Mr. Bush, in sup- port of his motion. read bis own aflidarit. setting out that prior to the tnal and verdict bo bad no knowledge respecting the jury, or that they were other than of good chaiacter and well informed. cuarge of the jury, however, the plaintiff states ho was informed that the trial had nor been far- jy conducted. but had been influenced and co troiled by malpractice in the selection and sum- moning of tke jury, the procuring of wituexees, and the manner of their testifymg. Mr. Bush ie, however, unsble to tell who has been the couse of all this. In hope of finding out something, he applied to J. J. ear- ney, a bailiff, who kept the jury tickets and drew the jury, requesting him to bo allowed tocxamine the jurs-tickets. He was in- formed that the tickets had been torn up aod destroyed. Bueh then went to the office of tho jurors on the tirstday of tho term. ‘Tie resi- ‘debccs of the jurors were not civen, nor was any seal of the Court attached. ‘Iho indefatigable Jaintif then went to the County Clerk’s office, ‘where be examined the jary-list for the year 1875.

Ho was also sur- od tbat the defendants could find wit- wes who thought his reputation bad. Oneof chose witnesses, plaintiff eays.fias been indicted severe! times, another 18 under indictment for perjury, and & durd bas been discharged from the police force for misconduct. All these cir- cumatencea covsidered, Air. Bush thinks he ought to have a new trial. ce Judgo Rogers, however, failed to see it in that ligt, and denied tho motion, remarking that he ‘did not think sutlicient grounds had been chows. It was uot actionablo to call him the most ignorant Inwyer at the Bar, when tho Bar was eo high. Nor could excoption be taken on the grouad of surpriso at the evi- denco against his moral character. The Court was surprised at the number of witnesses who had testified agaiuet the plaiutitf. and had al- ways personally reearded him as of good reputa- tion. An exception wes taken to the Judge's decision, and an appeal asked and allowed under a bond for $259. —_—_— . WABASH AVENUE. RUGWING TULOUGH THE TRACE. ‘Those residents on Wabash avenuo who have been very naturally reviling the Chicago City Railway Company for its neglect to ley a track on Wabash avenuo after the Common Council bad authorized it 60 to do, should have been abundantly satisfied by the sctivity displayed by the aforesaid corporation lest ovening ; and, ia fact, all night.

The men worked four abreast at this work, cutting up the monziel soil toa width of about 13 feet. The first gang was followed by a detachment with shovels, who removed all the debris and laid bare the beards for the third gang, who lsid the stringers or bed-plates for the rails, and af- terwards the rails themeelves. ‘The fight for the work wes furvished by four calcium-lanterns, woved forward og the nature of the work demanded.

A reef gang will come on some time this forenoon, and the whole job ought to be completed this evening if the work ig continued without intermission. About 700 men are employed in the work, counting all thowo engaged, aud. beside tho men some dozen teams were used in hauling timber and iron to the busy scene, It is the intention of the Company to put on the line, a8 soonges completed, a special lut of cars, which will for the prosent ran to ‘Twenty-second street. In time the line will ex- tend further south on Wabash. Tho rumor that the Indiana avenue cars were to be used on this line is not well founded. ‘The company holding tho franchise for s track on Wabash avenno have been for some time engaged in pottering aiong by night and day work, but ‘bad not, up to resterday, accomplished. much except to put in the switch from Madieon street into the main State street track, aud to complete the line ao far south as Congress etreet, Tho present work will ineuce the completion of the line aud probably tne running of the cars within a few day —-— THE QUO WARRANTO. THE MOTION TO STRIKE OUT TWO PLEAS, The quo warrsato case of the Citwens’ Asso- ciation against the City of Chicago, on motion to strike out two of the pless to the information, came up in the Criminal Court yoaterday morn- ing. 2m, PENCE opened the case by reading the pleas filed by the city, aud thesubsequent motion of tho Citizens’ Association 10 strike out two of the three, made several daysago. He then proceoded to cito authorities in favor of the motion to strike out, and to ehov that tho burden of proof rested upon the defendants, aud that they were com- pelicd to answer the information in one plea. it was not enough that tho information ebould bo denied. since the right to file said information had beeneettled. ‘i w. c. oupy replied. He eaid it nould be well to decide the nature of the proceedings. aud then proceeded to read he information. He maintained that the informadion simply alleged chat the City of Chi- cago Was exeressing certain franchiscs and func- tins under the act of 1872, It was conceded by the information that Chicago was s municipal corporstion, and, taking that as a fact, the city was net required to produce the warraut under which it was exercising the functions set forth After the dix | Clerk of the Circuit Court aud examined the j ongital summoua, which was served ou all tho j feared a threatened injunction st the petition of | | YOUr exercise of it.” " THE covet 7 said he would take the case under advirement, | Thuredsy morning at 9 o'clock.

WAS HE PROPERTY On NOT? Less tau a year ago the name of Patrick F. DriscoN was prominent in counection with the office of Sheriff of Cook County. He had an ambition to cultivate relations with the grates and bars at that time, which the uncertainties of politics ordrined that he could not immedistely enjoy. His industry, however, was not without reward, for it appears that Fri- day of last week ho was arrested and given over to the care of the Sherif, all of which would have been known to the public at the time but for the sympathy of tie jail crowd, who pur- yozely subpreysed the information. Yesterday, however, the arrest and its cause loaked out be- fore Judyo Wallace in the County Court. Driscoll, it appears, 15 uot without bis embar- rassmnents, Hnaucial as well as political.

Following the judg- ments, in the natural course of affairs, came ex- ecutions. To theso dir. Driscoll reponded that he hsd no property, aud that to him they hed no significance. “Then the plaiutiffs in the mater rushed to Court and filed an affidavit to the effect that Driscoll was possessed of sundry wealth, consisting of a lumber yard in this city, $21,000 in collateral accounts, 600 acres of land in Wisconsin, 8,000 acres in Kansas, and a partner- ship mterest with Keogh & Driscoll in Wiscon- fin, the same intercet in the trm of Cash & Driscoll-in Chicago, and an interest in the liquor house No. 222 Clark street, beside a respectable deposit in the City National and the State Say- ings Bank; and that be had in tho last two years FRAUDULENTLY CONVEYED SAID PROPERTY to a brother or brothers with a view to effecting & compromise with his creditors.

The morning session was poorly attended, and very little was said ordene, ‘The feature of the afternoon waa a apeech by Chauncey Barnes, who calls himself “The Prophett,"* having more regard for sound thau for othography when writing his card. Chauncey neid that Jesus was, after all, only a human being, and no more divine than be (Marnes) was.

John Gage, of Vineland, related short stories spd held to the belief that the body was but amask which pre- yented the spirit from seeing matters even as the immortals saw them. The remainder of the afternoon was devoted to s collection, which resulted in netting about $14. Dr. Howard, the Chairman, stated that ua- Jess the meoting bore the expense it would have to be borne by Mr. Wileon, who appeared to ba the moneyed man of the concern. In the ‘evening, Mr. J. Hodge, of Massacha- setts, the samo who saw his mother's ghost on the coast of South Americs, delivered long- bar ees harangue, in which he argued that he and the Devil were very good friends. In fact, Mr. Hodge esid, only for tae Devil mankind would never have amounted to snyshing. Man would have been an snimal, and nothing more. He characterized as being cowardly in the extreme the conduct of persons who laid all their sing at the devil’s door, where- a8 that much-abueed 2nd misrepresented indi- vidual | bad enongh to do to take care of himeelf.

Mr. Prindiville, President of the Board of Public Works, yesterday returned from a week's trip to Wasbiuston, New York, Philadelphia, and Pittsburg, whither he went to witness the marked improvements of asohalt over the al- most worthless wooden pavementa that aro con~ tinually Jatd down in this city. Tho block pave- meat he finds is everywhere falling into disuso, especially that composod of common pine blocks, such as are used here. In Philadolpbia he saw @ pavement composed of red cedar blocks that was quite darable, though rather expensive. In the game city ho gai some workmen attempt to break up some yulcuuite pavement in ‘one of the parks foa the purpose of making a roadway into the Centennial: Buildings. They worked for several hours with pick-ax aud shovel, aud then gave up in disgust, Finaily it was pried ‘up with crowbars, and then broken with sledzo- hammers, And yet it was but six iches thick. Ho eecurod a pioce of it about » foot square, and wili have it ou exhibition in a day or two. In the same city, as well as in New York, be saw asphalt pavements that wero laid five years ago, but appeared almost aa good as if they had never been traveled upouy 3 In Pittsburg, tong Highland ‘avenue, he saw an aspbait pavement . thst has been in use several yoars, and ia yet in the best condition, although along this street passes the boaviest of travel. Springlese trucks, burdened down with from five to eight tons of coal or pig-irop, aro continually passing over it, But in Washington ne says he found the most woudorful avd best improved city he has ever seen. He tatked with Sbopherd, and got a very good opinion of the man from’ their conyerss- on. ‘he miles upon miles of pavement are a moaument of fame to the man who superin~ tended their construction. The asphalt pave- ment laid in Washington under the Shepherd regime consisted of 1 foot of | macaaam, the interstices tilled up with coal tar, then 4 iwches of coarse gravel and asphalt, fiaished with a 2inch coat of fine gravel, asphalt, and conltar. A pressure of 100, 200, 300, 1,000, 2,000, and 7,000-pound rollers was then passed over it in succession. Pavements prepared in this manner cost but $4.60 per square yard against $1.25 for the poor wooden pavements formerly in use. Ii neither cracks nor rots, nor ia it even slightly affected by frost. If Commuis- sioner Prindiville hay his way sbout it the wood- en pavements of Chicago are at an ond. pears Nie, THE COUNTY BUILDINGS.

Such a building a8 ho desires would cost about $18,000. ‘Tue house is designed to be co-opa- rative and for the benefit of students, many of whom are unable to pay the present prices’ for board. Tho project was laid before the Board some time sgo, sud does not seem to have mat mach favor. Cortain members of certain committees of the County Board have beco in the habit, of late, of acting for their resnectiva committees in em- Ploying help for the county, auditing bills, and making reports. it is ciatmed that the practice has led to serious abuses and impositions upon the Board, and ought to by corrected. Iu tho matter of auditing bills, erpecially, every mem- ber of the Committee should be present; first, because they are required to attest their cor- rectnese, and second, becaase they are paid for suck eervice. ‘The Committee clerk should also be required to be present and make a minute of the proceedings, and the Board would do well to reject eaid reports unless 80 attested. Such 9 reform is contemplated by certain members, and the sooner it is made tho better. —-— CRIMINAL. Thieves entered tho honse of William Howell.
