AWAMPING THE BUILDING COMMITTER. Somo discnseion waa bud yeatorday, among memhers of the County Board, on tho setion of the lsonrd at its last mecting tn adding the Pub- lie Service to the Bullding Committea ta look nl- ter excasating for the foundation of the new Court-l{ouso. Soma protended to say that Com- missioner McCafTroy, who madn tho motion for tho Joint committees to do the work, at the time labored uudor the idea that for the mem- Lers of the Building Committes to mako the oxcavation alono was an imposttion, for very few of them were physically able to baudie tue pick or ehovel ; hence he reinforced the Com- mitteo by adding theroto tho muscular strencth and oxporfence of tho Committeo ou Yublic Ser- vice, This ides, lowever, was as davoul of frionda as anothier, which wny to tho offect that the matter wan given to the Joint Committeo with & view to teating tho dirt-throwing capacity of tho Board aa compared with an equal numbor of Aldermen, who wero expectod to oulistud in tho rame delightful work. Commirsinnor McCnffrey was nslod for an ox- planation of his action in tho matter. Io was quick to dmi the theorics above, and frank tu #ny that he bad Do othor object m making the motion than to secure the buildivg of the Conrt- 1fouse at onco. (Io said ho was satisfied that, 1f tho suporintonding of the excavation hnd beon left to tho Buildiug Committee. tho work would not bo doun, from the fact that a majority of the Committtos wore nprmhl to building tho Conrt[louso at prosent; haueo his motion to add thie Committoo oa Public Servico to superintond tho work. The voto by which the Public-Sorvico Commit- a0 waa added was as follows, a8 appears from tho record ¢ Yeas—DBures, Carroll, Conly, Crawford, nnllnfi, Johnson, Joucs, Louorgan, ~McCafroy, Luseell, Behmidt, Surdick—12, ‘Nays—Clough, Guenther, Holdon—3, A glnnce at the vota crentes o conflict botween Commiasioner McCaffroy's theory aud the facts, for it apponrs that & majority of the Publio Building Committeo (Burdlck. Behmidt, and Louergau) voted * yea upon the Commiseion~ er's motion, which it is reasonable to boheve they would not have dono if thoy had been op- pased to the ercction uf the Court-Houno. That thero is something bohind tho wholo transaction unoxplained mooms vory npparent. Tho fact that the 'ublic Serrico Committon was added to the Building Commitiee at the [ustance of gono of its wmembe:s doos not roflect very creditably upon the movemont, which, added to tho fact tbat evary member of tho same Com- mittea voted yoa on Lhe proposition, leaves a reasonable Lasia for a varioty of suspicloos, the mildest of which is that the wholo affair was preconcortod for & purposs yot to bo doveloped. A PRETTY CONFIDENCE OPERATOR. MOW BfE TRIED IT AT A WNAT BIDE DANK. Aclover confidonca gamo was attempted yoa- torday on the braach of the International Bank located at the corner of Halsted and Harrinon stroots. Thursday thero camo ialo tho institu- tiou a young and vory pretty American woman and applied to Mr, A. Follhoimer, the managor, to know how much iuterost they would pay on time deposits. Mr. Pellhoimer repliod that tho bank did not caze particulatly for money at presont, but would pay ber at tho rate of @ per cont ou a small sum for six mouths, Tho Iady replied that sbo bad not quite com- leted Lior arrangowments, but that whe would ook in again, lll§ then she took har doparturo in compauy with a man who had come 1 with hor but had done uone of the talking. Yesterday the young and proliy woman ap- peared again in Blr. K Kellheimor's office and ox- plaiued that sbe had couclnded to leave a sum of money with him. bho thon handed bhim a check and o lettor.

Atr. Fellbcimer was i tmomentary doubt about the matter, and. to uuuf{ bimuolf, hosent a boy over to the Piiet National winlo he conversed with the owner of the chack. Bhe explalned, in answer to quostions, that she did not care to lenve the whole wam, but would take 31,600 and leavo $2,500. The tormer sum sho said way to buy soto thiogs for her mother. Mr. Follhein- cor tien made out a dopositor's book, and counted out 1,500 and waated for the boy. Miss Evorett stated tinally that if the busincss was all dono vho would not wait any looger, but would tako the book and tho money and go. ‘The managoer said you; but would sbe pluaso wait & wowent till bis boy came back from tle bank ; 1t was merely a mattor of form sho know.
