A apedal meeting of tb street committee waa held ea Monday evening, with the following ' member present ! Messrs. Riddle, StermfeUt, Sing, Haines, Freeh, dimming, Lftag and Underwood. Mr. Wine m absent through sickness. Chairman Riddle aald the object of the meeting wM te make inquiry m te the, truth of reports in circulation for Mveral says aa te the weighing of stone de livered ie the city during the year 1K&. The parties named in connection with the scandal demanded an investigation, and te give all an opportunity te be heard this meeting was called. This investigation was net made at the Instance of any mem ber of the committee, as none of them had any grievance. C. A. Oast, the 'clerk of the committee, mtm directed te reduce the testimony te writing, Alderman Barr'was present te qualify the witnesses and City Solicitor Brown was present as the city's rcprosen rcpresen atlvet te conduct the examination of the witnesses. Jehn McCully was the first witness called, and his testimony was as follews: I was employed during the year 1888 te weigh the stone hauled from the Engle quarry ; I kept a book t witness Identified the one shown him by Mr. Brown as the book in which the weight of the atone delivered was kept ; 1 weighed nearly very cart lead of stene that left the Vplarry ; there wero net many leads that I did net weigh ; there might have been a few iu the morning befere I get thore; I w cut en duty about 8 o'clock ; the carters get there as early m half past live and if I was net there at 0 o'clock seme of the carters took their leads away ; these leads weie weighed by the foreman of the quarry and he g no the weight te me ; this did net happen mere than a half dezen times. Mr. Brown asked the witness hew it oc curred there was 4U0 pounds dltrcrence in two leads carried by the same cart, ene weighing 2,000 pounds ami the ether 2,'iVI pounds. Mr. McCully explained the dlfXorence in tills way: Eight trips constituted a day's work himI the carts wero expected te take IR. 2,000 pounds en each trip; but if the carter takes UtyKWpeundsin seven trips, it counted the same; the (list leads In the morning wcic usually the hoariest. Mr. Kiddle asked hew it was towards the end of the season that se uintiy leads weighed exactly 2,000 pounds, when earlier In the season the weight carried varied se widely, and read from the record kept, the following : Octelcr 18, 61 out or 80 leads weighed exactly 2,000 pounds ; November 2, 71 out of 7U ; November 5, out of 80 ; November 7, 40 out of 01 ; December tl, fi.1 out of 72 ; December 7, 70 out or 82 : De cember 8, 4t out of B0 ; December 111, D!t out of 511; December 11, 35 out of 52; Decem ber 12, 07 out of 75 ; December 13, 06 out or 73 ; December 14, til out of 81 j December in, 42 out or 40 ; Decciutier 20, 15 out of 15. Mr. Rlddle asked this questien: Is it possible te put en the scales 81 Jeads as the carts till up and 8J of thorn weigh exactly 2,000 pounds? Mr. (McCully' s answer was that the carts would come en the scales weighing l,tei5, 1,050 or 1,075 pounds; I would gie the tarter credit for a ten, but charge the dctlc iency in u little book I kept, and the carter would make up the dellcieney the next lead; I admit that I was dlrellit iu net weighing the carts as often ns I should when the weather changed ; after a rain u cart would neigh mere than in dry weather; I deny that I was down at the bridge when carts came iu and net thoie te weigh them ; 1 might have been absent occasionally towards the end of the season, but only for a short time. Mr. Blddle asked if it was possible te put 2,000 jMiunds of Mone en one or these nuts. Mr. McCully said it was u big lead, but the weight was correct. Mr, Drewn asked Mr. McCully where the little book was in which he charged these dellclcncicH. Mr. McCully replied : 1 cannot tell where VT it is ;-lt is mislaid. Mr. llrewn asked Mr. McCully why he kept two sets or books 'and Mr. McCully suld te satisfy the carters. They had te carry 2,000 pounds a trip te satisfy Street Commissioner Bertz. Mr. Kiddle ir you get thore and round no carts waiting did you net go away and net get back 7 Mr. McCully I might have done se once or twice. Mr, Kiddle Is It net a root that carters towards the last get careless and could haul as much as (hey pleased and get credit for 2,000 pounds overy trip ? Mr. McCully Everything was done right and it the city was beaten iu any way it was in 1113' neglect In net weighing the carts. Mr. Brown asked when the carters niade up the deficiencies spoken or, with which they were charged. Mr. McCully There might have been mjiiie discrepancy tlioie. They might net have always made up the deficiency through neglect en my part. Tills- finished the examination of Mr. Mc cVilly. Till; VAIlTKHs' TKSTIMO.MV.

They hauled stene fiem the quarry which avas weighed by him, except probably the tiist lead and ir he was net there te weigh that lead they were credited with 2,000 pounds. The leads weighed from 1,050 te 2,000 pounds, but there were only a few or the latter weight. '1 or the above witnesses with a single exception thought it unlikely that the stones w elghcd exactly 2,000 pounds, but they accounted fur the entries the same way Mr. McCully did. inhere were a rew pounds short they were given credit Ter a ten and expected te make up the dcilciew-y en the next trip. That appeared te lolhe custom. Thore was no agreement, but thoshertago was always made up. t KIIKPKUIUK tUSULl's TIHriMONV. Frederick Englo,the ew nor of the quarry from which these stones wcre taken, was next examined, ana ins testimony was: As far as I knew Mr, McCully was at the quarry all the time stone was being hauled away; I furnished him with alioek te keep his accounts, and only saw it afterwards onee or twice; I de net knew whero it wus kept; I never interfered with the men at .t)u quarry in any way; they had it all their 'uh n -way last year, the same us new; I kept no account of the stene furnish!-,! te the city, and did net knew what was fur nished except by the account given te me by the wclghiuaster.

Mr. Riddle stated that the account kept by Mr. McCully had been audited by the clerk of the street committee and Mr. Gast was called as a witness. His testimony was: i counted up the several Items eT stene hauled from the quarry and found that 114,400 pounds wMlch appear en the hooks Mr. Engle has net been paid for. This oc curred through the neglect of Mr. McCul ley in carrying out en some days the amount of stone delivered, and by the ac count as corrected the city Is Indebted te Mr Kngle 125.77. n The cemmlttee,aer deliberating for some time en the testimony, reached the follow ing conclusion by a unanimous vote : TMK IXJNCtCMOy RKACHKP. That from the testimony received there is no evidence that the city has been de frauded, and no evidence that any ene has been dishonest but sim ply that Welgh-mastcr McCully has been careless In his methods and had a peer plan of book-keeping. All per sons connected with the matter are exon erated from intentional wrong and Mr. Engle is freed from even a suspicion of wrongdoing. At the conclusion of the above Invrstim- tten the committee discussed the proiesod removal or the stene crusher te another part or the Engle quarry. It whs decided te lie inexpedient te place it at the place proposed, at the top or the Meuth Queen street hill, en account or the danger thore would be te parties who have te use that street with thelr teams and a resolution was adopted suspending operations at the quarry for the present Ttiocemmitteo will makean examination or ether quarries near the city seme day this w cek and hope te be able te net a better quality or stene than'Is furnished the city at present.

More AVIilsky Seller tn Iown Than Kver llufore. Collector Wobster,of the Dubuque (Iowa) district, lu a lotter te B. F. Wright, or Charles City, " futher of the late prohibi tion amendment," gives the results or the attempts te cuforce prohibition in the forty-nlne counties of Northern Iowa, constituting his district. The Iowa law makes the possession by the de fendant of n gevurnmeni license a piima facia cvidence of guilt. Te escape this prevision of the law many or the appli cants have taken out their licenses, under mythical names, mid u still larger niimber or dealers are doing business without n government license, preferring te risk detection by the internal revcuue e'llcert) te creating evidence against themselves befere the state courts. The efforts te enforce the law, Collocter Webster says, " have been costly net te the state alone, but ha e resulted in great oxpense te this department by requiring us te detect and famish iMirsens unlawfully engaged Iu the i'juer business therein. Frem your county (.Mr. Wright's) we have taken Inte court nine lioetleggers and convicted them of iolatien of law by carrying en the liquor business without having government li censes. Frem Gov.

" We have had but three criminal cases from Duhuque county, and none were for lioetlegglng. Frem these facts It may Ihi inferred that Gov.

Resolutions Adopted Denouncing the Liberal Wlmr-Mhdten Wright and Ml Adherents KxpaUed. Yerk, May 14. At this morning's sec Ien of the general conference of the United Brethren In Christ, a resolution was adopted declaring that Bishop Wright, of Ohie, and the ether delegates who with drew from conference yesterday and formed another organization, had Irregu larly withdrawn from this body and the church and are no longer ministers or members of the church of the United Brethren In Christ. r At a meeting this' morning of the1 minority conference, the small faction op posed te recognizing secret societies, the committee en the state of the church made their report embodying resolutions te the effect that they were the regular general conference or this church standing llrmly en the constitution of 1811 and strongly condemning the liberal views of the nut going majority In their new constitution and confession or ralth. DISUNITED lUlKTIIHEN. Secession or a Portion or the General ContVrence at Yerk. The long expected secession in the United Brethren conference took place In Yerk en Monday. When It became known that the new constitution was te go into ef fort Immediately the minority left the building and held a secret meeting In another part of the city. They then do de cided te iiand together under the old con stitution. Accordingly an open talk session was held at 2 p. m. In the Park opera house, Bishop Wright presiding. Sixteen minis ters w ere present who had ceased te act with the larger body in its deliberations. This step is the culmination of a long controversy, which was Itegtin In Its present form four years age at the general con ference at Fostoria, O. The 4we bodies new dlsagree as te which is the old church The inlnerity or seceding section claims that distinction because they clcave te the old constitution, while the majority claims that title because the members have ex isted since 1811 under the constitution, and work under It only in amended form. The minority will held morning, afternoon and evening sessions each day this week. Aiier tne majority session had closest many of the ministers Isited the meeting held by the minority and listened te the proceedings. The Iralters comprise nearly one-slxth of the entire list of delegates and have opjtesod the lay delegation in flie gen eral conference, and also membership Iu secret societies. They claim te have been willing te compromise, but declare thelr openents would make no concessions whatever. AMEHMJAN BANDIT). Detulls of the Attack ou Treasut-e Guard. A dispatch from Tucson, Arizona, savs: Majer J. W. Wham, U. H. paymaster, "ac companied by his clerk, W. T. Olbden, left here last Wcunesdav en atrip te pay troops. They went by rail te Wilcox and from that point, by ambulance, overland, The funds paid troops in this department are In coin en account or the scarcity or green basfes. The amount was about f75,O0O. It was put In a strong weed box, banded with iron. This was strapped te the hinder beet or the ambulance, which carried the paymaster and his clerk. , .- The paymaster disbursed at 'Fert Bewio Thursday and Fert Grant.

He had an escort often colored soldiers in command of two colored non commissioned efUcerc The dlstance from Grant toThemus is forty-live inllcs,threugh a mountainous and uninhabited country. Ceilar Springs station is about iitldw-ay,and is made historic from the fact of being ence an Apache stronghold. It was at this point, three miles north of Ceilar Springs, in a deep narrow gorge, that Majer Wham was attacked. As the party approached the point (hey found the read ebstiuctcd by several large rocks. Soveral of the escort get out of their wagons, leaving their guns behind them, and proceeded te remove the rocks from the read. As they gathered around u lingo boulder a calling flre came pouring down from thecHllsatid breastworks. At the first flre several efthem foil. The ethers rushed back for their guns and the battle began. Maj. Wham'sdriv or was wounded early in the fight and craw led away Inte the bushes. It is new bollev ed that twel ve rebl iers were engaged iu the fight. When they found they could net disledge the escort from the lcdgoer the rock iu which they hed taken refuge, they made a detour with a part of their ferce te the side of the mountain, and opened flre. Then the soldiers saw they could net disledge the robbers, and took te their heels toward the ravine, te reach w hlch they had te cress a cleared sjmce fully a hundred yanls wide, exposed te the murderous flre from the slde of the mountain. One robber is known te have lieen seriously WQunded, as the soldiers could see them strapping him te the back or a iniile and jomevo him. The highwaymen ev idciitlv anticipated a hard fight, for they had built a fortification further up the hill. Inte which they could have retreated had they been eeniclled te abandon the first one. After the soldiers hed reached the bush In the ravine the robbers kept up a constant firing. One cortieral was shot in the stomach at the first attack, three mules wcre killed, and ethers dis abled. It is l-ellaycd that the robbers have cscacd around Graham mountains, making toward Solemonville, or are still en the Fert Grant side. As overy mountain pass, railroad train, water hole, and truil Is watched, it seems hardly possible that they can escape, though they may get IntoSeuoni. During the light eight of the escort were wounded, four or them fatally. The sheeting was at short range. Clerk (lib bon received sv oral bullet heles through his clothing.

Indeed, It did net vanish entirely through a big hole. At this time of the' season margins are of but secondary consideration; but even sales without margin are effected only by drib lets.

And the range of soles In seed com prises principally tillers and binders. As te wrappers, the market is again scoured for Sumatra. There has Ikjcii a livelier Inquiry for Sumatra the past week than for the last two months. The buyers who held back In aoticlnut'.en that the new crop weuiit citiicr De lower tn price or liettcr in iiunllty must have become sorely disappointed already lit their expectations. That the new Sumatra will be mure exten sive than the '87 crop Is new a fact estab lished beyond any denbt. And as te Its quality the few lets that have arrived are still tee raw In thelr appcarance te war rant a correct Judgment. Hence the largely increased inquiries for old Sumatra. But no enhanced safes have thus far re sulted therefrem. They are still conllned te what is practically the hale basis. Naturally the Havana business Is also suffering from I he general trade depres sion, but net te the extent Sumatra and seed Is.

It Is proposed that a new schedule lie adopted, which will give the rlubK at least four games a wk. The home umpire rule has proved a dis mal failure, and the clubs are unanimous in thelr desire te sociire a com potent corps or three men and a substitute, who shall be under the control of the secretary.
