Trimo sport wns eipectod at to-dny's sos
Bion of tho Commissioners of Accounts in tho
investigation into tho nllolmont of stands in
tbo new West Washington Mardet.
Tho'matoriol to furnish it was present
when Commissioner Holahon announced
that court was opon.
Tliero was Mayor Orestes Cleveland, of
Jersey City, who wns a potential factor in
securing stands for his brother-in-law Wm.
II. Iloog; Bookkeeper Davidson, to explain
the myBtorious entry of "barrels,
375'" on tho books of his em
ployer, lUchard D. Brown i ' ' blond
headed " Tom Campbell, Fatty Walsh's rival
as a market restaurateur, and ex-Assemblyman
Daniel E. Finn, who has been wanted so
Ions to tell about his securing a stand in the
new market, but who had successfully evaded
the snbpoona-servers of Mr. Nicoll and the
Commissioners until Saturday.
Mayor Cleveland was the first witness ex
amined. Ho told how he secured five stands
from his brother-in-law's firm.
Ha had known Sunt, Kelso forty-three
years, and visited him at his offlco to ask him
if tho rumor that stands would not be allotted
to non-residents was true.
Mr. Kelso said that it was. but remarked
that as two of tho partners resided in the
State that fact uncut mako somo difference.
Afterwards tho witness made tho application
in the name of W. II. Hoag A Cc.
He could not oxplain why the permits were
turned in tho'namo of Van Doren &. Co. and
ltussoll Hone
Mayor Clovoland slid that he had como bo
fore tho Commission voluntarily to relievo
tho memory of his old friend, Bupt. Kelso,
from any imputation of wrosR-doing in so
far as tho granting of permits for stands to
his brother-in-law was concernod.
Thomas 1 Farrell. of 27 Wost Thirty
seventh street, was the next witness called
by Commissioner Holalian. and tho testi
mony bogun was a bomb-shell for the Com
sioners. 'the witness is a member of tho Tammany
Hall Association of the Fifteenth Assembly
District.
He said that ho had heard through M. J.
Smith, a saloon-keeper at Thirty-sevonth
street and Eighth avenuo, that it cost John
Curley, a stand-holder in tho new market,
SM to secure his permit.
" To whom did ho pay it ?" was the next
question.
" To a man connected with your office at
present."
"Wlmt man?"
" Col, Theodoro Hamilton, Assistant Com.
missiouor of Accounts."
The witness baid that ho had told this story
to Mayor Grant, who baid that he mUBt go
before the Commissioners of Account and
toll it, as ho (tho Mayor) was bound to sift
this matter to tho bottom and soe if there had
boen any orookednobs in tho allotment of
fctauds.
Jouu Gurltjr, tho standfholder mentioned
by the procediug witness was next sworn.
Ho testitiod that ho applied for a Htaud.and
through his son tried to interest Gon. F. H.
bpinola in his bohalf. Ho thinkB that tho
Uenoral got tho stand for him, for Gen.
bpiuola had told him so.
Col, Thooduro A. Hamilton, ho said, had
offered his services in assisting the witnoss to
soeuro tho stand and ho had accoptod Mr.
Hamilton's holp.
Tho Colonol clalmod that he got the stand
permit, but tho witness believed that Gen.
hpiuola's inlluonco was more potent in socur.
jnEit,Ro,'.'jubt to make things easy," bo gave
lI. Hamilton 845 to pay him for running
around.
' ' Before I got my stand, " the witnoss wont
on. t ? '" Hamilton asked me for luonoy,
I told him I wouldn't pay five cents to any
jnan in the city government, but if ho wonted
the money for himself I would givo it to
him, I gave him 425 then.
Afterwords I govo him $10 when he asked
po for it. and about Christmas tiwo I gave
bira Sio more,"
Mr. Curley said that ho had bought two
coxes of cigars for 620 and presented them to
oupt. Kelso, and had given $14 to Chief
Clerk Graham MoAdara.
! i i'wnllton was noxt summoned to ex.
Plain his connection with tho matter.
He said that ho knows Mr. Gurloy. Last
June Mr. Curley askod him if ho could get a
corner stand for him. Ho said :
. I visited Mr. Kelso's offloe ovor a dozen
mes about tho matter. I never paid a cent
o any city official. Mr. Curley pavo mo the
mouey voluntarily for my servloes.

Huiioghuo wiib beaten by Von Pauscbiu in
sooral short.distauio races, but by very
small tnuiglus, aud his victory In tho long
distance put him nt tho top of the list.
Ho is only eighteen years old, and lives nt
Nuwburg, N, V., whero he has for ninny years
benii kuowu as n very fast sknter, as his
father was before him. Ho has won no end
of prics and models in this country, and
easily downed all comers iu races iu which he
took pmt.
His fathar, Timothy Donoghuo. nud bis
brother bine been iu town soveral davs watt
ing for tbo Uinbriu to arrive, mill many
mends woro on baud to give thu young elinni
plou a big wolcomo when ho lnuiH upon tho
dock.
When tho Umbria forged alongside her
dock ut 2.8J this afternoon a miubty shout
went up uud a pliiiKiint. faced youth in n si nl
lined overcoat waved his hat from tho for
ward deck.
Tho spouting wns lod bv fifty members of
the Manhattan Athletic Club, who had char
tered several stages for tho occasion. And
thoy hnd their banners, too, healing tho Club
insignia.
Joe's manager, O. L. M. Knchi, I'roidcnt
of the Notional Skating Association, preceded
Jon down the gang plank.
Ho received nn ovatiou. but his reception
p.ilod when compared to tho lousing cheors
and hand-shaking bcsluncd on tho youthful
athloto himself when his nimblo feet touched
the dock.
Indeed, ho wns all but mobbed by his cu
thus nslic admirers,
He boro himself modestly, replying to tho
multitude of iiuestioiis nud congratulations
verv (itilttly nnd unaffectedly.
Joo snid no had been the recipient of much
fiutteriug attention since ho left theso shores,
Dec. H.
Mr. Sachs and Donoghuo wero eonnlloil on
tho pier and compelled to tell nnuw of Joe's
victories, which havo boon duly rocorded by
cuble.
" I run glad to got hick and sorry to ar
rive " wns the wny Jon put it,
"You see, I hud such n good time over thero
that 1 was almost sorry to come away, though
towards tho Inst I got u little homesick. Hoi.
land nud Austria aro all right, but America
beats them ull.
" I hud a specially enjoyable time nt tho
Liberal Club, in London, but I was very
much d sappomtod that tl cm was no icu in
Lngluud, as I should hue been glad to skate
there."
Said Mr. Sachs " Two days boforo wo left
Amsterdam Joe received a romarkably hand,
souio solltniru diamond ring from Crown
Vrineo Itudulph. of Austria, whose tragic
death was so startling. Joo bus it ou his
linger now. "
Uouoghui' was hurried uwav to tbo stages
ami dm en to the Manhattan Athletic Club.

with a hiiudsouio gold watch.
The Uist athletic contest ho will enter will

which will probably coinu oil within a fort

Thn champion skater brings back with him
