The truth of the incident can also be vouched for by sev- eral other Evanstonians. The gentleman re- lates the story as follows: the Editar of The Tribune.

VILLAGE FINANCES. As stated tn Tne TriBuxe of Thursday, there Thus been circulated a petition in reference to the ailairs of the late Village Treasurer, which reads as follows: Tuderstanding that there bae been presented to your Board a proposition from the bondsmen of Biersil Ladd, dte Treasorer, tocompromise and ¢ the claim of $13,600 held by the village ainst them by the payment of £10,000 in cash. we desire to say that, in our opinion, such o propo- attion and sctticment would be for the best inter- e;l‘s of the village, rather than to htigate snch <clsim. . ‘This petition was not gotten up by the bonds- men, it is said, as has been stated. It s signed by sowe of the most prominent and conserya- tive uifluna among whom are Messrs. L. J. Gage, H. G. Pow r%hGeurgc Watson, J. V. Tuvlor, A.J. Brown, Charles Comstock, J. M. Williams, J. H.

The peti- tion will.be presented to the Board Tuesday evening, and, wita such backing, it is probable that the propositivn of the bondsmen will be ac cepted. et s e .. A MISUNDERSTANDING.

This town has been for £o long & time without the excitement of s fire, that the occurrence of pne Monday, although in the dead of the pight, called out a goodly number of sight-seers. ‘The sufferer was the florist near the intersection of Green Bay road and Halsted street, whose loss was seversl hurdred dollars, aud would have been greater but for the vigilance of Officer Sul- “van, who put an early vctoon the progress of <he bontire by giving the alarm. Although there is plenty of water flowing under the thor- pughfare near at hand, it was not -accessible ou this oceusion, the hydrauts being the present halting, place of all upwanl tek of that ~ clement. That fire should. be organized at once, with hosc-carts and. plenty of hose in_a half-dozeu. localities.

His posttion on the Board of Equal- ization will, without doubt, be for the advan- tage of the much-suffering Cook’ County tax- payer. The whole vote polled in the town was 701,—150 ahead of that of any former clection, indlcating cocouraging growth of population, as well as of pu spirit. This large vote should entitle Lake \Lx w to fuller represcnta- ion In future conventions. 2 Le The social world has gone into mourning over the state of the, weather, Which is aboutas much s can be said for it at prescnt.

Dr. McKee, of Louiswille, Ky.. gave this congrezation two fine discourses last Sun- dny. Dr. McKee is here to bear aud profit by Mr. Moody’s peculiar method of prenchin%, having himself attained some celebrity in simi- lar work in Kentucky. This Fullerton-Avenue Church has ineugurated 2 good movement in connection with the Tabern: services, in the nolding of neighborhood prayer-meetings from bouse o house on several evenings in the weck. ‘They have been in progress for two weeks, and are spoken of with much satisfaction, being, of course, for those who gnnot get to the Taber- nacle. They are conducted by students from | the Theological Seminary. . ‘Tlils institution Is in a most flourishing condi- tion, having at present forty-five students, lack- ing but one of being double the number in at- tendance last year. The students are fully in the spirit of Mr. Moody’s work, and send down a delegation every evening to work in the in- quiry-room. The papeér they are conducting: the Daysman—has just made its sccond appear- auce, and is full of irood reading. T The peovle up on Lincoln avenue are rejoic- ing over the horse-cars, whose _tinkling enlivens that drowsy neighborhood, and whose udvent so faf north cnables them to come home all night if they 0 desire. They are alsofin the seventh heaven of complacency over the lamp-posts which the Town : ordered along the route to assist louseholders who have “‘had business down town late, you know,” to make a safe landing on their curb-stoncs. And now they are talking of sewers. Some peopic never are satistied. The recent auemgr.s to get rid of the dummy by ouster bave evidently made the Company pugnacious, and that much-ubused Institution made its appearance yesterday with two formid- able-looking cow-catchers. Aud now the pound- master will need to be vigilant if he wishes his beef in a live condition. HYDE PARK. A FIRE broke out yesterday morning at about half-past 8 o'clock, in the house owned by G. Gouard, situated on the corner of Fifty-first street and Hyde Park avenue. It spread rapidly and ‘the house.was soon in ruins. Mrs. Lyons, who lives mnorth of the house, was the first to discover the flames, and half an hour after a man was dis- covered and answered her cry of fire. The alarm was soon sounded, and after some timea . slight stream of water was gotten on by Hose Company No. 2. The Hosc ‘Company No. 8 from State strect was soon after on the scene, but no help was needed, for the building was in ruins. The house, which was vacaut that night, was formerly occug\cd )y Mrs. Lawson. who moved ot the day before. A Tamily wus making ready to move in that day, but did not. ‘The alarmi was raised yesterday that a servant girl had been burnt, but the rumor was ground- ess, the girl being seen in the afternoon.

OTHER SUBURBS, PARE RIDGE. 3 Mhe ordinary activity and gayety of this suburb hive suffered seriously of late by resson of the Centennial. * An umisually large nuimber of its citizens have wended their way to the City of Brotherly Love, to feast their eyes upon the wonders of the great Exposition and be present during. 4ts - closing hours. - The: last weary sight-seer bas, however, returned, and the village begins to assume its wonted: lively appearance. Many plans are being eanvassed to while away the hours of the coming long winter evenings, and ® guy and pleasant season is_an- ticinated. & 5 s The advanced branches are not taught in the ublic school of tbis place,—a fact which has gezn the cause ot much anxiety and perplexity to parents baving children whom they wished to become proficient in them, or to be fitted for college. The want has been supplied by the es- tablishment of a night-school where the desired branches will be taught. It is under the.capa- ble managemeut of Mr. Richardson, and' s well dencies company on . pogder Boring and family haviog removed to Chicazo, the parsonage {s vacant.

DESPLAINES. A runaway, in which several lives were jeop- ardized, occurred on the morning of the 16th inst. Mr. J. Hafirz leaving his team in charge of a small boy while he went. into a store, the horses took fright at a_passing train and ran, away, throwing the boy out without injury. ‘They ran up tha river road, leaving the lumber- wagon to which they were attached by the road- side, and’ demolished a light wagon in'which were seated the Rev. Mr. Detzer and Mr. A, Kolberg, who hed hardly time to Jeap out and save themselyes from scrious injuryat the least. It is fortunate that the consequences were not more serious. John Bocke, a watchman on_the railroad bridge, met with a strange accident. He was standing by the track when the through c: press went north in the morning. As the ) passed him under full headway, a piece of4tonly the size of a brick, flew off the tender, and strack him on the left arm, mangling the flesh ‘badly, but not breaking the bones. It will be some time before the lacerated-arm will be i worlking order again. i The religious; moral, and educational ad- vantages of this place are uncqualed.
