Palsbury's Troubadours, minus Salsbury, began a week's engagement at the Adademy lost evening, in their new musical farce 'coirnsxrnfo the ExaxraAnos. Mr.lt. K. Smither said: "The committee; have nothing to withhold. We are opon to answer any and all questions.

The resolution extending the time of Pratt Letchworth for thirty days from December Slst explicitly states that the convict labor com. rmttee are authorized to auowsucn aooiuonai time after January 1st, over and above said thirtyMays for such removal, as said committee shall deem reasonably necessary therefor, so far as the same can be done without material damage to tha interests of the county. This -provision was made upon the general supposition that the piece-price prison labor system might tiecome a law. "A question of this kind was an experiment, and it seemed wise and to the best interests of the county slow. It was important that some work should be prepared for the employment of the Erie County penitentiary; Messrs.

Pratt SLet'aworth have immediately vacated all the room we have asked for. Part of the convicts were set "at woofc making chairs, andi. in February -the new sewing department iwas instituted. "These things have all been accomplished and have been so far satisfactory. Pratt Letchworth have supplied the steam power tree as a recompense in part- it suouia De remembered that Pratt Letchworthi have erected many new shops at the Workhouse, a largo smokestack, without any charge to tbo county.

The claim pf Pratt Letchworth against the county for buildings erected was 4, til7.72, amount allowed by. the supervisors 339.53; upon the condition thatali of the property, improvements and fixtures be left upon tne grounds of tha penitentiary. Iu doing this the committee acted upon their best judgment to work for tho best interests of tha county. Now, as there bas been no special legislation on the prison labor piece-contract system, it has become apparent that we shall need the extra room for work for the convicts. We have ordered Pratt Letchworth to vacate, and they are doing so.

"The committee was disposed to be fair with Pratt Letchworth Ttnd at the same time work for the best interests of the county. We wero glad to! get the heat and power from Pratt Letchworth." i i Up; to the! timeof the close' of this report not a particle of evidence had -been introduced tending to show any fraud on the part of tho supervisors' committee or any one. else. -i Funeral of Henry Brock. 1 Temple Beth Zion was crowded this after noon by people who came to testify their respect to the memory of the late Henry Brock.

i secretary and Executive olhcer.i To Wliom Ioes the PLscovcry Be- Ions? Epitob Buffalo Commercial: It very frequently happens that important discoveries are made simultaneously i in dif-! erent countries. Thus it was that oxygen was discovered in England by Dr. Priestley and about the same time in. Sweden by Scheele each acting independently of the other. Printing is likewise the; result of a1 similar coincidence.

It is not then at all sur-prising that a disease as universal and a3 fatal as consumption should find minds at all times and in all lands bending their whole energies and talents to discover soma method whereby its ravages might at least in a meas ure be overcome. is Within a short time a great deal has been published concerning the new method of treatment advocated and practiced with con siderable success by Dr. Bsrge jn of Lyons, France. This method consists in injecting into the lower bowels a combination of two gases consisting of sulphuretted, and carbonic acid. It is claimed for this process that the gas enters the venous circulation and proceeds to the lungs where it destroys the bacillus which is now generally admitted to be the cause of phthisis.

Another method which is the discovery of Drf. John A. Lani- gan of this! city aird which he has' practised for Jhe past four years with remarkable success, both in this city and in Canada, consists in injecting ypodermicaily a solution containing liquor calcis, sulpburata and hyposulphite of calcium. It is claimed for this method that it is more immediate in its action, passing directly into the circulation, and moreover is less bulky and disagreeable than that of Dr. Bergeon DrLanigan claims also that diphtheria is much mora successfully treated in this manner and with the same medicines than in any other way, he having treated 107 cases which occurred during an epidemic; of that disease in Nova Scotia two; years ago, and out cf -which number only 5 died.

The public at large will anxiously -watch the result of both these methods of treating the most formidable of disease. Both methods are based on nearly the same principles. Which of the two shall be adopted will rest entirely on their results in a given number of cases. t- B. v'-ii- Btoddarfs Cora SalTV.

The attempt of certain newspapers to make a sensation out of the disappearance of Wil- son, the Insane Asylum! inmate, and to connect hhn, in an important way, with the Ilrown case, has failed ingloriously.

Prison-lJtbor-CommlwIoner Blair Preside Over aLoi( IaTentieaUoit at tne Pen-, itentlary Today A Uvrly Session, but Mre Barbs Tnaa Bites. 1 At just 11 o'clock this forenoon Mr.

George Blair of the State Prison Labor commission, together with Messrs. M. Hess, M. Kinsley and George Lowe and: other representatives pf the Central Labor HJnion of thi3 city opened the investigation of the alleged frauds charged by the Central Labor Union committee against the Supervisors' committee in extending the iine to Pratt Letchworth for removing the shops, at the Penitentiary. AU of the committee, Supervisors R.

K. Smither, Henry H. Persons, Charles Brayton, W. F. Fisher an Philo D.

were present together wifo several other supervisors. 4 The ground of the alleged frauds claimed by the C. L. U. is summed up in the following statement to the governor, which brought put the investigation; I Bis Excellency Gov.

Datid B. Hill ileargir By instructiens from the Central Labor Union of this city, of which body we are the prison committee, we respectfully call your attention to the tact that thcrcis an evident conspiracy existing here hetween the supervisors and the ex-prison contractors to defraud the county. Tne in ihe case have been laid before the Oistriot Attorney, but.he claims no law authorizes bim to, move in the matter, and consequently retuses to prosecute. iao xacts reierreu follows: The contract bv which Pratt ft Letchworth util ized the labor of the convicts ia the Eric County Penitentiary being aboutito expire, tho Supervisors last November passed a resolution giving the firm thirty days to remove their from the These thirty days expired January 30th last. Instead oi removing their machinery an nnlawtnl deal was whereby the ex-coctractors should occupy the preraides sixty days or more as a manufactory and they are now in actual possession and employ AX) people in; the 'M The countv receives bo pay for 'the I use of it3 projerty.

'Xhis is the most aiitmrent evidence of corruidicn between thesse parties, but we are satisfied that il an investigation was had other and even more serious abuses would be nuearthe i. We respectfully suggest that the subject-matter of this communication referred to Buoh static elMcer or commission as imay have tho authority and ability to probe this undoubted crookedness to tne bouom. cry iruiy yours. ju. tir-hs.

U. At the opening of the investigation Super visor Smither on bebalf of the committee said: "We are advised by the attorneys of tha lioard of supervisors that in so far as the Prison Reform Commission seeks to inquire into the management land, discipline of the convicts in the Erie County penitentiary they are acting within theirl rightful jurisdiction under the authority i of Chapter 1 432 ofthe laws of 18S6. But wheu said commission goes beyond this and attempts to usurp tha authority of the Board of Supervisors in arbi--tratingthe financial management of the county property not used in tho custody or employment of convicts they i are destitute of the slightest vestige of authority. Tho committee charged with the county's interests in this department howcvej is entirely willing and at all times ready toiyihdicate itself in this or any other charge of mismanagement or fraud and will waive the question of jurisdiction and will cheerfully and voluntarily testify provided they can bo! assured of fair and reasonable Ij "The investigation Should be conducted by an impartial and unprejudiced tribunal and not in an exjtarte spirit with a view of bolstering up wild and reckless charges that may from time to time have been made byjeertain individuals who have Hspught to bring themselves into prominence by assailing the committee and who have! nt taken reasonable precaution ascertain whether their charges have any' foundation in fact. The members of tho; convict labor com mittee have for; some! years positions; or prominence in tne community, politically, socially and commercially.

The ex-contractors have been doing business with the county fur more than 3.S years and are accounted amongst the most reputable firms in the state. Surely the reputation and integrity of these gentlemen are jnot to be impeached on mere hearsay by any! irresponsible individual who may 'feel dispos2d to make yagtie anq damaging charges- without oein required to substantiate them in some degree or at least to state some facts that willreasou- ably tend to this supposition that the charges are well founded; If this is authorized by the Prison Reform Commission act then it shall be called an act; to facilitate and logalizo I blackmail." At this point Mr. Blair asked Mr. Smither if the committee; refused to go -on with the i investigation at this "No sir," replied Mr. fjmither, I not if you 1 insist upon it.

I supposcl you will go accord ingto parliamentary i rules, and have the Pentral Labor Union state their jcaso before we, as1 a anjswer any of the so-called charges which haye been printed in the "Certainly," said JIr. Blair, and Mr. Michael Hess, one Pf the Buffalonians who Signed the petition that was sent to Governor Hill, as printed above, stand. I was called to tha The principal argument of Mr. Hess, was the supervisors' committee had no right to extend the time of Pratt Letchworth, that the heat and steam power furnished to the convicts at work in the thops by Letchworth was entirely inadequate to pay for the privileges they novf enjoy there.

Mr. Hess seemed to rather an unwilling witne's--. He would i not state the exact nature of the abuses, butJ claimed that he was satisfied in his own mind that abuses did exist. His testimony was ratherj vague and seemed be based more upon hearsay than personal knowledge. He claimed that it was useless ior representatives of the union to go before the supervisors' committees as thsy eould get any satisfaction.

"You seem not to much regard for 'the Board of Supervisors- of Erie said Mr. Blair, "or you vouldhav applied to them for information before making th33Bx 1 1 "No, I did not go before the Board, as I Jtnew it would be no i '-Haven't we always acted upon your suggestions!" asked Mr. Smither. "Yes, but the reports have always bsen doctored up 1 1 Mr. C.

M. Kinskey, was the next (Witness Called. He said: "There has been a great deal of talk upon this subject the laboring classes, and a committee! was appointed to bee the district attorney by the Central Labor union to see if Messrs. Pratt Letchworth could not be removed. The district attorney failed to meet with us at tho time appointed and we had an; idea that Mr.

Quinby was I shirking responsibility. Mr. Marcy, (assistant district attorney," said to, our committee, however, that the supervisors had full power to do 'as they saw; fit about extending the time to Pratt Letchworth. We then applied to a higher His! Honor Governor Hill, and laid our complaint before him, and hence this Investigation of the wrong perpetrated upon the working people, as well as upon the taxpayers of Erie county, Supervisor Smither: fj How was the wromj committed upon the working people by Pratt Letchworth continuing to give employ ment to two hundred men; at the Penitentiary works?" Why, the taxpayers suffered, by the firm net paying a sufficient sttm for continuing to do business." I can't figure out the individual lose to each and every laboring man. Instead of Pratt Letchworth finishing np their old jobs and then moving out as they should have done, wagon loads of new work have been taken to the shops, and! there is no way of knowing but what they will still continue to do so.

In regard to the steam power furnish ed to the penitentiary for the use Pf the buildings, I claim it to be inadequate and not a tir compensation. The room' occupied by Prat' Letchworth was needed too for the aceom -modation of the convicts i whj are obliged to work In the sewine-machine works and caning chairs. 1 also claiin that the' price re' eeived- per week for keeping, prisoner- for other counties is an abuse;" i At this point Keeper Stickney stated that outside counties thought! our charges" per TeeK wr ooaruius uuvicus were wrgi and how preferred to board them themselves; also that there were comparatively no outside men in the penitentiary now, except a few tramps and females which the law re quires Erie county to board. Tho prio per week is $3.25 per convict. The committee thought: that Mr.

Franey should nave been present as he was so promt nent In preferring the charges, but Mr. Blair claimed it was very important that Franey should be in Albany today. He offered to telegraph him to come home at once, but the committee thought it unnecessary. Supervisor Beard said he bad come home from New York on purppse to attend the investi ration, so that it could not! be claimed that he was shirking his duty, and that Mr. Fra ney would have acted wisely if he had dons the same.

This closed the evidence tor the prosecution The first witness coiled for the def enserwas scrravaoB B. k. BurrHxa. He said: I have been a member of the board of Supervisors for eight years, and chairman of the Board three terms. The committee on convict labor was instituted in 1SS5.

Pratt Letchworth nave had a eon-tract with Erie county for the past thirty years." i. I At this point Keeper Stickney very kindly invited the investigating committee and everybody present to dinner and an adjourn ment was taken until 3 o'clock. It is claimed upon good authority that the Supervisors hare ample evidence to prove that their actions wore perfectly fair and honest. ArTKBKOOS 8KS3IOH.

Valuable Statistics Gathered by the Lumbermen's Exchange. For a long time the lumbermen of this city have been hampered in their business by the difficulties and delays caused by their trains in crossing Michigan, Louisiana, Washing-ion and Genesee streets from the lumber district by reason of the numerous railroad crossings and the great number of trains constantly passing and repassing. I The matter was finally pressed to the attention of the Buffalo Lumber Exchange, and they resolved to obtain certain statistics.

Ac cordingly on April 8 reliable men were stationed at the Genesee and Washington street crossings to count the number el-teams and persons that passed on the7thi The same thing was done at the Michigan street crossing and on the 8th at the Louisiana street from 6 A. M. to fl P. if. The result was aston ishing.

The report was to the following ef fect: I 5 1 The Genesee street crossing has six tracks on the street, 134 feet wide. During the day teams and ISS. pedestrians crossed the tracks. jFonr passenger trains, eight freight trains and 78 engines passed by. The crossing was blocked by the switching of passenger and freight trains 81 times.

Allowing one minute for each titne'trafflc was 'stopped, the- crossing wae blockaded two houri and 49 minutes. i Washington street has two tracks with crossings 17 feet 4 inches wide. During the 12 hours 1,803 teams and passed, The number of passenger trains was 70: the number of light engines 31. The number' of blockades due to switching of passenger trains was 53. The crossing was closed 2 hours and 13 mlnute3.

At Michigan street the crossing 337 feet wide with eight tracks or sixteen rails. The number of teams crossing daring the day was while the number of pedestrians wai 13,005. Two freight trains, 54 passeng3r trains and 137 light engines passed by, while the crosslnz wa3 blocked 88 times by the shifting pf frefghf cars afld 131 times by the shifting" of passenger -cars. Allowing one minute for "each closing, tha crossing was blockaded hours, 52 minutes. The Ixmisiana street crossing is.

120 feet wide, with eight tracks or sixteen rails. A space of thirty feet separates the Erie from the Central tracks.) 'Daring the day 2,153 teams and 0,405 pedestrians crossed over. The number of passenger trains was 05; freight trains 18 and light engines 180. The crossing was closed 75 times by the shifting of passenger trains and G5 times by the shifting of freight trains. Estimating each closing at one minute, the crossing was blockaded over seven hours but of the twelve busiest hours of daylight.

i It will thus bo seen that during a singlo d.iy the lives of 25,877 persons and the safety of (5,801 tcaihs were jeopardized. Placing the average alue of a man's time at per. day, and the value ol a team at per day, it has been estimated that the grade crossings cost the region lying south of the tracks $103,000 per annum. THE SUSSING WITNESS. George V'ilson Found and Ar-i rVsted.

District-Attorney Quinby was notified, and proceeded' to question Wilson in detail, but the result has not yet been learned. AMONG THE PEOPLE.

The police have been busy investigating a bold and successful robbery which occurred on Saturday afternoon.

Some unknown sneak thief entered the office of Mr. J. F. Demarest, the mouey-broker, No. 9 Kremlin block, broke open his desk, and stole, about 900 in cash which it contained, including a package of $500 in bills.

The desk, which is an old-fashioned one, was easily pried open. The police believe that the robbery was committed by some person orv persons familiar with Mr. Demaresva babitrof leaving money, in the desk during short absences from his pE-ffice. The thief made good his escape, and probably left town with his "boodle." Funeral of John T. Hudson.
