THE CHICAGO & ALTON SUIT. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, TAE BILL OF EXCEPTIONS. SrorxerrEry, 1., June 6.—The following is the text of Jnc'ge Zane's opinion, upon tho bill of exceptions submitted to him for signature by the atiorneys for theroad, in the caso of the People v. tho Chicago & Alion Railroad Com- pany: The Iople of fhe Stale of Minois . The Chicago & Alton Tauitrowd Company © vendant, iy dts attorness, presents to_the o whnsure and seal tliTeof, what pur- Forts fo be a bill of excoptions, which Is, i substance, Tiat on May 10, 1874, o vit of certioruri was issuc from the Vnited States Court for the Sonthern District of Tilinois directed to this Court, and delivered to the Cierk theveof, commanding it Lo certify and seal to that Court the -eccrd and proceedings in this suit 3 that Thin Cotire refused to obey such writ, and, on motion of T&o+ the cauze down for trial : thiat on May 23, 1575, a Jury was impaneled to iry the cause, where- upon i Fondant. by its. ablorneys, pressnted tho following protest : Sate o7 HHtinois, 5 Jue Gircuit. Court, May term, A. D, 1874, The People of the State of Liinois 7. The Chicago & Alton Railroad Company, the defendant in the above-entitled cause, for the purposo of objecting to further pro- cecdihgs in this cause, and for no other purpoe, and Leing, 25 the defendant claims, in this Court for eaid purpose and none otler, the defendant objects to further proceedings in the cause, and also to the ad- mission of ibe schedules prepared by the Railroad Commiesioners of suid_State, in evidence; and also objects 10 all other evidenco offered as testimony, and said defendant excepts 1o the 2dmission of all ‘ssid evidence, and'to the several instructions of the Court, ot waiving thereby any right to claim that said cause Liusbeen removed from said Court. STUAET, EDWARDS, AXD BIOWX, T4, GREENE, AND LITTLER, for defendant, That the Court ordered the protest filed. Tho nanes of witnesses, the questions propounded to {bem, the answers given, ad the echedules of maxi- 1uum rates of charges for the transportation of pas- sengers and freights on the railroad of the defendant in evidence are alio stated. The defendaut then states iu this bill that the forezoing was all the evidence in ihe case, nd that fo ull which it then and there by fin protest objected, 'and Wt (he Court overruled the objection; that the jury returned a verdict for the pluinti for the sum of 33,000, and that the Court entered judgment for plaintiff on the verdict for the amount so found. Since the servics of the writ of certiorari, the do- fendant’s counsel bave refused to_appear in ihis cause except as friends of the Court, and to file its protest, and st such times they have always insisted that the cause was no longer pending heres that the writ of ccrtioreri had removed it to the United States Court. The plaintiffs insist upon their legal rights and refuso to consent fo anything by which they miy losa any ndvantage gained. Tho office of a blll of exceptions is 10 prezerve tne rulings of the Court, the objection and exceptions thereto, the motions and evidenco with reference to which the rulings of the Court are made, and make them a part of the record in order that the appellate Court mey seo whether the rulings were correct or erroneous, according to the well-settled rules of practice, What is the duty of tho Court 3s to the signing and sealingithe bill tendered ? Sec. 369 of the practico sct provides: * If during the progress of sny 1rialin e vil cause,eitber perty shall allego an exception 10 the opfauion Jof the Court, and reduce the samo to ~writing, it shall be the duty of the Judge to allow such excoptions, and Kign and seal the same, and the said ingamen County = axceptions skall thereupon become a part of the ro- cord of such couse. The converse of the Droposition Etuted in this section 1a that if a party does not sllege an exception to the opinion of the Court, and reduco the same to writing during the progress of tho trial, it is not the duty of the Judge to llow such exception and sign and seal the eame. The Su- rreme Court of ihis State has repeatodiy held that a party wishing 10 avail himeelf of an exception to a de- cisian of the Court must except at thie timo the declsion i¢ made, and tho bill mwust afirmatively show that the excoption was taken =t tho zime. In practice, how- ever, tho exception s merely noted, snd the bill is af- tervards settled. The defendant ingists, however, that 4 id object in this case to tno introduction of all the evidence, and that the Court overruled such objec- tions, and that it excepted, by the same protest, to such rulings, If the filing of the protest bad the effect which the defendant insists upon, the defend=nt may ineist that the caze is not in court,and at the ssmo time recognize it s being there. The defendant may get the benefit of tho appearicg ina csuse, and the Benefit of not appearing at the same time. ~The pro- test would enable the defendant fo put in objections beforo the camse {8 eviderco s offered to the Jjury, retiro from the court-room, which shall apply fo the introduction of all the evidence as it is afterwards of- fered, and requiro the rulings of the Court thereon, and except to such rulings as there may be made with- out nssigning any resson therefor. No rule of law can be found which snthorizes such s practice. I therefore decline to eign and seal the bill of excep~ tions tendered in this caus THE DEFESDANTS' ATTORNEYE now presont a rocord of the facts in the case, whicf‘: they ask the Judge to certify. This he Dias not vet done, but is consideriog how, under the circumstances, ho may properly do i, if, in- deed, he may do it 8t all. o : GILIMAN, CLINTON & SPRINGFIELD. A voluminous bill was fled in the Circuit Court yesterdoy by Samuel . Molvin against the Morgan Improvemont Company of Pennsyl- ~ania, Robert D. Barclay, John P. Green, W. H. Ostorn, Andrew Carnagio, Morton, Bliss & Co, and Morton, Rose & Co., of London. The complainant states tiat in 1869 the Gilman, Clinton & Bpringfield Railway Compenyhvas & corporation duly autho- rized to locate, construct, and operate a railway line from Gilman southwesterly to Springfield, in this State, the ine being about 110 miles in length. In 1870 the MORGAN IMPROVEMENT COMPANY made an agreement with the above-named Rail- way Company to furnish all tho labor and ma- terials necessary to construct the entirs line of {horond. In payment of this the Railway Com- pany agreed to executo tothe Improvement Com- pany thio sum of 82,060,000 of its bonds, bearing % per cent interest, and secured by & mortgege to Thomas A. Scott and H. J. Jewett, on the eatire Mne of the railroad, its appurtenances and frau- chises, Tho railroad accordingly esccated the 000 bonds and the mortgage, which was st lion on the road. Some timo thereafter in 1871 AN ARRANGEMENT WAS 3ADE by which the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati & St. Louis Tiailrord Company and the Tilinois Central Rail- Toad Company agreed with the Gilman, Clinton & Springtield Railrosd Company that the former two Companies ware to set apart certain amount of theur earnings over their respective lines go- ing to or coming from the Gilman, Clinton & Springfield Ruilroad Company for the purpose of making purchazes st not less than par of the bonds of tho last-named ralroad a0d nlso to excento on the back of raid bonds o certain obligation Imown as & ‘ trafic guarantee ” or indorsement, inteuded o pive additional security to all sub. eequent bondl:olders, aud to enable the bonda to havea rezdier disposition inthe market, This agrecment was carried out, and the whole of the bonds indoreed, while they were vot the exclusive property of the Morgan Improvement Company. IN OCTOBER. 1871, Andrew Carnagie having & onc-tenth interest in the Morgan Improvement Company, and rcpre- genting fhat he hsd great infinence and expori- ence in negotiating railroad bonds, mndertook to megotiate s salo of the whole 'issue of the “bouds at satisfactory rates. In pursuance of this arrangement for the Company, they agreed to let him claim tho management of the busi- pess. Cernagie made an_agreement with Mor- top, Bliss & Co., of New York, to sell tho bonde. The latter firm sent the bonds to thewr corres- poudiug firm of Morton, Rose & Co., of London, and THEY WERE ULTIMATELY SOLD {hero, after large advertising, for 92 ceuts in gold cn tte dollar. The prococds wereremitted to the San Fork house, whero & large profit was also made on exchange. 3letvin claims that Camnagie nzde n secret and fraudulent agreement with Morton, Dliss & Co., -and Morton, Roso & Co., whereby the prico for which the bonds ' wero sold was to be kopt secrer, and a settlement mado at a less figure than the actusl price, the difference being divided AMONG THE PARTIES. To this alleged fraudulent traneaction George Dlies, & member both of the New York and Lon- don ' house, Willinm H. Osborne, member of the Board of Directors of the Illi- nois Central Railrosd sud omo of its chief managers, asod A Carnagie, were the chief parties. Morton, Rose & Co.. in pursuance of their business of selling tbo bouds above mentioned, jsued proposals, advertise- ments, and prospectuses, describing themselves as agents, and inserted notice in the London Tfmes. In consequence of all this, proposals wero received for the purchase of 86,000,000 of bonds, and out of the whole numberof proposals the most advantageous were selected. IT 13 CHARGED NEXT by Melvin that Morton, Blisa & Co., and Carna- gio accounted with tho Morgan Improvement Company on the basis of 80 cents on ihe dol- lar in currency, and that the difference berween that sum and 92 cents gold, smounting to £430,000, was divided between the two firms and Carnagio and Osborn. Melvin ,who owns one- tenth the stock of the Morgan Improvement Company, states that he only learned of this transaction lately, and immediately gave motice to the Improvement Company, aud asked #its oflicers at, their own expense to prose- cute the suit. They, however, rofused to recognizo ap; such ~_ gigantic frand, and informed !u'my if_he wished a suit he muet institute it himself. This he has done, making it for the benefit of himself and all the other members of the Improvement Company, except Carnagte. Mr. Rose, one of tho mombers of tho London firm, was_tervea with notice of this snit nhilo passing through this city on his way to Europe. stk THE WISCONSIN LAW. THE SUIT AGAINST THE NORTUWESTERN. Tho dispatches from Madison regarding the application of the bondholders of the Chicago & Northwestern Railway for an injunction to enjoin the Wisconsin Railroad Commissioners and the Attorney General from enforcing the new Railway law, and the Company from accepting it, stated that tho caso was postponed unlil & day not fixed. Of course, tho fact that the Court” entertained the motion and declined to dismiss it is, according to the rules, equivalent to a formal order, and as bind- ing upou the defendunts as a temporary injuuc- tion. It is thereforo morally certain no further proceedings will be instituted by thoso ofticers until the decision is given on the hearing of the arguments. The time for thiy is not vet fixed, nor will it be until Judge Drummond's return from Bpringfield, 11l., where he holds Court noxt week. Noither is the placo agreed upon,— whether in Chicago or Madison. This depends maiuly upon Judge Davis, of the United States Supremo Court, -who is expected to sit with Judge Drummond snd Judge Hopkins. It is most likely the case will bo heard i Madison the early part of the third week of this nonth. PREPATMENT INSISTED ON. . A general order has boen issued by tho Mil- waukeo & St. Paul and Chicago & Northwestern Tailway Companies which relates especially to their lines in Wisconsin. The public are noti- fied that they will not be allowed to enter the trains of these Companies in that State without they have first procured tickets, and they are furtbér informed that the several ticket offices of the Companies will be open for half an hour prior to the time for the departure of trains, and agents on hand to supply the demand. In the same contection tho condactors and train men are instructed net to allow any ono to enter the cars unless they can show o regular ticket. This order is to be rigidly en- forced. It was adopted as & preventive of 3 cents per mile rides. These were fast be- coming too popular to suit the ofticers. The in- crease dated from the publication of the Gov- ernor's last manifesto. Up to that time com- paratively few travolers tendered tho 3 conts rate. Had the proportion continued small, it is quite probable resort would not have been had to the oxpedient mentioned. It may necessitato an increased train force, and may provoke scme complaint, yet it is a courso not withont prece- dent. This is furnisbed by New England rail- ronds, and was sustained by thio courts, 1In this matter, as in every step taken, tho Companies are acting upon the advice of eminent counsel. i g MISCELLANEOUS. ‘ToroxTo, June 6.—A cable diepatch from Lon- don, says Mr. Bergeant, Manager of the South Devon Railway, has been appointed successor to Mr. Brydgee in the management of the Grand Trunk Railway, of Canada.

When he is & years old the Japanesp youth is invested with a'sword-belt, and four years later with two diminutive swords, if he belongs to the privileged class. The child's head is comsletnly shaved until he is close upon 4 years old, and then three patches are grown, one at the back and ono at each side. On this occasion the record of ceremonies ordains that “a large tray, ou which are & comb, ecissors, paper-string, & piece of string for tying the hair in & knot, cotton wool, and the bit of dried fish or senweed which accompanies presents, one of each, and seven rice straws—these seven articles must be prepared.” In another year's time tho child is put into the loose trousers peculiar to the privileged class, and he is then preseated with {5 dress of ceremony, on which are embroidered storks and tortoise (emblems of longavity; the stork is said to live 1,000 years, the tortoise 10,000), fir-trees (which being evergreen, and not changing their color, are emblematic of an unchangingly virtuous heart), and bamboos ‘emblematic of an upright and straight mind.)" Soon after tho child has reached his 15th year, & fortunate day is chosen on which the forelock is cut off, and at this period, being considered man, ho is entrusted with swords of ordinary size; and on this occasion, in particular, great family festivities and rejoicings take place in honor of the auspicious cvent. The lad then comes of age, and, castiag away childieh things, adopts the dress of & grown-up man in every particular. Japanese youths are said to be quite equal to the oceasion, snd, even at_this early age, to adapt themselves most readily to tho habits of manhood. At the stages in his life which we have alluded to, the child has & sponeor, end certain wine- drinking customs and prescribed festivitics havo to be carefully attended to. Some Japonese must have a string of names, awful to contemplate, if strict custom be always adhered to; for, besides the name which he re- ceives shortly after bis birth, Humbert tells ns that ‘‘he will take a second on attaining his majority, s third at his marriage, o fourth when he shall be appointed to any public function, & fifth when be sball ascend in rank or in dignity, and 0 on until the last, the name which shall be given him after his deatu, and inscribed upon his tomb—that by which his memory shall be held sacred from generation o geaeration,"— Al the Year Round. —_— A Woman Instanuy Struck Dumb, The Leavensworth (Kan.) Times of the 23d inst., relates the following: ‘A remarkablo oc- currence took place in Salt Creck Valley day be- fore yesterday. Mrs. Chapman, wife of Samuel Chiapman, of Pleasant Ridge, went into tho pas- ture adjoining the houmse for the purpose of catching a horee which she desired to drive to town with. In less than half an hour sho was reen making her way back to the house waving her arms above her head, and making all gorts of ludicrous gestures. FHer busband, who was standing on the porch, thought it was romark- ably strange that his wife, ordiarily eo etaid and dignificd, should be acting so strangely, Lut took no farthier notice of her, supposing sho wns making fun of him. But when she finally reached the honse, a vory serious matter was do- veloped, and all the sirange actions fully ex- plained. The woman had by symo unaccount- able meana been struck epecchless, and has not, up to last accounts, been uble to speak & word or make known the cause of her misfortune.

How the People of Suwanee Fiil Their Graveyards. Desperate Fight with a Burglar. Horrible Case of Murder and Suicide. JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind., June G.—Johm McDer- mott, a saloon-kesper of -this city, said to be under the influence of liquor most of the time, committed a horrible murder at 6 o'clock this evening. He has been in tho babit of abusing his wife, who, it is said, was equally sbusive to him. She left him and had applied for a divorce. The trial was set for Wednesday next. McDermott called at his mother-in-law's residence, whero his wife was, asking her to como back and live with him, whick she agreed to do on Monday, Ho then loft tho house and roturned .in ten minutes with a large navy revolver, and found MMrs. McDormott nursing Ler baby. He raised the weapon, and deliber- ately fired at hor. The ball struck the baby in the forchead, passing clear through the head, and lodging in the right breast of its mother, producing probably 2 fatal wound. He then laced a revolver to his head and blew his own rains out. The baby died instantly, and thers is bat little hope of the recovery of its mother. Aiow the Pcople on the Suwanee Fill their Graveyards. New Smyrna (Fia,) Correspondence of the New York Sun, AsTIcame down-stairs the other morning I saw Capt. Frank Sams, a noted bunter, sested on the edgo of the atoop, swinging his feet into a rosebush. ** Look here."” said he, ** you think you know something abont Florida murders. But what you've Leard ain't & patch to the beautics of the Suwanee country. Out there thoy make a wholesale business™ of it. Some time ago two men named Locklier and Mundy lived near the mouth of the Suwanee River. They rained cattle for a living, Locklier bad an average-looking woman for a wife, whilo Muudy was a widowey witha mighty fine daughter. The two men got quito thick, and used to cow-drive together and eat in each other's houses. Aftora time Mundy took a fancy to Locklier's wife, and Locklier took & fancy to Mundy’s daughter. So they struck up a trade. After palavering arotnd, Mundy offered to give his daughter for Locklier’s wife and twenty head of cattle. Tocklier took him up straight, and the bargamn was made.” Iasked the Captain what kind of girl the daughter was. *“Well,” he replied, ** I've heard that she was a plump little filiy, about 18 years old. Lock- Lier's wife was a little skinuy, but sho was & ood driver, and worked well in harness with Bok lisband. "Elie’ Aanehtar -hevar mads aiy objection to the bargmmn, and the wifo, Iiko most of the women, was glad of any- thing for a change. So Muody drove off tho twenty head of cattte and the oid woman, and Locklier shook bimsclf down in the cabin with the daughter. Thiogs were all soug. Well, in about two wooks Lock- lier's'wifo got sick of it, She declared that her husband was bad enongh, but Le was an augel alongsido of Mundy. She went back home, and sworo that she wouldn't livo with Mundy any longer under any circumstances, Then Mundy camo up to Locklier's house, and wantod bhis danghter back. The danghter by thia time had fallen in love with Locklier, and you counldn’t have dniven her out of his cabin with a pack of doga. Locklier eaid she shouldn’t go unless the old man drove back the twenty head of cattle. Mundy said he’d seo,Locklier in hell before he bronght back the cattle, and threatoned to shoot him if he didn’t turn over his daughter. Lock- lier told him to shoot and be dodrotted. So they paried bad friends.” T interrupted the Captain by asking what the neighbors thought of such proceedings. “'Well," ho replied, * they didu't have many neighbors. What they did bave wero like them- selves. They looked upon the whole thing 28 a bona fido bargain, snd if one or the other got cheated it ¥as no outsider's businees. As I was a gaying, Mundy declared war. He threw a sort of paratlel around Locklier'a houss an bombarded 1t with a double-barreled shot-gun. All day long ho Iaid around the house waiting for a shot. Locklier was afraid to go out or to even show his face at z window. TFor hours he would sit on a chair with his old rifle across his knee and watch the door. Whenever the latch moved he would blaze away withont wait- ing to find out who was comingin. Twoor three times he came mDear shooting his wife when she was out after a pail of water. You ses ho knew Mondy meant business, and he wasn't going to lat him got & twist on him. Mundy skirmished around the house till dark. Then he travoied home and got & good night's sleep ; but by daylight Locldier again found him intronched outside the door. ‘ +Thie arrangement lasted sevoral days, and Locklier began to get tired of bis imprisonment. Ono night Le took a couple of stout cart wheels standing near his cabin, boarded them in on threo sides with two-inch plank, and when Mundy put in an appearance the next morning confronted him with this movable battery. The tables were turued. The old man bad to fall back. Locklier followed him up the road with his battery, shelling him at overy jamp. Mundy was driven into his headquarters, and his an- tagonist took the part of besiegor. A dozen shots wero_exchanged before sundown, and at dark Locklior drew bacle to his hounse under cover of the battery. Before the roosters stopped crow- ing he was again moving up the road toward Mundy's house, shelling his way every few rods, and driving the old man with his shot-gan to cover. “Well, the war was kept up this way sbouts week, but at last it had to como to an end. One bright moonlight night, Locklier thought he would qnietl{ wheel his battery up the road and see if he couldn't catch Mundy outside of his fortifications. So he laid his rifle before him and set the whecls agoing. Ho had shovec( them about a quarter of s mile, and was jurt; turning a curve in the road when be heard. s scraping moiss on his left. Mundy hed flanked him. By the light of moon he could see the old man on his kpees behind o fence, shoving ‘the barrels of his_ shot-gun between the railr, and getting his head down to taks aim. Locklior had no time to lose, Ho snatched his rifls and sighted it. They both fired together. Td.undy fell dead behind tho fence with a rifle by (let in hin head, and Locklier tumbled into his 1iattery with eleven buckshof in his breast. *2.e lived about four hours, and declared if ho hac:y't been lstening to the crickets he wou!d hsve seen Mundy befors the battery passed bim. The wife and danghter burried the two me.ry, divided the twenty head of catile and gy all the pronerty.” Sams’ story is literally true. 'Thirs Sawance country has always borne a Lard 'yume.

Milton (June 3) Dispati:ly to the New York Sun. Farmer Samuel Doncl lives with his family eight miles from here. On Saturdsy night last, he awoke in the midd)2 of the night and sawa burgler in hisroom. o jumped from bed and grasped him by the tdoroat and whiskers. The whiskers, 3 long pair, were false, and came off in the farmer's hand. The _burglar struck Mr. Boncl in the face, but he did not releaso his hold. His wife ro- aBm:dcd to his cayl for help. The burglar, un- ableto releass F.imself, started for the head of tho etairs, dr agging’ the farmer twith him. e, Bond eeize d 'tho burglar by one leg. Hi him again, while her husband showered blows on his face. Reaching the head of the stairs, both the farmer and the burglar rolled to the bottom. The noise made by the struggling men aroused a eon of Mr. Bond's, who joined his father and mother in their atteck on the burglar. At this 3uncm.re the burglar drew & & pistol and would have shot the farmer dead. had not Mrs. Bond, seeing the movement, pushed the pistol to one side. The ball took effect in the groin of her son. The burglar fired again, hbitting Mr. Bond in the right arm, near the elbow. The farmer's wife seized hold of the pisto), while her son ran out and got a club. The weapon was discharged twico while Mra. Bond held the barrel, but doing no damage. Young Bond returned with a club, and broke the burglar's right arm with one blow. The pistol dropped to the floor. Mrs. Bond picked it up with the intention of shaoting the burglar, but befora she conld use it her son had knocked him sonseless to the floor with two heavy blows on the head. Allof the Bonds were badlyinjured. The farmer waa terribly boaten about the head and face. The pistol ball had mado an ugly flesh wound in hin arm, and_Lis body was bruised by tho fall down-stairs. Mrs. Bond had & long, deep cut over her left eye, where the burglar had struck her. Her son’s wounds were confined to the pistol-shot in the groin. Tho ball entered near the hip joint, aud was imbedded in the flesh. They were all covered with blood, as were the walls and floor in tho hall. Ars. Bond attended tomporarily to the waois of her husband and son. She then bound the Benseless burglar o Le conld not escape if he came to. Mounting s horse, ehe started as fast a8 it could carry her for this place. Arriving here she aroused Dr. DBillings and Constablo Watts, and started them both for her house. In an hour and a quarter after loaving home she ar- rivod back there, and was soon followed by the Doctor and the Constable. Mr. Bond and his &on were found to bo suffering severely from their wounds, but their injuries were pro- nounced nov dangerona. Tho ball was extractod from young Bond's wound with lirtle difficulty. The burglar was found dangerously mjured. The fall down the stairs had broken tbree of bis ribs. The blows from the club, besides breaking his right arm, had fractured his skull in two places. He was also badly cut and bruised. Tho ropes with which Mra. Bond had tied him were removed, and he was placed on s bed. He suf- fored intensely. Dr. Billings gavo him every care, and in an_hour or two he felt easier, and gave an accouat of Limself. Ho was one of a gang of throo profersional burglars from Philadelphia. His name is George Myers. His comrades were Jake Schell and Wil- son Fry. They traveled through the country disgnised as umbrella-mendera and peddlers. Their plan of operation was to enter a town and “work' it thoroughly. They always got in- formation of placos where good hauls could be made. In Milton they learned that farmer Bond had received a aay or two befors the attempted burglary a large sum of money, the proceeds of 2 saie of cattle, They determined to mako an effort to obtain it. From various parties they bLad received a good idea of the interior of ths houee, the habits of the inmates, etc. Fry un- locked tho front door with a false key. Mrvers was to search the upper part of the house, while his companions were totake the lower part. Whon the noixo up-stairs warned the latter that Myers was discovered they fled, loaving bim in the lurch. Myers said it was his intention to kill all three of the Bondsat the footof the atairs, and ho would have dono so but for the voung man knocking him down with the ofub. On Myor's person was found a pockotbook be- longing to Mr. Bond, containing £500. This had boen taken from his pantaloons before the bur- glar was discovered. Dr. Billings deciding that it would bo fatal to Myers to take him to jail, the Constablo con .. cluded to leave & man to guard and attend te, him until he could be removed. A man nam-s i Fitel was given charge of the wounded burgla r, On onday night he was aroused from & nat, by a koock at the door.

A Talk with the Sanitary Sra- perintendent. He Thinks the Present Systrym of Inspection Inadequnate. A Dissertation on Calves and Bruised and Cripplesl Cattle. Ifistanees of Diseassed Meat ® Seized. What the Meat Inspector Has to Say on the Subject. Ignorance of Consignors. 1If there is one place iv. tho world where food of all kinds should combis e the qualities of purity and cheapness, it i8 Chicago. Lying as she doos in the mudst c,f the greatest and most fertale tract of fre ming country in the world, both cercals and meats of the best quality should bo availab¥o at all times in ber markets. As far as tho forry er are concerned, no one has ever been heard /.0 complain ; but, with regard to tho latter, eor nplnints have lately arisen espe- cially with regad to the quality of some of the veal which is offered for eale at some of tho butcher-shope.. In view of the importance of the subject, 1. TrsuNE reporter was sent Friday to investigz.te the means taken by the city to insure & proper inspection of the animal-food which is broursht into this city for the nourish- ment of its half-million inhabitants, The firat person called vpon by the reporter was DR. BEN C. MILLER, Sanitary Biuerintendent. This gentloman at once statec, it as his belief that the average quality of animal-food which was consumed in Clicag o was not nearly as good a8 it ought to be, and 1o thought that sufficient men were not placed £t the disposal of the Board of Hesltn to insure the thorough inepection which was re- quired. The reporter opened upon THE VEAL QUESTION, 88 tre most appropriate to this season of the year, with: * What do yvou think of vealasa 1tious and healthy food 2" Miller—Veal ranks high as a food, and is Iy digested, but it should be fat, and the calf © 11 enough for the tissues to attain solidity. Reporier—At what ago will tho flesh of a calf #.ttain this soldity ? Dr. Miller—As a rule a calf should be about | three weeks old before it is killed. At from nine- teen to twenty-one days old the calf cnts its in- cisor teeth ; their prescace, rattier than the size of the animal, should be the test of age, as I have seen calves of two weeks which were bet- ter developed than others of three. Reporter—What rhonld a calf ready for market weigh at threo weeksold ? Dr. Miller—Not less than from 55 to 75 pounds. CONDEMNING VEAL. Teporter—In condemning voal what is the principai roason of the inspestor 2 Dr. Miller—Qur inspector 18 a practical butcher, and almost all of tho veal coudemnod by him is on account of early ago and lack of the proper elements of nutrition rather than on accouns of being diseased. Reporter—\Where do these calves coms from ? Dr. Miller—The majority como from the largs dairy farms west and northwest of the city— from Barrington, Elgin, Elk Grove, Aurora, Na~ perville, Hinsdale, etc. Reporter—What 1s the object of these dairy- menin killing calves at 6o early an age that many of them are obliged to be condemned as unfit food ? Dr. Miller—Tho milk of the cow is more valu- able to the dairyman than the calf. The great object of deirymen, when the calf armives, is to et 1t out of the way as soon as possible; and ence, when it seema big enongh to pass muster at the butcher's shop, its throat is cut and the carcass sent 1ato town for sale. Reporter—\Well, yon have shown plainly that tho temptations to filt our markets with over- young veal are pretty strong, but how about THE LARGER CATTLE? First of all, bow are thecattle killed that supply the Chicago market? Dr. Miller—Firat thev are brought to the Stock-Yards, and aro there sold to butchers, who drive them to tho different slanghter-houses in Bridgeport and the Town of Lake to be killed. Reporter—Who does the killing, the butcher or the owner of the slanghter-houso ? Dr. Miller—They aro killed, as a rule, by the butcher, the owner of the slaughter-lousa re- ceiving as recompense the offal—everything, in fact, but the carcass proper, Which is sold by the butcher. Reporter—Ia this all the owner of the slaugh- ter-houso gota for the use of his place ? Dr. Miller—I think not. Of lator years the calves that are cut from cows belong to the house. Reporter—What are done with such miniature carcasses ? Dr. Millor—They are sapposed to be rendered n tho tanks. HOERORS OF THE PAST. Reporter—You say of later years, what was done in former yesrs with such calves as were h_rou;;ht mto the world by the Cmsarean opera- tiou Dr. Miller—I have beon credibly informed tha: they have, where a calf was well matared, washed it off, faken it to the butchers’ shops; skinnod and 8old it for veal. Reporter—Haa that been the practice of Iate year#? Dr. Millor—No. Ithasnot. Icaunot tell the exact time that the slaughter-houses added such calves to their perquisito for use of tho houss. 1 do not know the name of anybody who has sold such vesl, but my information in the m: tor came from a party engaged in the business whom I consider reliable. COWS WITH CALY. Roporter—Would you considor the meat of a cow with calf good food ? Dr. Miller—If the cow was at all foverish, I would not, neither should I like to eat 1t mysolf, whether the cow were feverish or not. {;&;porter—Am many cows killed that are with cal Dr. Miller—A certain number. Just howmany I do not know. Reporter—Has the meat-inspector ordoers from the Board to condsemn the mestof cows which are slaughtered while with calf ? Dr. Miller—No. Hs has no special directiona to that effect, bat i the cow is not well fatted, or is feverish, ho is expected to condemn her. Our meat-inspector is & professional butcher, and, as far as possible, is expected to condemn everything unwholesoms. . CRIPPLED CATTLE. Roportor—Are cattle ever killed and offered for sale that have been crippled coming in on the cars ? Dr. Miller—Such cattle are often Lilled, but when we can ascertain tho fact theyare con- demoed, 28 such meat isunfit for food. It 1s generally bruised, parts of it blood-shot, and the nuimal is gonerally very foverish. Reporter—Do you think any such meat gets ‘past our inspector and is consumed in the city ? Dr. Miller—Yes, for one man cannot inspect a3 it should be done, one-third of the meat that is sold daily in the City of Chicago, and it would be very easy for a butcher to cut off the worst bruised pieces, and sell the rest in his shop. I have no doubt tbat this is frequeutly done. I know of one instance in which Dr. Mannheimer, one of onr medical inspectors, condemned & number of carcasses of discased meat, and was mssured thatit would not be offered for sale, (this was during the Texas cattle-disense.) Ho left tho slaughter-honeo, but kept a watch on the meat, and followed it to North Kinzie street, where the commission houses wero located be- fore the fire, and seize d thres trucx-loads of it. It this meat was brought up-town and offered for sale almoet under the eves of an inspector, what would it be when they could not be fol- lowed up so closely ? OWNERS OF THE SLAUGHTER-EOUSES. Repotter—Are the owners of the slaughter- ‘houses cognizant of such doings? - Dr. Miller—I have been informed by the own- ers of several houses where stock is Ialled for city nze, that meat was put npon themarket heredaily that wasunfit for food ; thattheythem- selves were exceadingly careful whers the meat came from which they ate and on which their familiea fed, Reporter—Are the slaughter-house proprie- tors not responsiblo? Dr. Miller—Directly I do not think they are, for, whils they may know that infit meat is being. killed, yet, if they were to make an exposure and claim this, it would get them into a fight with the butchers that would hurt them ana do nobody any good. Reporter—Are bruised carcasses condemned ? Dr. Miller—As I stated before, we have but one meat-inapector, and when he finds a bruised carcass he is expectod to coudemn it. THE INEPECTOR'S DUTIES. Reportor—What.are the duties of this inspeo- tor, and what ground is he expected to covar ? Dr. Miller—He is expected to visit the slaugh- ter-houses at Bridgeport daily, to visit the whole- sale markets, and to examine sl meats offered for sale there. Roporter—Can one man do that duty ? Dr. Miller—No. he cannot examine one-third of it as it should bs examined. There should be at least two men to examine meat at the Bridgeport slaughter-honses, two at ther wholesale markets, and one to examine all meats killed beyond city limits that come into our markets for sale. In fact, an ordinance sbould be passed not permitting any meat to be sold that has not been examined by & comy tent lnspector, and the brand of the Health De- partment placed upon it, certifying that it is sound. Afl ment not sound, or not fit for food, should be condemned and immediately carted away, 80 that it conld not possibly be sold. TRoporter—Would you include all meats,— calves, beaves, fc“" and shesp? Dr. Miller—Yes,. I should include all those, and have them branded in such a way that any purchaser could sce that the meat had been in- spected and passed, the brand so arranged that the inspector making such examination would bo known and responuible for each carcass passed. TReportor—Has this matter been considered by the Board ? Dr. Miller—It has been considored. but we were unable to carry it into effect, as wo had no means to hire tho sdditional inspectors 1o ; no plan has been porfected. In our estimate for the appropriation for next year, we bLave asked for ton additional men, half of whom would ba used as meat-inspectors. WHERE THE MEAT I8 KILLED. Reporter—Is all tho meat used in Chicago kill- ed at Bridgeport ? - . Dr. Miller—No. A portion of it'is killed at the Stock-Yarda. Reporter—Is this meat, killed at the Stock- Y;l’d;fl, inspectod before it is brought into the city ? Dr. Miller—It is not. The only inspection it gets is at the wholesale markets by our” single meat-inspector. . Reporter—Would it not be easier for s person to bringin acrippled animal from the houses outside the city limits than those within thecivic jurisdiction ? Dr. Milier—~It would, 88 we have no one to visit the Stock-Yard slaughter-honses, and to in- spect tho animals killed there. As imperfectly 48 the inspection is done in the city, much good results from it. i R:Xoflet—whlt class of cattle is generally killed and sold in Chicago butcher shopa ? Dr. Miller—I am informed by good authority at the Stock-Yards that the hestcattle go East;in fact, a ferw days sgo s gentleman largely engaged in slaughtering informed mo that tha cattle sold bere were poor. He thought that something shonld be done in regard to Chicago meat, by which farmers would bo taught not to sead us meat unfit for markot. SOME GOOD MEAT. Reporter—Of course you do not mean to say that no good meat 1= sold in Chicazo at all ? Dr. Muler—Certainly not. Therc are many bulchors who could not afford to sell any but good meats, notably many on the South Side, whose customers are too critical to bs deceived, and do not object to five cents a pound extra to insure a delicacy. Tho trouble is with the poor man who comes bome hungry and_ tired, and bis wifo sots bofore him a couplo of pork-chops, at 14 cents & pound, she has purchased for his edi- fication a¢ the Landiest butcher-shop. These turn out to be cut from an old *stag,” or & lean, underfed unhealthy hog which was in no condi- tion to come to Chicago. This is where the univorssl hardship is felt. Reporter—I should think it would be to the interests of our large dealers to raise tho stan- dard of our meats as high as posaible. Dr. Miller—3any of tacm are much oxercised over the present condition of affairs. Mr. John B. Sherman, Superintendent of the Stocl- Yards spoke to me on the mattor quite rncend{. and stated that in his opinion all crippled cattlo 2and hogs should invariably go to the tanks and not to the market. Iknow thst Mr. Sherman is quite conscientious upon this point. INSPECTION ELSEYHERE. Reporter—Is Chicago tebind other cities mn the matter of the inspaction and branding of meata? Dr. Miller—yes. In New York, for instance, the work is conducted in & most thorough and systematic manner. do not know what the size of the inspecting force in, but it must be both large and well organized, and made up of exports in good and bad moats. There oven the meat tor paupers i8 rigidly inspected. Themeat which is intended for the palates of Boss Tweea's comrades at Blackwel's Island is in- spected daily at the foot of Twenty-gixth streot before being taken to the Prison. Reporter—I should like to have a talx with your meat-inspactor upon the subject ? Dr, Miller—That can easily be arranged. Meat~ Inspector Van Hollern begins his day's work at 6 o'clock to-morTow morning, at the commission market on Jackson street, botween Canal and Clinton streets. I will arrange to have him meet vou thore and take you with him on his tour of inspection. Reporter—That is a delightfu] hour at which to bagin a day’s worl, and I shall be at the spot at_tho hour named. = While tho revorter was engaged in converss- tion with Dr. Miller, fortune throw TWO PROMINENT ALDEBMEN in the way of that official.

WITH THE INSPECTOR. Yesterday morning, at the witching hour of 6, ‘Tre TRIBUNE reporter cut his way through the mists to the lamp-post at the corner of Jackson and Canal streets, at whioh, as Dr. Reed quaint- ly putit, it would be mestto meet the moat- inspector, Theodore VanHollen. This official had already made tho tour of the Jackson street market, in which hs had failed to dotect tho presence of any meat not worthy of gracing the table of an Eastern otentate, or an Alderman of tae People's party. @ then, together with the reporter, moved to tho Board of Health office, - where ho underwent a half-hour interview. Ha aclnowledged that a thorough inspection of the meat of Chicago could not be accomplished by one man. He held that the ides entertained generally by the public of himself and the nature of his datics was uite an incorrect one. Most of them thought that his miesion was to be perpetuzlly on the scent of blown quarters of beef, and lcgs of mutton whose.fragrance could elicit from the average North-Sider a disgasted *‘Mein Gott, how high is dot?"; that ho waa thosworn enemy of the iasidious blue-bottle, and a walking epit- ome of the virtues of carbolic acid and chloride of lime. Tho fact of the matter was, that it was vory seldom that his nose was assaulted by the malodorous viands. HIS CHIEF OCCUPATION was the looking after and condemning of un- healthy, bruised, and immature meats. The mest inspector stated that the season was too Iate for any great success in condomning “glinks.” the tochnical name for calves which are only a day or 80 old. During the past week, he had succeeded in condemning one. In the month of April, however, tho number of inks " condemned by him amounted to about hirty each week. The worst specimen of the link ” he had ever beheld was captured by him during that month. The carcassof tha animal, which had evidently been hurried into this world with the aid of a butcher's koife, weighed only 22 pounds, and its flesh was porous as sponge, sud just about as natritions and digeatible. This pecaliar kina of meat, which the Sanitary Superintendent stated was not now indulged in in Chicago, was, ac- cording to the inspector, still in vogue in cer- tain of the poarer portions of the city, especially in the quarter occupied by the Bohemians, who cannot be fastidiously epicuresn in their sppe- tites.
