Soapy Levy and two of his proteges were be- fore Justice Foote yesterday morning on the old, old charge of swindling, aud, after a long and tdflious examination, were held over to the Grand Juty in the sum of $5,000 eachi, The main facts in the case areas follows; A few weeks agoa man by the name of Charles Riddle, and his wife, came here from Grand Rapids, Mich., on their way. to Kansas. For want of 3 better place to stay, they went to the place of one Loftus, on Clark street.- Alexander Loftus, the son of the proprietor,; made himself very agrecable to Riddle, and soon learned that the lutter had $500 about his clothes. ~As’the Granger was ‘golng to Kansas it was quite nataral he should want & gun, and it was not long before he expressed a desire that Loftus should show him where to go for the article. Loftus, who is one of the Levy gang, of course piloted his unsuspecting friend to No. 22 North Canal strect, a den adjacent to Levy’s clothing- house. After the gun question bad been ‘dis- posed of it was @ very simple matter for Charles Harris, another youug reprobate in with the wang, to pull out 3 pack of cards and propose a pane with ‘the Granger. The latter was easily induced to try his Juck, and for a time all was ‘well with "him, and he smiled with satisfaction as he took in several small sums of money, and made 8 haul of a '$30 ‘gold watch. “Thus cucour- nued, be did what 3 thousand otlier fools have done before him—risked bis all with the mag- nificent idea that he was going to make his formume. Of course.he lost. cvery cent be bad. Lottus played the virtuous, and-did the proper amount of blustering, and threatened to have Hurris and Riddle arrested. Of course the latter s scared, and took his {eave ratler abruptly. He aiterwards ‘réported his loss to police ‘headquarters, xud, in.order to keép him quict in futiire, the gang of swindlers gaye him $120 asasortof a sop. But the palice lnid vio- lent hands on Riddle, and detained him as a vitness when the case should come up.” In the meuntime Levy suys be received a note signed “Yours truly” —nuv.blu{ more—uud sug- gestiug that ir evy could ar- range that matter with the Michizan Granger, the writer would pay him for.lis trouble.” Thercupon Levy employed ex-Detect- ive Chapin, who'is now in duress, Lo confer with the wituess aud endesvor to persuade him to Icave the State. The thing came to light, how- ever, some days ago, aud all hands were arrest- cd and beld for bearing. When the case came up betore Justice Summertield, tley all took a chavge of venue to Justice Foote, whence arose the proceedings of yesterday. morning. Prosc- cuting-Attoruey Bovdenand Mr. Atwater repre- sented the State and ‘the complainant respect- ively, while Bill Folker and & man pamed Hor- ton bolstered up the cause of the zang. - All the facts above detailed were gone oyer and over again,the defeose endeavoring “to show that the complainant enguged in a legiti- mate game of.gambling; that Levy had nothing to do with the matters that he did not own the , bat that theywere lcased to s man nuamed - Raymond, who, 2s the agent - for the uraperty testified, was not Levys thut it would be ridiculous to attempt to spiriv 8 Wwitness away when he was in charge ‘of ‘the Police De- ariment; o slort, that the whole gang were E’unmcu}ate apd could not be held, with the pos- siblc exeeption of Harris, who might be brought in under the_ clarge of gumbling. Horton claimed that Loftus was as pure as the driven snow—or sumething to inat eifect, “But Justfce Yorte sat. down upon all such pleadings, by quictly remarking that it was 1 quite obyious ihat Levy knew who stole the money, and that all three knew just how the woney was taken and from whom it was taken. Under'the circumstances, e could donoless than decide that there was sullicient evidence to hold all three to tho Grand'Jury, avd to put them undes bouds-of 35,000 eacti. THE CANATL. COMMISSIONER BRAINARD, TIn order to find out how much the canal had been damaged by the recent flood, and to get other information on the subject, a reporter of Tre Trisuxs culled on Commissioner Brainard yesterday, and had the subjoined interview with him. . «\What damage was done to the canal by the recent flood#"” . “Well, you know the Desplaines River broke jnto the vapalin thiree places at Willow Springs, washing away the bank and the tow-path#”? Yes, but how much will it cost to make the repairs??’ s . “tIn round figures, about $5,000 to excavate the earth. “ How much earth do .youestimate was de- posited in the canal?” « T should judgre about 5.000 cubic yards.” il much time be required to remove it * ¢ YWe have removed most of ‘it now,~enough :| sothat ‘boatscan, pass in a chanuel on the “berme ’ bank.

WHAT 1S THE PRESENT STATUS OF 'THE CANAL 50 far'as the delivery of water is'concerned?” “1t is not taking any water from the South Branch, and will not under sisty dags, as the supply Bow comes from the Desplaines. If it were not for the Ozden Ditch. we could clean the South Branch every three days.” : ln:}:;. is plenty of water in the cangl?” s 4 “What would be the effect on the South Branch of closing the gates ot the Summit, and keeping them so except when locking a vessel throurua?

HOYNE’S HEADQUARTERS. THE UNITED BTATES GRAND JURY | - sat again yesterday, and put the. finidhing touches to their rather protracted fnvestigation of the Cook-County.: National “Bank's- rot~ ten management. . The testimany is now all in, rather carlier than was auticipated. however, and ‘the investigators will, in all proba- bility, - present their findings to-morrow in the proper form. It is believed that they bave not yet made out an-indictment against Allen, but that they are deeply cogitating a5 to just what they shall 46 about ,the case. Judge Blodgett was out of ‘the city yesterday, 6o that an indictment could: not_ have been returned even if it had been prepared, and thére is good reason to believe that it has not yet been drawn up. After closing- their exawination of the bank case, the jury looked into the case of William Finkler, charged: with smuggling, and that of James Clifford, who was held by Com- missloner Hoyne on the~charge of tounterfeit: ing. The jipry failed to find an indictment zainst Clifford, and.° he . was - accordingly alfscharzed Irom jail. ' The jury, -after- fartlier considering one or two small cages, adjourned, without. returning any indictments, until to- morrow morning at 10 o'dlock. . WALSH, TIE DISTILLEE. District-Attorney Bangs and Jim Walsh, the distiller, have disagreed. Walsh's troubles with the Government, growing “out of his conuec- tion with the Au Sable distillery, have becn be- fore the public for some time, but the much- prosceuted Jim succeeded the other day in com- promising With the Government by the. pay- ment of a fine of §5,000, on the condition, as he stoutly maintains,. that be. was not to testify ecither for or against the Goverumesnt in any of the whisky cases. it seems. that there was either a queer misunderstanding as-to the precise terms of the compromise, or that Judee Bangs is .go- ing back on the arrangement. The difference of opiuion alluded to came to light yesterday morning. when the case of John C. Meyers, the wholesale vinegar man. of alleged crooked pre- dilections, came up before Commissioner Iloyne for bearing. Meyers was arrested a few days awo, it will be remnembered, on tbe charge of defrauding the Government out of its revenues, or, more particularly, of receiviog certain dis- tilled spirits and highwines to be used in vinegar-making {n & clandesting’ mafiner from the Au Sable distillers, on all of which the taxes had not been “paid. As Walsh bas an interest in the said concern, it was thought that his testimony might be of some fmportance in-trucing the matter to the bottom. He was, thereforé, sumimoned as a witness. The Com- missioner first listened to the tale of William McCabe and Henry Murphy, two Government witnesses, who testified to” having hauled, on one oceasion, fifteen barrels of the crooked from the distillery to a point abaut three blocks from Walsh’s place in Chicago, Here they were met by the two Goslins, Tom and Billy, who direct- ed them where to unload the stuff. They ar- rived onc night last July, and, during a hegvy rafo-storm, unloaded - the goods, aud ~ returned @ to the - ‘distillery. Thelr lame deseription of the place where_tuey dumped the crooked would scem to indicate that it was at Meyers’ vinezar factors, wiich happens to be at " No. 11¢ North Désplaines strect, “about three blocks from Walsh’s.” Having potten all these witnesses could tell, the Dist%cl Attorney called upon Walsh to take the stand. He was then asked how far Meyers’ factory wes from his distillery.’ Thercdpon Walsli rather indignantly replied thas he should refuse to answer any questions put to him for the reasons as above stated. Messrs. Pope and Vocke, Meyers’ attorneys, objected to the question. Judge Baogs offered to refer it to an_arbitra- tion committes consistinz of ouc—Commis- sioner Hoyne. " "That functionary, however, was opposed to deciding so unportant a question, and said be preferred to leave the matter to Judge Blodgett. 2 Judge Bangs pressed Walsh for an answer, but the latter still refused to be catechized, and remarked that the District Attorney couldn’t bamboozle him; that'if the officer had gone ont- side of his authority in making this compromise be would have to take the conscquences. As everything was at a standstill, Judee Bangs azréed to give the witness till -3 o'clock to decide whther he wonld” answer questions or xot. : 5 When the case again came.up at 2 o’clock, Walsh refused, irmly but respectfully, to an- swer the questions whether he- knew the de- fendant; whether he . bad heard the previous testimony; whether he had any knowledge of the dzlivery in Chicago by Murphy and McCabe of any distilled spirits or highwines during the last, fifteen months; and whether he- knew of any directions bavinz been given these persons concerning said delivery. To -the Jlast inter- rogatory Walsh replicd that if he wds to answer he would say no, but that be should stiil de=line to become a wi Judge Bangs had taken down the guestions and noted the refusal of the witness to apswer. "He pow proceeded to incorporate these in a motion to commit the witness, for conzcmft.. and,’ ‘having gottzn’ evervtbing ready, he banded the document to Commis- sioner [loyne, who signed it. The Judge was about to take the paper up-stairs and deposit it with Judge Drummond, when Meyers'attorneys asked fof a delay until Monday worning for the purpose of talking the matter over with the re- fractory witness, and endeavoring to. persuade him that his bst course will be to tell all be knows. The request was granted. Uuless Walsh should. repent of his decision by that time, §udge Bangs will apply to Judge Blodgett for th ose of having him committed for coutempt. _The Judge isists that his arrange- ment with«Walsh was that the latter was not’to testify acainst the Government, but there was no promise that he should not be callei upon to testify for the Government if his evidence be- caue necessary. ¥ 2 BANRKRUPTCY MATTERS. ol " Au involuntary pesition was filed Friday afternoon against Newton Rappelse, a boot and sboe dealer at No. 123 Twenty-second street, and n member of the former, tirmof Ruppelye & Boutecou., The petitioning creditors are- D. Wriirht & Co., who claim $911.75; Cowles, Cur- tis & Co., $339.70; and Baleh, Kent & Co.. $830, and they charge on the 13th of - April oe made an assigmment, ot all his_property to William. J. Bishopp with intent to delay,’defraud, or hinder his creditors, and on the same. day concealed himselt to avold service of legal process, and left the district. He is wholly insolvent. In January last, when e became indebted to the petitioning creditors, he represented that hehad | a stock of boots. and shoes worth 35,000, and owed no debts, and on these ropresenta- tions he obtaided credit. Since January Lic' has bought §5,000 worth of goods,on which he made no_payments. The stock which was assigned to Bishopp was only worth $4,000, showing a deficit of $6,000 since January. ' Mr. Bishopp is frresponsible, and it fe charged, be'is seting in collusion with Rappelye, aud in bis interest, Since_ lis appointmeni he_ has kept the store closed, and has recently sold nearly all the ods at wholesale for cash, many at s loss of i3 per cent. He has refused to give auy infor- mation of his proceedings, or of the amount realized, and the petitioners fear that be is in- tending to.clear out and join Rappelye as soou 88 "he bas disposed of the re- mainder - of the stock. A rule to show cause was issued; also, a warrant for. the arrest of Rappelye and Bishopy. the bail be- ing fixed at $3,000; a warsant for the seizure of the goods, and nn injunction to prevent Bisnoppe{rom selling or otnerwise disposing.of auy of Rappelye’s property iu his possession. THE FIFTH WARD. RESULT OF A RECOUNT. =~ The Special Committee, consisting of Ald. ‘Throop, Stewart, and Waldo, appointed to can- ‘vass the returns of the late municipal election in the Fifth Ward, “‘and count the votes if necessary,” met yesterday afterngon in the Council Chamber. 1t will be remembered that ii'that ward there were three candidates for the office of Alderman—Messrs. David Dunpe, Jobn D. Tully, and Peter Leddy, From the returns made by the police on the night of election it appeared tbhat Dunne was clected, and by tbe count made by the judges of clection Dunne was elccted. the fguring of Mr. Joln Moody, the Cit{ Clerk’s assistant,. it ‘appeared that Dunne and Tully had_eacli received 1,313 votes. About that iime Tully appeared” with the “notification that ' be was. couviuced that the election had not- been conducted properly, | and that, it the votes were counted, he it would be found could justly claim’ the office. Heuce the appointing and ‘instructing of the Committee aforesaid. ~ They met yesterday and the candidates, with their Moran aud John Forsythe for Mr. Duone, and Mr. John Bontield for Mr. Tully—iere present. . The Committee Was at fitst at 2 oss 0 know Iow to proceed. The Jawyers of the diffierent sides, of course expressed diverse opinions, and at last City-Attorney Tuthill was called in. The latter pentleman said that tbe Committee should proceed Lo carry ont the instrucions given by the Council in the resolution that had been 'sdupted. He rcad the' reso- lauon, sud the Committee commenced the vomparisou of the poli-books and tally-sheets, and the count of the ballots. The work keps vhe Committee several hours, and the showing as that in the First Precinct of the ward Tully liad seven votes more than were'accredited to him on the returns; in the Fourth Precinet, two more: Fifth Precinet seven more; aod Seventh Precinct two more. .Duune gained two both in ‘the Second and Sixth Precincts: The two disputed precincts were the Fifth and the Third, where both sides Iaid particalar stréssupon the inacenracy of the retarns, which showed in the *Fifth that Danne had reecived 143 votes and Tully 436 The "canvass showed that Duonoe had received 77 votes and Tully 443, or a majority grester by 66 votes. than given bim ‘in_ tbe returns. Among the baliots of that precinct. were-found 45 which:contained no pame of . candidate for Alderman, and 11 ballots for candidates other than Tally and Dunne,” The total of these— 66—added to 77,~the number of straight Dulne votes, asascertained by the canvass,—inake. 143, orthe pumber givenby the judges to Dunnc. Thercfore it would appear that the judges had taken upon themselyes to cast those stray votes forDunne. 1In the Third Precinct the returns were:” Dunue, 405: Tully, 133. The count makes it: Dunne, 397; Tully, 145. Therefore, outside of the Tully gain in the Fifth Precinct Tully bas a_gain of 22 yotes. and_conceding Dunne the 143 votes in the Fifth Precinct re- turns, Tully would " still have a rhajority of 23 votes. The total vote of the ward is: Tully, 1,331; Dunne, 1,236. ~Tully’s majority, 93. ‘Lhose are the facts that the Comumittee will report to the Conncil as the result of ther labors, and they will probably be acted upon and the controversy disposed of immecdiately, as Dunne announced that be shonld make no further contest. * {t can be easily drawn from the result of the Committee’s work that there. is o surprising smount of carclessness, ig- norance, or untrustworthiness displayed by cer- tain judges of election. That Alderman who recommended the sppointment of the judges Who committed the above-noted errors should be Proud of his work. Mr. Tully is a Republican, and the first one elected fromn the Fifth Ward in many years. HAPPILY SETTLED. THE MICHIGAN AVENUE BAPTIST CRURCT. & When the Michigan Avenue Baptist Church as built, and the congregation hud come to consider and ponder over the cost, it was ascer- tained that they were in debt about $30,000 for the land and $145,000 for the building. And the trouble has been for several years that no- body could perceive any sensible diminution of this great burden. Onthe contrary, it bas in- creased, the fire and the pavic, with their conse- quent train of evils, making it very diflicult for the congregation to pull through with the regular payments. Yet, in spite of all this, by the aidof several private subscriptions, the debt wiis reduced to $100,000, av which figureit stood a year ago. But the prospect of cutting down thiis amount seemed almost hopeless, at Jeast in the near fature, aud there was indced some talk about the Smpriety of abandoning the church cdifice, and building a more unpretentious one in snother locality. . This flan, however, was given up, the members wisely concluding it best to remain where they were, utilize what they bad, and cndeavor by close economy to finally wipe out their large'debt. It will be remem- bered that Dr. Ellis, the pastor, believing the condition of the church to be hopeless, resigned his charge and went_away. To make matters worse, a number of members withdrew, sod many of the pews were given up, thus decreasing the wusual annual ~revenuc from that source, At this stage Dr. L. D. Boone stepped forward and generons- ly assumed $32,000 of the indebtedness. ‘Ihis reduced the debt to something like $60,000, which sum inciuded both principal and interest, but which has since been increased to nearly 855.0?0 by the addition of $5,000 of unpaid in- terest. In May, 1878, TIE REV. J. W. CU: ‘was called by a unanimous vote to the pastorate. He accepted, and entered upon his work the lst of June ensuing. Although seven-cignths of the congregation did not believe It possible to save the property on account of the terrible financial ~deoression through- out the county, yet they all rallicd heroicall around their pastor. He was greatly favo: by accessions to the church by fi:’tter and bap- tism, and 8 new epirit scemed to be infused throughout every branch of the work. Early last September he was compelled to face the enormous debt by a uote from the President of tie Union Mutual Life Insurance Compauy of Maine, calling for the payment of back inter- est and additlonal security for the large amount of money that Company had loaned the church. Mr. Custis soon made firm friends of the Presi- dent, Mr. Jobm_E. Dewitt, Mr. E. R. Scecomb, the Superintendent of Loans; and Mr. Warfield, the Financial Agent of the Company in this city, who were . fmpressed by his evident de- termination to pay the debt. When, however, Mr. Custis spoke to his congregation on the subject they shook their heads in despair and began to reproach themselves. for having in- dugced bim to put himdelf under such a%oad, only, ad it seemed, to be crushed by it. He at once shouldered the burden, and without the knowledge of a single member of his congrega- tion entered into a negotiation with the Insur-. ance Con;glmy for a settlement of a little more than oneMalf of the debt. He was greatly hiudered by an illness of six wecks during the winter, caused by overwork, but succeeded, not- withstanding, in secaring o firm basis for the negotiation upon which he had entered. When success seemed to hita-more than probable, a few weeks 2o, be announced to the congrega- tion what_he was doiug, and the people were dumb with unbelief, as he expresses it. During the past week Mr. DeWitt and Mr. Seccomb have been in the city, and thework of Mr. Custis bas been consummated. The arrange- ment inyoives the payment of a second mortzage of §23,000, which s entirely provided for by vontributions from various gentlemen, and"‘the pagmeut of $10,000 or $12,000 of back interest. Generous contributions bave alrcady been made by Messrs. A, B. Meeker, John H. Wrenn, Jobn K. Rowley, D. G. Hamilton, Willism Sard, and -others, and services of great value have been rendered by Messrs. Norman T. Gassctte, Cyrus Bentley, and B. F. Jacobs, those of Mr. Gassctte being deserving of spe- cial mention. The pastor now contemplates with intense satisfaction the reduction of the debt from $100,000 to $30,000, which sum, at the low race of interest thie church is paymg, will be abundantly provided for during the coming year. This glad news is There an- nounced ~ to its mcembers for the first time, but *will he commented upon by the astor this morning. It will probably sucgest tself to some minds that it would be.a good thing if atew other zent!emen of the cloth, in this city and all over tie country, were to imitate Mr. Custis' energeticand praiseworthy action. OBITUARY, MOSES W. LESTER: Yesterday’s TRIBUNE contained 2 brief men- fiou of the terrible accident which befel Mr. Moses W.

Batler furnishes the following:memo- randum of in inspection of wheat here for the Grt 21 daye of Aprilin three years: 1,178 The inspection of wheat into store during the past week was 50 car-londs, which is Jess tnan any previous week in the current crop year. Thein- Bpection one year ago for onc duy was 70 cazs, and do two years 199 cars, . o “An order was received herc Satarday for 4 car- 1oads wheat (o g6 Lo a millerin Beloit, Wiscbnsin; haif isto be Minnesots No, 2, and the rest straight No. 2. A Still more; a vessel-load of our No. 2 spring wheat 1 to be shippea to Milwaukce, where it will be mixed with enough rejected to make it pasa muster a8 Milwaukee No. 3, when the whole will be shipped East.” As Milwaule quotes herNo. 3 abont 1c higher than Chicago quotes No. 2, there i room for a little profit on the transaction, But Why there should be this bigdifference isa mystery. The elevators in this city.were carcfully gone throagh in the Istter part of Jast week by parties in the trude, and they aay that some of our No. 2 Dins are fully equal to Milwaukee No. 2, and that the rest was worth as much within 2c per bo. One chief reason for the wide diference is eaid to have been the fear entertained by shippers that they would have old wheat served out to them if they boaght here. There is now reason to think that the quantity of this 0ld wheat on hand has beea greatly overstated. It hasbeen claimed to be some 400, 000@600, 000 b, but the pasties referred to conld only find 23,000 bu of it in the *: city,” and 40,000 bu in the ** Air-Line ” clevators. And one of them clairged that that whest is worth more than the new, as it weighs 60 1bs o’ the measured bu, while the new only weighs 5§ 1bs. It isstranze how price makes a difference in quality. When our No. 2 wheat was below $1 it was poor, aud could mot be trusted. Now itis in the neighborhood of SL.50 it is first-class in every respect, though the very same wheat, And yet the grain trade is the embodiment of wisdom't The leading produce markets were generally stronger Saturday, with rather less activity.in the sggregate. Some of the markets were much high- er, especially wheat. Thenews wos not more war- like than that of preceding days, and the weather was fine; but foreign markets continned firm, and the impression here was reneral that war cannot be averted, though Tarkey was understood to have sssumed & less defiant attitude than heretofore. The receipts were again small, except in corn, and there was not much demand for shipment, oatside of wheat. There was an active movement in domestic dry- £oods, and a steady set of prices. Reports from the interjor represent a good basiness in progress, 2nd orders for reassortments are stll pouring in from all quarters. Groceries were meeting with a very good demand from the city and country trade, and prices, except for a few of the minor articles, were firmly sustained. Sugars were szin exeited 2nd advancing, both raw and refined grades moved upajje. llere the stock is very small, and at the Eust aleo there is 5 marked deficiency in’ compari- eon with last year, Viewed from a statistical stand-point, the sugar market has rarely occapied £0 strong a position as at present, snd the chances are strongly in favor of & continuance of high prices throughont the season. Coffees were firmer thanat the beginning of the week, the demand baving improved some of ~lIate. Sirops and molasses were dull, but firmer, in sympathy with sugars. Teas are receiving rather more attcntion and seem to be working a little firmer. The aried-fruit market was fairly active and Grm for raisins, prunes, carrants, and apples, while other kinds were dull. Old prunes were again advanced; now quoted at 6@63c. Fish were in fair request at previous guotations. No changes were apparent in the position of the bat- terand cheese murkets, dullness and depression Deing the leading featares of both. The oil trade was fairly active, with most descriptions ‘ruling steady. The exceptions]were carbon, which was off a tc; turpentine, which was quoted 1c lower; and linseed, in which the tendeacy was strongly to an advance.. Leather, bagging, tobacco, coal, and wood remain as before, * llogs were active and firmer, with sales of lizht 1 $5.50@5. 40, and of paor o choice heavy grades at$5.25@5.60. Cattle were in good demand, and were firm ‘st Friduy's prices, at' $3.50@5.75 for common to choice. * Sheep were nominal at $4.00 @6.00. The retail Jumber market was fairly active at ir- regular prices. Five or more cargoes were sold at the docks Saturday, piece-staff bringing $7.50@ 8.C0—the ontside for Manistee. The receipts sill consist of vld and new lumber and odd lots, and the scason s scarcely open. Manufacturers are preparing to start up the mills, and some who have a supply of logs are already running. Larger re- ceipts may be- expected this weck.
