counsel as to whether or not the wit ness should be questioned upon the rel ative merits of the creosoting and other processes. Attorney Cope argued that the purpose of having the witness tes- tify relative to the opinions of numer- ous scientific gentlemenew simply to show that the board had been informed by MT. Irving and may be others that certain processes of preserving piles were less successful than others, but that the board arbitrarily decided upon the adoption of a certain process.
 Referring to the specifications on which the bids were made Attorney Stratton asked: Did you not bid on the third set of specifications because you believed you would waive your rights to contract under the second set?''
 T preferred to rest my rights on the second set because I believed that had already rightfully obtained the con- tract. If the third set had been the same as the second l would, for the purpose of keeping the friendship of the board, have waived my rights and put in another bid. However, l consid- cred the third set as unfair to me, and so I did not put in a bid.''
 He went on to state that under the third set it was necessary to prepare at least twenty piles per day for the Green street wharf, which was not possible if honest work were done, par ticularly where there was a penalty clause attached.
 In no other specifications that he saw since 1890 was such a penalty clause inserted. While the time, forty days for delivering S17 prepared piles to the Green-str wharf was the same in both sets, still the delivery was ham, peTed in the latter case, and he would not have had time to secure his plant and do the work in the time required Attorney Stratton made many efforts to get at all of the reasons why the witness refused to bid on the third set of specifications, but not getting a sat- isfactory answer he made the following request:
 'I will ask you to confer with your attorney, and when you next appear on the witness-stand give me an an swer as to whether or not you will put in a bid under these specifications; and if not, what changes and notifications you will require in the same in order tC induce you to make an offer for the contract
 Another reason he gave was that he had been informed that Attorney Strat- ton had written a letter to Engineer Holmes advising the introduction of the penalty clause, and he, witness, had become scared, knowing that MT. Strat- ton had been the attorney for the Par affine Paint Company'S rivals in busi- nss-and that had much to do with pre- venting him from bidding.

DRUGGISTS ARE FINED.
W. A. Upp and W. N. Penney Fined and J. W. Boardman Sent
 fn Toi1
to Jail,

w. A. Upp and w. N. Penney. drug gists, were each fined s2OO by Judge Jo- achimsen yesterday for selling bogus liver pills. The difference between the two was that Upp had an ney had no alternative. J. T9iie w. Boaed- aed- | man, who manufactured the pills, was sent to the County Jail for forty days. The proceedings of the court were as follows:
 The court-J. W. Boardman, for sen- tence.
 MT. Beasley-Defendant is present and ready for sentence.
 MT. Patterson-In that case. if VOLT Honor please, we feel that we have been very much aggrieved. We have been counting on MT. Boardman's testimony against people, some of whom have been dismissed. He ran away from the juris diction of this court. We couldn't find him, and in consequence of being unable to secure his evidence against some of the orugglsts, we had to dismiss them. He was in contempt of court several times. and failed to appear here in accordance with the orders of the court: but not withstanding all that. I want to say on nehalr or the people, whom represent in this case, that they do not desire to per secute anybody. This Is a very serious offense on the part of MT Boardman. but we ask the court to be as lenient with true dignity.
 The court-In this case there have been two bench warrants issued for the arrest Of this defendant. and l feel like punish ing him very severely, for he has dis obeyed the orders of the court and has Kept this case hanging here unnecessarily The testimony showed that he was clearly guilty in the matter and that he de- served a severe punishment, and that also by reason of his disobedience and con tempt of court: but in consideration of the request of the prosecution that the extreme penalty be not imposed, I shall give this defendant lighter punishment The sentence of the court is that the de- fendant be imprisoned in the County Jail of this city and county for forty days
 The court-The case of w. M Penney for sentence.
 MT. Patterson-I have this to say in this case: That 1t seemed to me Mir Penney did his very best to tell the truth and he left the stand a good deal higher in my estimation than some others who were on the stand. and ask the court to be fen lent with him, and I ask the court in this case to make no alternative. whatever the fine may be.
 The court-In compliance with that re- quest, the sentence of the court is that the defendant be ordered to pay a fine of $200 VI

 Edwin Lewis, who qualified as a bondsman in a case before Judge Car roll Cook, was before the jurors on a charge of having. falsely sworn that he was the owner of real estate. Bond Clerk Newman gave evidence at yester- days session that Lewis owned no property of any value, and had com mitted perjury when he qualified as a bondsman. The Grand Jury has not as yet indicted Lewis. It is waiting for Judge Cook to appear before it and give testimony as to the affidavit which Lewis made before him.

Jimmy Anthony caused the first wait by refusing to go on until assured he would receive the full amount of the purse offered.

LEES FEEBLE ANSWER. The Chief of Police Refuses to Sur render Murderer Haynes Gold.
render Murde

Chief Lees made rather feeble an- swer yesterday to the order issued by Judge Hunt directing him to appear be- fore him and show cause why he should not be punished for refusing to relinquish his grip on the money found in the cabin of Theodore Park Haynes. the murderer of Lieutenant Burke.
 A short time ago Attorneys J. N. E: Wilson and Eddie Sweeney, who defended Haynes, secured judgment against their client for the amount held by Lees; Not withstanding that the court ordered Lees to turn over the money to them, he per sistently refused to do so. Yesterday he appeared before Judge Hunt and feebly attempted to explain why he would not let go the sack of gold.
 He declared that the money was held by him as evidence in the case of Haynes Notwithstanding that neither in the Police Court nor the Superior Court was the is- sue of the murderer's gold raised.
 After hearing his weak answer Judge Hunt took the case under advisement un- til next Friday.

Inhuman Treatment
 of a Soldier.
CUT IN. A SALOON ROW
PAT o'DooLIN DENIED PROPER e. MEDICAL ATTENTION.
Assistant Police Surgeon Bunnell :. s. Is to Be Hauled Over .< the Goals for His @,t ;. -: Conduct.

.. During an altercation in saloon at Me- Allster and Fillmore streets early yester- day morning Patrick O'Doolin, a member of Company K, Twenty-third Massachu- -setts, was stabbed three times in the breast. Immediately after the cutting his murderous assailant ran from the saloon and made his escape.
 |: The wounCed soldier was subsequently taken to the Receiving Hospital by the sergeant of the company, who met him a short distance from the saloon. AS they entered the hospital, they were met by a young man named Hopper, who Is en- fployed as janitor around the City Hall Hopper was engaged in mopping the floor of the hospital when the wounded soldier and his companion appeared. After cast ing aside the mop which he was using Hopper escorted the injured soldier to the operating room.
 On learning that the unfortunate man had been s.abbed Hopper at once notified Assistant Police Surgeon Bunnell, who was reclining in a bed in the sleeping apartments of the hospital doctors. When informed that the patient was a soldier Bunnell ordered the janttor to dress his wounds. Without even washing the dirt off his hands Hopper, who has a slight smatter- ing of surgical science, having attended the Cooper Medical Collegej proceeded to examine the cuts in the soldiers breast
 Notwithstanding that Q'Doolin com pIalned or pain Tn the region Of the lung, Hopper merely washed the wounds after telling him that he was not seriously hurt The sergeant who accompanied him severely criticized the treatment ac- corded the wounded private, and imme- diately took him to the camp hospital where he was properly treated by the sur geon of the company. :
 Dr. Bunnell explains his action by say ing that Hopper failed to inform him of the nature of O'Doolin's wounds. Several bystanders, however, distinctly heard the 3anitor tell Bunnell that the soldier. was suffering from three knife wounds which needed immediate attention. Despite the warning Bunnell, rather than leave his comfortable quarters, ordered Hopper to dress the wounds.
 ? It is not unlikely that. the conduct of the Assistant Police Surgeon will be called to the attention of the Board of Health by the sergeant of the company. He is considerably VeXed over the treatment ac- corded O'Doolin, and threatens to make 1t very interesting for Bunnell.
