Dunbam, after he came home from Europe. was the man who converted witneesto o belief in the necd and .usefulness of & system of parks and boulevards around Chicazo, to be laid out before the price of outside Jand rose too high. Tae TrisUSE did not change fronton the guestion, asit had beenin favor of a comprehcnsive park system for some time. 1f Mr. Eddy eaid that wit- ness told him that Tz TRIDUNT would not oppose the adorlmn of the Park bill on the ground that he had an interest in any South Park property he was mistaken, Ar. Truesdell detafled the evidence given by Ed- dy, and the witness said that it was impossible that he conld have made any such statement, for sucn ‘wonld not have been true. He believed that Eddy opposed one or both of the Park bills, and stumped ainet one: did not remember which one it was. Al that part of Eddy’s staiement eaying that wi ness had told him Tite TrinuNE was **intluenced " was a micstatement and_erroncous, Witness n er owned an inch of land in common_ with Cowles, orw.th White, ur anybody. Mr. White at one time owned some land in Hyde Park some distance from the Cowles lot. which witness believed_was about two and one-half acres in extent. White ‘bought his land in connect on with a Loston man named Rand, and sold it not long afterwards at slight advance on what he paid. ~The purchase, he thought, was between the time of the paesage of the two Park acts. \itness was quite sure that Cowles had nothing more to do with park ‘‘op- tions™ or gifts than Mr. Truesdell had. Mr. Cowles being absent, witness deemed it his duty to protect that gentlemen's reputation asainst false nepera.ons, and accordingly he detailed what he knew of Cowles' purchase. Tne latter asked witness to join him in the purchase of some six to ten acres of land in Hyde Park, but witness re- fused, the price being 1oo hizch—more than it was ‘worth in his opinion. Cowles thouaht dilferently, and afterwards bought a partof the laud. paying for it in cash. He still owned the same Jand. The conrse of T TRINGNE wasin no wey induenced in the passage of the Park act. 50 faras witness DLad sny knowledze, by any other consderation or motive than that the park system would e a 2004 thine for Chicago. 1f there wereany ‘‘options™ hic only heard of them asone of the vague ramors about the strects.

A TRINITY OF CRIME. Grand Combination of Burglary, Murder, and Arson. A Nocturnal Raid on a Dwelling in the Town of Lake. Chloroforming the Ynmates---The Strug- gle Between the Burglars and Hegwein. - Four Persons Arrested Suspeoted of Being the Guilty Parties. The boldest and most dastardly outrage that bas been perpetrated in this neighborhood for a long timg, occurred at an early hour yesterday morning in & building at the corncr of Forty-sixth street and Wentworth avenue. and combines robbers, ‘burglary, murder, and arson, either one of which crimes is beyond the attainment of a large majority of our criminals. The place is situated about on the northern ontskirt of a small village that has grownupin the town of Lake, near the Chicago, Rock Island & Paclfic Railroad machine shops, and midway between the Stock Yards and Englewood. 1tis 2 lonely and desolate eniongh place even in the sunshine, and at darkitis far from being the safest sort of a place for a wayfarer. The neighborhood is inhabited almost solely by the poor working classes, a great macy of whom at the present timo areont of employment. And, as the old sdage runs, ‘*Satan finds some mischief still for idle hadds 1o do,” ot & few of them turn out as desperadoes or horse-thieves, Not that the tragedy abont to be related was the result of any such combination of circumetances; it is but only asingle incident in_the serics of crimes that hare happened or are liable to happen in that forlorn suburban section. THE SCENE is a two-story frame house, situated on the east side of Weniworth avenue, about 75 feet north of Forty-sixth street.-. The lower A-‘:n'l. is occupied as a grocery, and a well-condncted one it Is evident- 1y, by Charles Frederic Hegweln, a German 5% years of age. The upper foor i3 occupied 281 Tesidence by himself and a duughter, who is mar- ned to a rather comely youns mah bearing the name of William Carey. These, and the offspring of the married couple, & child about 18 months of age, arc tne sole occupauts of the house. There is 0 two-story addition to the grocery in the rear, but the floors of the two sections of the house appear to have gotten as far away from each otner as poesible, a descent of 8 fcw sleps being necessary to enter the addition. There is a front stairway, as ia nsnal in all euch houses, that opens to the sidewalk by the strect door, and alto opens into the grocery by & side door. I the rear there i8 an outside stairway that is boilt up against the orizinal building and 1 the corner formed by the addition, which is pot_quite so wide 8 the original builling. Midway on this stairway there isu landing, directiy opposite s window tnat ad ‘mits light to the rear of the grocery. . There is nothing else necessary for_the description, save, perhaps, a casual remark that the ncatness' of the inaide of the house fs .8 vivlent contrast to ‘the roughness and ecrubbiness of the outside, just a8 with many men, to whom a house may be likened in many differcnt ways. DESIDES THE RELATIVES MENTIONED, Hegwein bas a son, Marx Hegwein, who |8 em- ployed on the railroad as a brakeman or in some other .subordinate capacity; another som, who is older and sbsent from the city; and a ncphew named Charles Everly, whohas ihe reputation of being an exccedingly bad young man, and his ap- pearance certainly does not belie the wicked character tuat is accorded him. Financially the old zentlemen is & success, and these young and Ciscolute relatives are always looking to him for some slight acknowledgment of the blood relation- ship. And, althongh the old gentleman has been rather carcless in handling his money, and in hav- ing 100 mueh about him all the time, yet he has been rather severc with them, probably be- cause he understood as well as the rest of the world the irresolute and dissipated ways of the young men. Generally., JIr. Hegwein carried about &'sum varying trom $300 to S300, but Friday this wa« increased to very nearly $300, 2s the day previous was pay-cay at the machine-ghope, ana the day following was collection-day among the cmployes of the shop for Hegwein and other dusi- ness men in the gettlement. TO GAIN POSSESSION OF THIS MONEY was undoubtedly the calculation of the curglars, and the other cames were committed, not perhaps 5o mnch with 2 desire to commit wurder to get the old man out of the way entirely as with a deter- mination_to cover up all ‘tracee of their theft, But in otiempting the robbery they found themselves nearly foiled, and com- mtied tae gssnlt mercy to insare success, and once cmbarsed in S0 bloody an undertaking they did their best to end it in such a way that no evidence of their crime conld remain. Looking over the scene of the ailray shortly after its ocour- rence, the following would cem to be a straight story of HOW THE DEED WAS PLANNED AND EXE- CUTED. That he nephex wastho inspirer of the ttempt there is allezed to be no doubt, bat as yet there 13 nothing but a vague susji:ion against the son, which s entertained by the police und the neigh- bore. The burglars were four in namber, and at least two of them knew all aboat the house, its in- ternal arrangement. and mach about Mr. Iegwein's habits of bfe. Entrance was gained throuyh the window opposite the landing. Thence entering the grocery, they forced open the till, can- taining about §5.50 in_carrency, ttole a quantity, of tobacco and ciears, rifled the coutents of the candy jars, and enjoyed themselves on Lhe best the grocery afforded. 2,1 this was done in €0 quicta manner that the slecpers above heard nothing. They then entered the hallway by the side door, ond going up-staire. chloroformed, Carer, hie wife, and child, who were aslcep in a bedroom just at the side of the landing at the top of the stairs. Ttummaging the parfors and {ront bedrooms, they found a small pastcboard box in an anoccupied room, which contained about $150 worth' of jewelrr, consisting of s watch and chain. racclcts, ringe, and jewels, ~the - property of Mrs. Carey.—another fact that shows that the burzlare knew exactly where to find thines. Passing from this main portion of the bnilding through the kitchen door, they descended to the second floor of the addition, in the rear room of which Hegwein was in the habit of sleen- inz. Opening tne door to this room cautiouels, and strewing the chloroform with a eponge, they were DETECTED BY HEGWELN, who had been restless all nizht, and who was cazily awakened by the unaccountable smell in his room. From the faint glimmer of the light on a table at his bedside he saw they were strangers, and was abont to raise an alarm when three of them (the fourth was left as guard on the out- side) pounced down upon him and beat him unmercifully. onc of them covering his face with one hand containing a sponge saturated with chio- roform, and with the other hand choked him so that he couid make no noise. Another secured the coveted wealth, which was in a pocket-book under the pillow. Notwithetanding the almost overpow- cring fames of the drog, Hegwein made a_valiant and_sturdy resistance, and made considerable headway against his antagonists, Suddenly, as he was beating them off 2s only 3 powerful, Enewy man can do, 3 knife was plunged into his leg, a “gecond lunge left a deep gash on the left side of the head, a dozenstunning biows with some dull in- strument closed up the left eye, left the checks bruised_and mangled in a terrible condition, smushed in his mouth, broke thebridge of the nose, and badly bruised the top of the head. Still he fought well, and_sgain the knifc was uscd, this time making o jagied gash from a point on the forchead above the left eye and renning down into the corner of the eye, badiy lacerating ir. and thence across the noscinto th opposite cheek. A terrific blow with some dull insirument fractured he right parietal boneof the skull, very closc to ‘the juncture with the temporal bone, —a most vul- uerable Elncn. And despite all this—no worse ‘beating short of one causing death can be concelv- ed of—the sturdy German «till lives, orat least did Tive at a late hour last evening. This bloody encounter happened at about 2:30 in the morning. as nearly as can be ascertained, for it was neariy 3 o'clock when MB. CAREY WAS AWAKCNED BY IIS WIFE, who had been awakened by the'chiid. ~She was alarmed at the strange smell. and insisted upon ber husband geiting up to investizate, a thinz which he fouud himeelf utterly unable todo. Finally a few-gusts of fresh wind through an open door aronsed him to the reality of the situation. A hasty look was taken throughout the honee, and cvery door found open. Finslly they went to arouse the old gentleman, and upon’ entering a most horrid sight met their eyes. By the dim ligat he was secn in what appeared a dying condition, his face 3. mass of pulby flesh reddened with cupious streams of blood, and the room smelling strongly of chloro- form, the bottle in whichit was carried having been broken in the encounter. ATTEMPTED ARSON. Either after committing_the outrage, or before proceeding up-stairs, the rafiians drewsome hot coals from thestove in the grocery, and threw them on the_floor in close proximity to a pile of kindling and a kerosene_barrel, but, by an inter- osition of Providence, the coals eoon burned out, eavine large black holes in the flooring, bt doing no further damage. This devilish deed was de- signed to consume the boilding and its somnolent occupants, and obliterate sl traces both of the robbery and_the sttempt at maurder, in which the burglszs undogibtedly believed themselves to have succeeded. This is the most damning proof against the devilish youngster who planned the as- sanlt and robbery. The situation was 50 bloody & one as to be real- ized at 3 single glance, and. without making any farther investigation, Dr. W. W. Goodall, who re- rides immediately scross the street, Was sum- moned. He dresged the wounds already described, and worked for hours before the patient could be restored to_congclonsness, 8o that some explana- tion might be_glesned. ‘-1t was a tongh Mruggle for mastery between life and death,” enid the Doctor in speaking of it yesterday. In the morn- Treory, Juret. Thomas Gaban. of the Town of Lake pollce, visited the place and gleaned from the old man's conversation, and bis rambling statc- mente, that his nephew was suspected 28 being the instigator of the assault upon him. Tms supposition was - still farther fortified by Mra. Carey recollecting that, while her nephew had ‘een Jounzing about the house Thusdar aiternoon. £he saw him remove the stick with-which the rear Wincos was nsnally fastened, and saw him close the blinds te the window in hiz uncle’s room, a thing that the uncle never thought of doing. The eame afternoon he sent 2 strange man to the store with rome books, and lic too was seen_taking note of everythinz about him. On 80 good a scent, Serat. Gahan soon ARRESTED TNE NEPOEW at the house of John kline, No. 4310 State street, With whom young Everly was boarding. This lat- Ter man shown 1o Mr. Hegwein and_was posttively identified by him as the man who did the chloro- formins. 1lle, too, is about as rough-looking ¢ mankind generally set, and even matched ith the dogzed wicked-looking urphew. Tate in the evening two other boarders of Kline's, Jamed John and Lawrence Nolan, were arreated in the central part of the city by the Lake police, aided by Detectives Scott and ‘Steel of the Pty force. Nothing was found upon any of the yprisoners that would implicate them in the crime, but Sergt. Gahan fecls assured that the right men are in custody. Late yesterday a TRIBUNE reporter VISITED THE MUCH-INJURED MAN, and found him in a condition infinitely better than could be expected. The effect of the chloroform Bad worn away, and he talked quite rationally about the affair, and reitcrated the statement that the police had the right men. ©AVill be recover?” asked the reporter of Dr. Gaodall, who was standing near by, *\hat Is pretty hard to say, still there are some chauces,” was the reply. *‘The skuil is un- Goabiedly fractured, but Mr. Hegwein is a firm, stalwart man, and may cobscquently survive. To-morrow and the next day will bring much ad- ditional inflammation aud swelling, together with ‘bad pain, and he may not live through it, but I hope to sce hiin get w “'his ended the conversation, and the reporter etarted for home, with the promise from the Doc- torthat the Chicazo public would be kept well informed of Hegwein's condition day by day. DESOLATION AND DESPAIR. Let the reader estimate as he reads his paper this bright morning, the desolation and grief that abounds in St. Louis among the hundreds of friends of the victims of the Southern Hotel fire. Let him take a practical lesson to himsclf and protit by it, and ever hereafter shun the fire-traps in the shape of hotels. Wnen travel- ing avoid those terrible holocausts. No Lostelry is worthy of public patronage that is built of pine lumber with stone vencering. Chicago has the only fire-proof hotel in America,—the mag- nificent Palmer Bouse,—which has morc money Jaidaway between its partitions and floors in the shape of iron beams and iron laths, than it cost to build the other largest hotels in the city. The Palmer House will never burn any more than the Coliseum at Rome. —————— AN ADMIRABLE PUBLICATION. We have just received from Dr.'Justin Hayes a compact and very valuable treatise on the use of Galvanic and Faradaic currents in the treat- ment of disease in conncction with his now widely cclebratell Electro-Thermal Baths.
