Tho purpose of his examination (leading from the original tnlu uto book of the Commissioners) was to show the incomplete ness of the minutes, and the ipparcnt careless manner In which they are lecorded. Tho contract of Helms and Woll for paint ing tho exterior of thu court liouso attracted some attention. The witness said tho con tract says that Holms' and Woll each shall re ceive $3.00 per day. The minutes, howovor, in this connection, calls for f:S.50 per day. No, sir, tlieio is nothing m tbo contract I showing that Helms und Woll wero to ro- cclvo 2,i cents extra for each carpenter and plasterer. I ho bills for this work wero madu up in the ComnilsiUucrs' ofllce. Ilavo nn recollection of Mr. IUlnis painting a balloon in the basement of tho court liouso (laughter). I saw Mr. Helms duwn thcro onco or twice; can't say how much paint was there. A bill of John E. Woll for $2!) 75 dated August 12, lb!)0, bearing tho approval of Allen and Martin, was shown witness. The bill showed that $25 commission was allowed for carpenters aud plttstoring. Tho defense strenuously objected to this testimony, but as tho painting hills hail aHeady been admitted tho court held tbo examination was proper. I ho witness was not awaro that tho t25 commission paid Woll Was for uso of brushes and scaffolding by tho plasterers aud car penters and had been afterwards taken oif their wages. Tho minutes in which the Itinehart error of $0,bO0 wa3 made wore written by Clerk Schmidt and not by Con-nell. THK FUNDED DIMIT. On January 1, 1807, the outstanding tem porary loan was $149,000. Tho $142,000 fuiideu indebtedness created in 1S91 is still unpaid; all temporary loans were wiped out; the Controller's statomeut uf January. 1SU7. shows the above items; I know of no other financial statements being filed previous to issuing bonds, but those now before mo. Mr. Ityon contendod that the Controller was not required by law to furnish state ments. Tlio court did not agreo with Mr. liyon. To Mr. Marr: The amount of outstanding temporary loans, January, 0, 180(5, was 105,- 000. I here was in the treasury at that timo $21,3.i2 52. The revenue due from all sources was $187,210.70; this, with tho cash on hand, would make $208,50:1.88, leaving a balance in tho treasury of over $13,000, after tho tem porary loans amounting to $105,000 were paid olT. Mr. Heber stated there would be a sur plus in thu trasury eacli year if tho monies due by tax collectors was promptly returned there would bo no occasion for temporary loans. In answer to Mr. Scalck he said tlio assets of $112,000 showed on tho records January 1st, 1801, were merely on paper and Included unpaid taxes dating back nine years. He mentioned one item of $400 in 1888, and others buck to 1885. He thought if ull these balances wero paid it would not bo necessary to have temporary Ioaus. lhoassats include moneys duo from tax collectors who have giren bonds. Tlio ex penses of the county, testified Mr. Ueber, havo increased perhaps one third in tbo past two or three years. Mr. Marr referred to tho Lyon-Dunn con test court by way of illustration. Clerk Iieber could give no reason why tho surplus appearing in tho treasury accounts was nut used to pay oil' the loans, except the great increase in the expenses within the past several years. Ihis morning J. . Geary, county sur veyor, was on the stand. He superintended the excavations at the Almshouse. He sworo that somo of tho leaves of his original time book gut wet and fell out and be made out a new timo book from the old one after tho work was douo. Unfortunately ho de stroyed the old book. Evidence was theu produced shuwiug the wages paid Geary's two timekeepers. Tho same kind of evidence was also produced concerning Charles J. Connor, the excavating contractor. The latter paid his laborers $1 25 per day and got $1 40 per day from the county for them. Ho paid $1 por day for teams and got paid $1.50 by the county. Deputy County Treasurer Samuel Doibcrt testified that he never got a penny of cither of the $5,000 missing loans. Ho said ho was a clerk in the Treasurer's ollico during 1S05 ind 1800. This afternoon Morgan Jones, janitor of the court house, was called upou to designate places whert plumbing had been done in tlio building, Mr. Sclialck: Do you know of any now plumbing about the court house since you wero elected on Jan. 1, 1807? Objected to by Mr. Ulrich aud objection overruled. Yes, sir. Do you know of any new tank or basin in the County Surveyor's oilieo? If you will tell mu whore the County Sur veyor's ollico is perhaps I can tell you. 1 lie witness then said there was somo now plumbing In the docket and Grand Jury room, and in other otllces of tho building. Uu cross-examination tlio wltucss read a list of Improvements. When did you make up that list? You might have mo arrested if I told you (Laughter). Mr. Wllhelin then exphlncd that ho had asked the witness to get up thu list. Thomas Lawrence aud James liussoll wore called to testify ascxpertson plumbing work, but nothing of importance was developed. It is stated this afternoon that the Com monwealth intends to close its case to-day.

STAGE FIRE. 1'ittilc Averted by Prompt Action. ami Direct There was a fire on the stage of Ferguson's theatru during the performance last night, but very low peoplo who wero in the audience kuow of it until aftor they left the theatre. This was due to the good judgment of tho poople who saw the blazo. The audience was a large ono and had some thoughtless person cried "Fire !" aud precipitated a tiuuic thcro doubtlessly would have beeu a disaster to record to-day. Just before John L. Sullivan and his spar ring partner wero to appear tlio stage was cleared of all obstructions and tho wings pushed back as cluso as possible to tho walls. While Sullivan's appearance was awaited one of tho right wings caught fire from an unpro tected gas get.

Senator Ilannn appealed at the open ing of the session. Mr. Porn Iter, the senior senator from Oliln. presented Mr. llanna's credentials for the remainder of Mr. Sherman's teim, which will ex pire on March 4, 1809, and uskert that the oath of oIFIce be administered to hlin. Mr. Foraker escorted his i-ollengue to tho desk, where Vice President Ito bart administered tho oath. At the contulslim of the morning session Mr. Wolcott began his ad dress. He was in One voice and com manded tho earnest attention of his auditors. Ills address eoribiimed an hour nnd fifteen minutes, and duiing that time not a senator or representa tiveand many of the latter were pres entleft the chamber. Senator Wol cott explained the failure of the commission to secure an Interna tional agreement by saying that its effortB were undermined by the reports received in England from this country. He declared that he felt sure of Presi dent McKlley's sincerity In the desire for an international agreement, and that Secretary Gage's statements were at variance with those of the president. He vigorously scored tho Gnge currency bill, and declared that "It will reach limbo before It reaches the senate." Ileferrlng directly to Secretary Gage he said: "The selection of the members of his official household Is the president's own affair, and so long as he stands upon the question of bimetallism whore he has ever stood, there is no serious ground for apprehension. Hut even In the Inconceivable event that the chief magistrate of this people should In the exercise of his Judgment determine to countenance the final fastenings upon this country of the tiurdoiu, of the gold standard, I trust we may still find war rant for faith and hope In the pledges of the party and the w Isdom of Its counsels. Wo will ero?s our bridges when we come to them. The time when this country will submit tn the final imposition of gold monometalism Is far away." At the conclusion of the speech Mr. Wolcott was Instantly surround -d by his Republican colleagues desirous of tendering him congratulations. The Immigration bill was then taken up nnd discussed until 3 o'clock. An amendmont offered by Mr. Spooner, of Wisconsin, providing that the ability on the part of tho immigrant either to read or write should bo accepted as a sulllcent test of his literacy, was adop ted by a voto of 42 to 22. Another amendment by Mr. Spooner providing that tlio members of the fnmlly ac companying an immigrant rejected un der the conditions of the hill should be returned to the country whence they came by the steamship companies was also adopted. Other efforts were made to amend the measure, but failed. The bill was then passed by a vote of 45 to 23. Tho bill as passed provides that nil Immigrants physically capable, and over 16 years of age, shall bo able to read or write the English language or somo other language, but a person not able to read or write who Is over CO years of age, nnd Is the parent or grandparent, may accompany the Im migrant, or the parent or grandparent may be sent for and come to Join the fnmlly of the qualified Immigrant; and wife or minor child not able to write may accompany or be sent for and come to Join the husband or parent who is Qualified. The act does not opply to persons coming to the United States from the Island of Cuba during the continuance of present disorders there who have heretofore been inhabitant of that island. Yesterday was District of Columbia day in the house, but only three bills of local Impoitance were passed. The re mainder of the session was devoted to further consideration of the army ap propriation bill. The debate was partic ularly notable for a vigorous speech by Mr. McClellnn, of New York, a son of General Geoige U. McClellan, attack ing the preM-nt army organization as obsolete nn Inefficient. He asserted that wo were wofully unprepnred for war should a crisis come, nnd contend ed for modern methods.
