THE LAW COURTS Accounts of the Bankrupt Insurance Companies. Jonathan Y. Scammen Holding $264,866.60 Assets, Pank-Tax Injunctions--All the Cascs to Be ReTried in the Federal y Courts. The Great Western Telegraph Company Turns on Iis Pursuers.” plit-Up of a Concrete Company---A Freeport Bankruptey. The Great Western Telegraph Company yos- terday filed its answer to the petition for adjudi- cation of John Clark Hilton, denying that the demand of enid petitioning creditor is a provable demand 2gainst the Company, in sccordance with the provisions of the act of Congress; and insisting that on the contrary the promissory sfiotes on which he claims were issued .without consideration, and payable to the order'of Selah Roevo; that said Hilton had .notice thercof, at and before the assignment to him, and that said Hilton is not a bona fide purchaser of either of eaid notes for valuo. Further, that they did not commit an ect of bankruptey in form and man- ner as charged, and that the default referred io, on the 12th of December, 1872, did not confess a judgment in favar of the Commercial National Bank, in the Circuit Court of Cook County, for ©4,656.56; nor in the other cases charged. Fur- iker, that defendant was not insolvent on the 12th December, 1872, nor at any time since; and that he at no time did or suflered anything with Intent to give & preference to said Commercial National Bank;, or to defraud the creditors of the Compsny; that if any judgments have been ‘entered up as confessed by said Company in said Court, a8 charged in the petition, the same wero umanthorized by seid defencant, the sola author- ity for such protended judgments being powers of attorney, signed by George L. Otis, as Treas- urer of the Company, eaid Otis never having re- teived any suthority whatever from said de- fendsnt to sign .any such powers of at- torney; and defendant claims .that the esme, if they exist, aro, therefore, not the actand deed of the defendant, and that such notes are every ouo of them null and void. Fur- ther, they affirm that said judgments wore enter- ed up without notice to tho defendant, upon no other suthorily than_said void powers of - attor- ney; whereforo such_judgments are also void. Further, thet the only consideration for such void nofes, upon which said judgments were ob- tained, as well as the notes held by the petition- ing creditor, was en assumed and pretended indebtedness to Sslah Reeve, the payee, for the construction of certain lines of telegraph by him built foreaid Company, under acompact pretend- ed to have been made between Reeve and the defendant. Next, dofendant_refers to the . proceedings instituted by Jércmish Ter- williger againat tho Company, in 1869, tho decree of the Circuit Court, rendered in 1671, thercon, the mandate of the Supremo Court an the new decree thereupon, entered on the 17th November, 1872,—all of which is familiar to the reader,—the latter decree setting aside and an- anlling eaid contract with Reeve, calling a new Board of Directors, and” providing for g séttle- ment or eccounting between such new Directors” and Beove. - Then defendant deseribes the meet~ ing on the 4th February last, and the result thereof; and contends ihat the Directors failed in their attempts to obtain a scttlement with sid Roove, which attempts they have now boen ubliged to abandon. They further state that said Reeve was Iugely overpaid at the time of the ex-~ ecution of said notes; and that the proseedings at law in connection with Reeve and the Company were a matter of notoricty in Chicago, and Bufti~ cient notice to Hilton and the Commercial Na~ tional Bank; that tho said Hilton is not the equitable owner 'of the notes on' which he claims, and thatthenotes were discounted by the bank tpon the personal guaranty of David A. Gage, who really controls said motes; and the pretended judgment thereon was in-secret trust forsaid Reove. Tho defendant winds up by eaying that it is the intention of the present Bo:m{ of Directors to institute proceedings, im- ‘mediately, in the m;)mper courts to have maid judgments annulled and canceled, and to pro- ceed with eaid accounting as against said Reed and his confederates, when discovered. . And they deny all the allegations in said petition. EPLIT-UP OF A CONCEETE PAVEMENT COMPANY. A split-up in the *Lewis.Payement (concroto composition){Company,”. has brought its mem- bersand Chicago agent into court. The part- ners consisted of George F. Fisher and Henry Btarkie, of Brattleboro, Windham County, Ver. mont, and Robert S. Hall and Augustus Trusdell—whose_ addresses are not given ;~and their Chicago agent was James G. Cozzens, The first two partners becamo dissatisfied with the others, and o negotiation for eettlement of - affairs and division of territory took place. The sgent roported, among lis sassefs, n . Chi . “transfoy of roal entate, In exchange: for work ' done for George A- Springer, estimated at $1,500, by due conveyance to him on behalf of the com~ {lmy of Lots 19 and 20, in Block 11, in Lancas- er's Subdivision of the west one-half of the sonthwest one-quarter of Section 22, 38, 14 Before the dissolution, it was arranged that Fisher & Starkie were to have one lot and Hall ‘Trusdell the other. It is now charged’ that Cozzens hes gone into businees with the two latter, and conveyed the lot due to the former (Lot 19) to L. D. Fierco, to securo $300, money advanced, as they aro informed, for the use of the new firm. Wherefore they pray a docree di- recting Cozzens to make & quit claim deed of Lot 19 to them, and that the dofendants repay tho eaid advance by Piercs, and release the mort- gsge. : HMODERATION IN BANKRUPTCY. Recently, the tendency of tho commercinl world hasbeen to take advantage of tho tempo~ rary difficulties of customers fo push them to tho wall, by putting them intobaukruptey. - Tho Bankruptcy aws have encoursged blackmailing operations; and, by the fecilities they havo ex-~ tended for placing parties under the stigma of insolvency, they have served the purpose of putting parties fo loss, trouble, and disgrace at the hands of enemies, who "should never have been g0 subjected. The tendency of the District * Court hos been, on the contrary, to restrict the looseness of dealing that threatemed, by such striciness as the law allowed ; and Judge Blodgett has recently more’ than once put an _ effectual stop fo transactions that should never ‘have songhe the inside. of & bankrupicy court. . Yesterday, ho mado a very brief, informal dacis- ion in the case of Thomas Griffin, Senior, that will serve the purpose of illnstration. ; The adjudication of bankrueic} in this cage * wag Bought on the ground of the non-payment of a note, snd the fraudulent transfer of proper- ti to o dougnter within six months befors ‘the _proceedings. The _ovionco failed to cstablish the fect that' the' amount of the note could mot ‘have beon Tecovered ab common law, and that the Property had been _transferred fraudulently, if. 8t n&, within tho six months preceding the in- titution of proceedings in bankruptcy.

The petition was thorefore diemissed. DANE-TAX INJUNCTIONS. ' . Judge Blodgott. yesterday announced his in- tention as to fature proceedings- réspecting injunctions restraining the collection: of -taxes - on bank glwres. Considerable interest attaches *_ to'the matter, in consequence of the belief that gencrally obtains, and which has received general . credence, that the Supreme Conrt decision would bave no effect whatever on the action of the * Pederal Courts, although wo stated plainly, in this column, at tho time, that, whatever might THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: WEDNESDAY. ict Court permitted, procesd to hear Tenrzument in such cases ns mi before him for that purpose.

GENEDAL NOTES, ‘When Judgo Farwell's nostrils were offended in the course of the hearing of the Fertilizing case, he attributed the nuisance to the subjech under discussion. But so outrageous a smell had never before been raised, even by so Juxu- rious a canse, in that Court.

When it was discov- ered thas this gontleman was anative of Cologne, albeit o rosident on_Chicago's fragrant banks, the scented coat of tho tanner was not altogether inappropriate, worn on 80 odoriferous an occa~ sion as the discussion of the perfumery war.

The Graves-Brignadello partnership injune- tion case was _yesterday argued before Judge Farwell. The bill was summarized in Monday's Tamuse. ~Although the affair appeared not un- important, by reason of manyfolios, the appear- ance must bé pronounced an illusion. The do- fendant yesterday offered to take $100 from Graves and give him up the business, or to pay him $125 and carry it on single-handed. Graves wanted $150. An’ adjournment was taken till Saturday. . Judge Tree, yesterdsy, informed Tae TRmoNE reporter. in reply toa diroct question, that if any forther motion was made for the discon- tinuanco of the supprossion of suits, and good cause shown, he should certainly consider it his duty to bring the matter before the Circuit Court Judges. In tho Goughan suit against the Northwestern Tertilizing Company, the papers in which con- sumed the whole of Monday in reading, before Judge Farwell, on the remittitur from the United Btates Circuit Court, the complainant yesterdsy withdrew his motion for an injunction. This does not disqualify his movinil.t a future time. Tho case of Elzemann v, The City, for $6,000 damages, for rupture and breaking a shoulder bone by slipping over ice that had beon allowed o accumulate on the sidewalk on Halstod streot, near North Branch, before Judge Booth, was given to the jury yesterday ovening, Partners who disagree monopolized Judge Farwell yesterday. Not less than threo partner- ship injunction cases came up, in one form or another, for the loerned Judge's consideration, ‘The Carbon Hill coal case is on trial before Judge Treo. Tho amount claimed by the plain- tiffs is £850,000, not £500,000, as stated inadver- tantly by a 1sually rolisble journal. Tho fees collected in the Circuit Court, for the month of February, amounted to £3,267.68. FROM UNITED STATES COURTS. Judge Blodgett sdjourned at 3 o'clock, tho whole of the business beforo the Court being disposed of, and no response being mado to the nsual inquiry : “Any more motions, gentle- men 2" ‘ The Court asscssed the damages at £5,137.80, in Mark Kimball, Assignes, v.

Mr. Oscar C, Pratt, formerly a journalfst of this city, died, on Saturday last, in Omaha, from the offects of an ovordose of morphine, inten- tionally taken. The cifcumstances attending the act ware peculiar. A few hours beforo ita commission ho called on.s well-known firm of undertakers, and asked them tho pricé of certain stylos of coffina. When osked who bad de- coased, he repliod, eeriously, *Ishall want one myself.” On Saturday ovenlng, physicians were called o his rosidence, and fouud him nearly |- desd . from some camso not eppa- reot. Being ssked what . was the matfer, " ho confessed what he had done, and, in snswer to farther questions, said that he had taken a “good dose.” The usual remodics wero tried, but without producing any favorable chango in his condition. He died soon afterwards. Mr. Pratt studied law in -Pontise, Michigan. ' Not finding immediate remunerative omployment in this profession, ho took travol- ing book agency 0 & precarious means of ob. taming s livelihood. In 1866 he smccepted & reportorial osition on_ the Detroit Post, and, having held it for a-year or two, came to Chicago, and was sssociated in e sams capacity withs the Zepublican, of which nowspaper ho aftorwards became city editor, Leaving tho Republican u year later, ho went, it is belioved, to Toledo, and was in some mannor connocted With one of the moming dailies of that city. His further journalistic experience was characterized by many vicissitudes, his cone nection with nowspapers being of limited dura- tion. _His last work in that profession was upon the Bee and Dispatch of where he dicd. For & year past bo Bas been out of money and véry despondent. He leaves o wife and one child who are st present in Omaha, The stetement that tho deceased was at one timo connected with the Cincinnati Enquirer is in- correct. He offered his services to that sheat, but they wero not accepted. It is not to be pro- sumod that the grass will refuse to grow above his gravo because ho was not absolutely fault- less, and failed in the solution of Life's problom, which perplexes all. i e B, SANITARY MATTERS. Tho Board of Health had its regular meeting yesterday afternoon, Mr. Hoard in tho chair. A number of bills were audited, and ordered paid. The Banitary Buperintendent reported 127 deaths for the weclk, 17 less than for the pre- ceding one. Of theso, 71 were males, and 56 females. Thero wero 25 deaths by conval- eions, 15 boy consumption, 9 by small- pox, ' and by poeumonia. Thirty-nine were under 1 year old. This decresse in deatha was not axpected. Considering the eold wenther the death rate is unusually low. For tho same weck last year thore wero 142 donths. There was a largo incroase last week in doaths by convalsions and pueumonis. The most marked features were the incronse by ncato in- flammatory diseases and tho decrease by small- 0X. Those under 20 suffered the most. The mean daily temperature of the week was sevon degrees lower than for the preceding one. Small-pox and varioloid cases have been reported a4 soventeen now places. This decrease is very great, thero being fifty less than for tho coire- spundhy week in 1872. Itis hoped from the steady decrease in cascs that the disease is com- ing to an end. The number of deaths by small- ox is accounted for by the low temiperaturo. For the samo timo, St. Louis lost thirty-five. e ———— 'THE BOARD OF POLICE. Tho Board of Police Commissionershad a meot- ing yesterdsy afterncon; a full attendance present. They exzmined the plan for the new station-house on Huron street, and made many alterations and suggestions. President Mason insisted upon many much-needed improvements in drainage, insistin apon the adoption of all sanitary measures for.the preservation of the igoners. He also favored the ides of having giztinct and separale cells for female prisoners. The- discussion upon the designe. was very ‘wide in it8 scope, and provided uitimately for a large number of improvements, occupying the attention of the Board for two hours. Among other improvements was a bath-room in con- templation for_the cleansing of dirty prisoners. A new plan will bo submitted to-day, which will bes great improvement upon the last in all respects. b Plans for an engine and hook and Indder house, on Chicago avenue, near Kingsbuy streeh, wero 2ls0 submitted, and sdopted with one or two alterations, The Bonrd decided ok to reinstato special “policeman McMahon, who was not recommonded for full service.

After some informal discussion, Mr. Taylor submitted the following resolutions : Reaolzed, That it 15 the scuso of this Committeo that 2 groat Infer-State Industrial Exbibition shall bo hold initio Cliy of Ghicngo during the coming fal, com- mencing on or sbout Sept. 15, and continuing four or more weoks, Reaolred, That the main oblect of the Exposition should to exhibit in systematic srrangement, in ono jmmensa collection, the prouucts of all kinds of me- cbanical, artietic, and industrinl skill and labor, fn- cluding 'the products of munufacturers, mines, inven. tions, ogriculture, hiorticulture, painting, sculptire,and all the trades ana arte, together with tho Taw and wrought materials of commerce in all forms, esalred, That while the main object of the Expo- sition shotild be as above, tho mansgement should also ovide umply for musical and other popular enter- Foinumente, aud aleo cordislly co-oporata sith any ve spectablo auxiliary sssociation that may undertakoto inaugurate o grand live-stock exbibition, to bo held in tho vicinity of Chicago during the term of the Expo- sition, = Resolced, That the Exposition should be mational and metropolitan in ita scope; that the peaple of all States snd all countrics be cordially in- vited to contribute articles for exhibition fn every department, and our friends from abroad be aesuzed of a warm welcome, hospita- blo entertainment, snd equal factiities in every re- spect. Resolced, That fn the opinfon of this Committee the most eligible location for such sn exposition ia that portion of the Lake Park eituated north of Congress sireet, the eame being in the great Burned District, Dear the heart of the city, near the central termini of all the street~car and omnibus lines, 88 well as within from two to ten minutes’ walk of all tho principal hatels, and all tho railwsy depots and steamboat land- ings of tho clty, tesolved, That much focation on the Iake front will bo equally accesaible from all divisions and suburb of the city, aad thus promote the comort and. convenienca 0 of citizens snd visitors from abroad, and espe- cially render fcasible the giving of evening entertain- ments, thus not only enlarging the sources of rovenue, but ounbling tho busiuess man, the mechanie, hé clerk, the Iaboring man, Gnd their es, compris- ing more than nine-tenths of tho population of the city and its suburbs, to cujoy the sdvantsges of tho Exposition and its suxiliary entertainments, evening afterevening, ot little or no cost for transportation, and without Infringing on the hours of labor or busi- ness, and interrupting tho city’s industries. Résolved, That in the opinion of this Commitice tho increased receipts resulting from each sccesaible cen- tral location of the Exposition, with its attendant ad- ‘yantages for.evening exhibitions, musical and other entertainments, regardiess of inclement weather, will be more than equivalent 1o the wholo cost of erecting even temporary, but ample and sttractive buildings, certalnly after allowing for the remaining value of ‘aterials atigr use tharein, Resolred, That while a permanent snnual exposition 1 Chicago 1» extramely desirable, and it s expected that such au institution will be the natural outgrowth of & successful issuo of tho preeent enterpriso, it feared that there now remains insufficient to consider and disposo of rival schemes, to clent capital for adequate, ent bufldings, and 10 erect the same in localities on tho outskirta of the city, and that such sn_ottempt at this time would Jeopardize the holding of an exposition this year at all. Resolved, Thot a mass meeting of the citizens of Chicago be called for the evening of Saturday, the 8t inst., at the Chamber of Cor ta Placs, to subscribe & _guaranteo capiial of $150,000; conditioned that no part of the subscriptions shail be called in until two-t of the amount is subscribed, 207 untl the city authorities ehall havo ted the frea use 0 Lake Park until the Ist of January nmext; and conditioned, also, that, s " eoon the t, a5 two o capiial is snbscribed, the stockholdors shall bo duly called together for permanent organization, and to elect o President, & Doard of Directora or ‘Cominis- sioners, and such other officers a3 they may doem Deo- easary o carry out their wishes, On motion, Messrs.

Bouton offered the following, which was adopied : Resolved, That & permancnt annual exposition in Chicago is oxtremely desirable, and we would recom- mend that the organization to be formed a8 pro- vided fn tho ninth resolution to maks the arrange- Taents for this Exposition, with the view of utilizing the expenditures as well 25 the profits that shall arise from the Exposition to continue tho organization per- manently. The Committee then adjourned. MR. NESBITT'S IMITATOR. Eccentric Conduct _of Mr. John Henry, of Lexiugion, Ky.—He Gives His Wallet to o Railroad Brakeman, Juwps from the Train, and Escapes Into tlie Woods. A very singular circamstance occurred on Sun- daylast on the Michigan Central Railroad, which gives color.to Mr. Colfax's story of Mr. Nes- bitt's money-giving peculiarities, by furnishing another instance of the eingular mania attrib- uted to that gentloman. 3fr. John Hoory, of Lexington, Ky., was on tho train, coming from Ottawa, Canads. There was nothing extraordi- nary in his manner or apprarance to attract at- tention, until ho produced s pocket-book sud offered it to 8 gentleman on the traiv, quite o stranger. This gentleman declining the present (as the illustrions Vico- President did not). Mr. Henry offered it toa second strangor, but he, with a foar of Credit Mobilier developments before his eyes, also de- clined. A third passenger was roquested to ac- cept tho singular donation, but bhad too much common sense and conscience to accept a hand- some present without giving quid pro quo, and therefore politely refased. Mr. ‘Henry, however, ereisted in his offers, just as poor Capt. Vanderdecker is roported to have done while en- deavoring to round Cape Horn. None of tho asgengers would sccopt his pocket-book. So e.went to the brakeman and besought him to do go. Tho brakeman, though astomshed, in his capacity of an oflicer of the rond'fll:erl:aps, recoived it and put it into his pocket. Tho donor meanwhilo remained on the platform, and, the train slacking speed between Niles and Buchan- a0, incontinently leaped from the stop and ran toward the woods. {'his was the last seen of the singular man. His wifo, Mrs. Margaret Henry, is new in the city, and 1s making inqguiries for her missing husband. Fears are cntertained that he has perished in the woods. PERSONAL. Anson, the Athletic third baseman, has chal- lenged any smatenr billiardist, or any profes~ sional, barring Nelms, Plunkett, and Estephe, in Philadelphia, to play him & match gsmo' of ‘billiards.

They Propose to Cut Down the Trees from Hobbard Court, Xorth, and Generally Improve the Thoroughfare. Committees Appointed to Look After the Intcrests of the Future Broadway. A largely-attended meeting of owners of property on Wabash avenue was held at tho Matteson Hopse, yesterdsy aftsrnoon, to con- sidor sundry strect improvements in which they aro specially interested. Dr. Ryder presided, 8nd Ald. McGenniss acted ay Secrotary. Mr. Briggs #aid, at an informal meeting of per- sous doing business and owning property on tho avenue, the condition of the thoroughfare, and its standing as a business street, wos discussed, andit was decided to call n general mesting, with the view of drawing attention to “the main thoroughfare of the city.” He had confidoneo in Wabash avenue, and nearly all others believed it would ultimate- 1y be the Eroadway of Chicago. It was consid- ered necesenry, as the spring business was com- mencing, that tho sidewalks be made uniform, and tho dead and live trees cutdown. Wero this done, the avenuo would become s promo- nade and business street. Capt. Averell had prepared tho petition, re- questing the Council to cause tho trees to be cut down north of Hubbard court, and to Iay a side- walk of nniform grado to the naw stroet line, on both sides of the avenue. Ho submitted it for tho npgmvn! of tho meeting. Mr. Prussing desired to attract the ladies, and fo do this it was essential to make tho streot at- tractive. Mr. Bowon said there was great need on tho avenue of & rotail dry-goods store, and an of- fort onght to bemade o get ono, as it wonld attract customors. Landlords should reduce their ronts, otherwiso no one would pay the ex- orbitant prices now ssked. J. Y. Scammon, he 60id, notably demanded bigh rents, The dry- goods stores wonld bonefit adjacent property, and owpers shonld be mors generous than they seemed disposed to bo, Nr. Giles thought it would not be proper to take any action in regard to high rents. -He enggeated that o committee be appointed to ook after the interests of the avenue, and to call meetings when they deomed them Bocessary. Mr. Dven thought the omnora of " property should be appealed to o cut down the trecs and construct a 16-foot sidowalk. All wanted the street improved, and why shonld they not do it, &nd mako Wabash avenue » business' thorought are. 3r. Avoroll said thero were a great many non- residents who owned property on the avenuo, u.udbl;en.ce Mr. Dwen's guggestion was imprac- ticable. Tho petition to the Council was adopted, and thoge present signed it. On motion, the following named gentlemen were appointed to look after tho interests of the svenuo: Mr. Averell, Mr. Giles, Mr. Wilmarth, Mr. Dwen, and Mr, Prussing. Ar. Dwon moved that s committee of three be appointed to wait on the property-owners and request them to coustruct sidewalks and cut dovwn tho trees. The owners shonld do _this. They conld not expect the whole city to do it, when they alone would bo benefited. Ald. McGenniss eaid tho property-owners wonld have to pay for the improvemonts some time, snd indorsed tho propositior. The motion was agrecd to, and the committes a8 thus constituted: Messrs. Dwen, Biggs, and McGenniss, Mr. Mathews cousidered it desirable to know how many of the vacant lots on the avenue would be built upon in a year or two yesrs, He ‘hoped the Committes of Five would be instruct- ed to find out. On motion tho Committeo were 8o instructed. Tho meeting then adjourncd. A WAIL FROM THE COUNTY CLERK.
