MARKSMEN ON TRIAL, poacemen Daniclson and Owens, Cne of Whom Shot Amton Mesch, Before ihe Criminal Court, Testimany of the Coroner and County Phy: Prnt? Until This forning. raigned, yesterdey, beforo. Circuit Court, charged with Anton Meech, who was fired ounded while running away ed, on the 6th of October, e People was represented Reed, and the prisoners mVan Arman and A. Van 1 delay, axising from tho rial witneases, a jury was swa: Giles XNiller, John B e son, Henry Bolman, W. H. oll, A: Johneon, Thomas . Dixon, Thomas Simpson, don. - ed opened the case by re- es of the homicide, but left yto determine wltether or ceded their duty in firing lecensed. He hoped that cers innocent of the crime tho dofence, gave his ver- ; tho “case, endeavoring to ' 2 ig companion had assault- i t & brutal manner on the ! i ¥0 policemen made their 4 - . ptedto arrest the assault- i —cceeded in taking them in iy, an attempt was made to rescme the oners on theway to the station. Mesch suc- .ce«‘-ed in breakiag laose and started to run. Ho &S Pursned byboth Danielson and Owens, ono of whom fired ashot in the air. This was fired by Owens. Mesch continued his fight, when s shot was fired by Danielson, and still another, ehot was fired 1y 2 man in the crowd. Between these two shots hleach fell, but as fo which shot took effect, tle testimony was conflicting. Danielson carried 8 small pistol, which wes not fitted by the ball fsund in the brain of the de- ceased. The defesce would arise mainly out of the weskness and insuficiency of the proof of- fered by the Peoyle. i ch was the first witness called. tailed the statement msde to him by Danielson, who stated that he fired two shots in the air, and Owens ired s shot in the ground— both firing for the purpose of frightening the prisoner. ; Coroner Stephenstestified that Owens stated 40 him that he fired 2 shot at the man who was running. The witress also identified certain particles of lead fuuud in the brein of the de- ceased. The base ofthe bull found in the brain corresponded with tte bore of the large revolver | carried by Owens. In replyto o &ueac;on by 3r. Van Arman, theCoroner stated that his only object in seeking the interview with the de- fendants was to _asertain which of them fired ihe fatal shot. Witness corrected himself as to what Owens told im—which was_that he fired into the ground. Tho Corcner here becamo hopelesely confused, contradicting himself Te- peatedly, and givisg ¥ise o the impression in the minds of the listeners that he was in & completo muddle, ond scarely ina condition to give evi~ dence in a murder trial. Dr. McCarihy, the County Physician, testified to having made fhe post-morfem examination upon the body of Anton Mesch, finding that death was causcd by a gun-shot wound in tho brain. “A gunshot wound,” explained the Doctor, “is the vay we scientifically exprosa it.” 1In the course of his cross-examination this wit~ ness also becamess clay in the hands of the pot- ter, tho manner of his_giving in his testimony eliciting from Counsellor Van Arman the re- mark, sotlo voce, to the reporter, This is prin- <ipally & drunker case on the pert of the prose- <ution.” i Mrs. Katio Mwch, mother of tho deccased, was called to tesfify as to the name and date of death of her son. 0. L. Johnscotestified to having seen Alesch in the custody of_Owens, on the comor of In- diapa street” snd Milwaukee avenue. Mesch broke away ind ran, whereupon Danielson | shouted to Cweng, *‘S8hoot the — down.” ‘When Danielson fired Mesch fell flat in the street and died instantly. Owens was the first to fite, sfier whith Mesch mn sboat fifty Tost, and then Dinielson fired. [It will be noted that his evidenie left the cse in & curions phase; as precedhy witnesses swore positivelyto the fact thet the ballet found in the brain was er than the tore of Danielson’s, but fitted the bore of Ower' revolver,—the larger of the two.] Witnesses stated, on cross-examination, thet Owens fired b the air. Tho Court cdpurned until 10 o'clock this morning. FC.ICE DEPARTMENT. e DMeeting of ty Commissiencrs—Patrolmen A'ried and Puisked—Consultation with the DMayoer Reguidng the Rewoval of the West Side Police Stalon. The regular wekly mecting of the Board of Police Commiseitiers for the transaction of business periziniz to the Police Department, was Leld yesterd efiernoon.

Patroimen Low Legger and Michael Acker were charged Wi incttention to duty and Jounging on beat. Caytain Hickey testified that e found both of em snugly ensconced in a doorway eerly one old morning last week. The excuses offered by he s:cused were deemed in- sufficient by the .oerl, and they were fined one d.'zy‘g pay eee, sed treeted to 2 severo b2 5 el H.

The Bomd then adjpuned, snd called upon / the Mayor for the pu'pde of consulting with bim relutive to the sde of the Union Streeb Btation lot, or its exchaige for a site beiter suited for a Police Siatin and engine house combined. The Comrissioners, it appears, favor the purchaso of thi lot ab tho Southwest corner of Green and Vést Washington streets, whera tho old First Corgregationsl Church now stands. It and the Jo aljoining it on the west have been cffered t tliecity, and the polico end fire suthorities seem {4 {hink that it is the only suitable localiy that can mow be obtained. Itisthe intention of the city, as soon as the projer site lus been secured, to erect 2 largo building, capsbl of sccommodating & central West Division police station, & fire-en- gine and hose-wart, ands fire-escape. The con- Terence of tly Commissioners with the Mayor did not resultin anything more than 2 mere ex- pression of spin.on asto the practicability of the proposet undertaling. All the gentlemen mgreed thatthe present quartersof the Union street pulicoare inadequste to sunply the neces- Bities of su:h acentral and important station, and they alp agrecd that, if the police station and fire-engine and cscape houses could be com- bined, s grat benefit would be conferred upon tho thickly-sottled portion of the ngy comprised jathe Sista Police Procinct, His Honor prom- fsed the Beard that ho would consult with the ‘owners of the property offered to the city, and , see what erangements could be made.

How This Sometimes Supposed to ke Harmless Beverage Affects tho Average Citizen. That is, What the Temperance Bureau Knows About Lager---The Germans Instructed. The Tomperance Bureau issued tho following address to the Germans yesterday, through its Secretary, M. C. Kelley, Esq. : Lo the German Citizens of Chicago: During the excitement preceding tho late election, many statements were made in political speeches, for partiean and other purposes, con- ceming the temperance movement, that were not true, and only intended to excite the pre- judice and animosity of that class of our citizens of foreign birth who, through isolation smong their own nationality, &ro not suficiently acquainted with tho customs of Americans, founded upon the heroic virtues of our fore- fathers, who established, by their courage and patriotism, the free institations of our country. the clection, a calmer view hoa been taken of the matter, eand we aro gl . dtp geB s th?t even !hubaee_ [{npe:’s printed in a forsign language are beginning to Yamit to theiz colimns aiatements on bobh silea of the question, and to discuss it in & temperate ‘manner. We desire to show in this address that the Germans have 18 grest an interest in main- iaining the law “ providing against the evils resuliing from the sale of intoxicating liquors ” 25 any other nationality. - 1t is often stated that beor is not intoxicating, and that no’ evil results from its use. A for facts in regard to tho cases that have come under the observation of the Temperance Bureau during its existence will show this matter in _ its true light. About one-half of all the compkints mado at the Buresu lave been * beer cases,” or originated in beersaloons; snd while the con- ducs of those who get drunk on beeris mnoi al- ways So violeat as that of those where whiskey is the canso of drunkenness, yet the geueral ill effects are the seme. Utter destitution and cruel starvation have_beon caused £8 oftca by beer oz by whiskey. In addition, beer drunk- ences cuizes & siupid, gross insensibility to the rights aod feclings of others that is degrading tv our common human uature. It besots and brutitica man uantil every finer domestic fecling is turned to vulgar abuse. In numerous casos, husbands drovk on beer heve kept their wives ous of doors all night, and their children t00; they havo failed to provide food for thoir familics, and m one case tho wife remerked, vihilo the tears streamed down her cheeks, thas cha was willing to do anything in the world for her husbend and three ttlo children, if he would only give hor_enough to eat. In this case ho had furnished notlung for ncerly three months, At the time of her recital she had had nothing to cat for thirty-six hours. In anothor caso, the Irusband, while beor drunk, smused himself by throwing kni\'e:{lchl-h‘s,lm othermissiles at Lis wife whenever she came into the room where ho <was, Thia washis daily constituiional pastime,un- til she was obliged to leave the house to save her life, and found refuge in a charitable institution. 11 3 shmilar case tiie wife and family wero seni to & neighboring State to escape tho bratal trent- ment of her husband. In the case of Andrew Heim, now pending in the Cireuit Court, ho kept an old man continually drunk against the pro- iestetions of his wholo family, who were Ger- mans, Poter Quirmbach kept so_disorderly a house, filled with noisy people and drankerds, o to disturb all his German neighbors. One-half of'the cases pending in Court, in which indict- ments wero Jfound under the new law, are founded upon German_testimony, and Gormans aro the aggrieved parties. Theso acts show that tho law is perfectly im- partial in its operation, snd is as much needed by the Germans ss by any other nationality. Then why sheuld they, as o class, malke o fag- {ious opposition to it? We do not think it neceseary at this time to enter into & metaphysi- cal argument to prove the right of the peopla to passsuch alaw. It Tests upon the grent codo of moral law, where thelaws against assaults, edministering poisons, nttacking with desdly wenpons, and other offences ezainst the persons of individuals, rest. Itisa urivorsal principle that insidious, secret, and wanton aStacis upon the lfe, health, safety, or huppi- mess fof individuals ' or socioty may ! be ropéiled and_punished by restraining and criminal laws. Then why should not the Ger- mans, os well as any other nationality, rally to the support of this law and_assist thoso who nre endeavoring to enforce it? And mot only i dorso its present provisions, but demand its amendment 8o that it can be rendered more effective? The most honest and intelligont Germans havo often expressed the opinion that thero are too many ealoons in Chicago, end that tho law is not strict enough to restrain and gov- crn the lowest class, and, therefore, it ought to be amended. We close by sppealing to them to stand by tho law, and assist, by all means in their power, to render its. provisions more strict, until igno- rance, sensuality, vice, drunkenness, and crime, in all ite phases, shell be completely extermi- nated, and Chicago take a front rank among tho most orderly and respectable citics on the con- tinent. TEMPERANCE BUREAT. —_—e Eronticr Fort Builders —EReturn of Employes, and Trouble in Regard 10 Wages Due Them. R From the St. Paul Dispatch, Dee. 5. The front doors of some of our hotels were, last evening, the scenes of discussions, in which iolent denunciations figured conspicuonsly. The disentisfied men were strangers, and their conversations excited the curiosity of bystandera to such an extent that it was doomed advisable to seek an explanction. It appears that s num- ber of men employed by Lyman Bridges & Co. in in the construction of Fort-McKean, on the Mis- souri River, hed retured to this city, in expecta- tion of receiving pay for their summer's work at this_point. In this they were disappointed, r. Bridges, however, promising payment imme- distely upon_ his amival ab Chicago, where ho reeides, and in the meantime procuring pesses for the men to that city. They claim that large sums are due them, but that they have nob sufli- cient fonds in their possession to_pay for food on the rond, and express the conviction thata danger cxisls of losing the amounts severally due them. They nseort that Mr. Bridges has received pay for the work done, in part at least, and that they are entitled to their portion with- out a quibble or delsy of any kind whatever. ‘This mo; o number of them congregated at General cock’s headquarters with the hope that he wonld extricate them from what they claim to bean exceedingly disagreeable dilomma, bus the result of the spplication for holp bao ot bomn ssceralned, . re are sixty-eight men of the apor- tion of whom ara here, while those gfi’c}eg as teamsters heve been left behind at fioorhead vritlllwut money to pay for their transportation hither, It is proper to state that BMr. Bridges’ explan- stion of the difficulty has not been ascerteined, Lut that thesituation of the men is at the present timo embarnssing and disagreeable there is no room to doubt, and it is hoped thatsome ar- rengement may be mado by which they will be able to secure their just dues. THE GRAND -JURY. The Supreme Ceurt Reprimanded for Be- cent Rulings, Why Indictments Were Not Found Against Rail- road Officials. At the opening of the Criminal Couri yes- terday morning, the report of the Grand Juryfor the December term was read to Judge Rogers by Ar. T. W. Hall, as follows: P Tho Grand Jury, having disposod of the docket for the Decembor term, befors separating desiro to 3y a few words to your Bonor, in relation fo certain matters Dbrought beforo them, Doubtless it i8 o wasto of words and timo for & Grand Jury fo comphin toa court of justice of what they hear and kuow during their sittinps, It yilbe rcad by many, but never hecded, whilo the administration of tho cify ordinances and State lews are not enforced. That such is true ia manifested daily, With all good citizens it is & fact ‘become notorious and & theme of general conver- pation emopg all classes. Tt appears pimost usclesa of latofors Grond Jury to_find an indictment against o criminal. The courts and juries try them ; the ener- setic State’a Attorney grows hoarso in tho discharge of iy arducus duties, and all perform their duties faith- fully aud_well, Dut still public justice fails to get its Jues, Life is Leld cheap in Chicago, and will continuo £0 while our chief Iaw officers suffer a mere quibble of thelaw to grant pardons and upset tho verdict of tho jery in such grave offences, Wohave witnessed {his Yery recently, and to our minds it bodes -no good to the people, Wwhoso servants they aro, If sssassins and smurderers are llowed to go frce, or ore confined & short time only in the Penitentiafy, may wo not appre- - Liend that sooner or later tho peopls will take tho law iu their own honds, and administer it in their own way. We, therefore, most respectfully make this complaint to your Honor, in behalf of tho people, and trust that our chief rulers will henceforth look t0'it. A melancholy case of the death of a citizen, N. B, Taylor, recently, by being run_over by a locomotive of tbe Tllinois Central Railroad Company, was beforo us. ‘This was sad occurrence, caused by the carelcasness and mismanagement of the officers of the Company, in Tunning their trains ot 3 speed of 25 miles an hour within the city limita, . We gave this- caso & patient hearing, and were much inclined not only to indict the cnginecr and conductor of the train, but alsoall th oliicers of tho company who bad suthority, It was proposed fo indict {he enginecr alone, but, upon refiec- tiou, after hearing all the witnesses, ws concluded that 10 was only tho servant of the Company, carrying oul tlio Instructions of bia mastors, 4ad hould, not bo punished for their acts, We wish'most sincercly that wo could with propriety have found indfctments agalnst the President and Superintendonts of tuat Compuny for making such rules and regulations, in the running of their trains at sucha speed within' tbe clty lLimits. Havo we mot city ordi- nances regulating tho & of locomotives? . Have not the Mayor and Chief of Police the power to pro- hibit them running so fest? What havethey to do but to enforce the execution of the city’slaws? Are not the offices of Mayor and Chief of Police created to sca that tho laws are enforced, not violated 7 e respectfully make this complaint also, and hopa our city officials will find time to compel this power= ful corporation to obey the laws, Wa further recommend that the Justices of the Peaco and the Judges of the Cpurts, who txke bail in. i cases, exercise extreme caro in taking bail, and accept only good end. responsibly parties, 50 that “the defaulted bail may bo coliccted. _Respectfally, T, W, HALL, Foreman, +When the foreman had finighed the reading of- theraport, Judge Rogers took occasion to protest against_the allusions to the chiof law officers, Dby which, ho said, it was evident that the Su- preme Court was meant. Ho disspproved both of the language and the apirit of the report, so faras it related to this matter, and also to that | portion roforring, by implication, _to vigilence _ committees. He proceeded. to say, in effact, that Cook County was blessed with an upright, cepablo judiciary, which, administered the laws us they found them, and the state of things complained of was the fault, not of the Courts, but of the lows. The State of Iinois could boast of & Supreme Bench of eminent ability, and whose Judges were fearless and conscientious enough to perform thelr du- ties and administer the laws without being af- fected by popular clamor, and it ill became o Grand Jury to. reflect upon 80 _ eminent and distinguished o judicial body; still less to encourage vigilance ‘committees, which were lit- tlo better than murderers themselves, 83, with- out due process of law, they were as apt to hang the innocent as the guilty. Judge Bogers pro- ceeded at some length in the same vein, admis istering what was evidently iptendod a8 & severe robulc to the Grand Jury, the foroman of which seemed much token sback by the unexpectod treniment of the report. After having boen tbanked by the Judge for the manner in which tirey 13:.;1 discharged their duties, the Grand Jury Tetired. THE LAW COURTS. NOTES OF INTEREST. Inthe suit AnnF.

He kept the secret entirely to himself, and -waited- for a suitable night in John Driver was yesterday arraigned for the aurder of his wife, “and his trial set for next 2ondsy, The Grand Jury having completed their labors, “which to raise his kite. The boy got his kite in- to the air without being discovered, for it was so dark that nothing but the colorod lantern was vigible, It went dancing about in the air wildly, White Star Line. attracting much notice; and was looked upon by ignorant people as some supernatural omen. 'he evil spirit, 88 many supposed it, went_bob-~ bing around for ebout twenty minutes, and then exploded, blowing the lantern to pleces. Next morning, all was wonder nnd oxcitement, and this Iad, who had carefully taken his kite in and hidden i, after the explosion, without being. found out, had his own fun out of the matter. The people of Brattleboro never had any expla- nation of the mystery until nearly sixty yoars afterward, when the boy, who had become quite an old gentleman, published the story in a Brat- tloboro newspaper. 3 P T — A Convict Eleir to a Fortunes From the Licerpool Mercury. -There is & strange story current of an extraor- dinery slics of good luck falling to the share of one whom hitherto ‘‘fortune had cruelly scratched.” Some rarmz 880 2 young man, Tre- spectably connected, and a nafive of Chester, ‘became = somewhat notorious in -this locali- ty for the reckless. life which he was living. Becoming involved in some’ dishonest transactions, . he was qurehended, tried, and sentenced to & period of transportation. A fewmonths ago an old gentleman died in the neighborhood of Chester. He left several housos and land worth zbout £20,000, besides several thousands in cash, but left no will. In- quiries were_set on-foot as to who would be the ‘heir to the old man’s property, and it was found the next of kin was a ne'er-do-well nephew, who had long since been lost sight of, and who, it ‘was supposed, was doad. The circumstance cemo accidentally to the knowledge of ade- tective officer connected with the Liverpool police, who found that the convict was the heir who was wanted for the old man's wealth. He wroto to the Home Office, and the authorities . thera prompily took the matter up,and after scme delny it was found that the man, afterhis sentence, had been re- moved to o penal settlement in Victoria; that hehad obtained his liberty; and that hais ob the present time & prosperous sheep farmer in that comntry. Tho detective has acquainted him with .the fact that ho has become the beir toalargo property; but theman is happy in his Australian home, and it i3 doubtful if even the prospect of becoming s Cheshire landholder will tompt him to revisit the scenes of his youthful follies. ——— . —The schooner City- of Sheboygan, bound down, was caught in the ice in Pigeon DBay and i likely to lny there throngh tho winter. or- Homof the crow walked ashore (seven miles) on o ice.
