He was drossed in citizen's clothes, but, even though he did not wear a poticemau'’s uniform, Sho did not like his looks, Sho gays she does not know much about men, but ‘he looked romarkably like a sueak. Tisia snoak sho dreaded, and shunned him as woll as sbe could, As she walked abe looked back. Looking back she porcoived the aforosaid enosk approaching. Becoming alarmed, Miss Ryan now yout upon tho streot and avwatted the car. When the car approached, she attorapted to get on, Jupt then the mysterious man io the tree shadow stopped up and informed her BEY WAS ABREKTED, atowivg bis star. ‘To this ale emphatically ob- jocted, demauding with fright tho cause of the ariest. Being notified that sho was a suspected thiof, Miss Ryan told the officer that she got the shawls at dr.

Tho officor would do no such thing, however, and, notwithetanding her tearful protestations, dragged her through the mud to the station, informiug ber, “I know you, old gal; l'vo spotted you.” On the rond to the station sho fell oncein the mad.

Tho bricf career of this unfor- tunate man in Chicago affords o lesson to that Iatgo class of people who sre forever crowding to this city in tho hope of attaining auddon woslth, Mr. Thomas was formerly a rosidont of Camdev, Carroll County, Ind., where ho was engaged in the banking business. Banting, howover, ia his opinion, was too slow a proceas for tho rvultiplication of monoy, percentage be- fog ama.l and dividends rare. Hence, about threo months ago, he romovedto Chicago end be- gan speculating in grain. He first dealt through the commission firm of George 8. Young & Oo., but. becoming dissutisted with the low profits, transferrod his business to A. M, Wrizht & Co. Here ho met with some lovses, aud, in conse queticn of his not putting up margins, toe firm closed up accounta with him. Ho then went to Lawrenco, Mornil & Co,, but, misfortune still puraulng him, left suon ofter and transactod business through George Craig. On Saturday of laut woek bo found himself short oo 160,000 bushels of corn and 60,000 bushels of wheat, hia lous on tho former being about €4,000 and on ths latter from $2,000 to $3,000, Saturday after noon, in a conversation with ono of the clerks in Goorgo Craig's office, he showed s BINGULAR INCONERENCE in bis language, and an uonaturaloess in bin looks. BSaveral timos bo hinted at a foar that something awful might happen to him. Ho oleo seemed greatly deproesed from his recont logses. Tis actions and 1s words on thls occa- sion created so impression among the employes of the office that bis mind was not sound. Ono of them, with whom he was personally intimate, called upon him at the Tremont House, whero he wos boarding, Saturday eveving, and, per- ceiving that his brain was seriously affected, ad- vined one of tho hotel-clarks to telegraph to Camden for Mrs. Thomas, ‘Lhis waa done, and tho Indy arrived Monday evening, accompanied by use husband's former partner in the bank, E. |.

Dr. MeArthur was quickly summoned, and found that the ball from tho revolver had entered the unfortunate man's abdomen, Although he bus uot yeb succceded in extracting it, he considers that the wound is not occessarily fatal. ‘There iano doubt but that the suicide was at- tompted inamoment of temporary derangemont, owing to the recont losses which Mr. Thomas bas suffered in bis speculations, A strange and mournful feature of the affair iatbat Mr. Thomas, wan yesterday, by a rise in tho prico af lard, rendered long on that article toanoxtont which would have noarly, if not quite, indemuified bim for btu lossoa. —>—.

LOUIS WAUL'S LETIRB, To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune: Cincago, March 16,—We propose to reply to somo portions of Mr. Louis Wabl's letter in your isaue of tho 12th inst, Wa would say it is strango ‘Dr, Wahl did not hear of the movomeut before the 10th, as wo have beon informed by reliablo partios that the Committee callod on tho Board of Heulth, and with a Dr. Miller of that body re- paired to the Board of Pubic Works and loft a note informing Mr. Wabl that a Committeo from the Sixth Ward wished to sco him at the Board of Public Works at 10 o'clock on Saturday the 6th, bathe did not moot them. Thoy sup~ noyad then, ani still suppose, that the reason ho did not met thom was he did not want to sco them on that bneloces, Mr, Wabl thought there would be no hostility to the rebuilding of hin worke, It is strange, if it is justas Mr Wahl says, that there should be any opposition. ‘Wo doubt the sincerity of hia expression, or wo should reach tho conclusion that the Inbabitants of the Sixth Ward would know that it was prof- itable for them to grow in groass bighly per- fumed, But thoy aro of age; ssk thom, aod they will anower for themselves. Ho saya he always wishea to moet his fellov-mon more than half-way. Wo failtosce whore be mects us at all, only inthe way of a dictator, and that, too, indicative of the intoroats of Wahl Bros,, ot the entire exponse of the welfaro of tho people of the Sixth Ward, and particularly of those living in the immediate vicinity of bin works, Ho further says the Board of Hoalth given him oredtt for keoping tho cleanest placo of tho kind in the city, and also Tur ‘ninune roportor in an article written somo time ago roaches tho samo conoluston, But woe, with all dan reapeot to the Board of Health, and aleo ‘Tne Tnraune reporter, diffor with thase gentle- men, ag wo wel! know on such occasional visits thesa placos are not offensive compared with what they generally are; and by tho way tho former gentlemen are exceedingly magnanimons toward these groat deodorizing establishments, while tho little onos are ferreted out with au xertion which would be a credit to them if used in tho suppression of those great nuisances on our public bighway, whero people riding in our etroat-cara must of necossity shield tueir nostrils from the offensive emolls that assail them. But onr Board of Health will not moloxt these gen- tlemon, for reasona best kaown to themecivos, ns they give Messrs Wahl Bros. the oredit of having tho cleanest place in tha city, We sup- pore it Mr. Sherwin spoke, most Hisly ho would tho next cleanest; noxt to him, Mitchol; then Bohoouemaon, noxt Turner, and lastly, a Kittle shed not larger than a good-sized hog-pen, south of Archor avenue, betwoen Main and Farroll streets, which is 8 monstor for ita sizo and ago, fer tt is not quite e year old, Shon!d it lve as long os Mr. Wabl's, namsly eighteen or brant years, it would have knocked the former entirely in tho shade. Mr. Wabi ways wo forgot that thore aro 1,800,000 hoga killed In this city yoarly. Blany of us, howover, know thia to bo « fact, and also know that, in the kilingot that nombor of hoga 4n winter or summor eithor, there would not bo produced as much offensive afluvium aa has emanated from what Mr. Wabl catls his eclentl- feally conducted glue factory in twenty-four ours. He aays, in one part of his letter, that there was not a partiols of trath in the newspaper atatoment which chargoa tis place with being o nuisance, but he admits that his placo part of tho time caused #8 terrible smoll, so wo will let the publio put this and that together, and taka it for what itis worth. Hosays that not onco in nivetecn years have tear been bofora a magistrate or had they been cited bofore the Boura of Hoalth. Wo vonture tho assertion, without foar of contradiction, it was not becauve thero were notthousanda of opportunities, if the peoplo embraced them, which it was their duty to do, bat we think they were a5 patient with them as the Board of Toalth, and surely, that te saying a great deal, and we verily believe Wah! Brothora would not be eo patient with ua if, bys revolue tron of power, we should Lave changed places, As farasour knowledge reaches, there ly no more determination to stop Wab! Brothers’ nui- gance than any and all othors, for we regard them all as good men and neighbors, but wo do pro- teat against the abominable smells they cause tu this partof the city by the business thay con- duct. Mr, Wahl would give us to undoratand ho is running bis business for the interest of Chil. cago, as it brings in hundreds of thousauds of dollars, Now, wo presumo Wahl Brothersaro like tho aalortt of our bucincss men,a tittle selfish, and iftbo business did not pay they wonld not follow it, and why would it uot pay Wabl Bros, whon men can stand all dsy pounding the pith out of rotten horns and similar stinking work for 91,95 por day ? ‘Then in concluslon Mr. Wahl says, 1f we think his property so valuablo for residonoo property, the cheapest, ensiest, and most honorable way, would beto purchaso it of him, In tho first pee wo think it is not avery logical way. ot ne soo how it will work thootber way. Sup- posoeix or a dozen of us owned a great atink pond, and Mr, Wahl wisbed us to abuto the nui- sauce, Wo would asy, ‘Ar, Wall, the caslout and moat honorable way for you wanld ba to purchase it.” Wo think wo can soo kim, borror- Btricken at our impudenco, aa wollhe might. I remember, some three years ago thin coming summer, that our atate'e At- torney gave some of our neighbors to under- stond if wo would furnish evidence to show these places were a nuisance he would have tho propristors indicted betore the Grand Jary, and io thie way puta stop to them, but, whon twelve or fifteep of us went to textify on tho day of the supposed trial, to our great as. tonlubment the attorney for the other side out- flanked and outgenerated Mr, Reed, and most beautifully laid us in the shade for » pariod of time which we hayo not yet reached. In_ conclusion, wo think it's time we should got cid of these atink-factories, one and all, and, as our Board of Health claim they aro powerless of unwilling to grapple with the monster, end our City Council are not disposed to do avythiug to abate the emoke which torments this part of our boloved city, wo have taken tha matter in our own hands, and will do allin our ower to prevent these nuisances regardless of The interests of those by whom they aro con~ ‘Lhe gentlemen of the Common Coun- btu to the financial interests of the city, and, as theses men who oreate such an intolerable ame!l pop on to the city occasion- ally for 50,000 damsges, and gain about one- ducted. fonrth of the amount, I for ona do not wonder these gantlemon have washed thoir bands of the matter, and exclaimer, "* Honcoforth wo will not touch tho unclean thing.” Loogen-on ron Savery YEAns. poset: CHICAGO MEDICAL COLLEGE, SIXTEENTH ANNUAL COMMENCEMENT.
