THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBU NE: FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 14, 1873. 5 THE STATE CAPITAL. “i’estarday’s Proceedings in the General Assembly. Large Number of Bills™ Introduced in ' Both Houses: Ontitacs of the Bill for the Collection : of City Taxes, Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune. . COLLECTION OF CITY TAXES. *. gparverrELp, I, Feb. 18.—The Committee on Municipal Affairs, after reading all tho bills presented to them, took up a substitute wiuch, ‘aving been prepared with great care, was read -g second time to-day. The billis substantiilly the same bill which was prepared and argued ‘upon by a convention of the Mayors of the citios of this State laatyeer, but which could not be ¥ by the Assembly, as it was hoped and ‘elieved that the general revenme law would be ample enough in its provisions to meet the ne- cessitios of State, connty, and city officials in raising the separate revenuesrequired. Experi- ence hos, however, proven that whilo that law requires but very little amendment for Btate and county purposes, it is wholly inadequate _and_ unfitted to mect the requirements of cities in the assessment or the collection of taxes for city purposes. It was hopnd' t:hat the Ensbling sct of March 22, 1872, logalizing -the sesesement and collection of city taxes for 1871, would afford the anthorities in cities time and opportunity to arrange for raising their revenues ‘for 1872 under the general Revenue luw. Chi- cago and nearly all the principal cities of the ftato were compelled .to proceed under the old ‘gystem in assessing their city taxes for 1872, and consequently one of the first bills presented o the Assembly, this session, was & bill asking {hat these assessments for city taxes for the “year 1872 be legalized. This emergency bill has been reported upon favorably, and will no doubt “pecome lsw. But, what will bedone with tho assessment for 18737 If the Revenus law could .pot bemsde toapply for1872, willit beany ‘more plisble in 18732 ~ - The bill {o be reported to the House is vory yoluminous, & necessity claimed for it from the Jact that no two lawyors of any ability have been able to sgree in opinion a8 {o tho effect which the general Revenue law has upon the existing city chariers. If alaw shonld be en- 2cted ensbling city authorities to asgess and levy faxes under their charters, and the Supreme Court should decide that this power had been taken away by the Revenue law, it would bea ‘pad fix. Bo tie bill agreed upon by tho Commit~ tes provides that the Common Council of any incorporated city in the State, 8 majority of all the en elected agreeing, may proceed to asseas, levy, and collect city taTes, the bill enu- mersting the purposes to which such taxesshall ba epplied. It also provides that the Mayor shall -nominate snd the Council confirm the appoint- recovered at law. It includes stock-jobbing snd is intended by its anthor to promote morality. TOE CANAL BILL. The Canal bill was read a second time and re- ferred to the Committee on Appropriations. SHAWNEETOWN, The House agreed to the Senate resolution providing for sending & Joint Committes to Shawnestown to investigate the claim made by that ancient burgh ngainst the State. OTHER NEW BILLS. A Deficiency Appropriation bill was intro- dnced by Mr. Hildreth, and & bill to abolish the State Board of Charities on the ground that it was an expensive luxury, by Mr. Casey. Senator Short introduced s bill to allow mort- gages of corporations, whose property and fran- chiges may have been sold under the mongnge, to reorganize under their old charters, and on< EY all the rights and be subject to all the lia- ilities imposed theroby. This would revive many old charters, confirming advantages that cannot bé acquired under the general Incorpora- tion act. ELE— PROCEEDINCS IN DETAIL. BENATE. SrRINGFIELD, TIL, Feb, 13. PETITIONS. . From the cilizens of Knox_ County, asking tho repeal of the Stock law. Referred to the Committee on Agriculture. RECONSIDERED. Y The resolution paseod yeatordsy requiring bills on;fcond Teading to be printed, was reconsid- er TOUSE MESSAGES.

The House resolution in regard to the im- provement of Western rivers was resd. Mr. CREWS moved to add the Wabash River. RESOLUTION By Senator HENRY—To provide legislation to mtee to colored children the right of ad- mission to publicschools, and to imprison school officers denying such right and refusing such ad- mittance. After some discussion, the resolution was 1aid on the table and ordered printed. el By Senator C GS—Reguiring the Aunditor _to inform the Senate of “the amount paid to Trustoes of State institutions, as salaries or incidental expenses. Adopted. By Senator BALDWIN—In referonce to fur- ther endowment, by Congress, of Agricul- tural Colleges, and_asking our Sonstors and Ropresentatives in Congress to favor such legis- lation.

By consent, Senator BURNS calld up Benato 1ill 173, providing for ‘registration in caso of spocinl elections. Ordered to third reading, en- grossed, and ordered prioted. o Senstor BALDWIN called up his resolution in- stracting the Judiciary Committee to roport & Dbill effectuslly prevonting witnesses in criminal cases from being deprived of their liberty (ex- cept in such cases where such witnessos refuse to be sworn, or to testify). The resolution was discassed, pending which tho hour for discussing Benator Waite's bill, allowing criminals to tes- tify, came up by special order. On motion, con- Eidaration of the sgec.u.l order was postponed uotil Thursdsy next. Pl ¥ Discussion was renewod on Benator Baldwin's resolution, and it was amended by spbatituting “ roquesting” instead of ‘ instructing” the Judiciary Committes, and, as smended, sdopted. "A resolution to print 3,000 copies of Governor ment of & City Collector and City Assessor, and that the Council shnll elect a3 many Assistant Asgessors 88 may be necessary. It also provides for the means of raising money for the construc- tion of !awexs’m]hying ‘water mains, paving, lighting, ete. The provisions with regard tb* delinquent taxes, mfll{gcfli against ju ent, wre very stringent, and, “ dodgers” have 8 to be very artful indeed to getround them. Personal actions for the collection of g:soul taxes are provided for to be ught _ before Justices of “lthe Peace or any Court of compotent jurisdiction by the City Collector. The sale of lots and lands for Gelinquent taxes is, of course, to be made by & eral officer of the county, according to_the onstitation, but he shall only act 8s an officer, -to carry out the execution of ‘the judgment o ths Court, sud shall not ‘colloct nily of the ity money. - He is to be paid - for his services euch gum 23 the Council msy determine. This will save the enormous smount of fees, such as Chixfin hed to pey the County Treasurer at the last gale, amounting to over 318,000, while the City Collector, pith his numerous staff, had to stand sside, doing nothing.

A BATCH OF BURGLARIES. Abont This Time of the Year Look Out for Cracksmen. DMore Daring Exploits by the Mid- night Marauders. Yestorday morning about 2 o'clock the resi- dence of John Alston, Esq., No. 509 West Wash- ington street, was entered by burglars and s gold watch ond chain, valued at $200, & pocket- ‘book containing $50 in money, & valuable set of bosom studs, and two tickets to New York, via the Michigan Sounthern Railrond, were taken. It appears that about 2 o'clock Mrs. Alston was nrom!afl' by an unusual noise in her room, and, on looking up, was terrified to see a man leaning over the bed. She at oncoscreamed, but was soon quieted by the robber, who grasped her throat so firmly that she could neither speak nor breathe. h{r. A}ston, being awakened by the cries of his wife, sprang up, not comprehending at first the real condition of affairs. In an instant, however, he saw the robber’s hand upon the throat of his prostrate wife, and jumped at him. By this time, however, the two men who had been ransacking the house had gathered up their plunder and left the house. Finding him- gelf alone, the third robber tore himsclf from Mr. Alston’s clutches, and ran ont of the room, closely followed by that gentleman. As they descended the stairs, Mr. Alston succeeded in finspmg a portion of the thief’s clothing. He, owever, jerked himself Ioose, with such power and suddéuness as to_tear tho entire nail from oneof Mr. Alston’s fingers, and throwing him ddwn the romaining portion of the stairway. The thief, of course, got sway, leaving Mr. Alston to return to his room, suffering from tho broken nail and the bruises be had received from the fall. When he reacked his room door Mre. Alston, hearing his footstops, mistook them for those of #he burglar's, and elammed the door in his face, striking him on tho fore- head, and so stunning_him astolmock him down. She soon discovered her mistake, however, and with the assistance of a servant the wounds her husband had received were soon cared for. 1f tho alarm had not been sooner _given, it is believed that the property taken would have included silverwaro and other valuable goods within reach. The_case has been given to the dotectives, with little Lope of securing the burglara, The offices of F. H. Revell, publisher and im- porter, No. 114 Madison strect, were entered by thioves early yesterday morning. The stock consisting hrsely of roligions books and Bibles, the thieves did not molest it, but confined their investigations to the money drawer, from which they extracted only a small amount of change. James Donnelly and James Milliken wero ar- raigned at the Armory, yesterday morning, for entering the residence on_the corner of Indiana avenue and Thirty-fourth street, o fow nights 8go, during which visit, it will be remembered, they were very social with the servants. They were held in 1,000 bail for examunation next ¢ Baldy" Bheppard and Peter Bedoldorf, charged with breaking open the hardiware store of Frederick Aye, No. 82 Archer avonue, wero xi‘]cetardly hold for trial, by Justices Banyon and u%getfi, at the Cruminal Court, in bail of $1,000 each. : The examination of the Tremont House rob- bers will take glue this morning before Justice Scully at the West Side Police Station.

Cunningham’s Insurance Office. In writing up the new Chicago, it 18 of interest to es- pecially mention the new offices recently fitted up by W. H. Cusiningham, in Nixon’s Building, on the fizy ner of LaSalloand Monroo 8trei3, In choosing this locatlon for an insurance ofice Mr. Cunningham has obgerved tha external fitness of things, the building being abaolutely fire-proof, and the pnly ome in the burnt district of the city that euccessfully withstood the ravages of the great fire.

IN SEARCH OF HIS WIFE. A Detroit Elopement Case Developed in - Chicago. Light Thrown Upon the Subject by a Deseriptive? Brakeman, George P. Warner, of Detroit, is & man who ia regretting the faithlessnesa of the human fam- ily, especially his own share of it. Bexis noob- ject. His wifeis ono of the faithless and her paramour the other, 80 that both varieties of the human deceiver are represented. Mr. Warneris from Detroit. At present he is in Chicago, hunting for the faithless. He would require no lantern to aid him in his search for such people generally, for most improper persons who have disgraced themselvos elsewhere come to Chi- cago, to undergo a whitewashing and fumigating process. Eliza Warner and Hugh Bnyder are doubtless no exceptions to the general rule. The system is well tried, but is bacoming monotonous. Horwever, he may as well have his story told for him, since he is an injured party, and most injured . parties like to got the world's sympathy, evenif it doescome handed to them with a emile of contempt. Warner is & laborer, an industrious, hard-work- ing man, the possessor of the faithless Agnes and one child. He mourns the latter, $60 in gold, and $15 in currency. Ho lived with his wife in Detroit. About three weeks ago he took the man Snyder into the bosom of his famil, ‘more lit than ho supposed. Snyder hi come from Fort Laramie, Kansos, and, whilo in Detroit, worked in s planivg mill. On Jan. 23 Dr. Aikman came to Warner in the afternoon and advised him to go home, as there was tronble there. Bnyder, he eaid, was a villain, and had abused his confidence. He had drugged Mrs Warner, cud was efidnnflm}hflnfing some ovil movement. Warner took advico and went bome, but found that portion of the house occipied by him closed up, and Mrs. Warner and Bnyder miflsin&v. He mede inquiries, and learned from Mra, Thorne, who occupied the samo building, the following consolatory information: *‘I saw that manput- ting medicine into Mrs. Warner'sfood and drink. He drugged evorything she ate.” Warner made further inquiries, and learned that his wife and Snyder loft the house at 3 o'clock on that after- noon, and, to svert suspicion, took a steamer across to Windsor. Thoyreturned on tho steamer Union soon aftorwards, and took the 5:15 p. m. express for Chicago. "This was nice news for the bereaved husband. He did not learn_it all in & day. It took him some time to find out all he kneyw, but he found out more than he cared to, “proving him- colf what most ho feared to be.” The result of his inquiries =end discoveries was his determination to followthe partios, with- out further delay, to Chicago, He left oa'Tues- day by the midnight expresa train. From W. C. Bains, brakeman on the Michigan Central Rail- Toad, he learned that » woman came throngh on the evening of Jan. 23, whom he described as follows: *Large black eyes, black hair cut mid- dling short, lance-wound scar undor her chin, five feet five inches in height, spare faced, very pale, with a white cloud on her. head, brown barred dress, plaid shawl of six colors, brown gipsy hat” She had with hor ‘*'a child 21 months old, with black eyes, brown_hair, straw- borry mark behind the left ecar, dresséd in & ‘black and red checked dress and brown water- proof cloak, red stockings, slippers with a band over tho instep.” The man who was with the woman and child was “5 feet 103¢ inchos, weight about 185 pounds, light complexion, blue eyes, light hair, low forehead, flattened moso, small moustache, dyed ; blue suit, with “jockey’ bat, gsiters, brown overcost with red lining, coslon-dotted shirt, and squint oyes.” These amazingly minute descriptions were promptly recognized by Warner, who saw every article of his wife's clothing and every peculiar- ity of the trio here photographed with wonderful distinctness, Bains further informed his inter- rogator that the man (Snyder) had the money. Thoy sat in opposite seats, He called her Sarah Eliza,—her maiden name being Eliza Greaves. Bains states that Soyder left the womanin the car near Trenty-ninth street. Nothing further has been heard of the missing arties, Poor Wamner may have to go farther fore he overtakos them. Tt appears that Snyder and hia lady-love had gone through the deserted husband's property and carried away the 260 in gold aud 815 in cur- rency above mentioned, to meet the expenses of the elopement.

ANOTHER VERSION. Some New Facts Concerning the Alleged Killing of Mrs, Schevers. S S Statements of Witnesses to the Bru- telity of Her Husband. A reporter of Tre TRIBUNE, while visiting the Honse of Correction on Wednesday, with the city officials, interviewed the man Schevers, who was there incarcerated for a breach of the peace. Bchevers' name is before the Chicago public af present as a candidate for the gallows, prospec- tively. It will be remembered that his wife died very recently, and the causo of her death is at- tributed toa brutal sseault by her husband. The remains which had been buried, have subse- quently been reviewed, and undoubted marks of violence have been discovered. The roporter learned from Schevers that he was the victim of malicious prosecution on the part of one Charles Matthews, living st No. 169 Canal- port avenme, to whom he applied the npamo of “Peoping Tom.” This gentleman, Mr. Matthews, was interviewed by & reporter yesterday, and his statements, if sworn to before a jury of intelligent men, will, without doubt, get Mr. Bchevers into trouble. Mr, Matthews, who expresses his readiness to testify to this effect under oath, states that he was living with Mr. Schevers and his wife at Mr. Pardam's boarding-bouse, and was at the time on good terms with them. Mrs. Schevers had ‘been ailing for five or six weeks previous to the nssanlt, which led to death, seriously o at times, On the evening of Jan. 21, st 6 o'clock, 3r. Matthews came home, and went to the bed-room of the deceased. Her husband was sitting st the bed-side, talking to her. Mr. Matthews talked. pleasantly with them for & short timo, and then went down to supper. While at his menl he heard screams from up-stairs, and ran immediately to the giok woman's room to learn the cause. He opened the door and saw Schevera standing on the bed, his foot upon his wife's stomach, and one hand on her throat.” Mr. Matthews ie not ‘positive, but he believes he saw Schievers strike the poor woman with the qther hand. He did his best to separate them, but the infuriated nssailant held on to his wife's night dress, and toreit rather than relinqush his hold. The assault was proven further by bruises on the oor creature's forehend, and ecratchos on her oat and breast. When Matthaws pulled him away, Schevers shouted ‘‘ Let me go and I will kill the 3—— b—!"% Matthows states that he knew but little of the family, but, so far from playing the spy and peeping round, he was &f all times ready to assist them. On two ogcasions when Mrs. Schovers was very sick, he gat up in tho night and went for a dector. Previous to the occasion narrated by him, he did not knor, persanally, 6f Sohevers abusing his wife, but i was the general report among tho hoarders, who bad no Lesitation in sposking lgqely ehoat it. One gentloman who boarded with tta Gnfor- tunate woman and her miserable persecutor, at the house 6% Mrs, Peyton, on Jefferson szmé stated that Schayera had, on one occasicn, locked Loz up fnher Yoom for fqurteen days, afd never permitted her o go ont of if during the wholo of thot time, How much longer sho would have remained in 3 stato of imprisooment is o matter of copjecture, for at tho end of tha time mentioned she broke out through the window, with little or no clothing cn, and w8 snpglmd by the other bosrders with gar- ments. -She frequently $oid the boarders that her hiisband was in the habit of jerking hor ont of bod and otherwise shamefully abusing her. Ha bad npever provided for her in any way, and her fellow-boarders, out of sheer compassion for her, bought her clothing. Thae marrator had ‘himbself bought hor & pair of shoes. Mrs, Schevers was an American by 'birth, and bad béen married to the man who so shamefully fll-treated her only two years; not four, 48 stated by him. She was young, well bred, snd exceedingly amisble and atiractive, being pos- sessed of unusual paraonal charms. Itis to bo hoped that_Schevers will meet his deserts, and thero would scem to bono reason why he ehould not be dealt with at once, a8 several witneeses stand ready to testify to the facts above stated. —_— Funeral of Governor Geary.
