TRE DVILDING ORDINANCE, An adjoarned meeting of the Common Coun- cil wan held fast ovoning, Prosident Dixon in the chair, Tho purpose of tho mecting was to consider the revised ordinance portaining to the inspection, construction, alteration, ropairing, and removal of buildings, and the storago of combustibles. Tho ordinance, proviously published, was pre- sented, and Ald. Caso moved tho adoption of the document as recommended by the Committees. As Chairman of tho lat ter, he observed that no less than nive meetings had been hold, and tho membera ot the Committees found that it waa s very difi- cult quostion to handle. Ho did not, by aoy moans, claim that tho law, as presented, was entirely perfect; but be thought it wan slaw that mado no discrimination betsoon classor, and was not particularly sevoro upon any clas. It did not begin to bo as sovero as building laws in Now York and other Eastorn citios. If was true that the Committee Lad recaived somo rough usage from the nowspapors and rome of the insurance companies. ‘Tho Enghel compatics sasumed to know moro about tho water-supply and other mattois pertaining tu firo than peopto who lived Lore.

Tho eighth section was smondod by striking ont the phrase: ‘Provided, furthor, tha: any Buch sheds, #0 built, stall be uaed only for tho storage of wood and coal.” ‘Tho reading proceeded to tho eighteenth asc- tion, when Ald. Richardson moved a reconsider ation of the vote whereby the Council was con- sidering tho ordinance section by ecotion. He thought it was botter to pass tho docnment aaa whole, becauso amendments could bo made at apy time, whenever avy eectian, or clause of a section, wag found impracticablo. Ifthe Council attompted to amond, thoy would omit much that was of importance, and make only vory trifling amendments. Ald. Fitzgerald noped tho motion would not be reconsidered, Tho ordinance ought to ba pasaed ‘upon by sections. Ald. Woodman concurred in the Ideas of Ald. Richardson. Tho bill would bo made no better by a hasty considoration. It was best to seo how it wonld work, and then amond sccording to exporionce. The ordinance had bosn yory carefully prepared. Tho previous question was called on Richard- Mies F. E, Willard; Friday, Mrs, 0, B, Alton; Saturday, Mrs. J. W.

In Tax Tomuse of Thuraday attention was called to a complaint which was under investiga tion by the Grand Jory sgainst Sheriff Agnow, charging him with allowing Michael Madden, a prisoner confined in the jail under sentence, to bo attargo on clection-day. Ic was stated that the syidence as to the fact of Madden's being out of jail uoon the day in quostion was conclusive, and that the only question remaining in the dis- position of the cago mas a legal ono as to whoth- er the offense came under tho civil or crimioal statutes. Tho first point to be sottled was whetbor Boc. 208 of the Criminai Code had bearing on tho caso, Bod whether or not he could bo indicted underit. The section provides that “ where 00 special provision shatl baye boen made for the unishment” of such a crime, the poualty shall 6 fine or removal from offico. Judgo Jamesun, to whom tho question had been reforted by the Grand Jury, yesteidsy informod that body that the nection io quostion was withont application for tbe reason that * special provision" had beoo mado by statute for the offense of malfossanco alleged againet Sheriff Agnow. Io referred tho jury to Sec. 90, which is as follows: Ifapy Sheriff, Deputy-Sherif, Coroner, Jailer, or other officer, sball faudulently contrive, ur6, conceal,ald, conn:vo at, or otherwise voluntarily suffer the escape of any convict in his custody, or conceal or sasist any convict after be hasescaped, he shall bo imprisoned tn the Peaitentlary not teas than one nor tore than two yoara, The Court construed the word “escapo” in this section to apply to the absence of a prisoner from jal for apy caitse, excopta legal one, and that it was pot mocessary to establish an ‘'ou- cape” toahowthatit was through negligence, forthe common law presumed as much, Tho opinion of the Conrt was pondered over by the jury, and, while discussing it. tho quea- tion of whether tho word ** voluntarily” in the section roferred to tmplied that tho Sheriff must bavo 8 personal knowledge of such *' cacape,” waa raised. In other words, there waaa doubt in the jury's mind whetbor it was veconsary, noder the statute, to mako the Shorfff criminaliy Tiablo, to prove that tho Nheriff know of, and consented to, the eacope, This tatter question was aubmitted tothe Court and the State's At- tormey, and ao apawer js expected this morning. Tho complawut against the Bhoriff, it appears, was made by tho Citizens’ Association, Tho evidence, so far, has abown that Madden was out of jail on olection-day, and that ho bad pro- viously been tried and convicted of committing an sesanit with intent to do Lodily injury upon. a Mr, Slade, a lumber merchant. ‘fis sonteoco was fixed juat bofore tho cfoction at six montus in the Jail.” 2t further appears that ho wag not only at hborty on cleorion-day, bue that he voted, early and often in the Elgutecath Ward. Aroporter had s conversation with a repre- sentative of the Citizens’ Association yesterday. He said, upon being informed of the oploioa of the Court tirst refercad to above, that the Asso- ciation was in poesossion of countor oploions, aud in the coureo of Lid remarks intimated taat he feared tho jury was inclined to quibble in the matter. Ho further intimated thet tho case of adden was not the only one, and that, as soon agit was disposed af, othor and similar com- plaints would be made. Tho charge in tho Mad- don case ia a very serious one under tho statutes, and the disposition of it n6 affecting the future of the Sheriff will be Jooked to with tho deepest intoroak. es MR. TAYLOR'S LEGACY. Tuor. swina's OFINion oF IT. The Advance, in ita Inst number; has a very sensible editorial on the bequost of the late Mr. ‘Taylor, and the method of itsdisposal. It says: An eatimable citizen has remembared in hie will the publio interente of Chicago. Sir. Taylor, who died Last ‘wook, left in the hands of a group of most trustworthy men shout s half million with which to found some publio charity, We may well bieas the memory of te man, not only for what he thus has done, but for the example he hss left behind him. Too Jong have our men of industry and of commercial power looked u; on thie city as only » market-place where gold {ato acquired, not s city whore money is to be ap- lied to the minds sana souls of men, Too jong leading citizens bare looked to the Atlantic coast for all ¢he humanities, and to the home latitude only for money, Mr, Taylor's tast ‘will and tostament ts almost the first of that kind of parer that bas confessed (he fact that there are living abalf millon people that demsud now,and soon in greater numbers wil) yet moro demand, libraries, arts, saylizaa hospitals, Heriee and great educational fa- clfities, Ithaslong been the advantage of Eaatern cities that their rich citizens living or dying have loved them and bave given large surusto their devol- opment. Chicago has thus far been only atrading-post, sud ita business-mep have been more like transien| People at hotels rather than like hearts happy at ome, Climate, business, riches, cultivated society, aro nuw yoarly making thie city more sclf-aumcient and are culling the chains that bound it to New York and Bos- ton, TI aw generation, not homesick to see New England {6 coming slong, and with this new growth of jocal attachment wo may expect to ace a new growth of the inatitutions that spring from fove of place as well as love of inan. That Mr, Taylor should have le: the bande of a certata group of busin two things, and they ere worthy of th bis property in me iudicatea aught, rat, it fe not eaay for any one mind ving only s business Jife to determine what form of charity would Leip the public most, Many rich men bave fallen luto great error or folly in regard, The woney lost through folly te ost sg largu a sum as the sum lost through avarice, The cecentrio rich wen ie slmoat as unelesa as the stingy mlsor. Mr. Taylar nated men from each of the walks of public ilfe, and quite s jury of them, and out of their sober common aenes he felt that something would oome better than his own beaty (bought might prove. What the Committee will st fast do na ope knows, of course, but that no speurd, no flashy, loud-sounding but hitle-meantug inatitution, will come frous their combined thoughte, all can feel quite well assured, FIRE-ALARM SERVICE. MULTING OF THE GEKCIAL COMMITTEE, ‘Tho Special Committoo on Fire-Alarm Service Uald an adjourned meeting yesterday afternoon fa the City Clerk's oftice, Ald. Ryan, Obairmsp, Dickloson, and Cosy compose the Commuttes, end they were present, Since the leat canfer- noe the Committee bare examined the Fire Alarm and Polico Tolegraph offices and invontl- @atod, to somo extent, tho lines, Bupt. Chandlos, of the Fire-Alarm Depart- mont, Was called before the Committes, and stated, in answer to inquiries, that tho wires of tho city limes wero not in good condition, and did nat think they contd be improved upon much with tho monoy at his command. Tho system was ontiroly wrong ; the wires ought to bo put upon poles, Running tho wires ovor chimneys affected them most decidedly, the smoke from tho cos! causing the injury. Ho did not allow any —swiren. «to bo put across chimney tops, but had brackots for the purpose of putting them on the aides of the chimneys. Thero wore employed ta tho office five operatora and ono batteryman. Tho chiot operator reco:ved $1,900 and the othors $1.60 por que Tho $20,000 appropriaton for boxes would be aufiiciens undor the proeont system, but not if poles were used. A dosultory talk on- ened on tho merits aud demerits of tho no-key box, five of which aro now in use. Tho present wires had boon in uae tralve years; the lito of % miro was ten years. During the building neasoo it was {mpossible to havo the wires inaulatod, Firo-Marahal Bennor was interrogated, Ho ssid ho know tittle about tolegraphy, but had fouad fault on eevoral occnstons with the work. ing of the boxes, and thought the Committes should ace them, Thera woie roverae gongs an some of the circults, and lio had tried to recolvs Ag anaior to n eignal for firo ont, and had fail, Ho bad learned that thoro wad not battery poor enough forthe purpoas, Thore were moie box- enon 4 lino than thero ought to be. The use of TOTETRG LONRS Wan at scouomical mave. There had been great advantage from putting on the tivo additional oporators in tho Fire-Alarm ofiice, and he noticed that alarms were moto prompt. ‘fhero had been delaye of ten to fifteon minutes at ficos in cares whero citizens lad neglected to give alarms. It was also qttto often the caso that policemen who wore trav- cling 8 squaro milo of territory at night woutd bappen to bo a half milo awny from a firc,and davgerous delays in receiving an alarm resnited. Ho had written a communica- tion to Police Supt. Hioxoy on tho sabjoct with aviow to oaving the patrolmen makes caroful report of their whoreabouts, and the time they sent in alarais, ‘Then the gluo-factory fira came in for discus. sion. In answer to Ald. Rvan, tho Marabal ssid he could Lave saved Mr. Wahl's property if he bad received a prompt slarm, In reply to Ald. Cooy, ho said that ho had ruadé a roport on that matior, with Mr. Moore and (ten.
