A pumber of prizes will bo competed for and the championship of the three States. Thers wore some sixty members pres- cnt and a large pumber of spectators, smong whom wore J. Irving Pearce and Maj. Heory Fulton of the American Team. BMaj. Fuiton algo took part in the shooting. ‘The following gentlemon ware chosen o go to Tndiana, the order of names indicating their ¢tauding in yesterday's compesition: Col. J. A. Shaffer, George Bentenmuller, Col. R. 8. Thomp- son, J. B. Bradwell. George Wiliard, Dr. T. D. Williams. and Walter Burnbam. The scores made were excellent, considering that thero was s strong wind from the south. The interest in the subject of rifle-shooting is rapidly incressing, the club pow numbering some 130 of the best citizens of Chicago. * TOE FIRST REGINMENT. The semi-annual parade of the First Regiment took place yesterday, and passed off in a manner that must have been gratifying to the partici- pants, as also to the gentlemen who bave been 1nstromental in promoting the growth and efti- ciency of the organization. Some little delay was had before the line was formed, a! t was not until 2:45 that the march began. Six com- panies, comprehending 250 men. reported for duty, snd. preceded by Nevaus' Band, pa- raded through the strests published in the morming Dpapers as the roate. The regment presented a most attractive ap- pearance, eliciting from the crowds that lived the thoroughfares aloug which it passed ex- ‘pressions of commendation and applause, The line of march was not concluded and the lake- {front reached until 2 1ate hour, sod 1t was dusk befors Co!. McClurg, aided : by Lieut.-Col. Hulbert and Maj. Knox, led his force into the parade-ground. An immense crowd had gathersd to welcome their arrival, and. all urited in tesufving their appreciation of this Chicago Regiment. Supt. Hickey had provided & squad of police to maintain order and clear the grounds of trespassers, but their ser- vices wers not required, as the mageures of the Tegiment were 1n no way interrupted. Here they went through battalion ahd company drill, the manual of arms, etc., aad their movements, although partially obscured by the glthcring darkness, indicated a degres of proficiency an: military fection that impressed itself unmistakably on all who were witnesses. : the conclusion of the exerciges, the column was reformed. and, by Jackson street, Wabash avenne, and Lake street, returned to the Armo~ 7. Afeature of the regiment, and one which attracted no inconsiderablo attenrion, was the drum-~corps, composed of twenty-one perform- ers, each one of whom exhibited a skill ap- proaching perfoction in the practice of his art. ‘The day was delightful, and nothing occurred to ianterfers with a succeas which was moss pro- nounced. — HAVERLY VS. HOOLEY, A CHANGE OF VENUE ASKED FOR. The much-postponed motion to disolve the injunction in the case of J. H. Haverly vs. R A1 Hooley and Thomas Msgnire came up again sesterday morning. The defendants’ counsel began readiog an afidavit in support of their motion, when Mr. Hardy interrupted him and stated that he wished to have a change of venue, He, however, did not have the petition with him. aond asked time to send forit. After.maiting about half an hour the pe- tition was brought and filed by Mr. C. W. Con- etantine, sssociate counsel for Afr. Haverly. It s then read, and wasto the effect that the peti- tioner, J. H. Haverly, fearod he could not have & fair and impartial trial before Judge Williams, on account of his prejudice. AMr. E. M. Haines and S. M. Millard, the solicitors for the defendantsthen read theirown affidavits, in which they alleged that they had had no notice whatever of the motion to be made for change of venue, Botb counsel then argued that no rea- sonablo notice had been given, that the petition | was 1nsuflicient, and that s copy of it should bave boen served with the nouce. i Alr. Hardy claimed that the petition complied with the statnte, and was sufticient. The notica was served on pergons in charge of the respect- ive offices of the defendants’ counsel, and that was acknowledged to be the common practics in that respect. Mr. C. W. Constantine just here made a sharp point by remarking that, though tne defend- ants’ connwel maintained t¥at they had had no notice of the motion, they had come prepared to arzae it, and had Iaw-books which came from AIr. Rich's library, and yet they had oot been out of the room since the motion was made. ‘This seemed to disconcert the opposing couussl, but & general discussion followed on both sides, Mr. Haines most pertivaciously urging the claims of his clients. Judge Williams then granted the motion for a change of venue, stating that he had no hesita- t10D in the present case in wpeaking about Lis own prejudics. He dia not even know the com- vlsinant, and to his knowledge bad pever spoken 10 hum, 8o thatit could not be possible thathe was projudiced. Whep the bill was brought to him, he had requested Mr. Hardy to take it to Judge Farwell, because he himsell was too busy to attend 1o it, and also was of the opinion that na- t:6> should bave been given to the opposite side. But, most unfortuoately, the injunction bhad been ieeued ex-parte, and thus the tronble bad been caused. In the present motion tho patition bad come within the statute, and tne petition was therefore eufficient. It had never peen the practice to demand personal notice. ‘The remsining question was as to whether the notice was sufficient. The aflidavits of the de- fondauts did not controvert that of the com- olamant. Probably neither Mr. Haines nor Mr, Millard had actually received notice Friday even- ipg, but the wmotice had been left at their ofice with some person in charge thereof, and that was the common practice. The Court had no discretion in the case under such crcumstances, and the motion for change of venue wonld therefore have o b granted. 3Ir. Haines then asked the Court to as least MAKE 50ME QBNDITION on which he would grant the change,—either on the condition that the injuoction should be dis- solved or a Receiver appointed. This was also refused. 7The couosel then asked that an _additionsl bond . should bo given by the complainent, but this 8i80 was refused, and the Judge said that all motions should be made before Judge Far- well. Later in theday s notice was served by the defendants’ counsel on the opposjte side ihat the same motion to dissolve woula be made before Judge Farwell, AMdnday mornlug. pilashcisiel il SYDNEY MYERS, LECTURE BEFORE THE PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY. At the regular weekly meeting of the Chicago Philosophical Society last nigh t, Judge Booth in the chair, Mr, Sydney Myers delivered an ad- dress on “Commerce.” In commencing his discourss Mr. Myers eaid commerce involved all intercourse, 1ts history was coeval with that of man, its fotore was in the sges. In its narrow sense it involved interchange of commodities, and that interchange involved two departments: the oue of transportstion and the other of exchange of ownerstip. Before com- modities could exist labor must be parsned, and until he conld find s better he hiad adopted 83 the definition for labor that it was the intelli- gent application of power to use. Mr. Myers then briefly recited the natural progress of com- merce up toits present stage of development, and glanced rapidly at the king sys. tems of the world. With regard to the security of the British bank notes he said the total pote circulation of Great Bntain at a recent date was £44,620,000 sterling. 0f this amount £30,000,000 composed what is called the fiduciary circulation; the remasinder had gold bebind it availale for the redemption of the notes. He cominended the syastem of the Bank of Venice, which had_sxperienced 500 ears of extraordinary prosperity, scarcely sny failures occurring during that time. Mr. I.Vau Balen, President; H. Greenberg, \x:e-.‘-’renden_t: E. Dismon, Trepaorer, and S, Gieenbsum, Seccetary. Owing to the judicious Was eit not, he asked, practicable to improve upon the €ystem of the exchange of ownership of THE CHICAGO TKIBUNE: SUNDAY OCTOBER 24 for us to go back into the track of the old Bauk of Venice, which was so successfol in getting along;for 500 vears withonta financial crisis, rather than to endesvor to puraue & Bystem which, bav- ing boen repeatedly tried, had uniformly failed, and bronght ruin and destruction upon every conatry that had tried it. We were becom- ing the best educated people oo finance in the world. -~ The press of the country hed awskened to the importance of the subject, and would in the fa- ture give more information relative thereto than would be fonnd in the books. We would live to s60 the day when the United States would have a circulating medizm absolutely couvertibie! and Bonamy Price satd that thecirculation which was abeolutely convertitie could never be exceesive. We would have s cutrency that would beon a specie basis. and valusbis "to Americans travel- ing abroad,—a currency that would not only bs equivalent to gold, and readily exchangeable for gold, but command & premium over gold. A portion of the decrease in circuiation he acconnted for by the farmer locking it up in his pocket, and beid that in currenoy there was aspbyxia as well as ju air, and that the cur- rency system demsndsd & gaoge and eafety- valve in crder to properly check it. He held that the grecnback should be made convertiole into 3 , per ceut gold-interest-bearing bonds, and in such a manuer be redeemable by National Barks in the several cities as provided by Sec. S1 of tha National Baok act.., No debt could be paid by promises to pay, and » bond was s legal evidence of debt. The greenback doliar was only to be paid by the doliar, which Mr. Chase meant when he wrote the first bill. The mwattor of finance should be discussed by all. He was in favor of having & common facior a8 & atandsrd of value, and thoughtghat a8 per cont gold-bearinz bond was the remedy to the pres- ent tightness in currency. After the lecture, Judge Btiles and others criticised it. ——— LOCAL LETTERS. THE WHEELER EXPEDITION. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune: Cmzcaco, Oct. 23.—~Mr. William H. Rideing, of Division No. 2, Colorado section of the Wheeler Exploring Expedition, arrived ia this city fram Las Vegas, New Mexico, yesterday, en route for New York. This party, of which First Lienten- ant C. C! Morrison, Sixth Cavalry, is in charge, left Pueblo, Col., June 12, and travéled ovor 2,000 round miles in less than four months, also surveying an area of many thoussnd square miles more. Moving south from Pueblo, the explorers croseed the Rocky Mountains by the way of the Saneredel Cristo Pass, and vroceeded to Fort Garland, where the work of the survey was begon. Thonce they passed through the canona of the Los Pinos, the Couejos, and the Cheams, occopying all promi- nent mouncaivs, including Blaine's and Banded Peaks, two of the highest in the San Juan range, from which the drainage-areas of the rivers of these canons were netted in the meshes of tho iriangles, which neither the smallest brook nor tho fauntest trail can_escape. 1t was g0 earlv in the season, and such difticuities Were met from ewoilen streams, forest fires ig- nited by the Indians, and melting snows, that it was impossible to complete the work here, and it was decided to return later in the summer. This region abouuds with the most beautiful valleys, clothed in luzuriant vegetation, and the game, too, is very numerous, consisting of biack, cinnamon and grizzly bear, deer, grouse,r and trout. But thence the party entered = section of country which is destitute of vegetation and contains no permanent waters in an ares of 90 miles. The only signs of life are innumerable reptiles, and the cactus, sage-bush, and prickly pear. The partv were fortanate in striking the rainy season, and obtained a scant supply of water from pools. The whole region is broken by mountains, sandstone, and sand- stone clay formations, calied mesas in tho Spanish, their rocky sfes being precipitous and brilliantly colored, while the tops are perfectly flat. It rivals, if it does not excel, the Yel- Towstone region in its varied geological won- ders, and though it is so barren now it i plentifully strevu with the rains of Aztec towns, showing that 1t must have once been ex- tensively populated. Tbres weeks were indus- trionely occupied in the desert, and then the party entered Arizona by the way of Washington Pass in the Turt Cha or Chasca range, and made for Fort Defiance. The most valusble data, geological, mineralogical, and astronomical, and specimens’ of natural bistory and Aztec relics wore obtaine® A two days’ march from Defi- ance brought the expedition to Fort Wiogate, with the whole train’ of pack-mules in such a coudition of soreness aud exhaustion that they could not proceod farther. Fresh animals were obtained, and the two months following were spent in the Zuni Mountaius among their craters and lava-beds, and wonderfully fertils valieys ; on Mount Taylor, one of the highest peaks in New Mexico ; in the Valley of the Rio Grande, and tue Placer nnd Manzana Mouptains. The maio camp was constautly sub- dividea into three working detachments, one of which, in cbarge of Mr. Clark, the topographer, went north and completed the work left undona in.the San Juan range. Astronomical observa- tions were also taken by Lieut. Morricon at all ium‘unt points. The three parties forming the Colorado section will meet at Fort Lyoo, South- ern Colorado, to disband about Nov. 20, and it in believed that the results of the season's work will prove unuaually 1mportant to geographera and others concerned in scientific axp\omn;lnm CHICAGOU. To the Edulor of The Chicago Tridune CHIcAGo, Oct. 25.—1 was surprised the other day in looking over a large geography published in London by Emanucl Bowep, in 1747, to find a very accurate map of this Northwestern country, on which I find Chicagon correctly located, and our river with its north and south branches, 8t. Joseph River m Michigan, and at the southern end of the lake find located the Vill de Peteonat~ amies. The lllinoie Riveris correct with the Iake whero Peoris 18 located, but instead of Peo~ rin is lo Fort d'Miamis. The Mascoutens seemed to occupy the territory north of the Tllivois River, and the Ilinois Indians south. The lroquois River is the same as now but the Kankakee was called Teakiki. Av the junction of the Missiesiopi and Kaskaquins (Kaskaska) was Fort de Cbartres. The Wabash waa called Qubacke or St. Jerome River. St. Louis was not mentioned, but at Galena was the River ala Mine and Mine d’Flomb. Maek- inaw was called Machillimakinac, and opposita on the Nortbern Peninsula was ** Fort ot mis- sion detrmite.” The Detroit River was correctly located and spelled. Saginaw Bay was Bay of Saguinam, and Green Bay was Bay des Puana. The history and description of different parts of the United States was vory full and interesting, A scrap from Pennayivania is amusing to read at this date. It 1s as follows : Fish : Sturgeon, herrings, eels, smelts, and perch ; the laiter are caught in Delaware Bay, and 1o the river above the freshes, ocsters, crabs, cockles, and muscels. There are also rocks, ahat codsbead, sbeeps- Lead, and other fish not worth to be pacticularly men- noned. Aato thetrade of Pennsylvanis with respect 1o Europe and America, the case, according to the best accotnis we hsve, stands thus: Their merchandise cousinte of horsce, pipe-staves, pork, beof, and fish, salted and barreled up, skins and furs, and all sorts of grain, snd in return for these they ymport from the Carribbee Ieiands (West Indies) and other places, rum, &ugar, molasses, silver, negroes, salt, and wine, and from Great Bntain housebuld goods and clothing of all kinds, hsrdware tools and toys. They have also some rice, but mo great quantuties, and & little tobaceo of 1o worst sort. Their trade srith the Indiana consists but in a few articles. They yeceave of the Datives chisfly skins and furs of their wild beasts, for which they give toem clothing, arms, smmunition, rum, and otber spirits ii Teturn, ‘This as well as otber Northern Col- onies b3 alsoa clandestine trado with the Spaniards upon the enast of Terrs Ferma (uorthern part of South America), furnishing them with European and merchandise, for which they receive chiefly” dollars in xeturn ; and they also trade to the bays of Honduras and Champeachy for log-wood. _But, sfter all, it must admitted that Pennsylvanis has 20 staple commodi- 15, nor have the inkalitants ever set up sny manufac— ture of their own, G. A. Cmausgns. WHY 1 GO ALONE. To the Kditor of The Chicago Tribune : Cricaco, Oct. 23.—I do not ask my wife to at- tend lectures with me any more. I go alone, Avd why? For the simple but important resson that our public halls are so imperfectly ventilat- od that, instead of having comfortin & good seat, where the lecturer can be seen and heard, it has become a positive torture to me. Going alonelcan find & standing place where I dis- cover'a little fresh air, and stay there through the lecture. I canmot ssk my wife to do the #ame, 50 I go alone. Take, for example McCor- mick’s Hall Friday evening. I ventcre to assert withont fear of contradiction that huudreds of gentlemen wished they had gone alono, snd that the Iadies with them wished the ssme. Very meny ladies and gentlemen stood the sweltering as long as they conld, but departed to the rear and to tha strest soon after Mr. Tilton commenced. One gentleman passed to the atairs with the blood streaming from his nose. A young couple came under the gallery and hur- riedly pulled at s blind only to find a solid wai} behind it. The ushers eaw all tbis going on, commodities > "All financial wisdom had not been exhausted in the past, and it might be well but made oo effort that [ con!d eee to prooute extra ventilation. Perhaps the buildiog had no more. When I do find _lecture-hsll whero I can sit in a good seat and breathe sir which is not mflocating, I will alwavs take my wife there. Until then I will go sione and bunt up a cool corner. GEUMBLER. e THE COUNTY BUILDING. The Grand Jury will visit the County Insene Asylum and Poor-House Tuesday. TOWN EXPENSES AGAIN. The Committes on Equalization will report to the County Board to-motrow in reference to the allowancs to the Towne of North, South, aod West Chicago for town exponses for the coming year. The s'lowance for Bouth Chicago has been fixed at 250,000; West Chi- cago, $20,000; and North Ciicago (not definitely fixed). 818,000. Commissioner Busse refuses to sign the report because the towns have failed to present an itemized accodnt of their needs. South Chicago wants 20,000 of the 50,000 to apply to its debt, but the Town Ulerk baa failed to show to whom the debt is due, and, since £11,000 was sallowed for the same purposs last year, the Commissioner besitates to encourage any such condition of affairs. A SPECTMEN COUNTY CONTRACT. That gentleman of endless resources and un- measurable_productive ability, C. F.* Periolat, 18 uow furnishicy the county with Irish potatoes for nze at the County Hospital, as well a8 nearly overy other article used in the several county iu- stitutions. Potatoes are worth in the market about 15 cents per bushel, but the couoty pays Penolat 90 cents, as per contract ma June, and this in face of the fact that the tv has thousands of bushels on the Poor-Farm with which'no one knows what to do, except to Jet them rot. This littlo fact has been sought t0 be concealed by certain officials who were asked in reference to it weoks ago, and yester- day the reporter, in seeking furiher light upon the subject, found st least one of the Hospital Commiitee who said he kuew nothing sbout the matter. Here is avother evidence of reckless expeoditure on the part of the Conuty Board, and an example of looseness in county affairs that caunot fail to conviuce the humblest tax- payer of the necessity of slecting honorable and conscientious men as Conuty Commissioners. ‘The County Hospital and County Board aro run by the ** Bean " Club, and the exp'aunation of the whole affair is that Periolat runs the whole, THE GUAND JURY. ‘The Grand Jury held a short session yester- day moroing. aud, 1n tho absence of witnessea iuthe alleged bribery case of certain County Commissioners, took up complaiot Cases. Among other indictments found the noted Roe DBrothers camo in for thewr share, the offense this time being that they appeared to have been swindling, During the session of the jury a jury- man volunteered some information in tho bnibery busiese. which led to a subpmus being issued for Samuel Ashton, who it was stated could testify that money had beea used in the letting of the contract for tha foundation for the Court-House. Another member dropped & hint to the effect that F. B. Wilkie, of the Zimes, was ot wanted before thejary, the rea- son being that he had given certain ioformation privately which wounld secure the exposeurs of whatever there was in the obargo made by .the Times. Just wbat the in- formation was could nmot be learncd, but itis believed that it waes » reference to the source from which he gaived whatever he knows of the case. Afier the adjournment of the jury it was predicted tbat iu, view of ihe develop- ments promised in the matter, two reports upon the 1nvestigation would be presented to the Court. The majority report, it is claimed,will soverely censure the members of the Board voting for the award of thecontract to Harms, and the minority will simply remonstrato againat the majority report. At il cvents, if uothing farther in the matter comes before the jury, the **ring" of the Board can rest assured that it will be publicly censured for its conduct, by & minority report at least. —_— CRIMINAL. The man Sanders, who was sent to the House of Correction Kiiday for stealing an overcoat, was not in the employ of the Clarendon House. Henry Sommers was yesterday beld in $1,000 bail to the Distric Court by Commissioner Hoyne, for not d:stroying the stamps on liqaor which he was retatling. Patrick Kelly was bofore Commissioner Hoyne yesterday afternoon on a charge of carrying on business a8 a retail liquor-dealer without paying the spacial tax. He was held in 3500 bail. Charlos Dunn is one of these fellows whom ‘Waehburn has not yet heard of. Yeuterday he tried to pass a counterfeit $5 note at 28 Wast Randolph street, and was locked up in the Madi- son Street Station. Commissioner Hoyne yesterdsy saw fit to re- duce the bail of Benjamin Case, charged with ohoating the Government out of :axes on whisky, from $5,000 to £2,000. Case was thereby ena- bled to go free until the day of his trial.

Patrick Tiernoy becams tired of Jifo withont work, and made up hLis mind to take a laborer's luck in digging clay on the streets. Then ho began by stealing an axand spade at 99 West Randolph. And now be will go to workt at the House of Correction if the court knows itself, and Justice Scally thinks it does. ‘Timothy Lyoch i8 & prosperous miner from Nevada. He arrived in this city Thursdsy, with his pockets loaded down with golden eagles and other ** yellow boys,” which be readily exchanged fora roll of greenbacks. This, or something else, made him unusually happy, and he took a stroil on West Kinzie street, freely patroniziog the saloons on the street. 1n one of them he fell in with a crowd of four, who coaxed bim to have a drink st the saloon on the corner of Dunn satreet. Lynch_generously psid for them, snd in doing 20 exhibited hia rol. When be lefz the place the four folloxed him, 2ud when they reached & suitable place one of them koocked him down while the others went through his pockets and relieved im of $835. Yesterday ho sued out a warraut for their arrest before Justice Scully, went with tbe Con- stable, and pointed out & man named James Dale 28 the one who had knocked him down. Dale was #toweed away in the Madison Streot Station, ane the offiers are on the tracks of his accomplices. 'The police yesterday heard of a case of proba- ble child murder, which ia as yet almost & com- plete myatery. On the mght of Oct.1a party of men called st the house of Thomas Dorsey, a bricklayer, located on the corner of Twelith street and Western avenue, and insisted that Dorsey sbould go with them. His wife object ed, and one of the men dealt her a blow with an ax. She dodged it, and the corner of the wespon struck the babe in her srms, inflicting a wound about 2 inches long just oehtnd the rigbt ear. The names of the meu are given as Iteuben McKinoon, George and Harry Lunn; Lljah Woods, Charles Wonds, and Bill Chiddick. This is the story that Mrs, Dorsey tells the reporters and the police. On the 12th mstant she took the child to Dr. Efliot, st No. 453 Western avenue, and to him she told an en- tirely different story, which is decidedly the more probable of the two, pamely, thaj the child was injured by anailin the sidewalk. Sergt. Vesey, of the Gad's Hill Station, investi- ®ated the case yesterdsy, and isinclined to be- lieve the Intter story. The eldest. asughter of the family says she does not kmow how it oc- carred, but she does know that there was no Buch affair a8 her mother reports on the night in question or on any other night. The story abont the ax is furtber proven false by the wound on the child's nead. Itis morely a puncture not three-eightbs of an inch in leneth, and conld not have been done with ap ax. Some of the neighbors are inclined to believe that it was done Dorsey kimself in one of his drunken brawla. When questioned in regard to the affsir, Dorsey professed entire ignorance, and said he would bave brought it into Court had it not been for the expenses at~ tending the issuance of warrants fox the arrest of the men. The child is about fifteen months old, andisin a dying condition. Dr. Dunoe, the Citv Physician, says it is a wonder that the ¢hild bas lived eo long. Orders have been given for the arrest of the men, but the police bave lictle hopaes that it will smount to anything, s they are convinced that the wound was -either caused accidentally by & nail or by some wezpon in the hands of itadrunken father. CRIMINAL COURBT. In the Criminal Court yesterdsy morning, sap- gl.icnhou ‘was _made for a writ of "habeas corpus y Martin McGarry, now in jail on a mittimus from the Coroner, on the charge of murderivg Jacob Maajick.

The Collector paid £11,317.10 into the Treas- ury yeatorday, and fhe water-tax gatberers turoed over $1,065. ¥ The redemption of tax certificates brought in the snug sum of 36,605.5¢ yesterday, and the Comptroller turned it over to the Treasurer.

The Committee ou Wharves and Public Grounds heid a meeting in the ante-room off the Council Chamber yesterday afternoon. Alds. Watren, R. Stone, ‘and Murphy were present. The question of the removal of the police quarters on the corner of Madieon and Union streets to the northwest corner of Randolph and Union streets was discussed. The gentlemen recognized tbe necessity of a change, and Capt. Ellis atated for their information that the present sfation was very detrimental to the school children and ought to be located alse- where. Nichael Greenebaum offered to ex- change 80 feet on Randolph street by 122 on Union, abutting on the city lot now oc- copied by the old Police SHtatiop, for the Madison street property and $30.000. The Committes considere the sum asked too great, bat, in the absence of in- formation concerning values in tbe localities mentioned, decided to make inquiries and dis- cues the proposition Afonday or some other day next week. After deciding to recommend that Mr. Goodrich havea reduction of $500 on the annual rental of the dock property om River stroet, the Committee adjourned. —_—— ANNOUNCEMENTS.

Calhoun and Bensley, were preparad to do businesa at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Plambers’ license fess were fixed at $5 per appum. The lot at the corner of Cottage Grove avenue and Drexel Bonlevard was selected as the site |. for the north end hose-house, the rent for the same to be $150 a year. The job of brilding the bouse was not awarded. Mr. Gillett offered a resolution statiag that $6,000 will be paid to any builder who will con- struct a bridge at One-hundred-and-sixth strest according to the plans of the Village Engineor. The approaches are included. Carried. Thomas Rally was made a special withont psy, to serve at the J. H. Brown Iron and Steel Worka. Messra. Waite & Foster, who were appointed to make the needed repairs at the Crib, reported progress, thongh they had made none, On the contrary, they venled alarming discovenes to the effect that, the Crib was in a much more dsmaged condition than when the matter was first brooght before the Board, and was becoming more snd more dam- aged every day. ‘The piles were looser, the sand was pouring more rapidly into the pipes, the toj of the house had been torn off by the wind, an the east side of the crib had settled a foot. The ‘repairs would be costiy, and the Board were de- sired to visit ‘the cnib Wednesday, to soe for themsetves bow things were there. The invita- tion was accepted. A. R St. John's cow got into the potnd recently, and Mr. St. John broke down the pound and tonk his property ovt thradgh the Uogal broach bo had made, For this ha was fined 8100, according to law. Mr. Gillett moved that, as the offender was a ood citizen, and bad not done great injury to the pound, $75 of the fine be refunded.” This was ordered. The Attorney reported against paying the Villago Gas Company for relaying their pipe in the streets, unless judgment was obtained in the Courts. Messrs. Beneloy and Calboun having arrived, an ordinance ailowing the Chicago City Raway Companyv to buiid & single track on Egan av- eoue, from Cottage Grove to Stato street, was read. One of the conditions is that cars shall be ran every eight minutes : another, that a sin- gle track sbiall be laid on Thirty-ninth street, in Chicago, from Cottzgo Grave avenue to State street, making a complete double track. The ordinance was ordered to be engrossed. The Board adjourned to 7 o'clock Batarday evening. Village Engineer Waite went out the other day to examine some of the southern portions of his district. ‘Fraveling homeward in the dusk, and reaching an unfrequented spot, he dimly saw three men in the road abead, evidently waiting for him, AS he came up one of them sprang toward the horse's head, but Mr. Waite gave the apimal a suddep ciip of the whip, the inter- loper was knocked down and run_over, and the gang left in the duat and the lanrch. Nevertheless, Mr. Waite did not like to think of baving such parrow es- capes in future, ~and the matter came before the Trustees vestorday. It was recommended that heresfter, when the Hyde Park officiala place their precious lives in danger in the pérformance of duty, they be accom- panied by a policeman. This would perhaps be a guardiaoship more effective than the tax-pay- 618 cara to bave for those whom ther are obliged to support, but whose necks may not be consid- «red a0y moroe valuable than the mecks of the ordinary citizen. LATE. Lakewill at Iast have a horse-railway, but, con- trary to all expectation, it will be nnder the con- trolof the South Side Street Railway Company. The trouble the Board had in distingmshingwhich was which of the two Chicago and Englewood Horse and Dummy Companies is partly to blame for the grant, but the main causs is to be found elsswhere. In addition to s paper from Albert Colvin giving them tne right to lay a track any- where in the town, they also pre- sented witnesses to prove that the Board of 1863 gave them & clear charter. The Board thought, under thess conditions, they coald not do better than avoid legal trouble and give the Chicago City Kailway Company the right to lay & certain route under proper restrictions. A bulky ordinance grantiog the rightwas passed, allowiog the Company to lay and operate horse-cars on Stazte street to Sixty-firat treet, thence west to Wentworth av- enus, thence soath to Sixty-third strect, thence west to Stewart avenue, thence south to Sixty- firat street. The urdinance apecially provides that two-horse cars, with adriverand under the charge of a conductor, only sball be rua, and thst the fare for any distance on the route shall ba only 5 couts a trip. In order to effactually silence all doubts of the desire of the Company to sell their right to a steam railway, the ordinance stipulates that horee-power only shall be used, snd that the Company shall never allow any other cor- poration to rua on their tracks, and wilt only use their own cars, The 10ad must bs comoleted to Six\y-firse street within six mouths, and accord- ingly by Jan. 1 Englewooders may expect o be able toTida down-town io a borse-car. The en- tire road must be finished by Oct. 1, 1876, or the ordinauce will be null and void. ‘The Chicago & Englewood Horse Railway Company, or a8 one of tbe Trustees facetiously remarkod the * lost cause,” presented their new and revised petition, which was referved to the Cnmm’ttee, where it will probably receive bad treatment. - ‘Lhs Committes to whom was referred the bill of the late Mr. Zenas Colman, amonntiog to 33,600, for commissions on moneys received by bim, when Treasurer of the town, re- ported that they had received a com- munication signed bv the deceased befora his death, requesting them to pay no money or issue any certificates in payment of the bill rill his sccounts were satisfactorily settled. The Committee's only dilemma about Lis accounts is thair icability to acconnt for three 31.000 bonds paid to C. E. Hequmbourg, and uuntil that is arranged to their satisfaction they find they can- not report on the bill, and asked further time, which was granted. Col. J. T. Foster, the Town Engiveer, reported that the repairs ‘on the crib &t the water-woris will cost & great deal more than was estimated, aod that he aud the Hyde Park engineer had thought it beat to postpoue work oo it till further in- structions. The estimated cost wasabout $3,- 000, but the Colonel eays the job cannot be com- Meted without double that “expenditars. The Board determined, after a long discussion, to en- gage & tug and examine the crib and water- works, in company with the Hyde Park Trustees, Wednesday. 3 ‘The Board of Educatinn have found it neces- sary to build another school, aad for that par- pose have instructed’ Mr. Alloway and Supt.

Woods, Secretary; Prudential Committee, Messrs. Bainey and Bar- tholomew and Mise Clara M. Pussell. The next regular meeting will be held Nov. 1. The dedication of the new Methodist Chorer on Stewart svenue, near Sixty- fifth stroet, will take .place this morning at 10 o'clock.
