HIIE CHIGAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER..i§ NOT YET ENDED. The State Insirance €ompany Mat- | ter Still Before Register Hibbard, Most of Yesterday.Consumed in Arguments by At~ torneys. What Mr. Cameron’s Pariner May be Able to Tell About a Certain ° Book. The case of tho National Loan and Trust Company vs. the State Insurance Company, before Mr. Rogister Hibbard, was resumed yes- terday at 10 o'clock. No witnesses were pres- ent. A petition wes presented by Mr. Cooper praying for the preduction of the books of the National Loan aud Trust Company. Ar. Aser rather objected to considering that point just fhen, \Ur. Gondy being necessarily chsent, engaged 1a & case which might take sev- eral days. A Alr. J. B. Smith was recolled, and said hé had gold to the Nationat Loan and Trust Company policies to the amonnt of $7,000 issued to his ownfirm. He recsived fifteen centsfor them. Ho sold the duc bills to_Mr. Parks abont the 1st of November, and had furnished proofs of loss to the Company. Mr. Elliott had attended to the insurance of Bradner. Smith & Co. after the fire, and probably knew more sbont adjustment, ete., than the witness. He furnished the money at the National Loan and Trust Company’s Bank, against which Air, Van Inwagen drew the checks be gave in payment for the policies he pur- chased. 5 Mr. Goudy then asked fora recess ill 2, in order toenable him to consult what action to take in regard to Mr. Cooper’s petition, which ‘prays for the production of the books, in order %o show that the money used by the bank in the purchase of these policies, really belonged to the Insurance Company, and that the ofiicers of the Insurance Company had pocketed the differ- ence between the emount paid for the policies and the sum belonging to the Company.. It is 2150 nssérted that certain claims purporting to be adjusted in December were in reality adjust- ed in Febroary. ) At the time set for reassembling, }r. Cooper £aid_they wonld like, before considering tho petition, to examine an important witness, rela- tive to the books. i MMr. Goudy-objected to any oral examination, proferring an affidavit. . Mr. Sidney Smith also objected referring to the pefitiu:l,lorw&uytbing tending to raises cide issue, which might consume several days. The Register said if tho claims were purchased in frand, and the bank was a pusty to 1t, ‘it was not a fraud against the policy holders generally. The only guestion was, whether it- extin- guished the claim in bankrupiey. If it did pot, he did not.see the object of the petition, and this was not the place to make the inquiry proposed. Under the order of ref- erence he dis not think it pertinent. If thedebt was extinguished, it was no longer & debt. Mr. Cooper held it was extingunished. The bank had paid & certsin_sum for some policies, of which it now claimed payment. If it really owned ther, the only question would be wheth- er they were valid claims. But, if the bank did not own them, and the profit did not go to it, then the inquiry was pertinent. Somebody had roade & profit. of $226,000. If ' they could ghow from the books that that sam did not go to profits of the stockholders, but went to certan ivate persons, then the iiquiry was pertinent. Eo Tt 3t they showed the profits went to officers of the Insurance Company, and that the money of that Company bongat the claims. . The Register did not see that the testimony recently taken, ehowed that the claims were ex- ed. S Goaper wantod o show that the bask did n0t, and nevar did, own the claims, Mr. Goudy submitted sn_afidavit of Charles Brody, bookkeeper of the bank, to tho effect that certain entries alledged by the petitioner to have been made, had not been mads. _No por- tion of the £261,000 appeared, from the books, to ave been puid over or credited to any corpora- Hion or ingividusl. _ Had there bosn eny such entry deponent would have kmowm it. _ Mr. Goudy swid they were willing to introduce “one scoount, in which it was alleged that altexs- tions had been made, but whick Mr. Goudy dc- nilod was the case, 50 far as materil aliorations ‘went. Tho Register said ho wanted no inquiry 85 to who was tho equitsblo owner_of these claims, but whether the debt was extinguished. A 2r. Van Arman seid the only question was, in what capacity the men who bought up. these claims, whether ss members of the Iusur- &nce Compsny, or of the bank. 'He believed it competent to Show that the present applioant ~was not the owner of the claims. The real ob- ject was to defest the titlo of any one to the claims, snd show that the effect of their purchase by the persons who bought = them, was to work their cancellation. It wes belioved the funds of the Tisurance Company had been used to psy mp these claims, and that was what it was sought to prove. If the officers had done that, it would averk a cancellation, - & 2 Mr. Goudy and Mr. Smith concurred in that. The Register-did not know that it had been aseerted that the specific money of the Company ‘had been uged to buy the claims, *Mr. Cooper said they expected £o prove that the money belonging to the Company was in part paid toJ. B. Smith, and the remainder sent over to the brnk of Geo. C. Smith. His theory was, 28 decided by Judge Blatchford, that the Smxmsu of the claims by the officers of the ‘ompany cancelled them. The Register admitted that to be the law. . Mr. Goudy then presented the deposit ledger of the bank in which the account of the Imsur- snce Company was kept, and it was examined. The Register declined to allow the testimony of experts to be taken as to the condition of the ‘book to would go before the Judge. r. D. R. Cameron, of Cameron & Amberg, a8 examined on bebalf of the creditors. e was asked whether ho did any work, last June, for the Loan and Trust Company. r. Goudy cbjected for irrelevancy, Mr. Cooper s21d Cameron & Amberg had, last’ Juno, taken Bnafiu‘nife out of one of the books of the Leen and Trust Company, resized and re- bound the book, which was the one in which the \ecount of the Insurance Company was kept.- Alr. Cameron said he knew nothing about the matter referred to. It must be Eia partner. There was a charge against the bank for making & change in & book,—what the change was ha did not know. “Mr. Smith seid the matter should be investi- qated. . Gondy said there was no objection. The matter was continued till 10 this morn- STREET RAILWAY NEWS. ‘When track-lering was begun by the South Side Railway Company on Clark street, a fow weeks ago, it was anticipated by many persons that cars would be running in & few days. Re- cent developments, however, will banish all stch enticipations, and it is probeble that no cars will be operated on that street until the middle of next March. The track-laying was done not with the intention of running upon it, but to. gatisfy the provisions of the Company's charter ‘hich compelled them to lay the track within & certain time. Most of the frack laid down will have to be removed in the Epring, becauso ‘the raising of the grade of Clark and the laying sposed block pavement have only completed. & Side Company, with their usual we, however, perfected arrange- , when travel is began on Clark iakeits great street railway thor- ‘hen the Rock Island .Railroad -agved from Cl-rk street the Com- nd its line from Twelfth, on Clark sond street, and cars will bo run it, by the way of Clark street, to Cars will be run through over 1the State strest, Indiana avenue * irove lines, by way of Twelfth to m;un{ resse .ill make Clark street the gflzgt treet railway thoroughfare of the city. 8 lan will go into operation about next May, and ill add much to the convenience of North and Bouth ‘Evidacxgsg%x:& ~The West Bi mpany expected to;operate the Wells street line about the 1st of mext onthk, but, upon remqving the debris from the 0 befora the Judge, since the book" track, perts of it was found out of gauge and unfit foruse.

It was oncé the property of the famous riever, Rob Roy. - But for the meagre collection of reliablo local nows in the Times of yesterday, no one in Chi- cago, exc;pt the newsboys, would have known that the Journal of the previous evening failed " to print more than s few hundred papors, owing to an accident to its press. Even the nowsboys would not have missed the *old reliablo” re- print, but for the fact that they went to their wrotched homes on Monday evening with more then the usual quantity of pennies in their pockets, and less than the usual number of Journals under their erms. - The criminally reckless manner in which somo pemsona drive on our principal thoroughfazes was exemplified in the West Division last even- ing. Mr.John Desmond,a compositor in tho otice of the Tnter-Ocean, while crossing Adams street, mear his residence, wasrun into bya horze and buggy which came dashing around the corner of Desplaines street, and was thrown sevoral feet by the force of the collision, Ho was rendored almost insensiblo by the fell, and sustained eoveral severe injuries.

The Mayor received o dolefnl letter.from Wonewoe, Wis., yesterdsy. It was signed by fourteen men, who had been sent from Chicago to_that place by an immigrant runner, to ob- tain_employment on s tunnel constructing for 8 railroad. Their services were not nceded, and they believed they had been swindled, None of them bad_any money, and, being unsblo to rocure employment of any kind, they desired - to know how they could get back to this city. The Mayor sent out Omicer Bilver, of his staff, to hunt up the immigrant runner, end 'ho Soon found him. Tho man said he had received passes for the laborers from a clerk of Fox & Leib, contractors for the tun- xel, and had sent them on their way, believing the firm neoded them at the tunnel. Fox & Leib discleimed any knowledge of the issuance of the passes; they had not authorized it; and know nothing of the engagement of the men. When told of the destitute condition of the lsborers, they agreed to pay their expenses back to Chi- cago. - The immigrant runner, who is uniike others of his ilk, expressed sorTow at tho mie- take, and said he would return the fees he re- ceived from the men. The result was . tele- Eraybefl to Wonewpo, and the laborers aro oubtlesa happy, ceremony which' will permit her to bogin’ COUNTY. MATTERS. Meeting of the Commissionérs--- Another @pportunity Given Ridders. Communication from J. P. Root on the Subject of Revising the Revenue Law, How to Facilitate the Collection “of the Taxes. i Tho County Commissioners mich yesterday President Miller in the chair, and present, Com- ‘miesioners Bogue, Clough, Herrison, Herting, Jones, Lonergan, Pahlman, Haris, Ruseell, Singer, and Crawford. Tho minutes wers ap- proved. Tho special order was THE OPENING OF BIDS. Mr. Harrison said the bids wero not adver~ tised five, dzys as the regulation of the Board required. He moved that the Clerk be in- structod to advertise for fivo days, that the bids be not t:ganefi until five days after tho publica- tion of the iast advertisement, and that the bids nl.rfizugy in be withdrawn. The motion pre- vailed: THE REVENUE LAW. ¢ . The County Attorney submitted the follow- ing: As tho Revenuo Jaw is the only means afforded the. county for collecting its revenuo, it becomes fmpor. tant for tho Board to consider such changes in tho law: a5 will facilitato tho colloction of the taxes, with tho view of having such changes made, Whilo the act pseed ot the last sesslon may bo' sdequato in most of ho counties in the Siate, it is _open o many objoc: tions when applied fo a county with a populition of 400,000, 2 'THE MODT OF EXTENDING THE COUNTY TAX. The old lzw provided that the State tax should bo ox- tended on the cqualization made by the Stato Board, and tho county tax on tho equalization by tho County Board, The luw now provides that all taxes ehall Lo extonded on the Stato Equalization, The result of this is that if the county shouid desiro to increaso its reve- aue, and for this purpose the valuation is increased, the State tax will bo increased in the ssme proportion, thus compelling tho county to pay the State o premium for tho privilege of incrousing itd own revenue, Ican discover 1o good reason why tho local taxes shonld bo 1 measure of our obligations to tho Stuto. . Thero aro ouly three modus provided for ralsing county ovenue: First—A toxof T3¢ milia on tho doliar on the assessed value, this being tho limit of the Constitution, but a groatér tax may bo imposed when authorized by a voto of tho peoplo. : Second—By borrowing mencs; but ta this cse thoro!s o limit in the Constitution to 5 per ént on the nesessod_value, including prescat indebtedness, and when the indebtedness is incurred, provision must be mado out of tho abovo tax to pay tho inter- est, and_provide n sinking fund which will pay tho indebtednoss in twenty yeare. Tlhird—A tax, without Lmit 03 to amount, for tho purposo of paying indcbtednoss, cxlsting ot the timo of the adoption of tho new Constitution. This fund, Rowever, cannos bo diverted to any other purposc. The new Constitution is adspted to a county out of debt, with ite public buildings comploted, but its Testrictions aro very oncrous on o county whose ublic buildings are ell destroyod. If, then, tho EW Ccan b 80 changed that 'the. fomm ty rovenuo ean bo incrossed tithout psy- ing tho State 100 per cent for the privilege, and provi- slons mads for the machinory of en elcction at which tho question of o _greater tax can bo submitted toa vote, very much will have been nccomplished toward helping tho county to means with which to rebuild the public bulldings. No liw now exists whereby the Gon- stitutional provision in Tegard to a vote of tho people can bo carried out. COUNTY ASSESSOR OB TAY COMMISSIONER. The description of lots'or lands in the County of Cook, o5 shown by the Asgessor’s books, fills seventys fivo volumes, record size, In the prepafation of theso ‘Dooks the gréatest carois required. Subdivisions aro be- ing mado dally, very much of tho property is intersccted by railrosds and disgonal streets, ond to obtain sod continue the descriptions correctly requircs great slall and sccuracy. According to the present system, it 1 impossibla o orrive at accuracy, Thereis no central offico whore the Town AssesSor can consult maps and plats, The clerk Is in the habit of copying the lists from the old lists, and so mistokes run through o Beries of yoars. When objectidn is made to judgment on account of erroncous description, thero 18 10 one to follow up the matter =nd mako tho correction on the next year's list, 1n 1870, ono of the outsido tovns in this county lost over $10,000 by reason of imperfect Qescriptions. Thero aro in the Conntyof Cook thirty-two Town Assessors, each acting on his own construction of tho 1aw, 5o 0 various towns thero is Do uniformi- £y of action and no provision for reviewing tho detalla of thoir work, Manyof them return their books thousands of dollars out of balance. The Iaw provides that_persons intorested may appear before the Town Board and have errors correcicd, Ono dsy is mot onough, and the result is the County Board havo hundreds of caes o disposo of in correcting mistakes and making relate. To tho cxtent of such rebate tho county and State loses its revenue, to ey nothing of the timo occupied by the Board and its Committea in dolng tho work, Besides tho Board is not always ad- vised of the esact facts, and i liable to and in _other \pOS remedy ail these diffcultics & Tax Commissioner or County As- sessor should bo appointed—charged with tho gengral supervision of the nsscsement and the_corroctnoss of description. The Town Assessors moy return thelr Dooks to him ot footed and then 30 days’ timo should bo given within which the public can have correctiors ‘made, after which-tho books can be footod ap, proven, and Laid before the County Board for equilizztion, Then tho tax 15 extended on the corrected list and thousands of dollars saved to tho._counts. Tho Tox. Commisaionar should bo provided with accurato maps’ showing the characler of ell improvements. The Town Asressors very often assess Improvements when in fact thero aro none. And thero is now 1o uniform principle of action amorg the Ascessors. EXTENDING THE .

Adjourned until Monday. —_— AMUSENENTS, ¢ JULTOS CZSAR ™ AT ATREN'S THEATRE. The performance of *Julius Cmsar” at Aiken’s Thentre continues to excite an unusal degreo of public interest, tho audience last evening being still larger than thet which was present on Monday night ; and the more rapid and emooth movement of tho pisce, as woll as the more thorough memorizing of their parts by the various actors, furthor confirm the good im- pressions of tho fitst presentation, - Increased fomiliarity with the handling of the elaborate stage appliances will work a still greater im- provement. Nothing g0 voluminous in the way’ of scenic appointments has ever befors been accomplished in thelegitimate drama in Chiosgo, and in this respect alone the production of “Julius Cmsar” deserves an extended scason of remunerative patronage. The stage at Aiken's, being one of - the lergest in the ety i5 edmirgbly adapted to grand scenic successes, and in this in: stance the most has been made of the advan- tages at command. For each of thesix acts'of the tragedy a_separate -and distinct scéno has been provided, each- covering the entire stage, and each ag complete and perfect in detail as though the resources: of the establishment had Painting and_ stage carpontry, as is- often tho case now-n-days, ‘The set in Act 1. represents o public street in Romo, with the massive struc- tures of the Lternal City in the distance ; in Act IL, the garden and orchard adjoining Brufus' house ; in Act-III., the Senate Chamber of the Capitol, the Benators® seats arranged in amphi- theatrical form, confronting tha throne of state, in the rear of which stands Pompey's statue ; in Act IV.,. the forum.of the’ Capitol; in Act V., the interior of DBrutus = tont;. in Act VI, the plains ‘and Dbattlo field of Philippi. The finest of the sets arethoso in the firat, second, fourth, and fifth acts, thongh it would be difficult to suggest improvement in any direction. Especial attention has also been paid ts the costumes, which, in the main, are uni~ form snd appropriste. There aro, however, among-the minor members of the cast some nafligences of make-up which need amending. n the s\sfpo:t of Mr. Barrett by the com- pany, Mr. Mordaunt is entitled to the foremost placo of excollence. At his first appearanco oc- casional hesitancy as to his lives somowhat im- ‘paired bis reading oud action, but this was not ihe oaso last evening, when his rendition showed much improvement. In manner snd physique e is well fitted to poriray the l?iutm'a of the grovo, sedato, unimpassioned Srulus, and Lia ebit of slow snd dignified- delivery helps .to complete tho impersouation of the dignified Romsn. This pecaliarity is also made " to- gerve an offective purpose in the soliloquy in the sec- ond act, which he gives in slow and itregular ut- terance—in s contemplative, thoughtful mood, and with no attempt at declamstion. The words are spoken asif they came tardily to his tongue; not rattled off like a set speech. . His semblance ‘of grief o learning of the- suicide of 'his wife way tender end touching, and not overdone; while his gentleness toward the &leoping boy in tho tent scone was-a meat bit of acting., Mr. Lavlor, as Marc. Anfony, is powerfal and ef- Teotive in the main, though bis clocution in the funeral oration needs a little touching up, His frequent roferonces . to Brulus as “an honorable man,” lack the oclear tinge of sarcasm which the words imply. With these exceptions, .the role is strongly and evenly bandled. Not much need be said of the Forlia of Mrs. Lanagan or the Calphurnia of Miss Rudeliffe, though the former might Eren{!yi 4 rove her briof opportunities by adopting, in er interview with Drutus, s tone and manner moro like that of a loving, auxious wife, andless like that which is commonly introduced in & good, square cartain lecture. - Tho parts of Ser- vius and Lucius are prettily taken by Miss Ada Gilman and Miss Mollie Maedor, the latier's sleopy song in thio tent scene being nicely given, Here & word to Mr. Bichl. ‘The accompaniment to this.song should be & guitar, instead of o violin played pizzicalo. Mr. Desne makes of Cesar & most mild-mannered monarch, with an unhappy thicknoss of speech, though he looks the nguc quite woll. As Casca, Mr, Pierco is neither notably good nor especially bad. The other portions of the cast are sufliciently capablo to carry the piece aloni without serious inter- ruption. To sum up all that relates to the man- nerin which “Julius Cesar” is performed ab Aiken’s, it can be truly said_that tho production is magnificent success, aad_thero is not 3 man or woman in_Chicago capablo of appreciating ouo of the grandest a8 ever enacted who should fail to attend before the piece is with~ drawn. Botter and better is the verdict concerning Ar, Barrett's Cassius, which needs to be seen a second time in order to discover tho consum- mate perfeotion of the impersonation, and there aro'those so far gone with admiration and en- thusinsm as to secure gents for overy night of tho week. Itisono of the greatest histrionic triumphs of the day. 3OSCELLANEOTS. The sale of seats for the Charlotte Cushman engagoment at MoVicker's begins af the box office this morning. Jano Coombs 8s Pauling in the “Lady ' of Lyons” continues to draw fair houses at Mc- Vicker's, “Fun” ot Hooley’s proves to be & decided hit.

The Treasurer of a Trades Union in Trouble ~Evanston Has a Divorce Suits- General Notes. The most famous swindlers in the great North- ‘weat were yesterday consigned to thoss peaceful shades whore'the wicked ceaso from troubling 2nd tho thieves are mado to rest, namely, the County Jail, there to await the sentence of the Criminal Court; being yesterdsy found guilty, by & jury of twelve men and true, of swindling, after unheard of efforts on tho part of connsel, after the attempted subornation of witnesses, ena s frustrated treaty to bribe parties whose evidence was' material to tho prosecution. . The evidence. .showed that the prisoners were -in the - habit of . advertising - businesses, partnerships, and so forth, produc- ing fraudulent accounts, statemonts, zud books, to show o state of affairs which the truth did not warrant, ond thus induting parties to ‘make heavy investments, which, of course, turned out so much value thrown into Lake -Michigan. Numberless times did the trick succeed; vain were all efforts to have them convicted. They havo probably accumulated alarge sum of money by their swindling;" thoy have been in- dicted over and over again; but no indictment everfound against ther could be carried through fo tho end, and they have walked the . Jand.as secure and unmolested - as ‘the most honest, although distrusted by every one ‘who Inew them. In the-present instance, the prose- cutor was Androw Bennett, aud although at one timo ha seomed to have dissppeared, and the prosceation to have again come to an end, yet theright kind: of evidence was. obtained, the trial was put through relentlessly, and the_jury s0on brought in a verdict finding the defendants guilty on all the counts of the indictment. Such & sensation hus not been produced among the, polico, detectives, and legal ciroles, since the murder of Policeran 0'Meara. The counsel for the defendsnts immedistely spproached the bench, 2and - conferred -for a .long time with His Honor in -2 Iow tome of voice, ‘snd the conference was - mb longth interrupted by His Honor calling out that his elf-reapect, and regiard for his place o the ‘bench would -not permit him to hear -any such considerations as were being offered to him, and that he should treat this cae just as he would eny other ; he should sentence the prisoners at the usual time, and meanwhile they should go to jail. A little bird has whispered to the law reporter that tho lawyers were urging His Honor to Jet the thieves off with an hour or 80 of im- prisonment in considoration of their families, and their now boing in & “legitimete” way of business, making it up:by & heavier fine; but they showed & most remarkable ignoranco of the determined and eminently legal mind of Judge Rogers when they 80 .approached him; ho indignantly refused. The fine is $100, end the term of imprisonmentnot to exceed six months. The punishment is slight,.but it is unishment, and the evil charm which_seems to s ‘protected the rascalsis effectually broken. A GOOD-* UNION " MAX IN TROUBLE. Were it not that gontlemen who .are painted blecker than Beelzebub in the bill of complaint frequently turn out in the snswer to be whiter and purer and. fairer than the whitest and urest and fairest lilies, one would consider rother James Dennen, the Treasurer of the fraternal and united order of American Brick-. leyors (called American, by-the-bye, bacause the members are px—imipfl.lgr foreifinars) a con- summate villain snd scoundrel. He is charged with havin nppm‘frinad to his own use 3972.87 funds of the united brother- of the hard-earne: 1y brickleyers, with having deposited the samo in his own neme in the Mechanics’ Building Association, and with having acknowledged that e stole the money, and neither would nor conld giveit up.

Paul Railway Company have expended over £55,000 in buildings in this . city,. The new freight house, almost completed, located on the block bounded by North Halsted street on the west, Carroll on the north, Union on the east, and Waymen on'the south, is the finesf building of its kind in the city. Itia 70 feek wide by 420. feet long, and is built of Milwaukee brick, with white stone trimmings. The ‘xoof is supported by a combination truss. The rafters ars of wood and the tie rods of wrought iron, making a very light and secure frame-worl This frame- work is covered: with glate, resting on roofing- felt. There are twelve openings on each side of piece, and cased- with -iron, and - are mede to slide up, being hung with . counter ‘weights, attached to ropes of copper-wire., At the east end of the building there are offices for. freight agents and conductors of freight trains. These are finished in black walnut, and provided with handsome furniture. The building is per- fectly fire-proof, and complete in every part. On the north side of the_ building is & switch-yard, all the tracks of which will connect with” the main line on Kinzie street, near Sangamon. Itis the intention of the Company to erect; early noxt spring, snother large out-froight house, on the east side of Union street, thus completing facilities for the transfer of freight unexcelled in the city. s The turn-tables and round-houses of this road are boing constructed on ground a hittle west of the corner of Western avenue and Kinzie street. The buildings are- of Milwaukee brick, resting upon stone foundations. Tho roofs are of slate, and are supported on iron trusses. The build- ings now being constructed will only accommo- date tho company until spring, when they will e::flfa ranother round-house containing twelve stalls, ‘Water will be conducted from the city water mains, through pipes 1aid by the company, to all ports of these buildings, thus affording an abundant supply for the usa. of en- gx;xea. These buildings were begun late. t gpring and have been' urged to completion- with great aneriy and enterpise. ‘The contract for the work of the road within the city limits, including ‘the erection of all build- ings, tho laying down of street crossings, and tho razing of houses on tho surveyed routo of the road, is under the immediate charge of Messrs. Harrison & Green, of Milwankee, This firm also constructed the heavy portion of the Milwankee & St. Paul Road from the depot grounds in Milwaukee to Racine. - - . It is the intention of the Company that noth- - ing shall prevent their immediate completion of the track within the city limits, and to this end they have decided that they will resort to severs ‘measures if parties rofuse to give them the right of way. Several buildings were razed last Sun- day, tho owners of .which have been much an- gered thereby, and have sought rodress in the courts. NOTES FROM OTHER EOADS.
