CHARLES 81. DAMERY,


time keeper on the work, said that Mr..
Staples had never sworn at him but he
had heard him swear at others. One day
seeing man smoking at the stable, he
swore at the man and hitting him
knocked the pipe out of his mouth. Z
Mr.. Staples's teams had worked for the
city but were credited to John D. Murray
This was by Mr.. Staples order, the latter
saying. 81 have got some hired teams
on, and you let that one of mine go in
last year. On July 8, two of Staples
teams were hired and credited to Murray
At another time two teams were hired
in similar way.
Witness testified to seeing street boss
intoxicated and also another employee.
Witness presumed that Staples knew it;
but could not state as of his own knowl-
edge. Witness knew of one man who was
discharged for drunkenness as he pre-
sumed. ags
!. 9On cross examination witness said he
did. not report q teamster who was
drunk, and gave him full time.
AS to the teams alleged to be hired In
Murray's name witness said he had never
Investigated to see whether the city paid
for those teams and did not know
Witness denied ever saying that he was
after "Staples and Morse" and knew
enough to hang both," or that he sale
Morse was to have Stapless place and he
witness, Morse's.
Witness admitted that he had given q
certain man time when he was not al
work, and had been reprimanded by Mr.
Fernald. Witness said 1t was mistake
In another. instance he had given mar
time when he did not work, but com
planned that he had special orders which
seemed to cover the case, SO he did not re-
port when the man was not at work.
Also another instance at 90 minutes tc
in the morning there been a call for 8
load of sand on Congress street; but az
witness did not go to work before seven
and as it was out of his line of duty, he
refused to have anything to do with an
swering the call.
: In answer to question by Alderman
| Rounds witness said he had orders tt
keep Dennis O'Donnell on the pay roll
regularly This was done by Staples
orders.
Witness said he did not know whether
O'Donnell worked both night and day o.
not. He did not know why Mr.. Staples
had issued this order.
Alderman Rounds at this point wanted
to adjourn. I'd Il fe
I Alderman Leighton said that he die
not see the necessity Of adiourning at thi
hour. He thought the board had bes
stay in session untila12 O'Clock.
Alderman Ilsley said he thought tn

point and the hearing was adjourned &C
cordingly until O'Clock this Afternoon
when it will be resumed in the council

New York Dec. 1S.-"An ashore, ex
cept pBssengers!'- cried the chief officer
of the steamship City of Columbia at
$50 O'Clock yesterday afternoon, and a
few minutes later little band Of ar
gonauts had started on the tT1p to the
Alaskan gold fields, more than 10000
miles by the voyage around the Horn.
In the band were seven women and
twenty men, according to the purser's
list, undaunted by the rig - OF the climate
and the scarcity of food. The women and
some of the men are under the leadership
of Mrs. Hannah S. Gould, business woman,
of No. $50 West Twenty secondstreet. The
start was made from the Old Dominion
line pier at the foot of Beach street,

drew the steamship from her berth light

a strange black cat had wandered aboard
in the NOR %sIg, remaining under coaXings
of milk anc meat. and in the saloon were
several floral horseshoes.
Mrs. GCuld, the leading spirit in the en-
terprise, went aboard at IL O'Clock in
the morning. She wore a yachting cap
and a pea Jacket. Long before her ar
rival several of the passengers, surrounded
by scores Of their friends, were on hand.
All morning and up to the time OF the
vessels departure stream OF visitors
kept filing over the narrow gangplank.
From early morning stores, provisions, and
baggage were lowered into the hold.
The most exuberant of the proSp 1ctiye
gold hunters were Louis B. Adams, Il son
of Al Adams OF Tenderluin fame, and his
cornpanions, John w. Pinekley, former
Tenderluin policeman; Charles w. Robbins
and william Kelly. They are backed by

CHRISTMAS FESTIVI-

The Gust oms and established forms of 'el-

today strike a foreigner, especially IN

The feast is not so extensively celebrated
In an of the Eastern coutries as in the
north of Europe, but certain dsages and
formauties laid down with an iron rule aie
as unalterabe as the laws Of the MeGes and
Persians and are as implicitly accep .ed
by the people.
The preparation for Christmas consists
OF fast similar to our Lent, which be-
gins six week sbefore the daya nd is strictly
observed by every orthodox Greek. After
the fifth week the women arrange th.ir
houses comfortable and prepare the meats
and the special kinds of swee thread, cakes
and jellies. Lamb is the Christmas iish in
stead of our turkey, and preserves s;lnplant
