Morgan filed abull yesterday in the Supernior Court which w.ll faruh at least thice bours' reading to the luck- less defendants,—Henry Faantleroy, ‘Thomas 8. Fagntleroy, and the Merchants' Savings, Loan, end Trosc Company. Complainauts state that on the Gth of Febraary, 1873, Sextus N. Wilcox msce a contract with Fauntleroy & Co., he rep- Tosenting Lis own one-haf interest and the one-half intérost of Daniel K. PDear- soo8 on the logs going to and teferred to as the Enox & Gibbs' job, and eaid Leater C. Morgan the one-hslf of certain other jobs, 1maud Ly which it was sgreed toat both Parties above inentioned sbould form s Joiut _Aaventme Company. And whereas Wilcox biad, going inio White River, Mich., from 7,000,000 to §,000,000 feet of pine san-logs, he agreed to sell them'to the Adventure Company. Wileox also eareed to tarn over the first et of cortain lands, iacladinz 400000 feet from Sec. 18 on How- laud's job. Tao logs wera to be wostly white puwe, of good quality, and their piice to sary sccording to the size. Ile also aereed toput thy logs in White River in trim for Lue “arive™ of 1873. nvd the Company agreed to eaw all the logs 10to lnmber and lath, The lum- ber was to be taeasured by & © scaler " by Sarib- ner's rule, whero it was_sawed, fhen ty be shipped to Chicago auda eold for the benefit of the Company, aud the profits to be divided equally Leiwcen the first aud second parties. Tue Fauntieroy's were to give their yard at ac- taal cost, to take care of the Iumbder on its ar- xival, and sid in selling it, buc were nct to re- ceive suy salary, They twere also to use their | entire caputal, which was mot to be less than $30,000, and oltain bank credit for $20,000 more, if possitle, and to pay amount the logs cost as fast ds possible. The toitract was to close April 1, 1874, and the re- maiving lumber to be gold theu ab the best price it would bring, an account to be taken, and the profits to o divided. If auy differeuces should wrise, they were to ba submitted to R. F.

The Dooming Company | does mot do the work directly, but employs zente, who take the logs indiscriminately, and | lend them down the river mixed togather, aul they are then separated at the mill grounde, each awaer having, of course, put s mark on his ob,” which marks are registered in the Record~ 6 office of thie proper county. Complainants Allege that thoy, agrecable to their. contract, put the logs into the White River in timo for the I "of 1673, The river mt the place ‘where these Ings were put in is & narrow stream, 0d wav filled rull of loge. The quantity of logs inthe White River averages 100,000,000 feet, and ! year wag larger than usual. Owing to the Preas, and to tho nogligence of the drivers,” L3¢ logs were not all driven down, though they #ere all put afioat, and the failure was in no way O¥ing {0 the fault of the complainant. Tbey charge that the. logs became, from: the time ey wero placod 'ready for tho - drive, e property of the Adventure Company, d any logs must be borne by the Company, 22dnot by them alons. The defeudants have ffl_ kept their word in employing a sealer se~ u’fted by both partics, but_have taken one of el own selection, who has not accurately gkeunxed the logs, and by whose measurement herare mot bound. It is also alleged that Tauntleroy & Co.

This Har- ria objects to very sticnuously, alleging (hat his promises were not made for a rolling- mill or machine-thop, though etrong enough for ordipary wear. The heat of the boiler has also seriously cracked the walls and plastering, and creates groat danger of fire.

PRESIDENT DURROUGHS' RESIGNATION. It appears that, ot a meeting of the Board held Dec. 80, the Committeo submilted the fol- lowing letter from President Burroughs : " Crmcaco, Dec, 30, 1873, The Committes on Unicersity Orgameation': GeNTLEMEN : Allow me to ask that, at the meeting of the Board of Trustees to_be held fo-duy, you pri- pent my resignation of the Presidency, which a year 80T placed in your hands, In making this request, Tneed refer to o other roaons than those which § bave often urged upon the attention ¢f the.Comumit- tee, 28 well oa” that of the Board of Trusiees in full meeting. So fur back as the autumn of 1371, fmmediately atter the great fire, some of ou who wewe present st on iuformal mectig of Trustees, held for consultution Teepecting the interests of the Univereity, will remem- ber that T sent to that mesting my unqualified resig- nation, assigning in full my resous. Up to that time ihere wus ground to hope that the effort to discharge tha beavy delt in which the Trus- tees umexpectedly found themeelves involved on the completion of Douglus Hall, in October, 1406, was mear o successful termination, and that I could be relleved from tlie doulle work of futernal ad- miniatratin and of aesisting to grovido for gnancial ‘unte, and allowed to devote mysalf to my proper du- ties. 'Dy the great disaster which then suddeniy bad overaken our city, involving many of the fricnds on wuom o University mot relled, it bad become claar (bat & large pust of what had bech done to provide for our debts” must be done over agein, and it reemed to me disustroud {0 the Univereity viut the care of its in- terésts ason inetitution of lesrning—a work alone enough for the undivided strergth of thie best tlat could Le commanded for it—should Le devolvi upon one wLo was expected at the sume tine t0 pro- vide for ita 1ressing financisl wants, While all adn:it- ted the force of this view of our condition, was pought iu other means thun my resi for theyest twoyeurs, while discharging as e could my duties s President, 1 have done what I coule, with the efiiclent asmstanca of our Buuucial gL, the Rev, C.

It is fur from my design to infer rezsons for discour- agement from theko r.verees, Ou the cou rary, there is evorything in the rircumstances of the University to supply motive to laboz, aud hope and faith in ultimte success.

The pro- posed scope of the University is, however, much wider Tioa that of any mers collega, At present thero is, in sddition o the Claseical Colicgiate I">purtment, 8 Col- Jege of Law, which, under {he Faculty organization of (s present year takes its plsce with the foremost Echiools of this clars, The plan of the Toiversity oon- tomplates the addition of otber schoole, profersional 20d scientific, and it i only comploting ita scheme, i the addition of such schools, that it con be made an aducational power in the dégree contemplated by iie founders. The subject of preparatory and academical edncation is also cue of great imrortance to the ends $roposed in any complete eystem of university in- Struetlon.

THE FIXANCES. The report proceeds to stuto that & mesting of the Board, specally to consider financial ques- tions, will be beld in o fow days, and so0n aftor- wards the Committeo will give an exhibit show- ing what i8 needed.

A meeting of the real-cstate dealers and proms inent citizens of this villige was held ac the depot Saturday evening, to consider the griev- ances inflicted on them by the Chicago & North- westein Railroad Oompany. Fora year or so the Barrington saccommodation train left the city at 9 a. m., and stopped av all Intermadiate stations. This fall soveral changes in ths trains and time-table wero made, and, amongst others, the above train was taken off, and tho Desplatnes accommodation Y,:I. on, The latter train stopped ouly as stations between taese two poiunts whea flagged. Wby this tiain sbou'd bave been jn such haste to reach the Deaplsines River is an inscrutable mystery. This tcain was eoon taken off, and the Green Buy express, in the morning, made to do accom- modation-business. This 18 now the moming sccommodation, leaving the city at 340 and stop- ping at all stations with the exception of Norwood Park. It is thus action of the management that Las called forth 2 protest trota those intercsted in ths suburb. ‘The sggravating feature of . tha caxe is, that thig train otops et the smallest sta- tions on this airision, Norwood Park furnishes sixty regu'ar commutives, while Canfeld. a mile beyond, only furnishes two, and yet bas 8 morn- ing train from the city, while the former has no tiain from tha city until 4:10 p. m. The real-cstate dealers who wero previoasly doing & good bLusiness have lately been uaable to mako sales. owing o the fack that they have no way of {aking putchasers out to inspect property withiout keeping the laiter awav from bome over night. Itis not the inconvenience 50 much as the injury to the prosperity of tho vitlage in not having the same accommodations a8 emaller towns that they complain of. iy The following gentlemen were appointed a committeo to wait on the officers of the road and subamit the case : T.

These resolutions were presented to the Board st a special meoting held Saturday Sventus, and wero backed 4p by petition to the #ame effect, sisned by thirty-four persons, who represout 6,000 feet of property. The chief rea- son given fcr desiring this pestponement is the oresent difficulty in collecting funds for sssess- meuts or any other purpose. i aae The United States Life Insurance Compa~ ny--Twenty-Fourth Annual Report.

VEGETABLES YOR TIE POOR- A communication was received from Sanitary Buperintendent Miller as follows: The attention of the Board has Lern called fo the fact that your honorable body are not issuing to the poor who are helped at the Connty Agents office any portion of vegetables, but in lieu thercof have subsii- tated beans and hotoiny. By direction of the Board of Health, I desirs to call jut siteation {o the above, and a8k you to consid results, At prosent you have about 4,978 fambics on the books of the otfice, which will averags four per- s0na to the family. This makes about 19,500 perrous recelving aid from the county, wholly or in part, o large portion of whom have 10 other means of sup- port. _ The faflure to fasue vegetables srill necessarily cut off 8 large portion from “uaing anythiag of it kind, for many of them are aged and decrepit, and a percentags of the others are feeble, and many confirmed fnvaligs, The resuit of the deprivation of vegetatles will be a tendency to develop scorbutic diseases, and an wcreased death- rate. While1 deprecate the idea of increasing the expenscat this time, I would ask your homorablo Boad to ro arrange the rations fssucd to the poor that they will receive s fair proportion of vegotables, If this cannot be done for ail, I would reccmmend tbat the County Agzent be authcrized to fssue them at lesst to tho oged aud feeble, If thisfs dene, it will in the end be a saving to Caok County, and you will have Jess sickness among the poor whoi you suypert. If ft s not done, it wil not only increaxe tho sickness and deatb-rate, but it will incresso the expeuse of carlug for them. . .
