PORTER FOR CUBA. Plymouth Ckarcks Assistant Pnatov Ball aa Satarday. The Rev.

Horace Porter, assistant pastor of Plymouth Church, will sail for Cub on Saturday on his Summer vacation. Mr. Porter, who hat been assistant pastor of tb church, will be gone for two week or more, and it is his intention to collect material enough to giv the people in the chnrch nd others an intelligent Ides of what the principal possession of the United State resl'y is. week was no; competent to perform tb necfMary work of ttrwagUieniug it without employing outside architect. Mr.

klutphy said the work was done on resolution of tb Board durlug hit absence, Mr. Murphy, In newer to a question, said he wet the leader of bla district. When asked if be knew bout a poolroom at Tblity-thlrd street aud Third avenue, he aaid that be ktiew of no poolroom it (bat point Mr. Maset then asked Mr, Murphy about tha time he spent lu the Dock Department and In his piste of business Mr, Hoffman brought out that Mr. Murphy waa always at the dapartmant when it was necessary.

Chief Engineer Ulrdtall, of the Department of Water Supply, waa then called aud questioned about the number of water gates In the department Mr. Btrdsall aaid It would take 1 man a year to make a Hat of tha water gate. Mr. Moss questioned him about the hydrants and water gates bubbling up In tha street. Mr.

Uorgan, of lforgsn A Slattery, was then called. He said that the firm had been twelve years in business. He wae questioned about tba large buildings designed by the firm prior to doing public work. then asked him where he studied architecture. He said he had beau an architect for fifteen yeprs aud was not a member of the architects society and never asked for membership in that aoeiety.

He was then asked about the designing of the Tombs Priaen. He we asked why Mr. Cook, the original archied, resigned from the work, and be replied by telling Mr. Moae that that was a question for Mr. Cook to anawer.

Mr, Slattery waa then pot on the stand. Mr. Slattery said he wa acquainted with John F. Carroll, but he never had any conversation with him about the Tombs Prison work. He met Mr.

Carroll quite often, and did not pay him any money nor did not know of any money being paid or given him by bis firm. Mr. Mosa questioned the witness as to how his firm got the contract for doing the work. He was asked about the condemnation by bis firm of the plans of other architects. Mr.

Slattery told Mr. Moss that Mr. Horgan could answer, and when Moss persisted the witness said: "Mr. Moss, if you are bones; in wanting to get at that, call Mr. Horgan and ask him.

This led to a squabble and Mr. Maset had to step in to rescue Mr. Moss and take him within the shelter of the committee's authority by suppressing the witness. Assemblyman Hoffman took a hand and showed that there was a motive on the part of Mr. Mots, backed by the chairman, to try and contuse tb witness by asking questions which, if the truth were wanted, should be put to Mr.

Horgan. Mr. Moss then entered into tba extent of Mr. Slatterys acquaintance. Mr.

Slattery said he knew John F. Car-roll and it was Mr. Carrolls friendship that got him tha work of remodelling the interior of the Democratic Club. He said he did not think it was due to Mr. Carroll's friendship that be go: the city work, but claimed that it was due to their meritorious work.

When Mr. Moss pursued the matter of John F. Carrolls friendship, Mr. Slattery replied to the question by saying: I do not know tha: Mr. Carroll's friendship had anythinig to do with our getting the work.

I bops It had. He was then questioned about the work of designing scows and dump-cart for the Department of Correction. Mr. Moss wanted to know if he thought that was dignified to jump from designing buildings to dump-ca fnt1nd the witness laughed at him and told him that hit firm was in the business of designing and building. The witness then, in answer to questions, said that his firm had designed and drawn the plans for engines and boilers.

He also said his firm was now taking ont the interior fittings of the Charities Department boat W. L. Strong aud refitting the vessel. Mr. Slattery said that the fees of his firm for 1898 were about Mr.

Moss then tried to get from him that it was unprofessional for his firm to go over another reputable architects work, as they did in the care of the Hall of Records. The witness told Mr. Moss that the editor of the Architectural Gazette, the criterion of architecture in the United States, had writ-fen a' column editorial commending the proceeding, whereby the city was saved over 91,100,000. When Mr. Slattery entered upon this matter Mr.

Mere got disturbed and had to attack the witness and cry out: Stop! Stop!" Chairman Motet properly1 came to the rescue of Mr. Moss and ordered the testimony striken from the record. Mr. Mosa again got Into rough water with the witness by trying to question the witness about a report drawn by Mr. Horgan.

Moss persisted In tbit Una of attack on the witness in spite of the statement that Mr, Slattery was the outside man of the firm and Mr. Horgan was the Inside man, who drew the report and made the planet Mr. Moss then, in tha course of his side remarks, said that his process server had not been able to find Mr. Slattery, as he waa ont of town. Mr.

Slattery prpmptiy called Ir. Moss down and told him that he knew he wae acting unfair. "It la not true, and you know It I waa In tbe city every day end Your man knew it and you know It. Most and the witness then got into a wrangle about circular and llllptlcal boilers. Mr.

Slattery refused to answer tbe ques tlons, And when Mr. Moss tried to demon' strata something to the witness Mr. Slattery tamed hie head in another direction and told Mr. Moee repeatedly to call Mr. Horgan, who was in the room and who had charge of the work.

Mr. Moss again tried to question the witneto about report on work, and the witneaa said: "If you really want to get at that matter, there 1 Mr. Horgan right over there, call him and ask him. If you are honest and want the Information, It 1 right there behind you a few feet Call Mr. Horgan and get the information you want, If yon want it." At another stag of the contest between lawyer and witness, for It wa really that.

Chairman Maset took ahaod, and asked about the witness' experience at an hrcht tect Mr. Slattery replied by saying that be would answer question about the city government, bnt nothing else. He refused to answer a question about the relative merits ef two kinds of Iron beams and boldly told lawyer and chsirmai that it had nothing to do with the city government, nor bad hia'reputation anything to do with it Bt would anawer any question that did pertain to the city government and on which he wa in any way Informed. He jpsned forward la his chair and aneerim'y aaid to Most, When that genteuun tried to cast a slur on hi sanding; I Th Owpl.liu( S.a.at.J tli XstU I mntloa That She Was Jealous of the D.l. How Mr.

De Brluke and had aeen certain acta committed there.

Then, again, It waa testified to that the De Brlnke woman had been seen time and again peeping threogh the keyhole of the front door of Mis Edward residence, during the visit of Mr. Perbaca. The defendant waa represented In court this morning by Edward H. Kissam, while Sidney V. Lowell looked after the interest, of MUs Edward.

The counsel for the defendant took np some of the Court time In tttemptlng to show that there waa actually no foundation to. entertain the charge which had beeh preferred.

The witness, when questioned is to why ehe believed that Mrs. De Brisks had written the letter, the only answer she could give wa that it looked very much like hfer penmanship. In answer to a further question, she admitied that ah had several Other letters of the defendant which aha bad taken from satchel belonging to Mr. Perbaca. Perbaca was then called to the witness stand and said that he lived la the tame b'ouae with Mrs.

Brink. He recognised eome letter which had been written by Ur. Brinke, bnt was quite positive the one In which the threat wa made was Aot cent by her. The witneaa said that Mies Edward had accused him at leSat a thousand time of being friendly with other women, and wee very jealous of The question waa pnt to the witneaa aa to what board he paid in the home, and he declined so answer on the ground that It waa hla private buiiaese.
