. THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: 5 s A COUP DETAT. Ao Chioago & Paoific Road Lays Down . Its Track on Hawthorn Avenue, Indignation of the Peoplo- Tutorfore. Attompts to Proapocts'vo'f o Riot. On tho 10th of Juno, 1873, the Counotl passed 80 ordinanco giving to tho Obleago & Pacifio Rallroad tho right of way into thé city. Dy this ordinanca they were ompowered to run on the Eloomingdalo ‘road to tho North Branch, across it to Jonos avonuo, snd thouco on Jonos and Hawthorn avonues to Willow streot, o couplo of blocks north of North avenue. Hera tho froight and pussongor tracke diverge, tho former runnlng over on to Gooso Island, the Iand betwoon the Ogdon Canal ‘aud the North Branoly and the lattor running down Hawthorn avonue, which runs parallel with the Ogden Canal to Larraboo stroot, which It intoraots fuat above Chicago avenue. TP TO YESTERDAY the passengor track stopped on Gooso Island, nonr Halsted stroet bridgo. Thoro was groat opposition among pronerty-holdora on Hawthorr wyonue to Iaying down a track there, on account of the roal or fancied injury to thoir possos- sfons, and thoy have boon greatly stirred up as to how thoy wers to got redress for damages if tho track wore laid. " Paoplo on Divislon strect, & groat ravel road, which this railway would in- torsect, woro slso, bitterly opposed to laying o track, and running traine across it, sinco it wrould intorforo matorially with busincss on that horoughfaro. + Up- to_Saturday night the Railrond Company remalnod quicscent, But it could not sfford to wilt any longer. The condition of its franchise E‘l‘:. that the traoks ehonld be laid in two yonrs. 0 timo was running out. Thoy darod not bo- o oporations on a weok day for fear of an jn- unction, and honce "thoy ~ molacted Baturday night aa tho boat time for beginning their opora« tions, and. putting on a heavy force laid down the entire track, over & milo in lougth, bofore sunsot SBunday. > DEGININNG OPERATIONS. At fiftoen minutos of 130'clock Saturday night Rhe gorporation, cognizant of tho brief timo that avould-elapse before their claim to titlo would ba barred, determined to confirm the right of way granted by eccuring posscssion, aud began work. Numberloss wagons and men were em- Eloyed in carrying to nnd placing in position the i6s and paraphorualia of- tho rond bed, which, baving beon placed in position with all possible 8 uda tho army of lsborers who had been em- pY:ye for that purpose began placing tho rails. . THEY DEGAN WORR - on Hawthorn avenue, opposito the Gas-Works and near Hobbio streot, and _thosoresiding in tho immediate vicinity were arouscd from their rofreshing slumbors by the thud of the spike- hammer driving homo tho stoel. fastoning that confines tho iron rails to thoir placea. Most in~ @uatrious wore those employed, and did ono lag @t his labor to wipe tho porspiration from his grpw. or halt to contomplate & pnsalng object, 0 was cautioned by his tnsk:mnster, who, in- apired by » desire of completing the work, could brook no delay. » 2 - TWO GANeE worked In- oppogito dircctions. Ono sot ad- ¥anced south:at rapidstrides, and only censed tlieir labors whon the track reachiod Larrabee street, The :other continued in a northerly durection, ond, as.the chimos from a neighboring ntoo] Iod.mnonnendfi o'olook, Centre street was konched, - - - . When the light of day ehono throngh the (patchod window of & tenomont in ! Hell's' Half= :\Fre,'f or. emiled gonerously into the house the‘honost workingmen, it also greeted tho work as noarly sccomplished. ' Those who were either. remotoly or othorwlse interested in jpreventing the object of the Railroad Company Wore s - B n SUNPRISED AND CIAGRINED ot the coup de otat which had dofoated them. #nota of pooplo gathered about the corners of tho streets whioh the track crossed obliquos Iy on Hawthorn avenue, and looked ox- citodly at the strategio mansuvre, which pos- sessod ono merit at least, that of wuccoss. A BMALL LOW. . Thers small gatherings gradually bocamo larger, and increased ag the report of tho night's proceedings wes spread about,. At anenrly bour -esterday morning Capt. Gund visited the Bcone, A was instrumontal in dispersing the crowd, nnd not only preventing - numerous rencontres, but probably a bloody riot during the dsy. It {s roported that Ald. Peter Mabr did not thesitato to urgo s numbor of his. constituents that they would abstaln from pillaging the property of the Company, but looked™ on while & crowd tore up ties and rails, and placing thom in a heap applied the torch and sccomplished thelr destruction. Last evening qulot provailed, .and, though serious apprehonsion was folt by the authorities, nt 2 o'clock_this morning no disturbance bad occurred. Mygorle’a saloon on Hobbie strest, which it was supposed would bo the Lead- quarters of those malcontents, was visitod at midnight, and s solitary couple, overcome with the numerous bibulous -compouuds thoy had quaffed during tho evening, roating on obairs supported by tho wall, oblivious to passing ovonts and the requests of the bar-keoper to leave, wero tho only objects that mot aro- porter's gaze. g . Bquads of polico were located at convenlent points, ready ot o moment’s notice to fly to the rescuo of thoir companiona who should become ongaged in au offort to suppress tha anticipatod disorder. Ofiicers patrolled Hawthorn avénua constantly, and if «n object was visiblo through tho darknoss Oof _that dark quartor in tho wviclnity of <ne track it became an object of no xuennd‘mmbla interest to the night guardian, At suo varions stations throughout the city men were hold in roadiness to respond to a call for belp, but at a late hour that call hadnot been heard, The thunder-storm which passed ovor tho city at nearly 1o'cloock doubtless had tho of- foct of postponing any contemplated actempt at crenting o disturbanco, but tho. beliof is ox- prossod, by those assuming to know, that the postponement 18 but tomporary. It {s nasorted that, shonld the work be prosecuted to-day, it can only bo dono uuder guard, so incensed are tho rosidonts of that seotlon, .

The bymn ‘¢ Como Thou Almighty King" ‘was, then sung, aftor which % TUE REV. W. B. RALPI mad a fow remarks on the question of what at- titude tho Univorsallst ‘Church should sustain towards tho liboral tlhionght and tondoncy dis- played in tho Evangolical OChurches. He sald tlint thoy should atand with arms wide open to embrace thoso who were approaching Universal- {sm. Ho mightdo some ono an injustico by what ho was going to eny, yot ho had soen some thiugs that might be said and perhaps ought to bo said, A liberal thought in the livangolical Oburches in this tho ninctoenth century was unique. The old creeds' romsinod ; thero was » tondency to ignoro thom it was truo, but low strong was this tondenoy ? To illustrate, Prof, Bwing had sald he did not beliove in predostination, but how many othors bad eald this? Tho mombers of his Church un- derstood Prof, Bwing's doctrinoa to bo evangelieal, whilo thosa outside the Ohurch thought them to bo oxcoadinyly liboral. g . Tho roverend gontloman sald that every man had an obligation to atand by tho truth a8 bo “undoratood it. He acon- fossod Lo DLad Hitlo faith in orthodoxy. No Univorsalist would attond an evangelical olurch in proference to his own. What tho Churoh wanted was men of conviction, honost men, who dared openly spoak thoir sentimaent to the world. Ho didu't cars for tho triumph of Univorsalism under . that namo, but he did care for tho frhlmfll of its principles. It was their duty to stand firmly by those principles, Ho gavo a soathing rebuke. to Uuiversalists who neglectod their own servicos and attended the evangelical churches. . THE REV. DR, FORRESTER followed on tho same subjoct. He eafd it was woll that the meaning of the terms thoy usod should bo well understood inZdoaliug with tho subjoect. The word Evangolical moans the re- ligion of Jesus Christ, and in this Universalists wero Evangelicsl. But the word had beon used to desiguato those who belioved in cortain doo- trines, as predestination, total dopravity, eto. Thora was just as wido a latitude in the dofini- tions of other things in the Evangelical and Univorealist churchos,—the iden of Gud, of Christ; of tho -dostiny of man. The inspiration of liberal thought and progros- sive movoment muet como from tho pow, not from tho pulpit. The peoplo were responsible for the advanco of liboralism, Tho whole system ©of Church affairs was tending to show the truth thiat liberalism camo from the people, The Bible was capable of many ambiguons roadings, and could bo interproted in a liboral or narrow direction, according to the varlous tondencles of thought. Io would grant that thore was n tondonoy towards “liboralism, and t might bo all righe for tho Universalwts to stand with open’ arms . and receive thoso who wero approaching _tholr boliaf. They said the doctrine of infant damnation was horriblo. "They must hnve patienco with thoso ruapla who woro struggling to broak away from hio thralldom of old 'iuunu. and patienao with {muloru striving to reach ultimato truth, and for hose who wora still busied with tho dogmas of tho past.
