What a North Side Alderman Thinks of Pewaukee, Plea:ing Incidents of the Trip. The eevere mental strain which the Aldermen of Cliicago have undergone of late in the dis- cussion of such momentous questions as the new Gro ordinance, the nmew Coanty Court-House, eud the closing up of the pretty waiter-girl ea- Joons, did not come without leaving its mark be- uind it. Maoyof tbe city officals who wero deepty interested in the securing for Chicago a suitaolo City-Iall have, since the failure of their project. bsen eubject to fits of melan- choly, and it was chiefly for their beuefit that the Sautary Saperintendent, who was consalted ou their behulf, prescribed a visit to the Oaktou Springs ab . LAKE PEWAUKEE, 28 the sarest and speediest remedy which Iay in thew power. Acting upon Lis suggestion, Ald. Schaffuer and Miner orgamized a party, made arrangements with tbe Chicago, AMlilwaukee & St. Paul Railroad, and fised Wednesday evening at 5 o'clock as the cay aud bour of departure. Ald. Schaffuer, who Lad been there befure, re- galed the hypochondriac Allermen with accounts of the wondertul cuces effccted by using the spring-waters, and it was hoped by mauy of the Aldermeu, that if the Mayor could be indaced to accompany tue excarsiunists, a few bottles of tha water might caure bim to reconsider the veio, aud chauge his mindon the pretty waiter- gial guestion. A PRELININARY NEETING was held in the Cay Cierk's oilice Tuesday efteruvon, al which the necessa:y commit'ecs viuted, tho m st tuposd it of which freshiment Comimittee, consisting of Cry Clerk Forrest, Chairman, and Ald.

Af.er the starticz of the train it way discovered thit the party consisted of ubout a dozeu city officials and au e;qual vumber of such of ilicir Irieuds as hua been favored with an 1n- vitat.on. The traiu bad scarcely leaped from the shade of the Madwsun street via- dact before the excursionists wore called to or- der by Ald. Tom Lailes,who m hus usual relicitous mauticr made a long And teiling speech, in whieh beu-ged uponthe puriy the uceessity of conduct- ing the vienic irom baginnmgz to end in ascord- ance with the parliawestarian rules in vozue in the Cowmon Councii Caamber, a suegestion which was universally approved.

What is the pleas- ure of the meetiug?” Ald. Stout held that tbe voint of order was ot well taken, but the Chair overruled his ob- jcetion, and he retarned the cork. City Clerk Forrest moved that the excursion be duly inaugurated with fittine ceremonies, Ald. Miner snid he belicved in calling things by their righs names. If Mr. Forrest meant by the term *“Titzing ceremonies ” adrink ail round, be was there every time. Mr. Forrest roso to explain. When he said “fitiug ceremonies,” ho did mean what i A'd.

Ald.

Johoston. the proprietor of the depot eating-louse. Rules wero suspended the minute the party left the car, and thers was nothing to Linder full enjovment of the meal, When this was over, the party again filled the car, woich whisked them off to Pewaukes in about au hour. The:o thev were mol by A DELEGATION OF PEWAUKEEANS with 2 stable-tantern, the leadar of whom lit the way to the Oukton Springs Hotel, which was to Le the par. 's resting-place during their sojqurn at Pewauice. In conversation with the man a with tho stablo-lantern, Tue TRIBuNE_ Teporter learned that quite s number of ladies who were stayina at the house were waiting io the parlors -0 give tho Aldermeu & suitable recep- tion. Arrangements had bron made for a dance, and it ouly reqnired the Caicago Aldermen to act ina proper manuer to set such An evening's enjoyment going as had never betore been heard of in Pewankee. The hdtzl was reacaed at about 10 o'clock, and tho ladies were found in the parlors as etated, bat the Allermen and taeir Iriends were bashful, and beld back in the paseage, many of them blushing | ks City Clerks or Cit Treasurers. At last an Alderman came to the rescue. He was a Sixteenth Ward Alderman, and a very ‘etont” one et that. IIe noticed the ~bashfuloess of the *‘boys," and, swaggering into tho frout parlor, flung bimkelf into an easy chair in the middle of the room, cocked his hat to one side, and smiled in turu upon every lady within reach of lus ese. ‘the ladies did not knaw whether to get vexed or to laugh back, ani they looked up for counsel in the mat:er to the gen- tlemen with them. The Alderman who bad shoved bimself into such prominence thought that the frigidity of Lis recep-ion was due to the fact that the ladies required the atiention of the Refieshment Commistee, and 50 bo called out xt the top of his voica: “wA'ER, BRING'S SOME FINE! Half dezea botls wine. sh mo. ladies, bnt Peopi's Party. Come take driok 't Pewaukee, Tope don’trude. Pleasuie gluss wine with vom, ladies. Won' drink? Havo cigar then? Mus® smoe or drink. Thas what yer come to Pewau- kee for.” At this moment the ladies lett the room en masse, and the Alderman accepted an { tvitation to o up-staits and plava game of poker. When'be was gone an attempt whe made to effect a reconciliation between the laties and the Aldermanio party, but the latzer felt oo deep- Iy the false position in which they had been placed, and went off in knots of differont sizes to spend tbe evening in the way thoy thought best. It had been_better for some of them had they remained in the ;)ll'lm’, or at any rate not becu seduced into plaving a game which nwe outof ten Aldermen vowed they * did not understand.” Bat for men who had nevor scen A GAME OF PORER played in their lives before, the Aldermen showed au appetite which was simply astound- ing. One Alderman, who, before he eat down to play, asseverated stoutly that he bardly knew wns able. after three hands had been plaved, to draw twice-running snccessfully to a flush. Tho exhilarating air of Pewaukee Lad its effect upon the parties who F{x‘nt the night at poker and cutthroat., Even tho losers were good-tempered, while those who succeedod in pulling in their opponents’ money were uproarious. There was but one bad-tem- pered man in the party, and he belonged to the Sixleenth Ward. Ho had been emnently lucky at poker (though upon his honor ho had never ecen the game played before) and vet he was not happy. Whether ho feared that his Sixteenth Ward " children will bo uobeppy with their Mahr away from home. or whether he was anuoyed at the exuberance dur- ing the early part of the evening of his political colleague, it were hard to determine, but the fact remaius that the North Side Alderman tore along the dovious paseagesof tho hotel anathomatizing Tewaukee, and eversthing Pewaukeoan, and de. claring that Healy's Slough was & paradise in compatison, Thep, a8 if the hoarse cchoes of bis unmelodious voice were not sufficient to in- snro & night's unrest to those who wanted to sleep, at about 3 1 the morning he hunted up TIE NOTEL GONG, and played xgmn 1t for a quarter of an hour. ‘Wha: final disporition was made of the noisy Alderman nobody reemed to know, but towards 4 o'clock he quieted down, aud by bulf-pest 4 tho house_was agnin, save an occasionsl * I raise Fou 85.” or “Go you 210 better,” in & state of quiesconce, which lasted until about 7 o'clock, when the psaqllo began to get up, and talk of reakfast and the coming duy's fisbing. Bofore breakfaet, the pieat centre of interest was the _refrigerator which contained the Oaktou Bprings water. The numbor of Al- dermen who bad suddenly found faith in the efiicacy of the water 88 & curative agent was quite eurpusing. Suddenly one of the party could remember. that he had bad a rheumatic patn during :he night; acother hnd o fceling of depreesion in the lungs, while oue or two, who had the fiaukness to hint of aching hesds and hot coppers. drenched their throats with tumbler after tumbler of the iced epring water. AT BREARTAST there sat down some twenty-two of the party, and after the meal was over thev entered the steamboat Surprice, which was to take them to their destination at the bead of the lake. Tae morning was a delightful one, The air was clear, coul, and bracing, the wind being an ezsterly oue, which, however, the knowing ones knew to be anything but favorable to fishing. A rather troublesome hitch occurred in appoioting men to the wotk of rowing' the different skitfs. Alder- men of " DIFFERENT NATIONALITIES ot into the thesame bont nnfurtanately, and, as thero was oniy ona rower allowed to each boat, it madeit of course very unpleasant for the Alderman who happened to be of & different natiovality. Thus o weil-known Irish Aldermau declared that it was nnjust and nngeverous to suppcse thac ho wa to be oblized to suffer tho appomtment of a Scandiunvian as his hench- man, while the German Alierman who was in the boat with him vowed :hat unless the boat- man had beforz now pullea au oar in the waters of the Rhine he would get outand returu to Chicago. ‘The reasousbleuess of their demands was at once acknowledged by the rest of the Aldermen, and & meeting was held, st which it was unanimously resolved that the ques- ton of the nationahtv of the rowers was of vital imporrance, and that the overloos- 1he Nortiwest, the reat of & flourishing trage i Lop-poles, and ceutre of & commuvity that ean i it by the munare:s of the excarsion was & 1058 oversight deserving of censure ; that the dea of making an Irish Alderman extend his of tyrauny, and that arrancements should at once be made by whica each member of the party shouid be subplied with & henchman of (he same nationality as himself. This, bowever, was found to be impracticable, and the Alder- men, thongh not without much grumbling, and declanng that such a thing was never bea-d of inthe Council proceedings before, were oblized to consen: to tho orignal appointments made by the managers of the picaic. While the meeting was in Aesuion, President Schafner took occasion to administer A SCATHING REDUKE to the Aldermen of the Sixteenth Ward, who looked very uuhappy, and submitted to the puuishment awarded, which was that neither of them should be allowed to go fishing until the dav following. He aleo requosted the party to adhere in their fishiog to the strictest parlia- mentary rules, and try and make up vy good con- duct for tbe noise of the mght before. THE 8AIL to the west end of the lake was very pleasant in- deed, the brecze and light semi-trausparent clouds tempenng the rays of the sun, The des- tination was reacbed at about 11 o'clock, when she skiffs were eatered, and Ald. Schaff r called the party together in solomn conciave, the eleven skiffs forming a circle round the station- arvsteamboat, from the hurricane deck of which the President addressed s follow-picnickers. He announced to them that they were about to enjoy the finost flshin;; in the world. He urged an utter obhivion of architects, Court-Houre plaus and contracts, fire-ordinances, etc., and boped all would be soon absorbed in the pursuit of the gentle art. Voice from one of the boatmen—" Say, Mister, if yer don’t soon get ter work fishin' yer mimics 1l all die.” Tne President frowred down bis interrupter and proceeded. He wanted to seo the fishing conducted in s proper and becoming manner. PABLIAMENTARY RULES should be sustaiued at pictics as well as in the Council Chamber, and, inasmuch as tuere was mortality amongst the minnows, he would bLe =lad to put a resolution which would enable them to begin fishing. City-Clerk Forrest then moved, seconded by Aid. O'Brien, that the boatmen bo requested to bait and hand :o the Aldermen the various fish- ing lices they had brought with them. Carried. Tho lives beine in readine=s. City-Clerk For- rest moved, reconded by Ald. O'Brier, that the tishets be jermitted to cast their lmes into the water, Carned. After a long five minutes of suspenes, Pres- ident Bchaffuer reported that he had succeeded in hookiag = fish, and would be glad to know the ploasure of the meeting as to what final disposi- tion e should make of it. He did not like to hurry the Aldermen, but, inasmuch as his rod wasve y slight and the fish oviden:ly very stout, he would be glad to hear a resolution authorizing lum 10 drag it from the water. Ald. Lengacher would oppase such a motion strennously. Any man who knew auything about fixhinge knew rthat a fish of anv dacent size should be played for at least ton minuates befora it could be pulied from the water. He would move that the President be instructed to humor Is fish for ten minutes, aud that then the meet- ing decide upon what further aciion should be taken intae matter. Citv-Clerk Forrest, Ald. O'Brien, Clark Lipe. Commissioner of Punlic Works Thompson, each rerorted in_treathlees tonos that thoy had hooised fisn, and requosted the action of the Council in the matter. The President ruled their fisn OUT OF ODDER uFtil the original ono had been safely disposed of. A fierce dobate ensued uron the manner in which the Pres'dent should land his captive, but at last it was decided that e shonld at onco jerk it ont of 1ts element by main force. ‘The President proceeded to do tbis, but die- covered that, in the meantime, his fish bad be- como disgusted with the iardiness of Cuuncil proceodings and had gone off on his own repon- =ibilitv, carrying the winnow with him, It then became apparent that parlinmentary rules bardly anplied to STILL-FIRHING IS PEWAUKEE LAKE, and it was unanimously decided to disregard them i the future. Then, ono bv one, the boats left the s‘esmer, some to tr. 1l for black bass along a rocky shore at the sonch side of the lake, others to atill-fish for pike and picherel among the weeds ; and in an bour tae boats wore to be Eeon as 8o many dots on the lake's placid sarface. Thus ** pleas- autly vazabondizing," the morning passed away, and, when the little stosmer teturued from Pe- waukeo with an el2gant lunch, which was served in the open air on the shote in the vicinity of the Oakton Sprine, there was cot a fisherman who did mnot hail its approach with joy. In_ the afternoon fishing was kept up sedulously, and on the return home 1t was found that the reward of the rarsy's Iabors was 175 pounds of fish of various kiuds, among them being pike, pickorol, black and rock bass, sun-fish, perch, and dog fieh. A RATHER AMUSING INCIDENT occurred in the eveniag, which sho sed the pezu- lar efficscy of the ** silver hooks " in the socur— ing of a zood catch. It has been already stated that Citv-Clerk Forrest and Juige Milligan caught tho lareest haul on the first day, but the sequol to tho story didnot lenk out until the next day. During the evening the Judpe and City-Clerk were recounting to ao sdmiring and rather envious audrence tho incidents connected with the capturo of each of their largest fish, when n small boy entered who *‘wanted to sce Mr. Forrest." ‘**What is it. my child ?" said the City-Clerk, patting the buy on the head in an affectionare ‘manper. * Well,” gaid the boy, **if you're Mr. Forrest, you're chio man as bought those ten pickerel from my father, an’ ne says he don't lH:e the looks of this here bill, an’ wants another ons.” The murder was out, and, though the City- Clerk snd Judge tried to keep the story from gaining carrency, it was too gocd to remain hid under a busbel.” It ia needless to add that these geatlemen did no more fishiog in Pewauies Lake, but took s buggy early the next morping and tried their luck io a differont locality. The fixhing on Friday was bardly as good as that of the previous day, a storm which arose in the afternoon curtailing the day's sport by two or three hours. THE START FOR HOME was effecled at half-past 6 o'clock vesterday morning, the party breaifasting at Milwaukee, where some few of thom stayed over for an hour or two. The city was reached at noon, and, be- fore disembarking, the party came to order and passed tho following RBESOLUTIONS : Rerolned, That the party of city officunls of Chicago tender thelr gratoful thunks to the Milwaukce & St Paul Rallroad Company for tho courtesics thown to them during thelr t:p to Pewaukee, Wie., and return, and that thev cannot too highly vraise tho depor'ment of the conductor, Mr. A. Searle, sn other officiais, and tho uniform excellonce of the truck and the beautiful ecenery this Toad passes throngh. Resolred, That wo likewire extend our thanks to Col, Johnaton, of the Depot Eating-Honce, of Mil- waulkee, for his courteous attention shown, and excel lent mesls furnished to the party. A vote of thanks to Ald. Schaffner and Miner for their successful efforts to insure to every- body in the party his full meed of enjoyment would bave come in very apropos, but no one seemed to Lhink of the propriety of such action. It is but just to state, however, that these gen- tlemen did everything in their power to promote the pleasuro aud comfort of the patty, and to their endeavors much of the success of the ex- cursion was due. SUND;\Y-SCHOOL WORK. Procecdings of the Sunday-School As- sembly a2t Fairpoint, N. Y. Famroixt, N. Y., Aug. 8.—The Sunday-School Assembly growa in numbers and eothusiasm. On Thursday, Bishop Janes lectured on * Svmpa- tby;” H. C. Trumbu'l, on * The Superinten- dent,"” and Mrs. Williog, on “ Temperance.” A concert, under the direction of Philip Phillips, and & displsy of besntiful stersopti- con views, closed the day's proccedings. Many of the leading Bunday-school workers were resent yesterday morning. The Rev. Dr. L. F. ‘'ownsend, the aathor of **Credo, * delivered n lecture oo’ ** The Sunday-School and the Scien- tists.” A repetition of "this lecture has been called for. Joho B. Gough spoke in the after- noon to about 8,000 persons. Dr. C. H. Fowler, of Chicago, lectured in the evening on * Mogcs.” A scvere s:orm passed over the ground at noon, but did no damage. The people are com- h]il in from all soctiovs. T. DeWitt Talmage will preach on Wednesday pext. NEW YORK FAILURE. NEw Yonk, Aug.8.—The dry-goods house of Paton & Co., 341 Broadway, suspended payments to-day. The firm here issued a circular to their creditors explaining that iu consequence of the complete depreasion of buxiness, and owing to circumstances in connection with the dissolution of the partnership hitherto existing, they aro unable to make further payments. The eircalar referred to regrets the necessity, of courss, to which the fum are compdlled to resort, and as- sure the creditors that a statemeat of assets and Liabilities will be made at as early a moment as1t is possible to prepare it. The ontire assets of the firm are pledged :0 their creditors. The ox-. tent to which other houres are invotved will not, itis believed, result in additional disasters. The Mutuals Again Defeat the White Stockings---3 10 2. The American Clubs and Their Games in England, The Turf-=-Aquatic. BASE BALL. ‘WHITE 8TOCKINGS YS. MUTUALS, These two clubs plased the seveutu game of their championsbip sories yesterday afternoon, on the Twenty-third street grounds, in the presence of about 4,000 people, and it resulted in the de- feat of the White Stockings by the c'ose score of 802 ILcannct be denied that the loss of tho game was due wolely to bad errors oo the part of certain members of the home uine, but the fatal misplays were so uulooked for and of such an inexcusable character that, under the circum- stances, they way be setdown as extraordinary. A greater scratch than the Mutuals' victory could not be imagined in a practicalstruggle like that of yesterday, and they themselvos freely ac- kuovwledge that they were as wuch astonished as the White Stochings aud the spectaiors at the unexpected tumn which the game took in the sevonth and eguih invirgs. Before proccoding to ezplain how the game was lost and won, we will state that the pitching on both sides was the most effactive work of the kiud that hus ever been wituessed in this city, and perbiaps in any other. Mathews may have dune better, aurl 80 may Zeltlein, bat’ tne record of base hits and the number of meu who struck ou: would indicate tbat each was st nis best. If the palm of supetiolity were to beawarded to either, Zetilein would be entitled to it, as there were loss safo bits msde off of Lus delivery, and more men situck out oo him. After doing so well, it is wecouraging to him that the game should vo loet through the imbecility of men who are paid Dot only for their practical suili, but 1or the ex- ercige uf a litilo common sense’ in conjunction thorewith. The batting was 80 wea turough- out thit many beloved that the result of the gome ‘had been settled Lefure it was = commenced, but there can be no duubt of the cutite fairness of the contost. It wau tha really scientitic picchung that caused the weak hits, and not a malicious desire to lowo the game. We believe that both nines did their best to win, because their positions as third cr fourth in tho championship list depended upon victory or defeat. Tue umpire was Mr. McLean. and, though tue crowd did not consider him cor- Tect ut titmos, and was not backward in notifving bLim in 8u unmistakable manuer of its opisic 1, bo was nevertheless ctrictly importial n Lis rul- ings,—that ia to say, if o crred st all, bo erred oqually on both sides.

Force aud Mlalone were then Eul out, and Cuthibert ran down 10 second. Al- 800 attempted to 1utercept him, but he threw wi'd, and the runver wenton to third, Mov- erie's tly to Remson was dropped, and Cuthbert scored. The side was then put out. In the Mu- tual balf of the innwg Higham succeeded in making a safo Lit, but he was left by tho succeediug three strikers. In the second iunimng, as in the firat, Allison overturew sud Remson muffed & ly, but no ruus_were made by tae Wlites. On tho Mutua! side, Hatfield struck out, an unusual occarrenco for him; Nelson wenr out from Peters to Glonn, and a foul fly from Bardock's bat was finely ta'ten by Force. Tle third ioning vie ded Rothing but blanks, and the ovly noticeabls featars of tho plav was that Remson snd Carey struck out, taonzh the latter sccured a bade on a jugale of Malove, who was o considerable distance from the bat. The fourth inning developad two whitewashes also, ouly one ball bLeing knocked beyond the infield, aod that was an ensy fly. In the fifth ' ioning Peters ecored an earned run oo ssfe hits by himself, Cuthbert, aud Forco. The Mutuals were put out as fatt as they came to bat, Mathews stniking ont, and tho succeeding two being disposed of by the inficld- ers, Tho game was now moro than half over, and the scoro [avored the White Stoskings, bt the New Yorkers were made a present of n anit in the sixth inning. Meyerle started off with a {air-foul hit to left ficld, and reached second bane on it, where he was left by tha thieo strikers who followed him. Tie visitors then went to bat, and Burdock struck out. Lemson also struck out, but Malone unfortunately jug- gled tho ball. aad the striker got to first in safe- ty. He Btolo second. Carey was put out on a8 foul by DMalone. Higham then Lit to loft. for a base, and, owing to the slow fielding of Cuthbert, Remson was ensbled to get home, and the Mutnals scored their first run, Allison was ficed by Cuthbert. If the inning had been properly played. it would have resu'ted in & whitowash, and Ro son would have been on third. In the seventh inning the Whites were blanked again, tho only flelding error being o misjudged foul fly by Al son. The Mutuals then tied the score by muk- ing & run to which they wero not entitlod. It was secured in the following manner: Start mado a safe hit. Mathews knocked up a fly to Hines, and waa caughtout, but Hines, bya wretched throw. did not take advantage of an oppor:unity to make = good double play, s Start was almost to secoud when tho ball was caught. Hatfield made o safe hiz, and, m attemptmg to 5ot a bade too many ou it, Start was put out at third by a fine play on the part of Force and Po- ters. Nelson reached first on & mui by Poters, Haifield going to third. Burdock’ struck & yrounder to Peters, which was well gathered, bu: wildly thrown. and Hatfield got loms, A muff of 4 foul tip by Malone gave Remson a life, but he was subsequontly put out on a rfoul by tho rame player. The customary blaak grected the Whites in the eighth inaing, though Malone got to first on a dropped fly by Higiam. Hines stoned for thus, howevor, by stnking our, after being given a lifo by Alliton. The Mutuals were then given tho gamo by tho wrotched playing of Force and Glenn. Two men had boon put out,—one uf them on a splendid onc-hand stop and chk throw by Force,—ard it seemed a8 if the Whites were going to saow some per- fect fielding for a while, and pernaps lengthen the gamo ou: to ten or eleven iunings. The next striker (Allison) dispelled the notion. He knocted & hot grounder to Force. The latter muffed nd did not get the ball in_his Lands until Allison was within a few feet of the bace. Then, instead of lettiny take o base on an eiror, he throw tho Lall with all his might, and saveral feet from the baseman. It wen: over to the seats on the west side. and Allison kept on running. A soon as Glenn recovered tho ball, bo throw to Furce to cut off Allison, but with no better success, and the runner kept on to the bLome plate, where he was cordially grected by his joyful companions. Tha nith inning was a whitewash on both rides, and the zame ended 3 to 2 in the Mutnals' favor.

The Special Committee of the City Conncil appointed to revise the fire ordinance of 1872, in conjunction with the regular Committee on TFire and Water, mat at the Citr-Iall yes:erday aftornoon. Ald. Dixon, Heath, Clark, Sidwell, Cleveland, Cullerton, Cameron. Coey, and . B. Bailev, were present. Commissioner Reno, Chief-Marshal Benner. and - President Prindi- ville, of the Board of Public Works, were also present. The meeting was organized by placing Ald. Dixon in the Chair, and appointiog Ald. Culler- ton Secrotary, Ald. Corcoran, Chairman of the Special Committee, being absent. A commvnication was rad from Ald. Stone, who was unable to be present, iu which he stated that be wes in favor of as rabid o fire ordinuuce as could be mado, PRESIDENT PRINDIVILLE . was asked to ma«é suggestions 10 the Committes upou the defects of the fire ordinance of 1372 Iu roplv he made some valuable sugzestions in reference to tho consiruction of basemants to buildiags, and pointed out what he conmderel some of the defects of the old ordinance. He was oppossd to the prowision of the ordinance re yuiring parties intending to move bu.ldings in the fire limits to give notice through the press. He regarded the orovision as entail- i nuecessary expens»,aud recoramended that, 1nstead of advertising, penzonal notice be served on parties owniug property adjucent to tha prop- erty pro~osed to bo occupied. On tha whole he thought that part of the ordinance bearing o1 the moving of buildinga could not be materially improved, anless it was by making it more strict. ‘I'he Chair theo called for the reading of the old ordinance by sections. Ald. Coey moved to amend Sec. 2 to allow the erection of ONE-RTORY BUTLDINOS on streets where there are sewers, and to have all such 1 foot above the grade of the street. Ald. Sidwell said he was in posgession of some recommendations from the Fire Wardens of the city touching_the fire ordiuance, which he was allowed to read, as follow: That all bufldings hereafter buflt in the fire-limits of tne City of Chicugn have walls 38 herein described: That dwellings of ouestory aud basement may ba built with walis Dot less than 8 fnchea thick.

That the cupolas to foundries &hall be carried at least 4 fect above the roof, and that the roofs sur- rounding the cupolas on fonndries, whether tow in nso or Licreafter to be erected, sball be built of non- combustiblo materfal, That all busincss-honses within the city having hatchways, hoistways, cellar opeuings, or othier open- iuga leading from floor to floor, shall have good and snbatautial doors on & level with each flaor, to be closed at 6 o'clock p. m. each - day, or wien not in uctual usa, Several objections weramado to tho recom- mendations, nad their consideration passed over. Ald. Sidyell moved to strike out *ground " and eubstitute ** grade,” in 124th line, See. 2, which was agreed to afcer come debate. On motion, the section was further smended o probibit BAY OR OBIEL WINDOTS, constructed of wood, beiog placed more than 25 fect from the first ficor. - Ald. Cull>rton further moved to amead to pro- bibit woolen cornices on builaings over one story. The amendment was lost, several Alder- meun voting against it for the reason that they did pot care Lo reconstruct the oruamen:ation of their homes. Oon moticn of Aid. Cannoo. o much of the sec- tion a8 refers to the comstructiou of 100fs was strioaen ont. See. 3 was then read, and the clause relating to the STORAGE OF OILS and other inflammable rzoods was dwelt unon. Ald. Dizon wauted to know of Ma-sinl Banuer why the oil stose-bouse which recently burned on Clack street was not arraigned under this section. Benner said be had taken legal advice about the matter before the burmog of the warehouse in question, but after all coald not, or did not, an- swer the Alderman's ques.ion. The section received no further attention, and Scc. 4 was disposed of with equal hurrv. The Committee then adjourned to meet Tues- day at 2 o,clack. —_—— A Zesting Marshal, The stories told of tho celebrated Russian Marebal Suvoroff dis lav better than wh.le pages ot description the wonderfi:! wayin which ae contnived £3 adapt himse.f to the rude spirits with whom ho had to deal, withoct losing one Jot of his authority. ‘What Napolecn was to the French, Suvoroff was to the Russian army,—now jesting wizh o ~oldier, aud no repuking a Goueral ; one day shariog a ration of black bread beside a biv- ooac firo, and the nett speaking as an equal o Princes aud potentates.
