He gorved fourtoen yoars for his Rachgl. Curious poople would like to know how long his descend- aut is going to serve. People who have tried say that they couldn't hoar Gen, Grant epoak if they would, and they wouldn't if they conld. The General says that he couldu't sposk1f ha would, and hs wouldn't it ho conld. Ho has tried. Isnacson’s mame will bo linked in history with s, O'Loars’s. Isaacson is a Polish Jow. Mra, O'Leary fs descended from an ancient Irish fomily, Authropologists may do thels woret by this informatton. It Tenacson did light the match that tho firo that burned $4,000,000 of property in Chicago on Tuesday week, and if his objectin doing 8o was to recover tho oxcessive insuraunce on lus shanty, who is responsible? Does not part of the blame rest on the company that in- sured his bouse above its valuo ? Jones, of Nevads, has been intorviewedin ro- gard to the third torm. He believes that Gen. Grant bas too much eoneo to aspire boyond his Ppresont groatness, Nono of tue President's good frienda speak favorably of the third torm ; and tho rosult {s that the President's heart inclinca more and moro toward his bad friends. Henry L. Piorco says that ho did not sign tho Republican Congressional address, That is a matter of small consequence. Logan eigned it, and the country is safe.

Itis downright cruol to como Laok on Chicago for tho firo, That wasa visltation of Providonco, and Providence could never have intended to ombarrass Jay Cooke & Co. All the factions in the Fronch Assombly aro 1aking thoir last wills and testaments in con- templation of tho proboble fate of Casimir Poreire's bill.

Ho was lod from bad to wordo by clronmatences over which he had not com- ploto control, Mis fortune was moon ox- lausted, and, to make good the deflcit, he took money belongiog to tho clty.

Tho Bonrd acted hastily on tho rocoipt of the nows of yestordny morning's firo. The tono of thofr summons is more poromptory than wo should expect. Tho spocial fire pitrol would undoubtedly bo of much sorvice in pro- venting tho sproad of fires, but to insist upon its establlshmont ae sole condition to tho take- ibg of turthoer riske in Obfengo'is absurd, Tho Bonrd wowld have consulted its own dignity and intereat by sonding a committes to inquire into the faots, ‘Wo had almost forgotton about Bean, the con- ductor on tho Chicago & Alton Road, who is said to have causod the dienster at Bag Bridge. Othor peoplo also have forgotten about Bean. The publicinterest in the proceedings ngainst him hos uttorly died away. It will not, proba- bly, bo renwakened by the announcoment made this morning that the cnso againat him, which wag Instituted at Joliot in the first ardor of tho popular frenzy,” bns been dismissed, And yor it s only & fow months sinco everybody swore that Bean's crime shonld nover bo forgotten.

Becolior bos givon out for publication a statemont in suswér to that of Theodore Tilton, and promises something moroin dotail at a futura timo, For the present he is content to eay that ho rojocts with Indignation ovory imputation which roflects upon Mrs. Tilton's honor or his own, Tho offenso for which he apologized is oxplained to bo on unhappy interferenco in Mr, Tilton's do- maostio affairs. Tho issuoe is thus cloarly mado up betweon Mr, Boccher and Mr. Tilton. One of them speaks truly, and onoof them falsely. Mr. Tilton hes given a circumstantial nar- rative, and sworn to its truthfulness, BMr. Boccher has drawn wupon his reserve fund of good roputation, and denied the sccusation in all its brendth, Of course, the matter cannot rest hore. .Mr. Beochoer's good namo will servo bim in'this emergency to stay public opinion, butit will not sorve him farther. The formnl and doteiled charge must be rofuted in form and detail, MR, AND MRS, THEODORE TILTON, The caroer of Mra. Elizaboth R. Tilton, as shown in the recontly-publishod correspondenco aod in hor lator action, is as full of paradoxes and contradiotions ag a thiatle is of stings, ¥tia impossiblo to touch it angywhore without pain, and whon wo seck to construct anything whole- somo and lovely out of it, wo are drivan back with defoat. Novertheless, her conduct can be sccounted for without recourso to insanity. Nor is 'Lilton himself insaue. Wis statemont betrays anything but madness. It {sa close, methodical, woll-arranged, and consiutont document ; and, rogarded 0 a more literary nproduction, is en- titled to high proise. But the picture it gives of Mra, Tilton, void of malice and all uncharita~ blouess as it is, may woll domand our eazeful at- tention and unfeigned sorrow. In the firat placo wo are shown, by Tilton's statoment, a married woman who seos nothe ing wrong in adultery It it tokes tho guigo of religious onthusiesm. 3Mre, Tilton s not the firat woman in tho world who has hecn & proy to this hallucination, bat the fact furnishes a start- log point for tho orrafio and disjointed careor which follows, Snolis lod todoubt the roligious charactor and tondoncies of tho net by obe sorviog that deception is pocossary to car- ry it on—that is, that tho original per- Jury,—for adultory nlwoya begins with per- Jury—requires certain small lies to conceal it. This dawning porcoption of the reality of hor conduct is so much strongthened by ronding & lascivious novel that sho writes o Iotter to hor husband full of penitence and affection, offering to renew her broken marriogo vows to him, Mr. Tilton nccopts tho offor, and tho noxt wo hoar of Lor sho has given a ‘paper tohor paramonr *to vindicate him boforo a councll of mivisters.” Forthwith glio gives hor husband another papor stating that the preced- ing papor ig a lio, and that sho bas stipulated with Baechor that it should not bo used agalust hier husband, but might be used againat all the world beside. The paper givon to Becchor was immediately recovered by Tilton, and the wholo matier soomod likely to lspso into oblivion, whon the Brooklyn Congregational Council uncovered it {o part, and led to the rocont bitter and vehoment uttacks on ‘Tilton by tho Rov. Leousrd Bacon and by the Brooklyn newspapors, 3fr. Tilton deomed it noc- osaary to vindicato himsolf againat tho ochargo, 8lmost univeranlly brought aguinat him, that he was & slandoror of Lis pastor and of his own wite, and sccordingly wrote his letter to Dr. Baoon. Mra, Tilton thon turned another cornor, She went bofora'tho Investigating Committeo and teatifled undor oath that Mr, Beecher bad nover had impgppor rolations with her and nover bad made an fmproper suggostion to hor, Bho then ropentod of hor last rerjury, and confoss- od to Titon and an lntimats friend that what ehio had tostifled was falss, The noxt thing wo koar is that she has aban- doned hor homo and children and taken up her rosldence with one of Mr. Boecher's frlonds, Of courao, anything may happon atter this, and the publio neod not be surprised atany- thing Mra, Tilton may do or 68y, Aftor rocount~ iug all her strango procoedings, one cannot but fool & profound pity for ber, Her conduct fs oxplainablo on perfootly natural grounds, Tho first sln paved tho way for all the others, or xathor mado all the othors nogotaary, Quly the' mout horolo souls can summon tho rovolution to face such oxpoanro as sho was called to faco § and such souls gonerally approve themsolves bhorolo by not committing tho first ein, Mre. Tiiton doos not bolong to the estegory of solf- snorlficiug spirits, butto that of erring, fugl- tivo ones, who cannot brave the punishmont that clivgs to thelr own mlsdeods. Though ro- solving, porhaps sinceroly, to sin no moro, to bo truo to horeolf and her Christian profession, tho first appesrauco of hor Nomesls puts her to flight. 8o had more tomptation to dony her Mastor than Yotor had, aud probably ahe will weop move bltterly horeaftor, ‘Ihis I8 the ploture drawn by Thoodors Tilton of Alra, Elizabeth R, Tilton, supvorted by cor- tain documontary proofs. Mrs, Tllton’s testl- mony has not yot boou hoard. It {s possible that whon it comes tho public may reach a dif- foront verdict frum that which now soems in- ovitablo. But it not—i¢ Mr, ilton's ploture in finally accoptod as the truo ono—we must exerclso oll tho charity possible for n wonk woman, standing, as it woro, on & burning sbip with the flamos on ono sido of her and tho wavos on tho other. On tho ono band sbo seos hor own reputation and that of her cbildron, and the whito Lairs of hor paronta; on the othor the folr famo of hor husband and tho affection sho owed him. BSho fluttors from ono to tho other and back again; and nobody, not oven herself, can toll whero sho will finally sottlo and fold hor wings, God belp hor! As for Mr. Tilton, he Is ofthor tho most pur- posoless and egreyions liar the world line ever Bcon, or olio ho i 8 paragon of the Christian virtuos, Which place ho sball occupy in the publio estimation itis prematuroe to assign him until tho romain- dor of the testimony is hoard. We note at the conclusion of Mr. Tilton's evidonco two stato- ments of considerablo pregnancy. One is that ho has other corroborating proofa to advance if theso aronot deomed sufficiont. Tho other is tbat hohus purposoly restricted his narrative “to the rolations of Mr. Beoclor with Mra, Tilton, and with no othor person or persons,” implying that similar rolations have oxisted bo- twoon Mr. Beechor and othor women., It tho public shall finally ronder a verdiot that oriminal intercourse hua existed botwoon Beocher and Mra. Tilton, they will not ask much proof to sub- [ stantiato the othor cases, e —— THE STATE BIREET FIRE, The fire on State streot yestorday morning was one of thoss eveuts which bring constornation upon tho public mind. 1% oocurred in one of the bast-constritoted buildings in the city, in & build- ing occupted by two merchants,—ono dealing in carpets, and the other in watches and Jowelry. It took placo at & sonson of the yenr whon thero woreno fires, Tho buildings woro closed at 6 o'alock tho provious evoving. It took placo dur~ ing the night, burned slowly, and was not dis- coverod until it had extonded to tho groater part of tho building. According to tho statomont of Alr. Giles’ clerks whio slpt in the storo, the fire bogan in the upper storics, but even then, g0 far downward had it progroased, that they had to fly for thoir lives. It is hardly onough to say that this firo is o mystery. The theory of spontane- ous combustion is not admissiblo, and, in tho absonce of any eatisfactory oxplanation, public opinion will units in attributing i to incon- diarism, Tho heat of the burning storos was intengo enough to break tho plate glass on tho opposito sido of tho stroot, at least 100 foot dlstant 3 but, thauks o the woll-built walls of the adjpining buildings, the fire was confined to the building in which it originated, The firomen did thelr duty most admirably and successfully, but the uins attost tho strength and rosieting power of tho nowly-built Chicago. 'This was o fair test of tho high walls of theso firat-class buildings, In tho rear the burning building was separated by only a 30-feot atloy from o line of like storcs on Wabash avonuo ; but the firemen, nided by the stout walls and shutters, kept the fire within its original limits. ‘This firo toaches tho nocessity for & thorough and legat Inquest upon tho causos lending to all fires. If ever thoro was an oceasion for Investi- gation, this fire furnishies it. So far ng appoars, it took placo without cause, and yet thore must have beon s producing csuse. In Now York they have an ofticer belonging to tho Firo Do- partmont whose businoss it is to mako n sum- mary investigation,—to hold & sort of Coronor's inquest upon each firo to ascortain its origin and its cause. The ofticer huving that special busi- noss does it promptly, boing clothed by law with 2ll tho nocossary powors, This fire should bo investigated, not only for tho sntisfaction of tho publie, but of tho owners and the tonants of the buildings and of tho insurance companies, The circumatsnces aro 8o oxtraordinary that Bome kind of explauation must bo made, for tho goneral verdict will bo rendered that it waa an incondiary act. ———— TILTON'S EVIDENCE, Bhoarman’s aualyais of Tilton's tostimony Ig nothing but & clumey pleco of pottifogeing. The porson on trial is Boechor, He ig charged with having seduced the wife of Theodore Til- ton; of having taught hor that lust could be pure, and in some eort a roligious rite. It is alleged thot, under tho cloak of Christianity, ho did, for the 8pace of & year and abilf, have froquent criminal relations witl-her. Thus is tho chargo, It mat- ters little, thoroforo, whother or not, as Shoar- mao ueys, Tilton know that, bofore the alloged *“eovil ovent," his wife Led boen exporimonting with horself, and testing hor feeling for Mr, Becchor, or whethor ‘Pilton encouraged improprietics between hor aod Mr. Boschor. It in quite irrolevant to the issue that Tilton made no complaint for o long timo aftor tho confossion of his wife's secrob. None of these oxousos can serve Boocher, Nor can wo bellovo that tho true causo of Ar. Beeokior's state of mind fa ** not any im- proper relation with Mra. Tilton,” Tilton's ovidonoe is explainable only on the assumption that ench a rolation did oxist, In the fivst placo, it 18 not rational to suppose that ho would wantonly and maliclonaly malign Mra. Tilton and ruln bor roputation for life, There {8 nothing to show that hie over bore hiy wifo any Ill-will, Iis whole ovidonco provos, evon mow, the utmoat tondornesa for her, An onalysis of Boecher'a lotters and of Afrs, Tilton’s points to a grave moral wrong, Itis plain that the two, Boochor and Mrs, Tilton, were partles to an ack which'both aftorwards condemued as crimioal, It was an sot’ fhioh broke all friendship betwaen Tilton, hia wifo, ond Boecher, for Boechor mays that he would to God that by His mediation ¢ Theodore, Elizabeth, i and himeolf could be made frionds sgain,” Tilton, Bocoher confonses, way fhoono most sinned agaliist, He forgave Dasoh- or, and Beechor wondored it Elizaboth, -his wito, knew how gonerous Tilton was, Now, what nero Doscher's foallnge about the wrong ? Whon o foared that ho should bo oxposed be did not oxpect.““to bo alive many days,” 1Ifo alludos to the dreaded discovery as **the storm that was ready to burst on our hosds,” Wrlling to Afr, Tilton about the past, ho plaintively aska 2f thore be no future,—"no wiser, highor, hollor future.” ‘Writing to Moulton, he 8poRka of tho dovicon by which him- wolt and BMra. Tilton saved themsolvos, Ho speaks of Mvs, Tilton's fault whioh hor huse Land bad condoned., In other words, heo “*humbles himsolf boforo God," eays ho suffors * tho torments of tho damned,” and that he fs living on tho sbarp and raggod odge of anxlety, remorse, fonr, and dospsir” 8o much for Beoohor's lottars, Mra, Tilton's uttorances polnt, a8 do Boochor's, to nothing less than criminality, Blie writos to hor husband that her ©yoB aro opened nnd that sho saos hor slu; that sho 1s propared to ronew bor marriago vow with him, implying thatit had been broken j praying that homay never bo misled by a good woman ns 8UO was by a good man ; that, if hor lifo were made known to her fathor, it would bow down hls hend to tho grave, Bho Bpoaks nlso of hor ‘“gin " and its discovory, and tolls hor lusband that sho s prostrated owing to tho sulfering slio hna caused bim, Now, if all tho documonts, or sorfle of them, in which those startling statements are mado, are uot downright forgories, thero is soarcoly o doubt of Bocolier's guilt. Nothing but his uilt can oxplain Mra, Tilton's solf-ncousation, or why Beachor folt tho torments of tho damnod, or wished ho was doad, or lived on tho sharp and 1agged edge of anxicty, romorso, and dospair, To thoe charges mado against Beechor there is now uo dofonso possible, oxcopt tho ploa that Tilton {8 a forgor vod a perjurer, Tho fact that Boochor hag not mado that plea slroady is equiva. lont to & confossion that tho plea cannot Lo made. It is sad to think thot this groat proacher, almost adorod by the American peoplo, has been 80 long but o whitad sopulohre, fair to tho eye but within fu)l of desd mon's bones. Nevertholess, when all is said, it amounts only to this, that tho numbor of honest mon in tho world is diminished by ono. Thore 18 no neod of public or private spasms over so small & dis- covory. — THE DANGER IN MISSISSIPPI, Two political parties oxist in Vickeburg. Therofare the Acting-Govornor of Mississippt calls for United Statos troops! Becrotary Bol- knap's action, in granting tho roquest, sooms hosty. Grant's rofussl to garrison Petersburg, Va., o fow weoks ago, had led us to hopo for bot- tor things, Tho fecling in Vicksburg s said to ba *bittor.” In what city is thoro not bittor volitieal focling on the eve of an importaat eloc- tion ? It is sald that thoe State militia is in opon rovolt agninst tho State Govornment; that it holds all the Btato arms, and has refused to give thom up. The militis may havo tho right to keop tho guns. If not, it is not tho function of the United Btates to intorforo. Tho fact that tho call for nationnl aid has been made, shows how thorouglly roconstruction has doprived tho South of tho idea of local self- government and State sovereignty. Governors run to tho Presidont, likochildren to a father, for proteotion agaiust every ill. Thoy soom to labor under the delusion that our Government in pa- trinrchal in form. This is, howover, natural, Binco troops woro sent to Louisians to putin power men whom tho pooplo hed rejected, why should they not bo sent to Mississippi to put in power porsons dulyelectod? Such logic satisfles the Bouthorn mind, when the bayonets asked for will bo at ita sorvice. But sending those bayu- nets is thoroughly demorulizing, It at onco dostroys all beliof in the fairness of an election, and precipitates tho confliot it is intonded to prevont, Tho trouble in Mississippi is ono of the BIgNS of the threatonod wur between tha races, Tha political parties in that Stato are nominally Re- publican and Opposition, ronlly blzck and white. If thoy come to blowa and tho Stato faiia to sup- proes disorder, then is the time for tho country to intorfero, Until thon, interforoncs can only do horm. Tho true polioy is tor the dominant porty to turn honest. Lot the oppression of the whites censo. Adopt open, oven ostontatious, ‘monsures to seouro fair clections, Do this, and closo tho Vicksburg saloons on Aug. 4, and the day will doubtloss begin aud ond in quiet. Littio Adelbort Amos, Butler's pon-in-law, who used Lin Goneralslup to make himsolf Sonator and hig Sonntorship to make himself Governor, is away fromhis post, T'he rogrot that he should shirl his duty can be lcssened by the reflection that hocould nosdoit if he wero on hand. Tho Govornment of Mississippi etriliugly resembles the turtle doscribed by Buffon, which lived for & long while after its brains wero taken out snd the cavity was filled with cotton, e v, THE LAW REGULATING CORNERS, An {llustration of tho abpurditios of loglala~ tion to regulaté’ commorcial tranuactions is fur- nished by tho present condition of the oat market in this city. Tho last Logislaturs on- acted & Jaw baving for its object tho provention of ‘““cornoers,” making tho penalties very severo, including, if wo mistako not, imprisomnont in thoPonitontiary. The practico nudera * corner" Lia8 boon for one or more Dersona to buy largely of a particular grain, to bo deliverod beforo 3 o'clock p. m. on tho last day of tho current month, and aleo to purchaso with cash all ro- celpts of that grain; in this way, coutrolling the market, thoy fixed the prico at whetever sum thoy plonsed. At the timo wspocified thoy “gottled " with thoso of whom thoy purchased by accopting in liow of tho grain the monoy dif- forence betwesn tho price at whiols thoy bought and that at which tho markot closed on the last day of tho month. ‘I'wo years ago in July, P. R, OChandlor failed whilo running & cornor with oats at 41 cents por bushol, Yestevdny oata sold for vash at GG conts a bushel, whilo onts for dolivery during the month sold at b13¢ cents, and for dolivery after July 81 at 86 cents, In tho sbsenco of the act of tho Leglsluture, this would scem to bo & corner, but, In fact, it is not a corner.

The problem may not yot bo #blved. It is not necessarily ingolublo, for agricultural ingcotology is yot in its infancy. Science has long wince shown that all in- secta have a vory usoful part to play in the creation, They presorvo cortain vogotable and animal specios from attaining o numorleal pro- ponderanco, to tho detriment of others ; ba- sidos which, thoy hasten tho docomponition of deeaying bodies, and thus prevent tho mattor which enters into their composition from re- maining idle too long. It has beon pointed out that largo farming, or covering vory groat tracts of Jand with the same vogotable produot, dis- turbs tho equilibrium of Naturo, which nover intondod that tho wholo earth, or Bny vast oxtent of if, should ba turned over to the production of nothing but potatoes or wheat, It is tho mission of loouats nod other insccts to Intorfers with the viola- tlon of Naturo's law, sa ot prosent catablished, and to root out tho ambitious organism which would catablish a universal monarchy. Large farming, that is, aa said bofore, covering whole countios with tho samo class of vegetation, causes the swarming of insecls. Planting vege- tables of different kinds at intervals over tho samo goil diacournges their propagation and ar- rests tholr progress.

GAGE 8AYS that in the apring of 1865 Lo was the owner of about 1,060 neres of laud on tho enst and north sido of the Dosplaines Rivor, at the junction of the Chicago, Burlington & Quinoy Railrond and tho Barry Point plank-road and theroabouts, boing o part of Riversido. Thia land was bean-~ titully located on bigh ground, snd vory valu- able for romdonce purposes, being only 10 milos from Chicagoand ossily accossiblo, and, ss Gaga thinks, 6f the value of 8300,000. In 1863 e caused to bo surveyed a part of the prem- 18og, for the purpose of subdivision into sub- urban lots, and was ahout projecting a mories of improvoments whon ho becamne acquainted with Emory E. Childs, to whom ho made koown his projeots. Ohilds thought it would be nocossary to spond at least ©500,000 on the proporty, and advised Gage to macad- smizo the ronds and build water and gas works and lay out parks, Ho also ropresonted that ho had friouds who would ralse tho monoy if Gags would sell tho land to him. After some disons- sion GAGE AGREED TO SELY, the land for £300,000 on certain conditions, and 80 agreement was mado July 25, 1863, Chulds was to pay 320,000 casb, 20,000 ‘Oct, 21, 1869, aod the balance as sales of the property should be made, provided that the wholo amount should bo pard by Jan. 1, 1878, Chilua was also to pay 10 per cent on the profits on the malo of the promises, Morcover, to increaso the sccarity, he was to build at least thicty two-story houses, at & cost of not lous than 32,000 enob, on uasold lots, Ha wag aldo to be allowed to scll land aftor tho first §20,000 was paid, and Gago was to make con- Yorancos as fast as sold, ou racoiving payment in sums of not less than 5,000 ut o time, Time wad to bo au eloment of the coutract, and Gagoe was ompowered to sell, if dofanlt was mads (fn the contract for six months. Childs was nlso forbiddon to sell or sssigu the contract without Gago's written coosent. Childs pnid tle $20,000 as agreed,and roceived the cuntract of eale. In August, 1868, Ohilds also purchaged from Bli 8, Proscott about 508 neres of Jand west of tho Desplames River for $40,000, and in Fobruary, 1869, Ku bought soven aores of Stonhen White, all of which bo added to his purclinso from Gage. March 11, 1869, by & special charter, TUE RIVERSIDE IMPROVEMENT COMPANY was formod, with a oapital of 600,000, and Childs as Presidont, and L, W, Murray as Secro~ tary, About two weeks aftar tho Riverside Wa- ter and Gas Works wera incorporated, and Childs also mado President of that. @ With Lim o his scheme wore _ associated Loverett W. Murray, of Chicago, and D. 8, Dun- comb, Austin Steveus, and J. L. Brownoll, of Now York, In April, 1869, Childs excouted to the Com- pany AN ASYIGNMENT OF IIIS CONTRAQTS with Gage, Proscott, and Whito. Childs and his ussociates woro tho holders of tho bulk of the stock in both the Riverside aud Gas and Wator Companies, and controlled their management, “Thia stook Gago says was uaver paid in, or, if any was paid, onli{n nominal amount, although tho combined capltal stock of the two Companios smounted to $1,600,000. A fow nbaros wore issued to promincut citizens of Chicago 80 a8 to malka thom oligible as Diroctors, but not sufeiont to give such partios any intluence in the managomont of the compunies, TIHE IMPROVESBNT COMPANY 3 from timo to time subdivided tho promises snd recorded Lhom iu four divisions, Tho Company immodiatoly. began to make improvemonts on & sealo of great magniliceuce, and exponded o largo amount of mouney, but Gege claimns it was not mado with funds "donved from the sale of stock or bonds, but from the procesds of salos of the promises, and by losus negotiated theroon, These improvomonts woro continued until the spring of 1871, when 85,000 bad boen laid out, and nbout 200 lots sold to varlous parties, Gage, at Childs’ roquest, MEPEATEDLY MADE CONVEYANCES withont insisting on the payment of s propor- tionnte amouut of the purchiaso-money, aud alio gove tho Company doods for about 300 lots in the samo way, for the purposo of enabling tho Company to morigaye them to raisp monvy to nigot its indobtednoss. Gage was also the more willing to allow tho payments to Fq Ly, 18 ho thought this socurity was constantly fuoreasing in value, since tho lots T4 to bo worth 93,000 apioge, and complaimant clnima it would huve been a greut succoss had v not boeu for tho REOKLESS AND FRAUDULENT MANAGEMENT DY OIILDS, Qago snys ho alse discounted Duncomb's notes for the Company to the umount of ©70,000, ana Bromwell's notes to tho smount of 33&,005 bo- lioving thoso mon to bo porfeotly rouponelblo. e nlso indoraed the Improvomont Company's paper to tho smount of about 810,000, which-he was obliged to pay, The Gas and Water Com- pany uevor bad sny eapital or property excopt what wasdonated to itby tho Improvomont Com- pauy, although gan and water works were orected and gas and water pipos lald in Itiveraldo throngh the instramentality of tho Gas an Water Company. Yot the workd woro ereoted ou tho property of tho Improvomont Compauy, and the ‘monoy nocossaty wus furnishod by the Im- provemont Compuny or on jts credit. In July, 1871, the Compauy becsmo GHEATLY EMUAIRASSED for want of fuuds to pay its indobtodnoss, and iras threatoned with lswauits. Clulds accord- iugly motured o plan to lesue 1,000,000 of bouds, to bo secured by the Improvement Com- pany'd property, ‘ho lattor's proporty wos limited “to an {ndebtedness of 600,000, and it was proposod to give ve-cighths of the whole property to the Gas and Wuter Company which was unlinmperod by any such restrictions, sud have it issuo bouds for $1,000,000, whilo the Tmprovemont Company issucd bonds for tha ro- m“lluuq throo-elghtha of the Emparty for $600,~ 000, With the proceeds of the salo of bonds it was expactod to pay all tho judobtednesy includ- ing tho amounts due Gage, Prescott, aud White for purchaso monoy. At this time tho uunold ortion of Gage's proporty waa eatlmatod by him 0 be worth $4,000,000, the Proscott pmvnny 000,000, and tho property of tho Qus and Water Cowpany 2100,000, ‘wnd, if the dobtsot the Compuoy wore paid, & bandsome profit would bo atall lott to tho stuoisholdors, Gago accordingly agread to the fssae of bonds, Ohllda promiving to gve him 600 bonds of thc Improvemont Oowmyparyy, and 200 of the Londs ot tlie Uaq and Watar Cowpuny, all the bouds tu Do sogurai by trust doods to Honry Groonekaum for 81,600,000, Gago tbumupbnq & PREPAIRD A DEED, - but did not acknowledgo it, and gave it to the Company, and trust doeds woro also glven by Childs to Greonchaum, About 903 lotw only wero included in tho trust doods, though Childs assured compluinant he had fncluded all that woro unsold, and Gage ohargos that ho fraudu- lontly omitted 800 lots from thop trust decds. Ohlids went to Now York n 1871 'and mado ar- rangemonts to edll the bonds, but tho fire in Octobor disturbod his arrap, rement, ‘and on & nubsoquont visit ho was not o succonsful, A Inrgo numbar of -the bouds wora aftorwards pledged aa collateral sccurity to Aocure lonns, Tho Compauy’s indobteduoss to QGago was then £460,000 excluslve of the 10 per cont of the profits, Tho doedof tho Improvement Com: any o tho Gas and Wator Comnny of five-oighthy of the property Aaga allogos was WITIoUT consideration, and its trust-doed Is, therofore, equitably tho. trust-deod of the Tmptovomont Company, In March, 1872, the Gas and \Wator Company revouveyod $his property to tho T~ brovemont Company.

Ho ropresantod to Gago that he bad the control of tho charter of the LaSalle & Chicogo Railrond Company, and that ho bad, togother with Dunscomb - and Drownell, organized s Cénstruction Company ta buildauid raiirond by way of Rivoralde, wed thee Lie biad procurad subscriptiona to the amount of 800,000, Childs therufors propossd that Gago #hould nllow his land to be held by Childs and bLis asnooiates ; that thay would chanze the uame of the ratlroad company to that of iho OHIOAGO & GREAT WESTERN Tailroad Company, and would issus its bonds to tho amouat of 8,000,000 ; that thoy would theg convoey all the lands of the lrnrrovemum Com- Dany to & corpdration to bo aalled the Chicago & Great Westorn Railroad Land Company, This Iast nomed company wis to give s traste deed to J.

G.f“ thonght this schomo vory intricato, but waa tinally indaced to go into it, on the promise that he should have ample sccurity in railroad bonds given him. Ho wccordingly turned over tho land and also the notes of Dunscomb aud Brownell which Lo held, Gago claims this whole schemo was A FRAUD to et possossion of tho bonds and the Duns- comb aud Brownell notes, In June, 1873, Childa repredentod ho bad socured for cancellation tha whole firat issue of 1,600 bonds, but complainant avers that some of them were socured by E‘ledglng tho Come pany's laod contrary to t) o agreemont., Clulde showed all the bonda in his possession and n largo number of releases of various dobts, and Unge surrandored the notes and bonds, He now alloges that this surrondor was procured by fraudulent statements, that Childs has not trane, forred to the Laud Company all the Improves ment Company's property, but has allowed ¢ largo part to be used in paymont of private debts of Dunscomb or Browuell, or the settlo meut of the debts of the Riversido Hotol Cor:- pany, and also that the Prescott mortyae has never been paid. The trust-dood tc Jewott, morcover, was uot given tc secure 1,000 ocommon bonds, aun equal footing am regards poayment, but 200 of them wero made proferred and a tirst lion, Jewatt propared a trust-dood as wished, Lut Ohilda lald thia agide and had another mada by Austin Stovans, in which the fraudulont chargo was made. Oue hundred of the proforred bouus woro used in payment of new indebtednoss of 380,000 against tho Riverside Hotel Comnruy held by thio Third National Bank.

Hubbard, Ji., who Lag sinca roconvoyed it. In conclusion, or about the 1256th page, Gage begins TO BUX UP by stating that tho Land Company was only au- thotized to hold such lands as wero necessary to its business, to erect warchouses and carry on a warchouse businoss in Chicago, but that ‘it has novor douo 8o, and hias no authority to talio pou- sossion of the land conveyod to it by the Rivorside Improvemont Company, and the* ouly result of such convoyanco s o cluim on the Improvement Conipsny's land; 769 of the 1,600 Groonebuum bonds are still, it is olaimad, o lion on tho Riverside proporty, and alt the premisos conveyed to the Land Compnny aro still in oquity Bubjeot to the QGreencbaum trust dved, In Dacombor, 1873, Gage asaigned 850 of tho bonds of tho Railroad Company to Georgo Taylor, as Trustee, to socure an indobtodness tc tho City of Chicago, nud ho has since asked Taylor to bocomo & co-complainant, but, thub porson doclining, compluinant makes hin do- foudant, Whereforo David A, Gago asks that all the above-nnmod partica may Lo medo dofendant; tlnt the conveyauco to the Laud Comgpany bo declarod void ; “the Groonebaum trust deods bo declared to be a valid lon; that Jewets bo do- erood to redelivor tho 760 bouds and Brownoll and Dunscomb notes to complainant; that tho hotel property, tho gas and water propnrly, and the maguitlcont rosidencos of Chitds and Murrsy bo doclared to bo in’ equitv the property of tho Improvamont Company; and, lastly, that a Re- coivor bo appointed to talo possession of ali tho Rivorside proporty.
