sewers.

How did make op these pricesprices at which these sewers wereA. Here Is, for Instance that the se-ctionthe section constructed by Gregg &Company. This sewer has but 10 In di-

ameter and three 14 deep. Inthat sewer there Is, of course, very largehaul for bricks there to use, and have In

for more usual. This seer con-

tains per linear C23 bricks at 23, which$16.20; cubic yards of excavation at

77 cents, which ?6.1C; 71 feet of shorlnj;lumber at which makes $1.25; SO

of lumler for foundations at cents, whichmakes $2.10; altosether, S29.77. add 18cents for contingencies, making; $2.87 making531.61. Now, since was understood thatthese men were be paid In 6ewer certificates,and the president and, think, Mr. Oertlyfixed 15 per centum depredation of thepaper, and therefore $4.77 has been added onthat account to make total charge of$36.38, which the price he gets.

That the Boundary-stree- t A.That for the last part of Eoundary-strc-

eewcr. You decreases up.By Mr. Wilson: Q. to

of sewer has been increased overper Joot by reason the depreciation of thepaper in the contractor A.Certainly.

O. Does that thins occur with referthese other sewers A. That has teen

done the uniformly since sew-erage bill passed. Now, may be edd toto have appear that 77 cents cubic yardcharged for excavation. This wish to explainto you. You see these main sewers are verydeep. must consider that Inthe trench of about 25 there arefjur fcru, and cgaln, to construct

sewer would have construct threelifts more. Therefore, in making price forthe must calculate the many liftsrequired. In that we at the price of 77cents. The 77 cents Is made up follows:Taking loosening the earth, clay andso on, 13 cents. when he commenced,of course therewasnollft.but when he stoppedthere were seven lifts; therefore, three andhall lifts, at 13 cents make 46 6.10cents; leveling the sewer after built,cents per yard;6(6.10. Add to this 20 per cent, profit In theInvestment of the contractor, 12 4.10 cents, and

cause the cost per yard to be 77 cents.The other prices need no explanation, becausethey are regular prices.

Bv Chairman: Do you tMnk thatfoot reasonable price! A. Yes,

the these men got. don'tconsider thev make any money.

Q. You have added per cent, for depreci-ated paper! A. Yes, sir.

You consider reasonable A.Yes, think if got cash 15 percent, off, they would make no than fairbusiness rates.

By Wilson: O. Is the of PublicWorks letting contracts now! A. Most ofthe contracts that are let now are let outfor reasons, such relate to alleys.Mo new work being only workthat was up year which it is indis-pensable to have finished. Then of course,there are many outstanding contracts, whichoccasionally notice is to go on with.

Q. Who the contract for putting downthe pavements, &c, fronting the Governmentreservations, general mean In thestreets! A. Well, is hard to say; couldepedfy- -

there any cases in the city where thecontract tor grading has been let to one partyand the contract paving to another anddifferent party! A. Yes, sir.

Q. How do explain that! What dothat! bills were made tbe

By the Chairman: The quantity given bythe engineer and tbe amounts carried bythe auditor! A.. sir.

By Did the engineer fix theprices, or simply put In the quantities! A.simply the quantities.

Q. Therefore are unable to say whetherthere were any deductions made or not! A.Xo, hear deductions were not made atleast far see from the published assess-ment tables; that led me to infer- -By

Mr. Mattingly: The engineer's officemade no deductions in quantities for that! A.They had no opportunity to mako them. Theywere called on one day to know how much grad-ing there was on thatstreet, and on another dayto know much wood pavement thereon it, and therefore there was disjointed

By Wilson: Q. How has been sinceNovcmbci last! You spoke of having objectedto this way of doing business. A. have

looked to It, and think in tbe firstcase that came up under rule may haebeen corrected. think In tha case of

Q. With reference to what streets! A. Withreference to all his streets. He wanted to have

case opened, and have all the two feet thatthat was deducted from daring the wholeseason added to his account. Of coarse he ad-dressed the president. The vice president,to the of my recollection, requestedBarney to give the total number of suchstreets, and what to. Mr. Bar-ney, duty, communicated to me

The following account and description ol thewedding of Mr. Sarterls and Miss Ellen W,Grant, at tha Executive Mansion- - yesterday, wastelegraphed last evening to th New XcxkHereM- -'

" from Oaf Special Reporter.!"TrlSIHXOTas, Mar 21, 1S74.

The day which witnessed tbe, marriage of thePrtsUleaCi daughter waa radiant with sunshine,and long before the hour set apart fer the cere-mony a large crowd had gathered around thegates oflhe White House. Uuuiual precautionsbad been taken to prevent tbe admission of representatives of the press In Washington, andyour correspondent wai the only journalist present. At about 1030 o'clock he arrived at tbeWhite House, accompanied Carpenter and Cameron. When the lltrald carriagedrove up a number cf carriages were awaiting admission to the Executive grounds. This delay-- l

was occasioned by an accident to a carriage Justartbtf Chicle Was entering the gate. No seriousresults, however, followed, and In a few minutesthe line was again In motion. Following tbe car-riage of tho Herald came that of Mr. Biggs, theWashington banker, occupied by that gentlemanand two ladles of his family. As Mr. Hlggs car- -liazo was entering the gate the pole of the carriage following was driven through tbe rear ofthe RIggs carriage, driving In the panel andcausing alarm to the Inmates. One of the ladlesbecoming terror-stricke- made an attempt toleap from the vehicle, but was fortunately pre-ven-

d from doing so by one of the police officersIn attendan ce.

TDK WBITI! BOUSE.Arriving at the White House your correspond-

ent was shown into one of the retiring rooms onthe right of the entrance, where the wraps or theladles and head-gea- r of the gentlemen were deposited, and where the ladles shook out the amplefilds of their elegant dresser? and cast a final lookor Inquiry into the mirrors; and where the finaladjustment was given by fastidious gentlemen totheir snow-whit- e neckties. Emerging from thisroom the gneits were at liberty to wander overthe lower rooms of the house. Most of tbe ladleshurried oil to the East Boom, and after inspectingthe floral decorations took position on either sideof the main door and in front of the platform thathad boea erected for the performance of the cere-

mony. Mrs. Secretary Fish, Mrs. PostmasterGeneral Creswcll and Mrs. Sharps, sister of Mrs.Grant, occupied the Bine Boom, and did- - tho has.pltautles for Mrs. Grant. After being presentedto these ladles by Senator Cameron tha lltraldcorrespondent passed through the Green Boom,whire wedding-cak- e, tastefully dona up In smallwhite paper boxes, tied with white satin ribbon,was piled on a centre-tabl- awaiting distributionamong the gueits, and out into the famous EastBoom, wherewere assembled tbe major portionof the guests who had thus far arrived.

TDEXASTEOOX.This hlstorle room never looked better than

upon this nuptial occasion. Plants and cutflowers o! various colors d In elegantprofusion. In the roeesserand corners and aboutthe windows and doors"1 'ferns and' palms wereplaced. The Dlllars ttUtrnPDOrt the celllns:were entwined wltb CTefgreela, stalled wlln"tDonTCttiiwi Chased with heliotropes and rareMoslems, Oq tbo eastern side of tho room, aTImmediately In front of tbe main entrance, a platform bad been erected, extending between thetwo windows. This platform was about nineleches In height and covered with a Persian car-pet of beautiful deilgn. On each side werobanks of flowers embedded In moss, anl over Its'centre, pending from the celllng.was a large bell,wrought of the purest white camellas and sus-

pended by a cord of evergreen twisted and curledto resemble a rope. On each side of this marriagebell, under which the young people were to beunited, were wreaths of evergreens, sprinkledwith a delicate white blossom. That on the rightof the bell contained the letters, "A. O. F. S.,"the initials of the bridegroom, whilathat on thd

helt J6fitalfi- - the letters,r3:r-v- r o;" WtiInitials of the bride. These letters were com.poiedof small, delicate and rare white flowers,The handsome glass chandeliers were festoonedwith ropes of evergreen, studded with red andwhite roses. A few bouquets were placed on themantels and tables, which completed the floraldecorations. The other rooms, were also tastefully arranged with flowers.

THE WEPDIirO GUESTS.

A few minutes before eleven o'clock the mem-

bers of tbe Cabinet and tbelr ladles, led by Mr.and Mrs. Fish, entered the East Boom and tootposition on the left and near the platform. Thiswas accepted as tbe signal for the near approaehoCthe bridal party, and all not already there fol-

lowed into tho room. The entire company preientdid not embrace moro than one hundred and.twenty-fiv- e persons. The guests arranged them-selves In two divisions, leaving a broad avenuefor the passage of the bridal party to the plat-form on the opposite side of tbe room. It was ajoyous assembly, quiet In demeanor, easy and natural in behavior, and illumined with smiles ofdelight that revealed the hearty good wishes en-

tertained for the future happiness of tho youthfulcouple whole nuptials they were present to wit-

ness. There was no crowding or Jostling, no Im-

patience manireited. A delightful murmur ofconversation was maintained by the ladles, occa-

sionally broken by a zephyr of laughter that onlyseemed to ripple the murmuring waves and meltout with a musical echo.

THE SUIDAX. FABTT.A few minutes after tbe entrance of tbe Cabinet

Ministers, Sir Edward Thornton and laJy, (tbeonly ambassador present except the lltrald'i am-

bassador,) entered tho East Boom and took posi-

tion on the right and opposite Secretary Fish.Bev. Dr. Tiffany now mads his apparanco uponthe platform, and every voice was hushed andevery eye strained toward tbe door by which thebridal corfeoewas to enter. The Marine band,which waa stationed in a small room on tbe northside of the building, and immediately in rear ofthe East Boom, poured forth in dulcet strains thebeautiful aria, "I think of thee;" after which awedding march was given, tbe first strains ofwhleh conveyed the signal for the movement ofthe bridal party. "Now expectation sits in tbeair;" now bad arrived the supreme moment whenwe were to look Into happiness through the eyesof a young and loving couple who were on thavery eve of starting on the Journey of life to-

gether. Two young officers, one clad In the fulluniform of the United States navy, tbe other inthat or the Marine corps, stepped lightly to theplatform, took hold of white satin ribbons thatwere fastened on each side of the platform, andhitherto hidden from view among flowers thatrivaled the ribbons In purity of color, and walk-ing briskly to the door opposite, presied and heldthe two divisions of people back with this delicate barrier. Another moment and the head oftbe bridal procession crossed Into tbe East Boom,moving in military cadence to the measuredstrains of delicious agile, Jjjst came

supported by Lieutenant- - Colonel Fred. Grant,who was dreised In the full uniform of his rankIn the army, and who walked on the right of thsbridegroom. Then followed the eight brides-maidsMisses Conkllng, Frellnghuysen, Porter,Sherman, Drexel, Dent, Fish and Barnesdrensd In white, and moving graeofully forwardIn couples. President Grant, with the bride onhis left arm, followed. Then came Mrs. Grant,flanked by her two younger sons, Jene andUlyises. Following these was a small number ofthe bride's relatives. The bridegroom wore a se-

rious, determined look, as It he were strugglingto keep the agitation or the moment from beingmirrored on bis countenance. His bearingstruck me as that of a man who was about per-forming a duty from which ha dare not 'shrink,and whose life depended upon tbe exactness withwhich the duty is discharged. Miss Nellie, en-

tered with upraised head and intsat look. Thecolor bad faded from her face, but she betrayedno nervousness, gating straight before her, witheyes fixed with an Intentness that gave dramatloeffect to her tnlrte. Her step was Arm and confi-

dent, and, If you could forget herpalo face, noqueen ever went to eorOnafloa with a morequeenly air than Mill Nellli went to meet herbridegroom. The President wore his nsualstolid expression, and directed his vision to apoint about five paces to the front. Mrs. Grantlooked sad, yet there, was a loitering smile ofjoyous pride beaming from her flooded eyes. Mr.Sartorls and Frtd. Grant stopped up on tne plat-form, and stood on the right-han- d side. Thebridesmaids baited when about midway betweenthe door and the platform, the President and thebride pasting between them. When about threepaces from the platform, Mr. Sartorii steppeddown, and, advancing, met the bride and led herto the assigned place, on (he leftside of the plat- -,

form, when he surrendered her to the President,Miss Fish stepped up and stood bsslde tbe bride,the otber attendants forming: a semi-circl- e infront ofthe platform, and Mrs. Grant and her twojobs standing in rear cttheie... . ,

THE SCI5E.Daring tbe ceremony Senator Morton occupied

a chair close to and on the tight of tbe platform.Conkllng stood grandly looking on from the centre of the room, perhaps wondering tr be Is to havethe privilege of giving away his daughter In theExecutive Mansion. Cameron, mounted on thebase of one of tbe columns' in the rear, gazedsmilingly and contentedly on tho seene.

spicy odort from the magnolias and catalpas werowatted from the trees In tbe square, while theplashing water from tho fountain on the lawn, Infroat ofthe White House, made a musical soundthat was dellzhtrul. At 10 o'clock the carriages

rftearlng the bridesmaids arrived, and by a fewminutes of 11 the gueits were all there. TbeMarine band, stationed in the outer vestibule,numbering forty pieces, discoursed sweet music,and tbe East Boom presented amagnlfleent sight.Daylight was entirely excluded by means ot darkbhids hung for the purpose, and myriads of lightsfrom the chandeliers were reflected Inthe countless mirrors, and fell In brilliant brokenrays on the floral decorations, which exceededanything ever before seen In this country. Nearthe la the centre of the East Room,was a dais erected. This was covered with richcarpet. Over It was a cross-ba-r placed near thecelling; Its ugly outlines were concealed by rareand fragrant blossoms. From this depended amarriage bell, three feet In diameter and threeleet in height, composed of rose buds, tnbe roses,lilies of the valley and orange flowers, whichnodded and winked their pretty eyes In perfectrhythm with every movement in tbe room. Oneach side tbe bell'was a wreath of flowers. Intbe centre of one the Initials or the bride; in theother those ofthe groom. On either tide the daiswere two little stands covered with choice whiteflowers. Underneath this arch, and Just back ofwhere the bride and groom stood, was a taperbbronze statue, supporting a maj nlflcent tray ofthe rarest bloom. The fluted cojumnt on eithertide of tbo dais were twined around with rare

rblyssoms, and near the front was a silver salverholding pure white flowers of tbo most cxpenslrodescription, purchased In New Yofk by tbe groomfor his fair young bride. The chandeliers weregarlanded with evergreens and ijrldal blossoms,and In every corner and on every mantle theywere heaped In lavish profusion. The display oftropical plants and graceful, sti tely palms waamarvelous. In each room, on ta lies, piano andmantles, great languid-lookin- g roses droopedtheir heads and offered homage to the bride.Rtthly-colore- fuschlas hid their blushes amonzthe temier leaves of d geraniums;fragrant violets and heliotropes) exhaled theirspicy odors from remote corners.

Around the outer edge of the table wasa narrow bordering of feathery ferns, delicatebuds and n flowers of every description,while here, there and everywhere on tbe tablewere magnificent .bouquets.

OOOTVBTB AUD DXTARTUEE- -At 12 Mrs. Sartorii retired to change her dress

for the traveling costume, of which there are two,one of black silk, for the steamer, and the other,which she wore or rich mignonette silk,with flounce, and shlrrlngs of ill sf withsmaller raffles ; the polonaise of lame shade incamel's hair, richly embroidered, and .fitted hsrgraceful figure with exquisite exactness. Thehat and gloves matched this refined costume. Mr.and MravSartorls drove to the depot In the fourhorse carriage, la which was the younger brother,Ulyises; following was tho President .and Mrs.Grant, who had assumed the mourning robes thehadbeen persuaded to lay aside oa the oecasloaor the wedding ; a carriage with her brothers andaunt; and a fourth with her maid, Miss BellaJackson, who has been with Mrs. Grant for manyyears, In sunshine and. through storms, and whogoes abroad to watch over the dearly loved ohll dor the house. As the carriage with the bride andgroom drove off there were several whit slip-pers thrown after it i for" good luok. Fol-lowing the coaches was a large wagon', filledwith trunks. While the bridal party were enroute to the depot, Mr. Wlddowi rang the chime!ol the Metropolitan Methodist Church, ate gavethe "English Wedding March," "Hart Colum-bia,"' "God Save the Queen,-"'as- the "StarSpangled Banner." Though the four tunessounded each alike, his Idea doubtless was that

Mrs. Sartorls hearing them would feel reconciledto Ieavlnir Wasblna-ton- . A special Pullmanpalace car bore them away at 1:40. After leavingBaltimore this car was attached to the regularNew York train. The ear was a new one, anawas exquisitely decorated with flowers and ever.greens, and draped with the American and Eng-lish flags.
