THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUN CDMMEREIAL TRANSACTIONS. The Board of Trade Considering the Pro. piiety of Expelling Seme Of Its Hemhers, Prosecntion of the Firm of Myer, Baxter & Co. by A, 0. Ticknor, The Defendants Accused of Unfair Dealing. Afdavits by Both Sides---Argument of C. L. Culver, Esq. A meeting of the Bozrd of Trade was held at 38 p. m., yesterday, to consider the second repork of the Board éf Directors on the charges of un- fair dealing brought by O. A. Tickuor against Ayer, Baxter & Co. Mr. Preston, the President, stated that, on the20th of September, Mr. Ticknor made charges of unfeir dealing against Myer, Baxter & Co., and tho Board of Directors had recommended to a full Board the expulsion of the members of that firm. At that meeting the defendants were granted further time to put in additional evi- dence. The case was again before the Directors, who saw no reason to alter their former verdict. The case would be presented to the Board. After some discussion, the entire evidence, which was quite voluminous, was read by tho Sccretary. The following sworn statements of the complainant and defendants present both sides of the caso: MR, TICENOR’S ATFIDAVIT. Mr. Ticknor submitted an affidavit, as followa: On or about the 18th of Msy last I commenced to makce trades with sud through Hallam, Mrer & Co,, They acling as my commission merchants, Some timd iu July there was a change in the frm, Mr, James ‘Eaxter taking the place of Mr. Hallam, making a new Firm, Myer, Baxter & Co. The tredes that were made by firm Hallatn, Myer & Co,, that had not been closed by firm, were transferred to the new firm, Myer, Baxter & Co., in proof of which I submit as evidence the state= ‘ment of account, which exhibits to my credit on books of mew firm, Jdiy 12, 1875 S3000.0, with trades of 5,400 bushels of grain, and 250 barrels pork, which the new firm nssumed {0 carry for me. Subseguent to 1his date other trades were made for my account, some= times by myself, and other times by them under my inetruction, they always sccepting tho trades mode, putting down tho trades a8 it made by themselves, Onmorning of 20th August I asked Mr. Baxter how much wheat I waa ehort on their booke. He said 15,000 bushels for seller August. I 5aid 1 thought webad better buy it in. He replicd, * you can buy it or Iwill” I did buy 15,000 busticls, giving Mrer, Baxter & Co.s name to thie prties bought of. Talsozeported the eameto Myer, Haxter & Co. Five thousand was tof Mr, Cidershiaw, account Spruance, Preston & Co., 24 S1.21; 5,000 Hord, Recme & Co., 8t $1.24; and 5,000 McHenry, 6t §1.21. On sxme doy Mer, Baxter & Co. bought for me 5,000 bushels at $1.12, seller September, but_never gave me tho name, Suying it was Irom s customer who had ordercd the £ale made. These purchases covered all my trades in wheat with the Srm; leaving 10,60 bushels wheat sold direct to M. Baxter, and 250 barrels pork on hand that 13 not been disposed of. The pork was closed out on the 4h of September, with profit $115.90, which was paid me. Mycr, Baxter & Co. suspended on 20th August, and Qid not take the 15,000 bushels wheat bought on the morning of thet day. Sincothen I have been try- ingtoget &settlement with them, On the 10th of £-ptember they prescnted ms with what purported to ‘be's statement of account, showing me to bu in_their bt $134,67, with credit against Hugh Maher £1,112.50, herens he facts of the case are, they 10 Owing med large sum of money. Ihavo endeavored to obtain Eettiement by offering to arbitrate our differences, but Sithout sucoess. 1 complain of them because they are wilfully withholding my just dues, and their state- Tnent shows an intention to cheat and defrsud me, as Tnow proposeto prove, In their statement I am charged with’a loss of $1,550 on 5,000 bushels wheat, said to besoldto W. T. Templeton, at $144, and eettled at S113, Now they did Dot male said scle to Templeton, and in the sbsenco of other natmea I believe salo was taken and assizned by Alver, Baxter & Co. for their own account, They also Churged me with loss S1,787.50 on 5,060s0ld Templeton 5t S1483(. Such sales were not made to Templeton, but were reported to me sold Burton, Stevens & Co. They zlso charged me with loss §112.50, 5,000 sold Templeton, Thut trade was made "Templeton, ‘but it mado a eettlement, and there was no loss on ac | count of it. Theyelso charged me with loss, £1,700, 5,000 bushels sold John Lyon a¢ $1.48, and setded at 114, Noeale of that kind was mude for me to_Lyon & Ch. The fale was made by myself to D. C.

Tuere ‘was such a trade made for me to Maber on thelst doy of August. On the sama day & purchase of 5,000 busi- €ls of wheat wes made for me at $1.31%. The trade w3 setiled, aud I was credited with the gain, $131.25, Theg also charged me with a loss of $1,500 on 5,000 £old Mv. McWhinney, at $1.43, and settled at $L13. The sale wos §1.33, reported o me'at the time; wus made to .

And in- ssmuch 93 they Tefuse to make ouy settlement With Tue, by arbitration or otherwise, I ask of your Board of Direciors such action as {he facts may seem {0 warrant, T leave with you their different statementsof 3ecounts, s evidence i the cose, AIEEDAm OF JAMES BAXTIE. The following are the efidavits of the de- fendants: ) James Boxter said: Onor sbout lst of May last (1872), Ticknor camo and ssid he wes very hard U, £nd 1A Dot been able to_make any trades for nearly Z1i the winter and spring for want of funds, and could ot pay me the smount be then owed mé, that had oen past due from tho previous summer. £aid he 12 been sued ix the Courts, and_oxpected cther suits 10 be begun agaizst him, and that his housoand lots Srere then mortgaged to'a life insurance comruny for €5.000 (or rether trost deed for that amount); elso, a Facond one to Follansbe & Son for $1,000, znd a third o Mr, Sceley for $1,000 or $1,500. He said ho did Dot want to 1t the properly go forthese amounts, &nd wanted todeed the propesty to me, subject 10 hese amount, and me to advance afarther sum of §00 to operiic on. To this I declined, szying ho 1z no abstract, and eveh if he had, I would uot take the property subject 1o the encumbrances named, and interest cu them, as I did not cansider the property Worih the money to me. Butadvised him, if Be would fave Lis property from eale by Sheriff, tomakea fcurth trust deed 10 some person at five years, and on that ¥ wonld sGvepce him $500; and to itis he readily re- plicd, “mate out the papess:” znd I did €0, und ho 2d them executed, anil got tho §500; and I was to or- der contigustios of abstract at his expense, t0sca a3 only the threo mortgages above referred 10 03 the proparty. I tried to get the continuation but could not do 0. Later in the month Ticknor called on e egain, and said he had put the larger part of thut moncy apin Jackman & Co.s hands, and unless ho comld get $300 more they would gell him oot, as tbe trades lad gone againste him, endzaid if T would putitup for him he Would ucrantee theloss end give mo baif the profits, I gave hiim my chicck for the additional $500, He then Exidif Twould put some more meneyup he would ilie some money sure, and he would guzrantes i rere was ony loss he would pay it, and give me half the profite, 2nd I could have entird control of the ac- count, and he would not ask to draw a dollar of it in Gase of profits being made, To this Ireplied thatI &id not Jmow Jackan & Co,, ond would not put up eny mmore 1money 10 this way 3 but if he would open an Ecoount with Hallam, Myer & Co,, with ihis under- Ftanding, Iwould put some money in their heuds, or give thym s guarantee that would be satististory, s Foey Imew me. Heeald they would nat operatc Tess thion one-eightl cent cach way, and Jackman & Co, Would doit for coc-sixteenth eachwor; end Isaid I Fomd sce’ them and try and get 'it done for the ohesizteenth, I did” see diyer, omd also Forrey; they refused to do it for ls3 tham ‘one-eighth cent, and we then agreed to poy that price, 25T would not put thie money u any otler partics, and Tith the understanding that I ebould have entire con- trol of the acconnt in_every sbapoand form. Imade the deposit, and afterwards tho guatantee, to Hallam, ser & Co, cud Myer, Baxter &Co,, and’ at the time 7 tnads the fifet deposit I took receiptin nc co th {he arraugement s agreed. As to the card Tick Hor produces, when hesays I offered him 25 cenfs on fhe.doller for his clim, I positively deny ; but do ad- it that whea Ticknor called an o and said the firm Swed hizu 5,600, or theveaboute, T decided it by say- “43¢ they do, your half is $2,150,” but uever olfered hima dollar, I elieve the lettering on the card is ‘nade by Ticknor himself, and refer to any person thet Fnows his writing, I deay that I bave notleen willing to eettle this _disymte by arbi- tration, 28 I em now, and always have been, ready and wriliing to leave all matters in dispute betwean "ficknor and myself 1o threo dieinterested men to exzmine and Qdecide, 1deny {hat Tickmer gyer put up any money on'this sccount, tomy knowledge, exceptto return 1,100 on- what I gave ‘bim orders to drzw out; and Shen they (Hallsm, Mrer & Co.) called on me for mon- ey, 1 asked them t0 call and ask him (Ticknor) to put Forme back, and they ndvised me that lie bad dons 50 %othe extent of $500 or $600. Tickmor eays money Las Teen paid him witiiout my consent, I deny this 3 and i€ there hus it not been clinrged in the sccount, First, the $500 was paid on my wTitten order, also the $8005 snd the check (%30) éndorsed by mo for Tic mor I paid mysell to Afr. Rickey for a claim of 300 or §400 agminst him. The ofher $30 ‘chieck £6 pay elzim against Ticknor, due Colonel Ray, T ordered r, Myer 1o pay. Aug.o, I handed Tick- Dor check for $500, myself. ~ Also, tiio $40 paid to_Cus- %er I ordered Al Myer to pay, and the chieck of $1501 elsohanded to Ticknor ; and before doing so I Lad, at Tickmors request, called st he ofice of Willlam Foung, and agreed to let him (Ticknor) have 150 toput p there to prevent them selling out ‘or] buying 5,000 wheat he had with them, a8 Ticknor reported to me. As to the §115.90 paid Ticknor on pork purchase, I Imow noths}ng Aboutit. I bod pever any interest in a0y pork trade, and nover suthorized any ome of the firm to pay ndollar to Ticknor, or any ono else,without T 0rden from mo; but have told each of them not to pas doliar on {ho account without my_consent. MNtkmor- yesterday stated that we had for- &%y that we had $3,000 in B s, T say the firm nover, to my kmowledge, had Anything ta do with the securities, nor did auy person it with it ever sco them but myself, I fusther Say that there never was any timo when I would give Titin $1.600 for his interest in the property, me assum- ing the incumbrances of $8,000 or $8,500, nnd the in- torost acerued thereon, and Ticknor in the house, As Tunderstand tho property to be, it is 56 feet front on arren avenue by 125 feet desp on Robey street (in {hie gouthwest corner), Wwith a two-story framo housa omit. But was there only one trust deed on it for this amount, I would consider it in much better shape as & gecurity than to hold tho fourth trust deed oni it, and ot in shapo to protect the others, in casethe inferest as not paid promptly, or they declare forfeiture and cdvertise tho property for sale, Ay recollection is that one or two_of these trust deeds was due, or about to Decome due. During the summer, some time, Ticknor called on me and said ho needed some money, and if I could not spare it, he could get it from Follansbe, Isaid, “All Tight ; Follansbe kmows your property better than any one else ; take your papors and go and get it, and pay me §275," being for a note of $250 and interest, $25, “ that I have had abouta year,” He took the papers, and aflerwards reported to me that Follznsbe gave him $500,—not perticularly on the Eecurities, but knowing that ho would payit. And Ticknor gave me-the check of $275. It might havo been $o%, but I thik it was 3 icknor on 25th September, asking him Teave. thia matter o disimterosied men _decide, and gave the lefter to Cla Geib, and asked him to personally deliver it to Tick~ nor; and his reply to me was that Ticknor refused. And'I have said to Ticknor’s friends, since, that I am 2t all times ready to submit this matter {o'sny three disinterested men to declde, and that I was willing to do so without reference to tho decision against the firm by you, as I believo Mr, Ticknor owes me, and I would like the matter setfled up. Ticknor called on me after the corner in wheat birst, and wanted the continuation of abstract, as he said, fo borrow money. Tagain tried to get it, but failed.’ And in Tickuors evidence he claims that it was my abstract. I have, as near os I can, given o full statement of tho factsin this case, AFFIDAVIT OF ISAAC MYER. Mr. Isago Myer swore as follows : * Ticknor says the firm refused to arbitrate. I admit Ticknor did ask me to arbitrate this claim. IsudT must first see Baxter, as he controlled the sccount, and, if be wished, I was very willing. Ticknor says Dotlh firms called on him for margins. I never nsked Dim for any money but when Baxter 5aid to go and get ‘some back from Ticknor, and_be (Baxter) always said if Ticknor didn't put it up, bo would, Ticknor says o always treated the account as his, ThisI deny. I considered the account alwoys Baxfer’s, and would not, under any circumstances, bave made balf 0’ maay trades I’ considered {ho ‘nccount Ticknor's, Ticknor brought the order, $800, t0 me, signed Baxtar, snd I sent W. H. Taylor to the ofice after the check, and he brought tho check back, 50 T gave it to Ticknor. Ticknor sass wo have paid money without Baxter's consent, This I deny posi- fively, I mever peid bim a doliar ou this uccount wwithout first getting Baxter’s permiscion, and would Dot have done so under any circumstences, When Mr, Rumsey offered_me $1,200 of Ticknor's paper in Eettlement of about $200 due us by him, which I would gladly have accepted could T have seen tho amount dug us, but Imowing Tickmor bad mo control of this ncbount, T so told_ Mr. Rumsey, that there was not s dollar in our hands that he (Ticknor) could control ; aud when Ticknor asked me to pay George Custer the 40, I told him (Custer) I could not do so withont Baxter's consent, and did not 0 80 until Baxter bad given permission, I positively say that Ticknor told me scveral times during the ex- istence of the firm, Hallam, Myer & Co., and also since the firm hias been Ayer, Baxter & Co,, {hut the account ket in his name was not bis, and that ho (Ticknon) Qidn’t control it, and for me never to say that ho L any moneg. 1 smay here state, that when I suw Baxter and asked if ho wished to arbitrate this scconnt, he replied that he was always willing and ready to arbi- trate any claim mado ggainst him by any one, but in this case, Mr, Ticknor bad 25 yet made no_complaint, nor called for settloment, he (Baxter) having been in New York all the previous ten days. B, CHARLES G. CULVER, On behalf of tho Board of Direc- tors, epoke in_support of expulsion. Io referr to the printed statement of Teonard Swett, setting forth the points of the case on behalf of the :defendants, and the pamphlet issued by the defendants, purporting to contain gl the evidence. He contended that neither document contained all the evidence, and the pamphlet tended to create the impres- &ion that the Dircctors were not disposed_to treat the defendants fairly. The dispute be- tween Myer, Bexter & Co. rose ont of losses sustained by trades_ with J. B. Lyon & Co., W. §. Templefon, and 2 Mr. Mc\Whinney, who failed at the time of the wheat corner in August last. The conviction of the Board of Directors was but to relieve themselves_os much as pos- sible from loss by these parties, to whom ihey Tad sold ab the time. Myer, Baxter & Co. hed charged to Mr. Ticknor s portion of enid losees, and in doing ‘o, end in denying that he had gay intercst in the account kept in his name on the books of Myer, Baxter & Co., thoy had, as the Diroctors believed, at- tempied to defraud Ticknor. The evidence was roviewed to show that 5,000 bushels of wheat, on hich o loss of $1,700 charged to Ticknor as set- tled with Lyon, was not sold to Lyon for Tick- nor's account, but was sold direct by Tickoor to D. C. Scraaton, and on the sala there was no Joss. By tho evidence of McWhinney and by the admission of the defendants, it was shown that 5,000 bushels of whest, on which the loss of £1,500 was cherged to Ticknor on account of TIoWhinnéy's failure, was wheat actu- olly bLought of Ticknor by Myer, Buxter & Co., in their own name, and for which Hyer, Baxter & Co. were to pay Ticknor 143 por bushel. If Ticknorhad no interest in theso Bales, why was the sccount kept in his name? If Daxter had an interest in Ticknor’s account, res it not strange that he mever drew any cf the profits? The denial of the defendants that they did not act s commission merchants for Ticknor could not be reconciled with their state- ment that they trausacted business on his order. ‘Aftor further analyzing the evidenco, Mr. Culver 2ppealed to the members of the Board to per- form their duties to themselves and the aseocia- tion, unbiesed by sympathy for the sccused. They ehould preserve the homor of the Board sbove reproach.. The Board sdjourned untl 3 p.m. to-day, when the defence will have an oppertunity of presenting an argument. SISO STEAM WAGONS AND BRIDGE-GATES. Te ths Editor of The Chicago Tribune: Sm : Having read in Tus Trmeose, to-day, gbout & now steam wagon for our streets, and its possible practicability, the undersigned takes the liberty to remark that it is quite peesible that allmaterials and paszengers could be moved on our streets, to and fro, withcnt a direct mo- tive power to the wagons ; but through s power which flows_from stationary engines. The pos- sibility of tha above nssertion no real mechan- icel thinier will doubt. ‘A fow months ago, the Board of Public Works reported to the City Council, 2b tho request of thio latter, abou ' safety-gates ”for our turn- bridges, £0 prevent people from felling into the river. TheBoard of Public Works reported that they Imew of nothing practical to answer the urposo, Mo years cgo, I commenced to think about « hridge-gites.” ' Shortly beforo the Great Firo, I succeeded in proving their practicability by & model, which was lost by thefire; but, aftér learning the Common Council's request, I order- ed another model, which, by showing it to the Board of Public Works, earned for me tho wise advice tobuild s gateat my own expense, and %o prove with alorge gate the practicability. Put I have no means. And so people walking our streets at night will heave the ploasure of Qrinking oblivica irom our styx. Two weeks ago, an_unknown man walked into the river at Randoiph street bridge, at 12 o'clock eb night. Last Saturday, o man walked into the river 2t Ciybourn bridge, and leayes four children and & wife to mourn. Everyfew daysthe Coroner gpesks over o corpse the wiso santenco: “ Drowned by accident,” etc., etc. : Now, Mr. Editer, would it not be wise for the City Council to appoint a Commission of intelli- gent mechanics to make a selection out of the Dumerous inventions for safoty-gates, and try it earnestly on one of our bridges, but not at the poor_inventor's oxpense, but &t,the city's? I the inventor saves one lifeina year, is he nob entitlod to a fair hearing? But, if his invention is really good, he will save a hundred livess year. That there can be something found and ap- plied to the bridges,no ren with common echenical sense will deny; but the way must Do hunted tobe found. If. something bettex then my invention i3 found, let it be adopied, but don’t lef us drown men wilfully. Respect- fully, 4. STEMPEL. Citreado, Nov. 5, 1872, —_— Facts Worth Knowing.

VA SCHAACK, STEVENSON & RED, ‘Nos. 92 and 94 Lake street, Wostern Ageats, THE RESULT. Comments of the New, York ‘Tribune. Special Despateh to The Chicago Tribune. New Yorg, Nov. 6.—The Tribune this morn- ing, says of the clectio “There is no paaliel to the completeness of the rout and trinaiph. Tho Democrats have vied with the Republicans in contributing toit ; some of them by voting for Grant Electors, many ‘more by neglecting to vote 2t all. For the pres- ent, the Liberal movement is crushed. “ Let no man accuse the ablo and shrewd poli- ticians who, as the Republican National Com- mittee, dirested the canvass for General Grant'a re-election, and squandered the unprecedented sums raised and disbursed by them in this con- test, of .ever having plufed a whole park of artillory to Kill o iy, The Liberal movement as at one time formidable, and had a prospect of success, had not millions boen expended to arrost its progress in the State elections of the Jast three months. It might even have swept the country, though all tho money raised in its behalf would atbest have been pence to balance pounds. But a poril anticipated is ofton a peril averted. Thousands of the voters of North Caro- oling, Vermont, and Maine wero-convinced by monoy that they might better vote the Adminis- tration than the Liberal ticket, and that, if they could not go vote, it was their interest to stay at Thome on election day, and not vote at ell. Thus the Liberal Republican strength in these States was nearly neutralized by Democrats who “yonldn't eat crow” when they could get S5 to 520 each for mot eating it. ~ Thus was secured to_the Grant Stato tickets a small ma- jority in North_Caroling, and nearly the Re- ublican mejorities of 1868 in Vermont and nino. And thus was encouragement given to the enormons outlay by which Pennsylvania was made to roll up for Hartranft at least treble her Republican majority. There was nothing E\ucbnsnbln in the Keystone State that was not ought, whether of voters, electioneercrs, or inspectors and canvassers, and buf one party had the wherewith to buy the small, yot am- Ele, majorities in Ohio and Nebrasks, while the alanced result in Indiana in October assured all who stood aloof, watching the strugslo as cool spectators, that General rant's re-election was highly probable, and at once a stampede_to the winning side be;im, which grow day by day more formideble. Thousands who had been Fempiring with zeal for the Liberal cause si- lently stepped_into the swelling torrent. The gellant few who stood out might as well have fried to stem the torrent of Niagara. Well, wo id our best to stem if, believing firmly: ¢ First. That no President should bo re-elect- e while wiclding tho enormous patronage of our highest station; holding that he should be shielded from all temptations to use these pow- ers for personal ends. “Second. That this country was in great nced of genuine Civil Service Reform, which shall restore to her office-holders that freedom to think, decide, and act on political issues, which is their birthright, but which they cannot enjoy | in tho present system, and which shall onable thiem to give their days to public duties for which thoy are paid, rather than boe patrolling and electioneering’ in the partisan interest of their patron and chief. “Third. That the war-wasted, tax-plundered, debt-covered, half-bankrupt South should be cheered with 2 well-grounded hope of honester rule and brighter daye. ¢ Tt did seem to us that the time had como for 2 National Reconciliation, whereby the destinies of the South should be confided to the better portion of her penixe of both races, and the ‘master-spirits of such travesties of Republican rule 28 South Carolina and Arkansas be made to feol tho frown of Federal suthority, end either Teform their waya or relinquish their abused ower. And it scemed to us that such enormous efalcations as Paymaster Hodges', 474,000, ought at least to be explained before power is returned to the hands which wielded it when that (glrenb fraud wes confessed and tho men de- tected. But tho people have decided otherwise, and wo bow ta their decision. The wealth of the coun- A and _especially the incorporated wealth, rallied to the support of General Grant, poured ont_its millions in his behalf. It did Dot generally deny that his civil careor had been faulty. It merely insisted that his competitors had been and would be more so. Then, our manufacturers, baukers, etc., wero nearly all making monoy. -They deprecated any change whatever, and especially & change which they feared might prove radical and fundamental. “Cr. Boutwell, in the Treasury, had satisfied thom that he was trying to keep tho discount on greenbecks ranging between 10 and 14 per cent, Ho that tho devices and struggles of the gold and stock gamblers should create no pressure or panic. Whether the means employoed were legal or_ otherwiso was to thom o quite sub- ordinate consideration, so that the issue of millions of new greenbacks or sharp sales of millions of goldtroubled them not,—so {hat the end were attained of making or keep- ing money casy, and the disparity batween gold i)l.ud legal-tendor as nearly uniform 28 might e. “ General Grant lies a new four-years' lease of porwer, with a Congress of which two-thirds to three-fourths of either House will support him zealousty. He las every facility for ellect~ ing the reforms he is suid to meditafe, and espe~ cially that of the Civil Servico; while the repeal of tho much-abused franking privilege is 80 squarely promised that ity success would seem to be assured. “And, while there are dangerous tsndencies devaloped by this canvass, which foreshadow o Government by the rich and-able few, subsidiz~ ing and controlling such portion 2s they may require of the ignorant, penniless and venal mn’::ly, Jet us never despair of the American. Re~ public.” THE LAW COURTS. NOTES OF INTEREST. Mr. Register Hibbard, yesterday, made Lis re- port as to the Tailroad stock placed in the hands Gf Blackstone by Mr. Chandler, bankrupt. It appears from tho report that the bankrupt was, on the 18t of -November, 1871, worth $100,000, over and above all liabilities, and that among his poseossiong wera 500 ehares in tho St. Louis, Eansas City & Northern R. R. Compeny ; that, Inter on, he became the administrator of the estate of Thomas C. Smith, deceased, end that, his sureties on the occasion were Frank Chandler and Blackstone. To secure these sureties, and other creditors, for various reasons which en- titled them to sacurity, Mr. Chandler handed these shares to Frank Chandler. On the 10th of June, 1872, it become necessary to realize on someof these shares, and the latter handed them to Mr. Blackstone, who _did what was necessary. Cn the 19th of August, Peyton Chandler, as well 88 Chandler, Pomoroy & Co., were declared bankrupts. In October it became necessary to. settlo up the estats of the late Thomss C. Smith, and with that object Blackstone sold mora of_the stock, tho balanco remaining, after &varythmg was_paid, being £7,890.10. This amount the Register recommends for division, pro rata, among the creditors who were secured &t a timo when the bankrupt was perfectly solv- ent, and could not have foreseen his subsequent; losges ; the following being their names and the smounts due_them: Samuel Knight, S1,497.16 5 Jobn B. Knight, §1,693; estate of L. G lead, §5,187.92; estate of Belle Smith, £728.92; Peyton R. Sherwin, §2,808.56, and L. H. & C. KEeys, $3,285.75, In the petition for dower, filed yesterdsy in thio Cixeuit Court, the petitioner affirms that she wes divorced from Peter Eerwin, of Clinton County, Towa, in 1861, that eho afterwards mar- xiod J. L. Rumery, with whom she is still living, and that gaid Kerwin died intestate on the 11th of July last, possossed of tho following land, of which sho claims one-third, the divorco being the result of his own misconduct alone: Ia the City of Chicago, commencing ot the north- west corner of West Madison nnd‘i!oynu streets; thence west on the north line of West Madison street, 119 58-100 feot; thence north to the south line of Warren avenue ; thence est along said south line to the west line of Hoyno street; thence south along said west line fo tho place of beginning.” The petitioner does nob state whot cowrso was adopted by the Court in reference to this property when the divorco was granted, but ghe asserts that the above parties aro now pos- sossed of the estato, it having been alienated to them by Kerwin during ‘his lifetime. Delorah Carrigan preys for divorco from her husband Thomas, to whom she was married in January last, She affrms that hor husband hns treated her 80 inhumanely that she has been compelled to fly the house, andis afraid to re- turn, being in dresd of his doing her bodily harm. She prays for alimony, her husband be- ing & puddler, earning $7 per day at the rollin ills, and there being & quantity of househol goods in his posseseion which was bought partly With her money. The miseries of the Judges have all over again. After having been driven out, by o’ freozing process, during the cold spell, for want of steam pipes, they are now smoked out by the fumes of the tar with which the steam pipes are being daubed. It was not until all the windows in tho building had been opened, yesterday, snd the tar barnt dry by the pipes beingmade nesrly red hot, that the Judges were abla to return to the scenes of their long-enduring tortures, and resume business. A general feeling of relief was observable in the radisnt face of the Oourt. Clorks, yesterday. The floors were once more swept clean, the cor- ridors were orderly, the court-rooms were no longer crowded .to suffocetion with unwashed aliens z.sEiting to become citizens ; and the maj- esty of the law, lately considerably rufffed, may be seid to have become itself again. Price & Bibb yesterdsy filed a petition for me- chanic's lien, in the Circuit. Court, against the owners of thie lots on which the Arcade building stands, on Clark street, south of Madisonstreet, for patt of 348,000 brick supplied which has nok boen paid for.. The contract was for 750,000 brick, but plaiatif stopped delivoring, s 'tho contractors, Sullivan & Co., cessed to pay, ac- cs%x;%ing to the petitioner. The balance is” only .50. Judge Gary yesterday issmed an_ order on Alonzo Houghton, defendant in suit brought by his wife Elizs, for divorce, to show cause why he should not bo attached for contempt of Court in not paying S5, solicitor’sfees, as order- ed by the Court. - The wife sues in forma paup- eris. X The sale of Munn, Norton & Scott’s valuahle property, advertised to take place, by the mort- gagor on the 9th inst., has ben enjoined by the istrict Court. The mortgagor, Jesso Hoyt, claims undor seven promissory notes of 350,000 each, and there is another mortgage of $30,000. A stipulation was filed in_the Circuit Court, yesterday, in the suit of Reid & Sherwin v. ‘Alpheus G. Badger, Octavius P, Badger, Walter . Hilton, Dovid A. Gage, and_Obadiah ' Jack- son, by which the action was dismissed. The sction wes on judgment by confession of o debb of 814,819.67. _There is no Grand Jury yet sworn in, only eight jurors having answered to their names up to the close of the Court. Judge Porter is likely to have any easy time of it for the mext few days. Judge Gary was bewildered with the multi- plicity of his business, yesterday, but traneacted. n onormous amount, nevertheless. The pro- -omme announced in TE TRIBUNE will not be eparted from. To-dayis defoult day in com- mon law. Thebond for appesl to the Supreme Court, in the Lyndon divorce case, was filed, yesterday, in tho Superior Court. Payne Fritzand John L. ?o“%“’“" were the surieties. The amount was 250 Fifteon appealed cases were yesterday filed, from the different Police Courts, at the ~Crimi- nal Court, none of which were noteworthy. The petit jury in the United States Court will be called this morning. The call on the calen- darwill be found in its proper place. The exsmination of Shenahan & West, bank- rupts, took place before Register Hibbard, atl o'clock to-day. Judgo Booth concentrated his energics on the railroad condemnation cases yesterdsy, and his clerk's minute-book was unstaing Frederick Laywek petitions, in the Circait, Gourt, for permission to assuino his ‘mother's name, Hurlbat. Several interesting new suits are recorded- Land-owners should be on the watch. There were no new bankrupts yesterday.

ACADENY OF MUSIC, ~ The people of the West Division are just now enjoying the convenience of s place of amuse- ment situated directlyin their midst, and are nightly crowding the Academy of Music, chiefly for the reason, it may be supposed, that they can get there. The immense attendance at each performance this week is difficult to account for on any other basis, for it is sbsurd to suppose that 5o many people still exist in Chicago ‘who would ordinarily walk a mile or two justto see tho “Black Crook.” It is the Academy's first at- tack of the leg disoase, and the box-sheet shows that it has got it bsd. A hasty disgnosis of the ‘maledy shows that its type is of sbout the aovorsge severity. Were it not inconceivable that any aspect .of the thin and dreary specta cle could be excellent, it might be gaid that the performance at the Academ) excels in its dramotic cast and in the ballet. The reg- ular company contributes Mr. Blaisdell, Mr. Padgett, Mr. Maynard, and Mr. Johnson, and Miss Flotcher, Mrs, Carhart, Miss Newton, and ‘Miss Morgan, the latier making up in her ad- ‘mirable vocalism for her present lack of dramat- {c capability, Inthe list of dancors js found one of the most _gracefnl, refined, and accom- pliched artiste in her profession, Botty Rigl, always a strong favorite, and deservedly 0, not fess on sccount of her Wwomanly face, than ‘her rure ability. Her sister, EmilyRigl, who is & new comer here, is also exquisitely bosutifal in form and features, her movementsbeing peculiarly vigorousand elastic. The other premieres are ‘Mlle. Elise, who does a fine skipping-rope dance, and Mlle. Proscher, & rightly, graceful artist. The secundo dancers, the soryphees, and the general ballet are in ap- pearance decidedly above the average. Among the variety features, the Snow Brothers are noticeable in_their scrobatic feats, their hat tossing, and their trained dogs, and_the Curtis Brothers give agood skatorial act. In seenery, costumes, and stage effects, the piece is decided- Iy inferior to its recent vroduction in Chicago, deficiencies for which the Academy mansgement s not_sccountable, since these fesfures are im- ported from Buffalo. The performance DOW moves along smoothly, snd occupies but sbout three honrs. ANNOUNCEMENTS. Light business is the unvarying rule 2t all the theatres. At _Aiken's, Fox, in ¢ Humpty Dumpty," is’ drawing the lion's share of the South Side patronage, the theatre being more easily reached than the others. A fine parform- ance of “ Humpty Dumpty” is being given &t Hooloy's, and_Maggie Mitchell, in *“Fanchon,” is delighting tho people_who can get to McVick- er's, At Myers' Opera House the minstrel bill is unusnally good, the mottoof tho institution being: Let's laugh, if the horses docough.” The Georgia Minstrels, » fine orgapization of genu- ine colored people, are doing a good business at Nixon's Amphithestre. THE PATTI-MARIO EEASOX. The arrangements for the Patti-Mario sesson have been somewhat changed since the last an- nouncements. The dates and_places are now fixed as follows: Nov. 1{% _Michigan Avenue Baptist Church; Nov. 15, Union Park Congre- ational Church; Nov. 16, matines, Michigan venue Baptist Church.

YOUNG MEN'S MUTUAL BENEFIT ASSOCIA- TION. 1o the Editor of The Chicago Tribune: Sm: The young men of this 2nd every other large city have, in case they are thrown out of employment by sickness or otherwise, 2o means to fall back on, 8ave, perchance, they may have been very provident, and have saved a few dol- lars out of their meagre salaries. Now, would it not be avery good thing for them to consider this: They may, by concerted action, establish a Matusl Benefit Association, whereby they may have something to depend upon in case of need,—such Mutual Benefit Society being chartered, and under control of officers who shall be responsible; and eny man, be he clerk or artisan, should have the right to ‘become & member by paying an admission fee, and dues of, eay, 82 per month, and showing a g00d character for industry. Single men might not, perbaps, need to psy 8o much a8 8. Married men might pay their fee and dues of, say, §2 per month for themselves, and 50 cents per month for eachin their families. 3 T have no doubt that such an Association could be got under way, and made useful indeed to both single and married men. Tknow I would willingly psy such assess- ments, and keep them nE year by year. Ruch Association might hold real estate and other investments; in fact, be a regular Insur- ence Savings Bank; and, in case any member is thrown out of work, he-would be entitled to draw his board, and that of his family, from the $reasury for a fessonable time, the moximum of which might be safely determined. Such a thing, I feel sure, could be of grest value, and would, in mapy ¢ases, provent waat and involuntary crime. Yours x-osyeet(u].!fiyfyA ¥ Youra Camicaco, Nov. 6, 1672 - Estra Accommodation Train.
