The Lumberman’s Association had a meeting with elosed doors at the Tremont House last evenirg, and transacted business which is no one clse's busiaess, judging from their reluc- tance to have their transactions made known.

The most notable local celebration of the 4th of July will be that given under the auspices of the Second Regiment in the atternoon and evening of this memorable anniversary.

For the rest the Second Regiment hopes to fill out acceptably the remaining part of the exercises. The affair is one whichshould meet with the heartiest encouragement from our ditizens.

THE CITY-HALL. # The City Treasurer's veceipts from the Water Department yesterday were §2,328, The Council Committee w Markets was called to meet yesterday, but 0o obe responded to the call. The City-Hall folks rather objed, to the Ppropo- sition that the Board of Health be removed to the City-Hall. The fear of contagioss diseases is the causc of the objection. The Committee on Railroads, Ald. AJdrich Chairman, met in the City Clerk’s office Fester- day nfbcmotrx_:g and did dnwa&'x;flm a lot of gq 3 etitions, and ordinant e o1%he a1d Counel e 8 e Corporation-Counsel Anthony sald yest that he should move into the o&ce jllzt gse:g\:x{ as the Law Department was transferred to the np-stairs northwest corner of the City-Hall, The old office he called a pig-pen and entirely inconvenient to the courts nudp library and not deeent for decent visitors. Ald. Ballard it secms was not one of those who went to Cincinnati to visit the Buena Vista stone-quarries of Mr. Mueller. The Alderman declined the invitation, and does not desire that his name be used as one of those who went ou the expedition. He does not believe in these excursions and having the host pay all expenses A great many Aldermen said yesterday that they wanted no Council meeflngyllondu’; and that there would glmh:hly be none. leze Fi- pance Committce, however, has “some very important business™ to bring up, and desires that there shall be a full and prompt attendance at 3 p. m. Monday. Notices were issned yester- ddfi c‘f all the members of the Council to that The Board of Pablic Works is much pleased with the efliciency displayed by jts bookhy Messrs. Johnson and Eretman, §aseorneors was paid out about $36,000 to the employes, and the payments were somewhat complicated, owing to the many orders that the laborers had iven to their debtors. Orders came in, “Give ill Smith $1.20 for groceries. Mike Mulloy,” ¢te, ete. After much trouble the pn.gmcnu were all made, and it was probably the hardest ob that has been done in that oignc for years. When the balance -was made out it was Tound that theie was (6 cents missing. Tax-Commissioner Jim McGrath, who keeps & gin-mill just opposite from the City Hall, an- nounces himself us a eandidate for Mayor on an iudependent ticket. It is said that o Demo- cratic candldate will be put up and that Colvin wow't run. Therefore, Jim offers his body for the pickings of political buzzards, who will Jeave nothing but his bones to tell the tale. His an- nouncement is said to be no joke; but his name in conneetion with the office bringe o smile of incredulity and a look of pity for the mistaken notion. - The popular candidate at the City Hall is Mounroe Heath. B The st of July is the day on which the saloon- licenses fall ue, and it was expected that no small amount of money would be taken in trom them. But instead of the $5,000 which was ex- pected, but $1,400 came to light. It Is hoped ihat the publication of the names of those who have had no Heense, and the orders to the police regarding licenses in_general, will resuftina gréater revenue from the beer and whisks-deal- crs of thecity. The list was published yester~ day, and contains about 1,100 names, of which 400 are those of kecpers of unlicensed saloons, the remainder are those of billiard and pool- room keepers. It is considered that the list fully justifics Mayor Colvin's explanation why there are not morc saloon-licenses taken out. His explanation was that people had gone out of the business. 'The total receipts in the Li- censc Department during June were $4,192.24, The Fourth of July will be celebrated in different ways by the clerks in the city’s em- loy. Mostof the oflices will be closed till ednesday morning, according to the resolu- tion adopted by the Council. “The only offices u{pened on Monday will be the City Clerl’s and the Comptroller’s. The Comptroller will keep open to receive the money for the redemption of tax-sale certificates, aud thinks that the Chi- cago people can show thelr patriotism in no better way than by heaping money into the office, so that Frank Barrett will be kept busy packing it away in the vault. The majority of the clerf are lad of a little rest, though they do not look forward to much of 2 jubilation owiugrcos severe stringency in the money market. The public necd have no fear of disorderly conduct arising from drink from the city’s employes, for there is hardly a man, except perchancé the head of some de- artment, who could buy a good-sized glass of eer. Some of the chief oflicials are out of town. Mayor Colvin has gone to St. Paul, fish- g, sery likely. Ci Pt isconsin, and Caspar Butz has gone to port, where he will delight the ussctabled multie tude with an oration on the Fourth. One of the questions that receives much at~ tention just now from the Aldermen is that concerning the removal of the car from South Clark strcet, near Twelfth. It is an old point of contention and has been knocked around in the Council for several years without settlement. The facts are that the people of that vicinity are really anxious to have those tracks removed, for it virtually destroys the street for travel or business, and many accidents have occurred there. It is claimed that the Railroaid Company has plenty of room on its own ground for the tra and that it is a mere matter of tum})omry inconvenicnce and small expenso if the removal shall be made. The citizens are terri~ bly in carnest, and are clamoring to have the street clear for. & horse-railway which they want, to afford easy communication with the city proper and with™ the southwestern part of the city. Several Aldermen talked the thing over yesterday, and all saw the justice of the claims of the people, and their representatives in the Council-—Ald. Sheridan and Sommer. 1t has been considered doubtful whether the order could be carried over tiss Mayor’s veto which has been attached to the bill, bt it is very cer- tain that a strong effort will be made to make the Rmd. ilroad Company yicld to the public de- man ANNOUNCEMENTS. ‘Thomas Hastings lcctures to-night at Tem- perance Hall, on Huron street near Clark, on “The True Path of Irish Independence.” ‘The members of the Highland Association of Tilinois and tFeir fricnds will hold their annnal ‘basket picnic at Wolf Lake, Ind., Tuesday. The regular monthly meeting of the Board of Councillors of the Hospital for Women and Children will be held at the ITospital, corner of Adams and Paulinn streets, Monday at half-past 2 o’clock. g The Church of the Redeetner will be closed from to-day till the first Sunday in September, for repairs. The pastor will preach a discourse this morning upon the contrasts of o hundred years in our national life. The congregation of Christ Church have given expression to their sorrowatthe death of Bishop Cummins by the draping of the whole interior of the edifice with mourning. Bishop Cheney's sermon in the morning will 'be 8 memorial “of the Jate Presiding Bishop. There will be a picnic July 4 at Spring Lawn, near Arlington Ileights, under the “auspices of the Ladics’ Aid Society of St. John’s Episcopal Church.

CRIMINAL. There are four boxes of cigars awaiting a claimant at the Armory. They were taken from a well-known thief arrested last evening. John MeCabe and Jakey Lee, two boys of tender age and bad stealing propensities, are locked up at the Madison Street Station charged with stealing lead pipe. They were found try- ing to dispose of the plunder in the vicinity of Kinzle street bridge. * Early lust evening a young thief named Frank Clifton snatched a pocket-book from the hand of a lady standing on the corner of Madison and Batsted streets. Officer Butler ‘noticed the act, and after a hot pursuit of six blocks suceceded in capturing the fellow, and lodging him in the Madison Strect Station. Ranson @’Arcambol swears that J. Willlams, Wwho has an establishinent on Madison strect near ihe bridge, sold n_sewing-machine and pocketed the moncey, and that it was his (Ranson’s) ma- chine, and that he ncver received the money theretor.

Frank Anderson, a saflor residing at No. 48 Kinzie street, claims to have been knocked down and robbed of $33 yesterday afternoon, in Denis Callahan’s saloon, at the corner of West Water and Kinzie strects. This is the third or fourth case of the kind that has happened in the same vicinity within the past weck, and each time the person robbed has been a suilor, who could illy stand the loss. Yesterday was a baa day for the_vagrants be- fore Justice Summerticld. The Judge wisely thought that these worthless vagabouds were mucli better under lock and key on the Fourth than Wamlerin% around town despoiling respeet- dble people of the day’s enjoyment. Accord- ingly” Thomas Scott, Thomas Mundy, James Morgan, Adelite_Poplin, and Patrick Traynor were sent to the Iouse of Correction for thirty Qays cach, and Daniel Stepliens was awarded a sixty-day term in the same institution. The house of William Phenix, 420 South Oak- ley avenue, was entered by burglurs yesterday marning at 3 o'clock. They tried to enter at one of the front windows, but, failing there, weut around to the kitchen window, which they raised, and entered the kitchen. The door be- tween the kitchen and dining-room-was locked. They tried to unlock it, but, making too much noige, awoke a young lady slecping in a bed- room mnear by, who gavethe alarm. Then the Durzlars ran, Being detected early, nothing ‘was talen. Another neat robbery was planned and ex- ecuted with considerable sucyess yesterday afternoon at the Michizan Southern Depot. Ameng the number awaiting in the depot the starting of the outgoing train, was Mrs. Maria L. Beccher, wife of Judge Beocher, of Adrian, JMich., who had been on a visit, to friends in this city and vicinity. Shortly before the time for starting she stcpped to thie ticket-otlice to par- chase lier ticket, and, in so doing, laid a heavy satche] which she carried down belind her. While busy in making change, a very plain woman passed her and spirited away the satchel, which contained, nmong other things, a magnificent set of cameo jewelry made in kume and pre- sented to Mrs.Beecher by admiring lady friends, o diamond ring valued at $400, and a s¢t of onyx and gold jewelry; making a total value of some $1,100. Besides this, the satchel contained a $1,200 Adrinn school-bond and many other vafuables.. No one who witnessed the theft was able to describe the thief, and Mrs. Beecher, in despair, reported her loss at Central Station. In the afternoon, Detectives Fiynn and Lan- sing, of the Madison Street Station, ran acrossa woman who was making the tour of West-Side awn-shops with a lot of jewelry, and suppos- ing by her appearance that she liad come by it wrongfully, they locked her up in the West Madison Strect Station. Rc&mrflng the arrest at headquarters, they learned of Mrs. Beecher's loss, and at once connected the two threads. The thief was compelled to own up and dis- gorge the stolen property, most of which was found upon her. vs. Beéecher remains over until Tuesday in onder to prosecute her female friend of light fingers, who is registered at the West Mrdison Strect Station as Alrs.

There was little enthusiasin manifested, al- though the programme was a choice one. With | pleasant weather, the next concert will be a greater success. BIFLE MATCH. Yesterdny afternoon, at thelr South Park range, several members of the Chicago Rifle Club shot for the Callaghan prizcs. At stand- ing range, out of a possible 75 the following scores were made: Walter Burnham 62, S, W. Burnham 60, O. C. Blackmer 58, J. W. Roberts 58, H. G. Howe 5, Clark Burnha C. Fuller 52, J. A. Shaffer 51, H. W. S. Cleveland 45, and T. Bradwell 26. The prizes consisted of a num- ber of law books, which were divided into parcels valued as follows: §30, $15, §13.50, $7.50, and $4, and won by the five frst-named individuals. After the prize shooting a prac- tice match was shot, in which Walter inmgum was again victorious. B DRAMATIC ENTERTAINMENT. “Cinderella;” or, The Glass Slipper,” was enacied last cvening by the pupils of Miss Holmes' school. The_attendance was a very large £nd distinguished one, there being many from Chicago. 3 At the close of the performances Mr. E. E. Ryan addressed the audience, presenting Miss B);lmes’ thanks ior the large and interested at- tendance, and stating that the entertainment, by ;peflai request, would be repeated Monday pight. "The personm acted with a sang-froid perfectly ‘wonderful in such young people, and there was nevera hetter-plcased house in Hyde Park. Everybody recognized it as the finest stage pro- ductrljt;n in I{I‘fe Park’s carcer. Much praise is due Miss Holmes for her untiring endeavors and patience, and to the several ladies who ma- terially aided ber. The proceeds are to be do- nated to the repairs of St. Paul’s Church, and a handsome sum will probably be netted for this noble purpose. MINOR MENTION.

Decisions Recently Delivered in Im- portant Chicago Land Cases. Suit Brought Against the Stockholders © of the Commercial Loan * Company. DECISIONS. BOWEN DROTHERS V3. BOND. Some time in 1863 or 1860 the Bowen Brothers purchased about 80 acres of land in Hyde Park, Iying midway between South Chicago-and the Hyde Park Hotel, for about $35,000. As the value of the land increased it excited the desire of former owners to recover it, and as the title was transmitied through an administrator’s sale, it appeared that Mrs. Laura Bond would be the ownmer if that sale had conveyed no title. She thought that the proceed- inzs under which the Court hed ordered that sale were informal and technically wrong. Therefore she brought a suit in the Su- perior Court to recover the land. The Court sustained her view of the case and gave judg- ment in_her favor. From this judgment the Bowens appealed to the Supreme Court, and late Friday night the decision of that Court was filed reversing the decision _of the Superior Court and dismissing - Mrs. Dond’s suit, thus establishing the fact that the Bowens havea perfect title to this land, which is said, even in the present hard times, to be worth nearly or quite $30,000. THE MNAB LAND SUIT. McNab vs. Young et al., another land case ‘which has embarrassed a large number of land- owners in the southern suburbs, is decided in favor of the defendants. The judgment of the Supreme Court is_against Mr. MeNab’s claim, and he is turned out of court. Mr. Justice Craig writes the opinion. DEARBORN STREET. In the Dearborn street assessment case the Supreme Court overrules all the objections but one, viz.: that the assessment is not on con- tiguous property, and says_the city officers ad- mitted .away their case. Wherefore the city is beaten. THE LAST BOSTWICK CASE. Dee. 27, 1872, the heirs of John Bustwick filed a bill in dlmncer)' in the Superior Court, pray- ing the rizht to redcem 160 acres from a mort- rage given by their father to Mark Skinner in May, 1855, to secure the payment of $19,000. Bostwick dled in_ September, 1855, and in 1357 Skinner filed a bill to foreclose this mortgage, and obtained a decree ordering the sale of the land. From the evidence it appears that the land was not in factsold, but was somanipulated that Skiner had to file a bill in Chancery to get himself restored to his title as mortiazec. Th%s was finally accomplished in 1866.” Two married women, daughters of Bostwick, were not parties to the bill for foreclosure, Mean- while, though Bostwitk’s domicile was in Madi- son County, the administrator was_appointed for'him inCook County, and the land was sold by order of Cook County Court for the pa&'ment of debts proved up, amounting to $183. " At the sale the land brought 830, aud a deed was made to the purchaser. The administration was ob- tained by a creditor, and the widow and heirs, living af Alton, testified that they knew nothing of any administration whatever. After Skinner cleared his mortgage title in 1866, be quit-claimed to the - Lolders of the administrator’s title, who conveyed to subscquent purchasers for the value of theland at the time of their purchases. The South Park Commissioncrs bought the north 40 acres for $80,000 and paid forit. The next 40 acres belonged to Judge Robert $. Wil- son, the Rev. Thomas Kinsella, and Samuel Rowe, and those to whom they had sold lots. Charles Busby had bought 78 acres of the south 80 for $80,000. e has sold portions to Phelps, Dodge & Palmer and otliers. Tu the final opinion of the Supreme Court filed yesterday the Judge writes about threc columns of this paper in examining the legal uestions involved in the ecase, and decides that the administrator's sale conveyed the title of the heirs of John Bostwick and that they have no right to redeem from the mortgage because their title is %onc. The Court intimates that if there had beeh anything in the record of the County Court showing that Bost- wick’s domicile of succession Was in_ Madison County, the decision in this case might have been for the heire; but the Court holds gsa matter of luw that tlio rocard of the judgment ordering sale and the presumptious ineldont, Lo it cannot be explained or coutradicted by any evidence outside of the record itself. The case was argued in the Supreme Court in September term, 1874, and in March, 1875, the Judges in conference ordered it redocketed, and that an oral argument be made at Septem- ber term 1875, which was done, and the case has since been held under advisement. The coun- sel for one of the defendants claimed the land to be_worth $1,500,000, a large sum to be saved by a 350 sale. SUPREME CODRT—CENTRAL DIVISION. Special Dispeteh to The Tribune. SPRINGEIELD, IlL, July 1.—Among the list of Supreme Court opinions filed to-layin the office of the Clerk of the Central Grand Division, is the mandamus case against the State Auditor, 8. T. Mayo, of Macoupin, a holder of the famous Macoupin Court-House bouds, filed a petition for a writ to compel the State to register certain refunding bonds which were issucd by the au- thorities of Macoupin County in place of the old Court-House bonds, the issne being at the rate of 75 cents on the dollar of the prlnclfml of the old honds. and ft swas provided by * ike-—-compromise that the new bonds should be registered in the Auditor's office. The Auditor refused to register the bonds, and the decision of the Court holds that he cannot be compelled to register them. The people of Macoupin arc thus prevented from ending their complications by this hoped-for compromise. - TAX CASE. The case of Webster vs. The People, involv- ing the legality of the Sny-Carte levee tax-list remanded.” Webster was s citi- zen of Pike County, and the Sny Lévee Commissioners levied an assessment on his _ property to psy for the benefit to his_farm by the building of the levee. He refused to pay, and resisted the at- tempt to get a judgment in the County Court. Judgment against him was irendered, and the case was taken to' the Circuit Court' of Pike, where the judgment also sustained the legality of the assessment. From that court on appeal was taken here, and the decision of the Supreme Court now reverses the decision of the court below, and remauds the case. A petition will be filed for a rehearing. OPINIONS.
