4 THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIRUNE: SUNDAY, MAY 24, 1874. LOCAL MISCELLANY, GEORGE W. THOMPSON. THE CHICAGO BAR. A meeting of the Chicago Bar was held yester- day afterncon in the libraryrooms of the Law Institute, at the corneruf LeSalle and Adams streat, for the purpose of expressing the regret of the body at the death of Mr. G.&V. Thomp- Fon, a momber. The meeting was presided over by Jadge E. S. Williams. Mr, H. 8. Monroe paid a high tribute to the memory of the deceased, with whom he had been personally intimato fora number of years. He eulogized in fitting terms Lis extremely amiable character and undoubted talents. Mr. Kendig, of whose law firm the deceased ‘hagd been & member, gave an interesting sketch of his biography, of which the following is & condensation : d George W. Thompson was bom in 1823 in Nortbampton, Mass., in the valley of the Con- wecticut River. His family was one of the old- est in the Berkshire Hill country of Massachu- Beits. He received his education in Amberst College, and for some time anb:m{ueufly taught » achool at_Clifton Springs, N. Y. It was in | Newark, N. J., that be studied law, and it way thore that he began to praotice Lis profession. He came to Chicago 1n 1851, and entered apon the practico of law, his otlice bauy in a lit- tlo frame building ou the northwest corner of the Court-House Square. At that time the | Court-House was & small wooden building, mean of appearance, aud of extremely incommudious construction. ' Shortly after arriving hers ho was juined by his brother, Jobn A. Thompson, 2ud the firm carried on business for some time. Jobn A. Thompson was elected City Attorney in 1856, under Blayor Boone's adminisiration, aud heand thedeceased ran the law department of the city conjointly while thas sdmunistration held power. % Tt was due to their exertions that the city or- dinances, previously in a badly mixed up condi- tion, were fully classified, their compiiution re- maining in use ten years later, when Judge Gary resrranged them. The doceased ran for Judge of the Superior Court on the Democratic_ticket in 1838, but was defeated. At the breaking out of the War Jobn Thompson entered the army, and, after rezching the rauk of Captain, died in battle at Frenklin Pike, Tennessee. Upon the departure of his brother, the deceased fomod » partoership with Ar. J. A. Kendig, the tirm continving business until the death of decexsed last Wednasdsy. He was a member of the Episcopel Church, having been confirmed by the presont Bishop Cumming in 1864, when_ihat divine was Rector of Trinity Chareh. Upon Dr. Cummins’ elevation to the Assistant Bishoprie of Kentucky, he joined Christ Church uuder Dr. Cheney, 2nd, when the Ecelesiastical Court was convened to try him, be sppeared as proctor for the defense, and it_was in pursuing the cultivation of this new field of Iabor that he fell intoepilsptic tendencies, which ew upon him, and finally resulted in deasth £ Wednesdsy at Danville, Livingston County. near Rochester, N. Y., wiuther he had gone for Lis kealth, On motion & committee was appointed, con- sisting of Mesers. Melville Fuller, H. S. Monroe, J. A. Kendig, R. Hervey, and L. G. Hooke, to prepare suitable resolutions to be presented at & meeting of the Bar to be leld at Laif-past 1 o'clock to-morrow afternoon. The meeting then adjourned. TOLLESTON CLUB. At 2 meeting of this club, of which Mr. Thomp- son wus President, held yesterdsy afisrnoon at tho offica of Mr. S. M. Moore, 119 LaSallestrcet. the following resolutions Were unanimously adopted: WiERTAS, God, in His wisdom,has scen fitto remove from onr midst our President, friend, and _brother, = fit that we who have knowa bis virtues and appreciated and enjoyed his friendehip, stock and good will of the place, and commenced operations tending toward the Tuin of souls and the filling of druukards’ graves, How hisefforts would have been rewarded, if the liquor had Leen genuine, 16 a mere matter of speculation. Customers came in, called for drinke, and poured their gluseful. Then they looked 2t ono another in muto surpriso, Like Bill Nye, they inade re- marks highly derogatory to the reputation of the party who dealt ont their fluid; aud then they cursed with an emphasis and perseverauce jus- titied only by the circumstances of the case. “They seldom called for a second drink. On the contrary, they shunned the sedactive bowl, end damoed the perfidious deatroyer of human happi- nees who sold it. Diecouraged by these reproofs, Mr. Samuels sought to drown Lis prief i his owa fluid. He drauk glass after glass, pint after pint, quart alter quart. It was soon evident that either he ossessed a marvelouely strong beud, or miracu- Rmsls weak whisky. i{iu wife inclined to the latter theory, aud "eveu went so far as to deride his credality, After drinking four kegw of di- luted lager, Alr. Samuels began to suspect Afr. Joseph of a breach of commercial etiquette. Meetig him on the street, he sugpested, with the mildness of his own fluids, thut the fatter bud swindled him. )rs, Samuels happened to be present, and lauuched at tha perfidious seller epithets whose inteusity was sarprising, consid- oring the pescetul character of the neighbor- hood, r. Josoph, whose patience was i sad con- trast with thut of his illustrions predecessor, turned upon the namesake of the prophet, and vatered him. Loud were the cries of the ¢ for the polico, but their criea ug. They were chastised for ro- monstrating, and the marks of their chastise- mont are still upon them. Finding muscle ‘of 10 avail sgainst porfidy, they appoaled to the law in the persou of” Justice Haiues, chmging 3r. Joseph with obtaining mouey on false pre- tousee. A hungry Constable ~grasped the warrang for Mr. Josoph's arrcst, and eagerly served it. To-dsy the defendunt is busily engaged 1o thinking out a vleusivle defense, If the crugnders do not step in and justify him, what will the poor man do when Juitice Haines asks hini to-motrow why he should not be com- mitted in the Crimival Court ? g BARBARA INM'MAHON IN TROUBLE AGAIN. Although Mrs. Mcllabon succeoded in freeing herself from an incumbrance in the shapo of ahosband 2, few months ago, she does not seem to be wholly relieved from trouble yet. A bill was filed yesterday in the Cirouit Court against herto wet aside an alleged {raudulent conveyance. John E. Darbey and -John A. Porter, tho complainants, stats that, at the March f{erm of the Circuit Court, they ebtained a judgment against Mrs. Mc3ahon, aliss Afrs. Rose, for the sum of 3335. Execution was iesucd, but returned ““no propo:- ty found.” It is alloged that shortly prior to the rendition of the yndgment Mrs. 3Mo3fahon-Rose, in anticipation of some such unfortunate event, carefully put bor property where it would do the most good—rto herself, —by conveying it in trost to one Adam J. Wecklin. He was to hold it, pay the taxes, and his fees, and give hor the remain- der of the income therotrom, and also to convey it us she should direct. Notwitlstauding the lady’s assertion on'the triel of the divorce caea tliat she waa nos worth more than $20.000, the complainants maintaia timt the property 80 convesed was worth about +100,000. It consists of the east 2 961-1000 acres of Block 2, aud all of Blook 6, in Lill & Diversy's Subdivision of the S.W. 3/ of the N. W. 3/ of Scc. 29, 40. 14, Also, Lots 4 and 3, except’ the S.

S0 feet of the S. 120 feet of that part west of Piue strect, in Block 21 of Capal Trustces’ Bubdivision of the south frac- tional part of Bec. 3,39, 14. Not feeling entirely should give appropriste expression to tie fealing cauzed by this sad bereavement ; therefore be it Resolved, Taxt we bave heard With sorrowand pro- found regret of the event which has deprived Caicsgo of an estimable and exemplary citizen, sociefy of 2 Christisn gentleman, his family and friends of one whoss Iove was sincere and true a» Lis heart was true, 2nd our Club of one who, in his official character snd his daly life, reSected those qualitics which we most sdmire in a sportamun, love in & friend, honor in a man, snd revere in a Ohristian, Resolved, That we tender 10 his bereaved wife and Children our sincore sympsthy in tnis, theic decp al- 2.

Hongh filed & bill in the Superior Court yesterday against the Cook County Land Company. Hough says thet on tha 24th day of -May, 1873, being posseszed of the undivided 3 of the E. 3} of Sec. 13, 37, 14, the undivided X¢ of the W. 3§ of the . W. 3/ of Sec. 18, 37, 15, and the undivided 3§ of the K. W. 3 of the §. W. X of Sec. 18, 37, 15, be engaged tobuy 365 shares of stock in the Cook County Land Company, and puy for it by deeding to the Company tha land zbove described. The officers of the Lana Compauy, Hough al- leges, claimed thet the Company nad power to borrow and loan money, to teie lands and mort- gages in security for loans, meke improvements on their property, build snd reut houses, and generally to do s real estste snd losu business. Acting on these representations, he gold the above-described 1andg, 100k the 865 shares of stock, and immadi- ately pledged it back to secure a loan of 80 ver cont of the amount of stock, or $23,000, giving in addition thrae notes for the same. It was agreed that the stock shonld be soid without notice if the notes were not paid at maturity. Since the execution of tuis deed and couvey- ance of the land, Hough Les discovered, and is advised by counsol, that the Land Com- pany bad, snd Bad, no authority to take the land or iseue the tock, but that its authority, 28 expreased by itschar- ter, s Lunited, being only **to examine, survey, and purchese lands, or interesis in lands, water: courses, or interee:s therein, which are as near a8 may be adapted by nature'to the use of water to irrigate the sre, to faciiitate ths growth of cTops in dry geasons, and to improve and culti- vate the same for such crops as require irriga- tion to produce the largest 1eturns,” and thst it has no fariber aathority. It is also alleged thet the Company las not purchased sny landa for the ~ pur- Ppose of imigation. or for =any of its logitimate objects, but has bought Iarge quantities by the issue of stock, for the urpose of renting it, or building houses thoreon lar rent or gale, These acts are, as Hough claims, in open vio- lation of the Comoavy's charter. [t wax incor- porated under the name of tho ** Land Improve- ment and Irrigation Company, ” which neme wos clanged in 1672 to its present cogunomen. The motes were due 10-day, aud complam- snt fears that the = Companv will eell his stock and land if they are not paid, but, owing to the facts above et forth, the stock deported is worthless, and he cannot raiss money thereon tomcet the notes, Hough therefore asks an injunction agains: the compus to prevent it from gelling his stock or land, and also thot the sale made by him to it may be declared void and the land reconveyod to biw: free of allincumbrance. —_— 4 FRIEND OF TEMPERANCE. Tho sunals of temperance huve beeu enriched at various times, snd in various ways. Much amusenent was afforded a few months ago by o Baloon-keeper in Clyde, 0., who turned loose his pet bears npon & party of erusading ladies who invaded hie saloon. This follower of the prophet Elisha deserved more credit thav he got, He distinctly stated that he was a temperauce man, After selliug Lis castomers about thres drinks of whisky—it was terribly bad whisky—he would dispense rsun-water to them. Thres drinks of Ohio whisky are equivalent to s moderate fit ©of tremens, and his. patrons were seldom in s condition to detect the pious fraud he prac- ti0ed on them. Mr. Morris Joseph, of this city, Was suddenly scized with the manis for reform- ing society. Rain-water, though sbundant in this city, never occurred to him as a substitute for fire-water. But 2 “happy thought” sug- gested diluted beer instosd. Smitien with a conscientions refloction, be determined 1o sell ont his stock, Nomagnavimous crusaders were present to offer him 300 per cent upon his invest- ment. Necessity, thevefore, begot invention. Mr. Joseph's ' exchequer was low. 8o was Mr. Joeeph's stock of whisky. JMr. Joseph conceived & brilliant idea, 2pd a lawsait was the consequence. Mr.Joseph filled about fifty bot:les with a compound lignid. Oneinch ;was stale beer, and the other inches wetez The liquid result was of a generous smber color, four zallone of which would have made s decent toper inquisitive, and an habitual bummer impatient. * Fortified however, with true temperance prin- ciples, Ar. Jossph advertissd his saloon for sala. In Chicsgo_sn sdvertisement to this eifect i3 tempting. Mr. Isass Samuels purchesed the gatisfied with this disposition of the land, Dar- bey & Porter file their bill, asking thzt it may Le eot aside as fraudulent, and 1s manifesting & very seltish disposition on the part of Mrs. Me- Mabion, and that they may be pennitted to have = small slice, at least sutiicient topuy their judg- ment. —_— THE NEW TURNER PARXK.

ST. JOSEPH'S HOSPITAL. This evoning, at 7:30 p. m., & Jecturs will ba delivored in St. Patnck’s Church, by the Rov. I. W. Riordsn, whose subjeot_will be **Tho Church and Modern Progress.” The koown sbillty of the lecturer, and tha object to which the pro- ceeds will be snplied, that of diminishing ~the dabl on St. Joseph's Hospital, will not, we aro sure, fail to draw a large audience. 1t may not be out of place hers to ssy a ferw words with roferonce_ to the desorving, but ratker unknown, institution. Situsted in 3 very healthy part of the North Side, corner Sophia and Burling stroets, where it has the inestimable advantages. t0 the sick, of - fresh, pure air and quiet, it is eaxily accessible by any of tho North Sida cars. The Lincoln avenue and Lar- rabee street-cars sud omnibuses come within a few blocks of it. The hospital is now commenc- ing the third year of its eatablishment, and the nuwmber of snccessfully-treated cases, in propor~ tion to its admieeions, amply prove its useful- ness and benefit to the community st large. The Sisters earnestly wish to be of greater service to the poor sick than, with their heavy present debt, they possibly can. That debt re- moved, the amount of good which tuey could accomplish would be very great indeed. Tho stafl of the hospital, composed of tho first talent of the city, is s suflicient evidence of tho modical and surgicsl treatment. The accommo- dations consist of first sud second-class private rooms and wards, the first for those who desire superior apartments the latter cheerful ard 2iry, sud commanding, on tke sccond and third foors, & wide view of the city, for thoso whose means are more limited. No distinction will be mzde in receiving pa- tiouts of any creed. color, or nationality. A free clinic is hold every day in the weck, except Sun- days, from 10 to 11 a. m., whero free medical and surgical advice and prescriptions may be ob- taed. German and English are spoken by the doctors. We feel sure thst very fow were awara that the institutior had such good and sufliciont reasons to be considered as dewerving the patron. 8go and support of the public.

All tho besi photograpiers throughout the United States aud Cauade, and many of the best artists in Europs, are to gend samplos of their work. Judging by tho spirit munifested at the meet- ing, tuero wis no donut this will be one of the fincst diapleys of pictures ever scen at any one exhibition. The object of these conventions is two-fold : First, to cdueato photographers, aud improve their art; to intercnange ideas, practical exper- iences and discovenes during tho past year, and to examine and comparo each othor's pictures. Sacond, to edueate the public in what photog- raphy is doing, and show them what good pho-~ tographs are, and what phm.ogr:Fby cun do when combmed with art. and manipulated by men of science and ert-culture. For this purpose sre displuged not only photography in all their varied branches, but all kiuds of materials need in theart. Persona who have not had practical expericnce can haze no idea of the amouut of capital and varied industrics employed in the production of & photograph. This exLibition wiil give our eitizens an oppor- tunity to ses what they are tll interested in—the workings of this most wonderful and besatiful of all arts and sciences combined.

Whittaker, not suspecting anything wrong, returned to his room. In the morning the darkey had gone, and taken Whit- taker's watch and chain with him.

Mr. Hornsby, however, siys he made mistake when he employed Joseph H. Barring- ton. Yesterday he complained before Justice Haines that Barrington had collected money be- longing to the Felt fim, and had fradulently converied the amount. collected to his own pri- vate use, with intent to defraud. The Justice issued a worrant for the arrest of Barrington, and, at a late hour last night. the minions of the Iaw were looking out for him, but had not suc- ceeded in maling the arrest.

THE NEW COURT-HOTSE. B The controversy ou the Court-House question is abscrbing universal interest, There are several moves pending ou the board. Alr. ‘Tilley is forcing his clams on the ground that his plan has beon adopted, but Mr. Tilley seems to bein s hoploss minority. )ir. Hesing has a candidate. Itistrue that this candidate, Mr. Karls, was never within the pale of the fortu- nate_twelve, and was never thought of as s posgible compatitor. ft ia equally true that pied Karls’ plen possessos many demerits, but it has been determined to forcs him through. The latest and most important gossip, how- ever, points to & compromise. The superin- tendence of the plan ia to be given to a man on whom all parties unite,—Mr. W. W. Boyington. He ia to be asaociated with the German who ob- taived the first premium, Mr. Otto Matz, and the coutract is to be awarded to sn Irishmaa. This programme, it is_expected, will pacify all con- tendiug elemonts by giviug 'a share in the work to each nationality.

The Northwestern Railroad has refused to es- tabiish & depot at the crossing of Park aveaue, abont midwsy between Oak Park and Ridgeland. There is much disappointment on_account of this action of the Compuny, as it wis very de- sireble that such a depot should be established, since 1t would have acoommodated a large nom- bor of persons living at oonsiderable distances from tho Osk Park and Ridgeland depots. A larger number of persons duily get off and on the traing at Onk Park than st any other snburb f; the Galena Division of the Northwestern nd. The marriage of the Rev.

Bruxswick, Me., May 28.—The students of Bowdoin College have for some time past mani- tested opposition to tho military drill required of them, and yesterday thesophomore and frash- men classes agreed not to arill again. All the members of the two olasses, excepting two soph- omores, sigoed a paper to that edect. The two sophomores who refused to sign tae paper wers the only students on the parsde ground this morning. The juniors took similar action, and then followed a joint ‘meeting of the three classes, When an ayreement was signed that the suspension or expulsion of one would be con- sidered $he Buspensiou or expulsion of gll. The Facultyhave the matter under eonsideration. and, it is understood, will insist upon ths stu- dents retreating from thelr position, or expalsion will follow. A Central Location Needed. When the drv-goods merchants, the hatters, -2nd clothiers, have been forced to retarn to the centres of bustness, it seems strango that promi- nont grocers remain in their scattered locations. The business man is forced to leave the pur- chaso of family suppliés to his wife and children, aud misees the opportunity to buy at a lower ratein l&rge quantity. He has not been able to find a grocer near tho banks and important marts of trade, though he would gladly patronize a cash store, provided with first-class supplies of everything except fresh meats, that is consumed st the tavlo. For such a store, located at the very centre, a larzo capital is neoded to purchsse from bands, and to provide a fine stock for delivary, not ouly 4o all parts of the city, but to be eent to subur- bao towpe. Dy saving the largo margin of in- torest on money expendsd in carrrrmg the acounts of peoplo who aro dilatory in prymaent, and insinting on strictly cash transsorions, such & etoro may well be made a success. The business mon will greet heartily the n;)ren- ing of astore to-morrow nearly opposite Tue TrrsuNe Building, at No. 109 Madison stroct, where C. H.
