A TuipuNe reputter called upon MIt UDIE RIDDLY, Qeneral Manager of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Roflroad In regard to the difleulty of the road with the locomotlve fircmet. Mr. Riddls stated that all the rail- roads had lately curtalled thelr ex- penses, Lecause the carninga had largely fallen off. Most of the roads Lad mado n gen- eral reduction i the ealarfes of all cniployes from 10 to 25 per cent. The Chlcago & Rock Island Raflroad had been sufering from the stagnation [n business like all other roads, but. not thinking it good polley to make a reduc- tlon {n the ealaries of the men, and thus ring about o reduction of _expenecs, it was decided to discharge all such em- ployes that could bhe spared, and make those who remaln work a little larder. Most raflroad companfes require thelr firemen to wipe oft their englnes when they go back nto 1he round-house, but his road hail been In the hnbit of allowing the firemento goliome as soon as they arrived and extva men employed to clean “the cngines, As tho Rock Island Railroad was g to the firemen from 82 to $12%° a day,—as much as 18 belng paid by any other joad,—ho thooght it but proper that they should hereafter Le re- quired to doa portion of the cleaving of the engine I order to enable the Coumpany to get ridof a large number of cleaners. Ini accord- nnce with this the Master Mechaulc a few duys ago Issued an order requiring flremen to do hereafter o portion of the cleaning and a_ number of the cleancrs were hischarged. The, firemen felt greatly exerelscd about this order aud deelded that they would rebel aguinst it. A committee called upon him the daoy be- fore yesterday and told him he had_to rescind that order or they would strike. Ie replied that lio believed the order to he just and equit- able, and, as the firemen on other roads did not. strike when thelr pay was rednced, he could see no reason why they should strike when thelr pay s lept “up aud ouly a littlo cxtra work fs put upon them. If they, lowever, meant to quit they could do so, as there were thousands of men out of employ- ment who would only be too glad to find work at the time. The Commitice left dissatiafied. Yeaterday morning he was fnformed that a number of the men—not all of them—had etruck, and he gave orders to the muster me- chanl¢ “to give them thelr time at ouce amd hire new men In thelr -places. The Company had no ditHienlty fn finding new and- competent men, and oll the trains left and arrived 'as usunl. ‘The Omaha trainwas detalned fora short time, but this was not on account of the strike, but on aceount of an accldent to a freicht car, which blocked up thetrack. Me. Riddle did not fear any trouble from the strikers, a8 any number of men could be had nt any time. Tho engineera in no way {raternized or sympathized” with - the atrlleers, but attended to thelr dutles cs usual. If the strilcers should, luwever, undertake to block the running of the tralug, the Company would have them arrested and prosecuto them to the full extent of the law. Notrouble s antleipated on (he other roads from the strile of the Hremen on the Chicago, Roek fslaud & Paclile. A TuinuNe revorter ealled yesterday ot the general ofiices of the Michigan Central, the Chivaro, Burlington & Quiney, and the Hilinols Central and woa fn- fopined that nothing in_the way of « strike had yet happened or was likely to bappen.

The all-absorbing queation in stone circles yesterday was the movemesnt on foot to enjoln the Couuty Board from entering into & contract with MeNefl & Son for the Court- Touse job. The Cominlssioners were active gathering counter aflldavlits, and those working in the f{nterest of the Injunction were cor- respondingly industrlous. In the forenoon the antl- RMug ™ members prepared thelr answer to the bill filed by Ald. Dallard, which more than conlirms the ullu%nuonu made against the Bonrd, Perlolat, and Walker hi the upplica- tion for an injunction.” It iz a voluminous documeot, somewhat Inconsistent, and threatens to complicate the proceedings to-day very seriously, The *“Ring' members, too, prepared their wiswer, which is remarkable more for what it says than what (s attempted to be proven. 1t, too, is lenatny, and the two show tiothing more plain than &hat In thoe legal pro- ceedings the lino js to be drawn between the honest’ and dishonest members of the Board ;ustu it has been in the procecdings of tho oard where Walker has been so inysteriously favoreds During the day the Citlzens' Associe- tion manifested sonte interest in the tnjuuction matter by »w.mlln[;l to the aid of Ald.” Ballard Its attorney, Mr, Iferrick, who appears in the nick of time. Upol his coming into tho cose some NEW EVIDENCE waa taken, and this mornlng a supplementary bill will be tiled, much to the annoyance of the “Ring " thieves, who will be entircly unpre- pared for such n move. An effort was™ made to secure an aflidavit from P. L.

Ileis supposed to be second in a knowl- cdge of the plans and purposes of the thieves to Peviolat himself, and to have gained his infor- matlon from numerous metings with the gung in the basement of Alke McDonald’s saloun, where the “Ring™ has so often congregated as to have cansed o room to be fized up for their excluslve accommodation, accessible through a-trap door in the floor of the saloon. The way ha ot intothe confidence of the mob is sald’to be that at an early day in the stone fight lio had motiey to dispise 1n the intorcat of one of the bidders, if not {n bis own, and that {n conseqnience he became [ntimate with Perfolat nnd obtalued contidential relations with the “Ring.” The atory gocs that he was not suc- ccssful in his negotlations, or, in other words, in taking Periolat's place, and that he {s In pos- session of a maas of cvidence. While he refuses to give what he knows to the press and to_have anything to do with the Injunction proceedings, he'ls ready to go bhelore the Grand Jury at uny time and tell what he kuows, whetlier it be much or little, o will, of course, be called when the tlne comes, and i€ he knows half that Is aceredited him he will give tho “Ring"” o belplug haud toward Jollet, TEMPERANCE.

Of the $460,000 realized on the popular loan, £310,000 hmye Leen used In paying past-due salarfes of the eity employes, so there iz now 2120,000 of avallable cash, the reccipta from other gourges befng unavalable for the lmyuu-nt of snlarips. When about 59,000 more har Leen advanced, and the Comptroller and Alnfnr think that it soon will be, the May pay-day will be an- nounced. R Mauy rumors have gone aronnd (rom time to time in_regard to the coming Commissioner of Publie Worlts, and though it Is not at sl cor- tatn that the present Board will be abolished, several names liaye been given out na the com- ing man, Peter Button was mentioned, ns wns also Mr. Carter, an ex-tnetnber of the Board. The Mayor has not yet declured n preference for any one, but will wait tiil the ollices are va- cant before ho will think of fllug them. TheMayorwill not rob the Council tobenefit the rulvllc, and consequently will not state whom hoe hns declded toappolut to fill the vacancles jn the Board of Bducation, That ho has alrendy made up his mind on some of then {s quitecertaln, te- fore making the uppointwient of o {erman, which he decms only just and falr, lie wil con- sitlt some of tho prominent German citizer 1 possible, tho names will bu present- el ut the next mecting of dhe Councll. The Mayor stated to o reporter yesterday that In making his nominations the views of the nominees in regard to the retentfon of the Bi- ble inthe schaols should have no welght with Nim, He intended to keep politica and sectarl- anism out of the schools, ind he sald ha shonld not be swayed In making his appolutments hy the peenliar views whichi the appointecs mighit entertain, It is supposed the appointiuents will be submitted to the Councll Monduy evenlug for conflrmatlon, The Mayor’s proclamation {n rezard ‘to the clearing of the sldewnlks hus caused no amall atnount of flurry among those who lave valun- ble signs in front of their places of hitsines t 18 not to be expected that 1t would be otherwise, and the authorlties nre prepared for ft. The Mnyor and the Corporation Counsel discussed the matter yesterday. Mr. Anthouny is looking up the law and putiing it together for the guld: ance of the pollce, who, a8 sconns the days of grace allowed bfiwlm Mayor have expired,” will sec that the ordinances dre strictly oleyed in all cusen, Scveral gentlomen who have farge and valuable signs have called to aes if they cannot remaln, and they have been told that all signe ralseil In aecordance with the ordinsuce are per- fectly safe; otherwiso they must como down. It scems almost a pity that the large illuniua- tlons which draw custouiers to the many vyster- liouses, szlouns, nlmolln{;-;:ullcrlcs, cie., cte,, should be removeid; but the any posts which block the sidewallis nre the objections, and there can be uo hcl[l for it 3t they vro con- demned. _One gentleman, a jeweler, called on the Law Department yesterday and gald that his slgn, a double-faced clock, cost hlm $1,000, and he thought that 1t should atand, 1fc wiit be treated Tiko ull others.

The Pacific Roads to Bo Remeas- ured by Order of Congress, To Discover Whether the Com- pantes Played Falr with the Government, Singular Developments Attend- ing the Treasury Exodus, Iow Congressmen Provide for Thelr Servants During tho Recess. TIE TREASURY EXODUS. CUIIOUS DEVELOPMENTS, New Yok, 8ept, L.—The Tribune’s Washing- ton speclalsays: A singular hractice on the part of certain Scuators usl tnembers of Con- feess has Just been developed Inconncetfonwith the discharges fu the Treasury Department. “Phere are employed fn the Department and its sevoral bureaus about a hundred women, swhoso dutles are to mweep tha rooms, dust the furni- ture, clean the windows, scrub the marble hall- wnys and stalrs, oud do gencrally what fs called ‘ housekeeping * about the depnrtment. 'Ihiese womien are organized under o lady of re- {finement and standing, and the work alluded to ling been brought to a perfect system. Much of the work {s not of nwnenial character, and may with propricty be done by ladles fu reduced clr- cumstances, The practico has been to wive these places o the widows of soldiers with chils dren or others depending upon them. The Ap- propriation DIl largely reduced the foree, aud in selecting persons for discharge discrimina- tion was mado agalnst those whose circum- stances appeared to be the best, without refer- ence to the influence which secured the appoint. ment, It was in this way that the habits of cer- tain Congressmen were " developed, It appenrs that for years mnn{ members and Senators who keep hotse in Waushington during the sittings of Congress huve been In the habit of sveurlng employment by the Govermment, during the re- cess, of their dumesties, thus saving theirwages and belng sure that thoy will ho on lian when housckeeping Is resumed in the fall In rome cases, coachmen, cooks, chamber- makds, and even nurees, have evenbeen provided for places In the Departments. Tho pay s large, and the duties are light, Buch situatlons are eagerly sought by colored people and the whites of the poorer elass, and {f they cannot be attalued, the next best thing is to go to ser- vice with some fofluential S8enator or” member. At tho end of the seasion of Congiress, the Sena- tor goes to one of the Departments and has hla coachman put upon the rolls, 1le goes to an- othier Department and obtains employment for his couls, or bis nian-scrvant, or for hoth. In one case one Department furnisiied employment for three servants of u Senator at one time. Theso servants do not lose sight of thelr patrons’ in« terests, in the meantime, but take carg of theie houscs, keep the moths out of the farniture, mow the Inwns, watch the stables, and takecare generally of the property left in Washington.! | ** In some caacs, demands have been 1nade for the discharge of soldlers’ widows to make place for the covks, ehambermuids, and nurses of Senators. Congresamen who aro recomized na mitllonaires are mot above demanding that these servants shall be pald by the Goverament, and threatenlug those who may refuse to com- ply with thelr demands.” TIE PACIFIC ROAD, ~ A REMEASUREMENT ORDERED, Spectat Dispatch to The Tribune.
