consider that the superin- tendent performed his duty fully?" "we always found him alert and energetic when anything was brought to his notice"
 "If the board and the superintendent had performed their duty could the tre- rible state of affairs have existed? 2" That is a hard question to answer. I do not think the board. as at present constituted. can prevent such things"
 Would one commissioner Of police, instead of four. solve the difIiculty?" T do not think it would"
 Witness said he heard a great deal more about the corruption before he became a commissioner than after wards.
 Witness was questioned concerning his property. He said he had about s1.SO0 in banks and owned two houses, one worth s10.000 and the other s25, ,0OO. Since he had been commissioner he had saved $2,000 year out of his salary of Ns5. 900.
 Witness said that was all the prop erty and money he owned.
 MT. Golf asked the witness to hold himself in readiness to attend to-mor- row. An adjournment was taken until tomorrow.

Is Financially Embarrass ed.

The police department during the coming year promises to be singularly hampered, at least in financial sense. The appropriation. made by the court of common council is $4, ,996 short of the necessary amount to pay the current expenses. There is no appropriation made for the grading of the men, nor is there any made for the payment of Officer Waas, who Is on the Veteran Reserve. The expense of the recent police investigation will amount to about $500. but it Is expected this will be paid by the city instead of by the department.

o THE R EETS OF PIRISs
How the Gay City is Systematically
 Washed Every Day.

How the Gay City is Systematically Washed Every Day.
 When 1t is said that the entire pave- ment surface of Paris is swept clean every morning, and that to accomplish this only thirty-two hundred men are employed at most, and ,asslarge propor- ton of these only for a few hours each Jay, it hardly needs saying that the work of the street-cleaning service Is conducted in most systematic way, remarks writer in Harper's Weekly. The plan adopted is, however, extreme ly simple. For purposes of street. cleaning the city has been divided into
 one hundred and fifty districts, called "ateliers." Each atelier is presided over by an official known as canton nier," who is held responsible for the
 yroper care of all streets in his territo- ry. Such force of subordinate en- ployes and such machinery and appa- ratus are provided as experience has proved necessary. The "cantonniers" and their chief subordinates are sala- ried officials Cat from one hundred to one hundred and twenty-five francs per month), and give their entire time to the service; the other employees are paid by the hour (strong men receiving thirty-two to thirty-seven centimes, and women, children and weak men from twenty-five to thirty centimes"), and, as rule, are employed only dur ing the morning hours.
 The main body of the work is done by sweeping machines, each drawn by single horse, the work of the hand brooms being only supplementary. The order of procedure is practically the same in all parts of the city and over all kinds of pavements. Summer and winter the work begins at a. m. In advance goes a watering machine to settle the dust. This is followed in mar row streets by a single machine, and in wider ones by two or three machines in succession, the foremost one near the center of the street. Such cavalcade passing up one side of the street and back the other shifts all the surface garbage of that street into the gutters on either side, while single man fol- lowing f1ushes the gutters, and directs all but the bulkier portions of the gar bage into sewer openings, situated at short intervals between the hydrants
 Such a cavalcade is equivalent to small army of hand-sweepers, 1t being estimated that each machine does the work of twelve nren-that IS to say, of twelve Parisians, each of whom is SUD- posed to sweep five hundred metres in an hour. Each cohort of watering carts and sweeping machines has, of course, it's definite district to cover, and so accurately are these apportioned that all the different cohorts finish at practically the same time. By about half past eight the entire city has been swept, and the detritus worn from the pavements by thousands of hoofs and wheels the day and night before is car ried harmlessly on through the great sewers to the Seine, instead of hurtling on every chance gust into the face of the wayfarer, as does the dust of less favored cities.
