Eu;w_to Improve the Sanitary q«:ndi-: tion of the North Branch. A meeting of the Common Council was held’ yesterdsy evening, Ald. Daggy in the chair. Present: Ald.

RACING OF OMNIBUSES. - The following communication from the Mayor wag read : ) % GEvTLEMEN: I respectfully recommend the pass- oge of an ordinance herewith submitted, being intend-. ed 35 un amendment to Section 5, of Chapter 47, of the revised ordinances entitled. * vebicles,” The Polica Department oxperience great diffculty in xepressing. Tucingand fast driving of street omnibuses belonging to rival lines, and preventing collisions with other vebicles, resulting from such racing, thereby endan- gering life and dsmaging property. The police force s g0 emull that oficers enough cannot be spured to station along tha strects and svenues 20 see all violations of the ordinance daily perpe- trated by 'bus drivers, And when the drivers aro complained of, arrested, and prosecuted, the proprie- Tors of the lincs are in the habit of coming fo their rescue, paying the fines imposod, giving bail for ap- Dearance, appealing the suits, casting the blame on their rivals, and in other ways endeavoring to_screen and prevent the punishment of the guilty drivers, who, thus encouraged nnd protected by thelr em- plosers, t in their violations of the law. Thus all sense of responsibility on the part of the driver is destroyed, as they have little to- fexr 0 tleng as the ‘propristors of the lines keap up their epiteful rivlry ‘with each other, and defend their men in racing and Jockeying performences. The existing ordinance on the subject of *vehicles”. does not Tequire drivers of _omnibns lines to out license ‘perimits to ply their occupatlon, and hence thers is o record of them in the City ‘Clerk's office, and no revocation of license can touch any ome, Do matter bow often hie may violato the ordinince of Jiow aggra- vated may bo his offence, By tbe adoption of the amendment, allthe drivers of omnibuses will be reg- istered and licensed, and the neme of each can be as- certained from the number of his ’bus, and, when Cound guilty by the Police Magistrate of violations of the ordinance forbidding racing on the streets, his li- censo tony be revoked, which 1S -a_punishment that is employers cannot prevent. He will placed on his good behavior, and if he values his right to drive an omnibas in Chicago, he will feel constrained to obey the ordinanco aguinst racing, fust driving, and reckless collisions with private vehicles having weaker wheels, Sometimesa driver is now discharged for overdoing his permission to race or collide, where- upon he 18 taken into the service of the rival line, snd gratifies his revenge on his last employer, at the same time that he signalizes his zealfor (honew, und, by practicing vexatious annoyances, and, also, infractlons of the ordinance. I am confident tliat if the smend- ‘ment herewith submitted be passed there will be few complaints thereafter of violations of the ordinance regulating omnibus driving. Tbe license fes proposed to be paased is hardly suficient to defray the costof registration, making transfers, and issuing licenses. J. Meny, Mayor. Ald. Thompson moved to waive the engross- ment and pass the ordinance. The motion was not agreed to, there not being enough members present, and the ordinance was teferred to the Clerk for engrossment. MORE FIBE ENGINES. * Ald. Holden offered the following, which was adopted : ORDEEED, That the Board of Police and Fire Com- missioners be, and they are hereby, requested to select a suitable lot for 8 fire-cogine and hose-cart in the dis- tric bounded s follows, to wit: Halsted street on the east, Randolph street on the north, Adams street on the Bouth, and Centre avenus on the weat. & FETITIONS. .. The following petitions were presented and Feferred: To change the name of Gilpin strect, to Yernon Park place; for a water-pipe on Bud- dan street, from Thirtieth to Thirty-first, and on Tones street; for sidewalk on Mendell strect. . WATEB WORES LOT. The Committee on Fire and Police, to whom was referred -the ordinance submitted by the Board of Public Works, anthorizing the purchase of ‘agitefor thenew pumping-works, and an amendment of-Ald. Daggy, reported them back, with the recommendation that the ordinanca be passed as submitted. The matter was laid over, and made the spe- cial order for next Mondsg. i ¥ & report of . the same Committee, relative to the lot for the fire-engine at Nickersonville, was aid over. 3 E . Y. The ordinsnce_ smending the revieed ordi- aances, inregard tothe appointment of City Waigbemegi weighing hay, etc., was taken up and paes ‘The engrossed ordinance establishing the West Bide Haymsrket on Sebor and Desplainesstreets, was called up and passed. The ‘ordinance establishing ths South Side Haymarket on Trwenty-third street, between ‘Wentworth avenue and Arnold streei, WaB-re- ferred to the Clerk for engrossment. s THE CHICAGO & PACIFIC TOAD. Ald. McGrathstated that the Chicago & Pacific Railway had that day tried to lay tracks in a street where the right of way had not been given them, and that but for the prompt in- terference of the police, blood would have been ehed. The or co was passed 88 it rend, at the suggestion of the company. The two men whose land the Company was ing to take were willing to submit the question of theprice of the land to aebitration. The Company refased to do_that, and finally came ap with several hundred men to lsy down the track, and had an engine fixed up to run over it. Nor did he be&\fig the ‘g%n.nmlll :t&uld give th: Tight of way till the rosd bo 6 property of t'hgege men. Tho Rolling Wil ‘workmen “had turped out and !put o stop to any track-laying. He offered the following : i Resolved, That (!:e Board :{hl'og&e be, ?%n::&hflcgm.fie ereby.requested to prevent the Chicago - ?ux;béamm! lmmpo'utrncfl.ng Blngmingdale Toad, Detween Coventry strect and Elston avente, with their | railroad tracks until such time as they obtaln the right ‘of way from thie Common Council. The company insisted at the time they had & richt, snd the officer in chrge of the men hed Jodged a complaint againet the BSergeant, who hmig come up with the go].ice force to stop war. They had come up with the rails spikedin sec- tions, ready for putting down. Ald. Xnickerbbcker moved to refer the resolu- tion to the Commitiee on Railroads. He did not think i# within the province of the Council to interfere. If these men were injured, they had {heir remedy under the Iaw. 5 Ald. Clark stated that the man who owned the 1and not only wanted his damages, butthe value of his entire property, and he was of the Gpinion that perhsps Ald. MeGrath had a” private quar- el with'the Tailrosd company, Wl was the secret of the whole thing. , 'Ald. McGrath denied it, and stated he had no reason for fighting the railroad company. As for Ald. mui, 1ie was in the employ of the railway compawy, and was hereafter fo be an agent at one of their stations. : "Ald. Clark stated that that was all untrue. Ald. Bond said that the Council ought, if it appeared that a railroad “was tpking a street or 1and to which it was not entitled, andif a riot ‘might result therefrom, to take immediate steps to prevent it. -The road, if it wiskied to get the 1and, had a legal way of doing it. Ald. Schaffner offered an amendment, to in- gert the word ‘‘directed,” instead of “‘re- quested.” 3 'Ald. MoGrath accepted it. The resolution was adopted. The Commissioner of *Taxes submitted the following :* r bz GexTrEaes: The Assessorsof the several Divisions of the City of Chicago having completed their assess- ments, and retiired the same to the Commissioner of Taxes, and the Board of Equalization having been in fcesion for twenty consecutive business days to hesr objoctions thereto, and to equslize the same as reguir- d by Inw, I hereby return the same for the purpose of levying the annual tax for the year 18722 BEAT, ESTATE, * possibly’ 229,500 ’Ilégzmim 29,111,270 lown their |. 21;_1 i ‘yec':‘r mi o and. u;e Hflr::{ se he;"egg é” i Tor e eéveral {urposes hereinsfler rpecified, to-wit: Tvo iR ana sevenfy-seven oné-hundredths of 5 mill ‘atingent expenses of the 3 vided for’; one mill and twenty= four.oné hundredths of amill t0 defrnythe expenses of. tightiné; The stroets of eaid city ; one mill and forty- seven one-hundredihs of s mill on the dollar for tbe Police expenees of said city ; onc mill nnd el¥ty-seven one-hundredtbs on the dollar to meet the_expenses of +purchasing ground for echool houses, and building and ‘repairing schoclhouses, and supporting and maintain- ~ing echools ; Afty-Eve one-hundredths of 3 mill on the dollar to provide n sinking fund for the-liquidation of the sewerage dnd river improvement debt, and to maintain the sewerags works, tnd keep the same in re~ aiT; eighty-nine one-hundredths of a mill on the dol- ot 10 defrny. the expenses of cleaning and repairing the streets and alleys of sald city ; one mill and 81t 1ine one hundrédths of a mill on the‘dollar for perm: ment improvements; one-mill and fifty-nine hun: dredths of omill on the dollar to pay monéys borrowed | pursuantto Section 34, Chapter 5, of the act to reduca {le charter, efc, to provide for éxpenses to e incurred in making improvements of neceaeity caused by causalties happening after thoannual Appro- priation bill of the municipal year 1871 was passed, and to pay judgments recovered against tho city, an paid during said year; one mill o the dollar s o ‘water-fund tax for the extension of water mains of pipes of said city, and tho maintenance of the Water Worka of said city ; ope mill on the dollar as o sewerago fund tax, for the extension and laying of sewersdn | said city apd -the maintenance of such scwers ; ono mill on ‘the” dollar to provide & einking fund for the liquidation of the general bonded debt of city ; three- hundredths of one on the dollar for o sieking fund o poy at maturity school bonds, authorlzed by Sec, 5, Chap. 7 of the amend- ments to fhe city charter, approved March 9, 1867, and for the payment of such bonds o8 may Tiave been previously issued for schools or school pur- poses; twenty one-hundredths of o mill on the dollar 83 8 Library Fund tax, for the purpose of establishing and maistaining a Public Library and Reading Room for the use and benefit of the inhabitants of said city, be and the same are hereby respectively levied and assessed upon all taxable real and personsl estate in the City of Chicago nccording to the asseased valua thereof for the municipal year 1672 aforesaid. . - Sec. 2.

GENTLEMEN: Bya resolution introduced in Coun- cil by Alderman Schaffner, and referred to the Board, &0 examination was direcfed to bo made into the sani tary condition of“the North Branch of the Chicago River with o view of ascertaining the practicability of cleansing the same by a system of artesian wells loca- ted on the lines of sewers for the further purpose of cleansing them. The Board sre fully aware of the need of adopting some means for the thorough puri- fication of this portion of the river as 500 13 the means to accomplish it can be provided. The matter has- been- under frequent ~discussion by them since their organization 1861, and hos ‘been referred to in almost all of their annual roports, and hua also been the subject of soveral special reports, About ten years 2go an investigation was made by the Board as tothe best way of disposing of the filthy accu- mulations in the river, and in their snnual report of April, 1863 the. plan, of 'a cavered squeduct, 12 feet in dismoter, from the river, with steam power to produce a current, was recommended, Varions plans have been presented to the Board from timo to time, none of which seemed fo be practicable, All thé informn- tion which the Board have sinco been. ableto gain upon this subject confirm them in the opinion that the mothod herein suggested is the most available and the surest in its results of any yet suggested. During the winter of-1855, » Commission was sp- pointed by the Common Councll, Gonsisting ot Mayor Bberman, Willam' Gooding, R, B, Mason, John Van Nortwick, E. B. Talcott, and E. 8, Chesbrough, to recommend 3 plan for Ccleansing the river, After carefully considering the importance of the questions involyed, and after mature deliberafion, on the 6th'of 1863, ommission_mado 3 report to_the Councll covering this matter. In relation o the Nartk Branch, they 8sy: . While we consider the proposed ‘canal from the lake to the river, nlong or nedr Fulle- ton avenue, the best plan to recommend for perma- nently clesnsing it, if the discharge of filth must be suffered togoom, sa heretofors, we be- lievo it is both the right and duty of the city to prevent all such discharges. This would be by far " YESTERDAY’S' FIRES. .I),estrl;ction of the West Side Onibusm ¢ Barn and Fifty Horses, The Fire Believed to Have Been the Work of an Incendiary==The Loss §28,000. Tho twenty-second alarm of firé since the st of the month was sounded shortly after 6 o'¢lock last evening from Box 294, situated at the corner of Wood and West Madison streets. It was caused by the bursting out of flames in the hay- loft of the large frame. barn of .the West Side Omnibus Company, Nos. 644, 646, and 648 Mad- ‘ison street, near the corner of Paulina. The building was 80x105 feet, two stories in height, end was constructed of dry, old timbers, that rapidly melted in the fire. It was'entirely .con- sumed, together with its contents, which were as followa: 50 horses, 2 sleighs, 1 omnibus, 1 buggy, 20 sets of harncss, 5 tons of hay, and $500 worth of other feed. The building was valued st $4,500, the horses at 86,000, the harness at $1,000, the ommibus ab $1,500, tho sleighs at $200, and the buggy ab $100. The fire spread with such rapidity that the'men in charge of the barn were unable, with safety to themselves, to save any of the poor dumb brutes stabled in tho basement. By the time tho engines got fairly to workthe barn was . almost entirely destroyed, snd the flames had communicated to the buildings on eiuher side of it. "'That adjoining on the enst, Nos. 640 and 642, was burned to the ground. Noneof itscon- tents were saved.' It was 2 three-story frame building, ovned by Abrahem Radeliffe, and oc- cupied by him ot the ground floor 1s & gracery store and meat market. He resided on the sec- ond floor of No. 640; and the rest of the building was used 28 & boarding house by Mrs, Edwards. The latter lost 31,200 on farniture; no insur- ance. The losses of hor boarders aggrogato about £500 ; no insurance. Mr. Radcliffe esiimates his loss on building and: outhouses at 87,000, and. hig .loss -on stock at $4,000; insurance, $2,000. The building was uninsured. The fol- lowing buildifigs were destroyed on the west 8ide of the Omnibds Company’s barn : No. 630, one-story, frame, owned and occupied by Daly & Doyle as n blacksmith shop ; loss, $800; no in- surance. No. 652, framae barn, 25x80. feat, re- cently purchased by,the Omnibus Company for $1,000; no insurance. Three horsos were res- d from this building ; there was nothing else init.” ‘No. 660, two-story frame, owned and oo- ‘cupied by B."d, Cass as 2 blackémith shop; loss on building and stock, £500 ;‘no insurance. The residence of P: Brannock, at the corner of ifon- reand Paulina stroets, was damaged to the extent of about $100; fullyinsured. . "The total insurance .on the building and stock of the Omnibus Company wzs placed by Arthur Ducat's Agency in the following companies: Home, of New York.. Gitizens', of New.Yor] ‘Howard, of New York . Total... 99,000 Of this, £2,500 in_the Home was upon 25 horses, each horse being insured for $100; and £2,600 upoa .the buildix;fi, The stages wers in- suréd for $4,000, equally divided between the Citizens’ and Howard. There are several reasons for believing that the fire was kindled by an incendiary. The sud- dermess with which it burst out 1n several places «at once lends the proprietors to strongly suspect tho simplest, cheapest, and_quickest way of purifying that brauchin fact, the only way we can think of to obtain immediato 28 well 8 permanent relief.” After giving an estimate of the proposed cost of a canal mear Fullerton avenue, and its mnintenance, they sayz- «We belleve the true policy of the city i to ‘prevent all nuisances, as far as_possible, from being imade, and then the unavoidabls ones will be compars~ tively easy to remedy. Tho- proposed camal would Tobably -encourdge’ and_increase to 3 very groat ex- ent filthy discharges nto it anid_the river from estab- lishments that would-be most - probably nuisances of themselves to their neighborhoods.” Tor temporary rellef, tho Board recommend that stringent measures taken by the city to proven the discharge of all filthy and unwholesome Tmatter nto the river, and for permanent relief, that 2 covered aqueduct be constructed from the river {o the lake in the vicinity of Fullerton avenue, with the necessary steam power to create s current, 38 800n a3 tho city can providefunds for thet purpose, . ¢ The Board conclude by calling attention to am tw:omgmymg report, made Mr. Chos- ‘brough, who concurs in_their views. The report was referred to the Committee- on ‘Wharves and Public Grounds. oo OPENING FRANELIN STREET. Inreply toaresolution, the Boardreported that the delay in opening Llin street to Adams, | wag'due to the fact that the assessment, to the, amount of $38,870.12, has been contested. The smount paid has been used in opening the strect to Monroe. The Board hasno authority to oc-- cupy cgpdemned property till it has the money to pay for it with, go they cannot say when the work will be finished. The matter was referred to the Committee on Streets and Alleys, 8. D. The Board also submitted ordinances for pave ing Kinzie street from State to_Wells, and nu- merous prdinances for sidewalk, nearly all of ‘which have been buils, for private drains, and a few lamp-posts, all of which were paased.

Alderman Tracy offered another amendment, requiring the roads to'erect a passenger -depob at the corner of Halsted street and Egan av- enue. It was lost. b Ald. Stone moved to amend by striking-out the words Decatur & State Line and Chicago & Tilinois Biver, and inserting & section declating the Csnads~Southern should allow.any two other companies not now entering «she city.to come in upon its' track—one of these roeds, he understood, intended to sell out their rightif granted.

The amendment to the amendment was lost; yens, 8; nays, 19. Tho amendment was lost—yess, 10; nays, 15. Ald. Schmitz offered an amendment practically taking from the companies the power to use any street. - 1t was lost—yeas, 8; nays, 19, A furthec amendment was offered tbat the roads should not have the right to occupy any part of the sidewalks on Stewart avenue. The amendment was not adopted—yeas, 14; nays, 14.

The livery sta- bles have stopped business. Every :horgs .at- | tached to O'Brien's circus, which came here from Canada yesterdav, is sicks that some of their enemies took this means of i:fimni their feelings of revengo. .Some ivers who were recently discharged from the oompany's service are suspected of the crime, as a fow of thom were obscrved hanging about the ‘barn a few deys ago. 1t was expected by every onein the vast crowd of spectators that tho fire could not be prevented from dovastating the entire square, if mot tha eatér portion of ncmt‘:fi;mma &aquares; but the arshals, with the smoll force of cngines at :their command, kept it from spreading, and ex- tinguished it in about two hours, Thero should have been more steamers on the ground than there were. Tho Marshals claim that a second alarm waa turned in, but that the opentnr 8t the fire alarm office did not respond. The fact about this is that the private signal was not given to tho operator, and without it he is not permitted to give a sccond alarm. The fault lies with the Marshals or-their messenger. It was o fortunste circumstance for the street- cn‘r,eompm;g end the travelling public glike that a switch had recently been laid down dén West Madison street, just above Ashland avenue. -Had it not bgen for this convenience, strect-car travel would have been effectuslly stopped for soms hours. 'As it was, the car8 poing west ‘managed to Bwitch off and tako the passengers edst again.. To say that they were crowded would not convey any idea of the multitude who endeavdred: to'hang on-to the yehicles. The closed oars were utterly incapable of holding aoother soul, , Passengers were sitting in the’ window recesses, their backs bent nearly double, and their feet gracefully dangling on the ontiilde of the car. The.West Side atages were running, and were proportionately laden, for nearly an hour after the last building fell. The rear step wes Jonded until it touched theground.

Hooley was st the Briggs House in this city, with his wife, and all his personal paraphernalia, including costly jewels and valaaple wardrobes, expecting to take the morning tfain for New Yorlk.

But _ his spirit wes ,not broken, and, with gallant courage, he wentto work to repair the ravagesof the fire. How well b9 succeeded was apparent last ovening to those who visited his besutiful theatro on the occasion of its opening. It was brilliant inevery respect. The audience was composed of our best citizens. They went to honor and encourage the man who had faith in them and their city. There was not standing room. The building was cosy and com- fortable, elegant, even luxurious, in its appoint- ments. Handsome gasoliers illuminated the scene. Elogantly affirod women snd “corre- spondingly arrayed men waited for the rising of the curtsin. e have not space to-day to enter into an elaborate criticism of the performance. The'Abbott-Kiralfy troupe had possession of the stage. Pantomime was the programme. It was airly presentod. There were the usual gestures and tumbling and knocking down,—perhaps too much of the Intter exercise,—snd brilliant dancing and_more than average singing, and sver{!hing decent and in order. e Jee Brothers played on their peculiar pisno of stony formation with really wonderful effect. Mad- emoigelles Elise and Marie Gratz gave their Tyrolean eccentricities in =ong to the gratifica- tion of the nudience, and later in the programme & cot duet, the broadest part of thoperformanco, and the only part fo which the dish coul object. The scenery was sdmirable, especially® 80 the first scene and the illuminated garden, in which the grand Mardi Gras divertisse- ment took’ place. The artists did themaolves credit in these cenes, and extended to the pub- .1ié promise of fine prodyctions .in tbe “future. 2r. Hooley was surronnded by a host of friends Ipst ovepidg. DIx.

Mr, Fields is a woll-preserved gentlemen, -of 41000 presends, with a kindly face; and & peir of beaming eyes. His delivery is occaslonally rapid, and once in a while erithusiastic. Thers was nothing profotind or wearisome in whit Ho othéra of “the id, He gave 4 large quintity of good .advice in a pleasant ~ way, and jt is o misfortune that people are not in the habit of folloiving the uuggastians of Mr. Ficlds and others. But even Solomon.is ignored by many. Mr. Fields told how good a thing it was to have couvictions—right convictions of course—and to stand by them to the last ; how industry and perseverance were their own re- ward, and cited instances of grest men’who mada their "*lives sublime,” and so" forth. - The enervating influenco of modern luxury was de- plored, and the advissbility of béing carnest and* enthusjastic in the worlc of life was inoulcated, ‘The lecturer wis well received by #n audiencd that was well entertaitied: - _ “Thisevening Mr: Fielda léctures on Tennyson in the Union Parlk Congregational Church.

The centre aielo of the parquet has also been glozed and e pnssage opened on -sither side, an alteration which adds to the appearance of the auditorium, and _conduces to tis general con- venience, The first bill upon the programme of the woek is “An Alarming Sacrifice,” which pasaed off lnst ovening_pleasantly. The princls 21 attraction is “ The Prima Donnaof a Night,” flanbach's first opers, and ono of his brightest, certninly, a8 it is now produced ‘at Mr. on’s Theatre: The acting of Mrs. Oates has all its sparklo and abandon, and she is well stupported by Messrs.

MYERS' OPERA HOUSE. An’ excellent bill was presented st Myers' minstrel thoatre last evening, most of which, was now, and all of which was highly entertain- ing. Besides & fine concert of- vocal musio, in- tersporsed with the funniest of the jokes of. Arlington and Cotton, there were the new acts, “The Fellow that Looks Like Me,” ‘* Vinogar | Bitters," Feats of Magic,” * The Hottentots" and varlous miscellaneous ballads, dauces, &o., all up to the usual standard of excellence. ACADEMY OF MUSIC. The excellent reputation which preceded the first appearance of Mrs. Chanfreuin Chicago was attested by the attondance of & large and fine looking auditory at the Academy of Music last evening. For once the dramatic avani courrier brought a truthful mossage. The ladyis certainly well worthy of the high position she bas attained in Enstorn thestricals, for, a8 a lady and sn mctress, thore have been fow in Chicago who have possessed stronger claima to public admirstion and popularity. The snnouncement that she would make her initial entree in & new version of ‘‘ East Liyane” was. not calculated to croate anticipations of particn- larly an enjoysble treat,-nnd it must be owned that she took many chances in making the gelec- tion, for “East Lynne” has been wellnigh played to death, and it was difficult to believe that anything good might be tortured out of its hacknoyed sitnations.:: Therefore, it should bo noted 88 & curious fact, that Mrs. Chanfrau’s version of the play is 'a downright .suc- cess. It differs utterly from tho other, and it differs vastly for the better, The elements .of harrowing coarseness.in the old version aro wholly eliminated, and in their place the adapter has embodied a text really elegant in its literary excellence, together with § group- ing of incidents so unlike those in the originel s to claim for the dramé a distinctive title. A tone of delicacy and refinement tekes the place of the unwholesome sentiment upon which the old pley i based, assisted by the almost total ‘banishment of ZLevison from the plot, and cul- minating in the vindication of Lady Isabel's in- nocence ‘of crime or dishonor. The *de- nouement; though equally sad, is more satisfac- tory and more naturally reached, as, previous to the: death, it includea the recognition, by the children and husband, of ‘the suffering woman's arity of life. - Tho performance was extremely engthy,- owing to the diendvantages under which 1¢ was given—chiefly the sudden resigna- tion of Mr.Wilgon, to whom the important part ot Dill hod been sasigned. It wes hastily as- sumed by.Mr. Tayloure, the author of the play, and quite creditably rendored, though the gen- tleman lays mno claims to proficiency a8 . an sctor. Of ihe cast in gen- eral much in commendation cannot be said, _That Maynard should be given the role of Archibald Carlyle seems quite unaccountable, in view of the fact that_the company embraces an actor so much better gualified, not to say more entitled, to assume it. The part wns neither suitably dressed nor acted. Miss Waite, a8 Bar- bara Hare, and Miss Cappel, e Cornelia, were both_excellent. Concerning Mrs. Chanfrau's rendition, we have only the iimeto say that, 28 .a Specimen of - emotional acting, it wag a model of force and naturalness. It happens, happily, that the = character i8 more ay-like than that which we have been accustomed to in the leading role of * East Lynne,” for, with her genuine' dramatic power nd highly cultivated act, and in addition to.s beautiful face and superb stage presence, eho allies & graco and refinement which must be native, for have we not seen actresses,~far be- yond her years'and experience, who lack those shining qualities in some dogres? Ko detail of excellence is - sacrificed. It is . mot merely that she s fair’ - of foco and form, and graceful and re- fined. Her reading is as fanltless as her features, and her interpretation of character no less admirable. - With a correction of the many defects which, unfortunately, existed in Iast night's production of the play—the scenic appointments and- stage-setting of which were extremely rich and elaborate—Mrs. Chanfrau's “East Lynne " will be found a treat indeed. Be- fore she leaves we are to see her in “Dora™ and “Christie Johnstone,” in which her high repu- tation at the East have been mainly acquired. MISCELLANEOUS CITY ITEMS. An old man named Joschim Abt, residing at No. 224 Second street, died suddenly yesterday afternoon from the effects of an overdoss of miserable whiskey. He was sddicted to intoxi- cation for -several years, and it seems that his relatives kave boen expecting his death daily. They do not mourn his ead very bitterly. A boy named Thomas Burk, aged 10 yeers, residing at No. 72 West Indiann street, was knocked down by a horse, yesterday forenoon, while playing.with some companions at the cor- ner of Sangamon and Fourth streots. He wasnot very seriously injured. It is_ssid that the acci- dent might not have occured if Charles Gulla- chian, the man who was, leading the horec, had devoted his entire attention to that business. At 40'olock yesterday afternoon, G. Linneng- ing, & workman emplosed in the Major Block, at the corner of Madisonand LaSalle streets, acci- dentally fell from the upper floor to the base- ment, and sustained injuries which render his . Hig' sicull js fractured in: three places, and he is severely lurt internally. Heresides at No. 107 Milwaukeo avenue, in s single man, 29 years of age, and has no rela- tives in the city. ) The Proposed Currency Reissue, - ‘PRILADELPHIA, Oct. 21.—At a meeting of busi- ness men at the Commercial Exchange to-day, “oncarning the proposed. relssuance of 944,000,: “000 of legal tenders, resolutions were submitted 0 the effect tha} the business men of Philadel- his wouldindorse the continuance of Seorctary gmmmu‘s policy in the purchase of bonds from ‘time to time to relieve the money market. .
