Wilson has issued a circular {o the operators and employes of .the Western Cmion Telegraph Company impressing upon them the advantages that will invariably accrue from fajthful and steady diecharge of duty. *‘‘In_short,” it concludes, “‘ashns been well observed by the Psalmist, ‘A rolling stone gathers no Morse.”" & No farther particulars as yet have been received in this city as to the identity of the young lady whose death at theGarduer Hunse was noted in yes- terday's paper. There is an gir of mystery abont the whole affair, which, if there was the slightest nestion as to the cause of her death, would cause t to ripen Into sometping sensational. Mr. W. G. Wing, of No. 905 Madison street, ‘writes to say that the item in yesterday's TiiBCNE does him great injustice, and ‘that the transaction with the boy Long wae perfectly honorable, The question of right and ‘wrozg in the affair hinges upon the question s [0 whethes or not the boy knew thitd party who perpetratcd some sneaking action npon Mr. Wing.

During Mr. De Brot’s gojourn in this city he has made hosts of fricnds, who regret to hear of hus departure. e occapies the responsi- Dle position of being next ju power to Mr. Libby. ‘He came to Chicazo to orzanize the Western branch of the house, engaging all the employes and at- tending to the details, which he performed in & ‘most eatisfactory manner. - . A correspondent ealls the attention of the Mayor to the negligence of the Building Inmspector” in allowing a Swede residing on the northwest corner of Market and White streets to build a cottage in the rear of his Jot, and fronting White street. The building has progressed &lowly until it now is ornamented with a chimney, windows, and grained doors, Probably next month it will receive its finiel touches in the shzfie of a coat of vlaster,. ‘and will be placarded **To Rent."

Yes- terday the Trustecs went to Morgan Park to break the ground, it being part of "the contract that this mest be done before Oct. 1. ' Work on the building will be at once begun.

The meeting was well attended and showed an earnest and liberal spirit. A constitu- tion with by-laws was adopted, in aceordance with the suggestions of a report on the subject, which a cominittec had previously prepared and circulat- ed. Nearly every one present gave her name for membership, and her subscription, the sams rang- ing from Sz, the membersbhip fee, to $25. A prac- ticsl plan for work has been adopted which will give place and opportunity to all, and in the prep- aration of it the best experience of ladies of East- ern citics has been used. Al ladics of the Church and Society whom the Commiittee failed to reacn with their circular are requested to communicate ‘with the. Ladies’. Committee after the prayer meet- ings, or to send their names nnd addresses to the Secretary, Mrs. O. W. Potter, 532 North Dearborn street, by postal card or letter, 1t is desired to include all the ladics of Prof. Swing's Society in the charitable work. THE CATHEDRAL. RISING BISHOP M'LAREN'S TEMPLL TO GRADE. At the present time the Episcopal Cathedral of BS. Peter and Paul, corner of Peoria and West Washington streets, is closed, The edifice is being raised. It Bms, since Washington strect was graded and paved. been about three feet eight inches below the level of the street. In order to ‘bring the building well up, it will be raised four feet. The edifice is of such peculiar design that it would interfere with its architectural proportions if it were brought up sufiiciently to put a basement underit. The contrayZwas let to Mr. Wilkie, while it is done under the immediate supervision of Architect Addison. Hollingsworth & Coughlin have charge of the raising, and will have the build- ing ready for the application of the juck-screw the latter part of this week. The work was commenced the 13th of last month. The ruising will requirs sbout four days, when the walls will be put in. The work is of that peculiar description that it re- quires a remarkable nicety in its operation on ac- cont of the complicated ‘architectural proportions of the building, especially at the chancel end. The Cathedral is the oldest stone edifice in Chicago. Its etyle is rare in this country, being old English in design. 1t was built sbout twenty-tive years ago. In its present shape it was put up under the direction of Mr. Wadskier, “the .urchitect, the late Bishop Whitehouse giving it his personal attention. The decoration of the interior, which will have to be renewed after the raising is completed, was among the first of its kind in the West. The cost of the raising will amount to about $5.000. To redeco- rate the interior will cost about $2,000 additional. “'he amount has not yet all been obtained, but it Iz believed that it will be before the work is_com- pleted, which will be iu rbout apother month, In the inferim services are iuld in the old Congrega- ‘tional Church (now & Academy), corner of Green and Washington =.-2ts, nearly opposite the Cathedral. THE LYING CLUB. RAILRAOD EXPERI-NCES N A FOG. The last meetingof the Lying Club was held in the second story of the Sixteenth street depot, and the greatest care was taken to prevent the public from knowing sbout it. Inthe mysterions manner common to newspaper men, & TRIBUNE reporter lcarned of the meeting, andat once proceeded to the spot. He found Mike at the head of the stairs witha big club in one hand, & ecrubbing brush in the other, and a pail of water where he conld kick it over handily and dcluge any one _coming up-stairs. Not wishing o hurt the old man's feelings, the reporter flanked him, and, finding a ladder i the alley, climbed up fo the window and throngh s broken pane of glass, impenfectly mended by inserting a /imes supplement and an old pair of suependers, he zazed on the festive scene before lum. Being a fittle late, he missed the opening cercmoniex, which are said to be very interesting. He wuac in time, however, to sco Watkins borrow a plug of tobacco from Calkins, cnd, atter taking a bite, put the remainder in his pocket. **Uncfe Henry" was telling a fog story: ““Was running from Aurora east one night and foz come up. Couldn't see nothing, 6o I had to smell my way. Had left Riverside and was_won- dering why 1 didn't zet to the Crossing, when I smelt the cuecedest stink you ever thought of. That seemed strange, so I called for brakes and stopped. Somebody had left the ‘‘Y"eswitch wrong, and 1 had gone to the Stock-Yards witaout knowing it, and was then most three -miles from the main track.™ * “41 remember that night well,” spoke up Wat- kins. *‘I was runnin’ from Galesburg west and it was 80 durned foggy that when we got to Mon- mouth we had to telegraft to Galesburg fur a snow-plow to run ahead of us an’ split ther fog so we cud git through.” Battles took nfresh chew of tobacco, lit hispipe, and with a_determination to be victor this time written on his face said: **Well, boys, speaking of fogs reminds me of one time when I was running on the Grand Trunk from Port Sarnia east. Went oat oge night with fourteen coaches and 1o engines. Just a8 we left Sarnia it began to fog. Grew thicker every sccond. Just as it was at its tickest—it was so solid that when the fireman started ont to oil the valves he nad to come back and borrow my knife, and take the coal-shovel to clear the running-bourd— just 8sit was at its thickest, it turned cold, and *fore"we knew it we were froze into a big chunk of fog, —engzine, cars, and all,—and it took 'most a week to thaw us out.” And Battles sat down with ; grin, saying to himself, **Beat that if you cun, atty. " Watkins ecratched his nose, borrowed Battles® paper of fine-cut (forgetting to return it), and com- ‘menced: -1 just thought of the first time I ever run a passeinger train. 'Twas on the New York Central, fore the bridge was built at Alberny. Was a little late, snd I _was anxious ter make time it 'I cud, Pretty soon we_struck ‘bunk sgin s big pile of fog. Well we run ut two hours, and I got scart, and so called for brakes just as it began to clear-off. When it cleared off, where d'ye think we was? Sure's snakes is snakes, we were on top of & durn mount- ing in the State of Massachusetts. We had jumped the track somewhere, snd the fog was go darn thick that 1t kep’ us” up, and we run clear across the Hudson River an’ landed onto the mounting, ten mile from any railroad.” **Watkins, that's a d—d lie,” shouted Battles, as Watkins concluded his yarn. Ed dodged just in time to see the same old monkey-wrench ekip t his ear, and lodge on the northeast corner of ncle Henry's mnose. Just 88 things assumed the appearance of a Tilden ward- meeting, the reporter looked down and discovered Mike, with blood in his eye and the fire-extinguish- Just as be reached the ladder he stumbled and fell, the extinguisher meanw! ouring & stream of soda-water down the back of gi! neck. Not wishing to intrude, the reporter made a graceful exit, and took the next car down- town. JUDGMENT-DAY. SENTENCES PRONOUNCED IN THE CRDMINAL ) COURT YESTERDAY. : Judge Rogers pronounced the following sen- tences yesterday: Charles Graham, larceny, one year in the Penitentiary; John Fare, larceny, one year in the Penitentiary; William Secxton, larceny, three months House of Correction; David Jopes, burglary, two years Peniteniiary; Frank Lawler, robbery, six months Hovse of Cor- rection; Robert Stewart, forgery, two years Peni- tentiary; John Snannahan, malicious mischief, thirty duys House of Correction; W.

Commissioner McCaffrey will introtduce the fol- lowing resolution in the County Board to-morrow. He says that he 18 in earest in the matter, and in- tends to follow the movement to itslegitimate end: the testimony of Charle: B Gareaee. 1o the late tHia before the Criminat Court_of Cook County, that the Srm of James For sythe & Co, did, during the vear 1874, defraud Cook County out of & large amount of money; thercfore, Resolged, That the County Attorncy de,and he hreby 18, requested to heg(n suit against sald Forsythe & Co. 0 securc sald moaéys. The Board will, of course, adopt the resolutions it Periolat does not object. It will be noticed that they are pretty rough on that individual, who was the **Co.” of the irm of Forsythe & Co. If he is prosecuted he will have to deliver up, or wonld have to except for the fact that he just now, very convenicntly, has nothing to deliver in his own name, which McCaffrey well knows. The snit, if pushed, however, will be full of develop- ments, and if Periolat does not squeal, McCaffrey and others will be fortunate. MOODY AND SANKEY. AN IMMENSE DEMAND FOR TICKETS. The run for tickets to the services in the Taber- nacle to-doy was surprising, and all day yesterday the people of all classes thronged in and out of - the rooms of the Young Men’s Christian Asgociation. Before noon it was thought but right that no more tickets for the afternoon service should be issned, there bhaving been fully 10,000 passes given. As ‘many as 5,000 further appli-ations were made, but without effect. The tickets for the morning ser- vice were engerly sought for and freely given out. One of the managers of the Association informed a reporter last night that if erch ticket that had been issued admitted one person, the honse wonld pe crowded at each service. Mr. Moody is temporarily inlgm:g at the house of his brother-in-law, AMr. ‘The choir which has been organized under the lead of Mr. Stebbins for tho Moody and - Sankey ‘meetings assembled for the first time in the Taber- nacle last night, and made a foll and most satis- factory test of the acoustic properties of the an- ditorium.. There were from 600 to 800 eingers in attendanco, filling all the space set apart for them, and it was found that it will be nccessary to put some of them intothe gelleryin order 10 make room for the ministers. ¥ _ tr. Sankey, who was present and listened to the «inging, #aid that the choir was the best he had evermet 1n_the commencement of any of their weetings, either in America or abroad: and that their singing was remarkably good. He eaid he wanted to make come suggestions. The first was that they ehould try to sing in the spirit, so that their ex- ample would be salutary. If they were listless, and did not have their minds and heart in the work, they might exert an unwholesome rather than a Deneficial offect upon the andience. He enggested that it was of the utmost importance that they ‘have God's blessing and the presence of the Ioly Spirit, and said he desired, before separating from them, to pray. They all first united in a si- lent petition to God, and then he made the first andi- ‘ble prayer in the'great tabernacle, where butafew moments before the noise of the hammers of the workmen hiad censed. His supplication to the Throne of Grace was listened to with profound in- terest, and the utmost stillness by all present. Mr. Moody, npon hisarrival yesterday morning, went directly from the train to the Tabernacle, and, after acritical examination, pronounced it the best audience-room he had ever spoken in. Arrangements have been made with the Chicago Omnuibus Company to run every three-quarters of a minate from the corner of Wabash and Monroc street, connecting with the South Side cars, for the Tabernacle, for one hour previogs to each service and at the close. “BON VOYAGE.” DEPARTURE OF THE REY. B. A, ROGERS. Last evening the congregation of the Church of the Epiphany tendered their late Rector, the Rev. B. A. Rogers, a farewell reception at the resi- dence of John Stearns, No. 11 Centre avenue. Mr. Rogera came to the church about a year ago from Austin, Tex., jpucceeding the Rev. Dr. Stocking, and determidkd a few weeks ago to give up the charge on account of his health. The at- tendance was very large and the occaslon exceed- ingly plessant. The incidents of the evening were &a presentation to Mr. Rogers of a gol watch as s memento of the affection of the church for him, and the handing to him of the following resolations engrossed on parchment and neatly in- cased, which were adopted at a meeting of the wardens and vestrymen on the 23d instant: Resolted. That in'scvering our connection with the Rev. B. A. Rogers as Liector of this parish, we desire 1o piace on record our admiration for his conacientious 1ife and Christian character, and {0 exprces our sOrrow ot parting with one whom we have ever fonnd an ear- nest sceker after truth, a firmdefender of the falth, and an earnest, faltnful Iaborer in the Master's viney: Resolred, That, however civergent our paths may be in the future, thé memory of the time he has spent with us will always be pleasing retrospect. and wherever his lot may L.e cast, our prayers for Lcalth and prosperi- 1y will a'ways aztend him. The presentations were an entire surprise to the reeipient, and, of course, were the more heartily appreciated. The presentation speeches were ‘made by William Oliver and H. J. Jones, both of which were neat and appropriate. 'rpa{ were re- aponded to by Mr. Rogers in his inimitable style, and the entire affair passed off exceedingly pleas- ant. Mr. Rogers preaches his flguwe]l BErmon to- day, and to-morrow starts for his former home, where he proposes to spend the balance of his days in the retirement of private life. ANNOUNCEMENTS.

What is he to do with his four wives? The Thakoor is one of the chief Rajahs of Kat- tiawar, in Western India. Three years ago he married four wives simultaneously. At the time of the murriage the respective ages of the brides were 12, 15, 16, and 22 years. The Prince, whose broad territory slopes down to the blue waters of the Gulf of Cambay, is said tobe meditating a change of religion. ‘He is now 20 years old; he was only 17 when * married and done for?” four times over,in one day, three years ago. Now he wishes to become o Chris- tian, but the missionaries tell him Christians must only have one spouse. He is sorely per- glexed, and so_are the missionaries, who tell im that, as a Christian, he can retain only one of the four wives at present lawfully his, and that the proper wife to be retained is the one ‘who has a prior_claim uponhis Highness. This is_all very well, but scarcely meets the case. ““Which one of my wives has a prior claim on me?"” asks the bewildered Thakoor; “I married them on the same day.” The dilemma secms to be insurmountable.
