8 THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1874, CITY AND SUBURBAN NEWS, THE GENERAL DEMORALIZATION. % A POLICEMAN TURNED TURGLAD. "Tho domoralizod and ontragoous eunracter of the prosont pollea force is ngain oxampled by an ‘{ugtance of tho grossest pegloot of duty and alloged crimo on the port of sn ofticer, Thin timo it is Oficor Jobn Moynaban, of tho Tirst Precinot (Armory) Statlon. About ‘4 o'clook yestorday morniug, while Lo was on duty, he loft Liis beat on tho South Side to the meroy of tho thioves and incendiatios, and wont ncross Adams streot bridge, and thenco to No. 80 on that thoroughfnre, & notorious saloon kopt by Smith Ackroyd, and thera gob Limaelf into a gorapo whick will cortainly cost Liim his posltion on tho police forco, If, indoed, it docs nok con- sign him to tho Penitontinry, Ackroyd stntos that ho waa awakened from a sound sloop about 4 o'clock yestordny morning Dy o nolee in bis saloon. e room adjoius tho Intter, and, without walting to dross himself, ho stopped out into tho saloon and ssw Moynahan Jolying himself frocly to the clgara bn n casc on ihecountor, He quickly grabbed the ofiicor, whon tho latter drow & ravolvor, cocked it, and was ahout to fire it at him, o snntclied the woapon from him, and with tho bute ond of it knocked BMoynaban Lo the floor by a heavy blow on the hond. 'The ofticor then attompted to draw his club, but was provonted, and two patrolmen, who 'wera attraoted by tho noiee, ran to tho spot gnd arrosted him. 1o was takon to the Madison Btroot Station sud locked up wntit the arrival of Justice Scully, when he was bailed out under houds of 1,000, and hia examination ot for the 21th jnst. The chargo ngainst bim is thot of ‘burglary, Ackroyd aesorts that Moynalinn was ot drunk, but tho ofticors at Madison sticot Sta- tion say that ho was vory drunk whon arrostod sud brought in, On tho other hand, Moynalian's frionds stato that Ackroyd and a gang of hard oitizens who lounge about his place * putup a job” on him, in ordor to wreal out revengo on tlio police, who havo had occasion to pay froquont visits to Ack- royd's renort on the oceurrence of stabbing and other nffrays. Moynahan sava that he entorod tho back door, which ho found opon, aud was Deset by Ackroyd nud two others, who over- powered him, took his rovolver from bim, beat him, and thon trumped up tho charge of burg- lary snd theft against lim. One thivg is cor- tain, that ne left big beat while in o maudlin Btato, crosscd tho river, and entorad Ackroyd's ealoon, whore ho was fouud by the officer who arrosted him. 1o hns beon before tho Board onca on the charge of maltreating a citizon, but tho cago was dismiesed. He has beon about two enrs on the force, and is quite wolt-to-do, e Znu a wife and family living on Clinton street. TOUSE-BREAKISG AND IOWE-BUFFERING. o the Editor of The Chicaso Tribunc: Bin: At your request for “facts” about the provalent burglaries, I venture to givo the fol- lowing from porsonal knowlodge: In Into Hoptember, my homo on Dolden avonue was on- tored ono night, and the basoment completely ravsacked without knowledge of tho occupanta. A barred door hindered thoir ronching tho upper storice, Two or threo nighta later, about 8 o, m., o second attempt was mado, probably by the samo party, They wera overheard lu cutting tho puity from a pavo of glass. The slarmed in- uatos at once opcned the blinda aud lighted tho gas. A call of **Jobul” was heard, and the maraudors fled, For soveral succoedinyy ights steps wero Gistinetly heard in the rear of tho house as if for o .fresh attempt. DBut he slooplags watchors foiled tho mincronnts. All this_whilo two cbildren wore sick in the distressed Lome, ono in a dying state, and both ginco Inid away 10 tho peaco of tho grave. On reporting tho nbove to the near Eml(ca. they rec- ognized at onco the trio of burglars, whom, not long before, they had arrested for like erimea. They were sontonced to tho County Prison for & #ghort term,” but were relenged before thoir sentonce expired! It wos added, * Wo try to do our duty ; but, when the judicial adwministra. tiou of the cily is what it is now, tho policais powerless over buiglarics and burglars." In early October, the writer of this removed to & now brick lLougs ou Ohio streot, Lut s Block from Clack. Hore, it was thought, we may sleep in ponce and sccurity, Dut a short timo olapsed " when the Iady of the house, sick and feeblo, and in A most_critical condition, was roused, after n sleepless night, ab 3 iu the morniug, by an at- tempted ontry into the bascment directly be- neath where she Iny. Rousing her nurse, tbo latter boldly opened the window, ordering tho misorennts awsy, on which they decampod. But tho alarm proved most disastrous to tho suffer- iuvalid; her life was oudangered for many v8, and sho is still a sufferor. For in such cases it is pot merely the momentary ehock which endangers the llomes of tho sutforing in- valids, but tho senko of belplees insecurity ; tho fearful approbonsion of danger, sll night and every night, which bnnishes sleep, aggravates the nervous scosibility, and fenrfully supplo- ments the pain and exhaustion of the siok-room. How many homes must thus suffer in our widoly extended cityl Alr, Lditor, you know it to have been tho time- honored hoast of English lnw thnt “E\'u?' man's house is his castle,” because Engleh faw and administration profected that house, aud mado Its eacred privacy impregnablo. Is the ruling power of Chicago, in its Municipal Govornment nod administration, sbielding the weak, belpe less, and sufferiug, or are both poople and Goy- ernment at the merey of the brutal outessts of alllands and cities which swarm horo? Havo we & Government ? The worst featuro in our present systomatio burglary is that poue, man or woman, can at- tompt to roeist o burglar but at tho poril of lifo, tho villaing—aa oxperience shows—not hositut- ing to shoot down on the spot, in the dark or in the light, any oue hindering them, I liave per- sonsl_ knowiedgo of an instance in tho Weat Duvision, in which a lady, awakened in the night by an attempt to enter a houso opposite Ler own, bravely opened hor window to drivo sway the burglary, when they dischurged a rovolyer nt lier, - Sho escaped, Lut the Lall lodged in hor Ledroom, TPormit mo to add, as & proof of the prevalenco of burglary, that the houso of u fanyly on tho ‘West Sido, known to me, claim_that their house hias beon attempted not less thou twenty-cight times, as their burglar-plarm bos testified. Aay I add o singlo suggestion. Are not onr city architects iu part respongible for the dail; rovalonco sud incrense of housebreaking Whon busoments sro enproteoted by irou bars on the windows, aud oven basement-duors aro half glaes, could a more ingenious dovico bo frumed to invite midnight plundorors? I Europe all this is better understood, Cuicaao, Nov. 18, 1874, A Burrenen. ANOTIER OASF, To the Editor of The Chicano Tefbune : Smi; In complianco with your request, that all burglaries committed should boe reportod, I will add one to the list. My house, No. 1814 Prairie wvonuo, was cutored by burglars several wooks 1go, and nrticles valued ot about £300 stolon. 1 rcrnrtad 1t to tho polica authorities the morning Iollowing, but nono of the property taken has aen recovered nor tho thief captured.

In tho abeeuco of President Asbton, Commissioner Jouey was choson Chairman pro fom. THE INSANE ABYLUM. o Joint Committes on Public Buildings and Public Charities, baving in chargo the erection of tho wing to the Iusane Asyluwm, reported that they wero uunblo to report who wore the lowest reaponsiblo bidders for tho masonry contract thrown up by J.

Thoy nleo recommend the award of tho contract for carpenter-work to William Goldie, who was originally the lowest bidder for that work specifically, hia propoaal being $16.975. Commissionor Olough thought it not well to award tho carpentry contract while tho brick work was not ot awardod. Commissionor Burdick favored tho award of the cantract to Mr. Goldie. as thi lowest biddor, provided be satisfied tho Board of his ability to completo the work at the price named, Commisgioner Harris moved to throw all bide out, and that the Loard, through tho Joint Com- mitteo, lay the foundation walls, loaving the ro- wmiiniug couttacts to be rondvertised for. Commissioner Lounorgan etated that an ex- ponditure of betwaon #4,600 and #6,000 would Do naceseary ta complota tho foundation walls, Commissioner Crawford inquired if thore was not sama way to hold Garvey's bondsmon re~ eponsiblo for his failure.

Comunigsioner Clough #aid that, undor the cir- cumstnncor, ho ehonld favor the completion of tho foundation by the Joint Committee. Commigeionor Crawford preferred that the Committoo should be authorized to make con- tracts. Commissionor Burdick, in viow of the divorsity of apinion, moved that tho wholo matter sland over until spring. Thie was lost, I'u0 report of the Joint Committee was oon curred in, SALATIES, Tho Board then took up tho special ordoer, tho roport of tho Committco on Public Sorvico, recommending that the Board go iuto Commit- tee of tho Whole and consider the subject of gnlarios of Cook County employes for tho onsu- ing year, 4i‘ua roport wag concurred in, and tho Board went into Commiltco of tho Whole, Commis- sioner Jones in the chair. . Commissfouer Conley inquired whethor it was the duty of this Board, inktead of the new in- coming Board, to fix salorics for the ensuing ear, ¥ County-Attornoy Rouatros stated that such wus the law. Commissioner Burdick called for the last monthly pav-roll of tho County-Clerk's oflice. It was furnished, showing tho amployment of ono clorkc at £2.60 qer day, soven t &3 six at $8.60, and twonty-ive at 4 por duy, bosidos various other clerks who worked at pieco-work, No one seemed ta know who fixed the compenea- tion of theso clorks or sottied the number to bo employed, The unfamiliarity of various membors of the Board with the previous uction of tho Bourd, ns well as with the law portaining to fees aud snla- ries, was shown by frequent demands for infor- mation from the Clerk of the Board and the County Attornoy. = Aftor spending eomo time in this way the Comnmitiao arowe, roported progress, and ssked lenve to it again, The Bonrd adjourned until TFridoy at 2 p. m, — THE GRAND JURY. TIE GAMULERH. The moab casunl obsorver at or about tho Crimiual Court yosterday could not have failod to remark that the facos of tho officials wore an unusually prooccupied oxpression. Of courso it is natural that just now tho Doputy Shoriils, many of thom at any rato, should look yather downosst in view of the docapitation which will probably follow the new Buerill'a accossion to oftice, Dut the anxiety of their coun- tonancos was quite equaled Dby that which font & mow charm to tho Napoloonto features of tho Closk of tho Court and tho interesting faces of his Deputics. Tho ronson of it all was tho fact that at last tho Judye bad areived on the boneh possossing the necessary back-bono to atand up and have o logal tussle with the gamblers of Chicago, and mora especially with the leader of the awindling traternity, 1t must not be supposed that it was any sympathy botwoon these officials and the gomblors which led to this very noticable air of anxlety 3 but, on the contravy, it s sufe to ey that the office of the Olork of the Criminal Court is the last placo to which McDonald or his myrwidons would go for syapathy in the troublo that Is brewing for thom,” From the Judge ou $hie bench in gourt to the otber Judgo off (ho bonch in the Clerk's ofiice thore iv but one focling, npamely, that the .day of rockoning hns anivad, and that this nonth's prococdings in the Uriminal Court will decide forovor the question whother Chloago iy to be ran by gamblors—in tho uegasive. 1t ins boon o long time coming but now that tho dny of doliversnoe had arrived the offfelaly around the county building appreciato its inipor- tanco od aot with becoming serionsnoss, Dur- ing tho past two days tho Grand Jury's timo hias boen almost ontiroly ocotplod with oxaminin witnosses In tho cago of thoPooplo va.
