LOCAL MISCELLANY THE HALSTED STRELT VIADUCT. Yor some days past rumors have beon in cir- culation of alleged fatal defeots in the buildiog of the viaduct nt the interacotion of Halstod and ‘Wost Kinzie straots. Theso rumors booame so frequont, and tha charges were so gravoly made, that yesterdny afternoon a 'TBIBUNE roporter was detallod to ascertnin tho facts in the promisos. Tho bridge, from the termination of the ap- prosches s built jolntly by the Columbus, Chicago & Indlava Coutral, Milwaukeo & St. Paul, and Chioago & Northwestern Railways. The work is bolog dono by Bolon James & Co., of Milwoulkae. The geooral officen of the Northiostorn Rail- rond wern flrst visited, and the Chiof Engincer found absont from the city. In reply to quos- tions addrossed to Mr. R. E. Farnbam, an As- alstant Enginoor, ' TIE YOLLOWING STATEMENTS weso elicited: Ho hnd nover mado a oritical ox- amination of the work; ho had honrd rumors of its insecure condition through communications in tho pross. Daring a hasty glance at tho work, hohad noticed sovoral small cracks in the ma- sonry, bat did not_hesltato an iustant in saylng ho bolioved no sorious dofects oxisted. TIE NEXT VIRIT waa to tha soat of war, tho viaduct itself. The east side of the stroot wall lending to the north appronch {s cracked in threo places. Ono of theso cracks commetices at & point abont 12 foot north of the bridge nbutment, and runs d.luzunllly across the wall from top to bottom. This erack varies in width from 5 to 1§ of aninch. The othor two cracks aro £carcely precoptible, On the south side of tho north abutmont nro some half dozen woll dofined oracks, but nolhhlfi‘ that would seem to sifect tho atrongth of tho work. On tho mide-wail spoken_of first, tha wall ia evidently springing outward from b to7 inches. Tho west wail of tho north approsch is Lmn‘cnxly solid aud intact. On tho north wall of tho Carroll strect approach, ot & placa whero a joint occurs, there ars ono or Ewo cracks otending from top to bottom of tha wall, which is slightly aprung. Tho north faco of ‘tho south eabutment is froe from defect. On tho east wnll of the sonth »ppronch ou Halstod atroot, thore aro several wgly-looking cracks. Tho largest of theso com= moncos at a point about 10 feet back of tho abut- ment, aud runs diagonally across the face of the wall to tho foot of tho abutment. 'This erack varies 1n width from }4 to 3§ of an inok. It hos boen in this condition for nearly four weoks, with no pervoptiole oxtornal chnuge in its ap- pearauce. This wall also bore the appenrance of boing badly sprung, but it was aftorwards #aid that the curve was mado purposely to avoid moking a “shelf,” which would have beon nac- essary to bring the profilo of tho wall up to tho plan; that tho wall had been mado too wido at first, und tho sholf wau thus mado necessnry. Tosdes tho Iargo crack in this wall first men- tloned, there are some four or five lesser oves, but nono that looked partioularly dangorous. M. JOUN NOLLAND, who is foreman of tho bridge work, assisted in this investigation. He said ho behoved tho sbatmonts wero porfectly eafo, and #s soon nu tho weight of tho bridge becamo sottled upon thon there would not be oven a shadow of intio- cunty. In rogard to tho other defects, Mr. Hol land " spole of them aw Da{l):{’dnnqnlouu, aud that most any man would call it bad work. They might staud twenty yoars, and might all in five doya. Tba rpringing of tho walls' ho thinks is caugod by filling i, setthng of the foundations, and inadequato thicknoss of the walls, com- bined. Ho also oxpressed sn nuwillingness to apoak slightiogly of any other man's worlk, but thouglit it showed plainty enough for itdelf, ‘Aftor this oxamination, a visit was poid t0 GEORGE W. WILSOX, 1 the Buporintondont of the Board of Public Works. * Mr. Wilson laughed ot tho idon of any of the work beiug unsafe, and finally invited tho reporter to ride over to the work and ro-cxamine it Tho cracking of the wall on the southecast zorner, Mr. Wilson says, is caused by the sottling of tho nhutment, and on tho northeast corner by the nso of wuter in soitling the dirt. 1o also raid this cracking was nothing unusual, nod had never beon followed by any scricus results in all of the stonu work on bridges bo had seen in Chicago. Ho sald ho would have beon much better pleased if thess cracks had not occurred, but exprossed n most fervont wish that his lifo might continne as long as {bore walls should stand. He would cail the work a firut-closs job for rub- hlo-work, Dimension-work would "have beon much better, but was too expoasive. Mr. Wil- son was hero usked by tho reporter if the job 1vas as good a ono of ity class an could have been done, 1o which he replied that it would ho eny- ing too much to assert that, but he considered the work firat-class. All tho masonry, ho enid, had been inspected by Benjamin Butier, an old mason of established reputation, and no fault found, Ho hoped thoe nowspapers wonld not eprend tho mpo{"t that 1t was at sll ungafe. This lorad tho oxamination. ‘The visduct wiil be completed about tho last of next weor for tho pussngo of teams aud cars, and this will bo the first weight brought to bear on the approaches, TITE CORTRAOT for the masonry work wes lot to Mr. W. F. Hildreth, brother of a member of the City Couun- cil, at the rato of 814.05 per cord. Tho entire work contains something over 1,900 cords, nnd the entire coutract nmounted to about 30,000, ‘The work was, under the terms of the eontract, {0 havo been complated in sixty days, and o good denlof it was *rushod " through. The contract prios is said to bo low for good work, Tho Mr. Butler who inepected tho work also had chergo of 1t during constraction, Thesa are the facts just as ascertainad, and tho resdors of Tnr Tuinusk oro loft to form thelr own conclusions as to the security or jn- seeurity of tho work, ———— THE OITY INCORPORATION BILL, At the niceting of the Citizons® Associstion yostorday tho Hon. Josoph Medill was in attoad- ance, by request of the lixecutive Committeo. The matter of tho Gonerat Municipal law, paesod in the Legislature two years ago, was taken up and discussed. Mr. Medill was asked his opinion relative to that law, and was requesied to stato whother there wero any amendments to the ecme which ko would like to suggest. ? Mr. Modill repliod that tho best possible thig to do would be to, first of ull, have the law adopted, after which amendmonts would bo proper. The mode of proceduro would be to have 10,000 or 8,000 citizons patition tho Common Council to huvo the new lw subrnitted to the people at tho next wmubicipal olection, or at somo special timo, for adoption or rejection, Thero weso many thiugsin the new Jaw whioh wero very desirable,—the respportionment of the wards, for examplo, Somo wards wero about fonr timea' as largo &g others, nud it was hardly fair that a population of 9,000 should claim the smme repregentation in tho Common Council that o ward containing 40,000 or 50,000 poople was allowed. o thought that would be ono of tho chief reformn needed,—the wards should bo remodeled &0 na to mako thair population ns nesrly oqual as possi- ble. Thers wera somoe amendments which he would submit aftor a little time. ‘The Exccutive Comumittee usanimously adopt- ¢d tho following Resolced, That the proper proceadings be forthwitl taken to pifect tha incorporation of the City of Chleago under the General Incorporation act, and that af, T ileys L.

Mo oaid that evory roligion tondod toward corruption, and traced the history of Zoroasterism and Judaism, Christinnity revolutionized tha ethical idea of tho timo of its origin, and placed religion above tho power of tho Btate, and, bolng spiritunl instead of coremonial, taught men to bo inue stead of to do. Tho neccessity of a human mediatorship oarly oropt into the Chureh, which at Iast culminated in the Papacy. Ho traced tho origin and sproad of Paganism in tho OChristian Church, and 1t wes seon in tho Gnostic heresy of tho socond conturs, Tho alli- anco of Christianity with tho Hellenle doctrines, espocinlly at Alexandria, was referred to, which attompted to ragoncilo Christisnity with philoso- phy, or faith with reason. The'rosuls becama ditforont from tho sim, and philosophy becamo mistress in_ tho strife oI opinion, aud many Pa- gan philosaphio olemonts becomo incorporated with the Christian syatom. Heatlion ceromonios without number wers introduced mto Christian worship, o8 it was claimed that tho poo- pla wero too ignorant to receive veligions teaching oxcept throngh tho sonses. ‘When Conatentine saw that Christianity was the ouly indistructible religion, and the only bond that wonld Lold the Emplre togother that was folling to pieces, ho received the system ‘in ordor that e might becomo the head of tho Emn- yire, sud rnlo over tho hearts of Lis subjects. “The 1nethods that wero used to rid Christianity of theso ovils wero of two forms,—one outside of tho Church and tho other within its own fold,— but us tho namo *heralic” followed thoss who seomingly wrought agaivstithe Church from with- out, it rewained that roform must begin without, if st ull. These reforms were Lnown ns **schignia.” The Donatist doctrino was an at- tempt to curo one ovil by the substitution of another. Tho (riumph of the froodom of con- scienco which wo eujoyed to-duy was tho result of tho persistont nction of this body, that finally porished, and separatod utterly from the Chria- tiau Church. ‘Tho mysticism of tho Aliddle Ages was the next attempt at reform, and was the forerunnor of the great Reforncution of tho sixteenth con- tury. John Wyeliffo and Joan Fuss were tho saceonsora of tho miystics, and they gave tho Gonpel fo tho peopls in tho voruacular. The reforming Councits of Piun, Copstance, and Dasto, ehowed that the idea was prowivent in tho Church chat jmmediate roform was tho necoasary romody, With disbolical cunning, the Topes sncceedod in thoir utrifo against Councils, and futuro reformution within the Church hee came iwpourible. Every concelvable erimo be- camo fucaruato in the person of the successor of 5t, Potor, and reform became necessary, and Martin Luther discovered that peace with Giod Dbecame possiblo, not with the goou works of the Church, but with faith in Christ only. Tho leformed Lpiscopal Ciurch recolved do- sorved cousideration, and was shown to be n re- form in tho Protoutant Episcopal Churcs of to- duy. This Initer body, lia showed, was becom- ing yoarly more contralized in itw power, the Bisliops continually grasping suthority aud tak- ing it away from tho Church, not without romone strance, which proved unavailing.
