Just how many bills were found during the day is not known, but two ‘‘no bills” in important cases wecre returned into Court after adjournment. The management of the Jail will be further inquired into to-day, and some important witnesses are ex- prcted. If the session of the jury is prolonged ] Monday sume rich developments are antici- puted. THE CITY-HALL. The first estimate to James Kincaid for mazonry on the substructure of the Milwaukee avenue via- dnct wos issued yesterday. The amount was $6,768. City-Attorney Tuthill has commenced his term of office well by gaining his first verdict yesterday froma jury. The case was that of Simons va. The City and $5,000 damages were asked. Nothing was awarded. The clerks of the Comptroller's office weres little agitated yesterday lest the Council Chamber, which is just overhead, shonld be too crowded and some accident might result, as Tuesday's gathering cracked the wall visibly. The City Treasnrer took in §3,595 yesterday from water-rents, and paid out $25,000 on the city debt. There is at present about $175,000 in the Treasury. rer O'Hzera has not yet returned, and Clinton Briggs hasnot yet taken the hulm. The total receipts from the water taxes for the ear ending April 10, 1876, were g'.'sg,zal.ss. Tor the year previons the amount was §705,926. 64, showing an increae for last year of $82,305.31.

Carter, a former member of the Boord. Not- \eithstanding the disbelief in the statement, the ¢mployes are almost ready to believeanything, and Yocar, thongh why it is not known, that theif situ- £.tons are liable to be taken from them 2t almost imy time. A general fecling of insecurity is ex- Jrerienced by cmployes of all departments , and tbe Lonsequent lack of interest in_ their work is plain. “Fhos state thot such o general hubbub has ‘been §i0ing on that they have come to be tired of it. and {ifc to 3 man hoping for some settlement of the im- pending dificulties, o that peace and harmony may tigain reign in the troubled quarters.

CINCINNATL The White Stockings played their efghth champlonship game of the year yestcrday, and scored their scventh victory. The unpromis- ing weather and the previous rather inferior playing of the Red Stockings had a tendency to reduce the sudicnee, which was composed of shout 2,000 or 2,300 people,—about half the number present at the game of the previous day. - The weather was pleasant in temperature, but so cloudy as to give the impression that there was danger of raln. The wind was & prominent factor in the game, blowing at times a sharp breeze from the west, and carrying nearly all left-tield hits foul. The Chicagos presented their regular team, same as on the previous day, while the visitors made & radical change b plm:lng;\ffl!y Foley Dehind the bat to support Fisher. This promis- ing young {ilnyer piayed afewdgnmcs with the White Stockings last year, and has been for some time well known 85 a firstclass amateur. His engagement with the Reds was made yester- day morning, and in the afternoon he presented himself in good trim for the arduous work of facing Fisher's fast bowling. THE GAME. Spalding, baving lost the toss, sent Burnes to bm.ilxmd in o moment the first inning was ended with a whitewash for each side. Hines led off the batting record with a clean hit to left fleld, and a passed ball gave him second. After Fisher hiad thrown out Spalding at first, Addy hit & fine liner to_right ficld on which Hincs came home. Foley being under the bat and nnused to Fisher's eccentricities, passed another ball, letting Add: around to third, and White's clean left ficld hit gzave him his run. The Reds took nothing better than three foul balls for their share of the inning, Lite being credited with a very fine catchoff c] ‘Anson opened the third inning with a hard hit to Kossler, which so_rattled that player that he over- thresr 1o Gould and let the runner around to third. McVey followed with a driver also to Kessler, and ‘Anson let out for home. Kessler got the ball well enough, but threw slow and badly to home plate, Jetting Anson score, while McVey took first. It having becn settled that Kessler wasa **berry,” Hines followed his two predecessors by hitiing rightat_the unfortundte rhortstop. The vicm ot one hand on_ the ball, but it went through his Bandsasif he were made of paper, and McVey took third, whence be came in on Spalding’a long 1ly to Jones, which was well'taken. Thus two runs were scored without a clean hit. Addy was third out with a fly to Jones, which that worthy ran over Kessler to get. Tn the fourth inning, after the Reds had captured their third successive whitewash, Peters opencd the batting busincss witha clean’ bit, and atonce stole second, aided by Foley's low throw. Having gotten to third he came home o a miss of Fisher's st home-plate, the ball being well tlirown to him by Foley. Glenncame mext with a base hit, but was rus out while trying to steal second by Foley's good throw to Sweasy. With two men out, Earncs came forward with a clean hit, and, getting to tirat, procecded to steal second and to £o to thirdona Passed ball. Flsher scemed unwilling to give AAnson a chance, and the umpirc punished him by sending the_striker to basc on balls. Another ‘passed ball, Foley's third in the jnning, let Barnes Score and gave Anson third, when he came home on McVey's bit fora single. Three runsand oue of them carned. With a score of 7 to O sgainst them, the Reds went in to pull up if possible. Kessler, Booth, and Gonld made clean hits, and the bases were full, when Clack drove 2 bounder to Barnes. It washan- dled cleanly, but in throwing to home-plate to catch Kessler, Barnes sent the ball a little high, and, White having taken that occasion to fall down, two men reached home-plate amid great cheers by thelr friends in the crowd. Jones helped matters by a eafc biy_on which Gould ecored. With Clack at third and Jones trying to steal scc- ond, White made a fast throw to Barnes, and thut instead of ecending the ball back o home-plate, drove it up to Anson and besutitully cut of Clack, who was watching things from an unsafe position. The liberal an ~vigoroue applause for the play was well carned. Jones took third on White's only passed ball of the game, and came home while Snyder was being put outat first. Sweaay ended the innings with a 11y to ‘Addy, four runs having been made and only one earne In the following tuning Sweasy, Gold, and Keselor doubled op Spelding and Addy, thé only play of the kind in the game.

Janc!,int in his bat with a hard and the latter, having a double hit righl at Anson, Elny n mind, didn't stop ooth came home. In the Xullnwhif inning McVey ecored an mn- earned run by a hit to the great nnfortunate, Kess- ler, who seemed to stand one side forit. Hinea tried Booth on with the ssme result, and Spalding making a fair hit 8lled the bages. Addy rolled one off toward Gould which let McVey in, "but the in- nxn;é closed with three men on boses nevertheless. The most amusing eplsode of the game wus in the !lfixhlh inning, when Clack hit a ball at Spalding which bounded off him and into Peters' hands. Bob Shorty was 8 little late and so sent it to Mc- Vey high and wild, but the latter made a beautifal on¢-hand jumping stop, and_gathering up the ball mngh! Clack away from his base.

As usual this year, the Whitea played a close, sharp, fielding zame, snd their record of three errors is one which they have no reason to be ashamed of.

Its Ravages in Bagdad In 1831, [Translated for The Trivune.] The following is a description of the terrfble plague which in 1831 spread desolation in the prov- ince of which the City of Bagdad is the Capital. 1t was written by an eye-witness, the celebrated Italian Doctor Antonictto, and is, at the present time, when the inhabitants of that ill-fated coun- 1ry aro stricken down agaln by thonsands, of more than ordinary interest: . At first, ho writes, *‘the Black Death" (as the natives called it) appeared in one of the suburbs inhabited by the tribe of the Kurds. Two resi- dents of the city, English physicisns, went to the infected quarter, and found in a few hours no less than 400 sufferers. On Dr. Antonietto's remark- ing to them that this mustbe the ‘pest,” these gentlemen replicd, **No; the pest never attacks the neck, whilst these sick people are scvercly suffering In the neck from a kind of inflammation orcroup.” The next day Dr. Antoinetto msde the same remark to the Governor-General, that it was the *‘pest” that had broken out. Dawnd Pasha snswered that it could not be the plague, because the people were all violently suffering from inflam- mation of the neck. Besides, said he, *‘When the pest breaks out, the storks fly away and the jackals couse howling. Neither of these things s bappened.” The Doctor met, a little while fter, the *Alit- achar > (Secreary) of Dawud Pasha. The Secre- tary cried out, **How will this end?™ "** I do not know, " replied the Doctor; ** but I wonld adviso yon to remove the coldicrs at once.” At that timo there was 8 gurrison of 8,000 men in Bagdad. Shrogging his shonlders, and true to his creed, the Turk replied, ** Why remove the troops? What is to happen will happen. The plague soon enfolded the entire city in fts denthly grasp. The survivors refuscd to bury the dend. * The streets were deterted. The Governor- General promised the Amnauta (dwellers in tho country) 200 plastres for every corpse dragged b them to the Tigris and thrown into :Ee water; and, when they came for their pay, it was given them on their own statement as to the number they had thrown into thériver,—the Pasha merely aaying to them, *11 thou hast Tied to me, the in be on thy cad. ‘Thieving Arabs rushed to the doomed city, en- tered the deserted houses, and took what was Jeft. Bt few of these crcaped with their plunder; the plagne overtook thew Atthat time, deathsct in ithin three hours after the attack. Those of the Arabs that escaped carried the plagae with them to tho desert, which was partly inundated. - Fleeing before the waters, hundreds of these wretches hud- dled together on elevated places, to meet 3 death woree than drownipg. Others, more desperate, pushed a fex miles further on, only to perish from unger and expoance. O the garrison, not a sonl cscaped. Dr. Antonietto, with his family, had locked themselyes up in the Quarantine building. After fhey had_eaten all the fresh provisions they had taken with them, they had to live on rice. The building was sitoated on a hill, and they could overlook the scenes of horror which took place in the unhappy city. One day the Doctor war called by o messenger {rom the palace. The Pasha had been stricken down by the pingue. Terror seized the Doctor's soul s he paieed through the deserted streets, gloomily echoing his solitary steps. Nothing was to be seen_but_ corpses in every stage of decomposition, too loathsome to describe, sur- rounded by starving, howling doga. In the palace refgned the silence-of death. Of the women of the harem and thefr glaves, not one had been left! The eervants of the Pasha had deserted bim,—one only remaining faithful, tis chief groom. The horses of the Pasha's stable, unfed and_uncared for, had broken loose and ruehed wildly through the city. ~Alone, ina dark chamber, lay_the once-powerful Governor. The rising floode had partly undermined the castle- walls, which had fallen in, and, in the remaining portions of the building, 'the dend lsy in heaps, spreading an insufferable stench. Tme Docior found in the part of the city inhabited by Chris- tians an old woman who offered to nurse tie Pasha, and, with her help, the Doctor saved him. The Tigris rose on a sudden, sapping the walls o the city, and engulfing many houses i jts floods. Those who bad escaped the plague found s wtery grave. In 1830 tho city walls had not yet been re~ paired. During seven days the waters rose. On the eighth day they began io fall. Dr. Antonictto thinks that some 50,000 peoplo perished. \When the epidemic bad wasted its strength, the Pasha juvited an Arab_tribe to take up thelr abode in the city, the deserted housesiof whichwere given to them for their possession. Whilo the plague wes dofng fts worst, A1l Pasha appeared with an_army before the city, and_began o bombard it. The city remained silent. He was t0ld by the conntry people that the inhabitante and the garrison had dicd, but could only believe it when a negro opened thie gates to him. In 1832 and 1834 the playue reappeared, butins mild form, The great plage of 1831 cAme from Persia, and resched Buziad by way of Sulcimanto and- Kerkuk.

Judge Drummond’s Decision Re- garding the Rockford Road. Hr. Osterberg Gets a Deed on Rather Unsatisfactory Terms. J. Y. Secammon Wins a Victory ---Judgments and New Suits. A motion for {njunction was made yesterday morniug before Judge Farwell in the case of M. F. Tuley vs. The Board of Health and the City Council of Chicago. This was s suit brought to prevent the award of the con- tract for doing the scaveuger work for the city to Dunne & Scanlon on the ground that they were not the lowest bidders, and olso that the city could not in any case let the scavenger work out by contract, but was obliged %o have it done by day work, employing one or more scavengers, as might be necessary. Mr. Tuley first gave an sbstract of the allega- tions made in his bill, and stated the relief he asked. . Mr. Tuthill then, on behalf of the defendants, said that there was not much contest over the acts of the bill, but he did not agree with the fpropositions of law. The amended charter of 1863 provided for the letting of scavenger con- tracts, and the power was delegated to the Board of Health a5 to the manner in which they ehould be made. The Council had the power to make conditions, and they gave the Board of Health the authority to fet such contracts. The uew charter provided that all ordinances in force before its adoption sbould be continued in force, and the new Council, seeing that there was a2 Board of Health in _existence, left it in statu quo, together ~with the ordinances relating to it, and those ordinances were not in contlict with the present charter. Mr. Tuthill then xtated ti:at, when he had been informed of the pendency of the guit, he immedi- ately notified Dr. McVickar, President of the Board of IHealth, who called on him with Dr. Miller. Dr. McVicknr then stated that the facts of the bill wero substantially true; that the contract of Dunme & Scanlon was largely in excess of the bids of other parties, and of tho approprintion mrde by the Councll; and that he did not object to having their contrnct enjoined. e ulso stated that the Board had taken stepa toward bavinz the scavenger work dope bt prescnt by ‘day jobe ~“Io View of those admissions, r. Tuthill eald he did not think it was neccssary to contest the appli- cation for injunction. Dunne & Scanlon had also called on him, and he told them that the affalr was one in which they wercintcrested, and that if they Wished to keep the contract they muei employ counsel to defend their interests. They had done so, and he shonid not defend them. Mr. Tuley then stated the circumstances under which he had filed the bill. He said that Peter Downey came to him and askzed him to bring snit, but he advised him thut suit could not be brought in his name, as It would have the effect of prolong- not ing his term or contract Connsel - then made application to the Citizens' As- Pociation, but was put off, und frally concluded to make a small Citizens' Association of imself and bring suit in his ownname and his own behalf. Judge Farwell therenpon made an order that the Injunction shonld iusue asasked, 5 though no defense had_bcen made, and both parties de- parted satisfied. ROCKFORD, ROCE 1SLAXD & ST. LOUIS. The argument’ on tho application of Teymany Osterbers for a deed of the Rockford, Rock Tsland & St. Louis Railroad was continued 'yesterday be- Yore Judge Drummond. There was aiso a counter- application or mation to striko from the files the stpplemental bill of Mies Jessica E. Hooper aud thé petition of T. J. Robinson, and both matters were argucd together. The Hon. John B. Hawley, of Rock Island, opened the argument on behalf of the bondholders Who object to the delivery of 8 deed to Oeterberg. AAfter citing numerous authorities to show that such a supplemental bill as that of Mies Hooper could be filed, he read some_extracts from the minutes of ameeting of the Committee representing the German bondholders, in Frankfort, in May Jast, when Dr. Fester, the Chairman, stated that they had agreed that the deed and road were to remain in the hands of the Court, as it were, until June, 88 Dbefore o deed conld be made it would be Decessary to appolnt, & committee of ‘administra- tion, and that committee should be selected before sny deed was made, as the regular committee on behalf of the bondholders would not accept the responsibility. To this Osterbers had nssented. r: Hawley urged that it was thus shown that it as not the intention of the committee that Oster- 3r. Crawford then closed the arument on behalf of Osterbers. Jndge Drummond said, in giving hia opinion, that he should not entertaln the motion to strike the supplemental bill and petition from the files, ‘but would hold them for the purpose of protecting any interests the complainants had in the subject matter of the suit. e litigation bad gone so far that it seemed ot present if a deed could be made it onght to be dome. He was inclined to think that e ehould not sflow a deed to be made to Os- terbery in any event except as trustee on bebalf of the parties in Interest. and that it shonld be so_ex- l)ret!ml in the dced. But in no event would he al- ow a deed to be made unless, on inspection of the reports of Osterberg before the Master, he was satis- fied that Osterberz was a proper person to receive, and bad acconnted for the money in his hands. Judge Trumbull 3nd Mr. Crawford, on behalf of Osterberg, ob{ccwd strongly to the condition that the deed should be made to Osterberg as_trustee, eaying that it would do him no good, sahe could not sell the road. 3fr. Hawley and Judge Wilson, however, urged that that was just what they feared, —that Oster- berg would sell the road and leave their clients helpless, and Judge Drummond refused to change his determination. The examination into the reports of Osterberg is oing_on daily before ihe Master, Ar TI. W. Bishop. It will be remembered that the supplemental bill charges, among oiher things, that Osterberz had been putting sbout €10, 000 where it wonld do the most good, by check- ingit ontas interest paid, and sending it to his brother-in-law in New York, snd this matter will receive due atiention. M. Whitehead, the Auditor of the road, was on the witness-stand yes- ferday, and was_examined 28 to the acconnts of Osterberg {rom the time of his taking poseeasion down to April. The examination will be continu- ed to-day. EXIT MB. SCAMMON. The long-drawn-ont bankraptcy proceedings against J. Young Scammon are at, last ended, and Mr. Scammon is free. . petition was filed o few Qdnys ogo to review the order of Judge Blodgett, made over o year ago, dismissing the petition opainst Scammon. 1t was objected by the latter that therc had been laches in filing the petition for review, and that it conld not be now. Judge Drummond declined to allow it to be filed, holding that tbe application was made too late. He' said that the poitioner had mo right to under the circumstances, on his wrt of error being enstained, and If that fafled, then to file a petition for re- view. 1f he had wished to rely on a petition for review he shonld have made the application at the time the writ of czror was taken out, 8o that he could rely on both. The long delay Lad allowed £o many rights of othor partios to intervene be- tween the time of the dismissal of the petition by the District Court and the time when the applica- tlon for review was made, that to sustaun the lat- ter at the prosent time would be attended with Yery serlous consequences, and might work great injustice to ontside parties who had acted on the foith of the dismissal of the bankruptcy pro- ceedings.

IOWA. A Missing Man—Siogular AccHent—A Chicken Casc—State Bar Associstica—The Projected Independent German Paty. Special Correspondence of The Tribuns. Drs Morxes, Is., May 10.—For some fime, 3 man pamed William H. Brown, of this city, hss been missing. He was a soldier during the late War, and presented oue of the most remarzable results of that struggle. He bore the- marka of cighteen Rebel bullets, ome of which pased throngh his hend, destroying one eye, one throtgh his body, and several through his legs and otter parts; yet he recovered from all his wouunds, axd was able to work, and walk with the ald of & cane, —one of the bullets having injured one knee*joint. He was known as **Calamity ™ Brown. He ro- ceived a pension, and was always promptiy on hand to receive it; never missing the day it was due. The sum due March4 has not been called for, which lends to the suspicion that ° HE 13 DEAD. A few days agoa German woman came to the po- lice headquarters and gave notice tbat her grand- danghter. o stepdaughter of Brown, had juet in- formed her that Brown had been Eilled, and that she witnessed the deed. The girlis but 7 years of age. The Chief of Police at once visited the girl, who enid that about a month 8go she was living Brown _came there one eveni stop a1l might, which he agreed todo. She went up-stairs to eieep, and in the night she heard a fracas below. Going down, she £aw Brown on the floor and blood rumning from his head. An ax lay near him. Two men who live in the housc were there. The: removed the body to the cellar, and bareditstand- ingup. When asked why she had not told of it before, she replied she was afraid to doso. She told her story in a truthful, straightforward man- ner. She was bronght before the Police Judge,* and subsequently the Sheriff, when sbte related the ‘same story; and no cross-examination counld elicit any discrepancy or contradiction in her statement. 1t is evident that the little girl belicves what she nys; and - this is further corroborated by the fi 's prandmother, who says that recently shic has been afraid to go out of doors after dack, or to be alone, and this was noticeable before she had told the story. A thorough examination of the premiscs failéd to confirm the girl'setatement. The strongest corroborating circumstance of her story is that Brown disuppeared on or abont the day fixed by the girl. It is the theory of some, that thie girl dream- ed what she states, or may have a premonition of what did transpire elsewhere. Tt will be recollect- ¢d by TuE TRIBUNE readers that, about.two months ago, a portion of the body of u man, partially buried, was found near Boone. The clothes found with the remains were military, such as Brown usnally wore, _An inquest was held, but there was not enough elicited to identify the remains. It is now strongly suspected that the body was that of Brown, that 8 murder has been committed, and that really there is foundation for the little girl's mysterious statement. Mrs. Brown fully believes her story. SINGULAR ACCIDENT. William Brown was going home from Woodburn to Osceola on o passenger-train. He stepped out to the platform, which was wet and slippery. A sudden jerk of the train threw him from the plat- form, snd he struck the axle of & car in theredr, around which he was revolved several times, aus then thrown lengthwise npon the track, when the train passed over bim. He received but slight in- jury, thongh he gays the revolring business on the car-axie made him a little sick to the stomach. It waa 8 wonderfal escape from a horrible death.
