THE CHICAGO DALY’ TRIBUNEE g S sEas SUNDAY, JUNE 29, 1873, = . REAL ESTATE. The Signjficafice of the New Zra in the Lumber “Trade. Prohable Diversion of a Portion of he Business to South Chieago. How It Will Affect Real Es- " tate in That Direction. Tmprovements on the South Parks and in tho Neighhoring Suburhs. Auction Condition of the Market- and Other Sales. Transfers for the Week. The arrival of = raft of pine loge in the har- bor of this city from tho eastern shore of the 1ako ia & circumatence significant of important changes that will probably soon take place, not only in the lumber and vessel interests, but m the real estate interests of Chicago. It seems 10 bo demonstratod that tho cost of trangporting dumber from the pincries of Michigan o this xiarket, from where it s distributed all over tho Gouthwest, csn bo roducod at lesst 75 per cent by the new system of bringing it over m logs und sawing it up into lumber hero, instead of sewing tho logs into lomber &b tho pineries avd sbipping tho lumber beroin vessels. 5o great a saviog ss this can scarcely fail to revolutionize the lumber trade of thecity. The lumber instesd of coming here in ~vessels will come in tho shape of logs to bo saw- ed up bere. This would indicate tho transfer of 2 great majority of the eaw-mills of the Michigan pineries to thig city. Saw-mills require a largo amonnt of room and water-front, and if thero wera no place for these rafts of logs but Chicago River, and if noplaco could be found for the mills but slongits banks the costof dockage and ground would prevent much change in the lumbor trade. But the Calumet harbor eleven 1miles south of the moath of Chicago River could not be more conveniently located for the lumber trade of thecity. It isouly seven miles south of the city limits, and only eix miles from the Stock Yards. From the lutier point all the rail- road cars that come in from the west loaded with cattle and hogs are geat to tho various lumber ards along the Chicago River to be londed with inmber. Owing to the detontion in crossing streots aad othior railroads, and in getting room in the Jumber yards for the cars, there is always 8 grest losa of time. 1t sometimes takes several days to get empty cars from the Btock Yards to lumber yards. 1t is the necessity of bavin fower obstructions botoea them 2nd the Stoc) Yards that haa &nfi\ufly drawn the whoio lum- ber trade to the vicinity of Eighteenth and Twenty-second streots in the past fow years. But this change makes it necessary that four- fifths of all the veseels that come to this port Joaded witi: lumber shail pass up the main end Bouth branches of the river, thus obliging all the most througed bridges in the city tinually on the swing. Even if the lumber trade £id not increase, the s:eagg increase of all other Lrauches of the city'a trade would soon make this un iotolersble nuisance. It is .steadily making the distance, botwoen the West and Bouth Divisions practically _greater every year, and their interests would soon Lo 85 opposite as thoso of two diffr- ent towns, The influenco exercised by the lum- ber trade rlone to widen the division and eepa- Tale tho intercsls of the West and South Di- Sision, of tho city may be estimated from tho fact that, out of 12,824 vessel arrivals at this ort in 1872, over 6,000 of the vessels wero o2ded with lumber. A great majority of the 6,000 csrgoes of Inmbor wore towed the en- tire distance of three miles from the mouth of the river up' tho Main apd South Dranches us far s Eighteenth etreet. Eachcargo obliging tho eight bridges on ike ronte G bo tarned twice,—once to let the loaded vesselin, and once to lot the empty veseel out. Thus, fully half the bridge-turning in the most densely built up pact of the city is caused by towing the tumber almost antirely through the centre of tho city. The paesage of this vast_smount of ton- page through the down-town bridges is of great dzmago to the value of adjacent property. “The mearness of tho Jumber yards 15, of course, a partial offsel o this ge, bat it is seafe o say that _al tio property north of Twelfth Bireef, is dam- eged more than itis beuefited by the lumber |. trade, and suything that would divert one-half of the lumber trade to some more convenient locality like tha Calumot Biver would be s beno- : to tho whole citv. Itis quito apparent that in view of the bridge question, the harbor of this city ia too small to accommodate the Jumber trode, and t thesame time all the other tonnage tusimess that comes into this port. Then again tho Jumber trade must necessarily be done where iand is the cheapest, provided thero are fair facilitics for sonding cars to the lumber yards from_the Siock Yards. The Calmmot harbor affords all thees advantages. Three direct lines of railroad connect the_Union Stock Yards with tho Calumet harbor, and &t tno lattor place land for s lumber yard fronting tha river can be bought for about one year's rent of the same aron of land on tho South Branch of Chicago iver. Thus it will appear that even it the now Exstem of the lumber-trade of towing rafls =cross the lake had not been inaugurated, the ovarcrowded condition of Chicago River must 5oon drive some of thie tonnage busivess to the Calumet River. It would, however, bo utterly impracicable te bring rufts mto Chicago River without driving away the tonnage business, and it is apparent that the Iumber trade must, sconer orlater, go to the Calumet barbor. Nothing couid bo dovised by art go well adaptad to the naw business of rafting logs from Michigan. to Do sawed np here, 08 the numerous small lakes connocted with the Calumet River. Theso could be filled up with ratis of logs, and eaw-mills located st the north end of Calu- met Lake would Do within 2 miles of Washington Heights, i within 5 miles - of Euglewood, six miles of Hydo Perk, and soven miles of the Union Stock Yards. All these are important outposts of the city, end in & few years will b practically part of the city. The iversion of the lumber trads to Calumet River and lakes would not be a loss {0 any part of the city, but would only be its natural gravitation to & place bettor adapted to it tuan our present crzmped harbor. . The diversion of tho lumber trade, Bowever, is only the forermnner of what must eventually follow in the case of €uwe other trades. Tho izou trade of this city is only in its infancy, but the Lake Buperior supply of the raw material is inexhaustible, and in s few years the iron-fonn- dries, rolling-mills, and cognatelines of business in this city will probably roach proportions nok dreamed of by the majority of our citizens now. ‘Those also will requiro a vast increase of arcs ard dock-front, which csonot be furnished on Chicago River, and will necessarily go to the Calumet. AT CORNELL. - Within the past three months thore have been not less than thirts dwellings erected within a Tudius of balf & mifo from the watch factory at Cornell. Tesides these, tho Hall Manufacturing Company’s works have been completed. Thesa comprise a mein building two stories high and 302130 feet, and a wing 30x00. The Company have erccted 12 cottages, each 20x32, for their workmen, of whom they now employ 40, and will €oon employ 100. TheSe, with their families, and the ueunily attondsut grocers, doctors, oc., etc., will mako an addition of frou: 500 to 500 persons to the populstion of Cornell this sum-~ mer. AT WASHINGTON HEIGHTS. The laying of the corer-stone of the Mount Vernon Academy 2t Washington Heights was cenducted with imposiug coromonios vesterday. The founding of this institntion is ouly one of the many - instances of enterpriso and liberality ia the expenditure of money by which the land proprietors m that besutifal suburb are meiing it'one of the most derireble places of residence for people of culture that cam be found in ow suburbe. Tho propriotors of Wash- ington Heights saw what the Evanston Collega done for that place, and have profited by its examplo. Washington Heights will mot anly have two of as fine_ educational institations 89 there are in the West, but it already has s con- venient and rel’able a mesns of transit from the business centre of the city to its suburban ‘homes a3 it i3 possiblo for any suburban town to Leve. People who want fo make suburban homes begin to soo this, aod thero is perliaps moro activity in the émmhmiu and sale of lsnd at Washington Hfi% ts than at any other sub- urban place sbout the city. DMPEOVEXENT OF THE BOUTH PALKS. ‘The South Park Commissioners Lave decided upon the general charactor of the improvements that thoy will make this year. Tho work will consist of the improvement of Pavilion Park- way end the construction of a road which will be continnous from the south end of Grand Boule- vard alorg thy west and south lines of the Wost- ern Park to the west line of the South Shore Park, thence north along the wost lino end cast along the north line to the lake, and down the Inke shore to the southeast corner of the South 8Shore Park. They also intend to improve the north 100 acres of South Bhore Park, the origi- nal plan of which is to be changed somewhat in details. The work on the Park etreets wiil be bogun st once, and the improvemente op the north 100 acres of the Bonth Bhore Park will be begun as soon as the details of the plans for them can bo worked out to correspond with the changes decided upon. THE CONDITION OF TIE MARKET. . It cannot be said that thero hes beon muck, if tuy, increase in the setivity of real estato busi- ness during the past weok, but there is unques- tionably a feoling of more confidenco in regerd to tho probable increase of yalues in somo quar- ters, ~The most ation st preseat is in the lands in_ the westorn and sonthwestern suburbs, from tho vicinity of Contral Park sround to Dongles Park, Brighton, Englewood, Washington S’:ifhm. and Cornell.

Chief Justico Farwell, of the Circuit Court, yesterdsy rendered his docision in tho case of Harriot McCord ot al. v. Petof L. Yos, which complainant, applied for the sppointment of a Receiver to take charge of certain proporty dur- ing the litigation 0s to tho will of John McCord, decensed. Tho Couft stated, 8s his opinions that tho complainants did not show a case that Toquired tho. interposition of the Court, s prayed for. It sppeared that Yoe was a friond, and hsd the confidenco of Jason MeCord, from whom tho proports originally came ; that b woa united with JohnjMcCord in the administration of Jason'a estat that he had the full confidencodf John McCord and the man- agoment of tho property during Lis lifetimo. After tho final sottlement of tho estato of Jason MeCord, John medo Yoo his ngent to manags his businoss, tako caro of tho property, both roal and_personal; that Lo wes probably bettor c- | quainted with' the eitustion of the property and moro_competent_to manugo it than any other person who could be named; that thore was no pretenso but that ho was entitcly responsiblo, or that ho was managing the business injudiciously. Ho was named executor in Lhe disputod will; the will had _been proved before the County Court, lottors had boen issucd to him, and ha'was, in fsct, in fall possossion of tho osteto bofore tho appeéal was taken from tho County Gourt to tho frenit Court, of tho judgment of probato.

Tho Court understood Yoo in substanco as say- ing, both in his_nswer fand by counsel in tho arguments, that if sny fears uro_ontertained 8 to his Tosponsibility, o if itis thonght that it swonld be proper for him o give security, ho stands ready to do 50, ud that” Lo is also roady to present an_accoutt in tho Court showing the condition of the catato, innsmuch s an appeal was taken beforo such papors could be propared to bo filed in a probate court, and_that ho will stand roudy at all times duringtho litigation over tho will to pay over to the widow or any of the heirs, under tho ordor or approval of thus Court any moneys to which they may bo cntitla HG offers £o do all the complainants have & right to roquiro of him, and the Court held that it would bo injudicidus to take the property out of tho hands of ono who was so fully trusted by ita original owners, and who understands its situas tion, and is apparently mozo competent to man- 8ge it than any othor persox who would be liko- Iy to bo solected, Tho Court statod in conclu. sion that, upon defendant's filing & consent that 80 ordor hall bo entorod by which ho submits to tho discrotion of tho Court in the particular abova referred to, ho would overrulo thie motion for 8 Recsivr, bit with the undorstanding that he should allow tho motion to be renewed hers- after if thero shall be such & chango of circum- stances aa shall soem to warrant the interposi- tion of tho Court. . ROTATION IN THE PULPIT. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune : _Bmm: Tor & few weols past, there has been a little ripple of gosaip in & certsin oirclo of chureh-going socioty in. this city, in regard to 3 movement in one of our oldest congregations to ‘shake off tho old pastor, who, for thirty years, has baptized their children, married thejr young men and women, and said the Iast sad words at the graves of those who have gone henco ont of their number, in that period of time. It happens, in perhaps a majority of cases, that o now church is the forerunmer of & demand for a new preecher. To & congrega- tion ambitions to have the most fashionable church, the biggest organ, the mosf luxuriously cushioned seats, the most rainbow-colored win- dows, and other such accessories to the cultiva- tion of devotional feelings 83 are considercd prime necessities by a certain ciass of our newly- crented sristocracy of weslth,—to a congrega- tion, we eay, whose devotions are divided between the God of Jsrsel and the God of Mammon, it frequently secms only a slight variation of the parabio of tho now wino and-tho oid Dottles, to put tho ssmo old homely preachidg into o splendid new church. Tho congrogation referrod to have recently built a new church-edifico, and, whils it is prob- able that such considerations as those above in- dicated may have had their sharo in starting the movement to_quietly push tho old pastor ont, thera are nnquestionably also somo othors that ‘possces & decper moral iuterest, as indicating 5 change cither in the standard of intellectnal culture in tho congregation, or, what is moro . probablo, a' chango. in ‘their views of religion in general, sud of Calvinism in particalar. “The and main com- | plint agninet tho prosent pastor is, that he does not interest and Tetain the young members of the congrogation, as Lo did their pareuts. This caunot be ascribed to any failure in the in- telloctual powers of tho pastor,—for, though he has occupied his_present 1{)1:&; for over thirty years, ko is still vigorous in both bodyand mind, a hard stadent, and as liberal as the tenets of his Church. But the young people, aud many of the old ones, Liavo been straying away from time to time tolistento the epeculative {resching of the day. They havo dipped into the books of sueh wiiiors oy Darwin, Bponcer, Carpanter, Lyell, Mas Muller, aud, possibly, Colenso. Tho result is that theso nibbling shoep have lost confidence in the literal truth of the traditions of the six days of creation and of Noah's flood. They find delight no wmore in the doctrine of the foreordained plan of the creation and fall of man, and turn up their ngses at the doctrine of election. These are the docirines which tho pastor hny for many years.inculeated from the pulpit, aud which tho congregntion have devoutly belioved and endeavored to impress on the minds of theirchildren,at least up to with- in a few years. The harmonious connection of people and pastor for thirty years is presumptivo evidenco that, if there was any special objection to the latter of a personal character, it would have developed some movement like tho present yoars 8go. We must, therefore, conclude that it is not the man, bat,the doctrine, that fails to bo s convincing to the same people it did & quarter of & century 2go, and that the dissatis- faction of this particular congrogation is ouly ono instance of hundreds that might be cited to show that, while the average intellectual culture of congregations has been greatly ineroascd, the doctrincs have become fossilized in their old dogmatic forms. Therange of the preach- er's thought, or at least the Liberty of his vmachmi. is confined in s dilapidated medieval castle, who se antiquated walls are venersble 1 with the ivy of precedent, and whoso halls and | out an implement ; mnat tear tho pieces of Texas | so'hool-: towors are cach haunted by its particular goblin.

J, G, and Flarvey Brown aro Fixing Up for the Good Livers of Chicago. There is & sort of general iden in the city that tho graceful Buena Vista stone building which fronts on Clark and Madison streots is intended for & restsurant that shall, in pofnt of richness af finish and excollence of dosign, rival anything in the country, Delmonico’s New York establish- ments not excepted. But nobody outside of the privileged few who huve been allowed accees to the still incomplote building can form sny idea of tho lavish axpenditure which the owners bavo thonght proper to make “Brown's,"—a characteristioc featuro of our magnificently re. built city. Handsome and artistic as the ex- terior, with its columns and carvings, may be, it bears to the intorior only that relation which the rugged sholl doos to the luscious kernel ‘within, nnd the proprietors have this advantage, that while their cuisino may only b equal to the vory best on_ the continent, the building, with ita appointments, is Yer ahead of anything in the country. A reporter was yesterday shown thronghtho building by Mr, Brows, of *Browna,” and allowed to oo for himself. *If we have not the best there is,” said Mr. Brown, ¢ wo will try it over again; butwo think wo have done pretty well as it is.”” There is no immediate danger of Mr. Brown's having to do it over again, The only change to be expected is that ho will bave to find a place where ho can have ‘more room, for when once the public have come to know of *“ Brown’s,” they will waat to be thoro en masse. By tho middle of next month Qx{:y will havo an opportunity to seo for thom- selves. " That everything 2t “Brown's” may te equal to the very besgin the world, there are ten French cooks, tho chicf of Whom, an ologant gentleman who looks like & capitalist, enjoys a salary lnrger thon that of the County Clerk. That these artists may bo cramped in nothing, they have tho most elogant kitchen accommoda- tionsin tho city. The room in which mest is to bo placed to ripen by the butcher of the estab- lizhment, is designed to hold tons of ico to keap it fresh ; the wine-room in tho basément is kept at an even temperature; tho baker hns & bakory apart from tho rest of the culinary de- partment ; the amount of ice that can bo stowed awny. would frecze anybods to think of. These are one or two of the features of the basement. Going up-stairs, the visitor- finds himself ina largo - dining-room, paved with marblo. Tho columns_ of the Gucrway zre of French walnut, richly venoored, with flowering capitals of & lighter wood. Tho wainscot is of three distinct kinds of wood, cxquisitoly polished ; tho eciling richly frescoed. The entrance to this room is on Madison street. Pessing through tho folding- doors to the gentlemen’s lunch-room, one comes upon a room yhich challengea competition in this country. The walls are wainscoted 8 in tho dining-foom, tho floor paved with ‘marble, and the cetling freacoed most artistically. There 8o gnmlnnfsa in the calgflng, l.v;;:hghe fo%lmg f rvades eve ing. Over The'bar ar thres Tnivrors, the cendre ous within four inches of fifteen feot in length, and more thag eight foet high. Tho bar and the lunch- counters, designcd by Mr. Wilcox, formerly & partner of Messrs. Burling & Adler, are, without * sny oxcoption, the moss oxqui- sits pieces of workmanship of their kind in _ ths country.

Re- liéved with marblo ot tlo bage and a layer of marble beneath the walnat slab above, thess two counters are withont an cqual in the country.

To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune : Sz : If you will grant me space, I will say & word sbout the monagement of, and condition of things in, our County Jail.. What I report is not from guesawork, or on the representation of others. Ay information was acquired during a short incarceration within the walls of that far-from-delightfa) suburb ol Johet. Of Mr.. Foltz, the Jailor, I can make no complaint. Porhaps no more humane man could be found to fill the position than he. Bat, it ho is granted any discretion in the matter of whichIam about to speak, he should exercise it in behalf of the poor devils forced to reside with him. The walls of the jail'are thick and strong ; the roof and floor sre of iron and stone, well con- structed, and will hold out against the most strong and skillful jail-breaker to force an open- ing in one night's “work ; the doors are thick, strong and securely locked,—cannot be forced, Now, prisoners are secure in such guarters, but are mado doubly eecuro by placing two or more in strong cells with immense iron doors, and everything that the unfortunate inmates could have about them,—from s, 64-pound Columbiad downto w quill foothpick,—that could in any way aid them to effect an exit, is taken from them. They must conzume their rations with- stoer giver: tham £ est, with tho tooth or fingors ; d drink the gravy, neither knifonor spoon | /fall, a fine stone chureh and = large brick school. being allowed. o ' house, for which his parishoners bave already Now comes my chiof complaint: About 8 p. § largely subscribed. s m., overy cell is darkencd,—made more gloomy and scholars of the | $8.73; J than before, if possiblo,—and tho littlo fresh air- in cireulation shut out, by theclosing of the (ox~ trs) izon doors or Dlinds, leaving but s verys small crack gbove and below the blinds to ven- buman and barbsroas. d to make the colls uncomfortablo, and for the punishiment of all confinod in tho 'prisan, thoy the bill to the letter; if intendod, sbould mot be used. 80 thoy bring myself ioto notice.

Co Track—Locomotive and Cars Smashe ed, and Passengers Frightenca bnt Not Hurt. A collision occurred yesterday morning on the Chicago, Cincinnati & Indianapolis Contral track, botwoon Lake and Fulton stroots, which, though froo from personal injuries, was Jot rather ox- westorn's track on Kinzio streot, by a conple,of curves, which open out likoa Y from Fulton street. About half-past 9 o’clock the incoming Danville and Vincennes train, composed of four passcnger coaches, and 8 baggage-car, had just abont reached the point where it would curve around o the right to get on tho-Kinzie stroet track, when a Northwestern engine, with fonr empty freight cars of the Rockford, Rock Island & 8t. Louis Road backed down on the western curve, snd the two, both moying at a fair rato of speed, came togethor a fow yards south of Fulton strect. Tho engineer and firo- man on the Danville train saw the wrath that was coming, and jumped off unharmed. The firet two freight cars were scparated from the tracks and ditched, both badly shaken and pomewhat eplintered. The third jumped over the smoke-stack of the ongine without injuring it, wns torn from ite_trucks, and remained rest- ing fairly on top of tho cab, and at right-angles with the engino.- The other car was un- harmed. The locomotive—No. 3—was badly injured, _Tho (z]inder-cnp was knocked off, eome of tho rods broken, and the boilsr so much shinken that the water ram out in & steady stream. Tho baggage-car was thrown over on one sido 8o that ono of the sills of the body of the car reated on the ground. Nobody was.in it, and it contents wore not damaged, morely & little shaken up. It remsained coupled to the first pasronger coach, which was not damaged at all. ‘Tho passengers were much frightenod by the sudden shock, and bundled oat on tho prairie in great haste. None wore dsmaged, and since they were but s few blocks from the Lake siroot cars, they footed it ovor to thom and thus got down town.* The freight car still remains mounted on top of the locomotive, and has had 23 many visitors as the circns.
