He was'down in Forwell Hall a few 0, and attended a temperance inceting, and wad struck with a scoae of bis slus, - Mr. ilarkins, sanother recent vonvert, related the story of bis conversion at the Tabernaclz, and an old gentleman pamed Raymond testitied 1o bis baving beeu saved lately, " He had been n quodernte driuking mau, but he Lad lost all tasts for rum, He had also beec cured of the #lithy habit _of u»lug tobacto. Mr. Raymond Dranched off inte s leugthy lecture on the cvils cca, Mr. Bmith said that he was a confinned drunk- ard at the age of 13 vears, aud contivuid so until Lewas 3. His mother keve up all Lope of biw. He fioally wes struck with a senso of wrong- doing, At that time he was working in a lirewery and distillery. Ife went home that Dight and he” sall to his wife, #Now, Dolly, who can [ get to prav for mel” Bhe didn't know what to think, sho was so sur- l.mm. Ahaut the tobacco queation, nHuded to by the brother who had just spoken, he didn't feel ke enteringe any great objection to the habit. Ho had heen greatly blesasd while using Lobaceo. He hed given up #moking. The way of it was this: Ho was Ising in_bed one night, and the thought came to him, “Dost thou alin to be like the Lord Jesus! Dost thon think that it He were living liere on earth He would anbmu. Awith a ahort clas pipe ar n quid of to- hnceo n his moutht” That Idea settled it He gavo uip the habit from that time, Another convert spoke earnestly agalnat in- temperance. Mr, Stehlins sang a very beautiful song, “Calling now for Thee, Prodigal’” and after & few moments of silont rrnycr. and n prayer by the Rev. M. M. Parkhurst, the mecting was Lrought to a close. % CAMERON, AMBERG & CO, A FRUITLESS ATTEMPT TO BEGIN TIE INVESTIOA- TION, The Joint Committee sppolnted by the Coun- ty Commissioners and by the Citfzens' Assocla- tion to Investizate the charges made rome timo ago by the Staats-Zeitung was called for yester- day afternoon at 2 o'clock, {n the rooms of the Cltizens' Association, to recelve the report of the secretaries, who have been conducting a pre- liminary fnvestigntion. About an hour after the time sct for the meeting two County Commissioners, Ayars and Hoffmann, and Mr. Fleld, of tho Citizcns’ Asso- ciation, had put in an appearance, Mr, McCaf- frey and Mr, Franklin MacVeagh being out of town, and Mr, A. M, Wright being sicks Without walting for the Cominittee to organ- ize, Mr. Ambiler, the Beéretary provecded to read his report to the nesembilage, which con- aisted, bestdes the gentlemen named, of Messra. Cameron, Amberg, and Cushman, supnorted by their counsel, Leonand Swett, and of Mr, tteate- feld, the repreecntative of tho Staals-Zeitung, and several newspaver reparters. The followinu fs the report: The Recretaries, who were directed by the Joint Committee of the County Commissioners and the Citizens' Association ta take such preliminary tes- timony in the examination of Cameron, Amberg & Co. 'w acconnts with the County Board as to provide & basis for farther and more explicit investigation, report that they have gone over, in the presence of the accused and tho accusing parties, all the In- volee and papers obtained from the Conty Clerk for the years 1874-'73-'70, anil have complieil n 1lat of sll tlie objectionable ilems pointed out by the agent of Mr, flesing, who has bronght the charge. They huve aito regucated the sald azont 10 ie with them adetslled specification with the amonnts of the alleged overcharges extended opposite each objectionable item, that they might embrace the rame in thelr R‘vorf. to yon. bat as o has declined ‘| to comply with this request, they now ask further nstructiony, . C. Axnaren, W I, 3K DAY, After the docuinent had been read, Mr., Geste- feld fnquired if the members of the Committen who were present considered themselves o ttorutn, My, Fleld Lhotht not, and Mr. Commissloner Hoffmann muved that the Committee adjourn, as no 1H0mm was prescnt. Mr. Leonard Swett rosc and addressed the Committes at length. Ho thought that the membera preacnt could well decido the question ‘whether Mr, Healng should bs required to flle with the secretarles n apecified statement of the charges he Lad to make against his clicnts: He desired very much that they would decide that this hail to'be doue, as it ‘would help much to facilitate business, cre wus, lhowcrer, o le- ral question involved in this matter, which he thought this Committce wns not com- potent . to declde. The contrack requircd Cameron, Amberg & Co. to furnish certaln articles at certain priced, some of them far below cost. As he understood it, there were In the stationery business many artls elea that were furnlshed below cost in oriler to ohtain contracts, with the hope to have n chance to get even on other Ibings, But it did not follow because they furnished one article at a very low figure that they would bave so furnished another of the sama cluss, but somewhat different, at a price la propartion, but they had a tizht to charge o reasonable ‘price forit. As he under- stood It, the accusing partics laid great stress on that point, and he thought it wonld bo be- yond the province of the Committee to declde about {t. Ho stood ready to prove that his clients had derived no extravagant profits from thelr contracts with thocounty, Mr. Field thought tho Cominittce would haye, to find ont whether Cameron, Amberg & Co. wero guilty of the charges brought agalnst em. Mr. Bwett rcslled that no charmes to which an nngwer tould be given had been brought for- ward by Mr. Hesing, and his ogent now refused to give them. s Mr, Gastefcld then addresied tie Committee. Whilo he protested agninst having any argu- ments before a *‘rump ** committec, whose ac- tlon sronld be of no account, e desired to say something In raply to Mr, Bwett. The bold, barefaced wdmlssion of this gentleman that his clicnts. had proposed to the county to fur- alsh b with © articles at (’”“" below thelr cost, was, {u his oplnlon, quite surprising, cotning ss it dId from so reputed a lawyer, Mr. Biwett stated that a legal question wad {nvolved here; he thought it was not a questfon of law, but simply of busincss nvorale, which the Commit« tee would have to decide. Mr. Hesing did not consider it a lcwal question, clso he would have taken carc to have Lis alde of the casc con- ducted by a lawyer, But he decided to sppeal merely to the ‘sense of honor of the busiuess men composfug the Committee, and so did not want & Jawyer, ulthough he was well awure that the' ‘opposing party had see cured one o? the wbleat Jurists In the city, who, no doubt, could minke bluck ap poar white, Acceas had bean given the repre- sentative of the Staats-Zeltuny to thedocuments, which contained ¥ULT, PROOY OF THE CHARGEA made, aud he had pointed out to the Becre- tarles in the cvourse‘ of tho Investigation such {tems as ho considered needing investiga- tion on part of the Cominittes. The ssina facility had been given to Mcsars, Cameron, mberg & Co,, who had noted down eyery ftem objected to, He thought he had turilahed apecltications enough, and preferred to kcfi' his evidence back until the Committeo was ready to receive it ¢ Mr. Ambler made a statement to the effect that he hiad ex; d Mr., Gastefeld to give him o complete and speciticd 1ist of all tho objec tions ralsed by him against items in the bills, Ie had, of course, a list of the questioncd ftcms, but could not tell’ what tho matter was with them. Mr. Bwett thought that It was only fair to hls clients to bo furuished with specified charges #0 a3 to kuow what thev had to answer to, Mr. Gastefeld remarked that pretty explicit changzes had been made, expliclt enough In fact to cause the accused Lo ask for an Investization, He thoucht Mr, Heslug was perfectly vrlllln'.":o confine himself to proving thoso charges if that was insisted upon. Mr, Ambler, at the rct]uul. of Mr, Fleld, read the charges which Mr, Heslni subimitted some time ugo to the Citlzens' Assotlation, Mr, Bwett sill) thought he should have a full 3“} of particulurs toenable htin to prepars a efeuse. Mr. Onstefeld was as decided In his refusal, He did not think It proper to furnish an aee cused with all the evidence that wus to bo brought out against the firm before the casy waa falrly vpened. 1o did not, however, wish to argue the mutter any farther now, Mr. Fleld thought that Camerun, Amberg & Co. could not ask to have the e‘)ruou of the charges ralsed agaiust them furnished them be- fora thosc proofs had been submitted to the Cammitiee, but he wonldnot decide ahout it. The meeting then broka up, after o few re- sultless efforts’ to u dsy on which to meet azain. Mr. Swett stated that the Sullivan triat would probably prevent him from attending all next week, onit he hoped the Committes would suit his convenlence I the matter, he Committee will probably be called tagether aguin some day next week. A TEMPERANCE LESSON, WIUAT A HEPOKTER SAW IN A WEST BIDB BUHANTY. ‘The extreme depth of depravity that human- ity moy reach hus never been fully measured. Philantlroplsts have studied the matter over, and political economists have given the subject some attentlon, but whero the lowest cbb o bug degradation may reach has never boen fully settled. Cbarity Is esteemed a noble vir- tue, and exerclsed very Noerally fu Chicago, Couk County toxpayvers contribute o flarge ount vearly to helfl unfortunute poor osten- 1y, but bow mueh s stolen or wasted on un- worthy people cannot be computed, Whilo o ThibUsE reporter was at the West Chicago Avenuo Statlon last cveulng aboutd o'clock, o woman walked in and complaluned that she bad been robbed of some §20 in a bouso ou Augusta strect, Her breath was foul with the funics of whisky, her bair was unkempt, she wes dirty (n lp})t-uuw’ and her general demeanor was that of a person who had_just risca frow a L‘wlrlctcd spree. *You aee,” sald sho tothe Scrgeant, [ weut fnto the house and sent for souie whisky, sad T 1ald ou the bed and weut to llltg, and the old womau robbed me.” - There wus nothing strange fu s but the vitiver, impelicd b duty, sald Le would go uch a story, & deslre to do bis lnyestiguto the wai- “alght cents for hogs, - slve; ter. The roundsman of the distriet was just then in the atation, and he and the Eergeant started for tho place, T TRINUNE representa- tive heing Invited to sccompany. The woman conducted the party down Milwaukee to Elston nventie, and down the Northwestern Raflroad track to the rear of A aqualid tenement at No. 3 Atgusta street. She then led the wayintoa fittle back room, with a low, black telling. In t were a fow chairs and a deal table, On ono_slde wns a conk-stove. By it st the aged remnfos of what was once & woman, on 4 lox, three-legged stool. Her faco was shriveled and dirty, . Tha hands Jooked dry and withered, and her eyes receded far back Into her head. Mer zrniv' hair hung wild and un- kempt, and a moro filthy specimen of the hu- man raeo could hardly ba picked up anywhere, Ou the opposite side “sat o man,—at least he was o biped, standing upright when aober. Man and woman wers both drunk,—beastly drunk. In a little room, on & dirty hed, lay a sick child, breathing a nlck'ly atmosphers. ‘The woman's name was Mary McMullen, and the man’s Thomas McCullough. The woman who had complalned of the theft was named Annle Grogan, nlias_Leonard, and she nccused the old woman of having stolen her monoy, There was some )ittle parley, when from anothe cr fil-smelllng room camio a womnan—her breath foul, and shke under the inflaence of liquor. 8he was Mary McCullough, Thomas® wife. A lttle later another drunkcn woman came in, Snhe was Mary Rickorts, daughterof Mary McMullen, and mother of the chitd sbove-mentioned, In the roomn was also tho reputed husband of Mys. Grogan. The lanzuage of the whole arty was full of curscs, The wifs of McCul. {:mz ralscd a poker to gtrike her hugband, and clenched her st and shook It {n his face, and but for tho ofMicers there might have been a reg- ular Kilkenny fight.

P ——— SOUTH TOWN. SUPERYISOR LINCOLN'S RETURN, Bupervisor Lincoln returned from Washington yeaterday morning, anid wis once more romind- eil that thera is such a thing as the South Town Collectorship, and the difficult problem ua to the best way to scttlo it. - Mr, Lincoln wus in con- stiltation with Mr, Herrick during the greater part of the day, but what the next step will be, outslde ot appearing before, Judge Farwell this morning in nuswer to a notifleation from Messrs, Goudy and Fuller to the effect that the motion to dissolve the injunction will be renewed, could not be Icarned. ' Mr. Lincoln had not had the tine to examine the testiniony which has been taken this week In rega to the valug of the surctics on Mike's " hond, nor did ho seem to think that any such examination on his Irm. was nccessary, having, as he sald, satfsticd himself in the firat place, by & personal examination of the suretles, that they wero in- sufliclent. During the afternoon Mike's attorneys sent a note to the Supervisor requesting him fo inform then as to what, in his judgment, would be the amount of damuges to which Mike would be 1lablo under a breach of the covenants In the bond. To this the Supervisor promiscd to make reply. “é South Town Doard will meet this after- noon, but probably will do nothing. THE BTOCK-YARDS. A SPECIAL COMMITTER OP TIIR LEGISLATURE, consfsting of Senators Plumb aod McClellan and Itepresentatives Ashton, Fouteb, and Her- rington, reached this city yestenlny morning, and went at onco to the Stock-Yards, They were appointed under o joint resolution direct~ ing an fovestigation to he made as to over- charges for yardage, feed, cte. It scems that shippers and stock-owngis fn the central snd southern parta of the State complain of ex- tortions, The allegations are, aubstantially, that 25 conts & head for cattle and yerdage, s exces- that thero is mo competition In the sale of dead hogs, a monopoly gecuringall the defunct animals, whereby tho snippers arc deprived of thelr falr vulue; that niore feed {8 charged for than is (urnished, and that the prices demanded are too high. The Committee are authorized to taka testimony re- purdlug theso matters, and. {f tho charges ara proven, to auggest the leglslation necessary to protect the agyarieved partics. They spent tho wholc day at the Yards, hear- fng tho evidenco of - slippers and commission- men, and will do tho same to-day, cxpacting to finlsh thelr work by to-night. Vhat was “de- yeloped yesterday the Committes refuso to state, decining {ts” publication now to be Im- roper. Superintondent Sherman s doing all rn his power to ald thom, being as anxlous as they are to learn §f there is any foundation tho'charzes, Bo fur 0s dead anlmals ore concerned, they sro treated now as follows: As soon as one is dfs- covered it Is hauled outside tho yard to the shipping post, where arecord {s ‘made of the welght and vame of the owner, Jtis then turnied over to the Unfon rendering eatablish- ment, which settics with the owner,” Occaslon- alfy discased anfmals aro bouglt by butchera, anld s they ure willlug to pay moré than the Rendering “Company, the shippers doubtless want the difference, not caring whether the ment fs sold ‘to cat ornot. The Stock-Yards Company are opposed to the salo of discased meat to_unscrupulous butchers, and for that reason the Rendering. Cnm{».mu get all the dead boeves and hogs. This s & monopoly, to be siire, but it is one which nobody can reasonably* object to, slnce It protects the people from ini- pusition, and prevents to s great extent the sale of uuwholesumo meats in the markets, TEMPERANCE, THE WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN TEMIERANCE UNION held a regular monthly mecting yesterday morn- ing ot 10:80 o’clock In floom 8 Farwell Build- Ing.

A XEGRO SIOT IN A SALOOX NOW LAST RVENING, ‘When man cither learns to drink good whisky, or, better still, to do without the baverage, thon and not till then will murdors and hlood-Jet- tings hecome leas frequent. It may be set down tight here at the beginning of the shooting affray about to be reiated that King Barleycorn did the deed, and is therefore more than ever deserving of the persccution of such pateiots as Gough and Murphy, Probably, had the grog been better, the affray had been milder, but as it was, “whisky, you're tho divil,” was at the bottom of §t. The time waa 7:30 last oven- ing; the location Matt Walsh's saloon upon the southwest corner of Van Buren and Clark streets, which (s ordinarily one of the quictest and most aristocratic in that rather tough sec- tion of country. Tho participants were Gus Andersan, colored, and John Keal, white. The former is a porter upon a Pullman palace car, and when not at work roams around town see- ing the sights, and manages to get uponsa hurrsh es often as his pockets are welghed down with salary. — The latter » junk«lealer ofn, business ins wreek of a tumbledown nnlg southwest corner of Jackson and Clar! and aleo has the reputation of a mnan who likes his draughts of ale and éven whidky much Dbetter than he ought. A weok or 80 ago ho was impancled upon the jury in ‘Judge Gary's Court, and has heen {n " almost constant dally attendance since,waltine to becalled toduty,and }n consequence of this outside business ho neé.'- ected his rezulor employment, and taok to lnafing about town. © Upon his way down morning, to court {gslmlu as he gays, he called into Walal's “saloon for his morning * nstonisher, and there found a negro whose name he onlv knew by what lic had heard othera call him. The ne; set up the drinke, and Indulged fn consiilerablo brageadocio towari Keal, the burden of his remarks belog & rebuke for Keal havingamannamed James Murray arrested and'put under 8300 bonds to keep the peace. It nppeared from their conver- satlon that James Murray, & butcher in the neighborhood, and a brother to tho BIll Murray, kecper of a saloon closc by on Van Buren street, had assaulted Keal for some tause or other last Wednesday afternoon fn Walsl's saloon, and had beateh and kicked him in a frightful manner, The ne- gro slded with Murray, and told Keal he ought to to man enoch to cither give or take a guod thrashing. Inthecnsuingconversation Anderson made Keal belicve that o was a detective from Central Station, and had conslderable moro to say abont affaira around town than he, Keal, wus aware of. Nothing came of this dispute, and Kceal went nbout his businesa to the court- room. 1n the afterncon he was dismiescd from court and told that ha would not be wanted azain uutil Monday, aud he at once repaired to Walsh's saloon, whers he found the negro still drivking snd_bragging that ho had been home ond thrashed lx!% wite. The purty, of whom Keal and Gus Anderson were the only ones who stayed permanently, kept on drlnklng. talking, and arguing until zome time atter o'clock. By this tima both had becomo pretty full, and, in thelr disputes, abused cach other with the most foul language, until there wns no resort save Dblows.” ‘The wogro was preparing to get In his work first, whon Keal stepped back with a motlon as I to draw _a_ revolver, seclug which, Anderson umn'lsud1 with a frighiful oath, ** Youdare no% shoot,’ ¥ Dasn't I," said Keal, and the bullet went whizzing Into Auderson’s braln by the way of the left eye. Keal then escaped out of the sido door, The negro did not 1all, as mnight be expected, but stepped up o the bar, saying he was sliot, and then proposed that he walk bomo. ‘The bystanders refused and hod liim sent fn & wazon to his home, No, 171 Fourth ayenie. Ha wus thero attended first by Dr. Ford, who had no hopes of his recovery, and afterwards by Dr. Willard, who thought the wound mzfilll not be as serfous as {t looked. Its fatality will depend nltogethor upon whether tho bullet proceeded tiroctly Into the braln or glanced otf upon the edge of the trontal bone and lodged In the duvn mater or hard covering of the head. From the fact that the man was alivo and pros- periug finely ot 11 o'clock last night, the latter ‘“85‘{"“““ would seem the mora correct, cer Trainor was In the neighborhiood at the time, and, heariug the shoating, followed Koal to Ed salvon, of the corner of and - Clark * streets, and there arrcsted him, and locked him up In tho Armory, together with Jsmes T, Smith, o~ other negro who accompanied Anderson to the saloon, und who clalns to have scen the shot fired, Both were so drunk that nothing Iutelll- fma could be made out of their talk until a ate hour, and then it wos so disconnected as to bae almost uscless. Smith sectos to think that tha dispute was about a compass which Ander- #on had sold to Keal, and thinks Keal prevari- cates when hio suys he never saw Anderson to his knowledge untll yesterday morning. The bartender, tho only other ‘witness known, closed the saloon and skipped out &t once, and has not sioce been seen, His sto- ry of the affalr will undoulitedly bo the more currect one, there being several “bitches in the stories told by tha othiers, It {s somewhat u remarkable tact that Smith, a colored man and & friend of tho wounded man, thlnks that Keal was all but justiled In ondeavoring tor kill his man, 80 great was the aggravation.

AMERICAN E;(HIBITORS AND THE FRENCH EXPOSITION, Though the rapld auccession of the so-called World's Exhibitions finds o strong opposition from parties belicving that a longer Intersal fa required to Judge of the progreas of the differ- ent natlons, there 1s very: little doubt that the Amerlcan people can only galn by them. It s generally conceded that at Philadelphia our manufacturcs not only favorably competed with those of othor countries, but in many in- stances exceeded them In superiority of work- manship and cheapness. While not many years ago our shipments consisted malnly ot our nat- ural products and preclous metals, cur export Usts are swelled to-day to o not inconsiderable amount by American manufactures finding tholr ‘way to Europe. . ’ Under these circumatances 1t Is to be expect- ed that tho United States will bo largely repre- sented at the exhibitlon to take place in Parls In 1878, Preparations for this cxbibition stould begrin early here, as they have already begun tn othor countries, It is timely, therefore, to call tho attention of our manufacturcrs to a co- operatlye systom, which foreign cxhilbitors, cs- pecially Germany, successfully employed ot Philadelphts, and which combines a very deafra~ ble economy with an effective represcntation. Germany was represented at Philadelphia by nearly 1,000 cxhibitors, About 800 of these bad concentrated thelr Interests in the handsof Mesars. Bchmidt & Gruniger, who have houses in New York and Philadelphia, with branch of- flees at Berlin (Germany). The arduous duties of this agency conalsted in taking entire charge of thelr clicots' exhibition from the moment the goods were shipped from tho manufacturer's place up to the time of their return. The agents ottended to the approoriate, tastoful, and clegant display of all the zoods exhibited, and to the proper selection of employes who wero always on the ground ready to give ex- planations to visitors there. In thepractical ex« ceution of these deotalls they were in many in- stances more competent than the exhibitors themaclves, in vonsequence of their former ex- perionce and the large staff of carefully-selected assistants, which the extent of thelr busiuess allowed them to employ. It is evident that by a combination of Intcrests these advantages can bo securcd .more effcctively and witha greator cconoiny than by sn fndividual ex~ hibltor. Furthermore, tho main object of every manu- facturer who exhibits his goods is to creato an increased demand, to receiveorders, andtoobtain the award allotted at tho closcof the Exhibition. To show what can Le accomplished in theso re- spects by a firn well acquafnted with the trade of the country in whivh the Exhibition takes place, a firm which by the nature’ of its busl- ness {s in constant contact with the ollicers of such Exhibitlon, we hava only to mention that Messrs. Bchimldt & Gruninger, besides having opencd a number of new agencles in this coun- try, have obtained medala for 400 exhibitors out of tho 800 they represented in Philadelphla, ‘The resuit has been so highly satisfactory that they are preporing & similar representation tor the Exhibition of Taris, for which a certaln number of our Amerlcan cxbibitors hayo already secured thelr services. . i — e FOUR YEARS' DEPARTURE from the unreasanable high rates of dentistry. ‘The grateful public continae to throng the popular dental rooms, corner Clark nnd Handolph steects.
