President Dougias, of thé Iilinois Central Reiliosd Company, arrived from the Ent' yes- terday. A TRIDUNE reporter uflsfl_ upon‘hxm in, the afterncon to ascertain what sction heintend- od to tske in regard to the Iake front, and whether he ntended toputins bid .nnder the resolution passed at the Iast mesting of the Council that the Comptroller should receivenew proposals. g Mr. Douglas stated that the position of his company wa3 correctly et forth in T'ms TRICUNE of lsst Wednesdsy, and there was hardly soy- thing to be added. He ‘had bid for the property the sum of 300,000 time zod again, and the Aldermen were well aware of tho fact that he was willing “to pav that smount at apy time. = All fhe Qouncil needed to do was t0 pass. & resolution suchorizing the Comptroller to accept the $800,000 offered for the property by the Jilivois Central Railrosd: This wounld end tho controversy at once; aud the eroction of a now depot would be commenced next spribg. Tho Aldermen were well aware of the fact thst they could getno such amount from any oue olse. Some one might bid for it for the purpose of selling it to the Railroad Corapanies, but un- der such circumstances the gailronds would ot want 1tat all. Whoever bought the proporty ran the risk of endless litigabion in regard 1o itg title, eto. Besides the Iilinois Central Railroad would in case the perty was s0ld o ao out- side party contest the matter 1n the Courts, as the ,property bad been virtually sold. to them by the Council some years g0, and part payment on the same accepted by ihe Comptrolier, Mr. Walter Kim- ball, who had still the $67.800 puid by ths i~ nois Central Railroad in bis_possession, When the iujunotion against the salo of the lake front was issued, tbe part paymeot bad alresdy been accepted. and the salo consummated, and hence his Company had a right to the property. The report made by the special Comuittos at the last meeting oZ the Council was entirely un- warrsnted. 'The Commitiee was appointed to confer with the railroad companies, aad not the railrosd conpanies to confor with them. 1If the Comunittee eaid that he refused to meet them, or tbat he gave them no chauce to sce bim, they stated what thoy know to be incorrect. If they hsd any new propositiou to make, they knew whers he was to be found, and ho fisd waited for thém day after day. The Committes rodoubtedly expected that ho wonld sce them, and, because Do did uot, they reported as they did. Mr. Jionglss wishes it to be emphatically understood that the Illinois Central Bailroad is resdy and miling to take the Iake front for the 800,090, which it has bid for it before, but under no circumstances would be consent to have ono cent epent besides tho regular pur- chase money. If he could.mot have the lake front at & far and s%uua bargain be would not huve it at all. Ho did not believe the Common Council would dare to sell the properts for less money than he had alieady offered tor it. il TELEGRAPH WIRES. PLACING THEM GNDEBGBOTND. The City Coupcil Committee on Fire and Water held an important meeting yesterday fterncon, in ghe Committes room cf tne City- Hall, and their asction is likely to create a stir among the heads of the rad- road snd general telegraph managers. Aldermen Cese, B. B. Stooe, snd Wood- map, of the Committee, aud Ald. Cullerton, were present. The latter, some time ago, intro- duced in the Council an ordiosnce the provisions of which required that all telograph wires and poles bo romoved from tbe streets and house- tops, and the wires placed underground. Fire ilarshal Benner was called before the Commitsce. and stated that the present system of rucning wires on poles wasa setious ob- scruction to the operatious of the Fire Depart- ment at firesin the large buildivgs. Hoe said tbere wero two sets of poles on someof the principal thorougfares, aod sirang ucon them were <hirty or torty wires, forming a perfect feace in frous of tae iargost. business blocks, and an 2imost impassaole bar:ier to the raising of large lagders 1n case of fire, and preveuting the use of the Skinper_elevazor. He citea tue late fire in the Welcn Block, on Cansl streat, where the net-work of wires prevented him from usmug the hose-ciesator, and he was loth to cat the wires becauso of the damsage it might cause the public and the companies. He snzgested o the Lom- mittee that some steps be tuken to remove the osstruclious Bs 800N 18 practicable. 'Ald. Woodman sirongly favored the removal of the wites and poles from streets, aud sug- gested (bat tuav taey might be placed in the al.ey ways, without serivus interference with the firewen and the puble. 5 Ald.

COMMIBSIONER HOYXE. It was noted i & former issue that Mr. P. W. ‘Wetdemaaon, a cigar aud tol merchant in & small way at No. S Ruash street, had resisted Bome reveaus oflicers when they sought to in- spect his place of busipess in sesroh of uncan- celled revenue stamps. The sequel to the story came yesterday, when the continuation of the testimony in Weidemaon's csse waa heard befors Commissionst Hoyne. The factsas to the as- sauit were corroboratsd by another witbess; snd, in additio, it was shown that when the officers did get an entrauce into Weidemann's place, they found s considerabls number of packages with revenue stamps on, and nons of them erased. Whether this was the result of l;{ulam of defrauding the Government or not will more clearly appear when Weidemann has hia trial. At the examination, the Commissioner gave the Governmant the benefit of the doabt, and held Weidemann in $2,000 bail to auswer tho charge of resistivg a revenue officar in thg dis- charge of his duty; and in $2,000 additioval for baving in his possession emrty packages on which were unerased stamps, in defiance of law. The Commissioner also Leard the case of Alex. Bweeney, who was shown to have passed upon a Granger from Will County a 310 and a $5 bill, both being comnterfeits. The evidence did not show with clearacss :hat Sweeney knew that the billa were counterteit, and he was ao- cordingly discharged. T e ANNOUNCEMENTS.
