Reasons Given by Dismissed Policemen for Their Dis- charge. MORNING SESSION. GETTING TO WORE. The ' investigation of certain charges against Superintendent-of-Police Hickey was begun in the Council-Chamber yesterday morning before the Police Committee. The Committec is com- posed of Ald. MecAuley, Cullerton, Kirk, Nie- gen, snd Gilbert. They were all present, also Corporation-Counsel Anthony, Ald. Rawleigh, David McMullen, A. S. Trude, Joseph T. Bon- field, E. G. Asay, J.J. Lalor, Supcrintendent Hickey, Ald. Ballard, and Mayor Heath. The Chairman of the Committce, Ald. MeAuley, presided. He called upon the Messrs. McMul- lento produce their witnesses to prove the charges. He also said to the attorneys present. that the Committee wished to examine the wit~ nesses, and that the attorneys could question afterwards, but the Committec would allow no pereonalitics, nor anything not pertinent to the case. Mr. Asay said they were present to hear and answer the charges against Supt. Hickey. They wished to go into nothing but, this one matter, and they wished it to be conducted according to the rules of evidence governing courts. Tney were willing to bave Hickey’s record examined, provided that they only examined upon his con- duct since he was appointed to the office. They could not go back of the appointment to office, for he was arraigned here as a public officer and not as a private individual. Mr. McAuley—We are only members of the Council. We are not governed by any rules like the Board of Police. We have been in- structed to examine all the charges against him. Weare not the final court of hearing, but are simply to repeat to the Council what we know of the chargres made public. . Mr. Trade—We are unable to summon the officers here. I find they tremble with ferr st the thought of being called in here, Ald. McAuley—The Superintendent will send here any officer yon wanth Afr. Trude—Thesc charges emanated from the {g‘uce officers, and we must have them present ore we can proceed. Mr. Bonfield—We accept the decision of the Committee that it shall conduct the investiga- tion. The Committee are to take the initiation. Are you going to delay this merely for the szlz’.ge -:f allowing Mr. Trude to bave a particular order? Mr. Trude—1 am willing to take up any one charge and go through with that. Now the first ¢harge refers to Mr. Hickey's relation to Dan Webster. MR, HICKEY was then sworn, aud testified: T don't remem- ber of haviug ever signed o petition for the re- lease of Dauiel Webster, a notorious criminal. Mr. Trude—Webster was convicted in the Federal Court. Were you present at that trial? A—T think I was. Q.—Were you a2 witness? A.—I was. vas he convicted? A.—I understood so. -Did you sign a petition for his pardon$ A.—I don'i remember of having done so. Q—Did you ever receive any money from Webster for leaving him alone? "A.—No. Q.—Who owns the property occupied by Web- eter? A.—Webster. " A portion belonged to my mother-in-law; a part to me. It was bought in 1874, Jtisnotyet fully paid for. There arc notes given which will not fall due till 1579. It was a bona fide sale. The deed from my moth- erdn-law to my wife—a warrantee decd—was made to prevent the matter going into the County Court, 25 she was at tli¢ point of death. ‘We solait at less than the market price. Cross-examined: In the United States Court T merely testified to facts called out by the ex- amination. It was not a voluntary aid on my part. Webster is a professional bailer. Several years ago he was convicted for counterfeiting. I never knew lilf‘lhing bad about him of my own knowledge. He was pardoced out of jail by President Grant, because it was 2 put-ip job against Webster. * CAPT. BUCKLEY was the next witness, He testified that Web- ster kept a saloon on Pacific avenue. The house has been reported to me s a house of ill-fame, and 8 resort for thicves—'*a fence”; did not Lnow this from bis own knowledge. He never ot any stolen property there. Sergt. Barrett nce got some cigars from the place that had peen stolen. He would consider the house a house of ill-fame of low class. He knew of no conncection between Hickey and- Webster of a criminal nature. Webster was once fined for Lecping a disorderly house. Supt. Hickey used 1o Live at this housé before the fire. _Hickeyand Webster were on modirately friendly terms. and'fker never asked him for auy protection, for such 220t know of his ever asking Hickey ought not to affesi¥ue _police belicved they friend of Hickey.

The good government Lim removed from the force. rumor in the of the South Side rested with witness. Febster was protected by never believed that Webster e M Seteciine was the author of the charges; that Trude and McAullen were assisting in it; and ushing it e Tumors Hickey. Witness bad beard that the thieves and gamblers were on. Don’t know who originated among the police. The charges on the Vlierden was discharged, hes made by Capt. Buckley and were that h¢ discharged for this yeason. dev—We t the order of Supt. . Capt. Buckley—We haveal o mosecate e i mbling T e Danald Hickey made unususl cfforts blers and thieves. The van Vlierden told witnessthat Webster threatened to get im removed for doinz this. Hedid not know that Hickey had ansthing to do_with his removal. He was re- moved by Jake Rebm; Hickey was at that time 2 Captain. The current rumor is, and itis t Precinct, that Enown to all officersin the Firs Trodng :, e Clark strect and on Sherman strect.

He was ster spread it, he (Hikey) would make the town t00 hot for him. Gaerally a change of beat 15 made every six moufis. Witness Yad no,reason to Lelieve that Lis Izat was changed on account of the arrest. Mr. frude had interviewed wit- Tness about the arret. McMullen was also pres- ent. [Ie supposed Trude was Webster's faw- yer, and when he fund that Trude was on a ** buzzing " cxpedtion witness lett. Witness never stated that dght that fTickey tried to fn- terfere with Webstr’s arrest. Witness’ testi- mony had not ben a subject of conversation Wwith other oficers, He bad asked Capt. Buck- ley about prosecuing the case, not through fear, but becausc e thought the jury was being PACRED BY WEBSTER, and there was noise to #o ou. He never saw Hickey and Webter talking together. Web- ster was often in he station, as he was a pro- fessional bailer. 4 Q.—Why did Hekey say he would take your head off if you spead’ the report about the $3,- 600 if it did not rder to him? A.—Tdon’t know. I did not know towhom Webster referred, and did not supfiosc i referred to Hickey until he asked me this quetion. ‘Witness—Noboly gave me to understand that it would be dangeous for me to interfere with ‘Webster. I have had my beat changed about five times this yer. This is not customary. I suppose I was clunged because I was bettér ac- }u-.untcd with thethieves than some other men. was sent after-the thieves, not away from them. The polie officers never taiked much about this affair I don’t know whether the charges are true or not. Trude was to sce me yesterday. He tdd me something about telling the truth. I toldhim that of course I would. I never received aiy rebuke from any officer, di- rectly or indirecty, for any honest work I did. Inever received iy orders or hints to protect anybody who ougt to have been arrested. The majority of the olicers had their beats chargel by the Caotains n July. These changes weie made by the Capains, not by the Superintend- ent. David Clarie came to me when we were out on parade, md asked me some questions about the trath d the reports with reference to the $3,600 matter I told him it was false. He told me he came rom Supt. Hickey. : 1.P. DE VINNDY, d caterer, at 1152 3tate street, testified that he had a servant gil who had robbed him. He reported the fau to the police officers, but for three weeks he Juew nothing of it. One of the detectives dowr-stairs (in the City-Hall) said that it would cot $100 to arrest her. Witness finally arrested ler in Muskegon, and brought her to Chicag. Webster went her bail, Hickey said thatthe Justice kuew his business, and if he acceptel the bail it was all right. She was tried before Tudge MeAllister, but Hickey bave heard. ‘I know the place and men, and their reputation. 1 know what the records show of the ownership of the place. The report umong the, force is that Hickey and Webster were frituds, und Webster must not be intertered with. Since I have on the force I have ot 1e time-J should have felt that T was I,n.'sr‘)nssing on Iickey. Never heard Dixon speax of thé matter. Have heard Buckley speak of it. Heard Parker speak of the place and say he was to be discharged for doing hig duty. - Buckley said he was not, Parker was fearful “of * what. Webster had threat- ened. Buckley said he thousht* Webster had an_ jolluence - over Hickey. Both Sergts. Ebersoid and Byrne sald the same. P:ererf Broughton, Trainor, and Lonergan all spoke of it.” They said it wouldn’t be well for a man to interfere with Webster or his place, Have not seen Webster with Hickey since he was Superiutendent. There are six resorts for thieves in my istrict. ' Talways thought, and thiok now, that there was Iriendship between Hickey and .Webster.. I know George Holt; have never heard of Holt paying Hickey money; do not know Taylor Page, nor any other gam- bler; know of no houses running wow; if T'saw Eal::hlivntz going 01; wouldnm')z consider it m{ uty -to arres participants unless had special lnstmctiun;p had no or- ders mot .to make arrests of gamblers, Oflicers Lopergan and Croak had beea detailed to look up’ gumbling business. They—C. and L.—have told me that they had ORDERS NOT TO LOOK UP the Dearborn and Monroe street liouses. Do vot know from whom the orders came. When orders for bling raids were issued they were like, ““Pull.Clark street,” *Pull Dearborn street.” Have not known that Page’s and other houses had not been pulled since Ilickey came in. From general appearance it has been unsafe to arrest gamblers. I have known it unsafe to interfere “with certain thieves. Their names are Tom Curley, Ed Burns, Sam Perry, dJoe McClosky, James Carroll, James Brown. "1 have had thein in a great Inany times, and nothing has been done:” Once when I had two ofthem in, Hickey wrote to Summerfeld to discharge them. Buckley told me of it, and I didu’t o in to testify. Curley and Burns were arrested for vagrancy. I know of no reason for the request. They were well-known thieves, and had been to the Penitentiary. They werg been on the force;. know Flannigan} ke is a cousin of minc; Tlefthim on the corner of Clark street; I told Hickey that Flannigan never bad an interview with a newspaper man, and the report was untrue; have known Hickey twenty years. \ To Trude—I was in a saloon across the street with Flaunigan. 2 Q.—Did you say if he testified amainst Hickey he was a d—d scoundrel? A.—No, I asked you and him to take a drink, and you wouldn't go. Q.—Did you call him namesif he should tes- tify azainst Hickey! A.—I can’t say. -Will you swear that you didn’t? A.—No,I won’t. Isaw youand Flanniran together, 2n0d took him away from you. WILLTAM F. CARSON was the next witness. He testified: I have traveled the station-house beat Ebersold put me on, and told me to break up dens of thieves on Clark and Van Buren strects. I ¢id all I could towards it. I was offered money by Shauglmessy to let up. A few days after that I sent him' to the Bridewell. Several others offered me money. Sergt. Ebersold gave me another beat. He sald he had orders to change. Mr. Rebm was Chief, but was absent, and Hickey was acting. Inever asked any reason, butina conversation with Ebersold it was said I was too hard on Bill Murray and Donalson, both thieves. Webster was not on my beat, His reputation was bad. He keeps a fence. Don't know that Hickey and Webster are on good terms, The thieves had threatencd my life if I wasn't removed. Ebersold wanted me to stay on, but he removed me because Capt. Buzkley ordered it through Sergt. Conner’s influence. I went to Twcng—seconfl street and made application to go back to that beat. I was removed from that beat two years ago. I am now on State, from Twelith to Fourteenth. Ian at Harrison Strect Station. The men there respect him to a. certain extent. Q.—Do they think him an honest and efficient officer? A.—They think him eflicient, Q.—Do they think him honesti A.—Some do and some don’t. Q.—What is your opinion? A.—I don’t know any facts. - I don’t care to exXpress my opinion. Hickey is an etlicient officerwhen he eares to be. To the Chairman of the Committee—I said I ‘was perseeuted because I went-for thieves. I was hounded by thieves and by Ald. Warren aud his associate, | Warren went tail for 2 man whom I arrested,land he was never indicted. His associate waS Hughey Reel. I am a Yankee. inthe town a short time ago. The arrest I speak of was just before the spring clection. Cross-cxamined: Curley and Burns have been arrested, tried, convicted, and sentenced a good many times since Hickey was Superinténdent. said that he hojed the woman would be dis- missed, as _her fiends wished to reform her. Her own brothe will arrest her it she goes home. The girl is now out, and no sentence has been passec on her. Witness saw and heard Hickey when he made the statement; at the same time lur own relatives were anxious to procure her arest. Witness - would know the detective whe asked for the fee if he could sce him azain. This was about the 16th of May. Witness, vhen he applied to the Police Department for help, was simply referred by Supt. Hickey to the Uetective Department. He called on Hicker several times afterward and talked the affair sver with him. He knew that Webster’s reputstion was bad previous to his going on the bord. Ald. McAuley—We know enough about Web- ster’s character ow; I'don’t think weneed any more testimony on that point, but oueght to show the_relationship which may have existed between Webste: and Hickey. ‘Witness did nd know whether affidavits had not been presented to Judge McAllister from the relatives of the girl. OFICER S. W. SCOTT was next placed on the stand® He said: Web- ster’s place is a louse of prostitution; never saw any thieves ticre; didn’t knovw of the rela- tionship between Webster and Hickey. Ihad heard ~ that Wibster bought the property from Hickey. was discharged last August; don’t know why. The charge was ‘lneffciercy.” I helped to arrest a prostitute at his place last April. Web- ster bailed her out. He was always accepted as bail by Summerfield. After the arrest I was ordercd down to dickey’s office. Hickey asked ¢ What is the maiter with you and Old Dan?’ * Nothing," I sail, *‘except he interfered with e in the disclargze of my duty.” “Well,”? said Mr. Hickey. “you ought to have locked ‘Webster up. Doit if he acts so again.”” I sup- posed the reasors for my discharge were be- cause Webster hai an influence with the Super- intendeat, and be had sccured my discharge. The general feeling on the force was that Web- ster was the cause of my removal; that if we did.not act as Webster liked we would have our heads cut off. I have heard Buckley say that he was sorry that he had so much influence with the old man (Hidkey.) Buckley thought that my discharge was brought about by Webster. The Committee then adjourned until 2 o'clock. AFTERNOON SESSION. SCGTT CONTINUED. The Committes convened pursuant to ad- journment at 2:18. Mr. Trude continned the examination of Mr. S. W. Scott, and asked him if the report in the FPost was correct. Mr Asay objectd to any evidence sustaining or justifyine a nevspaper article. 5 Witness—I saidto Ald. Gilbert that the arti- cle in the Post wis true. Ihad an interview with Hickey before my discharge; he didn’t say I was too officious. - Iwent to Webster’s to ar- rest & man for an assault with a deadly weapon. Trude—Or an attempt to murder. Witness—For anssault witha deadly weapon. ‘Trude—Why do rou answer so reluctantly? Did Webster ask yiu to get out? ‘Witness—He did. Mr. Asay—I object to browbeating the wit- ness. Ald. McAuley sail there should be no brow- beating. Then came a rowbetween Mr. Asay and Mr. ‘Trude, in whiclr thelatter accused the former of trying to suppress thetrutlh, and of having come in with a great paraje. * You, Mr. Asay," said Trude, * you, in breadcloth, arce opposed to law in calfskin, and I prafer law in calfskin to law in broeadeloth.” Mr. Asay—As lonz as it is not in goose feath- ers you have no right to complain. Ald. McAuley—Ve want a fair trial, withou favor to Hickey or sn attorney to put words in Hickey's mouth. _The Witness—I made a statement to a Post reporter of my owa volition, and it istrue.

Have peen an officer cleven years. Have only seen Webster with Hickey at headquarters and at_the station at the time Hickey was Captain. Webster is o professional bail. ~ His occupation takes him to the policc-court. Am intimately acquainted with him. Never saw Hickey there. Have drank there. Borrowed money of him; owe him §5 now; have borrowed $400 or $500 of him. My instructions are to arrest well-known thieves and vagrants on the street. Hickey gave me thoseinstructions. Hencver madeanyexceptions. He bas instructed me to report what I see to him every morning. Don’t hear of gambling cvery day, but frcr?uently liearof thieves. Never kmew him to interfere with my arrests except the time I have spoken of. ever got any in- formation from Webster about thieves. Get in- struction from Buckley and from Hickey when he sends for me. Can’t_remember any case of Webster giving bail. Hickey asked me daily if I knew of any gwnbling. here is a general order against gambling. Under that I assisted at pulling a gambling house, and Bucklev told me SOT TO DO IT ANY MORE, a8 the Chief did not want it done. The house was 119 Clark. Protcetion is afforded to 119 Clark. My opinion is that gamling houses are running pow at No. 119 Dearborn and No. 71 Monroe. Was in the “Store” four or five days ago. I think Lhcfl are running, and I think every other louse is when the oflicers are not there. I am under Buckley’s orders. I have some money in the saloon on Harrison strest next the station. He owes me money. I own half the place. 1 know Johu Dowling, a zambler. I presume he- isj running. Iknow the Hankins brothers. I presume they arc rnnning. Have been on a good many Taids; was at McDonald’s. There Wwas no one there; went into others and found 1o one there; went to Tiernan’s at d found men gambling; never went to Pazi’s «r George Holts. T was detailed by Bickley to stop gumbling. I made raids on that ord.r.’ Buck- ley withdrew the order. He said that was the order from the Superintendent, and we were not to go to any gambling-houscs. This was last spring. Hickey was then Superintendent. My duty is to arrest criminals and gamblers. 'o Mr. Trude—I reccive these orders as other officers do. Webster’s house is_known asa fence for thieves of all colors. Know Dunnj heshot st me. Tiernan was with him. Iar- rested them as they came out of Webster's place. The property” was turned up. Dunn was a convict. : He “was convicted three years ago this fall. I know Jack Allen, Paddy Al- lcn, and Mary Knox. They were panel thieves. They are in the Penitentiary. Saw_Jack Allen at Webster's house. Never Saw Brockey Me- Lean there. Have never hcard he was one of ‘Webster’s men. Have heard of Brewster being there. The reputation of the place is that it is arefuge and fence for prominent thieves: I have “seen these men in other resorts for thicves. To Mr. Asay—I have scen them at McDon- ald’s. They go to bawdy-houses and liquor- saloons. My particular duty is to look after thieves, and other men are assigned to gam- bling-houses. Gallagher and I were under or- ders to ook after gamblers for two mouths, I can’t say, now, when the orders were rescinced. 1 made the raids. Lonergan and Trainer were assisting. If Iwereassigned toarobbery 1 would go to Webster's house in some cases, and in others [ would not. Some thicves would take their stuff there and others would not. Tlere are about twenty thieves in town now—I mean professionals. Can't remember when I arrested one. I have not arrested the_professional thieves I know for sixty days, for I don’t want to take ’em in and TAVE TIIEM TORNED OUT BY THE COURT. Suwanerficld has not turned out any for sixty days. He turned out Perry, Brown, Carrol, and McClosky some time 2go0. T'o Mr. Trude—I gave a certain Alderman a list of professional thieves. Somec one told him of it. Ilesaw me. Itold him to go to the Su- erinteident. I told him I thouaht the Super- intendent would not recognize them as thieves. I gave him the names I have given now and three others. The Alderman saw another offi- cer, who told him the same. It was Ald. Cleveland, Webster has . bhad the house since the July fire. Before that ke wasin the sume business. He was.sent to the Peniten- tiary, and has_kept these houses ever since. I am in the habit of using liquor, but not to such an extent as to be incapacitated.

BUCKLEY : was recalled. Whea Slayton and Gallagher were after gamblers they rattled them up lively, aund ot a lot of tools and such truck. Hickey told me to take them off that duty and put them on other duty. This was in May or June. The Supcrintendent and I ‘wanted “these men to go arter the thieves, and we put them on. and two other men on the gamblers. We have not made so many raids, because the houses arenot running. Hickey told me to raid_all enmbling-hogses,, and especially those on Clark street. TheStare the most dangerous in this community, They are the brace games, though moré money changes hands on Dearborn street. Hickey has told me to give special attention to this gambling question. There are Iless gambling and ~ buuko now than ever before. When I gave Scott theletter discharging him, I said I was sorry. He was discharged at the time of the reduction. I didn’t_tell him that it was on account of Webster's Tniluence; that I recollect; I don’t think [ told him so. He said he was afraid that was the trouble, but 1didn’t say angthing. Twenty-seven men and a sergeant werce discharged when Scott was. I don’t know that his piace has been filled. Scott was a good officer, and 0 is Slayton. Never kuew either of them to be drunk. Slay- tou gets his orders_from me., I report every morning. Trudé—Any oftener than Webster does? Cullerton—Trude can answer that. 5 Mr. Trude called for Flannizan, and was told he was not there, and thencalled for a man who had taken Flanniean off and then came back 2nd {épormd to Hickey. It turned outtobe a Mr. Ward. . PETER WARD l 'Was next sworn: Iam abricklayer; never have o the West Side, but don’t know what $52_ Q.—What is your opinionas_tothe honesty and efficiency of Hickey? A.—IIad rather not answer. Trude—You will be protected by the Mayor. ‘What is your objection to amswering? A.—I am ATRAID OF BEING REMOVED. Hickey was acting when I'was removed from the beat. "I am among those who don’t think Hickey the right man in the right place. Ire- spect him as Jong as I am under him. Q.—Do f;‘c::u think bhim honest, snd 2 fit man for the place? A.—Ido not. WhenI asked Hickey to bring me back he said e didn’t want an oflicer too long on one beat, ashe might get to be too well acquainted. I weat to McAuley and told him 1 thought Hickey wis not a friend of mine. Ihave heard talk abowt Hickey that be received money from thieves.and heard citi- zens speak of it. "I can’t pive thenames of any oflicers. _Never heard the sum o! money men- tloned. Have heard Webster’s nane mentioned, but not that he paid Hickey maiey. Been on the force three years; knew wher Hickey got a horse and buggy. J don’t know the Pope case. I have heard of the Lizzie Moore :ase,and of the Goldsmith case, and the “Hogsier” Brown case. It was from talk about tiesc cases and what I heard about them that I hive formed my opinion. 2 To Mr. Trude—I can’t say thit [ ever saw ‘Webster and Hickey together. “he only way I can account for so many thieves on the streets is, that they are allowed to ge when they are brought belore the Court. The didge lets them go. You never spoke to me in your life. I was ordercd to come here. A man nemed White, who said e was a reporter, eime to sce me Thursday night. No one clse his scen me. I have heard that if a man didn’i tell what he knew of this thing he would lz put off the force. This man White told me that. SERGT. PRED EBERSQLD was sworn, and testified: Been on the force ten years. Know Webster; hi¢ reputation is bad; his place is known as a fence. Have seen ‘Hickey and him together at headgasrters and the station, but nowhere clse. Don’tknow whoowns the property where Webster lives. Don’t know that Hickey protects Webster. It bis seemed to me that gamblers and thieves wereprotected by some oni¢. T have raided many gamling houses, but L don’t know that any notice vas sent. It often seemed a8 if some notice wassent. Ihave been to some places often when I:ouldn’t get any one. Oncof these is Page’s house, 135 Dearborn; hayen’t been there tor 3 year. The orders were to go for the houses wien I got a chance. I bave confined inyself toClark street, It seemed to me that Holt’s, Page’s, and Hines’ houses were favored. Buclley ordered me to go for all of them. He newr told me to make any exceptions. I saw men vhowho were detailed to hunt up the_houses, aid they said they were not to go on Dearborn srect. ~ Capt. Bucklcy told me they were to gosn Randolph and Clark streets, but not on Diarborn. He had charge of these detailed men.. They were 1o go from house to Louse, and’all for help when they wanted it. I can’t say vho these de- tailed men report to. : Capt. Buckley—They reported tj me, The Witness—The men and I neer talk about the Superintendent. The Sergeanti talk it over, and we thought it looked bad if tie articles in the paper were true. Some of th¢men appear- ed to thing there was an intinacy between Hickey and Webster. Webster was always threatening” to go to the boss. Never heard that Webster was more of the Chief than Hickey. No one has | been to sce me mor have I -hexd of any threats. None of the gambling louses are do- ing much except when they can steal n}Enme. There is less gambling now than before .y went in, and less bunko work. There arc a few bunko men, but they skip around. I think the force under Hickey has been letter haudled than before for ycars. The only way Hickey or Buckley could send any mnotice to gamblers would be “when they dirceted an especial raid. Webster don’t come to the station much now, and only to_bail some one. He used to come every day. The reputatioa of Webster's house is that of a fence, thourh never found any goods there. JOSEPH DIXON. Deputy Superintendent, was sworn—I_know ‘Webster. Have frequentlyscen him in Hickey's company, sometimes twice a day and sometimes less. Itwasalways at hesdquarters. I don’t know of any relationship between them forther than mnkc¥ said be got some information from Webster. Ican’t answer as to any influence ‘Webster had over Hickey. I don’t know who owns Webster’s lousc, ‘though I have heard. that Hickey does. The character of the house is bad. Idon’t think Webster would steal, but, I think he wonld make money bailing prosti-| tutes and the like. He keepsa bawdy house, and a dunce house for negroes and low whites®, and 1 bave heard that thicves go there. Ile has) been convicted of erime. Webster is not any more favored than any one else that 1 know oi) Some of the force think Hickey a good officer, and others do not. | Q.—As to his honesty? A.—It is better tbnfi it used to be.

Ira Brown Has Pointed It Ot to Thou- sands Doring the Past Six Years. La Grange, His Present Suburh, the Best and Cheapest He Has Ever Had. Ta the present dullness of the real-estate mar- ket, it is refreshing to find one dealer who is prosperous. That manis Ira Brown, as our ‘weekly report of real estate sales will show. Time confirms the good Jjudgment of Mr.Brown. His scheme for proviaing cheap but beau- tiful homes in the near suburbs is exactly what is needed at this time. For six years his philan- thropic plan has been in active operation, and each year has made it more popular with sen- siole, reflecting men and women. People are tired of poor tenements in the crowded, un- healthy city. They want clear, light, pure alr, open ficlds, good water, economical’ surrounds ings, and good associates. : LaGrange, scven miles from-the city, is Mr. Brown’s suburb this summer, and he i3 sending there hundreds of families among the besf most intelligent, and thrifty in the city. This beautiful villaee was selected on account of its admirable location, its nearness to the city, and because the C. B. & Q. Railroad is the first to reduce its fare to 10 cents. Mr. Brown practic- ally mives the lots away, asking but 3100, aud only $15down. The payments areso ridiculously small and easy, 50 as to be_within the reach of everybody. It does uot take much ingenuity to save §5 per month from ncedless extrav- agances. When a man has his lot paid for he has some- thing substantial to fall back on. He can’t lose it. Itisall the time growing more valuable, Its owner is a frecholder, and he las a com- fortable, independent home before he hardly knows it. The number 'of clerks teachers, men and women on salarics, liboring men and women, who.have been helped to inde- endence in this way during the past six years is cgicn, and Ira Brown_has the heartfelt grati- tude of thousands to-day for the practical char- ity he has exteaded them in helping them to help themselves. But our readers should bear in mind that only about onc month more remains in which they can buy one of those beautiful LaGrange lots so cheaply. If you want to get a lot for $100 where the adjoining property is selling for $15 per foot, and live it your own house, You must et it soon. . Fair warning is given, and the pru- cut man will act at once. Laboring wan, clerk, teacher, you all know Ira Brown personally, or by réputation. He sells only his own property, and his titles are perfect. Itisa chance which you may not have next sumuner. There is no suburb equal to LaGrange, and the most desirable lots are going fast. Fifteen dol- lars secures a lot. Remcmber that, andac be- fore it is too late. THROWING MUD. A Practico Indulged in by a Few of the High-Priced Markets Toward Their Rivals in Business, but which Recolls upon Their Own Meads-—The Results of a Thorough Investigation of the Subject. \Yhilc it should be granted to business men to push forward their own interests in every legitimate way, even though in so doing they may disparage those of thei neighbors, vet there are limits beyond which they may not go without incurring publiccensure. The fact that anumber of the so-called aristocratic markets in the city saw fit to insert in a morning con- temporary of a week ago an articlein praise of their own particular establishments would eall for no comment had they not at the same time made an unwarrantable attack upon others by publishing statcments utterly false and tend- ing to prejudice the public mind upon a subject of such universal interest asthe wholesomeness of themeat sold in our markets. While it may be true of some unprincipled parties, investiza- tion bas failed to find in any of a large number of markets called upon, meat that could possi- bly be classed as unhealthy, and so far as dis- eased meat is concerned the sanitary regula- tions of our city demand rizid inspection of all meats placed on sale at ‘the wholesale markets and the destruction of everythihg in any way tainted. or unwholesome. “The difference be- tween cash and credit explains for the most part the additional pricc the hizher-toned markets are compelled to charge. It is unnccessary to particularize here. We would siniply call attention to a short list out- side of the fancy markets before alluded to, selected from almost every scction of the city, and cumprmnf markets 'that for quality of meat, reasonable prices, and amoent, of custom, may challenge comparison with any in Chicago: Twenty-second Street Palace Market, 104 and 106, J.
