Early last evening a horse attached to a car- cnter-wagon, owned by Christian Stager, of No. 195 Mohawk strect, ran away at the corner of Dearborn and Ohio streets. Stager, and an- other man whose name is unknown, were thrown out. The former received some severe bruges, and had his left ankle dislocated, and the un- knadwn man sustained severe injuries about the cad. A young man, apparently from the rural dis- tricts, knocked timidly at the toll-bar on the Milwaukee plank road the other day, and, when the guardian asked him what_he wanted, said: * Is this yere Chicago? ™« * You bet it is,” re- plicd the'man. “Is Tim in?" continued the reprecentative of the rural Democracy.

Yesterday's issue of the Saturday Evening Herald completed the firat year's carcer of that enterprise, und the snceess met with in the pe- cular field of journalism covered by it has been decldedly flattering. The theory that Chicago would sistain_a first-class weckly devoted to social topics, literature, art, and amusements, has now become an established fact, and Chit €azo can buast of one of the very best papers of it kind published in the country. A tender-hearted boarding-house keeper on West Washington street, knowing how hard the times arc, and_being desirous of sparing the {celings of such of ier boarders asare in arrears, o longer duns them in the dinning-room after mealf, or in the hall when tbey come in, but has Lliad the foor and walls of thie little hall-room deadened and the windows darkened, and thus is enabled to commercial x%&nc_y them without observing their Ulushesior fetting any one out~ side hear what is going on. “Can I go through to New York on this car without change?” said a passenger to the gen- tlemauly brukeman at the Central depot Jast cvening as the 5:15 Atluntic express was just about to start. “Yes, sir,” replied the brake- man, but when that p'.\.ssenger told the conduc- tor Lie badu’t any change, that bloated monopo- list put him off'at Twenty-second street, and the passenger declared, s0 help him the Ruilroad and” Warehonse Commission, ghe'd bust the Company’s charter for a breach of contract, or know wiiy. The dead-lock in the County Board of Edu- cation still remains unbroken. A meceting was to have been held yesterday afternoon, but a norum could ot be gotten tometker. The resident of the Board was basy _engincering the Democratic Convention, and_ Mr. Gardner Yiad said that he would not be present. Mr. Plaut was on hand, as were also scveral mem- bers of the Wentworlh faction at different times, but he was prepared to take up his hat and walk out at any time to prevent '.Em"z bemy a quornm. The war goes bravely on, and pefther of the clements shows any new signs of relenting. Mr. J. C. Cochrane, architect of the new County Hospital, writes in explanation of the beating and ventilating a{!p:u'nws of the medical pavilions. He cdams that there is no stndy given to an architect €0 severe or critical as the building of & hospital, concerning the architect- ure of which there are as mauy opinions as there are buildings. As to the heating amrange- wents, be claims that two gentlemen of the Committee acrecd that it should be done thirouch the two pavilions, placing the boilersin the buscment, the pavilions 10 be_completed on the 15th of December last. But, by some fault of the contractors, the pavilious Lave only lately bren finished, from which Mr. Cochrane argues that, if the Committee had known of this délay, they would have dirceted differently. There was an immense attendauce at the Ex- position yesterday. Over 30,000 people turned out dunng the day and evening. There were «Icursions from the shburbs, and the city scliools poured out their teachers and pupils to swell the crowd.

Mr. Sabin Smith, the Chicago mansager, has rcturned, and is now engaged, among other things, in looking over these ap- plications, selecting the meritorious ones, and preparing to answer them. The goods for the remaining departments are rapidly coming in, and those departments will be opcned during the coming week.

At times the barkeeper is asked If he has any hot water on yct, and the feeble fily dr:ig'inzw crawling—a precarious existence on the window-pane lears the words of doom with a sickly shudder.

John Hughes, Esq., died. last Friday nizht at his residence in Austin (Cicero) in his' 53d year. The deceased was an old and well-known citizen of Chicago. He was born in Riddle, a village in ‘Wales, and came here in 1853, and was the first regular plumber in the city, making the first connection with the iron pipes when they re- placed the old wooden ducts which supplied water to the citizens, and did all the tapping for the city during several years. He was a promi- pent Mason, memberof the W. B. Warren Lodge, the Apollo Commandery, and the Chi- cago Cousistory. He was one of the most straightforward business men of the city, and hissrlmte life was_without a stain, while his hand was cver ready to relieve the unfortu- nate. His Chicago friends will take the 12 o’clock train from the Wellsstreet depot, Tues= day, and pro-ced to his late residence, where the funeral service will be held at 1 o'clock. The procession will then take carriages for Graceland Cemetery. HOTEL ARRIVALS, DPalmer IHouse—L. H. Davis, Rarrton, N. J.; Lloyd Wheaton, U. S. A.; Samuel Lryan, Pitts® burz: J. T.

HOW ONE OF THE JAMES BROTHERS CIRCUM- VENTED A ST. LOUIS CASHIER. A few days ago about dusk a stranger called at the residence of a bank Cashier in 8t. Louis, and, introducing himself, said he desired some private conversation on business of importance. The Cashier thereupon led him to s private room, gave orders that they were not to be disturbed, seated himself, folded his ears, and desired his mysterious acquaintance to com- municate the object of bhis visit. The man coughed once or twice, then said: “Being the Cashier ofthis here financial insti- tution, of coursc you keep the key of the safe?”? The Cashier said be did. “And you know about the bank robbers that goround and tie and gag Cashicrs and their families, and with pistols at their heads compel them to give up the keys?” ‘The Cashicr said he did. “And yowve heard about the Darcnyort brothers, and the Spiritualists, and things " The Cashier said he had. “ Now," said the stranger, “I've been study- ing up the whole business, and I have found oat how to overcome them.’ “You don’t say s0.”" “Yes, sir. For S5 I will impart to you & eecret which may at some future time save your life and the funds intrusted to your care. I will show you how to untie any series of knots, however complicated; to remove a gag from }our wouth, and, in fact, to set_yourself free. can release mysclf in 2:14%¢, and with a week’s practice il bet that you ¢t show better than three minutes.

There is no need 1o resist and get shot; all you buve to dois to let them tic you up, and, 35 soon as they've taken the key and gone, why you Just let yourself loose amiy give the alarm.’ % . The Cashier said it was a remarkable laven- ion, ““You bet it is," said the inventor, *‘and as I never take any money for it till my customers are satisfied “of my honesty in dealing with them, 'Ll tell you what I do. Just let me g and bind you, aud then I'1) give you simple rections what to do, and if you don‘t unloose yourself in five minutes und exvress your entire satisfaction with the process, I'll give you $10.

The Cashier consented to the arrangerment, ‘Take this $10 bill,” suid the other. “If T fail, you keep it; if you are satisfied, you will re- turn it to me with snou . And ww this is how wewo it 80 e.y.r g hetuuk 4 roil of cord aud a gag from his povkts, and with great dex- terity Lied that Cashier b him Su tuat he couldw’t winl ud 100t dud gagaed _“*Nuw you are tied pretty ficmiy, ain’t you?

James, the notorious irain-robber, and if you doo’t fork over that key in three secouds D’fi cut your throat from ear to ear, 1 beg your pardon you can't, but Pll take it myself. " It’s no trouble,” and, turning that Cashier over on his back like a turtle, he took the key.

So long, sonny,” and with a_conrteous bow ho quitted the apartment and proceeded to the bank, which he rifled as completely and leisurcly a5 if he had been one of the Dircctors. The sad event Las cast a gloom over the community. SOCIETY NOTES. FOXCH—GROSS. Tuesday evening, Mr. F. W.

The Band marched around the room, headed by the Amer- ican flag, notwithstanding that one color there- in is sugeestive of wine in the cup, and after taking their seats in the front row of chairs, the augience, limited perhaps to 200, seated themselves in the rear. The number in- terested was not large, but there were enough to notice the condition of one reporter, who was a perennial applicant for prayers. The excrcises opened with the hymn, *Only an Armor-bearer,” and “Go for the shore, sailor.” Mr. A. Paxton_called the Band to order and called upon the Rev.

He spoke of Scottish children who drank whisky. and said«they were not as bealthy as the children who drank nothing. He had never drank anything nor had his wife.

He reports that, so far as he can learn, the city’s creditis good in the East: so good that he is in favor of putting the new loan, which must be obtained, upon the New York market at 7 per cent interest, and he thinks that such a course would be better than 1‘2,} r':;ise the reguired amount among home cap- The Committee on Streets and Alleys for the South Division metin the City Clerk’s office yesterday afternoon, and decided to report to the Council favorably upon the petition for re- airing the sidewalk on Randolph street from ifth avenue to Market strect. They concluded to report adversely concernizg the filliu;f. grad- ing, and paving of Vernonavenue from Twenty- ninth street to the northern terminus of the avenue. THE COUNTY BUILDING. The County Treasurer yesterday sent $90,000 to the City Treasurer. The building was deserted yesterday in the interest of * Reform * and Democracy. Col. Cleary says he intends to have the new Hospital occupicd 2 week from Tuesday. The Commissioners will visit the Insane Asy- lum Friday cvening, to enjoy themselves in the mazy dance. The County Collector was vesterday informed that parties representing Eastern capitalists to the amouut of $500,000, would the coming week invest that amount in tax-certificates in South Chicago. Levies to satisfy claims for taxes were yes- terday made on the éyro erty of Dr. Earle, No. 87 Park avenue, F. G. 13:115, No. 99 Park ave- nue, and J. F. Maonington, No. 17 LeMoyne street. In cach case custodians were put in charge. e Some time ago a numeronsiy-signed petition was Jaid before the County Board, asking that body to submit the question of abolishing town- ship organization to the people. Nothing has becn done with the petition, and it is highly probable that nothing will be, all of which illus- '.r_:ll.{te's the respect that body has for the public will. * Cabbage " Ryan, arrested s few days ago on anold indictment, was yesterday relcased on bail, R. E. Hoyt and Thomas R. Armstrong becoming bis bondsmen. The officers have very little encouragement to do their duty in the matter of making arrests when such characters are set at larme on such flimsy bail. As for the man Armstrong, an unsatisfied judginent on a bail-bond is_already among the records of the Court, and it is not his fault that there are not more. The arrcst of Ryan was the work of months, and he is among the more noted thieves of the country. The Grand Jury yesterday disposed of a num- berof cases of a petty character, and returned into a court 39 indictments. When the return ’had been made, Mr. Jones, of the jury, asked of the Court whether an indictment once returned could be reconsidered. The Court replied that the question was an_unusual one, and, while he was of the opinion that a return once made was final, e would decido the question to-iorrow. The foreman of the jury said, while the question 'was being broached, that a motion to reconsider a certain_indictment had been brought before the jury, but had not beenentertained. After the Jury had retired the meaning of the movement, ‘was developed by Mr. Swett, one of Sullivan’s attorneys, arising and remarking that the ques- tion had been raised in the interest of Alexan- der Sullivan, indicted for murder the first day of the jury’s session. The influences brought to bear on the jury to induce any one to make a motion to reconsider are not known. ANNOUNCEMENTS. James Warmington is a candidate for Sheriff of this connty. W. B.

Meyer Rothstein and Allie Garland, inmates of the bagnio at No. 538 State strect, who rob- bed Patrick Harten of 120 sovereigns upon his arrival in this city from Ireland, were yesterday held in $3,000 each to the Criminal Court by Justice Summerfleld. Thomas Day flled a complaint with Justice Haines and swore that Patrick.Mulvene was guilty of the crime of arson. The accused was brought, on a requisition, from New York State, and yesterday gave bonds of $250 for a further appearance. 'he crime {8 said to bave been committed in the carly part of 1871. John Sterling,an employe at Mitchell’s livery- stable at No. 838 West Lake street, went into the stable at 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon and assaulted without provocation the man em- ployed to wash carriages. In the melee Sterling was thrown, and had his right leg broken. _He was removed for treatment to the County Hos- pital. Two little boys of doubtful character were brought into the Armory yesterday afternoon upon suspicion of hnviufil stolen a lady’s gold watch and chafn, which they had fn their pos- session. The article is now at the Armory awaiting identification. It is a James Dubois, and has the nmme of “Lizzie Dunkle en- graved on the case. Henry Walker and Edward McNichols were drunk in Ben Allison’s saloon on West Madison street last Friday evening, and so was Mr. Mills, proprictor of thé Union House. Mills was mhgud, and the two other drunkards, coming under suspicion, were arrested by the “Madison street po]R‘u. Walker was discharged, but Mc- Nichols was held over, on very thin evidence, in $500 bail to the Criminal Couft. Simon Peretz, whose arrest for the murder of Jacob Henry was noted in these_columns yes- terday, was escorted to Crown Point, Ind., by officer 'Locbke, of this city, but there it was learned that the murder lad been committed in Ilinois and not in Indiana. Peretz’s lawyer, a fellow named Wrlie, insisted that the officer should let the prisoner go, but inasmuch as Perctz had accompanied him of his own_free will to Indiana, the ofticer thought the dodge thin, and brnué'nt the man back. He is locked upat Central Station awaiting an_investigation of his case, with a view of ascertaining by what authorities he is wanted for the crime. Henry Coburn, Justice of the Peace of the Town of Lyons, was before Justice Foote yes- terday to answer to the charge of rape preferred by a farmer named Pfaff, who lives in Lyons, and whose ndoEtcd daughter, Mary Scherer, was said to have been the object of Coburn’s vio- lence The girl, who is but 13 years of age, and small at that, stated that Sept. 4 she met Co- burnin a field, and ke compelled her to go to o hay-mow with’ him, where he accomplished his purpose. She described the man as tall, and wearing black pants, no coat, and a white shirt. Charles Pfaff swore that the girl had told him that she hed been ravished. Henry Hosmer, an- other witness for the prosecution, added testi- mony of no great import, saying that he had chased a ‘man from the field where the deed hadbeen committed, and that man had on black pants, no coat, and a white shirt. The defense was opened by the aceused, who denied everything in toto, and by his two witnesses, Robert Coburn, son of the accused, and Christo- pher Lynch, o hired man, proved an alibl. The risoner was discharged. Coburn is more than years of age. .. James Ready, the head and front of a snide firm that swas pulled not Iong ago for obtaining gonds under false pretenses, was again takenin y the police yesterday. Notwithstanding the fuct that he s now under heavy bail to_appear at the Criminal Court for his”erimes, he still kept up his swindling speciality. With the as- sistance of Mike O'Shaughnessy and James Londergan, he was running three falsc-stores at No. 339 West Van Buren street, No. 365 West Randolph street, and No. 192 West Lake strect. The case was put in the able hands of Detect- ives Macauley and Stecle, and_yesterday they bagged their entire kit of tools and accouni- books, together with a considerabie amount of £oods which they have obtained upou tick from various firms tiroughout the country. Thus far therc is but one case against them, and that is preferred by L. C. Afraham. of Hartford, Conn., who was duped_into sending them $144 worth'of brushes. Their letter-book and all other accounts were_seized at the time of their arrest, and are to be examined to-day. Un- doubtedly they will show a_ swindling operation that has” covered almost every town in the Northwest, and perhaps in the Union. The oflicers hope to recover a large quantity of leather which they knew was received by Ready & Co., but thus far have not succeeded in get- ting trace of it. CRIMINAL COURT. Engene Skinner and Charles Cook pleaded guilty to larceny, and were given three years each in the Penitentiary. James Wilson pleaded guilty to Jarceny, and was given two years in the Penitentiary.

H. B. Max- well, of Company H, First Regiment Illinois National Guard, has been commissioned as _As- MOODY AND SANKEY. Arrangements of the Tabernacle =The Opening Meeting. Evangelists and Singers Who Will Co- operate With Them. The arrangements for the meeting to be con- ducted by Messrs. Moody and Sankey, in Chica- g0, are rapidly approaching completion. A large new building is being erected for the meetings on Monroe street, between Market and Franklin strects. The dimensions of the building are 190 feet front, trom east to west, on Monroe strect, by 160 feet in depth. It stands on one of the few open spaces now to be seen whore the great fire cleared a path for it- self. Joining its west wall to a new block of stores, but open on its other three sides, be- tween which and the streets on the east and south arc wide unoccupfed spaces of ground,great quictness will be enjoyed even in the very heart of a noisy city. To the main floor there are four wide double entrances, twwo by flights of steps downward from the wide stonc pavements on Monroe street, and two from the south side from the ground level. This floor will be seated with 4,500 chairs. A gallery 40 feet deepextends around three sides of the hall, :sloping at a con- venient angle, and seated with 2,900 chairs. To this gallery there are six entrances, by flights of steps 12 feet wide, entirely separate” from the entrances to the main floor, thus enabling the great hall to be filled or emptied in about five minutes. The hall will completely seat some 8,000 people. The platform ex- tends across the west end of the building, On this will be Mr. Moody’s pulpit. Mr. Sankey's organ, a choir of 300 singers, and seats for 80 city pastors, ministers, and others. The platform entrance is at the northwest cor- ner on Monroc street. The sloping floor of the wide galleries form two ranges of rooms at the 1evel of the street floors, Which will be used for offices, inquiry and committee rooms. There will also be # commodious office on the Monroe street side fitted up for the use of the press. The roof, which is 83 feet high, is sug‘pom:d by heavy posts stmdin% on the eround. The walls_are of brick, the fronts are of iron; it scem to be impossible to construct a great auditorium in which convenience and security should be more perfectly attained. The hall is lighted by two rows of windows along the whole%cngth of the north and south sides. At night it will be well lighted with gas. The heating is by steam. 'The cost of the build- ing when compléted will be about 321,000, Some $15,000 have been already subscribed, and it is roposed to raise the_balance before the meet- ngs begin. . Quite a large additional sum will be necded to defray the expenses of the meet- ings for threc months, which sum it is hoped w-fil be voluntarily given by those in sympathy with the work. TIE MERTINGS will begin Sunday, Oct. 1. A meeting will be held at'8 a. m. for Christians, and a mass-meet- ing at 4 p. m. During the week two daily meetings will be held: one from 12 to 1 o’clock, conducted by Messrs. Moody and Sankey in Farwell Hall, and one at 8 p.m. in the Taber- nacle. The following synopsis of the life of Messrs. Moody and Sankéy may prove of interest: MR. D. L. MOODY was born .in Northfield, Mass., in 1837. His parents were Unitarians. On going to Boston, rhen 18 years of age, he entered Dr. Kirk's Congregational Church, when he was converted, and shortly afterward united himself with that church. 1In 1856 he removed to Chicago, and obtained a position as salesman in a shoe- store. He at once entered into Christtan work, and soon organized the North Market Sunday-school, 1n one of the most des- titate and xorbf:wng parts of the city. So suc- cessful was he in his Christian enterpriscs that he gave up his situation, and since that time he bas given all his time and his energy to Chris- tian work. He has never asked for or received any salary for his work, trusting tye Lord for the supply of his daily wants. During the War, Mr. Moody was one of the most successful workers of the Christian Com- mission in the field, and for most of the time was Chairman of the Chicago branch of that organization. To his effort the Young Men's Clrristian Association owed its building, one of tho first in the country. In 1871, his house, church, and the Association ‘building, as well as the houses of most of those connected with his mission, were destroyed inthe great fire. At once he went to work relieving the wants of the necdy, and a large sum of money was raised by his effort after the excite- meat” all over the country incident to the fire had subsided. The Christian activity now so marked over all the West and Northwest is largely due to the influence of Mr. Moody. MR. IRA D. SANKET was bormn in Edinburgh, Penn., in 1840. He was converted and united with the Clurch when quite young. His first Christian effort was singing in connection with church and ~ Sunday-school work. Removing to Newcastle, he engaged in Christian Assoviation work, and was elected President to the Neweastle Young Men’s Christian Associa- tion. Attending a Christian Association Con- vention of Pennsylvania, his clear ringing voice won the hearts of the delegates, and resufted in his mnkinfi a tour of yisitation to the Associa- tions of the State. Shortly afterward he at- tended an international convention of Chistian Associations at Indianapolis, where Mr. Moody heard him singing at an open-air meeting, an arranged with him to go to Chicago and assist him in his Association and mission work, and since that time the two have always gone together, one sim:ing, while the other preached the Gospel. Mr. Sankey’s voice is a full, soft baritone, improved by care- ful training. "He is simple in bis stylc, free from all attempt at display or cffort, and, by their sweetness and pathos, his songs are irre- sistible. THE WORK of Messrs. Moudy and Sankey in Great Britain and Ircland marked a new era dn religious activities, and the result upon the churches was such as will tell upon all their fature history. In this country their labors during last ivin- terin Philadelphia, New York, and Brooklyn were on a scale such as never had been attempt- ed in this country. In Philadelphia during nine wecks the attendance upon the various meet- ings aggregated considerably over a rmillion, and the nuinber of converts in _each of the othe ers was very large. The church activities gen- crated are still in full progress, and the minis- ters and laymen in these cities, as well as over agur%c extent of country contisuons to it, re- ceived a new impulse in their Christian work. In connection with these i Moody and Sankey,and in vie ligious interest now manifest in all parts of the country, it is proposed at the same. time, in con- junction with local ministers and laymen, to carry on a series of meetings in the Wost and Northwest, on a scale never before attempied. Among thiose who will take part. in this organ. ized effort is Maj, D. W. Whittle, well known in Chicago s a Sunday-school warker and lay preacher, but more rccently asan evangelist specialiy gifted in expounding the Word. In his labors usan evangelist he lias been blessed in building up Chliristians and awakening sinners. Mr. P. P. Bliss is. the singer and song writer, who has written many of the most popular hymns and sacred songs now in usc in America, a5 well as_ over the water, and whosg powerful and well-cultivated voice makes his snxgmg attractive, winning, and impressive. Messrs, Whittle and Bliss have been engaged al- most constantly during the past 10 years in the West and South, and their cv:mzeléfic efforts have been specially owned and blessed of God, Revivals, resulting in the awakening of the churches and the conversion of large numbers, have followed their efforts in Detroit, Louis: ville, snd many other points. .. MR GEORGEC. NEEDIAM, the Irish evangelist and Bible-reader, Is also knnyp to many ministers and Christian people in Chieago. He has been engaged constantly in preacling and Bible-reading in this country dur- ing the last dozen years. His offoris bave been largely in the East and South, and_where known he alwags has large mectings. His lectures of the Types and Sym- bols of the Old Testament, illustrated by large diagrams, are ‘exccedingly interesting and in: structive. As an evangelist, he has been yery successful, and espev My in the South, where marked revivals followed™ his Juectings in dif- fercnt cities. Mr. Needham had just returned from an evangelistic tourin Great ritain, where he sgznt a year preaching to large audiences in all the larger cliies. g r. Georee C.
