NEW YORK PAYS AN OLD BILL

New York Times: In addition to what
it will cost New York city for street
cleaning in 1895, will be $225. .0n0 for clean
ing streets for si1 months during 1864.
The payment of this money brings to
termination an interesting chapter of the
city's history, involving charges OF brib-
cry against mem bers of the city council
under Mayor Fernando Wood and the
names OF past and present prominent cit
liens of this city and state.
Mayor Wood. on February 26. 1861.
signed contract between the city and
Andrew j. Hackley, under which the
streets were to be cleaned for FIVE years at
$279, 900 year, payable monthly. The
contract had immediate effect, and Hack
ley cleaned the streets without Interrupt
ton for the succeeding three years, when
1t was charged that the contract was
awarded through bribery and fraud.
Hackley. however. continued to carry
on the work. but received no money. At
the end of siA months he, in connection
er, and Thomas Hope. both financially
interested, brought quit against the city
for the money due them and for breach OF
contract.
The case was tried before Homer H.
Stewart. sole referee. Witnesses testified
that $40, 600 in checks had been left out
side the city council loom the day the
contract was awarded, and that in man
ner unknown the checks had been trans
ferred to the pockets of the city fathers.
The fact of the mayors brother's con-
nection with Hacxley in the contract
was also brought forward as an evidence
that everything was not straight. Inc
referee, however. found The contract
valid. and so reported.
The judgment given upon this report
was reversed. and the court of appeals
granted new trial. Hackley. mean
time, had assigned his interest in the
matter to Samuel Donaldson, father. OF
Senator Donaldson, from Saratoga and 70
about fourteen others.
Abraham Wakeman was then made ref
cree. There were hearings at different
times between 1880 and 1888. The city
was represented by Francis L. Stetson
and Franklin Bartlett, and the plaintiffs
by T. Cronin and ]. ]. Marrar. Again
the case was decided in the plaintiffs

was reouced to $3.50. 900 by the court of
common pleas. All parties consentinr,
judgment was entered, but the city again
appealed. and the case was to pc again
retired about month ago..
On the eve of the date set for the trial.
however, the city's attorneys offered to
settle with the plaintiffs for 80 cents on
the dollar on the $3.50. 900 basis. This
offer was accepted.
