Work is progressing rapidly on Moody and San- key'snew structure, at the corner of Monroe and Franklin streets, in spite of the heavy rains of the t week. The last wall is almost up; the plers for the iron columns in the rear are all finished. and some of the columne have been put in position. The fron front on Monroe street is ready, and the stone for the second story is being set. Besides all this, the three galleries are completed and nearly ready for the chairs, while there is every probabil- ity that Tueeday evening will sec the roof on. It was thought at one time that the acoustics of the hall would not be of the very best order, but the architect thinks the low ceiling will just snit Mr. Moody's vocal pecaliarities. Alady who wanted a Norman nurse met onc on Wabash avenue yesterday wearing the high, starched cap which'is the badge of her tribe. Her black eyes and hair, and rosy checks, the neatness of her attire, and the elasticity of her step, all con- vinced the lady that she was indeed a treasure. Accordingly she atopped, and sddressing fhe daughter of sunny France in_her purest boarding- school French asked her if she would like another place. ‘Tears came into the eyes of the poor exile On hearing her mative tongué once more 8mORg strangere, and ehe answered in the musical accents of her own Normandy: *‘Phwat the divil's own haythenish gibberish is that ye're afther sphakin’ atall, at all, I dunno?* In accordance with the fnstructions of Supt. Hickey, the patrolmen at the two taanels have been taking notes of the number of foot passengers and vehicles passing throngh the tunnels every 24 hours. The object of the observations was 1o as- sist the Conncil in dctérmining within what hours the tnnnels can be cloged at nizht without incon- venience to the public. At the LaSalle street tun- nel there were 2,015 foot passengers and 528 vehicles between 7a. m. and 7 p. m. The greatest Dumber of foot-passengers went throuzgh the hole under the river between and 7 in the evening, and the least number between 11 and 12 in the morning. The greatest nmber of vebicles passed througt betwéen 4 and 5 p. m., and the least number be- tween 7and 8 . m. At the Washinston street tunnel, doring the same time, the observations showed that there were 2,395 foot-passengers and 1,396 vehicles. The grentest and the least num- ber of paseengers and vehicles went through the tannel at the same hours as noted above in regard {o the LaSalle strect tunnel. From 7 p. m. 10 7 2. m., 207 foot-passengers and 51 vehicles uced the LaSalle street tunnel, and 200 passengers and 34 vehicles the Washington street tunmel. Be- tween 10 p. m. and 5 a.m., 58 foot-passengers and 14 vehicles went througlh the LaSalle street, 2nd 41 pacsengers and mine vehicles through the Washington street tunnel. Avoungman residing on West Adams strect heard that it wasa gznd test of the amiability of a gir] to see how she behaved when the street car she Was on missed the crossing and she hadto get ont into the mud. Accordingly, when he was escort- ing her home from the theatre in the rain on Taes- dny might, he bribed the driver to miss the Aber- deen street crossing, where they were to alight, Dy ten fect or so. When the young woman zot out on the taflrail of the car she said: *‘Dear me! How stupia! The man must e a fool! Can't they hitch the horses to this end of thecar and draw it ‘back so_that Ican get out! If any onehad the spirit of o gentleman he would get out into the mud and push the car back.” Finally she took the number of the car and conductor, and stepped off into the darkness with a splash and a shriek. Then ‘when the young man strove to calm her by repre- senting that such accidents often happened, and the poox driver wasn't to blame, and perhaps he had a wife and 17 children, and 8o on, she replied that the company (her father isa lawyer) had made a contract with fier to carry her to her destination and deliver her there safely, andas long as ehe had the hole in her ticket to produce as evidence she could compel them to falill their contract, Final- 1y the young man explaincd higfinnocent deception aud its object, whereupon she Teplied: **And so it was_you who ruincd my $13 boots, was it? Well, 1 always knew you ywere a fool, but I thousht ou had some sense. - Good might!” And with a jow, mocking laugh that curdled the blood within his veins she kicked off his hat and entered the bouse. Nextmorning the young man got all his presents back, with a note which, as he afterwards said, seemed to have been written with an icicle dipped in liquid fire. THE GERMAN THEATRE. The opening of the German theatre season at the New Ch"ugo"'l‘henlre takes place this evening, and the event ie cansing quite a ripple among the amusement-loving Germans in this city. The in- dications are that the housc will be crowdedto suffocation, a larre number of seats having already been reserved. The piece to be produced on this occasion is_Scribe’s celebrated comedy ‘‘Feen- heende™ (Fairy-bands) and the cast i€ such as to warrant the expectation of the best dramatic rep- rerentative ever witnessed in Chicago. Besides the old favorites, most of the new members of the company will be introduced. Though the compa- 1y was unususlly strung the last scason, and gave eneral gatisfaction, yet the tronpe which Mr. Warster hae engaged for this season is_infinitely stronger, and many feer that the enterprising man- r bad done more than the present times warrant him in doing. There is, however, no reason why the Germans in this city, who are among the most. progressive and wealthy in America, should not be able to maintaina first-class temple of dramatic art. The new lcnflin%hd , Miss Von Stammwitz, has notyet arrived, but 8 on her way here from Furope, and is expected to make her debut in a week or two, She is said to be one of the best and most talented German nctresses Who has_ ever vis- fted-this country, and her wardrobe is said to be gimply immensc. The leading actresses, Misses Von Vietinghoff and Lindermann, who appesr for the firs* time this evening, are aleo -said to be very talented artists, and they will undoubtedly make a good impression. Somé Germans are complaining of the high prices charzed by Mr. Warster, but when they consider that he can produce plays but once o week and has to pey his artists the same sal- ary as if they played every day in the week, there ought to be 1o complaint on that account. WESTERN AVENUE SEWER. A meeting of the properiy-owners interosted in the building or the Western avenue sewer from Harrizon to Twelfth street was held last night in Campbell Hall, corner of West Van Buren street and Campbell avenue, _Mr. E. H. Jeffries presid- ed, and 3r, George W. Reed was Secretary. Messrs.

GAN ARD. Last Thureday evening, St. Patrick's Church, corner of Desplaines and Adams strects, was the scene of the marrisze cercmony between Mr, Ed- ward J. Gannon, of the City Bank of Dallas, Tex., and Mary Eta Ward, daughter of James Ward, “Esq., _Builting shd . Supe ply Agent of the Board of Education, 2n old and most respected citizen of Chicago. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Fatber Con- way, pastor, in the sanctum. The church and altars were brilliantly lighted and_ handsomely decorated ‘with flowers. The attendants on the young couple were Mr. Richard C. Gannon, brother of the groom, and Miss Emily Latteld. Messrs, Charles Ford and Theodore Amberg officiated a8 ushers. Although the wedding was intentionally a strictly family affair, no invitations being issned, the church was filled with toeir mauy friends. After the church ceremony the bridal party drove to the residence of the bride’s parents, 42 South Peoria street, where they partook of dinner, after which they departed for their Southern home. Duiing the evening several congratulary dispatches were received from their many frienda in Texas. Quite 2 number of sonvenirs of adccuion were received, among them a valuable house and lot from the bride’s father, and many valuable articles of goid and silver ware. OBJECTS TO TITE JUDGMENT. ** ASubscriber ™ sent the following directions to TaE TRIBUNE office yesterday: Nct oty Pob Socoreded S10 hak he Ba s P . e had won from ing cards about three Years ag0. Before bt A TRIBUNE reporter called on Justice De Wolf yezterday and learned the facts in the case. Accord- ing to the evidence presented, itappeared that Constable McCauly had loaned a man nsmed John Currier $10. Whether it was three yearsago or not did mot sappear, and it was mnot in evidence that the money had been won at cards. The matter came up simply in_the form of & loan, both parties admitting that they had been playing cards, but there was no evidence that the money s won in gambling. McCauly proved that he Jonned Corrier the inoney, and Currier, while he did not disprose this, ret up the claim that Mc- Cauly had won_$15 or $20 from him in a saloon at cards. No evidence was presented to substantiate this claim. Under the circumstances, Justice De Wolf decided for the Constable. HILDRETH’S RETURN. THE WHY AND THE WHEREFORE. Nothing new transpired in regard to the pardon- ing of the whisky men yesterday. The exiles are hopeful of a release from their wocs, and look up- on it as only a question of time,—and mot & very long time, either. Itisnow understood that At- torney-General Taft, instcad of going to Ohio, as was at first supposed, proceeded to Long Branch to confer with the Chief Executive in regard to the pardons. The whisky men consider their chances good, and look forward to the events thata few days may bring forth. 1t was rumored yesterday that ex-Ald. Hildreth had returned to the scenes of his former joys and sorrows, and, upon tracing the matter out, the ru- mor was found to be true. It is now known that, just before leaving the city, Judge Bangs told a gentleman that Hiidreth would =oon return; that an arrangement had been partially consummated by which Hildreth should come buck, change his plen to guilty, receive a sentencc of six months and & fine, and have a suspension of sentence 30 days to allow him time to secure a pardon. The fine was to be fixed at $3,000, and it was supposed that he would get & pardon about as ensily as did Ald. Cullerton, Judge Bangs wentto Washing- ton, perfected the arrangements, and communicat- ed with Ilildreth's friends in this city, who tele- frnphod the exile, and he arrived in Chicago at a ate hour Friday night. A Tumuxe reporter endeavored to ses the val- fant ex-Alderman last evening, bt the fates were amamst him. He proceeded to the residence of William F. Hildreth, the brother of Demosthenes, and found that gentleman at home. He received -the' emissary cordially, but knew just how far to go in imparting news. . T understand your brother has returned, Mr. Hildreth, * said the reporter. **Yes, eir, he arrived here Friday night late. There was 3 delay on the road or he would have come in earlier, ™ - +¢s hic in the honse now?" ¢Heis.” ¢t Can I see him?" ‘¢ 1 GUESS NOT," replied tho gentleman with a quiet, but meaning, smile. ** Do you know anvthing of the terms wader wlflACh he came back?” +Will you tell me what they aro?"* ““The proper time hias Dot yet arrived.” +¢Does your brother know what the arrange- ment jsf" **No. He has a general idea, of course, but does not know just what the terms are.” *'Who doest” “1 do.” *¢Anyhody else?" e *Who?” “¢ Attorney-General men with him alone.* ¢ HOW DID IT ALL COME ABOUT?" *+WWell, T have been working for my brother ever since he went away. Iwas on & sick-bed then, and am Jaid up now with neuralgia, and the left side of my face is paralyzed. But I was de- termined to do all I conld for my brother, if it took every cent I had and if I was possibly able to get sbout. 1 got two gentlemen here on the Board of Trade interested Wwith me, and they were instra- ‘mental in furtheringmy plans, " ¢ Any objection to stating their names®" #4Yes, sir; the time has not arrived for that.” +43Vell, what elsc huppened _**I made three trips 10 Washington, and the Inst time I was there I made a satisfactory arrangement with the Attorney-Goneral. The arrangement was a eccret, coniidential one. The Board of Trade men do not kow what it wae. They were not al- Jowed to be present when it was made. The At- torney-General and mysclf are the only two per- sous living who know just what the terms were.” +*Will your brother be tricd? **Really, I am not at liberty to sny. this much, however: he has not come back to £queal or to be sent {0 jail. I'd rather see him a corpse than to have him squeal on anybody, even admitting that he has anything to tell, and I don’t know that he has. 1 have o most profound disgust fora equealer. Ihave done, and will do, all<hat is honorable to secure my brother's cscape, bul no brother of mine, no member of my family. shall ever squeal on anybody, and receive my sanction. T'd dieown him, **1f he ncither equeals nor is sent to jail, it looks 1 ‘very mucn as if he would GET OFF WITH PAYING A FINE.” «sWell, sir, 1 can't say any more than¥ have already told you. He will never squeal, and he will never be sent to jail.™ ‘*The story that I heard to-day was that he :vho‘:l‘d be let off with 2 $3,000 fine. ~ Any truth in at?” **Well, sir, Ishall neither contradict nor aflirm any rumors you may have heard. All gorts of ro- mors are fiying about. The Timies had it thot Jim wa going to squeal on eomebody, and nothing could be farther from the truth. I shaill not con- tradict any of thesc rumors, but I would not advise you to publish them. You will know the facts be- fore long.™ The reporter observed that there was no time like the present, but the effort to get Mr. Hildreth to disclose was a failure, and he left the house with the simple negative information that Jim wouldn't squeal and that he wouldn't be ecnt to jail. He was, therefore, 21l the more strong- Iy fortified in the belief that the $3,000 fine story was entitled to the Lest kind of foundation in fact. While Mr. Hildreth declares that he and Mr. Taft alone made the terms, it is known that the cunning gangs not only knew of them, but approved of em. It was learned yesterday that similar arrange- ments have been made wit{ = AUGUST KEWHATS, Hesing's old partner in the Lake-Shore Distilling Company, and Ernst Mattern, the Storekeeper who fizured in the Pahlman and Rush trial. Newhans will come down to the Government to the extent of $3,000, while Mattern, who is only a poor Store- keeper, will suffer-for his misdeeds to the extent of §500. Invicw of the fact that other men have been sent to jail for offenges no worse than these men committed, the average citizen will stand amazed at this diecrimination, and will Do doubt wonder what will happen hoxt. ‘Nenbang and Mattern were telegraphod Friday night that it was safe for them toreturn, and it is altozether probuable that they arc spending a quict. holy Sabbath in Chicago. From this time on they will slecp the sleep of the just in the city which knew them once, but which has been for months past bereft of their society. Sweet are the uses of—grecnbacks. - THE CITY-HALL, ‘Water-rents yesterday were 81,721 License receipts yesterday were about $400. County-Treasurer Hack sent over $80, 000 to the City Treasurer yesterday. City-Treasurer Driggs has gone East to enjoy a short season of rest and pleasure.

A resolution to have the Council meet- ings held in the evening rather than in the after- noon was to have heen considered. 1t was expected that the stand-pipe of the West- Side pamping works wonld have been completed st nicht, but the City Enginecr saya that the pipe will not_be put in place before the last of this week, and then the works will be completed and in running order. . _There i8 now in the hands of the Council Judi- ciary Committee a_resolution calling for the clos- ing of the LaSalle and Washington street tunnels from 10 p. m. to Ga. m., during which time, of course, the 2as would be cxtinguished and a saving mude.’ In order that the advisability might be as- certained, the Mayor has obtained from the police a report showing that between the hours of 9 p. m. and' 6 a. m. the travel is very light indeed, the number of foot passengers being not more than 50, and the number of vehicles not greater than 20. The shutting off of the gus in the tunnels for nine hours every night wonld effect a saving of about £2,500 per year. Smith C. Storer appeared at police headquarters yesterday, and Sapt. Lickey ailized hig VIt to request a texignation from the force. Storer re- fused to resign. The Superintendent then handed him a formal written request. This was unheeded, and lnst of all the hanger-on was_ sumarily dis- missed **for the public good,” his10 days' leave of absence having expired, and no investi- gation having been made. 'Storer_has brought suit for libel agsinst Wilbar F. Storey of the Times, and lays damages at $50,000. Storer evi- dently thought he could retain his position ns Chief of Detectives, and wait for the settlement of the libel suit to establish his guilt or innocence of the charges made againat him by the Zimes.

It was supposed that Mr. Watkins was primed yesterday afternoon with'a conclusive answer, butthe snpposition was found to be incorrect. 1Lle first asked for a delay in order that he might forther consult with the stockholders of the company of which he is the President, but when he found that the Mayor was determined to press the matter, he agreed to make his final statement to-morrow before the hour for the meeling of the Conncil. What the answer will be is not known.

The readers of Tz TRIRUNE may not be aware that a branch of the celebrated Nevada Lying Clab bas been established in Chicago. Friday afternoon a TRIBUNE commissary, hearing of the new organ- ization, vieited a Clark street store to procure 2 suitable disguise. He masqueraded as a fireman, and took 8 Wabush avenne car to Sixteenth street, where he alighted and_commenced his search for the headquarters. After several hours spent in vain search, he a Jast discovered the place. 1t was in a brick building diagonally opposite the Six- teenth street depot, said building being used as an engine-house. Carefully crawling through a window he found the Club balloting for a Preeident, sald oficer to be the member telling the biggest lie. Tue TRIBUNE ‘man selected o position where he could see and not be seen and prepared for the fray. A man weigh- ing about 400, more or less, whom the other mem- bers called Watkins, was relating his lie. *1 was runnin’ on the Middle Division one time, and Loosh Howland was conductor.

Ditcholn - on ‘motion of the Statc's Attorney. Charles W. Rigdon was tried for obtaining money under false pretenscs, but the jury was unable to agree. The great *‘reform’ wave reached the bnilding yesterday, but was by no means welcome. 1t came in the shape of an announcement that all the county employes were to be assessed 10 per cent of their galary for September and October for the ben- efit of Tilden and Hendricks and the great *'re- form" party.

THE BOTHMANN CASE. It is etated that. in the Bothmann murder case, James MeGowan and John Mollory have partly confirmed Haley's statcments. The explanation, which comes rathier late, of the reasons for pre- venting reporters from secing the prisoners is, that the police desired to give the prisoners no op- portunity to hear what each had to say, s0 that no common story could be made up among them to get them out of the trouble. This statement would be entitled to some consideration if it were probable. If the prisoners had decided to make common cause, they would have concocted a story before the law had them within its grip.
