THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: TUESDAY, APRIL 17, 1877. CHICAGO THE CITY. GENERAL NEWS. L. James Eggleston, formerly of this city and cow Superintendent of the American Express Company, Boston, is at the Palmer.
The Democratic Investigating Committee, to search out the treachery in its own ranks, failed to meet yesterday afternoon. The matter is getting too stale for further probing, apparently. Company First Regiment, met last evening and resolved to hold a reception at their armory committees were appointed to baffiance the details. evening of the 7th of necessary Most of the Deputy Collectors were engaged yeshe terday in making their annual inspection of the distilleries, rendered necessary by the approaching expiration (May 1) of the bonds under which they are running. The District Court Grand Jury yesterday devoted their attention to three or four small cases of violation of the revenue laws, and a counterfeiting case.
It is expected that the Cook County National Bank matter will come up to-day. The temperature yesterday, as observed by Manasse, optician, No. 88 Madison street (TRIRUNE Building), was at 8 a. 58 degrees; 10 a. 62; 12 65; 3 64; 8 p.
52. Barometer at 8 a. 8 p. 29.56. The members of the Board of Edncation whose terms of office expire in June are Inspectors Clark, Hoyne, Welch, Shoeninger, and Reed.
They have all done faithful service while in the Board. The new Inspectors take their seats about the 1st of July. The 'Thirteenth Ward Republican Cinb was to have held a meeting in Benz's Hall, on Lake street, near Robey, last evening, but the few who were present concluded to try it again Saturday evening at the same place. The object of the meeting is some business of a financial nature growing out of the election. Judge Bangs has not heard anything further from Washington relative to the claims of the Government on the batch'.
The qnestion of civil immunity devolves upon the construction of the opal agreement made with their counsel in December, 1875, and January, 1876, and reduced to writing last June. Jonathan Turner, of the Sagetown Distillery, is undergoing investigation at the hands of the Grand Jury. It is charged that he set up a job whereby the Government was given straw bonds in connection with the running of his business. The particalar allegation is subornation of perjury. Parker Mason and ex-Deputy Collectors Root, Hoyt, and Bridges were before the jury.
The edition of THE TRIBUNE printed last Sunday contained nearly 3,000 distinct advertisem*nts, Alling over sixty columns of the paper. There were about six pages of what are known a8 small ads, of which there were 2, 650, -and the reader can judge of the immense labor to read. set up, and properly classify over 2,500 different specimens of chirography, very few of them Spencerian, and them discounting anything that the late Mr. Greeley could do in his palmiest days. This immense number of advertisem*nts is a far better showing than the New York Herald makes, considering the immense constituency the latter paper is made the medium of advertising for.
The funeral of Mrs. Austin Doyle, wife of the Clerk of the Criminal Court, took place yesterday morning. Friends and relatives met at the house on Ontario street near State, and from there went to the Church of the Holy Name, where a requiem mass was said and a sermon preached by the Rev. Dr. McMullen.
The high appreciation and atlection entertained for this most estimable lady was shown by the immense conconrse which attended the services. After their conclusion a large number of the more intimate friends of the deceased accompanied the remains to Calvary. Among those present were the State's Attorney and other officers connected with the Criminal Court, etc. Coroner Dietzsch yeeterday held inquests upon John Asbam, a shoemaker. 65 years of age, who died suddenly of heart disease yesterday at bis residence, No.
250 Forquer street; and upon Z. G. Sherman, 35 years of age, who died of hemorrhage of the lungs at the County Hospital. Sherman was a son-in-law of a former wealthy citizen named Wilder, whose property is still one of the larger city estates. His dissolute habits soon made an outcast of him, and his family were forced to abandon him.
They are now thought to be living in Waukegan. Sunday night, Sherman was found in a partially intoxicated condition in a saloon at the corner of Twelfth and State streets, and, being seized with hemorrhage, was taken to the County Hospital by Officer Adam Fyfe. DEATH OF PROF. FREER- ACTION OF THE FACULTY OF RUSH MEDICAL COLLEGE. At a meeting of the Faculty of Rush Medical College, specially convened, April 13, the Secretarr, Prof.
Delasicie Miller, M.D.. announced the death of the President of the College, Joseph Warreal Freer, M. Professor of Physiology and Microscopic Anatomy. A committee having been appointed to express the sense of the Faculty on the occasion reported as follows: Death, the inevitable, which respects neither position nor usefulness, which regards neither hopes nor fears, but with equal step suspends the emblems of mournfix in the resorts and homes of all the families of men. has again invaded our number and removed from ur one whom we honored as the official head of our institution, esteemed as a colleague, and loved as a man.
in the full maturity of his years, whilst his faculties were unharmed by Time, and his natural force was not abated, Prot. Freer has Fielded to the inexorable dat, and has gone out from among us over to the majorSty. Commencing unusually late in life the study of medtea! setence, he lived long enough to be honorably and worthily advanced to one of the highest positions; to master its teachings to an enviable degree; to have increased by his original investigations knowledge of the truths of Nature; to have acquired the confidence and affection of thousands of pupils; to have illustrated to his life the true physician and teacher; and to crown his career by exhibition of a serenity and fortitude in the Immediate contemplation of his last great change eminently worthy of a life devoted to earnest study and noble work. Be it therefore Resolved. That we will attend the funeral of our decensed colleague as mourners with the immediate relativea, aiding them in consigning his body to the grave, commending his spirit to the God who gave it, ever retaining his memory in our hearts.
That the college building be suitable draped in mourning. That a committee be appointed to prepare an appropriate obituary notice, to be laid before the Illinois State Medical Society, and to be preserved among the archives of the College. That a copy of the foregoing preamble and resolutions be communicated to the widow of the deceased, and siso to the public and professional press. THE SHOEMAKERS. The strike of the bottomers connected with the shoe -houses of George L.
Congdon Co. and William C. Van Alstyne Co. still continues, each side stubbornly sticking to ite own rule of conduct adopted when the strike commenced last week. The manufacturers claim that the workmen have been earning good wages, those at Van Alstyne's making from $14 to $18 per week each, on an average, for sewed work, while those at Congdon's, where they do only pegged work, have been making from $12 to $15 per week.
At Van Alstyne's the strike is confined to about thirty men who had been working on ladies' shoes. Those who are working on men's shoes have not rebelled, although they do not make as much as the strikers did. The latter have been carning these wages ever since the 1st of Januarv, about which time the manufactarers promised to raise wages the 1st of June. But the latter date seemed so far ahead to the workmen, or rather to two or three men who run the trade organization. that they decided to make the manufacturers adopt new bill of prices forthwith, which the manufacturers steadily and persistently refused to do.
On two occasions last week the bottomers were ready to go to work at the old rates, and actually made two agreements to that effect. But the fanatics of the organization would not permit this, and by a system of alternate persuasion and bulldozing caused the rank and Ale to consider their action. The fanatics proved too strong, and the bottomers have gone with them, even though it costs them from $12 to $18 per they week will for hold their fun. The manufacturers say out until the end; so do the bottomers; but the former seem to have the advantage. New hands are being taken in at Van Aletyne's and Congdon's, notwithstanding the fact that the strikere do their best to persuade the new men not to work, and the manufacturers do not anticipate any great trouble or delay in filling their shops.
It may take a few days, but they believe by that time either enough new hands will have been engaged or the strikers, seeing their folly, will have returned. and everything will again go on 38 smoothly as ever. Mr. Van Alstyne said yesterday that his men had been making fully 25 per cent more than workmen of the same kind are making in the East, and that there was really no excuse for the strike. Congdon thinks the strikers bore down on him because he has no Easternmake shoes to fall back upon in an but he is rapidly filling up his shop with new men, emergency, and expects to go ahead in utter and open defiance of all the striking bottomers in creation.
The statement made Sunday, that the men at C. M. Ilenderson had struck, was incorThere is the best of feeling between the emplovers and employed, and the men say they do not dream of leaving. FOOT-BALL. The Chicago Foot- -Ball Club held a meeting at the Sherman read House from last evening, and a communication was the Secretary of the New York Athletic Club, in substance a8 follows: It was deemed advisable to invite the London Foot -Ball Club to send a team of ten men to compete with the leading American athletic clubs during the coming season.
The Club appointed a committee of two, Messrs. W. B. Curtis and Mr. Sullivan, to in consider the action to be taken on the subject.
It thought that if enough stock can be subscribed by citizens to guarantee the the matter will be an assured success. It expenses, will be a treat to the people of Chicago to be able to see these excellently-well developed Englishmen, who are very proficient in all athletic sports, and of course the Chicago cub will have extreme difficulty in beating them in any of the games. Yet it would be a case of open entries, and it Would be a wonder indeed if in Chicago some few could not be found who would give these London athletics a trial at the Olympian games. HOTEL ARRINALS.

TIFFANY. May. DECORATION DAY. FAREWELL RECEPTION LAST EVENING. The ladies of Trinity Methodist Church gave their retiring pastor, the Rev.
Dr. Tiffany, and his family, a farewell reception last evening in the church parlors. There have been many receptions in Trinity Church, at one time and another, but perhaps none were more representative, not only of Trinity but other Methodist churches in the city, and, on that account, none were more generally and thoroughly enjoyable, than the one given Dr. Tiffany last evening, prior to his removal to New York to preside over St. Paul's Methodist Church of that city.
The company began to assemble about 8 o'clock, and their numbers were soon reinforced by additions from the First, Wabash Avenue, Michigan Avenue. Park Avenue, and Grace Churches. Among those present a TRIBUNE reporter noticed the following: The Rev. and Mrs. John Atkinson, the Rev.
S. H. McChesney, Dr. Tripp, Mr. J.
B. Hobbs, Dr. and Mrs. Hill, Mr. and Sirs.
F. E. Bradley, Mr. and Mrs. JohnA.

H. Horton, the Rev. A. W. Patton, Mr.
Frank Wilson, Mr Robert Ware, Mr. Arthur Waughop, Miss Jennie Anderson, and many othere. During the early part of the evening, to the temporary interruption of a great deal of cheerful, social intercourse, Dr. Tiffany availed himself of a last opportunity to administer THE ORDINANCE OF BAPTISM, the subject being an exceedingly plump and beautiful infant. Mies Jane Kellogg Atwood.
After this the time was again given up to the usual social features on such occasions, including, of course, visit by every one present to the tables, whereon a goodly collation had been set forth. For the unqualified success of this part of the entertainment those present were greatly indebted to Mrs. E. 0. F.
Ruler, Mrs. C. G. Truesdell, Mrs. F.
E. Bradley, Mrs. Allison, Mrs. John A. Logan, Mrs.
Lazear, Mrs. John A. Thomas, Mrs. J. W.
Waughop, and the Misses Spalding, Wilson, Hanchett. Hill, and Jant. The floral decorations were quite handsome, some beautiful calla lilies presented by Miss Dollie Logan attracting particular attention and admiration. The reception was exceedingly informal in its character, and, in accordance with this spirit, there were no pretty speeches and no farewell presentations, but the members took the opportunity of quietly expressing to Dr. Tiffany and his family their regrets at being obliged to part.
The entertainment was prolonged to a reasonably late hour and was concluded to the entire satisfaction of all present. Dr. Tiffany will leave for his future charge this afternoon. The congregation has been wonderfully fortunate in securing as their pastor for the next six months the Rev. W.
F. Crafts, of New Bedford, who has recently been transferred from the Eastern to the Western Conference, and who will assume charge of Trinity on the 29th of this month. Dr. Crafts is about 34 years of age, and is highly spoken of as a most earnest, active worker in the cause, and 88 most genial, attractive gentleman. He is especially interested in the Sunday- -school work.
Dr. Tiffany's time did not really expire until next October, but, owing to his desire to locate in New York, where his family reside, -which desire was only intensifled by the recent death of his mother, and the consequent wish on his part to be near the remaining members of his family a8 soon as possible, -the congregation of Trinity consented to part with him this spring. The Eastern Conference met this month, and it WaS then decided to remove the Rev. Mr. Crafts to the Western.
The latter Conference will meet next October, when a regular appointment will be made to supply Dr. Tiffany's place, Dr. Crafts simply filling the interim. There is to be another change in Trinity Church, and this 19 no less than the substitution for the present quartette choir of a picked chorus of eighteen voices, under the direction of Mr. W.
M. Smith. This change will be made on the 1st of THE GRAND ARMY PREPARING FOR IT. A meeting of delegates from the different Posts of the G. A.
R. in the city was held last evening at the Grand Pacific to make arrangements for the proper observance of Decoration Day. Mr. A. J.
Pratt, of Ransom Post, called the meeting to order, and, on motion, WAB elected Chairman. He briefly stated the business in hand, and advised that the celebration, though not nigg*rdly in its character, should be marked by the element of simplicity. This ho considered as in keeping with the solemnity of the occasion, and as being appropriate to the condition of business. Capt. L.
F. Jacobs said that a committee from the Chicago Veteran Club had been appointed to confer with the delegates, and moved that their names be handed in. On motion, the Committee from the Union Veteran Club were invited to co-operate with the G. A. R.
Mr. A. P. Maddock asked what the duties of the members of committees would be. Gen.
J. S. Reynolds said that heretofore various Posts had been assigned to different cemeteries, and that system had worked well. It had been suggested that the programme should be varied this time, the Posts all uniting. He fuily agreed as to the advantages of simplicity in the ceremonies, but thought a definite programme should be prepared, embracing an oration, vocal and instrumental music, and speeches.
Mr. Maddock said that Col. Quirk, of the Second Regiment, had informed him that that body had resolved to have a tent at Calvary Cemetery, and celebrate the Roman Catholic service there. He supposed that thie might be interesting to the Grand Army and therefore mentioned the subject. Perhaps Post Commanders would express the views of their respective Posta as to which cemeteries they would wish to attend.
A delegate wished to know if Col. Quirk spoke officially on behalf of the Second Regiment. Mr. Maddock did not know how this was; he addressed Mr. Quirk as Colonel.
Gen. Reynolds thought it would be best for one Post to attend at Calvary in conjunction with the Second Regiment, and moved that a committee of one from each Post be appointed to designate which cemeteries the different Posts should be assigned to. The motion prevailed, and on motion the Committee was formed of the Post Commanders with a representative from the Union Veteran Club. A general invitation to the First and Second Regiments and all other military organizations, as well as the citizens generally, to participate in the ceremonies was extended on motion of Gen. Reynolds.
The Secretary was also instructed to notify the Executive Committee of the Citizens' Association of the invitation to the citizens, and to ask them to appoint a committee to meet with the Committee of the G. A. R. The Sub-Committee reported in favor of the following arrangements: G. H.
Thomas and Lyons Posts. Graceland: Whittier and Hilliard (Englewoody Posts, Oakwood; Reynolds Post, 28, Rosehill. The Committee also asked the North Side Veteran Association to join at Graceland. As to Ransom Post, they were unable to report, and the Post is left free to take in either Calvary or Roschill Cemeteries as they be able to decide among themselves. On motion may of Comrade Cutch, the Secretary was instructed to call upon the President of the Citizens' Association and solicit the assistance of that body and of citizens generally in raising the necessary funds.
It is estimated, judging on the basis of last that some $500 will be necessary to insure a fitting year, and proper celebration, and this sum there should certainly not be the slightest dificulty in procuring. A Finance Committee, consisting of one member from each Post and one from the Union Veteran Club, was appointed, and it was decided that whatever general fund should be raised it be divided between the different cemeteries pro rata. The Committee then adjourned until next time and Monday evening, same the place, and at the next meeting and the resentatives citizens of different military organizations repgenerally are expected to attend. THE DIPLOMATIC SERVICE. MR.
BRENTANO'S VIEWS. The Staats-Zeitung of yesterday had the following communication from the Hon. Lorenz Brentano: It was announced awhile ago from Washington that the President had established the rule that any officer who had done his duty for four years should be reappointed, if there were 110 reasons against it of a personal or moral nature; but that there should be a change after eight years, if an equally competent and meritorious competitor sought the position. This rule relates chiefly to the Postmasters who are nominated by the Presideat, being those who receive a salary of more than $1,000. Later, this statement was declared to be incorrect.
I can hardly believe that such a rale would be established in regard to Postmasters or other officers. It seems to me that it would be difficult to fix rules for a Civil Service in a repub- very lican government, since in practice there must be a Jarge number of exceptions. The republican basis of our form of government is on the one side opposed to the creation of a bureaucracy such as we And in monarchical States. and on the other hand it is not the interest of the republic that officers should be removed without sufficient cause. Here, as elsewhere, the truth lies midway.
In the case of officers who are elected by the people, there is an opportunity, after the expiration of their terms of ottice, where a re-election is not expressly forbidden, to decide whether the present incumbent shall be retained or another elected in his place; and, it man has done his duty, generally his re-election follows, unless political considerations are against it. From the last consideration has arisen the time-honored custom of giving President no more than two terms: and the reasons in favor of a single term are so weighty that they will sooner or later lead to a change in the provisions of the Constitution on the subject. whether the above-mentioned statement by the President is, as 3 whole, true or not, there regarding the rule alleged to have been established is one branch of the public service where it was is force, and where it snould be once restored. Thie is the diplomatic and consular service. Thomas Jefferson, who concurred in the principle that the officers should not be changed for political reasons, and who, as he himself wrote.
permitted every employe to think how and what he wanted, and who allowed his strongest if they were good men, to retain their opponents, was of the opinion that no American Minister should remain abroad longer than eight positions, The position of Minister at Paris, where Mr. years. Short was then stationed, had to be filled; and. notwithstanding his personal preference for Short, Jefferson did not renominate him, and communicated this fact to Mr. Short in letter, in which he said that after his own return after an absence of seven years he was amazed at the great changes which had taken place, and found himself alien to the feelings and sentiments of the people.
Therefore he proposed to the President to establish a rule that no Minister should be abroad longer than eight years, and President Washington gave his consent. Hence it was impossible for him to intrust the embassy to Mr. Short, who had been abroad for seventeen years. That which is said here of Ministers is natnrally true of Consuls. No American citizen should live too long in a foreign land; and the American Ambassador at Berlin, Mr.
Bancrott Davis, recognized this fact in a report which he made to the State Department a few years ago, Nevertheless, there appears recently to have been adopted. so far as the diplomatic, and especially the consular, service is concerned, a more permanent system to have been adopted than with other Federal officers, Thus Mr. Marsh has been Minister to Italy since 1861, and the Ministers to the Hawaiian Islande and Hayti have been there since Grant first went into oflice. Mr. Washburne, at Paris, like the Minister to Sweden, had the good taste, after an absence of eight years, to ask for his recall.
Among the Consuls given in the State Department register are twenty-one who have held their places for more than eight years, five for sixteen years, and one since 1848; while nineteen were appointed immediately after Grant's inauguration, and nave lived abroad since that time. Many of these Consuls are utterly denationalized, have married or gone into business abroad, and have no idea of returning to the United States. According to the regulation proposed by Jefferson, consented to by Washington, all Ministers and Consuls who have been abroad more than eight years should be called home. This would be a practical and real reform in the Civil AMUsem*nTS. HAVERLY'S.
The Oates English Opera Troupe, always popular, opened to an excellent house last night in Mme. Angot's Daughter." Not a little difficalty was experienced by the company in reaching Chicago, as they were compelled to take a special train to the city because of a break-down on the road. But, despite the fatigue of travel, the opera was well rendered, the comic elements fairly presented, and the singing good. The opera has been given so often here, and the troupe so well known, that compliments are unnecessary. Nothing of the old fire has been lost, and the patrons of Haverly's are offered a week of fan and fine music.
M'VICKER's. Notwithstanding severe indisposition, Mr. Chanfrau appeared last night in Sam, the best of his characters, and one which serves best to display his talents at advantage. There was not a very large audience, bat it was sympathetic and enthusiastic. NEW CHICAGO.
Billy Rice's new troupe started off well with: a good programme and a fair house. Some parts were extremely funny, while others were amusing from their old-time recollections. It is a bad business to offer 8 Chicago audience an old performance, for there is a strong affection for minstrelsy in the city, and Rice will find it to his advantage if he will utilize his talent in the production of novelties rather than time-honored performances. HEMAN ALLEN. By an error, the complimentary concert to Mr.
Heeman Allen was announced in THE SUNDAY TRIBUNE for the 16th inst. It will be given at Kimball's piano-rooms to-morrow evening, the 18th, with an admirable programme. THE HEGWEIN CASE. ANOTHER MAN IDENTIFIED. Yesterday forenoon Sergt.
Gahan, of the Union Stock-Yards Police, took John and Lawrence Nolan, the brothers accused of being participants in the Hegwein burglary, to the house of that much-injured party for the purpose of learning whether Mr. Hegwein could identify them or not. On arriving at the house, corner of Wentworth avenue and Forty-seventh street, the prisoners were not made known to Mr. Hegwein, and were seated among a number of other persons, but he immediately pointed out John Nolan as the man whom he saw at the foot of his bed the night of the robbery. The other, Lawrence, he could not identify.
Justice Mitchell, of the Stock- Yards, was present when the identification took place, and the prisoners were taken back to his office, and, with Eberley and Keil, the other persons alleged to have been concerned in the burglary, they were held in bonds of $2,000 each to appear Thursday morning at 9 0'ciock for examination on the charge of burgiary, the officers deeming that the penalty for that crime will be sufficient to answer the ends of justice in the event of conviction, although the crimes of attempted arson and murder might be added and indictments obtained on them all. The accused were unable to furnish bail, and were recommitted to cells in the lock-up. The Nolan brothers procured counsel, but the other two have not. A night clerk in the Rock Island House, on Sherman street, where the Nolans were stopping, appeared at the police station and stated to Justice Mitchell and the Sergeant that the brothers were in their room on the night of the burglary; he saw them, and noticed that one of them came there as late as 1 o'clock in the morning, at which time he saw the other in bed. The burglary is believed to have occarred after that hour.
The officers are inclined to the belief that the Nolans will prove an honest alibi, and think that the murderous and severe beating Mr. Hegwein received on the head from the burglars has rendered his brain a little confused, and he is therefore liable to be mistaken regarding the identity of John Nolan, who is a rougher-looking man than his brother. But of Keil and Eberley's identity Mr. Hegwein has not the slightest doubt, and the fact that a set of silver-plated tea-spoons, a pair of suspenders, and several plugs of tobacco were found in Eberley's room at Keil's boarding -house, on the corner of State and Forty-third streets, those articles being stolen from Hegwein's store, and corresponding with other similar goods therein, and known to have been undisturbed when the store was closed on the night of the burglary, points strongly to the guilt of those prisoners. NO TRACE OF THE MISSING MONEY AND JEWELEY has been discovered, and it is thought that Eberley and Keil's capture was so quickly effected after the burglary, that they did not have an divide the swag.
opportunity to Eberley is said by those who know him to have been the companion of thieves in this city, bnt the pumping process fails to budge him an iota regarding his knowledge of the robbery. Keil is not an intelligent German, and certainty not a profes sional burglar, but he is quite reticent, though he has disclaimed in emphatic terms any connection with the crime. His wife--who can scarcely speak English- at the Stock- Yards Station yesterday morning, and informed the Justice and the Sergeant that her husband and Eberley were home on the night of the robbery. She was questioned closely, but maintained her positive assertion. As an evidence of the adroit manner in which the thieves worked.
it may be stated that three windows in the rear of Megwein's store were arranged for easy opening by placing beneath the sash small pieces of coal, which raised the windows suficiently high to prevent the spring boits or fastenings in the side of the sash from sliding into their slots or holes. Mr. Hegwein said he felt the burglars lean over him and take the $400 in money from beneath his mattress, but he was powerless to move by reason of the chloroforming he received, a fact which further shows that one or more of the thieves were fully acquainted with the location of money and valuables about the house. Although still suffering from the injaries to his skull and face, Mr. Hegwein showed some improvement yesterday, and care will soon make him about as well as ever, but he is marked for life by the ugly cuts on his face and forehead.
A search warrant was issued yesterday at Mr. the Hegwein's instance, for the purpose of examining premises of Robert Blaney, a man living a short distance but north of Hegwein's, on Wentworth avenue, nothing WAS found to implicate that person in the crime. The fact that Blaney Nolans, had been in company with the a day or two before the burglary, and the former had had some difficulty with Hegwein in the course of trading, was the cause of the the warrant. Blaney is an employe at the Rock issuing of Island car-shops, and bears 3 good among his neighbors as a hard -working and honest reputation man. The officers at the Stock- are on the lookout for several known thieves who have been about there lately, and it may be that a day or two will bring some more captures.
THE COUNTY BUILDING. Contractor Sexton commenced making brick yesterday for the new Court- House. The Grand Jury yesterday disposed of fifteen cases of the lower order, and found bills in about half of them. Levy continues to neglect his business and live at the public's expense, all efforts to obtain bondsmen having so far been unavailing. The Criminal Court was not in session yesterday the death of Mrs.
Doyle. The door of the Criminal Clerk's office was hung with crape, owing to and the Sheriff, State's Attorney, and other authorities were absent attending the funeral. Sheriff Kern is busy making out his firet semiannual report. He expects that while it will show his number of. boarders has been in excess of that those of former Sheriffs, that it will also show that he has worked some needed reforms in the management of his office.
The Commissioners and Periolat were in consn1about tation the Sunday bills with to their abolish the 'County Ring." -lobbyists Springtield These gentlemen visited the city for instructions and cash, and left yesterday morning, fully equipped for another week's work. Walker brought in his first bill for extras on the Court-House yesterday. He claims $3,900 for leveling the foundation and rebuilding two piers. Whatever he is allowed will be deducted from Harms' claims for extras, however, as the work he has done was covered by his contract. The County Collector yesterday swore in a large of special deputies, each giving bond in the corps sum of $10,000, and they will at once enter upon the collection of the delinquent tax on personal property.
They go forth instructed to work levy of where taxdelinquents refuse to pay, and the gathering is to be pushed in this direction as never before. Commissioner Schmidt, in advocating the paying of a high salary for a Superintendent for the Court-House, yesterday said that, if no more than $5 a day was paid to such an official, he would steal, and the county would be worse off in the end. His remarks were received with surprise by his fellow- members, who had been toiling for years for the pittance of $5 per day, and who thought the remark was uncalled for. He did not intend to be personal, however, and does not wish his speech to be understood as an argument in favor of increasing the per diem of the members of the Board. PRACTICALLY BURSTED.
Walker has suspended work on the Court-House, 88 he promised a few days ago, unless he was advanced some money. His excuse for stopping is that he is waiting for Sexton's brick work, or, in other worde. that he is delayed by Sexton. He completed the first course of cut-stone Saturday, and was ordered to go on with the second course; and, inasmuch as Sexton is going forward with the brick-work, his excuse is very gauzy. The fact is, Mr.
Walker has no stone in the city to set, and it is not convenient for him to bring any before he gets some money from somewhere, notwithstanding his representations. The situation, then, is just as has been before stated. -no pay, no work. Without money it is impossible for him to go forward, and the time when he may reasonably expect money appears to be growing more remote every day. Withont money it is only a question of time when he will be forced to don the contract, an hour looked longingly forward to by not a few of the Commissioners.
AN APT SCHOLAK IN LIMBO. Samuel S. Chester, of Boone County, has caused his name to be entered on the Jail records, and he is now in one of its airy celle. He came to this city a year or more ago with a contempt for country schools for the purpose of ripening into a scholar, that he might return to his country home and be known for his learning. He speedily learned to part his hair in the middle.
to stay out late at night, and formed a social circle, in which were many ladies. In an evil hour he was captured by the smiles of one of these, a Miss Salina Olson, and he is now in jail because he refuses to write home to his father to send him the money to care for her child, which twelve of his peers said late Saturday night he was the father of. He is expecting the old gentleman on to see him every day, and when he comes will ask him to go on his bond, that he may return to his boarding-house. No. 199 Market street, and finish his course of studies.
He wants to be tried again, and to that end will take an appeal from the County to the Circuit Court. STRANGE LIBERALITY. That was a very liberal offer on tne part of Perio-. lat to give the County Board $100 for the use of the widows and orphans, on condition that he should have the use of the fence around the CourtHouse Square for advertising purposes. It was equally liberal on the part of the Board a few days later to give Mr.
Sexton $400 to build a plank roadway on which to haul his brick and iron for the Court-House work. These liberal things were strangely followed by a strange thing yesterday, which may mean something, -the Committee on Public Buildings reported in favor of giving Periolat's $400 to build Sexton's $400 roadway. The strange thing about the report is that it WaS made without the authority of the Committee, and, in fact, against its express order, and it would have been smuggled through had not a member who hoped to get a part of that $400 for certain charitable institution discovered the trick. If at had gone through, the scheme would have been very simple, and Periolat would have been just $100 ahead, for Sexton would have never thought of such a thing as asking him for that amount, or any part of it. And he may be ahead anyhow, for if Sexton is given $400 from any other fund he can readily transfer it, and.
appreciating the obligation that he is already under to Periolat, will not hesitate to do it. In any event there is something singular about this $400 deal all around, and if the friends of the widows in the Board do not keep a sharp lookout it is feared that very little of the amount will ever go to comfort them in their old age. THE CITY-HALL. The Comptroller yesterday redeemed $8,800 of the popular loan certificates. The police and firemen will be paid their March salaries Wednesday, probably.
The school-teachers will be paid Saturday. L. A. Babco*ck took out a permit yesterday to build a three-story and basem*nt store and dwelling, 29x60 feet, a at 835 West Lake street. Cost, $3,500.
Sunday morning the only remaining patient in the pest-house died, and now the city is without a case of small-pox and the pest-house without an occupant. The city's receipts yesterday were $2,225 in the Department, $467 from miscellaneous sources, $600 from licenses. The police are stirring up the tardy license-takers. The Police Department will either to-day or tomorrow open bids for furnishing the police force with summer hats. The bats are to be dark blue, high, round, and stiff-crowned and stiff-brimmed.
Scarlet fever was reported yesterday at Nos. 819 Cottage Grove avenue, 661 Sedgwick, 3:38 South Morgan, 8 Nebraska, 734 Noble. The death-rate starts out lightly, and the authorities hope that a continuance of pleasant weather will do much to eliminate the disease. The Committee on Markets was to have met at 2:30 yesterday afternoon in the City Clerk's ofice for the consideration of that proposed ordinance for establishing a Hide Inspector, and though several interested hide and leather dealers were present. but one Alderman turned up.
Assistant Corporation- Counsel Adams returned from Springfield last Saturday, and left for the capital again last night. He is putting in good work in behalf of the Past-Tax-Collection oill, and He reports that the bill had passed the Senate, and consequently in the interest of the municipality. had been ordered a second reading before the House. He thinks that all opposition to the bill has been removed, and that it will ultimately pass. The matter of gas is being mildly agitated in the minds of some of the officials.
The time for the setting of a new price upon the illuminating fluid --May 1-is fast approaching, and several of the Aldermen are afraid that. unless the city can make some amicable agreement between Messrs. Billings and Watkins before that date, the old price will continue in vogue; and in case Judge Drummond's decision, if given at all, be in favor of the gas concerns, that the city will be under the thumbs of those companies until the time of the expiration of the existing contracts. The second test of the West Side pumpingworks engines will commence at 9 o'clock this morning, under the direction and control of Messrs. Lane, of Milwaukee: Haswell.
of Louisville, and Warrington, of this city, -all of whom were on the Committee who made the first test of the machines. Mr. Quintard, the chief representative of the firm which built the engines, is in the city to watch his interests. The engines are in excellent condition, and everything about the works and liable to be used In the test is in first-rate order. The machinery has been very carefully and critically handled in the past few weeks.
and note taken of all points wherein improvement might be made, so that now it is thought that they can be operated to give the maximum effect. The success of the test confidently expected by one party interested, and is City Engineer Chesbrough says that complete success would not astonish him much. The Registrar of Statistice of the ITealth Department reports that there were 158 deaths last week in the city. an increase of 15 over the previous week, and of 32 over the corresponding week in 1876. There were 86 males and 72 females: 51 married and 107 single; 4 colored.

CRIMINAL. John Carroll, for the larceny of $17 worth of clothes from John Keefe, was locked up at the West Madison Street Station last night. The residence of William Brady, No.
964 Dearborn street. was entered by burglars at an early hour yesterday morning and about $100 worth of clothing and jewelry taken away. Justice Foote yesterday disposed of the following: George Koester, burglary, $1,000 bonds to April 19; John Sternberger, $1,000 to April 26 for receiving stolen property, knowing it to be such. Eliza Dennis and Louisa Williams, inmates of ranch at No. 463 Clark street, are locked up at the Armory charged with beating Pat Bartlett, of Lemont, out of $6.
A saloon -keeper named William Anson is also locked up on the same case. William Emmett, manager of the Academy of Music, vainly imagines himself a pugilist, and is therefore always getting into trouble. Yesterday he was arrested upon a warrant for assault sworn out by James A. Kelly, one of the performers at the theatre. A servant-girl named Nellie Smith was arrested yesterday by Detectives Ryan and Osterman charged with the larceny of a velvet cloak and jewelry valued in all at about $200 from her migtress, Mrs.
Jewett, of No. 896 Indiana avenue. The property has not yet been recovered. A. W.
Wells, of No. 795 Carroll avenue, yesterday proceeded to make a levy upon Samuel Bliss' wholesale grocery, No. 37 Wabash avenue. Bliss and two of his employee, E. Stuhlfier and E.
N. Goodwillie, resisted, and were arrested therefor on warrants for riot by Officer Fitch Taylor, of the West Madison Street Station. Mrs. L. C.
Simmons was recently afrested by Detective Simmons, upon suspicion of having stolen a watch and chain from Mre. Anderson'8 laundry on Halsted street. She was before Justice Wallace yesterday and had the case continued to Saturday, but thus far there is nothing to inplicate her in the theft. The real thief will undoubtedly soon be caught. Oflicer P.
Gavin yesterday discovered a youngster named Henry Meeler in the act of picking a lady's pocket on the circus grounds, and while making the arrest was set upon and badly beaten by the boy's companions, receiving one serious scalp wound on the back of the head. A negro who attempted to aid the officer was also badly beaten. Mesier was finally locked up at the Armory. James Filkins, a young man high up in criminal fame, was yesterday arrested by Detective Malorey in the Cottage Grove District, and turned over to Detective Stewart, who wanted Filkins, upon suspicion, for the Josie Putnam robbery on Wabash avenue some weeks ago. But Josie failed to identify Jimmie as one of the robbers, and hence the charge has been changed to vagrancy under the new State law.
Wat" McLain, brother of Constable McLain, is a masher. When a Constable presented him yesterday with a warrant calling for his arrest for riot, he told the Constable to go where corn is $2 a bushel. The Constable was afraid to tackle him, and rushed back to Justice Foote's office and procured additional warrants for threats and resistance, got some handcuffs and shackles, and another Constable, and went out on the war-path. He is there yet. A shabby-genteel named Harry Burnett was recently arrested in Detroit for having in his possession and trying to dispose of a picture, -Constant Meyer's Sister of Charity." The picture was on exhibition at the last Exposition, and then was taken charge of by Mr.
Keitz, a well-known picture dealer in this city. By him it was placed on exhibition in a Dearborn street tailor shop, and while there it was stolen. The proprietor, represented by O. B. Smith, was so delighted at regaining the painting uninjured that he was easily persuaded by Burnett's friends, who are quite respectable, not to prosecute.
Justice Summerfield yesterday morning held the following: Rudolph Schoesinger, forging checks on departments in Mandell Bros. dry -goods store, in which he was a clerk, and stealing the goods so obtained, $500 to the Criminal Court; Peter Oleson, larceny of a cheese from J. L. Hack, of No. 61 South Water street, $300 to the Criminal Court: J.
B. Montgomery, larceny of letters and other mail from street mail -boxes, $1,000 to the Criminal Court: Mary Burne, drunk, thirty days the House of Correction; Ida King, Maggie Daley, and Carrie Young, drunken vagrants, $100 each; Waterford Jack" and Annie 'Tucker, street-walkers, $10 each; eleven others, $5 each: Mary Gleason, keeping house of ill -fame, $100 fine; six inmates, $50 each: Charles Schilling and Stephen S. Huse, larceny of horses, $1,000 to the 18th; Annie Peterson. Bell, Dawson. and Eliza Churchill, vagrants.
850 each; Frank Jones, picking the pocket of Mrs. A. E. Scott, of Evanston, $400 to the Criminal Court: John Bevan, unlicensed second- hand dealer, charged with receiving property stolen from Mrs. A.
W. Robinson's house on Fourth avenue. $600 to the 17th; Delia Hickman, same case, 8300 to the 17th. Justice Scully held J. Wesley in $300 to the Criminal Court for larceny from John Quinn, of No.
22 Green street; Sarah O'Brien, disorderly, $50; James Fisk and Emma Skelly, vagrants, $20 or three months each. ATTEMPTED BURGLARY. Thieves are infesting the Sothern suburbs of the city, particularly Hyde Park and Union Stock Yarda, and, unless additional police aid is rendered, the residents of these places must suomit to the plundering process as gracefuily as possible. The bold burglary and robbery at Hegwein's store, on Wentworth avenue, is followed by a similar attempt to rob the grocery store of N. Stone, at the corner of Indiana and Egan avenues.
The latter thoroughfare is the dividing line between the city and Hyde Park, and if a city policeman gets around his four-square-mile beat once a night he does well, and that is all the protection the people have. The lone and solitary patrolman of Hyde Park is never heard of in that quiet neighborhood, and burglars can do their work and brook no interference from citizens. Four ruffians were observed Sunday midnight at Mr. Stone's store-windows by two servant-girls employed in the house of Mr. Bender, who lives close by, on Indiana avenue, and they were endeavoring to effect an entrance.
When the young women came near them, as they had to do in passing, one of the fellows watched them, and they ran into the house and informed Mr. Bender of what they had seen. That gentleman procured a revolver, and, going to his front door, fired two shots in the air for the purpose of scaring the thieves oft. The reports of the pistol had the desired effect, the burglars scampering off withont accomplishing their design. Mr.
Stone and family were sleeping in the upper part of the house at the time, but were not awakened by the noise. The thieves also tried the doors of Adam Cope, a butcher, whose shop adjoins Mr. have Stone's store. Several other attempts at robbery been made in the vicinity above mentioned, and better police protection is needed there. THIS MEANS BUSINESS.

If at the expiration of that time the tire does not spread beyond the room the person accepting this invitation is to pay for all damage done and for the use of the room. If the fire does extend beyond the room (I claim that it will not) there shall be no charge for damage done. The test can take place on the lat of June. If the invitation is not accepted with by that time I propose, the consent of the Underwriters of Chicano, to make the test myself, believing that the result would he the eame as on a former occasion, when a fire burned for nine hours in one of the rooms, and did less than $100 damage.

The wedding took in the Jewish Synagogue, place and was a very brilliant affair. This was the second time the Jewish marriage ceremony was ever performed in public here, and an immense crowd was present to witness it two or three times as many a8 could gain access to the church.
