Very few signaturcs have .been obtained to the document, howerver, because the great majority of those to whom it was present- 2d felt that, the matter being before the Leois- lature, it w2s proper to await the report of the Committee and sce what their recommendation was before calling upon the courts to take any action fo the premises.

You want to keep the head of that keg wet so that it won't shrink in the sun.” * No, sir,” re- lied the saloon-keeper, I want to keep the geadof that keg wet so that there will be no encouragement for basted idiots to sit down on it and talk about the depression of the times and what the result on lLusiness might have been if the Electoral Commission had counted in Tilden. That’s why.” A 5 W. B. LANGLEY. Mr. W. B. Langley, of No. 172 Clark stree takes excéptions to certain statcments containe: in the report published in THE TRIBUNE of yes- terday, after the trial of Josepl Lonergan & Co., before Justice Foote, Mr. Langley states that he is not 2 member of the firm of Joseph Lonergan & Coj; that he was beforc Justice Foote as a witness against Lonergan for Luce & Co., and not as a defendant; that he did not into Foote’s office with Lonergan and B Toite, Cbat with | Mr. Luce, - who came after him at his office; that he swore that he did know Lonergan and bad done sofora year and a half; and that he did produce cer- Tain original letters that he had written to par- ties who had inquired of him about Lonergan & Co.

Carpenter, living at No. 105 Dearborn _avenue, committed . sui- cide by shooting himself in the head and side in his room. His death was discovered by a serv- “ant girl who went to his room to clean it aud fonnd the door locked. She knew that he was in the room, and since it was unusual to findit locked, induced her to knock at the door and call him. No response being mede, eho told his wife, and, procuring a step-ladder, his body was scen through the transom stretched upon the floor, the blood still oozing from his wounds. “The door was forced o] ‘and he was found almost lifeless. By his s‘ide 'was a Hopkins & Allen revolver, five- shooter, containing one undischarged cartridee, and on the bureau near his prostrate form was 2 goblet coptaining about 3 tablespoonful of Jsndsnum, The indications were that he had taken some of the lsudanum, and, scating him- 8 p. m., 50, self beside and o front of the bureau, fired the fatal shots, for it appeared that the ball’ which penetrated the right side of ' his head above the ear had passed obliguely up and out, at the top and embedded itself in the bureau. -The wound in the left side ‘was just below the heart. and appeared to have been first inflicted. Deputy-Coroner Korn held the inquest in the _afternoon. The evidence brought out the above facts, and the additional one that the deceased attempted suicide by cutting his throat just after the great fire, arnd that he had since been melancholy and at times partially deranged. The jury rendered a verdict that hc came to his death as above described . while suffering_from temporary insanity. He was 59 years of age, and Jeaves a wife and several small children. - PUTTING A ST. LOUIS MAN DOWN. - The deepest dejection presails in St. Louls over the ignominious outcome of the Southern Hotel fire. A.man coming up on the! Alton Road a few nightsago tried to provoke some sympathy ana create a_reputation for himeell by alleming that he had been there, and describ- Ing the fearful scencs he had witnessed, but in less than a quarter of an hour the smoking-car was deserted or filled by sleepers, while his last surviving auditor, wil a full-sized No. 13 yawn, remarked tolim: *Seehere, sonny, Iwon't pe too hard on you, for perhaps you 2in’t to blame for being born or brought ub at St. Louls, and now you’re coming away from it, whichisa point in your favor. But don't yon come botherng people with' your fire stories. Itwas a good enough little smoulder for St. Louls; bur, Lord! the Chicago fire-brigade puts out bigeer fires than that every day in the week on still-alarms, because the firemen know peo- ple wouldn’t_be bothered ofng a block or two to see a smudge with only $700,000 or $800,000 damage. You sce those things in TRE TRIB- UNE, stuck away off in an unfrequented corner among the market reports, like this: A still-alarm was given from Dox 999 yesterday afternoon, The fircmen were promptly on hand, and extinguished the fire, which destroyeda small three-story warchouse, containing goods valned nt $1,275,000. Insurance about $350.000. Several men were buried by a falling wall, and all killed but two, who cannot recover. Some other minor accidents were aleo reported. . e “Yes, sonny,” continued the Chicazo man, kindly, “you sce columns after columns of that sort ot items in the Chicago papers, and people, generally skip them. Your little fire wasn’t considered worth space in the Zimes, {rinstance, and Tae TRIBGNE wouldn’t havesivenit more’n a ‘Telegraphic Brevity? if it hadn’t been it was ascoop. Jou talk about fires! Did you ever, have the National Board companies withdraw {from St. Louis? In coursenot. They knew the blamed old village hadn’t enterprise enough to burn up. You needn’t cry, sonny,” he added. kindly; “you made a very good ‘attempt for such 3 town, and if you only persevere and gct out a few more directories, some of thesc days you may perhaps be able to get up a blaze such " as we have in off-years. But don't talk so much about little things of no interest,—pcople will think you haven't traveled.” The St. Louis man burst into tears, and ever afterwards held his peace. MAKING SURE. POR THE FIRST OF MAY. Yesterday a married-looking man with a hag- gard appearance and a big club called in at the -Signal-Service Observer's office, and said ab- ruptly and with a certain ficrceness: *“Be you Mr. Probs? Yoube? Well, hear me. Tell me the truth. Nochenanagin. What gort of weather are you putting up on us for the 1st of Mayi? So astonished was the observer at this iy him utterly unexpected questionithat he could only stare and gasp. O, I've caught you atit, have 127 said the stranger waving his club threaten-. ingly, and speaking with a_sneer bitterer than wormwood, *You were just fi ug out an arca of barometric disturbances, low barometer, waterspouts, typhoous, rain, thundcr, sleet, and chain-lightoing for the Nortinwest and Lake Region, were vou? 1don’t know butl ought to. kil you aund take my chances beforc an” unprejudiced jury = of men who were going” to move,” and knew how it was themselves.” The observer herc gained breath to say that such was not by an means his intention; “In fact,” he continued, “I haven't given the weather for the 1st of May a particle of thought as yet.” *O, that’s too thin,” yelled the infuriated_stranger; * You're playing me for a sucker. I've seen all these paragrapbs in the papers about having to close up public offices because the appropriations wele cxhausted, and just out of sheer spite you'll give us a’ regular day of wrath, and say ou aiu't responsible. Now, he said, speaking more calmly, ** I'm a married man. I'ye moved before. I'm going to move again next Tuesday. If it rains_it'll spoil about $50 worth of the 1hings, besides $10,000,000 worth of my wife's temper. €0, you needn’t look eurprised and think that's &n excessive valuation, If you only knew her as I do; if vowd only had a welt from a dust-broom down the back of your head you could put three fingers into— out never mind. Now, we've put up with this long enough. What do we pay our taxes for and have electoral commissions for? If it's 1air weather Tuesday weeit that’s all right. You'll be the biggest man in Chicago, and if you want to be tun for Mayor, or anything, you'll have the vote of the people who movyed, on the Ist of May solid. But just you let it rain, just you let it sprinkle, and then look out. Mind; I téfl_you now. Fair warning,” and, with an empbatic rap of his' club on tne table that made the anerold barometer jump up to 38.66 and the wind-gauge spin round and indi- cate a velocity of 126 miles an hour, the mys- terious stranger departed. CHARITY. To the Ladies: The Brothers of the Alexian Hospital, North Market strect, beg leave to ap- DIy to the charity of the ladics of the city who ure enabled to dispose of linen bed-cloties, tow- els, ete., for the need and the use of tae sick. Formerly the Brothers were enabled to procare these article in larre quantities at wholesale prices. The lasting and unfavorable circum- stances_ of the. past {ew years, however, nave affected the Hospital also, and bhave leit the Brothers unable to do this in 2ny way at pros- ent. The great pumber of sick we contin- ually have to provide for has caused a great want of these articles, and as many ol our patients are very poor and not able to pay for trcatment we take this _method of endeavoring to provide for them. It is weil koown that in most cases of accidents the wounded ;paticots are brought to the Alexian Hospital, and we- require a great quantif Hinen for bandages. Considering all this, the Brothers hope not to apply in vain tothe well- known chanty of the ladies of Chicazo, by kind- 1y besceching them to come to their help, as far 28 possible, by sending such articles as may be ul for the aid and relief of the sick, or fiv- notice where the Brothers can get them. bed-clothes, towels, shirts, etc., which are e thanktully received. ing Old still useful, will all : ‘The great scrvices the kind-hearted ladies have rendered to suffering humanity will be kindly remembered by the paticats as well as Tue ALEXIAN BROTHERS, Nos. 539-559 North Market strcet.

BOTH EXTREMES. TOW A DEARBORN STREET MAN'S REQUEST WAS OBEYED TO HIS DISSATISFACTION. Some people are 50 unrcasonable. A Dear- born street man who frequently has occasion to treat coustry customers, by whom be docs sot, hovwever, desire to be believed 3 man’ of cock- tails and acquainted with barkeepers, remon- strated the other day with the proprictor of the safoon where he usually does bis im- Dbibing. “See here,” he said, ‘‘often a country Deacon comes in, and after we have done some business says hie doesn’t kuow how- it is,—he supposes’the water Qoesn’t agree with him,—and perhaps a little brundy would,—sand then I take him out, and 1 see your place by accident, and say, “Well, 1 never go out myself, but this saloon Jooks like a quiet, respectable place,’ and we come in, and the minute he sees my shadow iour barkeeper yells out, * How-are you, Curg?’ ,JeUrgus ain't a common sort of 4 pame, you know. If it was ‘How are you, Billy? or, “How goes it, Charley? or, *Good morning, Cap,’ it would be ail right, but _you know yourself that wWhen you call’ a3 man “Curg’ you don’t do 60 on speculation. And then your barkeepe; goes on and just slinis a private bottle out from behind the shelf, and drops a little bitters into a tum® bler and waltzes them over to me and says, * claimed the treacherous ¢Same as usual, Curg, I spose, for you; what'll your friend take? Now this 1sa sort of famil- farfty,” continued the protesting Dearborn street man, * that is breeding. cuulemlpr. for me all over this part of the footstool. suppose on half of the church lists of the Northwestern States I'm rated zzz, and marked down a fraud and a hypocrite. Now, just have your bar- keeper, whenever I come in here with astranger treat me as a stranger, and you'll oblige me tre- mendously.” The saloon proprietor was only 00 glad 10 oblige him, or, at least, 80 he said, and gave the necessary instructions That afternoon the “Dearborn street man had a visit from a Kalamazoo Deacon, who came to Bny the interest on his mortgage, and, after the cacon had been attacked by symptoms of sum- mer complaint, and, taken forth, he towed him into the familiar saloon. (The barkeeper was discussing the pomts of a fighting-dug with an acquaintanse as they entered, and did not fm- mediately intermit his fascinating occupation.) “Sce here, Billy,” sald his acquaintance, “ there’s some customers.” * That's all right,” replied the barkeeper, in a stage * aside”; ** they’re Hoosiers from Oshkosh or Pecatonica, —they’ll keep.” Then he finished enumerating aud dilating upon the fifty-cizht points of per- fection about that pup, fixed his hair before the 5Iass with a pocket-comb, aud said, nlhbl{: * Well, gentlemen, what can I do for youl" They said what, and ke gave that Dear- born strecet man a bottle, of shich the D. 8. man smelled suspiclously. +* That’s all right—that's whisky; what are you enifling at ¢ said the barkeeper, with some as- pcng. ‘“ Haven't you anything better?? asked ine Dearborn strect man kindly. * O, yes; but I didn’t suppose you cared to pay more than 10 cents,” said the barkeeper, ungraciously cffect-" ing the desired substitution: then he remarked audibly to his acquautance: “Did you ever notice how them country cusses put on sids whea they come to town? I suppose that chap is cautlous about buying $-cent cornjuice when he’s at home, but when he comes to Chicago nothing Thort of 15-cent Bourbon ’ll do him, and he doesn’t know the difference.” The Dearborn strcet man reddened with anger, but controlled his emotion and felt in his pocket for his 40 cents, when ha discovered that he had left his portemonnaic at the ofiice. ** That’ll be all right. Billy,” he said to the bar- Leeper, with a wink. ‘“Not much it wou't be all right,” said the barkecper, with a bitter sneer; * that's plaved. You drop that 40 cents here right away quick just now, or leave your hat as collateral security. 1 never saw you belore in my lite.? So natural was his acting (worthy, indeed, of the most accomplished actor upon the stage) that be pre-cmpted the Dear- born street man's hat, and the Dearborn strect man had to borrow 40 cents from the Deacon be- fore he could get it back. 1t was about fiftcen minutes before the Dearborn street mau had cast off the Deacon, and then he struck a bee- line for that saloon and entered it, mad as a coop of wet hens. + Buily for you, Curg,” ex- barkdeper, as he aid §0. *I et wejust fooled that old Deacon worse than he. was ever fooled in his life.

You did it so naturally that T was as near as could be saying, * That’s all right,’ and giving acdcanold give-away.

Some of the old invariablei” “The Dearborn street man at first wasinclined to be violent, but the bar- keeper argued with kim, and showed him how impossible it would have been for himn to adopt any other course, and finally pacified him; then, when the Dearborn street man had gone out, he took a few jig steps and tossed histowel up to the ceiling fo intimate his_silent rapture at the way he (the bartender) had fixed him (the Dear- born street man). B THE CHILDREN’S HOUR. PREPARING FOR TIE CONCERT. At apout 2 o'clock yesterday afterncon Mad- ison street, between Clark and LaSalle, present- ed an unusual scenc. That busy thoroughfare was invaded by hordes of rosy<hecked and meatly-dressed children, whose merry demeanor was strangely in contrast with the careworn faces and hurried steps of the passing crowd. The Board of Trade man, who is always rushing towards eomewbhere or other with a cigar tightly held between his mustache and goatee; -the “traveler, valise in hand, economieally wending his way to the hotel; the belated clerk hurrying Dback to the store from his half-devoured lunch; the insurance man anxious to risk ‘anything ex- cept his life, from an old shoe toa in elevator; the peanut-vendor and the necktie peddler, the suspender man and the fortune-teller: these and all the rest of the familiar characters paused and stared at the procession of juveniles which scemed to he endless, and which poured from both directions up the stairway leading to Far- well Hall. 1t was the time eppointed for, the rebearsal of the picces that arc to be sung at the approach- ing Union Sunday-School Concert, and the chil- dren, whose appearance on the street in such numbers occasioned universal comment, werc simply gatherine for the rehearsal. On enter- ing the hall their vames were taken by. two gentlemen detailed for that purpose, and they were each given a ticket entitling them to”admission to the concert. . Others o! the Committee of Arrangements were also present to direct the young people to their ap- propriate scats. The boys were placed at the leit aud tue girls at toe right, and all were massed in the center of the hall, iy order that the singing should not be interfercdwith by the gallerica. Mr.B. F. Jucobs was there, bristling up aud down the aisles, cracking jokes here and there with the audience, and good-hnmoredly ingiotaining a certain degree of order. is .was a diflicult task. The boys wounld persist in being Loys,—in accordance with the old saying,—and girls would be girls, and for a long timc .a miniature Babel of confusion reigaed. The younger ones were continually climbing over seats or tumbling off from their chairs with great ado, and cuuslnf thereby a chorus of snickers on the part of all the otbers in_the neighborhood. Then, too, some of the 1wore enthusiastic ones gave vent now and then to sharp whistles, such as emanate from the top gallery of the theatre when the ““wait? be- Tween the acts is 100 long. But finally, after much cffort, all were quiet- cd down, and the exercises Legan. Mr. Lyman mouuted the platform and gave ont the song, “Beautiful Romes.” He drilled the yonthfil sonzsters in this and other pieces for about an hour. The eflect of the singing was fine, no less than 700 voices participating. THE CITY HALL. The school teachers and janitors were pald their March salarics, amouunting to $57,000, yes- terday. The regular drill of the Police Department will be resumed upon the 1st of next month. ‘The Treasurer’s receipts yesterday were $743 from the City Collector, $330 from miscellane- ous sources, and $2,707 from the Water Depart- ment. * B Building-Superintendent Cleaveland has so far recovered from his recent attack of congest- ive chills us to be able to be’at his oflice 1or a short time yesterday ‘There is an increasing belief that the test of the engines of the West Side Pumping-Works will result favorably to the engines. The Com- mittec of experts have made no statement as yet. The Department of Public Works will open bids April 25 for a sewer on Twenty-second strect, trom Loomis to Centre avenue, and May 5 will open bids for the furnishing of 2 X sewer-bricl 50, bids for the teaming work of the Sewerage Department for tne year ending Dee. 31, 1877 Supt. Hickey yesterday Issued an order strong- Iy admonishing the force that any member thereof going, in uniform, intoa place where hquor is sold, for Yluposcs other than those connected with police work, would be dis- missed 1rom the force. The order covers the cases of policemen in citizens’ dress upon de- tective work. The following building permits were 1ssued yesterda; E Hertz, a two-story stone-front. dwelling, 22z35 feet, corner of Superior street and Dearborn avenue, cost $6,000; Samucl Johuson, six two-story dwellings, each 1634 feet, corner of Chestnut and Wells streets, cost 2,500 cach. During the past week the Build- ing Department has issued forty-five ‘permits, twenty of which were for buildings estimated to cost $36,000. R During the week ending last night there were sixty-ninc cases of screlet fever reported to the Heaith Department, and in the same time there were thirtcen deaths from scarlet fever outof a total death-rate of about 130. The mew cases of the disease reported yesterday were at Nos. 7i7 Wabash avenue, 110 Sedzwick, 115 Front, 62 Wesson, 132 Soutn Clinton, 51 South Carpenter, 201 West Chicago avenug, 334 Eric, 453 West Twellth, and 80 Willow. | The Finance Committec Lave decided to recommend to the Council that the tees ot the City Sealer be reduced 380 per cent from their present fizures. The Committee had at first contemplated changing the system of city-seal- ing by appointing an officer” at a fixed salary and reouiring that all the fees collected be turned in to the City Treasurer; but it was thought best that the present system, which has always worked satisfactorily, should not be interfered with except in the respect above mentioned. The effect of the measure if passed by the Council will be to reduce the emoluments attached to the office and possibly to increase the activity of the City Sealer if he Wants to realize a handsome compensation. ‘The Mayor said yesterday in reply to a re- porter’s question as to what he thought of the roposition to n?puim women to the Board of ducation that he had given the matter no thought, and, though he was inclined to wom- au’s rights doctrines, he would venture no ex-* pression of opinfon. His Honor doubtless re- alizes what it would be to have female appli- cants for office about him as thickly as the male part of the population ther around and Dother his life out jn their recommendations and applications. The license-receints yesterday were about $300. Since April 1, t.h=ytlmc when all licenses with the exception of those of saloons—fall due, there have been issuca 690 express licenses and 190 peddler licenses. The exprcssmen should number fully 1,000, and_everybody can easily realize fiom the thousands of peddlers daily seen abont the streets that more people of that vocation should heve taken out the neces- sary papers. A general raid by the regular po- lice force should be imade in order that the money due the city may be promptly paid.” The proprietors of billiard-saloons seem to think that their licenses are not due, since none of them have applied for license. They are hereby informed that they should pay on the 1st of April. Superintendent Hickey’s quarterly report was submitted to the Mayor yesterday morning. 1t appears theretrom thatout of $50,408.78 of re- ported stolen property, $41,523.05 was recovered. Out of 4,534 arrests, 3,627 were males and females. Of this number 1,777 were * sealed,” While 8,357.trod the path of sin in sinale- blessedness. The sum of $36,694 was_imposed as fines. The parents of 266 lost children were made bappy by the speccy return of their off- spring through the agency of the police. The gu!lre station furnislied lodging for 941 of the omeless. There have been during this period two deaths in the police force, while one policeman was seriously :njured while doing his duty. The 1eport spedfied the number of charges preferred and the number of people -brought up under cach. The most common of- Tfenses were adultery, assault, burglary, carrying concealed weapons, being drunk, disorderly, or jumates of houses of ill-lame or gaming-houses, larceny, obtaining meney and goods under false pretenses, riot, robbery, vagrancy, and viola- tions of special ordinamces, With shame be it stated that the majority of the offenders were Ameticans, The department expenses were $123,- 528.08, which, as compared with the disburse- ments for the same pericd last year, means a re- duction of $12,270.85. THE POLICE WAR. GRIEF IN THE CAMPS. One bombshell is nosooner ccoled off than another is fired futo th: police camp, and the principal occupation of nany of them fs dodging the particles of the shellas it explodes. On the first of the month a Iand grenade that Supt. Hickey stealthily laid at Capt. Buckley’s door is axpected to explode. Upon the same date it is expected that a pombirdment will be com- menced upon the South and West Divisions from the nain camp o: the assailants. Capt. Ellis is to be forced to lay down his star and take awalk for the benefit of his health. A number of Sergeants are to be reduced to the ranks or forcedto resien altogether, and the policy toward patrolmen who are arraigned upon petty charges is to be much more severe until every bad element in the Department is weeded out. Ina conversation with Supt. Hickey yester- day, he simply_reannomced his firm determi- nation to have Buckley's head. Eilis hadnot yet been asked toresign, but the terrible condition of his district was fully cnough to warrant it. “The rest of the story,” said he “I will not re- late. Youand everyon: els know that Buck- ley has not acted in aceo:d with Mayor Heath’s Administration. One justance alone, the fact that he has not inany waymolested the zamblers, is sulficient to_convince t.lmdpnhlk: of his iuef- ficiency. He has compelled me to take men dircet from bis station and put them on gam- bling-houses, with instructions to obey no one but myself. Else { coul¢ not have accomplished so much as I did.” . Mayor Heath was aleo quite determined in the matter. From private detectives he has learncd that saloon ordinances and all others arc brolen repeatedly, and ' that disorder runs riot in Cheyenner ¢ West Division he con- siders equally bad. Tie North Division aud Capt, Gund is warmly ommended. A Serzeant inthis Division who Ins becn considered the most. incompetent has risen into dangerons power, both through his recent conduct and through his former good luck in having been in former duys an industrious and_honest painter for the then young firin of Heath & Milligan. Capt. Buckley is loath to accept “the situa- tion. He defies Supt. Hickey to show a single act that tarnishes his reputation as a faithful and hard-working Police Captain. He is not vet quite sure whether the Nayor has the power to remove him without the cousent of the City Council, and intends to fake legal advice on the subject. Alrcady his suxcessor is pointed out in Simon. O’Donnell, who was appointed Captain in 1873, but vho then declined. He would make ~an cflicient - officer, for # harder working maa does mot exist on the polico force. ~Among the other changes talked of are the redudion of Sergts. Byrne, Ebersold, Tom Simmons, Fitzpatrick, and Bar- rett. But time alone can tell just who will be dropped. 'CRIMINAL. Detective Schaack last evening ran into the Chicago Avenue Station two young boys named James Tiflley and Thomas O'Leary, who have made a practice of robbing little children on the streets. There are said ‘o be several quite seri- ous cases against them, the witnesses 1n which are being huoted up. Commissioner Hoyne will hold a levee to- morrow, when the frail bosses of several gilded palaces of sin will be brought forward to answer the charge of sclling wines, liquors, and cigars to customers walout the usual prelim- inary process of obtaining the license in such cases made and provided. The police in the West Division last cvening amused themselves by bringing in ninc of the stylish vagrants that infest Halsted street south of Madison after dark. Detectives Gallagher and Stewart brought in Etla Lee, Robert Vande- veer, Andy Smith, James Cook, and James Col- lins, all of them first-class vagrants, John O'Connor and John Bell engaged in a desperate fight at_a Jate hour Friday night in the vicinity- of Vernon Park, during which O’Cornor was badly cut across the back of the neck by a knife inthe hands of his antagonist. The wound was quite a deep one, and narrowly escaped touching the jugular. As it is, it is not at all dangerous. 'The wounded man was taken to his home, No. 213 Laflin strect, and his an- tagouist to the Himman Street Station. Justice Summerficld yesterday held the fol- lowing: Mary Reguu, Tlorence Bell, vagrants, $100 each; Martin Fanning, picking the pocket of Mrs. Mary Roberts, of 243 State strect, Y days in the House of 'Correction; John Brown, William C:=vin, Samuel Clark, Georee Munger, vagrante, $20 or thirty days; J. C. Wheeler, disorderly, thirty days; Henry Thompsou and John Adams, vagrants, $100 ‘cach; James Wil- son, % Nobby Tom,”and Charles Robinson, “Big Charley,” sixty days each; Jorry Millington, vagrant, ninety days: A. B. Devine, larceny of twohorses from Sawyer'sstable on Third avenue, §300 to the Criminal Court. Justice Kaufmann sent Edward Anderson- to the House of Correc- tion lor sixty days for the larceny of u watch from C. G. Coulson, n guest at the Hotel Dan- mark; Jubn Kegan and Jobn Hurley, stoning John Nelson of No. 193 Sedewicl strect, thirty days cach. - Justice Scullr held Michacl Twohey in 3200 to the Criminal Court for the larceny of two boxes of cigars from David Feldman of No. 333 Morgan street; Frank Whitney, larceny of clothing from Ira Younglove in a cabo jsc on the Pittsburg & Fort Wayne Railroad track, $i00 to the Criminel ‘Court; Edward Byrae, riot, con- tinued to the 24th. THE COUNTY-BUILDING. ‘To-morrow is the Jast day in which the Jus- tices and Constables recently elected can qualify. Twenty-eight ot those clected have not yet given the necessary bond. In the Criminal Court yesterdey, William Connerton was found zuilty of burglary, and given one year in the Peaitentiary. Willlam Deal and Minnie Marks were found not guiity of the same charge. Joscph McAuley, Robert Whitely, and Richard Gough were on trial fora similar offense at adjournment. Architect Egan yesterday informed Sexton that certain brick-work being done. on the Court-House would not pass inspection. If Egan continues his vigilance over the Court- House contractors the Commissioners will be after him. He fs treading on daugerous ground if he expects to continue as architect. Hanley will be elected Superintendent of the Court-House work to-morrow.. 8peaking of Buperintendent brings to mind a little scrim- mage, in which one of the candidates and a Com- missioner were principals, a few evenings ago. The candidate was pressing his claims for the place, and in his earnestness got the Commis- . “The sioner by the throat and shook him up lively. They parted as friends, however, for next morn- ing the Commissioner was around looking for the candidate and wanting $300 that he had promised to “loan ' him. ~The candidate was not found, however, as will appear when the election is over. A CLEVER ARREST. A few days ago an indictment was rzlume‘d into the Criminal Court against Col.” W. C. Gibson for counspiracy to defcat the ends of justice, and a capias was issued for his arrest. t was placed in the handsof Deputy-Sheritf Schumacher, and this gentleman last &vening visited the ** Colonel’s® house, No. 260 North Clark strect. “He was assured by the ‘ Col- onel's” wife that her lord was absent in New York, and would be gone two months. The of- ficer next inquired in'the neighborhood for the & Colonel's ¥ whereabouts, but could zet very little satisfaction. ~Finally, he told a friend of the “Colonel’s”” that hé was about to purchase some pmperby adjoining, about which the * Colonel knew cverything, and if that in- dividual could be seen that he would ay bim §25 for certain information. &’hc friend swallowed the bait, and the ‘*Colonel” was speedily produced, nabbed and marched off to jail, where he now remafns. Since his incarceration another {ndict- ment of a similar character has been found against him, and he may ve sald to be in trouble. The *Colonel™ is known in criminal circles as a straw-bailer, and when so adrojtly captured by the Sheriff the police were after him with an armful of warrants. THEY PREFER DARRNESS TO LIGHT. The * Ring” Commissioners are fn an awk- ward plight, and they know not wkat todo. So far their scheme for plunder in connection with the new Court-House has only | been partially successful, and they have goticn into a position generally from which they find it difficult to ex- tricate themselves, Yesterday, in their multi- farious troubles, they turned over a new leaf, determined that if they cannot agrec among themselves how best to steal without - de- tection, that the public shall . know as little of .t as possible through the press. Those having Court-House matters in charge held a very secret mecting under lock and key to discuss matters and things. What progress was made, or what: concluslons tere reached, is not known. Certainly no resolves in the interest of the public were made, else why was it that the reporters were excluded? The Commissioners were fn scssion an hour or more, and immediately after adjourning were met on the South Side by Perfolat, when a_further con- ference was held in McCormick’s Block. Their scheme will develop in duc season. ANNOUNCEMENTS. * TheRev. L. T. Chamberlain will preach this morning in the First Congregational Church, corner of \Vest Washington and Ann streets. ~ Mr. J.

The total memhcrshlg at present is 233. Twenty-one members of the Soclety have failed to pay as- sessment No. 6, making a total of ninety-two crased trom the roll for the same cause. No new members have joined since assessment No. 1, consequently the sum collected on each has been steadily decreasing from $552 on assess- ment No. 1 to 548 on assessment No. 6. The meeting is therefore called to devise means to obviate the defects of the organization. MEMORIAL SERVICE. The services in St Paul's (Universalisty Church this morning will be commemorative of the life and labors of Elbridee G. Hall, Esq., who was for many years a prominent member of that church.

HyDE PARK, April 21.—In your issue of Sun- day last, a Ietter from John R. Bensley, Presi- dent of the Board of Trustees, was published, stating, among other items, that the unpaid taxes of the village were $207,985.04, as shown by the general tax warrant, and that ‘‘by far the ercater portion of the same was dunc from lands lying in the southern half of the village.” Feeling certain that this statement conld not be correct, I obtained from the books now in the hands of the County Treasurer the following ‘figures, which give a true exhibit of the taxes umpaid as stated: General tax warrant_for 1876, including village, school, State, county SOuth P2rk ax vuvvees . Amount collécied of thi lage Collector.... Balance. Amount of warrant for 1876, $2:24,43Y. by railroads Tor 1876 should be deduct- ed from this sum.)

Total... .. Personal tax.. Grand total. R Of this sum,$12,043 was collected, being about 4 per cent, and was paid _in about cqual propor- tion by all parts of the village. It will thus be seen that less than one-tenth of the whole ;Enuna is due from the southern part of the village.

Jayes H. BOWEN. [The only _conclusion which can be drawn from Col. Bowen’s letter is, that the south art of the town is very lightly assessed, pays gnrdly any taxes, and is apparcntly not cn- titled to ine immense appropriations which it has been demanding, or to the represeatation in the Board of Trustecs which it has becn en- deavoring to secure. Since “less thaa onc-tenth of the whole amount of taxes is dae from the southern balf of the village,” that half ought to be satistied with one-tenth of the represcnta- tion, and should apparently be content to have expended upon it only one-tentb of the tax-levy. It should be borne in'mind that the cost of lay- fog water-pipes, etc., is covered by the special assessments upon the property benefited, y:'lrm- ble in so many aonual fostaliments. he southern part of the village has not bad to pay anything ou this account, all this heavy expen- diture haviog been cast upon the northern ség- tion.
