GENERAL NEWS, The difficnily beiween (wo women named Hamilton and Abrahams, mentionod in yestor- day's paper, did not occur at the Desplaines Tons thon stated, but at the houee No. 97 Desplaines atreot, The temporatire yostorday, aa obcerved by Mannesa, optician, No, 88 Madison street (Trin- Building), wan es follows : Ha.m., 40; 10 10 m., 40; 3 p. m., 41; 8 p. m., 43, ar: onter namnd Frank Ives, whiie at work on a new biniling at tho corner of Divislon and Bodgwick streets. yeaterday morning, accidant- ally foll from a scaffold to the ground, and re- colved dangerous internal injuries, DLesides bronking both arma bolow tha clbow. Ofticers Ryan and White, of the Chioago Ave- nuo Station, found the dead body of a man Iy- ing on tho eidewalk in front of No. 547 Ashland avenno, at about 3 o'clock yesterday mornlng. It proved to bo the body of Jobn Bly, a lahorer, of ahout 24 yoars of age. Ho wan last soen drunk on Milwauliko avenuo by Officers Penzon and Korr, of the same station, and way ther in com- any with anothor man. As no marks of vio- once conld be found, it is presumed that the follow came to his death by reason of continned cxcesnon, asnisted, porhaps, by exposure. Tho Coronor will hold the inquest fo-day. About 2o'clock yestorday afternoon, whila Mr. James Nicol was standiug in front of hia building on the south side of Harrinon stroot, between Joflorron and Dosplainen, ho suadonly fell to the ground and died almost instantaueous- 1y, presumably from hesrt diacase. Mr, Nicol, who was 77 years old at the timo of his death, was born in Paisley, Scotland, nnd came to New York in 1828, removing lo this eity in 1847, whore he baa sinco remded, tha Iattor part of the timo at tho corner of Sheldon and Lako pircots, Mr. Nicol ia well-known hora and in Now York, nnd the newa of hts death will Lo received with general sorrorw, ‘Tho work on the Blus Teland avenua viadnct appears to be progressiog both rapidly and dat- 1sfactorily. Cox Brow., tha cautractors for tho approaches, began work about thren weeln ngo, and Liad 1,500 cords of stono Imid by yesterday. Thoy liave 225 men_and sevonty-five tesins . tho job, besides a drodger iu tho lako getting saad for the mortar. 1f tho weather phould hold out aud the canal keep open, Cox Lros, will fin- inh thoir contract fa six werks. As it ix, tho bot- toms will bo all dono ju_four dayw, and the com- pletion of tho job will then Lo a comparatively easy task, When it is considered that tuero ara eight npproachea to the vinduct, the magoitude of the work will be appreciated. A residont near tho corner of Desplaivas and Adams streots writes in a state of puffed-up 10~ diguation to say that the ashman has not been around that neighborlicod for at lonst ten daya, and that in cnneefluvncn of this meglect all the barrele, boxes, and like receptaclos are full, and the housckeeper at the door with = scut- tlo full of nshos on a windy morning is a Ppainful picturo of porploxity. Ho notes in the samo conncction that tho dolegato who colieots the awill is prompt in_bLis rounds, snd attributes that fact to tho gentle squeak of the expectant pig, which persuades bim to promptooes. Tho inforance is that if some one could invont an animal with an {nordinate appe- tito for ashes and bostow him upon the ash- gatherer the peopls would bo better served. Many ways thoro be of soberiug up a drunken man. Cold water outwardly and Reltzerinwardiy will do it sometimes, but & better way was in- vonted last woek by the friends of the Bishop. Tho Bishop, bo it "known, had beon for_somo days on o very entbusiastio and inteuso drunk, and when he camo into a place the other night and sought to bo mobarch of all he Bauveyed, the partnors of his epiritunl jogs helped him to go to slosp, ond then chipped o for a fitting carrlago to tako bim homo. A sufficiency of monoy was procured, ani one of tho sobereat of tho party went out and hired n hoarao, into which ths drunken and somnolent Bishop was put by bhis less drunken frisnds. Pursuaut to orders, the driver puon steam ovor a few rough spoty, and soon heard vigorous but slightly maudlin_cries from tho in- side of the vehicle, The dialoguo botwoen the passenger and tho driver Js doscribod ns very louchiug, the fright of thositnation having saber- »dthe foinior o that ho appreaintedthosituation. Hoving arrived at tho Dishop's place of resi- donce, tho driver dum{rc«l that head of the hurch out upon the sidewalk, still uncertain about the legs. but sobor cnough about the boad to record all sorts of oatha that ho would sover ride in that pariicular kind of hack again, The sequel is that the Dishop has boen wonder- tuily sober ginco his ride. FWENTIETH WARD PRAUDS, In anawer to the call isaued yeeterday by Jul- 1ao 8. Rumsoy in behall of the Twentisth Ward Citizens' Club, requostiog ali those rosident vot. ers of that ward whocaet their ballois for elthor Huck or Kecley in the lato olection to give their namo and address, nnd the name of thecandl- date of thoir choice, to the Citizens' Clab, st thelr rooms, cormer of Clatk aod Illinois utreotn, & number of citizons appeared aud 1oado aflidavits concerning their votes. Tha pbjoct of thia courso ia to prove tho existence of fraud on_tho part of the judges of election in that ward. Atthe First P’recinct, tho judges relurned only 83 votes for Huck and 7 for Racley. The Repnblican challenger counted at leant 38 Huck votes and 83 for Kecloy. The Citzens' Club have token this courso to forrot out tho matter, and, as thov are in earnest, tha illegality, i1 any oxists, will surely ba dincovered. A notary, Ueorgo H.

HEIR TO A DELAWARK ESTATE. The differouce botweens vagrant and a gentle- man of leisure is very slight in thia city, accord- ing to the oracular utterances of tho legal Jumi- naris whose lusire {s confined to Police Court practice. It {8 not slways, however, that Justices can bo iuduced to comcide with that propovition, An oxceptional Instance of tbis kiud occurrod yeslorday aftornoon iu Justico Yooto's affice, v when & budding youth with an {ocome of &L800 a year was om ftrial for vagrancy. The accused was the somewhat notorious Lany King, a contidence operator of singular promise, who was arrested soveral weoks ago on genvral principlos, and who ;nok achauge of veuuo from Bummerfield to Footo. Larry is a festive-looking individual, with a dissipated air, and & suit of loud clothes, which lattor, howover, havo been ¢adly disarranged and sofled during his weok's carceration ina Harrle wou-atreot coll, Notwithstanding thess mwnor dla- couragements, Larry put onabold front, and stepped forward with & cousclous-lnnocenco ex. ression whew his cago was called, Oificers teardon and 3ead testified undor oath that the defendant was without occupntion, aud mado biy bosdquarters at a certain assignation restaursat op State street. Beyond that thelr kuowledge was limited, Larry bimaelf thon took tho stand, and, great- 1y to the satonishinent of the seloct sudienco, delivereds mastorpiece of oratory in his defenso. *\Why, your Honor,” said he, **1've got money, What'more do you want ? "Aiut I a-livin' here peacenbly on my income 7" Foote—Wbat income ? Larry—One hundred and fifty doliars a month. Foote, in disgust—Where do you got $150 & month ? Larry—Left mo by my owr father, of course. L'm & geotleman, I am. A lengthv cr xamination elicitea the fact tuss Larry's capital was located in Dolaware, whence he received his monthly atipoud by Post- Oftice ordory.

To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune : Cnrcago, Nov, 10.—Does the ity ordinanco requiting bulletin-bosrds to be kept within 3 feat of the building only apply to a forw, or does it cover the city ? Tha writar unfortunately ells books to onlighten tho public, and bas had to ro- wove lils twico: while in every direction upon tho principal atroets may bo found acores of wido boards in frout of maloous and other favored places., A Dooksenren, it THE COUNTY BUILDING. ‘The Sherifl yeatorday levidd upon the offects of L.a BoSing, an importation from ths Coles- tiat land. It in mcarcaly nocessary to esy that Lon Boisa * washoo-man." The importance nt- tached to tho caso ia that Mr., Bing ia the firet of hin raco ovor under tho thumb of tha Huoni of the county. ‘Iho Commilteo on Publie Buildings and Pub- lic Bervico vostorday accepted an tavitation to attend a conferonco to-day with tho city author- ities in roferenco to tho plans for the now Cours- House. The Committoo has no nuthiority to take any action whatover at the conference, and will attend as {ndividuala rather than as ofticials. Commissionsr Ruasell, of ths Committeo on Jail and Jait Accounts, was beloro the Grand Jury vesterday to answer to a complaint against tuo eflcroncy of the fanitors of the building, ono a brother of Commiseioner McCaflrey, and tho cther a brother of C. ¥, Periolat, The building in in a filthy condition throughont, n matter 1o which attontion has been repeatediy callea. The other membors of tho Committes wiil bo called to-day on tho satno subject. A communication was handed to the Clerk of tho County Board vosterday by Jamea Kinnos, living at No, 150 Ok strool, making apptication for the oflico of Warden of the Insanoe Asylum, and nsking tho nosition of matron for his wilo, in the ovent of a change boing mado at that in- stitution, Tho applicant ia highly tndorsod, but 11 unacquainted with thoe Ring can scarcely hope for any favor, Tho Committeo on Publie Bufldings aud Char- itics met yesterday, aud audited a fow bille. Among thoso examined was ono of Josoph iia- an, amounting to over 1,600, for work on tho neana Asylum. Tho bill bad some ftems in it which seemed strango to several mombors of the Commlttee, but was finally parsed. Tho quos- tion of purchasing lightning-rods for the soveral county inatitntions was further conaiderod, but no action was taken, it apponring to the Com- mitteo that thero was no immediato danger frown tho electrical flufd. TUE GRAND JTRY. The Grand Juory put fn some good timo yestor- day in tho further iuvestigation of irregularitics connected with tho Iato election, Under this head nino truo bills were found, eix of which woro against judges, and three against ropeators. Tho Judgoes beloug to the Sixth and Eighteentn Wards, and their offenso is negleat of duty, ‘The repeators did their work atlarge, Eight in- dictments wero roturned into Court during the «isv, fivo agninat repoators, on for forgery, ono {xnmmy‘ and ona for keoping a'common gaming- ouse. TUAT SALARY ORAR, ‘The queation of the present County Treasurer refunding tho £12,000 which his friends decidod in tho Board that bo took without authority as salary for Collector during tho past two yoara, was discussed yeatorday among the members of the Board, Notwithstanding the *'riog" mem- s had refused to allow Mr, Huck anvthing for performing tho dutios of tho sams oflico. to & man thoy bad nothing to sny about Mr. Miller's rofunding what he bad drawn, Baid ono of tuem: *If Mr, Miller is salisfled that he was not entitlod to tho salary ho has drawn, and wants to refund it, I hardly think I shall object. 1 may change my optnion, however," TUE BALARY QUESTION. The Luilding way slivo yesterday with com- plaints st tho reductlon uf palaries. No ono secwed eapocially concerned for himsolf, but all unitod in condemontion of (he discrimimntions that bad boen made, If all had been rednced alike no ono would hava mutterod, but as it is thoy They urge that thio County Board ought to have shown a gaod oxamplo, and commoncod 0n their own salary. One cited tho fact that during tho past yesr the Board bhad drawn £25000 aguinst 212, 0U0 the year previous, and another mado a most oxcollent point to the offect that, whito tho offico of Commiasioner did not occupy thelr attention moro than ono day out of six, it wae strango, If they really meant economy, that thoy charged for ovory doy iu tho yoar, oz~ cepting Bundays, and thon lufiged in a bill of ox- ponece beside. Tho sdvisability of petitioning thoe Citizons' Association to have the Board on- jomned from drawing a groater sum perdiom than 22.60 was discussed during tho day in cortaln quarters, and, if gome such action Intorferos with the salarics of the membors for the prosent quarter, they need not bo astonishad. TI{E REYPONSIDILITY FIXED, Commissionera Busso sud Guenther. of tha Committeo on Equalization, feel aggrieved at tho imputation sought to be' cast upon thom in connoction with the blunders mado in extending tho taxes in the County Clerk’s office for tha Town of Hyde Park. They had something ta say upon tho subject yostorday, and they fix tho blamo for tho errora directly on Mr. Hornnday, ono of Gen, Lieb's doputics. They worked for weeks equalizing the assessment, and finally drow up thoir roport, in which the town in ques- tion was reduced 13 per cent below tho Asses- aor’s valuation. ‘Tho ropart was complete and porfoct, as proof of which la the fact that the same was copied bythe roportera of the morning papers, nod 8§ Xrluwd agroes with tho tax-books a8 corroctod, Aftor tho roportors had taken a copy of the report, the ori f‘ull. the Commis- sloners say, was handed to Horpaday to make a cony to be presented to the Board. They say Horuaday “did the work himself, = and in so doivg substituted 28 for 12 per cont, The copy was handed to the Committes when com- loted, and without examioation was sent to tho ard and adopted, ‘They say the original re- port never camo before tho Board at all, and since giving it to Hornaday they have not been ablo to get it, or even a sight of it, although thoy have Inquired forit soveral times in the post few days. Tho error made in copyiog tho report was cartied, very wvaturally, into the recorts of the Board, and into the oficial pro- ceodings as published, aud, finally, into eight of ll.\:d books of Hyde Park, befors belog discov- ored, From these statoments, which are absolutely corroct, thero is no looger a doubt where the blame for the rediculous error belongs, The Committes on Lqualization is entiroly exonerat- ed, as the unoflicial copies of their rapart, printe od in all tho papera o advance of its being given to the Board, show. Nosw, inssmuch as Gen. Liob says that the poor clerk who mado tho blandor in the singlo South Town book must sustain whatever loss to tho county his naglie Funu Las cansed, it Is simply a mutter of juntice hat bis deputy, Mr. Horoaday, should ba held to tho samo rule, in the larger, more oxpensive, aud less excusable blunder he has made, A BPECIMEN COUNTY DEAL. A specimen county deal was exposed yetter- day ot n Committeo-meoting of tho County Board, Afsw meeks ago It vory suddenly ap- peated to the Buperintendent st tho Inuane- Asylum that a n‘unm-gump TAB DOCOSSATY LO Pro- tect tha county from dumage in the wori on the addition to that institution. No sooner Lad the discovery boen mado than ho came to the city, and nolsed it around fo *Ring" circles, A fow days later, witnouy any authority whatever, Josoph Hagan sent & pump to the institution. B ) tho need of a pump came to tho kuowledge of the proper commitieo of tho Board, and propossls for furnishiug sich a machivons wea wanted were invited. For awhilo but one bid was rocelved, aud a fow mem- bore of the Committes would have romained in 1finvuncu had it uol been that those wao reut 1n the bids complalued they did not receive cousid- eratlon. Among; the complajuauts was the Crano Brothera Manufacturing Company, who fiad sent inabid tofurvish what was wented for #500, "Thetr bid coutd not be found at the time among tberecords, but whon their wmplamty grow more sudiblo the inatrument was found, This was, it sppears, after tho bid imd been banded to Hagan, aud after assurancos hed bewn ree ceivod from him that he could furnigh fust ns %ood & pump for the same moioy, to eay noth- log of tho ono Lie hiad already on tho ground, g{ulwnh-uudmu the great need of the pump, tho ono Hagau wanted to fureb for $500, it appoard, was on the ground several woeks befory tbe Committee took auy sction of any kind. When they did act, which was » fow days ugo, it was on the motion of McCaffrey to purchase the " Hagan pump, if bo would furnish it at $500, sud this in “the faco of s subvequent bld from tho Cranes of $480, made becauso they thouglttheir former biy bad buen mislad.

Perkins, a rivate banker of this city, for tho recovery of a watch which ho had given as secarity for some money borrowed ; accompanying tho watch was & bill'of sale. Tho testimouy showed that Por- kiny had seftled tho mattor eatisfactorily to Oleson, by paving him 330, the watel having beon stolen some timo ago. The case was dig- missed on tho rround that Oleson had failed to pay at the promised tine ; and that the hill of raio ent off all claim tuat ho might bave to the property.
