Pottsvllle, Jan. 22. Tho greater part of tho trial of tho County Commissioners to-day was consumed in probing Into tho expenses of the lobby sent to Harrisburg to defeat the new county bill. W. J. Whitehouse and Hon. S. A. Lose li were prominent witnessos for tho defciiso. During th aftcritoon bession vcsterdavMr. Hill, tho witness, said ho received live per cent, on the cost of the Klingerstown bridge. lie was asked to produce his book but sa d ho had not had timo to go to his ollico. Mr. Whalen said ho was trifling with tho Com monwealth. A statement of bridgo work for ISOo-'OU showed Architect Hill received $018.80 iu percentages and J3,2 17.75 paid on extra work. Tho extras wero for tho extentiou of tho wing walls at tho Ashland bridgo to protoct tho same; aud oxtra masor.ry at the 1'inegrovo structure. Tho witness could not furnish a solution to tho fact that tho contract priro of tho Ash laud bridge was $1761 ami that for the Piuo- grove bridgo f 1170, and that tho extras on these two bridges totaled $J030.75. The $873 for oxtias on tho Tatuaqua bridgo wore for an additional sidewalk. The Barucsville bridge extra wing walls cost i200. Tho extras on this bridgo wore the result of a request made uy a citizen, lie received live per cent commission on tho extras also. Q. Did you stretch out tho Hues at the iustanco of the contractor? A. Yes, sir ; at that timo I had been told by one of the Commissioners, Mr. Alien, I think, that lliey had, agreed to extend tho walls. Tliore was considerable chaflamong counsel at this point about ouo of the counsel's method of pronouncing Ulrich, and Messrs. Ityun and Whalen exchanged hits. 1 he bridge at itoyuolds was then tackled aud tbo witness said lluor timbers weio spliced and other repairs wero made. The bridge cost $070 and the extras $112. Hill got 5 pur tent, commission on both amounts. Q. lho Ashland and Pinegrovo bridges were completed lu February 1SSM. aud tlieu you presented your bill for commission, now Isu't it a fact that you came in later aud charged u coiuiuissioti on $3,700, isn't it a fact tills last bill was a clear swiudlo of the county 7 A. No, sir. I did not charge my full com mission when tho bridges were completed iu February. Q. Tliu inspectors pass upon a bridge after its completion do they not; and the inspec tion is to take the bridgo oil' the county's hands? A. Yes, sir. Mr. Schalck here called attention to a war rant drawn February 3, le00, to Wm. D. Hill for $13 23, the bill showing that it was payment iu full for services on the Ashland aud I'inegiove brides. ltcdireet examination to Mr. Mair. Q. You never received any compensation above your five per cent, on any of the special work? A. No, bir. Q. You never charged extra for your ex penses? A. No, everything was included in tho five per cent. He told of tho necessity of hiring teams to rcacli certain bridges notably those at Kliugsr Stattle, Hubley, Helfeiistelu. Uo thought it about 8 miles to Hubley which led Mr. Marr to remark that was the longest 8 miles he had ever seen ; it was nearer IS in his estima tion. Mr. Hill described tho method followed lu determining when a new bridge was usccssary, tho preparation of plans, the awarding of the contract, tho laying out of tho ground for the contractor, tho supvriu tendence of the work, his reports to the Commissioners and of their final inspection of the bridge work. He said tho contents of this bill presented were put there by a clerk of the Commissioners' ullieo. He mado up his percentages from the amouuts of the con tractors' billi. Ho said he received advances when tho work progressed but the Commissioners al ways examined the work bufore making pay ments to sco whether or not any money was due him. The Klingerstown bill of $13.75 was dwelt upon at sonio length by Mr. Marr because it tended to show that tho architect was underpaid for all the trips, etc., that he mado. For tho Mabel liarty township bridge his chargo was also light, but $30 70. He made four trips, consuming a day each trip and hired a horse and carriago each time. He also prepared the plans aud speci fications. He recited his journcylug to the Panics ville bridge via Maliauoy City and Lakeside Electric Itallway. He helped the contractor to stake out the ground; there was some do lay, owing to the material being behind timo. Ho made eight trips, including the final one of inspection with tho Commis sioners, prepared the plans and specifications aud charged in all $10.25 commission. Mr. Marr exclaimed: "They did not ox- amino you about these bills, and I say you'll not get rich at that rato of charging." The witness made no charge fur expenses, everything was included with tho percent ages of ji per cent, J n making his agicemrtit with tho Com missiouers ho told them tho r.ito of percent ago ho had received from previous Commis sioners aud they will they'd pay him the same, 11 vu per cent. The Molino and Port Clinton bridges wero discussed aud the questions then turned upon tho pcrceutage paid witness on tho Ashland and Pinegrovo bridges, which Mr. Marr con- teuded was not excessive, nor doubling the charge, and by tho answers it so appeared. Examination of the witness was suspended to allow Joseph W. Moyor, Esq., to testify, and Mr. Hill was instructed logo for his note book and to tell Mr. Geary to brlug his field notes. I.KOISIATIVE COMMITTER. Mr. Moyer was sworn iu. Said he was a member of tho liar Association. He attend, d a neetlng lu 1603 at which a resolution to 0 ipose the Orphans' court bill was passed. The now county bill was also dlscuised at that time. 1 A committee was approved to go to Harris burg and work for the delay of tho Orphans' Court bill and tbo defeat of the new county bill. Ills evidence agreed with that of Messrs. Woodbury and llreckons, heietofore published. Wo explained to the Commissioners that wo thought tho county ought to pay the committee's expenses and wo would glvo cur services free. Tho Com missiouers refused aud said the law was against it. W said tho law never foroaw such a contingency and wo would guarantee that the liar Association should stand by them in the event of any body objecting We said the Interest of the county was at st. ko and tbo defeat of tlui bill would save money to tho taxpayers Wo wanted $300 and they finally gave us $200. Mr. Woodbury, chairman, drew the money but could not go and ho gave mo the larger part or it. Luzerne County Commissioners were there, too, with a big crowd and a brass baud to oppnso tho bill. Objected to by tho Commonwealth. Mr. Kyon said it wasdeslred to show there was concert of action between tho two coun ties. Witness further replied that he got $150, one third of which went for car faro and the, other two-thiids for board nnd lodging. Thero were others besides the committee in cluded. They received the defeat of the Orphans' Court bill and miiile a second trip ou tho now county bill. Tho prosecution objected and said in- quirics should bo confined to what was done witli this money. Mr. helialck made another objection when Mr. Ulrich remarked, "Keep quiet!" "I won't keep quiet." retorted Mr. Schalck. After the tempest had subsided tho exam- illation was resumed. A IXUIsr.ATOIt'H HIUVY I'llIUE.

Mr Moyer said that they had gonoto Mr." Schalck as treasurer of the liar Association. knowiiiL. that ho had no money and they informally discussed tho matter of going to the Com missioners for the money ; told tho Com missioners that they would be denounced by the people if they did not make an effort . m defeat the measure. Mr. Moyer spent $30 for car fare, and could not now say how many persons he paid ior; mo money was spent lu tliu usual way by gentlemen away from homo and seeking to make an impression on others. Hu spent no money on any person except members of his party, only that ho disbursed over tho bar. Ho had paid the bill of J. II. .lames, lq.. not ono of the committee, but when Mr. Whalen lead a hotel bill for $23 for Jamo she said that was not the bill. Architect Wm. D. Hill was recalled this morning ami iu answer to Mr. Marr, counsel lur inciieieiise, said himself and tho Commis sioners arrived iu Now York about 2 o'clock In the afternoon. Wo met a man named Mears aud he introduced us to an electrical engineer who agreed to show us the diuerent plants. Ho failed to meet us aud we got an other man. Wo spent all tho next day look ing at uiuerent plants and ou the next day we inspected plants iu othsr narts of the city. Upon our return wosat in the Commis sioners' ollice and figured up our cxpeuscs. I had $150 when wo left homo and had nono when wo returned, but tho Commissioners refused to allow mo morn than $00.50. Q. loll us whether any of tho bids on ibn dynamos and electrical machinery complied wiui wio plans aim speeilications ? Objected to by Mr. Schalck on the ernnml that tho bids theinselvesaro tho best evidence. Judge lleehtel said that there miaht have been nothing to prevent another party from oiuuiug inner to secure mo contract and then purchase tho material from tho manufac turer. He said he had already mado a dif ferent ruling in this case, and continued the Judge, "I can't rulo both ways iu the same case. Its bad enough to do it iu two dif ferent casus." He therefore ruled tho ques tion out. Mr. Ityon said in that event they would bo obliged to Bend to New York for tho bids. To Mr. Marr the witness answered that they visited electric plants at tho Ilotel Walton and Marks Hros. storo, Philadelphia. We found out the machines now inusout the almshouse wero mado by tho General Electric Company and by no other firm. Q. When did you learn that? A. I knew it heforo wo loft homo. Q. Did you find out they didn't do tho wiring? A. Yes, sir. O,. You then advertised for tho wiring because tho General Klcctric Company did not furnish the samo? A. Yes, sir. Cross-examined by Mr. Schalck: I got plans and specifications from othercompanles besides tho General Hleetrie Company, but prepared my plans aud specifications iu the main from those of tho latter company by the advice of my own electrical engineer, ltalph Moore, agent for the (I. K. Company, was hero also. Another person made some suggestions to make tho plans, etc., comply with the rules of the Insurance Under writers, but he does not know that this per son lias any connection with tho G. V.. Company. Q. Havo not the General Electric Company a store where they keep their supplies on sale ? A. I think they have. Tho phaus, etc., were produced and Mr. Schalck said ho would read them during tho afternoon. (J. You spent $150 on tho trip and mado out a statement. A. Yes, sir; but not of our private ex penses. Q. Why didn't you attach that statement to tho bill? A. I don't kuow. The witness produced tho blue nrlnts furnished by tho Horscheads llridgo Com pany asked about yesterday, and also his noto books.
