A Gorgeous Dfsplay of Precious Stones, Rich Jewelry, and Useful and Ornamental Ware, The resumption of business on the South Side by old established firms is now an event of daily occmrrence, and in every instance they have opened in better quarters than they occupied before the fire, and with larger and finer stocke of goods. This is trme of Matson & Co., jewol- ers, formerly of No. 117 Lake street,who opened yesterday in their new stors, at the southwest corner of Stato and Monroe strests. The first flooris certainly one of the most elegant show- Tooms in the country. A black walnut partition, with French walnut panels, about seven foot high, divides the room into wholesale and rtail departments, the latter in the front, measuring 80 feot by 5¢, the former 40 by 54. Thoe ceiling is 18 feob in the ‘clear, and is supported by a row of solid columns painted white and trimmed with gold. There are twelve immense plate glass windowa and one door at the side, and four windows and in sbundance. Circular gnsoliers, with double TowS of jots, one above the other, {lluminate the scene af night. There are four counters, two in the middle and one on each side. Theso counters are composed of & combination of colored marbles, the base being Columbus mar- ble, the panels Champaign marble, and the re- maining parts statuary marble. Onthe counters aro rosewood show-cases, Laving panes of French plato glass, twelve foet long, Behind the mde counters, standing against the valls, are black walnut cobinets, with French walnut anels, carved and wrought with singular taste. ~ The offices of the firm, located near the partition, are fur- nished regardless of expenss. On_the main 1oor is the great vault, 9 feet long, 15 wide, and 18 kigh, and 2 directly under it in the basement, is_another vsult, nearly as largo. Fire-brick 1aid in cement, form walls, 30 inches thick, and the doors are Hall's burglar end fire proof pat- tern, The more valuzble goods, such as jm_relrty, plate, waichés, and all proporty belonging to Customers, will be stored in the upper vault a night for eafe keeping, and tho lower vault will protect goods in stock, There araalso two Hor- Ting eafes on the main floor. The cost of fit- ting up this establishment was £35,000. Anjdea of its magnificence mey be gathered from thia imperfact deecription, but it must bo soen to be apprecisted. The firm claim that their store is the finest in the country. Tho stock comprises_overything that is made in the jewelry lme. Tho various departments are under the control of courtgous and attentive clerks. The diamond cascs contain all kinds of recious stones, made up in rings, crosses, Exooches, ete. Thero are also cameos, pearls, and corals of great beauty and value. Homs of the diamond solitaires sell from 31,800 to 83,000, and a bracelet, pin, and earrings of solid black onyx sef with diamonds, are worth 2,500, There are watches from all the great many- {actories in this country and Europe, ranging in rices from 830 to $600, Jacot and Pater ghflip!' mako are specialtics of this establish- ment, and thero are also Jurgensen, Elgin, ‘Waltham, and other famous time-keopers. Thers are also’ clocks, for ornament and use. Tho regulator is ‘s mammoth Howard clock with a compensating pendulum. Ita time will bo Checred every day by observations of the sun m“i:‘.«i];m daily from an’observatory on top of the e "The siiverware isexhibited in the cabinots, It is enough to say that it compriges evarything in that line, from e spoon toa ten set yalued at $1,000. Tho bronzes imported by the firm were selected by Mr. Matson, who spers thres montie in Europo purchusing {he stock. Tt may bo re- marked in this connection that the firm imports its goods direct from the foreign countries where they aro menufactured, sell as cheap, if not ches; Boston houses. Of the bronzes, thera is an in- finito variety, muited to all purpees. Thoy ara 4 er, than New Yorkand in gold and green, silver and copper. Onogronp, Iopresenting Persous aud Andromeds, is for salg at & . Thero are other departments, inclnding fancy perfumery and toilet articles, pocketbooks ia morocco, “travelling-bags, work-boxes, etc. A music-box, capable of executing thirty-six dir- feront airs, is valued a §1,050; and & centre- teble, made of 85,000 different pieces of choice wood, and which was awarded & gold medsl at the Paris Exposition, is for sale at $1,500. It is & fac simile of one presented to President Line c Gln. The wholesale department contsins goods in Iarge quantities to suit the country trade, and the store-room in the basement is full of re- serve stock. The valuo of the entire stock is three-quarters of a million. Chicago has reason to be proud of the fack that the fitting up of this establishment was the Jork of its own cratiemen. After visiting New York, Boston, and Philadelphis, the firm dtscov.. ered that the finest work was done in this city, and sccordingly gave it the proforence, Thg Wwood-worlk was done by A, H. Andrews, oficeand £chool furnitnre dealers, who occupy the sasond floor of the building ; tho counters were made by the Chicago Marble Company, and the coun~ ter cases by Anderson, of State sireet, It is trulya ificent enterprise. Hun- dreds of citizens thronged the store yestorday, It is one of the wonders of tho mew city, and will bo visited as one of the sights by persons from abroad, % Sewing Machines, Beyond all question oo of the most economical et~ ing machines to buyis the Wilson Underfeed, It is perfoct and durablein workmanship, simple and easy to operate, and ith work i very superior, It is sold at 2 less prics than any other first-class maching, and its popugfm,;, 80 well deserved, is daily lncrmi:'n‘;g. sSm';- room at No, 378 West Madison street, Chicago, and in all othes cities in the United States, The company want agents in country towns, —_—— Paintings Worthy of Examination.

Daylight streams through. and are thereforo able to- In these cases the defendant demurred to the bill that there was no jurisdiction. The bill originally included the following defendants: Lamer Insurance Company, Leonard Bwett, Issac H. Hardin, Wm. H, W. Cushmore, W, §. Godell, Van. H. Higgins, and John H. Wise, Recently a motion was introduced to dismiss the suit as against all the defendants except the La- mar and Peoples, which was agreed to, followed by » motion that the euit as against the Paople’s bo removed to the United States Courts, which is pending. The papers were now brought down by the Court to pass upon. The complaint, as amended, by the striking out of the named defendants, 2nd all relating to_them, now stands, that before June, 1871, tho Lamar bad & subscription capital ‘of $1,900,000, of which tho subscribers peid 5 per cént ‘in cash and gave bonds for 15 per cent, lenving 80 per cent subject to call ; that the whole oapital of 25,000,000 was afterward subscribed ; that in June, 1871, the Lamar dooided to stop business, and reinsured its outstanding risks, and wonn up its =ffairs, a Commitéoo being ap- pointed for the purpose, which arranged with the People’s Insurance Company, of San TFrancisco, and reinsured with that Company all outstanding risks for 360,000, after the payment of which assets were loft on hand amotnting to $93,008.16 ; that, bys statement issued after the October fire, the' stock paid up was shown $o be §206,081.50 ; total assets, £397,487.91, and mis. cellaneous, 85,820, By the fire the People's lost about 500,000 of ita own, and about §300,000 by its Lamar reinsurances, and their assets, it wag stated, would enable them to pay- 23 conts on the dollar, and that, = for the settlemont of claims, an = office was opened to adjudicate’ thereon; that the Lamar Company st no time opened an office, or in any way attompted settloment, and that'ita officors contendad that it had._sssigned and sur- rendered all its liabilities to the People's; that the Lamar officers, by stating that the sufferera would never get mora than 25 per cent from the People’s, bought up their own 2 policies at that Tate to the amount of about S100,000, and that the Lamar olaims that the People's ia indebted to them, under reinsurances, to the oxtent of about $300,000. And saks for the appointment of a Receiver, and that tho companies be en- joined from meddling with the policics. The Court said that in the cause of Wilkoshe- sky v. Tho Lamar Insurance Company he thonght the demurrer should bs overruled. The only filed objection that appeared to have woight had been removed by the dismissal of the snit a8 regards certain defendants (Leonard Swott, Tsano N. Hardin, H. W. ore, Wi, 8. Go- dell, Van H. Higging, aad John H. Wise, the facts respecting which will be found duly report- ed in Tne TRIBUNE of that date). Buch alloga- tions as relate to the other parties were good and sufficient, 8s it scemod fo i by resson 'of the nma of corporation. A corporation conld not have an execation issned sgainst it levied on its stock by and it did sppear that zemedy in a Court of tribunal in which tho ief, and adjust the mat- tors at isene. Ho should, ‘therefore, hold that the allegations were sufficlent 2 regards the do- fendants not slready dismissed, namely, the La. mar and the People’s Insurance Companies, Mr. Evans, for tho defendants, ssked the Court for s reasonably sufficient time to answer the bill aa regards the two defendant companics against whom the allogations are held to havo been austained. ‘The Court said of course s reasonable time would be given. - Hovw long would he raquire 7 2Ir. Evans said he thought he might ask for twenty days or so. Ar. Shufeldt, for the pLaintitf, oalled the atten- tion of the Court to the fact that a motion to transfer the cause v. the Poople's Company to the United States’ Courta was already before the Court, and had not been passed upon, The Court remembered that such & motion was pending. Mr. Shufeldt pointed ont how the ono defend- ant might be affected by tho removal of the causeas against the other defendant ; and, after further conyersation, the order was made for twenty days to apsywer. THE NATIONAL AND STOCE MUTUAL COMPANIES, In the suits, Contes v. Tho Btock and Mutual Compeny, and the Chamber of Commerco v. The National Insuranco Company, demurzers bad been filed by the defendants, in both cages, claiming that the bills were bad, because they claimed payment under the guarantes already ro- ferred to, The Court said the facts in these cases were substantjally the same, and he thought that the bills made sllegation sufficient to give & Court of Equity jurisdiotion, In theicase of Coates ho conidered that no objection ‘gomld be enter- tained to the rejoinder of the complainants—all these complainants were by right complainants, and all theso defendants were by rights defend- of process of common law; perties should havo thelr quity, 1 it was the onl; plaintiff could obtain r pote. These defendants wera parties who ~were interested in the sfock and the aascts, He thought thero was a defect in the bills, which might tend to bring in another cause of action (namely, the guaranteos of Bowen, Follansbeo & Layton, and of Barker, Follansbeo & Galloway, which were fally ox plained in argument before Judge Porter, and Teported in yesterday'’s TRIBUN: ‘These agroe- ments had nothing to do with the allegations of thepbill, in his judgment, and only csused confa~ sion; thoy appeared to 'be a matter with which these complainants hsd nothing fo do, ‘These agreements were not entered into by the ~ companies with the parties; the complainants were uo parties to them, and haye hed nothing to do with them, It theso parties thought proper to make such an agree- ment gnd pey those debts, it had nothing to do with the domplainants; 1t was & matter with which the compleinanty had no sort of conmes: tion. The defondants' rights wetp fived-—other defendanta than the companies—they held stook in_ the compenies ; their rights cyuld ba Arranged with referenco to this particular agras. ment, [t seemed to the Court that of tho snap. ters pointed onf in the demurrer the bill g4 seem to vaet & et e r 8 agreemen an on thgt ho should ’sustain the Those parts of the bill that referred to monts, and to the dofendants Barker and othors, might be smended. . Again, the complainant wag not bound, in the opinion of the Court, to bring his claimio judgment. Tho corporation Loy ceased todo business, aud the nsuets were in tho hands of the dofendants ; that heing sg, ¢ Taspro or that the parties shoald have u right to take their case to a court of equity ; but { oy should have no right fo bring into the court any other loss. o : 3. Evans asked the permiasion of the Conrt to make a remark as to eflu Receiver, before t)?:t matter was aasod on. The Court would pass on that at once, ‘have reforred to it before, but'it did not ',"1;;:1‘3 to have been pressed parficularly. ¥ Mr. Evans desired to_show cause why 3 Ro. caiver should not bo sppointed. Thara wa. puc; roferred to before, not particularly Prossed, a **Tho Court did ot ses that thare 8 Con not see tha eré was ¢ suficient shown f0r the appointmment of & geivor. Not but that, at somo future time, i Court might ses cause to make the appoint- mont; but the cause had not yet, in his opmie boen shown. Ho euw no immediste ncogsi for tho sppointment at present, althongts 1t ‘might arise at any time, Air. Shufeldt did not press the matter, 2r, Evans ssid that when a judgment, should bo obtained afainst the defendant(National) of course ho well knew it musk bo paid; buthe nover seen how that could be advanced by the 8ppointment of & Receiver. The sppointment would put the company to great ‘expense, would forco on settlements that had never been ogards ground demurrer. the agres- brought to judzment, and do incaloulable injury: previon toall, In ents on this point e had not go mmuch regarded the question of the Jurisdiction of the court, as the expedience of the appointment, the non-necessity for it, and the useless expense that would accompany it. The Court had little doubt as to tho question of jurisdiction. Order gustaining the demurrers in both cases. e — " CHICAGO CHRISTIAN UNION. > Dedication of the West Side Rooms Last Evening.
