These re-criminations are unfounded. We

TENNESSEE STATE NEWS.
The ren..en.lary InrestIga.Ion.

Nashville, March 27.-The peniten-
tiary committee held three sessions
today, and tonight they struck some
sensational developments. The SER
geant-at-arms came to town from Win
chester tonight, having as witnesses B.
A. Ring and John NJ. Donelson, Frank
lin County citizens.
Mr.. Ring told tho committee that he
had 400 acres of land in the lot that was
to have been bought by the State in
Franklin County, and that he was to
get $50 per acre for it. Tt was his un-
derstanding that the syndicate was 10
mako SIS. 600 on the deal.
Mr.. Donelson is the executor of g. G.
Phillips, and Mr.. Phillips was mem-
Der of the syndicate which was to un-
load the Franklin County land on the
State.
Mr.. Donelson testified that on the
day before Phillips died he (Donelsou)
wrote out Phillips will; that among
other things Phillips explained that the
land syndicate expected to make S15,-
coo out of the trade with the State, and
tnd1 AOLlLIlSS1OH0E Ihs II. I1C1JONOAA W01
to have onefourth of the profits, there
being three parties in the syndicate.
Mr.. Donelson also testified that sub
sequently he had conversation with
Ramsey, another member of the syndi-
cate, in which Ramsey said Mcdowell
was an equal partner with tho other
members, and was to have gotten his
share of what was realized.
The sergeant-at-arms could not find
Ramsey at Winchester, although he
keeps livery stable there and is gem
orally at his place of business. 1t was
tho supposition that Ramsey is hiding
out.
Joe P. Fulcher, head of the contract
ing firm who are now building tho main
prison, was also before the committee
today. He said his company was will
ing to throw up the contract, provided
they were repaid what they had already
expended. He said he did this because
the people, he thought, wore crying out
against heavy taxes and the erection of
such an expensive prison. If there was
anything crooked in the bidding or in
the letting of the contracts, he said he
did not know it.
He admitted, however, that he had
copy of the specifications at his resi-
dence and at the residence of his partner,
C.. A. Stevenson, while they were fixing
up their bid, while all other would-be
bidders had to look at the specifica-
tions in Architect Smiths office, from
which place they were not allowed to
remove them.
Ho knew nothing about the delay in
the arrival of Judge Young on the day
the bids were filed, and never gave up
any money to delay him. The plans and
specifications had not been changed, no
said, since the contract was awarded.
III. p. Mcdonald, of the contracting |
firm of Mcdonald Bros, Louisville, |
was on the stand in the afternoon. He |
exhibited and explained in detail his
plans, which he said would have en-
tailed an expenditure of from 100000 |
TO 5000 He said that the extrava-
yancies could be stricken out of Smiths
plans and several hundred thousand
lollars saved.
G. A. Stevenson, of Joe p. Fulcher &
Co., did not seem to know great deal.
His testimony was similar to that of his
partner. He know of no crookedness,
10 said.

Manufacturer says of the change:
Some of the buying side of the market
professed to believe that the increased
cost of material would not make any
marked difference in pig iron prices,
but this was before the figures were
announced. One reason for this opin-
ion may be that low prices have pre-
vailed so long that it is difficult for
some to believe that higher figures may
soon be reached"
