4 THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: SUND. Y FEBRUARY 9, 1873. RAILROAD NEWS, Englewood to Be Repeated in Sec- tion Ten, The Monster Hew'Shops of the Forthwest: ern Railroad, Everything in the Equipment Line to Be Manufactured at Eome. The foard of ‘Trade end the Detroit River Bridge. The firat intimation of the fact that the Chica- g0 & Northwestorn Railway Company projected tho removal of their numerous ehopa to a site Just beyond the city limits, between Hedison 2nd Kinzie streets, and that tho knowing ones hed secured sovorszl hundrod scres in the im- mediate vicinity, caused a flutter of excitement cmong real estate speculators. Reliable infor- mation, however, was not oObtainable. The Company meintaineds s mysterions gilence, for reasons now quite obvions. If the shops were \ocated 28 proposed, a better and shorter access thereto .from the other Divisions must bo provided. Quietly egents were st 2t work to secure the xight of wey for & cut-of from Jefferson or Plank Road, on the Wisconsin Division, slmost aue south to the Gelena Division, & milo or 80 cast of Austin. , But tho ultimato object soon became known, snd tho Company hed to < geat” £100,000 worth before they finally got throngh. Oneman who paid scarcely $500 an scze for his property, just south of Irving Park, thiree years ogo, refused fo take less than $1,600 an scre, with heavy costs and damsges added. A Cansdian widow, through her industrions sgents, held ont most stubbornly, and surrendor- «d only upon & like hoavy purchase price. After threo months of cxpersive and vexatious delay tha fivo miles’ right of way has been sufiicient- 1v secured to allow of the track being laid. The advantage and relief {his cut-off will afford the Company must be resdily spparent. Tntil effected, the vast esurplus of traflic yussing over tho Wisconsin, Kenoshs, and Madison Divisions bad to e.lsnded into the city, and ewung around. on to the Kinzie strect track, near Causl strect, and thence bo run west on Kingzio strect to Rockwell stréet, whick it fol- Jows to the Bouth Branch Station. In this cir- cuitons progress, the cross streets are often ren- dered impassablo, and inconvenionces and sn- soyaneds innomersble aro occasioned. There will bo almost wholly sverted by the projected snt-off. TFreight destined to and from the South Branch will not pass over Kinzie streot east of Roclawell street, which will mutually bencfit tho Sompany sud the public. ” Great thoughthis prospective ¢ change for the setter” will be, it pales in comparison with the ‘mprovements coniemplated ia Section 10 of the fown of Cicoro. Already the plans are suffi- siently matured to onable us to epread am in- sightinto them before our readers. As spoedily es possible, tho entiro shops of the Company Jocated at Chicago ara there to be establislied. Their present greatnoss is to be immeasurably ,surpassed. The existing quarters aro scattered, 1rky, contracted, and ill adapted for pressing demands. The nerw ehops will be concentrated end enlarged. Railroad companies possessing the ability have proven the desirability of man- | nfacturing their ownequipment. Upon locomo- tives, costing each from $12,000 to £15,000 at the famous Esstorn shops, they can save €2,000 to 3,000 per engine. The same economical ratiois possiblein supplying cars. It is this discovery which leads tho best ¢urnished roads to make their own equipment. The Rock Ieland, Tllinois Central, Chicago, Bur- {Jington & Quincy, and Chicago & &'ton Com- '}mies have profitably tried the experiment. ¥he Northwestern Company intend to adopt the zame policy. For.this purpoes, plana are now Yeing prepared for the immediate construction of amachine shop 1205552 foet, with s boiler £hop 140x200 feet, and & blacksmith shop 80x300 Teet, sttached. Botween the two latter, which will project from tho machine shop, to Tound- houses will be erected, with stalls for eighty engines—forly in each. As one tumn-table is requi to movo each engine in |5 round-house, sud several may have eteom up and be wanted onshort notico, & \ “Zarger pumber of stalls would not be so con- enient, The presont round-house on the Wis- consin Division, snd that of tho Rock Island Company, each’ havo stalls for forty engines. The other engine Louses are of lesser ccpacity. The eraction of the machine-shop and engine- hocees will bp commenced early next spring. iaterials for the foundation are now being quar- -Fied, The superstructare will be of brick. The raechune-shop will be provided with every facil- ity for the consiraction as woll &s the repair of locomotives. Tue forsgoing enumoration comprises the buildings fully determined upon. In addition, car-shops and their neceseary adjuncts ore pro- jected. Theso are to be located west of the Srorks before described. The main building will e 25x80 feat, with two Tectangular wings 34x80 seet, leaving an intervening «pace 240x120 feet. Jo these buildings the requisites for construct- ing passenger sud freight cars will be placed. “djoining will be tho engine-room, S0x160 feet ; &iz0, the paint-shop, 80x200 fect; the foundry, 005260 feet, and the storo-room, 50x300 feet.” - When thehe soveral works shall have boon [ conetructed snd put in wosking orde, thoy will. givo constant employment to & force of over 5,000 industrions men. Necossity will obligo them to secure sdjacent and convonient resi- dences. Removing their fomilies to this vicin- ity will 6dd probably 10,000 to tho populstion. Tequisite accommodations will be supplied as fast as required, and the history of the Rock Jsland - cor-works bo repested. It will te remembered that, prior to the cs- tablishment of thoso works, Engleviood and ¢icinity were but sparscly settled. Tho jnflux of & numerous_body of #ober mechanics soon wrought a marvellous changs, TLoso who iwere fortunate enough to have invested before the sottiement was made realized® handsomely, while £n open prairie, waste and bleak in aspeot, ‘tranaformod into clusters of thriving hame= sicads, s » order to facilitats similar improvements in tho_neigiberhood of tho projected ehops, the foading officers of the Company assoziated with them several infinential gentiemen, and securod 5 largo portion of tho adjoining property. This ¢ Syndicate” have both iha zbility and the in- clination to render the district very -desirablo suburban residences. They will shortly proceed to lay out streets and erect attractivo boures. Some of Tho officers project th erection of hendsome res- Jdences, forming an sgreesble society of their own, to which sslf-interest will prompt the assur- ince of convenient railroad communication with tho city. Liberal inducements will likewise be pared to the workmen to secaro Lomosteads on serms within limited means. The construction of tho extensive works will secogsitate an enormous outlsy of capital, for which provision is mede by the executivo ofiicars i New York. The use fo which the old grounds +0d buildings will bs applied has not yot been fully decided. _ Until the *cat-off connectin, the Gelens and Wisconsin Divisions is extendec £0 the Milwzukeo Division—whicl is a probabili- 1y of the near fature—one or two of tho old on- gine honses and repalr shops will, doubtless, re- fmain for convenience; but the ultimate ob- ject, of which presont movements® sre attho insugaration, is to locate all the chist mechanical works of tho Company west of Cen- 1ral Park, and enlarge them a5 fast as the rapid- Iy-growing demands of a railrcad system of 2,000 es shall require. - 0 ANICABLY ADJUSTED.

It is claimed that the language of the first reeolution, limiting the location of the bridgo to apoint at or neer the City of Detroit,” would indicato that the Boerd of Trade favored the construction of a bridge imply by the Michigsa Central Road, whose line crosses tho Dotroit River ot the city of that nemo; while there is another great trunk line to the cast, the Chicago & Canada Southorn, which = pur- poses crossing tho Detroit River at" o point _sixtecn . miles " below Datroit, nnd which is also desirous of bridging tbe river, if poszible. It is not beliaved that tho Directors of the Board of Trade intendedto do anything which would 2ppear to gavor of discrimination azainst & now and itaportant. rond which is_just eatering Chicago, and which will contribute g0 much to ita prosperity, snd tend to furthor tho objects mentioned ix tho preamblo of the reso- Intions. It was simply an overzight which will doubtless be tured wken the subject comes up ‘beforo the full Board to-morrow. DID NOT GO AFTER KIS PROPERTY. Alawyer and hisclicnt altempted to play a £herp game on the Mayor thres or fourdays ago. Tt is possiblo thut the lewyer was duped by his client, bat the trick was & good ona, end might hare boen successful lisd not 3ir. Medill been too sharp o be decoived with corn-husks, or any other substitato for genuine cereala. Tho lawyer and the client came fo tho Mayor on_bohalf of an inmste of the Houseof Correction, whose name neod not bo given. She was & woman of tho town, who hadibeen fined $100 end costs for verybad aud unseemly behavior, and in de~ feult of poymont bad boen commifted 1o tho charge of Suparintendent Felton for 208 dsys. The lawyer told tho story of his client's undying love for the fallen creature, and askod Tiio Magor to pardon the wrotcked woinan out of the Bridewoll. Tho Mayor declined todo 80, for the offence must, have been ona of considerablo depravity, judging from the finc. The lasyor, with unblushing eftrontery, eaid ail this was true. The woman was doubtless bad, aud if left to hierself when pardoned out vould roturn to her evil courses. But bis client had determined to provide ngainst anything of the kind by marrying her. Henco bLe fued for pardon. The *Mayor, who ssw (hrough this, told the man thet it he would obtain & licenso and mnrr{ tha girl in the House of Cor- rection, he would start them on their matrimoni- &l carcer with a remission of er fine. The man went to the County Clerk’s ofiice and procured Ticense, with which be' returned to tho Mayor's office. 'He begged tho Mayor to let the girl out, and he would marry her in soma’ decent place. The Mayor replied that the Bridewell ‘parlors wore richly furnished, They might have the ceremony there or on tho doorsiops. The man's fece leflr;gfl.\ennd, but he promised to comply. The pardon was made out and sent to the Super- intendent, to go into fores :2 s0on s the woman was married. Mr. Felton still keeps it. —_—— The Safe Depository.

Washburn’s Suspension Not Authorized by Law. The Board Within {he Mayor’s Bili, and Subject lo Xts Provisions. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune: Stz : The ex-Polico Commissioners have at- tempted to justify tho conduct of themselves and tho action of the Board in 8 lengthy commu- nication to tho Common Council. This is, per- baps, the most extraordinary aocument which Jies boon callod forth by tho unfortunate diffi- culty between the Mayor and the Board. I refrein from any romerks upon the propriety of {his communication, upon the intemperate lan- gusg in which it is couched, or tho incendiary suggestion thrown in at its closo. The incom- plote and distorted statoments contained init aro calculated to mislead the unprofessional reader, especially i Lo is not familiar with that chaotic mass of legislation which goes to mako up the organic law of tho city. The suspension of Mr. Washburn is justified on the ground that, althongh tho Board may no longer possess tho power of romoval, it yot retains tho power to punish any oficer or prtrolman when proven guilty on chirges preferred ; and that, pending the trial on snch charges, the person chargod may be suspended from duty. Thus they eay : Tt is imporaible for us to #eo how the varlous pro- viions of the Inw suthorizing the trial of a member of thie polica forco beforo the Baard for malfeassuce or fncompetency, and to inflict punishment when con- victed, and, while such charges nr&xzemflng, topuspend thieir duty, sre inconsistent with tifoarbitrary power of removal Dy the Mayor without cause, Even if the Slayor posiesses such power of removal, it will not bo cisimad by any intelligent man that it preventa the Doard of Pollce from administering dizcipline under tho regulations of the city charter. Granting thot tho Board retein the powors here claimed, X deny that the suspension of 3r. TWashburn was in ihis case euthorized by law. ‘The provision of the charter in this subject is as follows : During the pending of charges zzainst any polico oflicer oF patrolman upon the palice force, the Board of Police, or any member of satd Board, may suspend from duty any such officer or pyrolman until euch chzrges can be examined by the Board of Polica, In this caso, thero wese no churges legally peading against Mr. Washburn, snd, consequent- Iy, no legal ground for his suspension. It is ovident that charges csn only be preferred beforo tho Board in the mauncr ponted out in the charter. The cherter preseribes two methods of preferring charges, and only two. The first of these s found in the rovised charter, which pro- vides that “Any cilizen of Chicago, with s view Lo the trial and suspension, or removal from offico, of any officer or policeman of tho police, may, on oatly, in writing, profer or mako bofore tho Board charges or complaint,” otc. The second method is found in tho amendment fo the charter, spproved March 15, 1869, which provides that # The Superintendent of Police, or the Acting Superintendent of Police, may prefer Vritten chargas, without oath, before the Board of Dolico,” ate, Theso charges, therofore, can only be lawfully preferred by a citizon under asth, or tho Superintendent or” Acting Suporip- tondent in writing without oath. No one in tho Police Dopartment can prefor charges, ox- copt tho Superintendent or Acting Superintend- ent, and 1o ouo can prefer charges against the Superintondent himeelf oxcopt & citizen. In this cneo, the Board took the ini- tintive, aud, by an order duly passed, directcd the’ Secretary of the Board to resont charges against Mr. Washbarn. The Eceretary accordingly propased and proseatod charges in the vory languags of the order of tho Board. His prescutment commenced a3 fol- lows: ‘“As directed by yonr Honorablo Board, Elmer Washburn, General Superintendent of Police of eaid city, is heroby charged,” &c. As these charges wero not prosented in the manner pointed out by tho chatter, the Board acquired To jurisdiction over themn. fThey wore mot Iegaily presented befors tho Doard, and the Board had no legal right to entertain them, or act upon them. _Conssqueatly, tho subsequent acts of tho Board,—the suspension of Mr. Wash- burn, shd the sppointmaut of Mr. Ward as Act- ing Superintendent,—haviog been based on the ground that charges were logally pend- ing against Mr. Washburn, were unauthorized and void. Tho action of tho Board in enter- faiuing these charges was not only illegal and void, but opposed to every principle of fairness or justice. It would be a1 anomalous condition of effairs if theso charges could be initiated or proferred by the very tribunal which is to sit in ndgment upon them. Suppose Mr. Washburn ad submitted to_a triel, what Lope of justico would ho have had at the hands of men who had slready prejudged his caso ? And not only was the action of the Board illegal and unfair, it was precipitate and undignifiod. They hurried their orders throngh when they know that, at that very time, Mr. Washburn was praparing tho nec- gosaey papers to, comply with tho erder of tho guu in respect to tho manner of doing patrol- uty. It is evident, howover, that this attempted ustification of the Board in guspevding Mr. Woshbumn was & mere aftorthought, —Thoy actod first, and took counsel aftorwards, Their puspose, o timo, was not to disciling e Vashburn, but to romovo Lim from the Toroo ; and this they do motdony. This boing their purposs,—and, whether it was their purpose or not, thoir action being illegal and dangerons to tho discipline of tha force and the interests of tho public,—but one _courso was open to tho Beyor. He must ase his prerogative to snstain the man who had begun to mako us feel that the laws of the city could be onforced. In their communication, the ex-Comminsion- ers deny that they were mewbers of & Board or- genized undor the cherter of the City of Ck cago or amendments thereto. They say: Iu is not truo that the Beard of Police was organized under tho charter of the City of Chicago or any smend- ment thoreto, It was orgenized under an act entitled *An sct to establisk a Board of Yolize inand for the. City of Chicago, and to prascribe their powers aud du- ties," paceed Fob, 21, 181, Trae; but the nct of Feb. 21, 1801, was in Jact, though not in name, an_amendment to {lio ‘Charter of tho City of Chicago. The title of an actis nopart of the act itself; end, to dster-| mine its character, wo must loolk to the subject- matter. An amendment in legislation is defined tobo “an allerstion or changa of somothing proposed in a bill or established as law” (Bou- zier's Law-Dictionsry). The sct creating tho Board of Polico did aller and change, in very meterial respects, the then existing charter of the City of Chicago. Prior to this act, there existed a polico forco which swas officered, con- trolled, . disciphned, and paid nccording to provisions of tho chaiter. By the act reforrod to, these provisions of the charter were all changed or abrogated. Fhe method of appointing and removing men from the force, the method of paving the force, their regulation and discipline. all wero changed, Duties which before devolved upon other officers of the city wore transferred to the Board of Police. The Boned were made by.the act ‘‘an Executive De- partment of the Municipal Government of tho city.” They wero mot croated an independent corporation or body, but were a department en~ efted upon the City Government then cxisting ¥ virtue of tho charter. Soction 11 of the et provided that the Superintendent of Police should take the place of the Mavor of the city, as being at* tho "head of the Pofice Dopartment or force. Sections 23 and 80 wero as follows : Stc, 23, From and after tho firstmecting of tho ‘Board of Polics under the provisions of this act, it shiall possess all the ‘power snd suthority heretoforo conferred by law npon the Mayor of tho City of Chi- cago as the head therein of the Polico Department of said city, o upon thie Common Councll of tie esid City of Chicafro, which pover and suthority shall relato to or inany way be conected with tho police govern- ‘ment, police appointments, or police disciplino within #aid city; and, from and aficer tho paid finst moeting of tho Baard of Police of the City of Chicago, the duty, and authority, and government of each and all of the aforementioned officers in rolation to police govern- ment, appointment, and discipline, shall wholly cease, and vest 38 aforesaid in the said Board of Police con stituted Ly this act, 80, 30, All statutes, parts of statutes, and pro- visions of law inconsistent with the provisions of this are hereby repoaled, together with all modes_and qualifications of appoinfment to office ns members of Police Departments, or of elections {o- offico therein, inconaistent with tho provisions of this act, These sections show that the act was clearly smendatory of the charter as it -then existed, and that the changes made by the act were ex- tensive and important. The Legislature of Michigan passed an act entitled “An 'act to _cstab- lish s Police Government for the City of Detroit,”” which was approved Feb. 23, 1863, and which was, in its general features, similar to the act we have been considering. The Supreme Court of Michizan held that this act was an amendment to the charter of Detroit. The Court say : The act beforo us_does not 1ssume §n termsto ro- vise, alter, or amend any prior act orjsection of any act; but, by varlous transfera of duties, it bas an amendatory effect, and, by ita Last section, repeals all l‘ggn;uhimt scts. {The People v. Mahony, 13 Mich., Gther Courts have pronotinced decisions whicl: illuztrate and cstablish tho samo principle; and there can be no doubt but that the Board of Fo- Tico of Chicago wero orignslly organized under an amendment to the charter of the city. Bat I do not approhond_that, by " Boards or- anized undr the charteror amendments there- 0," the Logislature intendod Boards originally &0’ organized; 1 think it moro reasonable fo con- strao the langusge as meaning tho Boards now organized, now constitucd or existing by virtue of the chartor and its amendments. In either view, tho members of tho Board of Police are within the Mayor's Bill, and subject to its pro- visions, Lex. Ci10aao, Fob, 7, 1873, e . THE NEW JURY LAW.

The month of January is not selected bocauso it is particularly hoavy ; on_tho contrary, it is not particularly heavy, snd, instead of two juries sitting et ono time, in both the Circait and Saperior Courts, as will shortly bo tho case, thero have been in the Circnit Court rarely more than ono, and in the Superior Court never more than oce. A bill now before tho Legislature will soon givo such on increaso of Judges as will onable the rapidly increuins business of these Courts to be attended to—which it now is not—and in- crezsed Judgos will mean at least double juries, and involve an oxpendituro of at leaat doublo 9,000 per month. z There is no fund oat of which these jury fees can bo paid, oxcopt the surplus fees of the Cir- cuit Court, which overy hody hes been counting on for an age past, and the publio puree. Count- idng on tho public purse mocns increesed bur- ens. Ono of the evils to be done awsay with by this new jury law, was the sbolition of profeesional jurymen. That such aresult hes not been at- od is proved by the fact that it was nothing less than the application of a citizen, alresdy on a jury, to get him on another jury, that inspired the reporter to Lunt up these figrca. 2 PERSONAL.

FEish and Fisheries, The report of Spencer F. Baird, United States Commissioner ot Fish and Fisheries, shoir o good-amount of work done with the meager ap- ropriation of $15,000. Sevoral million Hudson iver and Connectivat River shad were planted in tho West, including the Allegheny River at Salamanca, tha Upper Misaissppi River af St. Paul, the White River at Indianapolis, snd the headiaters of tho Platte at Denver. Itisbe- lieved that in six years thoy may be made to swarm all the rivers emptying into the Gulf. Ho snya: “The experience of the State of Connecticut in this xesgeck i3 8 case in point. The supply of shad 1n the Connecticut for several yeara had been greatly diminished a3 compared ~with its former usual abundance, owing to the reckless methods of fishing. A faw years ago the Com- miseioner of Fisheries in Connecticut undertook the business of hatching out tho shad; and has becn turning out young fish year by year in in- cressing pumbers, until the aggregate in 1871 amounted to about 50.000,000, and in 1872 to 91,000,000 The benefit of this action was satis- factonly exhibited in the spring of 1872. Im- ‘mense #chools of shad were mat 2t ses, bound for tho Connecticut Riveg; and the number of fine, marketable fish sctually takon in its vicin- ity was 6o great that they bocame a drug in the market, scarcely worth more than five or ten cents each. This condition of things was, of coursa, not very satisfactory to the fishermen X0 T " Chieago Commendsry, nor the marketmen, who %:erermd Iarger profits with lees troublo ; ‘but ihe boon to the people end consumers genorally caanot be overesti- mated.” Mr. Baird wishes the coming season _to intro- duce spawn of ehed into ail the Atlantic rivers, begiuning with the St. Johns, of Florida ; an he thinks it very desirable to try the experiment of introducing ‘thera into the “sireams flowing into the great Jukes, the bottom of which is found to abound with minuto crusteceans, such asarethe food of the ehad and ealmon in the ccean. Sometbing has 2lso been done in stocking our rivers with sslmon. The new experiment was tried of catching the fish whon Airst ontoring the Maine rivers, and keep- ing them till tbey Lad spawned. Thus a million and & half of egys wore secured, of which half were tho gmpmy of tho United States. The German Government sent 250,000 sslmon eggs from its establishment and 500,000 have been purchased in Germany. Thoea are to be placed mainly in the tributaries of the Northern Lakes end in the tributaries of the Grest Salt Lake. Afew Pacific salmon eggs have been sccured, ard it is proposed to stock with theae tho South’ ernrivers. Thoye is much that may be done profitably with clewives, whits fish, smeits, tho great Danube ralmon, suitsble for tho Missis- &ippi and reaching 100 pounds' weight, lobsters, crab, oystors, and somo Russian sad Fast Tudiast REISOVAL REMOV.AT.
