B The Grand Jury have uot coacladad their in" ~vestigation iuto the alloged corruption of certain of the County Commissiouers in connection with tie purchase of a hospital site. It waa expected that thoy would get through yesterday moruing, pod hence s large nambor of persons who &3¢ witnessos in minor cases had been subpenaed fogive their testimony. The ante-room Was crowded all day with these people, who were por- mitted to wajt until ail the witnessos in the bribery case had been examined. The tirst one of these called was Mr. A. C. Hesing, who re- mained in tho presegce of the jury nearly an hour. He told =about )luttha\.u’ com- ing to his offics, and telling A).nm he would * advertise” in the Staals-Zeitung it he ronld use his influence to have the lot Lo sopro- sented purchased by tho Commigeionors. He ‘nothing about any ove being bribed. B oiesionors Clough and Losae wero slso interrogated, but they kuew notiiug sbout the . tranvaction. A few questions were asked them | about the aileged overcharging of Janies Forsyth & Co. for conuty supplios. Commissioner Lonergan was the next witness, but bo did not add muck: to theknowicdze aiready | sseuced by the jury, He asseried that ho wus | fig‘ aware ot .n} of hLis associates being bought, j or of & proposition being made 10 them to secure | their influence in favor of eitber ok, ‘Commissioner Busse could not ealighten tho . jury about anything. : i T o aided the coneideration of the caso for theday. It is said that more wituesses aze to bo sammoned, but who they are no oue outsido ap- ears to know. Evory one who Las been men- Jioned in connection’ with the matter, and all others whose nsmes were incidentally dragged in, bave given their ovidence; yet Ar. Hirch | stated that the exsmipaiion was not over vet, and that it would bo resumed Monday moraing. prreils it PEOPLE’S MARKET FOR CHICAG_Q, i For many mounths past animmense pilo of brick, Telioved somewhat in its movotony by : sundry rectangular quadrilateral adoraments of sami-oxydized iron has been an object of curi- ous conjecture sud contemplativo speculstion among the citizens of tho South Side, in their natutinal and respective transits to aud from the enchanted circle of lome aud | their field of lsbors. This creation of -the brickisyer's art—like many on uncient burgh in the old world indcbted to the son alilo for its birth and its decay—was 1m- | modiately after the preat fire formed into a vast ! emporium of {asbion's vagarios snd induatrs’s creations by a firm of merchant-princes. Fors time the huge stable bucame tho brillisnt resart of besuty and fashion. Daily the elite of society lounged through tho avenues of counters Iosded with tho products of the looma | or all pations. The stately belle listlessly killed ; time by * shopping,* ifling with the moro ; serions aspects of life as she does with her | potty purchases ; tho more caracst working- | is), with flushed countenance and suxious ege, | songht s pattern to servo alike for church or sotree, for the strect or s wodding. i But the same indomitable euergy which called | all this halo of glory to shimmer thronga the | ungainly edifico 25 suddenly oxtinmmished its | radisnca; for, 28 50on a8 Mossrs. Ficld & Leitor opeued their splendid palace of feshion at tho corner of State and Weshington streets, 2 | though the wand of a pantomine fairy bad touched it, the transformation was complete, und the building put on an expression of gloomy moroseness, vylug With tho most dejectod of disappointed politiciane; and cver swce tho building has become 8 subject of conjec- | ture nod speculstion. No one who has but they wero ablo to | - give very ttle definite information sbout 1 + cording to previous sppointment arrangod by : oficer Poterson with the gitl, and that Mrs. | Becse's statement to that effect is false. He {iays be saw the girl on the 16th of August, the avenue, bewwoen Eldridge and Harmou courts. | The gir! then informed bim that SHE WA GOING TO LUATE HOME, © and had been craelly beaien by Ler motber. says he told her thet by would Lisve tothing to He do with the maiter; that it wos none of his | business. He furthor states that he made o arraugement with Poterson for & meeting with | { the girl, and tbat be knew nothing of the con- | vergation beeween her and thit oficer. In com- | pany with Mr. Callsban, cuginecr at Webster's | milinery establishment on Wabssh avenuo, | hosnys e met tue gl and Peterson, Monday | evening, the 20th inat., on Fifth-av., be ! Polk and Taylor streets, in front of his lody: | he girl desired to Ieave her home then, und Jn- | quired if they could diract her to & place whers ! sho could find work. Callshan said that she could probably find employment st the Novads House, on Wabash svenue. noar Madison straot, | and, at the request of Peterson and Gallagher, ACCOMPANIED (ER TO TUE MOTEL above named, whete she found employmont and Femained o fow days. Gallagher has mado o contradictory statement in saying that is was on the 20th inst. he met the girl on Fifth avenuo ; for when sho went to ths Nevada House it was i after she ran away from homelast Tuesday even- ing. ufiua. Roese has statod that the girl's clothes were left ut Mooney's ssloon, ou the coruer of Clark and Harrisoa sticets, by Ryan, who sub- scquantly called for them. ‘Tals is denied by Yesterday Sergts. Connors and Ebersold and ! Officor Jobm Gallagher wore dotailed by Capt. : Buckley to * SEARCH FOR THE WIEREADODTS OF TIIE GIRL, who up to last miduight bad not been found. Tho Jast heard of Ler sho was lodging in & roum | ou the West Side, but » diligent searca failed to reveal bor abode. Statements aro made by polica officers that sho 1s a lewd and wild girl. Sho is but 123§ years old, large for bor age, and | has a Landsonie faco aud figure. Tt 15 justice to Olficer McNanghton to_state that thas far Lo hay not besn implicated in the affair, as bas beon intimated. TILE POLICE NOARD Leve appointed uext Monday efternoon 28 the time for invostigativg the maucr, and, unless the girl is foundin the weuntime, her where- abouts may theu Lo discovered. 3r.

Patrolman John Gallagher is the oilicer counected with the affur. i — AN OLD INHABITAZT RESURRECTED Among the housca destroyed by the lire of July 14 was one on the norshwost coruer of Tay- lor aud State streets, the property of Mr. Colla, the Italian Consul. A few days ago this gentlo- man began the work of rebuilding, and eater- day, while ono of the contractors was making somo excavations in the little yard in the rear of the site of the old house, tho workmen, much to | their astonishment, camo across s tombstoue, beneath which lay o fow bones, which, however, owng to the thougbtlossness of the men, woro lost. Tho tombstose, which is of marble, has on it tho followiny inecripti Tho resurrection of this relic of other days . caused cousiderable eusation among the men, | nad has as yot met with no satiafactory explana~ | tion. Had it not been for the bones, it might ave been supposed that in tbe early-days of Chicago some stono-cutter had his yard on thus particular spot. but, iussmuch ns the person swhose name is carved ou the stone probably slept under it until disturbed by the aforesaid cellar- diggers, it is mora likely that e was actually butied in his own back-vard, st s time day following St. Mary's picnic, on Micbigan . yode in auy of the cars going a8 far: in tne history of Chicago when the corner of south as Twenty-sccond street, on State, | Taylor and Stite strecta was outsido the bounds csu have failed to have besrd the question pro- i of givilization. pounded time and again, “ What Will they do ' gatsin the city, they will probably avail them- withit? What is it fit for?” And when the | gelves of this opportunity to securs & rather sin- If there are any of his descond- ¢ cars have not been too crowded for conversation | —when the pussengars bave not been compelied | to ctand wpon cach other's toes, and hold therr ! bresth in fear of crushing ribs—the propositions | smade for utilizing the edifice have boen bosh * funny aod suggestive. One suggested thst it | could be turned into good and protitablo use for | organizing a bootblack brigade. Another geo- | tleman, who had visited the Employment Buresu | oa Fifth svonue, and ecen the number of houso- loss and destituto strangers inquiring there of Ar. | Hitcheock for employment or shelter, thought it ‘aa just tho thing for a “strangers' home ™ and * easusl ward."” But the proprietors of tho edifice havo at tength put an end to all enrmise and conjecture, sand, in 80 doing, bave shown that they were, in speculative cnterprise, suporior to_public opiu- ion. They have determined the future status of tho big brick barn, and for that decision they de- Berve the thanks of tho whole commanity, cspe- cially the ertisans and lsboring classes. ~Ameri- can cities generally sre not remarkable for large, commodious, clean, and comfortable public war- | kets, and Chicagois perhaps more deficiont in | them than any other city of importance and | population. In Now York thero is but oue | market worthy of the name, and that financially is a great failure. 'True, there aro Fulton and Washiogton Markets, which are crowded to suf- focation on Snturdays, but these are mere sheds, without regularity or _orgauization, without cleanliness or order. The Manbattan Market haa jts splendid arca slmost deserted, for two all safficint reosons,—its incouvenieat location, and the swindling practices which were aliowed t0 ba exercised there in short weights and vend- iug nawholesome food. In Chicago wo have no markets except half-decayed sbanties kept by butchers and green-grocers, which ofton give ot the odors of & garbage-hesp, from the stalc ~7egetables and semi-putrid animal products thero | stored. Tor somo weeks past the old store of Field & Leiter has been undergoing extensive alterations 10 St it up to ill ane of the few desiderata of tho | city,—a poople’s market, where cleaniiness and | fair-dealing may be rolied on; where wholesomo | ond Ron-poisonous provisions may bo purchesed, and where “shoppiug,” instesd of being & fa- | siguing, sievish drudgery, will bo s pleasurablo | recreation. That the now undertaling will not | ban failure, liko the Manhattan Market of Now | York, on account of position, is obvious, for it | would scarceiy be possible to think of a locality | on the South Side more desirablo for the purpose. “You &ee, sir," said su intelligent woman, * we i can take the cars at our very doors and ndedown, | wet or fine, to the market, buy all we want with- out onco quitting the building, and then be again | conveyed with our heavy baskets back to home— | there will be no necessity to drag our cambrous | loads from store to storo for whole blocks in search of what we want."” are making in the s whilom stable, its socond transformation will and bo is 10 be dono to render it cool, fresh, briglit, and attractive, and its canitary arrangements will be most eflcctual. The rulos snd by-laws will guar- auted that bere, at least, tho purchaser way bo ichons fear of imposition.

Dishonost dealors who sell short Jeight, or dispense unwholesome provis- ious, will on detection, be excluded from the ‘marlot, and their right in the siock which shey Leld forfoited. A complote code of most cxcellent regulations will be rigorously en- forcod, the projectors of this scheme not being men who do tuings by halyos. The peopla’s mar- ket of Chicago will not be opened by a Royal proceseion, and titles of rank will not be con- Terred upou its projectors as was the case whon tha: large-hoaried woman, Lady Burdett Coutts, 53y to London !

The fact 18, the improvement is progressiog as rapidly a3 the roquirements of the law will per- mit. At the April Term, 1874, of the Superior Conrt, , judgment was renderod sgaiust tho city for tho amount of damages awarded by tho jury to whom the question of compensation for prop- erty taken or damsged by means of the improve- ment was submitted, eggregezing over $1,100, 000, aud at tho samo or tho next ousuing term of Court, Messrs. Dailey, Bonze, and Culver were nppointed wmission, by Judze Jame- &0, to mako - . asscssment for benefita by reason of tho improvemey: i now at work, and I was informed by ono of the Commissioncrs within tho lest fortnight taat they would havo thelr report ready to pro- gent to the Court for confirmetion st tho next ¢ December Torm. 1t tho report of this Commission shall be con- firmed, the only remarniag thiug to be then done will be £o coilect tho assessment of benefits, and . pay the monoy over to the parties whosa prop- erty is taken or damaged.

The difiiculties in the Firo Department, which have for the past two months been apparent to almose everybody, vesterday sssumed & tangiblo form during tho meoting of the Fire sud Water Comuctoe in tue Muyor's oftice. Tho Fire Com- nirsivsers sud the Fus-Marehal wers invited in to congult with the Committse, sud Mayor Col- vin took advautage of the occasion by stating, to tho best of bis ability, the reason why, sfter fittcon years of trial, the city is not able to tell’ which jiro-engine i§ tho best. Tue questions put by bim to Commissioner Shoridan and Mar- ehal Beunor were so direct to tho poiat in ques- tion thatin a short time the argumont became quite violent. Mr. Sheridan esserted tbat in every trial of fire-ougines tbe rotary had pump- piston-cogino. The Mayor baving asked Ma.shal Bouner for his opinion, that gentleman statod that ho considered the ‘piston-engine the supe- ricr one, and that ke was upheld in bis opinion by the whole Fire-Dopartmout. The prejudice agaiust the rotaries mises from tho deisy of those engines in gotting up steaz. At this juncture, Ald. Cullerton inquired of Commissioner Sheridan if, in every trial, & new rotary had competed with an old The Asyor stated that ho had asked Gen. MeArthur which engine he. consid- ored the best, and that that geutleman had told him that both Mr. Carlisle Mason and he would ot hesitaze in pronouncing the piston-engine to be the best. Commiseioner Sheridan is willing Lo prove that the rutaries cost iess in re- pairs than aoy other engine, but this the Fire- Marshel 18 unwilling to = sllow. Shendan also asserts thot in his beliof there is ot presont_an agont of Amoskeag engines ia the Fire-Department working for the interesta of that engine. The Mayor demauds that n test- #rial of at feasiten hours inlength shall be made, and uays that ho is satistiod that thers is some- thing mysterious belind this engine question, and it it is in his power to find out wha it is he certuinly will doit. The gentlomen soparated aftera long salk, in anything but the best of hamor. e GENERAL NEWS.
