\ 12 = THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1873 A THEATRIGAL [NTRIGUE. | Weod’s Musenm in the €Cireait Court, in a Biil for Eajunction. Reminseenczs from the Ante-Fire | Theairical History of Chicare, Extraordinary Way.of Getting Up Evi- de..ce to Sue a Proprietor. Abill for injunction was filed, yesterday, in the Cireuit Court, which we give with more than usuel fulness. Henry Fuller, the complainant, ffirms that during 1869 heowned and carried on the theatre known a8 Wood's Museum, on Ran- Qolph street, but disposed of it about tho 1st of August in that year to Frank E. Ailen. That John Z. Little was on the 10th of March, 1859, employed in id theatre at & salary of $30 per weok, which he received in full, every Saturday night, np to the day of the sale to Aken, es aforeseid. That after the lst of August, Little organized & dramatic company to give dramatic represcntations in difforent parts of the conatry on his own acconnt, Fuller having nothing whatever to do with tho enterprise, having no interest therein, and knowing nothing about them except as Learsay. TIn the January term of 1870, Little commenced n action in assumpsit against Fuller in the Cir- cnit Court, upon an alleged special contract by Fuller to employ him as stage manager of his said theatre, for one year from July 4, 1869, at aselary of $30per week, until Ang. 1, 1869 and 800 per weelk after that dato during said term. Iesuc was joined in the ceuse by defend- nt plesding non-assumpsit, end a release given £ug. 1, 1869, and tho ceube was tried in April, 1871, befors a jury, who rendered s verdict against said defendant for $2,830, upon which a judgment was rendered about the 25th of that onth. Euller affirms in this® bill that such judgment vas procnred by fraud and false swearing on the part of Little, who was the only witness upon £2id trial who testified to the alleged clploy- ment ; and that, never suspectisg that ho would “testify to sny matter o falso, his counsel was taken utterly by suprise when the evidence went to the jury, and was unable to rebut the testi- 1mony, although he had a good @efence to any- thing but sach swearing a8 thet. In consequence of Taller being engeged about other business affairs at the M useum during the time he owned it, affairs wero chiefly managed by Mr. Jowell, Lis bookkceper. It appears that Little was at the same time advertizing in the New York Clipper and New York Sporting Times for cctors for this theatre, and corresponding with the re~ spondents to the advertisements, well knowing that Fuller was toobusy to watch hismovements ; euch correspondence being without Fuller's knowledge or eenction, was afterwards produced st the trial in evidence of Little's engagemont st doublo wages from tho timo when ho actually left the complainaut’s employment,—the first intimation Fuller receiv- ing of anything of the kind being when the cause had actnally gono to trial, and the correspond- ence was produced; and an additional reason for not euspecting the existence of such corre- spondence, was that such mattors belonged ex= clusively to the office of tho business manager. Among this *manufactured testimony” was a letter from .J. B. Everham, requestingan en- engagement, said Everham being at tho very time (June 28, 1869,) in complainant's employ, snd meeting Little every day at rehearsal, which complainant coneiders good proof of the improp- erobject of tho defendent in entering upon ench correspondence. Complanant made in- quiries, siter the trial, as to the writers of the leiters referred to, and now afirms ¢hai some of tho correspondence was written long after the assumpsit suit had been com- menced, and necessarily for the solo_purpose of being produced as ovidence. Thers was no evidence of tho allogod contrack in writing. Since the trial, complainant has also_discovered that Jonathan W. Rico, of Berrien County, Iich., ras in » room near the entrance to the usewm on one occasion when Little banded him a letter from an ector or actress jn New York respecting sn_engagement, and heard Faller distinctly tell Little that ho shonld mako 1o engagements, a5 ho would closo the Museum, “ag he, Little, knew,” on Aug. 1, snd that Le end Jewell wore not comptent to run it; and, again, after conversation of the ssmo character, which is set out, that he shoul certaicly _close, ‘a8 he had all along told” ~Little. In further proof that Little was aware of the uselessness of pressing for another engagement, and of the existing ore being at an end, Rice will swear that he hoerd Little making proposals to an actress to become one of a mnew company hoe intended starting with after the close of the Musenm; and testimony has also been discovered to the eflect that Little had avorwed to his friends that e was “out in the cold, and bad no engago- ment;” all of which came to the knowledge of Abe complainant, by slow degrees, after the trial. ‘Whereforo, Lo prays that Little and Sheriff bo - restrained selling Teal estate which the latter has seized in satisfaction of the judgment under tho restored record entered since tho fire, which record was_restored without the knowledge of tho complainant, snd that the rights of tho partics be decided in chancery. SUBURBAN NEWS. EVANSTON. Dr. Francis D. Hemenway, of the Garrett Biblical Institute, lectured bofore the young la- dies of the college on Hymus.” Had the lec- ture been on “‘hims,” the fair msses could not have given the epeaker a moro flattering com- pliment than their attention and interest paid. If tho young ladies urderstood ““himology " as well 23 they ought to understand * hymnology,” woe to the men. The Adelphic Society held ,its regular weekly meeting in the University Hall, on Friday even- ing. Their hall was well filled, and tho exer- cises instructing. They were opened by Mr. Elliswood with a declamation. The regular de- tato beiné noxt in order, was_participated in by Messrs. Hudson, Wheeler, and Mies fiemingmn, inbehalf of the aflirmative, and Messrs. Burke, Gitbs, and Miss Parks, for the neg- ative. Tho question “Should the Capital of the United States be Removed to BSome Central Point. on the Mississippi River ?" was, after o longthy discussio decided iy the pegative. A declamation by Mr. Hilton, an ora- tion by Mr. McPherrin, and a reading by Mr. Frank Scott, closed the exercises. A pleasing feature of the entertsinment was music by a string band composed of membiers of tho society- mme Hinmane assembled in their holl and went ough the following programme in a verycred- itable manner : nudx%g, Mr. Cassidy ; e ations, Messrs, Coleman and Butterfield ; ora- tors, Messrs Fowler, Beatty, and Bates.'

Louice Litke, in The Thrice-Enjoined Calumet Feeder Dam Again Giving Trouble, The Mill-Owners, Having Restrained the Further Tearing Down of the Dam, are Now Build- ing It Up. And Those Who Were Resirained from Tearing Down Have Kow Re- strained the Building Up. The owners of the mill at Calumot dsm having procared an injunction sestraining the tearing down of that mueh litigated piece of architecturo, “elleging that workmen were about to commit that rminous work, Catherine J, Faurchild yesterdsy procured an injnrction restraining tho repuiring and rebuilding of such dam by the owners of the mill, alleging that workmen wero abont to put up agein that which the other work- men bad just pulled down- This new cowplainant aflirms that, since" the 1et day of lest June, she hus been the owner of & pieco of ground bordering on the Calumet River valued at 216,000, which lies above the natural and ordinary lovel of the eaid river, and drained into tho river, leaving dry arablo lands, susceptible of cultivation, and in s condition to bear largo and profit- able crops. That, by the construction of said dam, tho waters of aid river were raised eight feot above the' naturil level, in conse- quence of which the flow of water from com- Plainant’s property hes ever sinco been arrested, tho land flooded, the soil rendersd * soggy” and unfit for caltivation, by ell of which the complainant has, for s series of years, lost the uso of snid property. Complainant represonts that the dam was intended as & tomporary expe- dient to supply water for the Summit Lovel of the Tllinois & Michigan Canal, until the canal should be comploted end fully supplied with water from Lako Michigan, through tho Chicago River; that thodecp cut of said level was fin- ished in 1871, sinco which time the said dem and feeder have not been used for the purposes for which they wore constructed, nor for any pur- pose, on the part of the State of Illinois or the Canel Commissioners, and that, on the 13th and 14th of March, 1872, the following joint resolu- tion was adopted by the Logislature of the Stato of Tlinois : ‘WaEREAS, The completion of the decp cut in the Ili< nots & Michigan Canal obviates the necessity of con- tinuing the dam which hcs heretofore made the Calu- met feeder to said canal; and WHEREAS, Said dam has for years caused an over- flow of large tracts of land in the Counties of Lake and Porter, in the State of Indiana; and WHERI The Governor of Indiana has sent a com- munication to the General Assembly, roquesting the removal of sald dam anc % ‘WaEeREAS, Justice and good comity to our neighbor- 1ing State of Indiana, to which the State of Illinois feels under deep obligation for ita courtesy and kiudness in tting the consiruction and continuance of said ‘dam, demand its removal; thercfore Resolred, By the Scuate, the House conctrring here- 1n, that the Canal Commissioners are hereby instructed mel:‘ue the removal of sald dam without unnecessary 5 The complainant procecds to ehow .that the Canal Commiseioners have, in_accordance with the above authorization, from timo to time pro- ceeded with tho demolition of the dam, and have thereby elready considerably lowered tho level of the water, but not to tho natural river lovel. The injunction recently granted, restraining tho work of demalition, on {he petition of Pleifler and Roll, in this Court, a8 fuily reported in THE Tamyxeat the time, i noxt reierred to, the complainant affirming that eaid Pfeiffer and Roll claim right to water from tho dam undera Jeaso thereof, granted by the Trustees of the Canal, which leaso, tho complainant alleges, the Trustees had no lawful power to make, snd which is void on that account. It is noxt stated that Pfeiffer and Roll are engaged in rebuilding the work pulled down by tho Commissioners, and that with the restoration of the recon lovel the drainage of all the complainant's land will be again arrested, and abont forty acres overflowed ; and. in addition to this, the water will overflow other property in the County of Cook tothe extent of £1,000 ncres, slop’ the drainage of far more, ond render land that would otherwise bedryand valuablo, swampy, “ goggy,” and unfit for cultivation, besides proj- udicing the health of the inhsbitants of the couaty by noxious and pestilential oxhalations that will arise from said swamps. Finally, that despite ell these certain disndvantages, said Pfeiffer & Roll Lave made no offors of compen- gation, but aro proceeding, and declare their ia- tention to proceed with tho work of restoration, and conscquent destruction. Whereforo, com- plainant prays that said dam may be declared s public nuisance, that it bo abated, and that the defendonts meanwhile be restrained from pro- cceding with the work of reconstruction. George Holt, vesterdny, commenced_ suits against J. W. Roberis, Lowis Lull, and Elmer Washburn, in_trespass, laying the damages at £5,000. The declareiion affirms that tho de- fendants broke into tho rooms of the com- plainant, at No. 20 Arcado court, on the 5th inst., Temaining in poseession, to the oxclusion of tho complainant, for two daye, forcing and breaking open and damaging two doors and ouo table, valued ot §200, and taking away one tuble, and two long tables, of tho velue of $100. A RELIC SOMEZ THOUSAND YEARS OLD. A few days eince, a resident of the South Di- vision in making an excavation in the prairie, at Thirtieth strect, unearthed, at a distance of seven feot below the surface, s fragment of bono and a small chip of wood. The medical savans find no difficulty in discovering that the former is the lower extremity of a humsn thigh-bone, end the chip is unmistakably cedar. Both bear the marks of a eharp instrument, and each is sbout the size of & picco of chalk. We like to be dofinito. on ecientific sub- jects. Theso relics of long ngo aro gent to us for an oxplanation.” Of course e cannot refuse it. Wo cannot but beliovo that these fragments antedato by somo centuries the Christian era. Indecd, we challengo the au- thoritics to shiow that they do not belong to the Darwinian period, in tho first dawning of car- pentry, when some ape of o follow cut his leg with an adze while chopping cedar. . We point triumphantly to the chips of both materials. Perbaps ho Mlm:;‘f:-‘x" to the lost tribes on their way down from Beliring's Straits to Buffalo, and was culting kindling wood. Very justifiable in him, if his party struck such a winter ss we have just found at tho hoad of this lake. Happy fellow, but for this Incklesschop. Ho wasn't troubled with Credit Mobilier matters, Ho did not have any grief over the Board of Police. He never dreamod that the precise spot of ground where he cut_his leg would ever ecll for $100 a foot. Let us hope that he is happy, and. a8 we aro snious to turn epirituslism to soma account, why won't ho thump out a fall etatement of his tronbles at somo of these tabla geances sbout town. We particalarly desire to know whether bo came down over the Northern Pacific route, what he ‘koew sbout Si. Lonis end HMilwaukee, and whether, whon he left hig two chips of bone and cedar, he rode off on & tame Megatherinm, or took boat for BufTalo. Wo regret that our research leaves so maay goinh! ungettled, but that is tho object of =il uman science after all, to point out just what we don’t know, and give forco to the doubt of its ever being cloared up.

The questich of transportation Esatward, more espocially during the winter months when the carriage facilities for tho products of tne West aro restricted to the railroads, is assuming great importance snd attracting more goneral attontion than ever before. Tho winter now possing away has demonstrated boyond perad- venture that tho carrying capacity of the various® railroads leading Eastward are not sufficient to accommodate the trafiic of the Northwest. Ship- pars of all descriptions of produce have cxperi- enced untold inconvenienco, besides loss of time, moncy, and business, in not being ablo to send. consighmonts forward, and. in_meny instances, orders originallv sentto this_market havo been withdrawn and sent to other cities to be filled, all owing to the fact that our trunk lines had mot the facilities for aottending to the business offered thom. An increaso in the rolling stock of the various roads, if mot sdditional tracks or lines of railroad, is very much needed, and must gsooner or later be hiad, and the sooner it i brought about the better it will be for Chicago &nd the Northwest in goneral. _ Another thing that is wanting in this connec- tion 15 despatch in transportation. Many times during the present winter there has been a gen- eral accumulation ‘of Esstern bound freight at Detroit—sometimes s many _as 200_or 300 losded ears—on account of tho impessable con- dition of the bridge over the Detroit River. Somo time ago a remedy for this evil was inaug- urated by stiempting a tunnel ander tho rivor, but this project seems very doubtful of suceéss, on account of the quickeand and other untun- nellable composition of the carth. Resolutions looking to tho erection of a suitable bridge over this river were offered on_'Change to-day, and willcome up before the full Board on Monday. In the meantime, tho subject should be consid- ered well by all, 1sitisof greatimportanceto the entire West. Tho resolutions will be found in encther column. There was'a very fair business transacted in the grain markets on Saturday, and on wheat, corn, and barley an appreciation is to bo noted, whils oats and rye wore steady and firm at yes- terday's prices, . Eastern_snd forcign advices were vrithout importaut alteration, and tho bet- tor fecling was entirely due to bome influencos.

Thooutgo of hog products for the week was very largo, and was 1t possible to obtain transportation, snd mouey, would undoubtedly bave beon much larger, Bat the fact is, our railroads leading South and Bast aro inndequato to our continually growing trads, while the amount of valusblo capitsl for use in this branch is below prosent wents.

The interest of the provision trado of the wholo country is now di- rected to Chiczgo. If our supplics of hogs begin to fail we must stop work, for our houses are now of such magnitude that it would not pay them to continue open unless fully employed. The market price of hogs, also, bas edvanced 82 materially that packers know that, instead of thero being any profit, there isa di- rect loss in packing. y ‘Our heaviest packers ore talking of closing up,andit would not surprise us if ti: cioso of the coming week should inaugurate the closicg up of the general pack- ing here.~ Of course some houses will be kept open 1ill the very latest moment, but when the lurge houses quit work the accounts might as well be closed, Flour wes ve.y dull st nominally unchanged prices. The stocks are limited, thongh the re- Ceintr and shipments fu:_the week show a very liberal movement in this commodity. These figures, however, do not correctly represent the trado st this point. Much of tha: rcported shipped is mot unioaded here ot all, merely transferred to one of the trank lines. Eastern &nd Southern buyers buy lergely at tho mills, thus eaving commissions, and racilitating ship- Toeuts—when thay can get cars.

Spot. wheat was quiet. Shippers complain that the margin between here cnd New York would necessitate the payment by them of mbout 6o por bushel for the priviloge of shipping, and also that it is no use for thom to try to operate, because they cantot get cars to carry their prop- erty to o consumptive market. Laatern advices wero unfavorablo, lower prices being quoted, but the bulls and bears st this point paid no at- tention to ontside markets; those who have been buying for o fow days past wanted to_re- lieve themsclves of part of tkeir burden, and put tie merket up in epito of the bears, though prices were subject to npumerous fluctuations, and it was a good day for the “scalping” fraternity, who, by the way, are largoly represented in the wheat deal, The heavy weights ars on the bear side now, the supposition being that largs receipts will be the rule honceforward, now that the snow-blockzde is fully removed, The partial fuiluro of tho, winter wheat crop, however, will 8oon exert an influence on our merket, the home demand for spring wheat by millers baing in ex- cess of former scasons. Somo argue that the amount of wheat in first hands_has been largely over-estimated, whilo some_others aro quite a8 poeitive that tho country is *full of wheat.” Sellor March opened nt S1.2414, sold up to $1.243¢, dropped to $1.24%, then advanced irregularly to 312514, and closed ot $1.253 bid.

For some daya past two or thres partles hase been buying large amounts for delivery in March, and to-day there was a_good inquiry for immediato delivery, one party buying about 100,000 bushels st tho outside figure, and ho did not seem to think ho paid very much money for & great deal of corn. 'Tho general foclingis one of firmness, thongh there is no particular strength manifest- ¢d. Not many wecks azomany looked for a declino to 25¢ per bushel. Now.tho majority scom to beliovo tbat prices are down to the bottom. Tha yield of cornlast year was very extensive, but on account of tho comparatively low prices ruling, and also on account of the fact that tho corn would mot pay its way to market, let alome the cost of produc- tion, when 200 miles or more west of Chicago, has stimulated the home consumption, much corn boing turned into pork, snd more or less into ashes, ‘The shipping demand fwas light, the scarcity of transportation facilities affecting exporters in this as well as every other branch.

For various reasons, shippors re- mainedidlo, and_only purciised . fow droves now and then, when they thought thoy were really getting a bargain in tho prico pud. In tho first place, the condition of tho various Eastorn markets, a3 indicated by both spesial and public telegrams, was not such as to stimu- late anything like an sctive movoment among the shipping_interest, values being quoted st 25@50c per 100 Ius lower, and, in somo cases, the Teduction was even largor. Anothor circam- stance which, o cortain extent, exerted an unfavorsblo infiuenco on tho trade, was the froight blockade, ot the scarcity of caryy shippers being obliged to hold their cattle in the shipping division several days before they conld obtain cars for transportation East. When the expense of holding stock at the yards is taken into con- sidoration, it is almost ‘& wonder that ehippors oparated even to the limited oxtent which mark- ed theiz movoments. The recoipts were con- sidersbly lighter than during the previous week, but, in point of quality, thero was not the alight- est improvement to note. It is the subject of daily comment among live stock dealers,—the ‘manner in which country drovers, shippers, and farmers persist in sending to the Chicago mar- Kot these balf-fatted, poor, and, in many cases, even scallawag, cattlo, atd that, too, in the face of sovero pecuniary losses, and when corn cauld be fed to stock, and realize mora to the producer in fattening cattle than could be obtained by selling at the present low prices. Poor cattlo are not wanted, and when the owners eend such stock to market, they must not find fault with the price, as sellers find it extremely difficult to get any bid, so emallis the inguiry for this class of steck. In comparison with one week ago, we find values about 374@50c por 100 e lower, moro marked, how- ever, on the medium and fair grades thar’ on good to choice stock. There Was the ususl good attendance of prominent shippers, but in view of the facts mentioned above, they were very cautious in their opera- tions. On Fridey tho difficulty in obtaining cars wis obvisted and shippers wero_enabled to forward their purchases, and with light receipts 20d & better class of cattle, during the coming’ week, we may reasonably expect a better mar- ket. A few salos of extra stcors were made at $6.00@6.40, but sales above §5.75 were fow and. far between, tho bulk of tho seles being below £5.50, For stock caitl tho inqniry was very restrictod, and valucs were quotable at £3.00@L00. In o fow instances thrifty young siecrs sold st better prices. City batchers took what cattle they wanted from among the large numbor of poor ond balf-fatted cows and steers at $2.50@4.00, and for really good butchers’ steers as high s £4.8734@1.50.
