JNE TOO SOON. The Intolernble Stemches That Havo Pre vailed at tic City Hall for the Past Three Weeks Accounted for nnd Abolished. The ofiicial occupants of the city building, es- pecially of the quarters pssigned to the Mayor, Corporation Coursel, City Clerk, Comptroller, #nd the Police Department, have, for the space of three weeks, been persecuted by a foe whose fire presence conld nat bo avoided. Mortics and Yale Jocks could not keepthe enomy ont; notices pailed on doors failedto bar its entry; the tivinity that bedges sbout the Mayor was nnre- spected. Day after day the subtle and uncom- promising encmy appeared in these apartments, seattering misery and desolation aronnd ; driviog before it the mazhates of the city as xeadily 23 it exiled the mercepary r-enials who obey their - behests. ‘Those whose duty or inclination hos, furing the past two or three weeks, tempte tem Within the precincts above deseribed, will surmise that ilusion is here made to tie intoler~ able stench which no human capacity of essim- ilation could render endurable, and 5o humen in- genuity euccessfully bar ont. .~ To describe the odor would be impossible. It clung to one's arments in an nnetnous, lonthsome way for ours afier one hod been in the building. It pauscated those who were compelled to tolerate §r, nntil gickness ensucd among the officizls who were subjected Lo its persecutions. ” For three weeks, 28 has beon observed, this state of things has been going on. During that period the Sanitery Superintendent has fre- Quenily been in and out of the Mayor's office, ’has smelled tho atrocious stench, but has failed fo take any action upon it. The Board of Pub- lic Works have been in duy after day, but the smell waa not in their rooms, and, therefore, did Dot concern them. The Mavor boro this con- Gition of affairs with exemplary patience, daily expecting that gome one_of the city officers would do his duty; but Snding no ofiicial atton- . tion paid to if, and being warned by premonitory symptoms that Lis health would stand the poison 1o longer, ho notified the Board of Health.

To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune : Sm: Iamoneof the wholesale trade, doing business in the vicinity of the intersection of Wabash svenue and South Water street. Tho quarter has been well rebuilt, and is fall of heavy stocks in the varions leading lines. Iam also one of those who view with constant un- ensiness the carelcssstorage and exposure of in- cendiary lots of kerosens and_dangerous explo- sive 0ils, which are handled with much the same freedom 83 if they were Porto Rico molasses. The practice of several houses in this locality i tokeep these hazardous casks piled along the wooden sidewalks, and under them, or ranged on theplstformsinthe rear of theirstores, Leakages keep the vicinity of the casks constantly satu- Tated, and resdy to fiash into & conflagrstion st the touch of flame. From such cause & disastrous fire in tho_very heart 0f our best business blocks is always in rendiness for malicions or even careless kindling. . This is 3 subject of uneasiness t0 my neigh- bors as well as myself, and we beliove there are remedies in the statutes for our protection and the protection of the city, if the attention of the authorities can be sufiiciently called to tho subject. It ehould bo unlawful to keep thess oils in the public thoroughfare as a regular place of storage, and yet it 18 done throughout the year, freely, hy Perties in tho trade. "o constant and_sppalling succession of dis- astrons fires with which your daily news columns are loaded, make imperative an increase of cau- tion &t all points of exposure, both in our homes and placos of business. It is not right that millions of dollars of property should be im- perilled iu the heart of tho city, in order to help the easy handling of extra-hazardons commodi- -ties. MERCHANT. S OBITUARY. Among the announcements of the old and ro- spected citizens of Chicago, who bave recently passed away, we find tho death of an excellent and Inte citizen of ourcity chronicled in the New York papers—3L. J. Foley, who died st Atlanicville, Long Tsland, on the 2d instant, at tho ago of 4. Mr. Foloy was recently connected with the house of Hamlin, Hale & Co., and had business relations with the old establishments of Wm. Boss & Co., and that of Ross, Gosaage & Co., where his ubilities snd distinguished meritg were prominent influences in rendering him one of the most populsr gentlemen asso- ciated with the dry goods trade in Chicogo, His genial character and literary educationsl” scquirements, had linked im to s wide circle of appreciafive and de- voted friends, wwho sincerely mourn,_his_loss, in the bright meridisn of his promusing life. In the great, calamitous fire of last year, Mr. Foley and an _only eister wero householders near the Church of tho Holy Name, and, with the balance of the residents ‘in that neighbor- hood, lost everything by tho firo Delicato in health at the time, the terrible physical ex- Daustion he underwent then helped to accelorate the disease that ultimately carried him into eternity,at his late residence in New York. r. Foley was & native of Kerry, Irolnd, and in bis youth was & near neighbor of Lis dist guishéd countryman, Damel O'Connoll. He emigrated to this country over twenty yearsago; and whero he established 8 reputationfor prob- ity, ability, and distinguished commercial capac- ity in the leading honses of New York and Chi- cago that elevated him to be ono of tho most ac- gomplished mon of the timo in his commercial utics. In concoquence of feiling health 3, Foley Jent tozosido by the soa-shore, at Atluntiorillo, in Long Island, fast spring, where he oventually guve up his nscful life in the prime of his man- 00d. His faneral took place in New York last Wednesday, from the residence of his friend, Mr. Conway, on West Forty-ninth street. Dk e The Outrage at Wantingdon, L. fe—A Bespectable Vigilance Committec— Nightly Rows Between Two Face tions. ... . NewYous,Dec.8, The recent investigation into the case of the miszing Charles G. Kelsey, in Huntingdon, L. I., has developed some curious facts. Kelsoy had. been aunoying a young lady of the village, named Julia Smith, by sending her obscene lat- ters. A gang of masked men torred and feath- ered him in a brutal manner. He immedintely after disappeared, and it i3 supposed that ho died or was murdered and his body thrown into the boy. Tt seems that several rich sod respectablo rosidents of the _vil- 20, members of - the First Pres- byterian Church, have been banded into a vigil- ance committeo for some time. Noarly two yeers ago they fawed and feathered another man, who survived. He attempted to bave the suthors of the outrage indicted by the grand ]ux%, ‘but they were to0 powerful, and that body ‘Paid no attention to him. Now that & murder is involved, the other citizens, hesded by Justica Montfort, axe determined to 6top this high-toned Iovleseness. Tho guilty-parties are fighting bitterly against exposure, and the village is the scone of nightly rows between the contending factions. A few days ago Mr. Nelson Samwis, & wealihy shoe desler, doing business in this cify, received sn snonymous note, ordering him £0 leaye town becsase ho is on the side of law and order. Kelssy was o member in good standing of the First Presbyterian Church up to the day of his disappearancs. P A — A BLOODY DEED. An 033 Man Killed With an Infernal Machine. Pittsburgh (Dec. §) Correspondence of the New York Herald. The list of fearful erimos is incrensed by ome that was perpetrated at s very early hour this morning &t the quict village of Eldersyille, in Washington County, on tho Lina of the Pan Handle Railroad. 7TThe victim of the crime is 2 old man, upwards of seventy years of “fi:’ named. Jobn Allingham, who with his old wife have lived for many o year in. contentment and in happi- ness in Eldersvilla, Ho kept s smoll grocery and from hig sales reslized sufficiont to maintain him and his aged partnor in comfort. Last night he closed up his store at an early Xiour, as i tho custom in a quiet villago such a8 this s, and retired to bed.. Some time after midnight Mrs. Allingham was swakened by o dreadful shock, which caused tho plastering to £all from tlio céiling on to tho bed in which she and her husband were gleeping. It was liko the eport of an_old snd rusty musket overloaded and which bad been completely shattered by tho discharge. Her land gsvo her intenso pain at thet moment, and sho discovered at once that ono of ber fingers had been shot sway and that streams of blood wore dyeing her white night- clothes, The terrifiod woman jumped from her bed, and, calling on ‘her husband and receiving 1o fesponse, was almost distracted with Tright. She called ogain, and, gefting no xeply, sgoin _opproachod the bed, and, placing hor injured land npon his head, found that only a portion of it remained, and that his brains and blood were ecattered over the bedclothing and npon the ceiling. An alorm was ab oncs givon, and the meighbors who had not boen Toused from their slamber by the terrific report of tho weapon gathored in brief time into tho apurtment of denth. A light revealed & scene calcalated to freezo tha blood. There, on the bed, which now was stained crimson, lay old Al- linghum, & bloody and diaigured corpso. Helf of hin sleull wae carried awiy, and a piece of it was buried in the opposite wall, whilo his brains wero scooped ont as cleverly and skilfully as if it were the work of an experienced surgeon. The room, which was small, was perfectly strewn with his brains, and blood was splashed high on tho wall opposite to the bed. By this time tho neighborhood had boen coms~ pletely alarmed, and the excited people wero seen bearing lamps from ono house £5 tho other, approaching the acone of the murder. An ox- amination of tho premises rovealed the most ingenious instrnment of doath in the shapo of & pleca of gas or wator pipe, sbous o foot fn langth and with & bore of two inches. The in- buman wretches, whoever they were, delibor- atoly filled this pipe about half full of powder and slugs of tho most deadly description, and, thus prepared for their dostardly doed, wended their way to the old man's home. Dyidently they Imow the exact locetion of his bed, which was an easy matter, for the house was small, its apartments Jimited, and that whero the old cou- plo slept was on thé ground floor, adjoining the Toom devoted to the purposes of the grocery. The deed was most_deliberately planned, and £ull preparations had been mado for its execu- tion. A window, without shutters, and with s comnon calico blind, was affixed in the wall di- rectly opposite tho bed Tho fiend, or fends, zoared s platform in the sard to the hoight o tho window, and upon this they placed the in- strument of destruction. It is possible the exact whereabouts of tho head of their intended victim had been precisoly sscertsined, and_the unique wespon was elevated and levolled with a keen oye. A slow match was then placed to it, and, aftor 8 lapse of & few minutcs, the instru. ‘ment was discharged, hurling itsolf back on the instant nlmost » dozon yards, as if ashamed of the shocking worl it had just performed. Prrrssusaxn, Dec. 6, 1872.—Henry Briceland, a mulatto, and s carpentor by tradc, hos been arrested on suspicion of being the murderer of AMr. Allingham.” Gircumstances are very strong- Iy against bim. Trouble sbout & woman is supposod to have boen the causo of tho deed. A FIGHT FOR FURS. A Feminine Fisticuff in Pittsburgh— A Mill Eetween Two Sisters-ineLawe. From the Pittsburgh Dispatch, Dec. 0. ‘T'wo fashionably dressed women, who bore in features and general appearanco &n ontward re- epectability, attracted o crowd of at least five bundred persons, at Penn avenuo and Sixth street, yesterday afternoon, by a display of inde- pendence and muscle. It was about balf-past 1o'clock, and the streets, although the weath- er was sformy, were well-filled with people. The two met ot the corner of tho thoroughfare. Ono was largo and of particularly fino appesrance, ang dressed with great nestuess, appar- enfly mot over 25 gyears of ago. She woro e large far cape of fho best sable, and catried in hor hand = muf? of the same material, The other was much the smaller, but the prottiest of the two, and was moro plain- 1y dressed, though she would have atiracted at- tontion among & hundred of the usual prome- naders of Fifth avenue, by the goueral nestness of her costumo. _ As the two suddenly came faco to face, there was an instant’s besitation, and then an carnest conversation for two or three mingtes. Finally the littler ono mado a grab for the muff in tho other’s hands, and scemed determined to get it sway from her. Tho lurgo ono held backfor a moment, then planted her fist squarely in the other's faco, sending her resl- ing back and making the blood trickle down from ber pratty littlo noso in s continuous stream, She, hesitating a minuto, seemed o littlo inclined to back out, as tho blow had been witnessed by the bystanders snd o crowd was rapidly collecting, but with s quick, intelligent glanco at the fury, sho changed her intention and went st tho other, and the blows begen to atter about the largo one's ears like peas in & opper. They were returned in good earnest, and o livelier mill than was ever fonght in the prize ing took place in the crowded thorough- fare and in the prosonce of & throng of people, every momont growing larger. Tho little one was not 80 scientific as the other, and went at it 85 if throwing stones, whilo the Jarge one struck out from the shoulder rather awlwardly, but with considersble exccation. One of her right- handers caught in the othor's hrir and down it came, flowing over her shoulders in a tangled mass of rich golden brown, reaching below her waist. This accident seemed to fira hor soul to more nctive mensures, and unhooking & atylish little hand satehel from her belt she belaborod her antagonist with it until tha handle broke off. By this time the fight had continned for upwards of ten minutes, and no effort had been _mado by the spectators toputastop to it. Tho affair was_geiting seriois, howover. The largo wo- man’s feco wes considerably swollen, and one of her ayes gavesigns of going into half-mourning, and the other, though plucky as ever, was cry- ing a little at thoblood which kept dripping down ouher handsomo cloalk. Sho atill kept hold of the large ono's muft, howover, and was ap- perently determined 'to tako sny quantity of unishment before letting it go. At this junc- 5 mon stopped between them, while others caught hold of both and drew_them away from each other. The big one was hustled in the di- rection of the drugstore opposito tho St. Clair Hotel, while tho Httlo one, with the captured muf, sliped avay in the crowd und took rofug in e neighboring clothing establishment. Horo she E_mcaefled to arrango her hair and dress, ery- ing bitterly from mortification all the while. To the proprictor of the storc, though refusing to give her name, she told tho following story, as tho primary causo of tho disreputablo aflray : ¢ other woman Was ler sister-in-law, she €aid, and had never been on good terms with Ter since her marriago to the otber’s brother. Her husbend bad been very fond of her, aad had indulged her in everjthing, letting her dress o good deal better than his sister. Bhe Dad especially wanted a sob_of furs, and Le had puxchesed for her tho valusblo oneh which fhe nrge weman was wearing when the little affair occurred. The sister, howover, was_jealous of her because sho dressed so well, and 'had done everything fo create troublo bebween the hus- band and wife. His ears were poisoned with 50 much cunning that a few montlis ago ho loft ber, and, of all tho precions things, her most precious furs had been taken with him and given to the enemy. Although she was deoply ieved at the husband's defection, she ought sho might bava stood that, but to seo the cause of her trouble flaunting the emblems of her victory on the public strects was too mucn, snd “sho wanted those furs ; that was 2ll.” "As ghe snid this, and canght sight of the muff, her tears dried up like mist in the sun- light, and sho proceeded with tho balance of her toilet with evident satisfacticn, Having pro- cecded in making hersel? presentuble again, 8ho thanked the gentleman for his kindness, and, being allowed to use the rear door for the pur- pose of escaping the curious crowd which atill gered about the scono of the combat, tripped avey sa if nothing had happened.
