People who have tried to brave it out in the Catskills, and who have belleved the stories of the newspapers and hotel-keepers about the beauties of the soa shore in the autumn, are returning to the city in draves. The Sound steamers are crowded be- youd comfort every trip, and the Fall River ].n_:e, notwithstanding its monster boats, the Bristol and Providence, can accommodate 2,000 people per trip, has been forced to put on its winter-boats to carry the excess of passengers Ofls!lflg. 1t ie no joke for families who have been enjoying the summer to find themselves in an at- mosphere approaching winter. The mights, with thehelp of warm bed-clothing, may be endured, but in the day-time there is not much fun #taying indeors clinging to etoves and_fire-places. Conse- q‘;u'nlly there is a wall and lamentation among those Wwhose living is depiendent upon summer l:alrderl who remain until lgte in" September. People who have been cooped up in smull apart- mests and submitting to various inconvenjences for eight or ten wecks are glad enough to reach home once more.

There is weeping and wailing and goashing of tecth among the unlucky investors in the so- called coal stocks which have lately been so se- verely depressed in Wall strect. Among the victims is 2 widow, who has heretofore felt her- &elf rich beyond the possibility of want. Her hueband was a sirewd real-estate owner, who left at his decease, two years ago, a handeome for- tane in rent-paying real estate eligibly situated. It had been his favorite idea that money in ground was sccare for all time, and that fluctuations in value would regulate themselves, and the proba- Dbility of increase cqualed the poasibility of a de- cresse. However, his fortane was Jeft absolutely to the widow. 1nan evil bour she listenea to the ad of a relative who argued that the decline in real estate was 80 great and a future do- cline so inevitable that it would be good policy to eell her property with a view of buying oilie eat estate when the market touched bottom. She ac- cepted this advice and _converted the properts into casia and wortgages. Then she sold the morigapes to the Mutnal Life Insurance Company, and after a while invested nearly $200,000 in’ cosl-stocks, which then were paying dividends regularly, and were accounted gilt-edge. Over one-balf of this amount was invested in New Jersey Central at 105. Now it is selling at 2814, and the others ata dis- count of 30 to 40 per cent below cost. The widow is in despair. Her advisers are legion fn number, and she lutely sought an entire stranger (through 2 friend) —a Bank-President—and placed the stock 1u his hands, to dispose of or hold. as he thonght ‘best. She i3 at least §150,000 poorer to-day than slie was three months ago. A CURIOUS RESULT OF A LEGACY. Scveral months ago I wrote an account of & young lady who was fiancee of an English gen- tleman who had s0ld out his possessions in Eng- land and came to this country to marry the lady in question and engage in busiuess here. He was takeu sick with typlhoid fever and died in the presence of many friends. He was entirely conscious during his illness, and never a suspicion entered the mind of any who knew him that hie wus incapable of makinga will. He did not make a regular will, but dictated a letterto the lady re- questing ber acceptance of his fortune as his dying gift. Inclosed in the letter was a simple draft on Brown Dros. & Cu. for the amount, which was scveral thousand doflara in This leiter was delivered tu her days before his death, and at his jown suggestion she drew the money and opened an _account in her own nume. ~After his death these facts were duly communicated by a legal genticman of - this city to the relatives of the deceased in Statordshire, Eng- land, and that was the last of it until about fonr weeks ago, when a lawyer called upon the lady and stated thut he was authorized Dby the Telatives to contest her right to the money received from_the deccased, but rather thn commence a lawsuit e was prepared to entertain a rrupml for a compro- mise. She had sense envugh to decline any nego~ tiation, aud referred bim to her own legal adviser. ‘The latter refused to listen to any terms at first, but finally agreed that if a eurrender of all claims upon the part of ail the relatives, snd . _statement that they waivedall forms and technicalities, should be signed within six monthis, bis client would pay 1,000. 1t 13 only one remove from acase of blackmail. and 1t is'doubrful if the papers will ever e completed. * AN EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF REVENGBE. Early in July a fast woman, who has been raiding respectable boarding-houses for several years and getting married and single men us wwell as hersclf into pecks of trouble by her in- trigues and laisons, mavaged to get entrance into a summer hotel near the city. The land- lord received her on what has since proved to be a forged letter of introduction from a merchant, e was not Jong in ascertaining her true character, and ordered her to quit the house. When she left she tsuntingly - remarked: T wil make you sweat day and might for this treatment.” It now uppesrs she wus Jung enough in the hotel 1o throw her toils around the landlord's eldest son—a young man 22 years old, who hiad an cxcellent position and wag on the road to prosperity. ~ Heignored the fact that this artful femule admiricd she was 3 married wom- an, and formed an attachnent for her which she wak not slow to return—in shorl it was, on his part. & case of youthful infatuation for&n adven- turess. 'The sequel is sad and painful. The wom- an plied ber arts upon the young msn 80 success- fully that he was led astray from the path of vir- tae and honesty, and began to scek the woman's s0- ciety whenever he had opportunity. [n 3 brief timé she became his mistress, and, as this sort of thing costs money, the young man 'used all his own funds and then began to rob bis employers. The woman bled him for money constantly, and, driven to despration, he com- mitted forgery in his father's name by _indorsing a check payable to his father's order. This was the crowning infamy. All previous efforts having failed to reclaim him_from this wicked woman's gociety, he was now driven from his own home. In less than two days after the woman decamped and left the young rascal in the furch. He is now haunted by fear of the police, refuses to retarn home, and is 4 wanaerer. The woman boasta that her revenge is complete, —the son is ruined and the landlord's family, bowed down fn grief and S0TrOW. VARIATIONS 'IN SUMMER-HOTEL EXPERIENCES. Now the season is closed, the landlords are counting over their gains and losses, and, not- withstanding the profitsin some cases have been immense, the majority have lost money. ' The Saratoga and Long Branch hotels are ahead largely of last season, especially the latter. Last yearthe Lelands who ran the Ocean House at the Branch were forced to compromise with their creditors,—in fact, the papers openly printed that they hed gome into bamkruptcy. This yeac the Occan House has been crowded most of the season eince July 1, and the lessces have nearly reconpea their former losses, The West End profits are a8id to equal $25,000. The largest return for the capitalinvested has been gathered in at Rocka- way Beach and Coney Island from tramsient visit- ors. The crowds at Rockaway have averaged 8.000 week days and 10,000 on Sunduys, and the bar- rooms. restanrants, and hotels have reaped a golden harvest (if the reccipt of numer- ous® greenbacks can Dbe 2o _designated). The ~Neptume and Seaside Houses are popularly supposed to have made for the season 15,600 each. and several others from $5,000 to .000. The Coney lslumzl tesosts bave for the ime in many years made ** big mouey": the Drodiaa; Cable's, are said o amount to $10.000, Riere are a few others which have made money, but the rest of the landlords tell a dismal story. One_of the largest and finest of the Long Island hotels is in bankruptcy and the losses for the season amount t0 320,000, Several of the Hudson River hotels are cjosed and waiting for the arrival of the Sheriff. One prominent and once popular resort on the Connecticut shore of Loug Island Sound reports a fajlure and loss of $10,000. All along the shores of the Sound the hotels have done oorly. The country bosrding-bouses, ofering Postd ats7 to $10 por week, ~bave riined the hotel business everywhere, excepting Long Branch and Saratoga, around this city. A FLAST-FAILURE EXCITEMENT. The failure of Max Stadler & Co. in this city several weeks ago has attracted public notice within a week from the peculiarly aggravating circumstances surrounding it. At first it was THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1876—SIXTEEN PAGES. make it lively for the members of the firm, and the former efforts to give the concern promi- mence as retail clothiers makes the failure one of unusual interest. The creditors have held several meetings. The labilities are about $600, 00« the available assets are about $450,000. Accord- ingly the Creditors’ Committce nave advised the ac- ceptance of sccured paper at four, eight, twelve, and sixteen months i3 settlement, but now the irm refuses to pay.that amount, and offers 63 cents on the sume terais. 1t s becauscof this refusaland offor that there hasbeensuch a rumpus, An expose of the finn'affairs showed thatthe cash invested onlyeisht months ago was $200,000, of which $50, 060 was cxpended'in extravaesnt store fixturea and fittings, sdvertising, high-priced clerks, etc. They paid $25, - 000 rent per yenar. and undertook to sell goods at a small profit, hoping that the volume of eales would swell the volume of profils. The worst showing, however, was the perzonal expenditares of individ- ual members of the firm. Max Stadler in six months drew in cash over §26,000, and others nearly $10,000, and all this on a losing business, DOW in bnnkmplc?u ‘The failure bas ail the cle- ments of & first-clags frand in it, and the creditors e :&an'ar_lm‘gul)‘ cha tosayingvo.

The ncighborhood of Union Squareis ngi- tated by auother choice bit of scandal, which, if not serious enongh to provoke a duel or other unpleasant consequences likely to lead to pub- licity, at least has the charm of novelty. Itisa case of a blooming actress attached to one of the city theatres, who has conceived an intense infatuation for one of the most popular actors on our city boards. He does not perform in the same tl:eatre ‘and the earliest intimation of this romantic sttachment was an efforw made by the waman to get a positionat the house where the actor was en- gaged. Now the city managers have an under- standiog which, althongh it does mot wmonnt” to & positive legal agrcement, is resarded as o &pint & contract, that they will not engage artists from cach other's em- ploy without firsl investigating the reason why a change is desircd. An onim:ux' actress dis- charged by one manager would find it hard to se- cure an_engagement from any other city theatre. Tu this case”the woman could yive no reason why she wanted Wichange, but conflded the statement toa sister actress that she wished to be near Mr. ——. Ithappens that Mr.— isa marricd man, and, Wwhat is nore, his wife is excessively jeslons of him and of hie attentions to actresses. Not being one of the profession herself, she resonts any flir- tation on her husband's part with unconcealed anger. This story reached her earsin time, and now the lawful wife is a companion to her hus wherever he goes,—to the theatre, home again, down-town, ug~lawn, in fact everywhere. The boys have gothold of the story, and the actor who is¥o jealonsly watched is an object of merriment mingled with sympathy. SOMETHING SHARD IN A BUSINESS LINE. In these days of fraud and rascality it be- hooves business men to be on the qui vive for every dollar they are entitled to. A good story was told by one of the clerks at the Clearing- House a few mornings since, which revealsa neat specimen of sharp practice. I cannot say that it was or was not original, but it deserves mention, evenif itisold. About two weeksago & city merchant held a long overdue claim against a firm on Greenwich street, wnich they had tried in vain to collect for some weeks. That day the mer- chant heard of a suspicious treneaction, that Jed him to believe that the firm contemplated failure, but were not quite ready for it. He took the account and procccded to the firm's store and asked payment. ‘The usual plan of deferring set- tlement was resorted to, when the creditor spoke out quite bravely that e was tired of waiting, and if he did ot receive a check before he left tae store he would instruct hix lawyer to pluce the firm in bankruptey before 8 p. m, The purtners were all )fiurcacm. and professcd to bo quite indignantat rst, but the merchant would not yield, untiiat length he was paid inacheck on the North River Bank. The nmount was $1,380. He proceeded at once to the bank and found, ns he had cxpected, the check was not good for that sum. He inquired the firm's balance and was told it amounted to 075.43. He quickly computed the difference, and, drawing his own check at a neighboring bank, de- pusited the proceeds to the firin’s credit then and there. A second time the firm's check was offered and was paid. The next day the firm snspended puyment, and it was the throwing out of their check ut ' the Clearing-House that gave rise to the story as here told, ANOTHER MAN WITH A HISTORY. This is only one of a bundred storics of the same kind which might be told in this city: Among the habitucs of the Coal Exchange Building is a man about 50 years old, who man- ages to cke out a precarious subsistence by so- liciting orders for cosl from families. He re- coives 5 per cent commission,and regards $2.50a fair day's work. Some days it is far less, and dur- ing the summer months he has been reduced to the verge of starvation. This man was once a prosperous merchant In a Southern city, e has seen the day since the War when his check was good for $100,000, but iR au evil hour he was per- anaded to indorse for a friend, and thereby lost half his property. Hard times' came on. and he mortgaged hie Lomestead and tried to pay his debts. In this he was oagly partially successfzl. His dificultics impaired his health, and_his illness finished his property. Tour years ago lie gave his last cent to his creditors, but was so broken in puree and spirit that be abandoned the ides of re- cuperation in his old hume. Ilis former friends roade up a fund to bring him and his family North. and here he hus been struggling with poverty until it 18 probable tne grave would be & pleasant release to him. Lately he had felt so poor that he has begged half-worn garments from his customers, Hislife ie a burden to him, and in this he repre- sents hundreds of his fellow-suffercrs. WHAT BEFEL A BANE-CASIIER. In the pleasant City of Hoboken the cashier of one of the banks enjoyed the sensation of an adventure which bad au ending somewhat more desirable than the fate of the brave man who dicd defending the bank-vault in Minnesota a few days ngo. The Hoboken cashier is verv fond of rowing, and was taking & moonlight sail Inst week all alone, when a boat suddenly crosscd Dis bow and stopped. As his back was turned to the stranger he did not eee it until there was an in- evitable collision. He could scarcely realize it, but saw that the men in the strange boat were prepar- ing to attack him. One of them grasped hold of his boat and another jumped in and sought to level a pistol at bis head. In an instant he struck the intruder with an oar and knocked him over- board. As this occurred the attention of the mun who beld the bow of the cashier's boat was divert- ea, and, with a second movement of fhe oar. the assaulted man pushed off his boat from his assail- ants, Being un cxpert oarsman he quickly swung Dis own bou around and rowed for dear life. The pirates pursued, but in vain: their boat was heavy and they lost time picking up their balf-drowned comrade. The cashier escaped and notified the police. The detectives have been huuting tlie as- sailants, but thus far in vain, and it is to further the ends of justice that they have kept it out of the papers. THREE THOUSAND NEWSBOYS AND BOOTBLACKS OF A BENDER. One of the most remarkable excursions which have taken placethis scason cameoff onTuesday last. It was a project of Mr. J. H. Harris, owner of several of the river and harbor steam tugs and barges, to give one day of genuine mirth and enjoyment to the thousands of boot- blacks and newsboys who live in this city. Ac- cordingly bie prepared one of his largest double- decked barges, and gave the gamins an open invi- tation. He was amazed by the result. At the wharf, instead of 1,000 or 1,500 whom he bad ex- pected, there were 3,000. Calling in the aid of the police, they mariaged to keep off the worst of the rabble until he could send fora second burge. ‘Fhe two losds were taken in tow by a couple of tugs, and the plan was to take the boys to_a grove on Rantan Lay, #nd let them g£o ashore « - have a good time, but the young rougas i werc so upraly and wild that the Captain did not dare toland. It was on y & m ra- cle that a half-hundred were not drowned by fall- ingoverboard. Their capers were worag thantLosc of & thonsand untamed orang-outangs. ~They climbed oatalde the gasrds, up the flag-sfath on (0p of the pilot-house, on the extreme of the bow along the rails, and tried to jump from one barge to an- other. As it was, only one got overboard, and he wus rescued. . Soon' as they smelt the sandvwiches pre- pared for them, they zobbled them up in u trice, and, in spite of policemen, and crew, and otficers, they invaded the pantry, and secured about 100 exira loaves of hread, which were forthwith used as footballs on the two barges. Th’?‘ pelted the po- licemen as well as each other. The crowd yelled and cheered every passing boat, und received the Lonor of **whistles"™ in return. No landing was mude, but. after sailing the boys around for five hours, they were brouzht back to the city, and landed. Sach a collection of strcet Arabs bas never been seen before, and nobody who saw it once, care to see it again. AN ANTI-TOBACCO LADIES' LEAGUE. 1f there is nothing new under the sun, there is a remarkable effort this year to revive old customs. A lady, while enzaged in passing her time vigorously doing nothing at Saratoga this summer, conceived the idea of trying to enlist her sisters in an organization for suppressiug the use of tobacco among gentlemen in the pres- ence of ladies. She isa well-known society lady, and had succeeded in stopping her husband, in the use of the weed. There was no difficulty in starting it at Saratoga and erc 2% hours had passed she bad the namea of 54 ladies, married and single, who all agreed that they would not tolerate the -use of to- bacco in sny form in their presence, and that they would cut the acquaintance of any masculine who inflicted 1> npon them, husbands of wives present only excepted. It was a complete saccess for about 10 days, when the parties bogan to separate. The new anti-tobacco disciple bas now set her wits to work to apply the eame principle to her own circle of society in New York. She has already had a meeting of 3 selec: few at her home. and has been hardly noticed, but the creditors threaten to | promised the co-operation of & large number of her for the scquaintances. This is very interesting e gentle- ladies, but what will be the effect upon men? THE VICTORIOUS AMERICANE. The International-Centennial rifle match for the championship of the world resulted to-day fna victory for the Americans,’ but it was a narrow escape. Yesterday afternoonm, when it was announced that our boys led at 800 yards by fifteen points, the American heart rejoiced; but when the 900-yards score, and later, when the 1,000-yards score. were announced, und the Americans were nine points behind in -the total of the day's ¥hooting, there Was a general expression of regret. If you will examine yesterday's score you will find it extraordinary. Farwell and Gilder- sleeve, who were the highest at 80D yards, fell all to pieces at 1,000 yards, and were lowest. If they had dome as well at the lsst ns at the first range, victory would bave been ours.: Falton, Who gjvas lowest at the first, was highest at 1,000, The success of the Scotch team yesterdsy made everybody belicve them to be the winners to-day; butalas! next tothe uncertainty of a verdict of a petit jury thereisnoth- ing more uncertain than rifle-ghooting, To-day our ‘boys went up to the head rapidly, and the Scoteh- men, in the critical moment, dropped off to the third place. The Irishmen distinzuished themn- seives to-day, and once more the **luck ™ of the thing was illastrated. ** Unlucky Milner,” as he was called last yearat Dollymount because his score wus 50 low, redeemed himself by making 15 con. sccutive bull's-eyes at 1.000 yards, sn unparalleled feat with the rifle. ‘The American victory Is mak- ing everybody happy to-night excepting the disap- pointed teams. BEAUTY. EXPOSITION GOSSIP. Pithy Paragraphs Concerning the Great Fx- - hibit Near the Lake Shore, A sunny dsy makes & great difference with the Exposition. The broad sunlight coming through the glass roof strikes full upon the pict- uresque display of articles, and lends to them o still more attractive aspect. During the past weck there has been scarcely a half-hour when the sun has shone, until yesterday. - The con- trast between the gloom of the preceding.days and the brightness of yesterday was therefore quite marked, and, to the regular Exposition- zoer, extremely pleasant. All the morning people were streaming into the building. It was a cheap day, the admission fee being reduced to25 centson Saturdays. Very many of the visitors were from the sub- urban towns, though no excursion arrived from any particular place. ' Noticeable, also, were the children, of whom several thousand were pres- ent during the entire day. Saturday beinga holiday with the school children, they improved it by sceing the sights of the great show. The event of yesterday wis the appearance of that famous canine hero, the Fidelity dog. This grizzled and sturdy veteran is henceforth to be a permanent feature of the display. He will receive the visits of old and mew friends at the stand of J. M. Terwilliger, the safe-man. This dog is the noble fellow whose memory s to be handed down to all fair pasterity in connee- tion with fire annals in Chicago. Pent up inthe Fidelity vaults,he lived unscoreked through those blazing hours when all the rest of Chicago top- pled to fiery ruin. Tue fact that these vaults could perfectly protect animallife right through the fiercest conflagration ever known, was natu- rally accepted as permanent, irrefutable evi- nence of their invincibility to flame. Vaults and dog were henceforth famous,—modern types of salamanaers. In connection with the daily Ievees of the dog at the Exposition, tickets of gratuitous admission to the Fidelity establish- ment will be issued to all visitors desirous of inspecting the institution whose name canses burglars to gnash their teeth in impotent rage; whose walls deride the hottest blasts of our old foe, Sir Fire-Fiend. , The display of finished toilets at the Centen- nial, varied and complete as it is, has no single exhibit equal to that of Charles Gossage & Co., at our Exposition. The writer knows whereof be asserts, for, in the course of a prolonged sojourn at the ' Philadelphia Exhibition, he fad frequent oceasion to note theindividual displavs of rich costumes, including those of the most eminent French modistes. Tieshowing here of Messrs."Gossage & Co., in rickness of material, variety and beauty of finish, and exquisite style, excels any similar cxhibit in Phiiadelphia. "We commend it to the attention of all lovers of the beautiful. At the first of our Expositions, representatives of all the piunos made in America had their wares on exhibition. We notice that this year the display has tapered down to two or three firns. * The fact is the Knabe and Bauer pianos have tired all the others out. fn past Ethibl- tions the stands where these were displayed were the centre of attraction to all musicians, and the exhibitors of pianos of other males naturally grew weary of seeing theirown instru- ments negiected, while_crowds flocked around to test and admire the Knabe and Bauer. We hope the day will never come when these noble pianos will not be heard at Chicago Expositions. Art gossip is a most natural atcompaniment of the Exposition. Speaking of art matters, re- minds us that the printing done Ly the National Printing Compauy, Nos. 116 and 118 Fraoklin street, is as true and perfect art-work as can be scen anywhere. This Company excels particu- larly in show-cut printing, its amusement post- ers being the most original and beautiful in the country. The National Printing Company’s reputution rests solelyupon its admirable work, its fidelity, and its promytness of execution. It is hitched to noantiquated newspaper con- cern, and has always depended for its success wholly upon its ability todo th: handsomest printing of all kinds ‘ever seen in the West at the very lowest of prices. .Previous to the advent of this Company in Chicago,—an event which oceurred but a tittle over three years ago, —show-printing was an utterly unknown art here. Now this city asserts and proudly main- tains its supremacy in this direction asin all others, and boasts the largest and best equipped show-printing office in the country, and the one with the most extensive patronage. This is ad- mitted by all Eastern rivals. It no rivals in the West. A visit to the mammoth establish- ment of the Company will well 1epay the curi- ously inclined. _All are welcome. The Elkhart Bugry Manufacturing Company, Eikhart, Ind., are attracting large crowds by their_handsome display of every style of fine buggics. We notice that this bound to win, il low prices will doit. They dis- le_v their prices, plainly marked as follows: nen buewics, 375 to S110; top bugwics, $125 to §165; two-spring phactons, 8150 t¢ $200; three- spring_phaetons, 150 to $215; Cspring phae- tons, $150 to §225. Philadelphia’s show is bigger thin Chicago’s, but the visitor to the Centennial tuds no such pure, healthy, and delicious confettionerv as is obtainable here. There is no Gunther in Phil- adelphia. iy Stop in on your way to the Expostion at the establishment of H. "C. Goodrich, Nos. 16 and 18 Adams street, and see bis ingenjous and in- dispensable sewing-machine attachments in all their varicty and uscfulness.

Cr1caco, Sept. 15.~The posting of Neely's house has created quite a flutter o1 the Board of Trade, and it may be interesting to the pub- lie to know that Henry Parker, son of O. L. Par* ker, the First Assistant Inspector of Grain, wasa partner in the clearing-house of J. H. C. Gross & Co., and thata large amount of the grain bandled by the firm was inspected into the Neely elevator. 1t is evident that the grain in- spected into_this house was not upto grade. Why has the Inspection Department rot made an cxamination and reported to the Board of Trade the condition of the grain in tlis house, instead of waiting for the Board to alvise the Inspector und public?

To the Editor of The Tribune. C11CAGO, Sept. 15.—At half-past 4 this after- noon I noticed four pickpockets on Dearborn street watching ladies gojng to the Public Li- brary. I followed them; and as they followed after two ladies closely up the steps I saw one deliberately pur his hand - imo . one pocket, but he got nothing. I caurht ‘he thief, who, with a comrade, I knocked down :be steps afternoon and evening? If there ‘was, several captures could be made, and other good resuit therefrom. J. ————— WONDERFUL AND BEAUTIFUL. ‘Whoever visits the Exposition and does not examine the beautifol pictures and designs of different kinds on exhibition in front of the grand organ, all made cut of the human ‘hair, fails to sce one of the most interesting'and wonder- ful specimens of art exhibited at the greatshow. One can hardly believe that these beautifal pic- tures, cxcelling oil paintings, are made entirely from human hair; yet it isa Tact. We have not time to minutely describe the lundscapes and figures of different desigus, all the work of Mrs. J. R. Cleveland, of Minnesota, but wish to call the attention of the public.generally tothis wonderful work of art that they may €njoy itas we have. The iron-clad order excluding everything butoil paintings and water colors from the Art- Hall, excludes this from the gallery where it o.lfihl to be, and therefore we wish to call spe- cial attention to this beautiful art, that those Who go to the Exhibition ouly to visit the Art- Hall, and all others, may turn aside and see these exquisitely beautiful thiugs. ——— THE WELL-KNOWN FIRM OF W.
