An fnstance of the strange reverses of fortuno came £o light yesterday st the Madison Btreet Station. Bunday morning a young girl givin) the namne of Mary Ann Joyce presented herse! st the station in’ the hope: that Justice Beully would he able to tell her where her brother and slater could be found. She was in a very sickl condition, and by the kindnesa of Capt. Ellis was tilowed to occupy a private apartment in the station as long a8’ she chose. Later in the day sho was taken with spasms, and remalned in” a critical condition up to a late hour, Yesterday Justice Beully noticed nn ad- vertisement in Tz Trisoxn for the girl, and vequesting her to call for good news at the Sis- ter of Merey Hospital, Away back in war times her father Nl piaced her In charge of the Sis- ters while ho fought for the flag of the free.

WO MORN PRISONHRS DRFART, Sherift Aguew has been the most unfortupate of officials, snd yesterday added to his troubles, It will be remembered that a fair SBunday morn- ing & few weeks ago fourteen of the fnmates of the Jail boldly marched out withont any trouble, ‘While this was the Jargest dellvery, up to that timo tho escapes had becn numerous, and very casy of nmm‘pltlhmant under the laxity of dis- mg‘ ne and inelficiency of bis subordinates. Xor iustauce, the Jaller.had been known to taka prisoncrs out at night and join them In their mlnrlliy' and agnin, to allow ‘st least one prisoncr, while acrsing olit a sentence, to come and go at his will, and ¢ven to work ly the dl?‘ bia conl-yard mfles away from the jall. Tt v;umttnmugc, then, that yesterday, in broad daylleht, PRANK TALLY AND “ CRAD" BOTLE, two of the gang who rewnu‘y cacaped, and who have since been tried and scatenced to six months each in the {nll, should pick thiough the Jail wall from their celle and galn 4helr liberty! They had besn placed in what Is known ‘as the debtor's de- partment, and locked in cells removed (rom ona another, but, singular to say, both had tho anme facliities for making their oxit. The back of their cells faced cast, and the floors thercof wera on a level with the floor of the {ron bridge by which commmunication s had with the fall and ‘court-room. In the eaat wall of both of the cells was n vcntllmnfiflue made #o that its prerence would not be natlced. By attacking this particular line thelr work wonld be materially expedited, and they would save half theie labor, Once having n lole through the wall thelr cecape was casy, for, al- ter gettiog on the bridge, thelr descent to the ynr&‘lnd tlight without detection were almost certain, Their escape waa discovercd a few minittes af- ter it had been made, and, a8 has usually been the case In the past, by a fellow-prisoner,—this time Jake Rehm. The alarm waszounded when it wos too late to do any good, yet those who had reached the - bullding at the early hour of 8 n'clock were at the fall- yard in time to ece the rope made of sheets upon which the prisoners had descended {rom the bridge to the ¥nrd still swaying to and [ro. In the sbsence of any better amusement, the crowd sct about theorizing as to how the cs- cape had been effected, in which the officers of the jafl jolned, but nothing calculated to throw any light upon the subject was evolved until THE CELLS OF THOSE W]IO IIAD ESCAPED WERE VISITED, ‘There was scen plles of brick and mortar, n bed- stend with its fegs twisted off, and acveral old knives, The apertures {n the wall told the rest of the story, which was abundantly confirmed Ly a visit to the bridge before ment{oned, where was also brick and mortar, At thie court end of the bridge there were further evidences of the work of the escaped men, where an attempt had heen made to pick the wall to pleces toapen the fron door which shut the operatora tempornril from their lberty. "The great question with everybody around was by whom, when, and how had the lioles been made in the wall? The ofli- cers contended that the work had heen DONE PROM THE OUTSIDE, or b¥‘ outside_partles, and in proof of this they pointeid toa few pencil marks on the wall, which they argued indicated that the job had been leisurely lald out by accomplices, This theory was partially sustained by the stories of employes around the building, who safd they had seen parties to work on the wall o few momnents previous, but thought they were tnasons making rcpnlrs, ete. Others” went turther, and” sald that they saw the prisoncrs swinging from the bridge wm thelr_ escape, but dld not know who the were. Numerous other thearies were ndvanced but the fact that the men bad cscaped wns all there was that could bo sustained by any proof, unless it was that the ucupld;by and Incompe- teney of the jail authorities had again been - lustrated, . When the escape eame to the knowledge of the Sherifl ho was nnt a littlo provoked, but ns story was an old ane to himn lie did not tear his hair. The atories and conjectures with which tho crowd hind been regaled were repeated to him with additions of nore or less inmportance, and whe'r‘l 'I’m had had a surfelt he began to set to work Lo APPUENEND 1IS JOARDERS, To this end he seattered lils employes in every dircetion, and soon thereafter reports began to como in that the prisoners had been seen” in vae rious localitics. In the afternoon one of the ndyiees was that Boyle had been eanght lojter- ing In Culvary Cumcmrf'. and Inter he turned up atthe Jall In the custody of Deputy Hummell, and was assigued th cell’ No. 12, The reporters flocked wround him at onco to heur his story, which was brief and, to the authoritles, very unsatisfuctory. Mo denicd that he had Illlll any ald from the outside whatever inhis eseape, and manifested a hesitancy to particularize sbout nn{lhlmr. It was very clear,- however, that if his denfal of belng alded from the out- &lde was truc, that he had nothing of interest to disclose. Up to night-fall nothing had been heard from Tally. Both of the prisoners were under six montha? seutenco for assaulting an officer in their former cscape, and -when they' had served thelir time wers_ to be sentenced one _ year each In the Penitentlary for another offense. ‘They are desperate clinracters, aud the putting ot them Into an uninhabited part of the lnll was injudicious, and pllowed them ol every oppor- tunity that such villalns would erave; henee, thelrlate escape wos no Jess the resuit of crim- Inal carelessness than was.their former one,—a carelessness that tho Sherlfl ought to be satls- fled by this time cannot be provided nginst with hils present corps of assistants. SALARIES, THR PIOCESS OF REDUCTION, ‘That Committee ona reduction of expenses composed of Ald, Cullerton, Stewart, McAuley, Kirk, and Sheridan, held a meeting yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock to hear what the heads of departments had to say why a reduction should or should not be made In thelr departments. The first one to appear before the Committes was Dr, McVickar, of the Board of IHealth, ile wns sure that the Bonrd could not bo run on any more economical plan than that which was shown in the ordinance which wus presented to tho Council not long ago. The Departmont, ho said, lind to bo carried on with o certain degree of efliclency, which would admit of no further reduction than that shove mentioned. BOARD OF EDUGATION, Mr. Plckard, representing the Board of Edu- catlon, satd that reductions in tho Behool De- partmont had already heen made. ‘The salaries of the past year had been reduced 10 per cent in oll cases whero they cxceed $1,000, and the Board had for this year made another reduction of about 13 per cent on all salarics. The pay- rolls for nine months figured up $477,000, which, minus §200,000, the amount recelved from rents, made the cost to the city of the salories §277,- 000, The past reductions amounted to §60%,150, and the proposed one would swell that figure to about $90,000, If it was absolutoly necessary that more muat come it might be done. In “two years snlaries of 22,500 hud been cat down to “$1,800; $1,500 to $1,500; $1,500 Lo §1,200; $1,200 10 81,0005 $1,100 £0°3500; 8000 to §330; §850'to 3700, te.' In re- ply to a question, Mr. Pickard eald_ that there were Th0 1ealliers required to fll the schools;y thirty teachers extra had been employed, but they could go. The contracts expired “in June forall the teachers, and if they came back they would come understanding that reductions had been nade in saluries from 850 to £700. He had talked with teachers and found them willing to work on a reduced salary, with the understanding that it was for the beneflt of the city, fand thut in prosperous thoes the old amounta would be given. In repl{‘ to further Interrogations, it was atat- ed that the pay of Superintendents had been reduced 10 per cent; employes of the Board 10 per cent; teachers about {3 per gent. The vost of ruuning the High Bchool last year was £23,000, and of the “Normal Schivol about $2,700, owlng to the fact that in the latter teucher-puplls were employed, A reduction there of 1,000 could be made next year, CLOSING TI® 110N BCHOOL, 8 Ald. Rirk ssked what the effect would be wers the High 8chool closed: to which Mr, Plckard replied that many scholars, particularly females, were expecting” to take. posltions as teachers, and they would bo deprived of an education ‘which was to support them, Then, s most of the Chleogo s teachers were Chicago High-School graduntes, they worked for smaller salaries, The schoul expenses of Chicago were but oue-half those of Boston or San Francisco; und scveral dollars less per pupll than io Cincinnatl, and smaller even than In Detrolt. The Board of Education had not made use of the appropriations made by tho Council for new bulldings, and probably would not, although they wero large. The Board was ns savi ngn{mulble in every way, and was in perfect sympathy with the Councfl. IOARD OF FUBLIC WOKES, Commmissioner Prindiville, of the Board of Public Works, was next called upon. He was prepared with o document showing the reduc- tions proposed by the Board. The ealaries, per maonth, be sald, ind at one thne amounted to sbout #250,000. The Board had cut that down ‘10 $200,000, and by the paper which he held in his bund they would be cut down to #162,000, They had Jopped off whers it could be " done, an the whole reductio since Jan. 1 were £93,000 fn the monthly pay- rolls, . In speaking of the reduction of the pay of the Board’s bookkeeper, he would say that the salary nvlghmlly was $3,000. The first ro- duction made it $2,800, sud the -present ouu §2,000, He thought that fn so hinportant a posl- tlon, where one man had nearly §1,000,000 a year to pay out, that s guod man should be'em- Blo)'c ‘The bookkeeper ho spoke nlm]\n' the nsible. cet in his line, and perfectly res) Ald.

The report which the Board had prepared showa that the salaries that thy Commlssiouers hnd allowed themeelves were $3,000, helne n reductlon of §700, which s the heaviest cut of all. Al enlarles (or nearly all) are pared off a little, Men drawing #L7x) will hiereafter take $1,500, and the majority of salaries arc cut about correspondingly. 'fhe Board has proposed to discharge from the em- ployes of the City-Hall: one Assistant Engi- necr, at $2,200; one_clerk, $000; two clorks, $1,430; two clerks, #1,1307 ono' clerk, $000} threc Constables, s(,l:lr‘enc 4 onoclerk in the Water Office, $20;" another’ clerk, $600; an- other, $000; onc_Harbor-Master, and another clerks In the Btreet Departwent the head clerk Toses €400, nnd the rest of the cmfilnyrs Average about $200 each, and ouo clerk recelving $1,500 was spared, In the Scwerage Departnient fhe head clerk loses nothing, while the rest will average abont $180 cach, In the Water Asscasment De- partment, the head clerk lases $200, and the test of the clerks, fourteen in number, $150 cach; none are bounced. Under the head of miscellancous employes there (s but littlochange, hut three salaries are cut a little and no hands discharged. 1In the Water-Works (YNorth 8lde} there are but few changes. Most of the small snlarfes are reduced about §125 each, and the West Side Pumping-Warka employes nos num- Der two,—one, at $1,800, being discharged. The exact flgures are: Snlarfes Jan. 1, $200,940; now, £182,500; reduction, $47,440, 1’ ‘must bo borne in mind that the abave figures are merely the reductions as ropoAe h( the Hoard of Publle Works, he Committee and the Councll have yct to gus upon the figures, and changes will proba- ly be made both in figures and men. Ald. Cullerton remarked that the only way to ascertain how to reduce, and how much or iow many, was to go around among the emploves ond aee them work and tatk with them. This the Committee decided to do, and the attention of the meceting was turned to Mr. Shorey, of the PUBLIC LIBRART BOARD who sald_that the Board which he represented Lad made no figures; but he supposed that severnl thousands could be cut out of the $14,700 now pald in salarics, without injury to the Library, He was asked {t he could pregent. a detafled statement at the next meeting of the Committce, = Monday ~forenoon, and he repiied tlint there would be a speclal mecting of the Library Board Saturiay,when the thing would be drawn up, and it could be scen what could be spared, Ald. McCrea sald it was not aguestion, of what they could spare. The city hnd just’ so much money. Tho question was, * Whit must be done?” The Chairman then ealled upon Marshal Ben- ner and Supt. Hickey. MARSTIAL BENNER £ald that the Committee on Fire and Water had had his department under consideration for some time, and he supposcd their action would come up in the Council, Ald. Kirk sald It was so, nnd thought the re- ductions there sould be satisfactory. CHIEP HICKEY was then called on: The Committee on Police had not concluded its Iabors and ho had noth- ing to say, cyen had the Committee timeto hear himy which 1t did not have, it belng timo for the Council, and the meeting adjourncd. THE COUNTY BOARD. . MORE MONEY WANTED, The regular weekly meeting of the County Board was held yesterdsy afternoon, all the members being present except Messrs, Ayars oand Tabor. A number of miscellancous Dbills and com- munications were read and referred, The Finance Committee reported that the bullding fund had been exhausted, and asked Teave to diepose of fire honds to the amount of $100,000, which was granted, CLEARING OUT THE JAIL. The Caminittec on Jall and Jall Accounts re- ported that it was in receipt of o Br(vpmllloyl to clear the County Jall of cockroaches, ledbngs, | and keep it so for one year for £100, nnd recommended that the prn{:mlluun be_aceepted, Mr. Holden sald he wished thu Commitice would submit a propasition to keep the prlson- ers in the jafl. [Laughter.] ‘The Chalr—Two prisoners escaped thls morn- Ing. §om discussion followed on the adoption of the report. Mr. Cleary expreased a deep-seated antipathy for flies nnd musquitocs, and lioped to see them extirpated. The report wus tnally adopted. ) POR RENM'S SARE, Ay, Schnidt offered the following resolution: Resolved, That the room fn the Crimino) Court and Jall building, now used 0a & baillils room, in 1he second story of safd buililing, be, and the samo Is hereby, attuchod to and made o part of the coms mon Jafl of Cook L'l‘mnlr. and the Sherlft of eatd county ia_hercby authorfzed to use sald room for common Jall pucposcs. The resolution led to n spirited discussion, In which Mr, Burdick protested agninst the Bonard further making fools of themselves, cte,, but it was sdopted by a vote of 1) to 4, Mcssrs, Ayars, B‘x;nlh‘k.fluuu, and Holden voting {n the neg- atlve. EQUALIZATION OF TAXLS. Mr. Busse introduced n resolutlon referring the matter of the equalization of nsscssments lor 1876, and all petitions ond complnints con- cerning the, samo to the Committee on Equali- zation, whith was adopted. The same gentle- man ulso fntraduced u resolutlon, which was adupted, to the effect that oll persons feoling agzierieved by the assessment of 1830 might fila their complaints with the County Board at any time before the Board finally acted in the matter of the equalization of nssessments. Mr. Gunther introduced a resolutlon ealling for a report of the extrn work done on the Court-ouse foundation not Included fn the contract of Henry larms, Adopted, Mr. Conly calléd uttention to the existenco of a vacaney [t the ofllee of Constable fu_the Town ot Lemum.‘ and moved that Willtam Cummings e elected by acclamation.

O'IIARA AND IS BONDSMEN, Therohas as yet been no legal actfon taken by the city against the hondsmen of Daufel O'arn, late Clty Treasurcr, to recover the $89,000 which My, O'ldarn failed to turn over In Wis transfer of the ofilce ta Clinton Briggs, Clty ‘Treasurer, though such actlon s daily ex- pected on the order of the Comptroller and the Finance Committee, It s re- garded as all wrong that the money has nat Lieen obtafned and placed in the care of the present occupant of the Treasurer's office. The whole transaction scems bad both on the part of the bank, or J, V. Clarke, jts President, and ex-Freasurer O'Ilarn, who, whun going out uf oflice, mude no explanation at all of the cir- cumstances fn_connectlon with the deposit in the Hibernian Bank other than that the deposit was there; he leaving the Impression that the cush could be drawn out when o demand was mnade. The action of Mr. Clarke Is nat consid- ered honorable to say the least, That he should, by refusing to ;iivn up & deposit of the clty's nioney for which one man ls' personally respon- sible inconvenicnce both the depositor and the city, 1s something not expected from him, - Mr, Clarkesonie time ago made therequest of Treasurer Briggs that the 1libernian Bank be alluwed to take ndvantageof its trust by keep- ing the deposit to secure the payments of clty certitieatea which the bank had, bought np on a shave of 10 per cent. The certificates bear in- terest at 7 per centg which, with the 10 per cent of discount nnkes u profit of over 18 per cent on the pn{mr for the Hibernian Bank, which seems to be unwilliug, even with that profit, to awalt the general payment of the certiticates; which unfalr action greatly troubles the present officinls, Mr, Briggs promptiv refused toagree to any such “action. "Thus the thing stands "ot present. The bank holds the money and the ity wants it, and sult wili probadly soon be begun. O'Hara, It is sald, has enough’ to pay the §52,000. 1t {s thought that the bondemen will pa) it and collect the money from O'Hara, who, by a proper legal courseé, van obtaln satisfaction” from the bank. It has been stated that the money waa still to the credit of O'Haru, and that lic was drawling in- terest on 1, and that that aecounted for the fact that he did not hand over, the time for which the loan waa made not having yet ex- pired. This, however, {s not believed Lo be true, pad et DETECTIVE TYRRELL, TIHAT CIAKGE OF BIGANT. Late Saturday afternoon o woman styling her- sclf Mrs. P. D, Tyrrell entered Justice Kauf- mann'a office, and demanded & warrant for the arrest of Detective Tyrrell, of the United States Beeret Bervice, upon a charge of bigamy. She alleged that her husbaud had married the wife of his dead son, and was )iviug with her on North Clark street. Not'having thne to hear her complaint, sho wes referred by Justico Kapfmunn to Justico Pauleen, and there £ war- rant for adultery was issucd. It wus placed for service in the bands of Serpgt. MeAauley, of the Webster Avenue Statlon, but up to w late hour the warrant had vot been served, In view of the reports regarding Mr, Tyrrell, o TRiBUNE reporter, who knew him as a falthiul ofticer while fn the clty’s service, sought him, and obtained from hiw the folluwing statement concerning the serlous nccusation sgafust him: “1 deuy the truthfulness of the charge alleged ugalust wme o toto. 1was divorced ‘et e SO T e from the woman In question alx gears ago tho 4th of last April.

Cricaco, July 8.—We, the car-drivera of the Chicago City Rallway, would call your attention, since we have no other manner of redress, to the outrageous way the above Company has adopt- ed In regard to giving us time to eat our meals. We have not had for upwards of a year more than cight minutes to eat our meals, We were then nllowed & man to turn our cars and one to change our horses, Now, under tho plea of cutilng down expensea, they have discharged them,'and caus- ing us to drop back elght minutes to change our own liorses,and to turn our own cars, and water our horscs, thereby consuming the extra time in their service, and allowing us not more than five minutes thishot weather to cat n. Now wao ask you in the name ok humanity how a maa who works on the average of fftecn hours per day can, under nn{ cireutnstances, retain his health and Jive with only fifteen minutes to cat three mealsin? Other companics In the city allow thelr men from lialf to three- quarters of an hour to do it in. Our company, when asked why It could not re- lHeve us In some way, issucd the following order: ¢ Let them cat in thebarn,” Sald barn contains a roown about 8 feet square, almost nlways_filled with tobacco-smoke and the floor covered with splt or mavure. Thero is perhiaps no class of men In your vity of whom more is expected than the Chicago City Raflway ex- pects of ts drivers.
