" McArihar, Cashier; THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE. SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1873. COLONEL EASTMAN. 15 Retirement from the Post Ofiice, fmprovements Perfected During His Ad- ministration---Correspondence. At 12 0'clock Iast night Colonel Frank A. East- #n3n vacated the offico of Postmaster of Chica- g0, turning over the building, fitures, and good- will tohis smccessor, General John McArthur. £T'he retiring officiel takes with him into privato Yife the good will of 2l whohave known him, 2nd their best wishes for his faturo success. His @uties uring his term of office have been most cceptably and honorably performed. The im- provements that ho made in tho service were .of the most judicions ' character. The changes which he made in the carrier sys- tem did much to bring it to its present state of peifoction. As s journalist, Colonel Eastman is espocially intercsting to journalists. He was for some time connected with Mr. J, W. Shes- hen in the editorial management of thé Morning Postof this city. Authe timo of his appoint- ment ho was in mercantile business associated with the firm of Barrett, Cossitt & Co. Colonel ZEastman received his commission from Presi- dont Graut in March, 1869, and in the following April entered upon the duties of his office. He made necessary changes in the clerical forca, 2nd bronght it up to a high degree of efliciency. The grest fire seriously inferrupted postal operations. The Post Office building burned ebout 4 o'clock on the morning of Oct. 9, after Laving for some hours stood a8 a barrier betwacn e Teroose ofiice and tho conflagration. Tho registered meil and almost all of the distribu- tion mail was saved from the flames, and with this matter, and Each now correspondence as im- smediotely bogan to accumulate, tho Postmaster tarted business again o DBurlington Toll. Al of our citizens will recall the anxions crowds that collected about that place for many days afterwards, and the straits 4o which tha officials were reduced to accommo- dato the business, snd serve the public. Soon sfterwerds the Wabash *Avenue Methodist Churen was leased, and a large force of men set 4o worl: to prepare it for postal purposes. Tho Postmaster General kindly co-operated, furnish- ing every sssistanco in his power. It was rexdy for occupancy, and (ho business wns moved into it dn December, just two months after tho fire: It has proved convenient, 2nd will doubtless bo adequato to the business until the new Government baild~ iugs are completed. “The Chicago Post Offico is the second offico in tire country in all departments of its business. In its domestic correspondence if can scarcely be cid to be cecond to the New York oftice. Its ~foreign correspondenco is_very great, as it has es in scaled bags, by the same convey~ 5,000 Jetters. Its employes in all depart~ uents numbor 340. Colonel Eastman succceded General F. A. Sherman in oflice. The principal business of the office has, for some time pakt, beén trensacted by the gerttio- men whose names follow: F. A. Enstman, Post~ C.S. Squires, Assistant Postmaster; tiner, Chief Clerk ; W. E. Patten, Seo- zetars ; o 17, Suporinteudent Carriers ; J. P. Campbell, Stiperintendent Money Orders; J. E. Henne- ‘orry, Superintendent Registry Department ; Feed.'

To the Editor of The Chicngo Tribune: J Sm: Having recently scen inseveralof ourpa- pers allusions to the alleged nonfulfilment of the day city scavenger's dontract, and, as the snb- ject is one in which the pablic no doubt feel an interest, I have concluded to lay the following facts before you, for the consideration of your readers. 3ly contract with the city requires me, on the South"Sido, to clean from Harrison to Twenty-second streot, once a day, cast “of State street; and south of Twenty-second to Thirty-fifth street once a week. Now, all sum-~ mer I have covered the district from Harri- “son to Thirtieth street every day, eight blocks beyond the requirements, and have gone up to Thirty-fifth street three or four times cach weok ; whilo from Harrison fo Water street, my teams Tave been at work regularly every day, although, when I took the contract, it was expected that twice, or thrice, a week would' bo amply sufli- %ien(:, in tho distrie, at least to remove all gar- age, ctc. 1 the North Sido, T was required to cover the district extending from Kinzie to Division, on the ono bend; and from the lake to the river, on the other, once a week. Now, I have done it every day during the entire season ; 8o, I think that breach of contract has not been 2n injury to the City, at least. On the West Side, I was roquired to clean from Lake street to Madison, and from Canal to ‘Western avouue ; from Madiron'to Van Buren, 2nd from Canal stroct to Centre avenuo, once & doy. From Van Buren to Twelfth, extending west to Centre avenug, once or twice a week; from Centro avenue to Western avenue, aud from Madison street south Lo Van Buren, oncen week. Now, Lhave not only fulfilled my contract, ‘but where required to visit once—I bave done it regulirly four times overy week. As an evidonco that my statements are correct, 1 may say_that in Mey I employod 20 doublo teams; in-Juno, 24; in July, 29; in August, 23; September, 29, and in October, 24. In November tho epizootic visited my horses, a8 it did everybody olsc's, and, in trying to work some of ther before they were fit, Llost four of them. As o matter of course, a great deal of garbage, which accumu- Iated during the prevalence of tho epidemic, ba- came frozen, and subsequently covered with &now; but as soon as tho weather permits I pro- pose to remove every load of it, no matter how ‘many teams aro required to do £o, and by or be- fore tho 1st of May I am satisfied onr strocts, so far 28 my duty is concerned, will be entirely free from lng}mnmulnhon of an objectionable char- acter. Alore I cannot promiso or perform. I may also stato that, in the Eifhflx ‘Ward whero the partics reside who have mado the falso charges sbont my non-fulfilment of contract, there are more cows and ewine in that Ward than in any three Wards in this city, znd, 08 o conse- quence, thero s scarcely any garbago to be col- lected. The complaint about the carcasses of dead, avimals being allowed to lie about the street has no bearing whatever upon myself, es the city scavenger's duties nre confined to the collection of ashes and garbage csclusively. In conclusion, I wonld stale that my contract only Tequires me to go to the residences of privato families, whereas nearly every other building was turned into boarding housé, o restsurant, or Lotel, which certainly added largely tomy lubors. 1t should not bs forgotten, either, thet our city posscsses & population of 35,000 more than it did a vear ago, whilo 1 have Liauled moro garbago during the past six months then has been haulad during the past two years, which statement can easily bo vorified. Yours respectfully, PrrER DOWNIE. CEICAGO, Feb. 15, 1873, RECOVERY OF IEWELRY. Detective Tracy, of the St. Louis Police, ar- rived in the city sesterday morning in search of some valuablo jewelry which was stolen from the Douse of a prominent physician of that city, and alleged to have been pawned in Chicago. The Jewelry was valued at $300, and, after & diligent scarch, was all recovered byft o'clock Yesterday aftemdon, It hed beon patrued in 1% diferent shops, but the detective, being in ‘possession _of the pavnetickets, had little dilculty in finding the places of deposit. Tho lewelry was stolen by & man named W.H. - Wells, who, soon - after committing the theft, pawned veluable xing in St. Louss, and with the procoeds camo to’ Chicogo, where he dis- posed of tho remainderin the ‘minner beforo stated. He then returned to St. Louis, and was there arrested. _After completing his business, Detective Tracy was entertained by his brother dotectives of this city, many of whom have been the recipients of kindly favors and sttentions 8t his hands when in 8t. Louis. Mr. Tracy re- turned to his native city las¢ eyening, . f “the extrome loveliness of the fomi A CLINGHER. Reply of the Mayor to Lawyers Schaffuer and O’Brien. If the Police Board Is Mot a City Insti- tution, What Is It ? A reporter yesterday intervicwed tho Mayor with regard to the probablo action of the Com- ‘mon Council in the confirmation of the Mayor's nominces for the Boerd of Police. The repor- ter inquired of His Honor whether be folt him- scll ablo to answer the minority report of Con- stitutional lawyers, Schaffner and O'Brien. The Mayor smiled, and supposed he could. No rospectablo lawyer wonld care to put his name to such a report. The reporter s2id it was generally understood that Mr. Goudy, atiorney for the cx-Commis- sioners, wroto it. The Mayor said, signi his name to it,”did ho?" The reporter pointed to a clauso in the minor- ity roport. 5 The Mayor eaid : They make this pomt,—that the Police Board of tho Ciéy of Chicago was or- ganized under an independent and special act, passod in 1861, which does not profesa tobo cithor city charter or an emendment thereto. Therefore, they arguo that the provisions of the Mayor's bill, under which tho Commissioners were removed from office, do not apply, becsuse it i reatricted to officers holding positions under the charter. On this question they base their wholo report, and that baso demolished, their whole report tumbles to the ground. The act to which they refer was passed on Feb. 21, 1861, creating the Board of Police of tho City of Chi- cago, and prescribing their powers and duties. Now, I hold that this act of 1661 was just as much a partof the charter of tho City of Chi- cago as though the charter had boen passed in two portions, ‘Lho charter consists of the lnws passed by the Logislaturo, whether called tho charter or mot. Two vears subscquontly it was repealed, and & mew charter establishod for the City of Chicago. Tho wholo of the old char- ter ond all smendments wero repealed to tho exteni that the mew charier was in conflict with everything that preceded it. This new charter, passed on Feb. 1, 1533, is ontitled, “An act to reduce the charter of tho City of Chi~ cago, aud tho soveral ncts zmendatory theroto, into ono act, and to roviso tho same.” It con- sists of seventcen chaptors. Tho tenth chapter relates to tho Polico Department, and tales tho place complotely of thoact of 1361, which was wiped out, every scetion and line, by the now charter, and this tenth chapter of the act of Feb. 1§, 153, substituted for it. This chap- ter relotes to tho Polico Department, and is iu iteclf a complete act. Itis an integral part of the City of Chicazo, and is tho'tenth chapter of. the whole cify. ‘T'wo years afterwards the Legis- lature again passed an amendment tothe charter of the City of Chicago, cntitled: “ An act to reduce the charter of of the City of Chicago, Gonntly, “Ho didu't put | and the eeveral amendments amendatory thersto into one act, and to reviso tho eame, approved Feb. 18, 1863, approved Feb. 16, 1865.” These arc_all amendments to the ach of 1865. . The entiro_ chapter, numbering 40 scctions, /with smendments to the nct of Feb. 13, 1563, was zpproved Feb. 16, 1865, This is one of tho meniments referrad to i tho Mayors bill. Tt declares that it is an amendment to the charter of the city. The whole forty scetions rolate ex- clusively to the Police and Firo Departments, the duties of tho officers, end tho payment of the Police and Firo. Dopartmonts. March 9, 1937, there wus a long smendiment mado to the chiarter of the city and its amend- ments, entitled **An act supplementary to an act to redace the Charfer of the' City of Chi- cago nnd the soveral scts amendatory thereto, and to roviso tho same.” The third chapter of this amendment of 1857 is devoted oxclasive- 1y to the Polica and Firo Departments. It in- creases the pay of tho men, changes their duties, and makes a great many new provisions in re- =z to tho management of tho Polico and Firo Bepartmonte, zepealing part of othor provisions in the previons laws. This.amendment consists of 7 chapters, on the following subjects: It relutes to asueisment of taxee, and creates tho departracnt of the City Government for the col- lection of taxes; tho second amends previous portions of the charter on the subject of pablic works; tho third refers to tho Police and Fire Departments; the fourth to the Board of Hoalth; the fifth to tlio Common Council; tho rixth to miscellaneons matters, and tho soventh to schools. There are thrée acts,—ono the original and complete charter, and two important amend- monts in 1965 and 1867. Tho Legielature again soted on the charter of the City of Chicago in 1869, and passed soveral amendments,—a dozen or more. Amongst_ others it epportioned the city into twenty wards; mado new districts. The fiftenth section of this charter smendment pro- ides that the Polico Commissioners shall devoto their entire time to the dutica of their oflice, and rospectively receive in compensation a ealaly of £3,000.a year. That act was approved on March 10, 1869. O March 15, 1869, thero was_passed by tho Eame Legislalure an act of twolvo sec- tions, relating eutirely to the Police and Fire Departments, entitled * An act to amend an act supplementary to the original act of Feb. 13, 1563, and its amondments, entitled *An act to reduce tho charter of tho City of Chicago, etc.,,’ and tho several amendments thereto, approved March, 1867.” It is tho lost amend- ment made to the charter relating to the Polico Department, until tho act of tho Mayor's bill passcd in 1872, which is the last. of ali amend- ments which have been made £o tho charter af- fecting the Polico Dopartment. In the light of thoso facts, how can any Alderman, or any other man, say that tho Police Department of the City hicago 18 no part of the City of Chicago? “If it is n part of the City of Chicago, theu it comes under the Mavor's bill as completely as any othor portion of tho City Government. If the latter bill docs ot apply to tha Polico Department it applics to nozhing. It is null and void. If it does not apply toone, it does mot apply to tho other. I think thia is av anawer to Ald. Schaffner and O'Brien. Tho ack they refer to was repealed and wiped out ten years ago. THE CITY [N BRIEF.

Hero T'vo been sitting up with her all night, and have got to go to work to-morrow, and she mevor oven asked me to call again.” A roar of laugh- ter from the three audifors of this confession startled the poor fellow, who ran off for dear lifo's sake. Thero aro now 500 Houso of Correction. Owing to thocold weather, they cannot work out of doors, and consequontly bave much leisure time on thoir hands. They ought to bo supplied with reading muster of some kind, that would.combine smusement with mstruction. They now eagerly read anything thet comes to tiem, passing old newspapers round to ono znothicr. There is not a family in this city that has not old_books, magazines, and illustrated papers that are of no use to them. They would_ be thankfally received. Any such may bo leit in chargo of tho Mayor's Seeretars, atthe Mayor's ofiice, City Hall. If o roie be sent, the papers will-be sent for. Of alltho bubbles recently blown into magni- tudo by long-winded reporters, the seusolosa scneation about the accumulafed ofal at the Stock Yards is the_greatest. Thero is no causo for alarm, and no dauger to anyono, unless it bo to Times roporters, whose unhoalthy constitu- tions predispose 'them peculiarly to fot- id aod missmetic jofluences. - The Fer- tilizing Company kave bhad a large forco of men and & large number of cars at work romoving the matter for the last two Weeks. Every pound of offal will be removed from the ground within threo wecks at farthest—possibly m two—unless something extraordinary inter- feres with their oporations, Beforo spring the ground will be plowed up g0 a8 to prevent any possiblo smell tint might arise from it. This week the ladios of the differant churchos will give some down-town dinners for the bene- fit of tho Christian Union, in aid of its geueral work, and to create o fund to carry forward their educational, bumane, and charitable ways. Tho " dinners will begin ‘Tdesday, end will be given at 116 Franklio street. Tuc liours will be from 12 t03p.m. The arrangements have boen made to supply all the wants of the inner man, and young ludies will do_the_ waiting. Tho Union work_ is daily enlarging, and from 300 to 400 young peoplo take advantage of its instruction. "Among the mansgers of these dinners_aro Mis, Doyden, Mrs. Sayre, AMrs. Booth, Yrs, W. O. Carpenter, Mrs. Kirby, Mre. Remick, Mrs. Bakier, Miss Gage, Miss Squires, Mrs. Spear, Miss Chorrio, Mrs. Abby Sago Rich ardson, 30is Squires, Mirs. Pinney, Misa Stod- dard, and Miss Weleh. Thedinners will contin~ ue several days. A watchman of one of tho vessels on the river st tho foot of Harrison street reported at the Armory Station, Thureday morning, that ko ad 8een & man go through tho ico near hid_vessel tho night previous. The same morning, Michael Carlon, of No. 212 Marshall strect, reported that s brother-in-law was missing. 1t was at onco conjectured that the man scen by the watchman was the missing person. Ofiicer Croak was detailed to search for the body, and yesterday afternoon it was found about five fect from tho lace where the watchmac saw the mango down 5 proved to be tho body of Patrick Clark, Ca lon's missing relative. "The body was not brais- ed in any way, and nothing had been taken Y‘ocl ts. It is supposed that Clark was under the influence of liquor, and thought, to lesson tho walk home by crossing the river ot Harrison street, on the ice, without estimat- ing proporly the cffect of tho recent mild woath- er. Clark was & singlo man, The San Francicco Figaro complimenta tho energy of the drummers for the business honses of Chicago, and says that when ono of them hoars that a new town is to be started, onton the far Westorn plains, he rushes there with a trunkful of samples aud a largo umbrella, and camps out. When the emigrants arrive hieKoops quiet. He does not move when the hotel is erected. VWhen thosanctuary is built he Letrays noemotion. Hedoes not become oxcitod when Post Office is finished. But as soon as tha first store is completed ho is right on hiand, keen with hunger forabill of goods. Itrather thinks, however, that this is not equal to the energy of the Harrisburg man who asked for permission to eay a few words about the deceased, af a funeral, and then called attention to tho Lair of the re- mains, which was grown with Restorer which the speaker was willing to close out on the spot, at one doller and seventy-fiv cents o bottls, to the bald-headed among ‘the bereaved. Whilo MazkSheridan’a minstrel company ia re- cuper=ting its health after its exortions to amuze the public, and the smiling impreszario—it will come to this shortly—is busy in the work of re- orgenizing. there is little to talk about with re- gard to him or his troupe; any gossip about the clever performers being restricted to ghe dra- matic column. The next person to furnish news is a city oflicer with' -5~ firaf-cless record, who holds o high and responsible position, aad who it ready to back up any statement he makes with facts thet cannot-be controverted, He tells the following story: Ton days 8go, since war was declared by the Polico ez-Commissioners snd the scallswag supporters, gambler, ono who s .es much’ honor sboul bim as_ acy, betook Dhimself to & store oo tho South Side, and inquired for & carriago robe. Tho robe was shown him, “I want the best you have,” eaid tho purchaser. 4¢This is the best wo have, sir." The robe was paid for. *Send it up to 813 Celumet avoame,” eaid the purchaser. “Who to,” queried the salesman. “ Never you mind,” replies the buyer, “send it to the number I told you.” Bat the salesman, with the fear of an unpleasant denouement before his eyes, persisted. * Who is it from,” he inquired. *‘What differenca does it make to you?” said the purchaser. *“Send it to the number I told you, and ask no questions.” The occupant of the house to which the robe was sent was Michael Hickey; the purchaser was Michael McDonald. e e = S Remarkable Casc, . From the Portland (Me.) Arqus, On Friday last Dr. Small was called to attend & young man_pamod Clarence Abbott, who was illat ki residence. Dr. Small discovered mu- mistakable symptoms of lead poisoning. It ap- peard that Abbott was wounded in the thigh by a minnio bullet at_the baitle of the Wilderness in 1864, and that the bullet conld not be” found at the time, He has guffered somewhs{ ever risoners confined in the | er ; after the rites had | front of since. Drs. Small and Gordon on Satur- day morning etherized the patient, and proceeded to mako e surgicel examination, which Tesulted in tho discovery of the ball in the thigh. The bullet was encased in a bony substance of sbout the size of & goose's egz, tho shell of which was one-fourth of an iuch ‘thick. The bullet had been tawblicg about in this cavity for eight years, and become worn and pelished 28 smoothly as though it had been dono on an emery wheal. Sufficient zmdunt of lead, how- ever, had permonted tho encasing and entered the system to produce lead-poiconing, which would have proved fatal in a short tima but for the timeiy relief afforded. Mr. Abbot: was do- ing nicely vesterday. FEARFUL ACCIDENT. A Falling Wall Crushes a Dwelling- Xlouse to the Grounde-A Motherand ‘Two Children Killed by the Catase trophe. From the Kansas City (Mo.) News, Feb. 10, o Yestorday witnessed tho inost horrible calamity that bas over visited this city. A fow weels siuce, it will bo remembered, the Ferguson House, at tho northwest corner of Twelfth strect aud Grand avenuc, was_burned. The ruined walls were allowed to stand, and it was the intention of the owner to build on thom sgain in the sprinz. A few foet north of tho ruins, and within tiio shadow of the walls, stood a small one-story framo dwelling. It consisted of only o rooms, and was owned by Pat. Stow- art. At tho time of tho fize it was untenanted; but about threo weeks since Patrick Dona- Boe, o poor Irish lshorer, formerly living in ° Harlem, moved his family into it, and obtained work from M, Ferguson, clearing up_ tho dibris _of the burncd hotel. His family cobsisted of him- 86l and wife Catherine, two boys, John, end William, aged respectively 16 and 11 years, and four daughtors—ary, 14 years of ago, and Ellen and Katie, twins, 10 yéars old, and_ Rosie, 8 bright-oyed little creaturo of 2 or 3. Here they hived peacefully and quictly until yester- day. While the family were at dinner, & man was thrown from his wagon, almost in. front of tho door, and Doneloo iad gone out to assist in carrying him to his home. The ‘eldest boy Lnd fluished his meal and gono dowa town, leaving his mother and the rest of the childron at the table, together with Maggie Kiley, a girl of 14, dsughter of a widow liviug in Harlem, who was vasiting them. Just at thia moment the monrning notes of the band announced tho approzeh of the funeral cortege, convering to their last resting-placo_ the remnins of ono of our moat promineut and best beloved citizens. Willie, bog-like, seized Lis cap and rushed ont o waich tho proccesion pass by. Tho others urried to the window, - Tiag head of the procession, lod by the Knights Templer, weg opposite the house when those in the vicinity noticed tho overbenging wall of the old Ferguson House begin to sway to and fro ; for ouly s moment it rocked in the strong south wind, then toppling over, fell on tho devoted building with o crash that was heard squares away. A clond of dust was rzised that for a mo- ment hid the full oxteat of tho dize eflccts, but some Iadics living in tho next houso ecresed that there vas a wholo family buried under the ruins. To lkuow that help was nceded was cnough. Inan instanta bundred strong armes and willing hands were at vork. By direction of tho Marshal, Mr. Fred. Mitchell, many of tho Knighta Lestened to the labor of humen kind- ness. Through aportures loft by the croshed roof and broken side, could bo scon th victims, while their heartrendiug groans of suffering and shrieks for aid filled all tho nir about. It was tho work of only a few moments to fenr away tho debris, whonce wore iaken the bodies. The first reachiod was littlo Ellen. Ar. Thomas F. Allen gathered her in his arms and bora ber to Nowlon's drug store, across the way. In rapid succession the other our wore taken out. The baby. Tosie, was almost uninjured, while o dog that¥as in tho house at the timo of the catas— trophe, upon being freed from his imprisonment, ran yelping away. OMaggic was dead when her body was taken from under the ruins, thoug! her heart pulsated for a moment. Her golden hair was dabbled with tho life-blood that fowed from a dozen ents in hor head, and, sickening to contemplate, a picce of lath, about six inches long, was jammed down her throat. Sho had also Teceived gther injuriee, and it is probsblo that her doath was almost instantaaeous. Tho corpse, with the mother of the family, Mrs. Don- anue, w28 also carried to Nowlon's, whilo Katie, tho last of tho unfortunates, was taken to gro- cory store fow steps furthor down the avenue. Drs. Morrison, Titzpatrick, Chapman, Menden- hall, and others, were quickly onbhaod, and_ail that could bo done to reliove their sudferings was doze. A number of ladies wero promptly on hand to minister o the suforers. _Au oxaniina- tion revealed the fact that Mrs. Donalios was Ladiy bruised about tho Lead ; 5 number of ribs were broken, four on tho rigit side, while thero, was & compotnd comminuted fracture of tho loft fore-arm, acd of tho left log from tho knes dovm. ‘Ihe Jog and arm wore crushod to o mass of bruised ficsh and bones. Ellen was bruized about tho head and blood wes flowing from her nose, mouth, and ears. Torleft arm was fructured sbove the clbow, and thero wes o bedly comminuied frecture of tho right thigh, with extensive internal inju- Ties. Kotie was the least injured except the baby. Her head was considerably bruised, left arim frac- tured in wo plzces, and tho tibia of tho rightleg broken near tho ankie, She is also supposed to have received internal injuries, the exteat of whicl is not yet determined. - 1t Wwas evident to el that neither Mra. Dona- hoo nor Ellen could live. The child wont first. Sho was~ uaconscions from the timo sho was roscued until her death, which occurred in about throo-quarters of an hour. Just_beforo she passed away the elder boy and girl, who had been informed of tho ead occurrenco, ar- rived, and their grief scemed uncontrollable. “Tho father, too, arrived at tho sccno just in time £o hear tho aunouncement of the re¢overy of all the sufferars. and around the dead and dying the berenved father and his childron knelt_and gave way to rassionato wecping. Little Ellie's To- spirations grow fuinter and fainter, farther and further apart, o slight tremor_ passed over her frame, and hor sonl was with Him wio gave it.
