History of His Early Caroor, Harry Livingstone was arrested in thiscity Mny 27, and brought bofore Justice Boyden, chinrged with forgery. His caso was a aingular ono, The Monday provious to his arrest, Mr. DoHovon, Cashior of the Morchants® National Bank, rocolved & lotter dated Palmer House, Chieago, May 26, and signed Aloxaudor Holland, Troasuror of tho Amorican Exprogs Company, roquesting bim to honor o sight draft for from £1,000 to $14,000 the next day. Tho lotier was written on o hulf shoot of the hotel note-papor. [t was ambiguous in Janguage, since’ tha writer did not state whether. ho wanted to moll Now York oxchange or to doposit checks. Mr, DeKoven, therefore, sont back by the messengor a roply statsting that as the smount mentioned was quite & large one, he should prefer to ses him in person so that the proper arrangements could be mado. Dr. DeKoven thon went around to the office of the Amorican Express Company, sud fold.ng the lottor doublo so that only the signature was visi- ble, asked the Cashior whether it was Mr. Hol- land's, He lonrned that tho signature was a forgery, and that tho roal Mr, Holland had left for tho East the day provious, Mr. DeKoven' awaited events, Tho noxt morning while sitting at his usual placo at tho bank an olderly, woll-dressed, gray-haired gontloman with eye-glasses approach- ed, and, in a onlemanly mannor asked if this wns Mr. Dolloven. Mr. DeKoven suswored fn the aflirmative, whereupon the elderly gentloman informed that bis name wns Alexander Holland, Mr.DoKoven, who was con- sderabiy surprised at the audacity of tho man, aulied bim to sit down, which ho did, remarking that tho office was a vory nice ons. Ho thon told Mr. DeKoven that he had considerable trouble with the Commereial National Banlt, and thorofore wanted to transtor his busincss to him. It would bo necossary for him te got §200,000. Ho only wanted §94,000 that dany, nod tho balance might remain to his credit on their books, While the clerk was msking out tho draft Mr, DeKoven took tho man into the Proaidont's room, and whilo he was there ho sumrioned a policoman by tolegraph, Mo then bauded tue draft to Mr, Holland and asked him to sign it, which he did without hesitution, and when avhed, added, * Tronsuror of the American Express Company." Thoy then stopped out, ond at a concerted signal an oficer appeared and arrestod the forgor ‘Whon brought bofore the Justico, Mr. De- Koven, with Mr. Xurgo, of tho American lix- Pross Compnay, Were present, Mr. Yargoatated ihe man wus iusane, and be Was almost cortain ho know hun; ho was a_momber of a family of Livingatoney of New York, whoso standing in tho community was unoxcopiionuble, and ho do- sired thut the prisonor be locked up until ho could hear from the family. This roquest was complied with, 11e wus discharged atnlate hour the same night, it being Lelieved that ho was insane, Mr. Fargo interceded for his release, and a lack of desiro on the part of the corporation to prose- cuto a insano man resulted 1 the return of the prisoner to his family. o was atated to be tho son of Johnstone Livingutous, of Now York City, oneof tho fonnders of the Amorican Expross Company, Mr, Furgo doputed an agont to re- cover the personal pruKan)' of the fumily, and rovided thom with the mienus to raliove their immedinto necossitics.

THE HOLY NAME. Laylog the Corner-8tone of (he Now Building, Descriplion of Its Proposed Exterlor and Interior. Procession of the Various Cathollo : Bocioties. . Bermon by the Rev. Father Damen. The Oburch of the Holy Nams, which, provi- ous to the great fire, stood upon the moutheast corner of Btate and Buperlor streots, was among the oldest nud best of ths Roman Catholia odi- ficen in Chicago. It had a large and respeotable congregation, & fine choir, ampls accommoda- tion, aud all that goes to make up & pleasant place of worship. .The spire was buildiog to & groat hoight when the flames came down upon it in common with the othor eaéred and seoular buildings wherewith it was surrounded. The loss was, of courss, [mmonas. The cougregation wos soattored moro or loss, aud those who ro- turned to the North Sldo wore compolled to croct o temporary one-story wooden structure, whorein tho' sorvices bave been carriod on dur- ing the past two yeara. - This building was se- veroly uncomfortable, In wintor the cold was extreme, and {n summer the pastors Lad very littlo necesnity for alludiog to sulphurio reglons, consideting the atate of the temporature within tho hamble but torrid tomple. i THE NEW RUILDING, the foundntions of which have besn lald for Aome timo, {8 locatod on the northeaat corner of Btato and Buporior streets, exactly opposito where the old edifice stood. Thero bas been considorable discussion relative to the adoption of & plan of architecture which, smong other things, Eranntefl the carryiug forward of the worlk with more rapidity. TFinally Mr, Kelloy, & Now York architect, succeeded 'in winning the approbution of Bishop IFoley, aud his plans wors duly noeoptod, Mr. T, monard, well known in this city, was given general charge of oxocuting the design, letting contracts, and everything requinite for the construction of the naw tab- ernacle, THE PLAN. | The embrronic structure is of mors eapacious dimensions than {ts greducnuora, having a front- age of 100 feeton Stote stroot, and a depth of. 210 foet on Buperlor. Like moat all Catho- lie edificos, it will be built atter the Gothtoatyle, The main entrance on Btato street will havo a width of 20 anda height of 22 feot, heavily molded with atone work, The spire will be placed on the southwast corner, the tower to be carrred to & height of 80 foot, 20 feet aquare, after which the spire will riss to au edditional altitnde of 100 feet, making & total of 240 feat from the ground to the cross upon tho summit. Anothor towor of the sama drmonflnnu will arleo on the northeast corner, but thers will be no spire. Each of the towara will_bo lighted by thres large windows, Tho window placed over the entrance will be impos- ingly orbamonted, There will bs two rows of. six windows on ench sido of the main bullding. “Thesa will be doue Iu stained glass, after the fushion of most sacrod arobiteoturs, A large door will also be placed on each side, with & door to each tower, which, Including the grand entranco, will give tho building flve moans of ingress and egross, ‘The majestio spire will be about the loftiest in tho city, and, fudglng by the plans, the oxtorior of the now I oly Name will bo littlo short of wagnificent. V THE INTERTON. Nor will the Intorior bo in the least behind the imposing n[mct of the outer building. The main auajtorium will have sents capable of ac- commodating 8,000 worsbipers, Lha seats will ho arranged in four rows, with broad aisles on the ground floor, and, at the west end, there will be a very eapncious gallory. The sanctuary will be situated at the eastern ter- minus, and will be 40 feot square, The grand alear will have a width of 33 feet, and an alti- tudo of 85 foet, tho deoorations” to bo carved worl, statucs, orncifixes, and the othor para- pherualia of the Roman faith, Vestry-rooms, 34 by 18 foet, will be placed on oach sido of tho sanctusry. These will accom- modate tho -officiating pricsts, From floor to apex the height of the church inside wilt rench tho imposing figure of 88 fect. Tho embellish-~ ing work will bo on a soalo commensurate with the importance of the structure. - Yeatordny had boon fixed as the day for the Iaying of the corner stone of thonew church, aud the ceromony was naturally one in which all the Catholic sooloties of the clty took an activa art, forming ou tho Wost Side and marching {hunue to tho chureh, .
