WEST LAKE STREET RAILEOAD TRACK. A correspondent residing on Weet Lake street ‘wants to know why it is that the West Side Rail- road Company do not run cars on that thoroughfare from Western avenue to the railroad crossing, al- though the tracks have been laid there since last year, and he complains that the residents on Madi- son street are favored while he and ‘*many indig- nant residents™ on Lake get no accommodation. To settle this important question & reporter yesterday called on Mr. J. K. Lake, Superintend- ent of the West Division Railroud, and inquired about {t. Mr. Lake stated that it was true that the. tracks were laid last year when the street wus paved, but with no expectation of using them 2t once, and simply to save the cxpensc #nd inconvenience of taking up the pavement in the fature. The district beyond Western avenue is but thiniy settled, znd lie Company have not received a single application to run curs over the part of the track nawed, 80 that it would seem that the residents have not allowed their indignation to take a practical shape. The distance from Weat- ern avenue to the crossing is only three or four ‘blocks, and a3 there seems to have been no demand for the accommodation. the Company hss so far taken no steps to afford it. 1t s probable, how- ever. that abont the 1st prox. a tramsfer-car will be placed on the road, travel by which will e free, as on Madison street, to all patrons of the down- town cars. MILITARY HEADQUARTERS. ) Matters around army headquarters are dull just at the present time. The oflicers on duty are miin- ly interested just now in the Russian-Turkish war, and are walching ou the mapy the movewents of the respective forces. Gen. Shendan thinks that no informution of a definite character in rezurd to military movements will Le gained untll the D; ‘ube i3 crossed by the Russians, waen the plan of | attack will be’ made known. At present both Russians and Tarks are keeping their intentions as to military movements to themselves, and tene information will only be guined as the plans of the respective attacks and defenses are developed. The ofticers are anxiously looking fora map which will give them anoutliné of the ronds and rivers of the country. leaving out its topography, 50 as to show how far in distsuce the armies are apart, and what gzonnd they have to travel over before » battle will fought. A new military post is_to be located on the Mis- souri River for the purpose of bringing inany stray bands of savages who may be ronming about. In this Department—that of the Platte, under com- mand of Gen, Crook—no definite plan of campaign has yet been arranged, a8 it is believed none is nec- essary, but the troops will bs 50 used that any hos- tile bands of Indians which may show tncmselves will be summarilv squelched and the interests of emigrants proteeted. _Indians who refuse to go on the reservations will be compelled to go by the military, and there will be mo fooling with the red men this time. As to Sitting-Bull, he has not more than about for- 1y lodges of Uncapapas with him and a few strag- line bands of renezade Sionx and Cheseuncs, who long to the Agencies. It is anticipated that these will in good time be pretty well Jaid out, and then that peace will reign on the frontier. It may be relied on that Sitting-bull, if he is on American soil, will be driven to bay, and if heis in the Bnt- igh possessions be will be compelled to stay there. A ROBEY STREET TRAGEDY. Yesterday about 4 p. m. the inbabitants of South Hobey street were cast into the, wildest alann and confusion by the appearauce of 8 West- ern Union Telegraph measeuger. One woman Jocked the door and suid, *‘If that's for me 1 shall die before I open the seal,—1 know I shall." An- othersaid, **Here, I've just moved in to-dsy, and I've just got 7 cents in the house till Peter comes home to-night, and suppo=e that dispatch is for me, ang there i3 50 cents to pay, and { have no one to Vorrow from, and the boy won't leave the message withont the half-dollar, and it should be a dispatch 1o say that mother is dying, and before Peler got home the train had gone out and there wasno other train before Monday aud mother died to-mor- row,—sappose all this - happened, whatever on earth shonld I do." Finally the messenger se- Iected his house. whereupon for wen duors on each side thereof the women came out on the steps, or poked their heads out of the second-story win- dows, or zot permanent cricks in their necks try- ing to peep between the closed blinds and see what ‘was going on 270 feet further down-strect on the £ame side of the road.

Finally she opened it and found that it was for a woman of the snme name at the same number on North Robey street. A GOOD ENTERTAINMENT TO COME.

Italso con- E:nmmeu the Society on the fact that therehas enn steady and general advancement of the Linmane idea ibroughout the country, a3 well as in Chicago. Neurly every State in the Union now has laws for the protection of dumb animuls. ~The Chicago Socicty has put forward all the efforts pos- sible in proportion fo its financial ability. Au otlicer lus been emploged during the entire year, and anothier u portion of the time, as the finances of the Suciety would permit. The following s the result of their labor: Number of cases reportod, 273; urrests made, 3 ; ines imposed. 28;abandoned, horses Killed, 11 + AlluhhiJ lc:lfl!t]alklllughfi‘éi crippled sheep killed, 345 crippled calves killed, lfi;Ptl.lisnblcd l{’nuu ordered off the street, 2733 liorses condemnud by the Society and by owners, ersons admonished for apparent, cruelty, ‘The precautions have not been numerous, but it is not by the number of arrests wade and awount of fincs imposed that the Society would prove its efficiency, .

At the Stock-Yards and Slangh- ter-houves great jmprovements ng been _made in the treatment of stock. Mr. Joha B. Sherman, Supcrintendent of the Stock-Yards, wis one of the Deat and most sctive members, and aided the Soci- ety fn every way vossible. The report urzes that there be no letting down in cnerey of work. Some of the stage lines, it says, use very poor stock, many of the horss being _diseased and_cripp! The car companies, and especially the West Divie- ion, had been very liberal with the Socicty, and Ient it good aid. The report stirs up the police for their indificrence about afding the Society's oiticers to prevent cruelty to animals. Joscph Wright and Frode licegnrd arc thauked. for gratwtous lezal services in prosccuting cases. ‘The report urges the neceasity of signing numes to complaints, aud not sending anonymous cemmunications. The bill now before the Lewislature giving the Governor power to jappoint two agents who slall receive $1,200 ench, one to act for the llumane Society at the Stock-Yards in the Town of Lake, and the other in East St. Louis, is also alluded to, aund the necessity of the law urged as an aid to the working of the Socicty, and for protection to the dumb brutes. ‘The rcport was saopted. The report of the Treasurer, O. J. Stough, showed that the receipts had been, aside from the county donation of $1,500. $936.45, which hnd all been “expended. The Sociely could use more money if the citizens would ouly contribute it, 2y there was plenty of room for extending the work. "The report was adopted. OT/IER BUSINESS.

Bernard G. Caulfield, ex-mem- ber of Congress from the First District. A day or two ago a good-natured paragraph appeared in the local columns of Tug TRiUNE stating that Mr. Caulfield had céncluded to permanently make his residence in St Louis. Upgn this, perhsps, the Journal worked up its article.

THE BAKERS. RS AN END OF THE COMPACT. Anadjonrned meeting of - the bakers of Chicago was held last evening al Templeton's bakery, No, 213 Randolph street, Mr. Frank Schweinfutth in the chair. The praceedings opened by a discussion a3 to whether the agreement to charge six cents for a loaf welghing one pound had been kept by those who sigred it. Nobody seemed willing to own ap to the soft impeachment. but all agreeu that othera Dot present Lad broken theirpromises.

Jir. Forsythe thought that the true remedy was to procure the passaze - of an ordinance making 3 standard weight for loaves, and flxing a penalty for {ufringements of the luw. It was cheaper to make large loaves than small ones, and the former were more economical for the public. Mr. Woodmnn, from the Committee on Ordi: nance, said that certafn Aldermen were awakenced 10 the necessity of dealing with this mat had found onz that the weizhts of loaves varied materially, and that the public werc cheated. It was probable that Monday an ordinance would be introduced into thé Council framed on those in operation i Eastern citics. P A gentleman said that there wos an jmpression that it was intenided to_regulate the price by ordi- mance. The Chair pointed out that this would_be ridiculons. Mr. Woodman cxpluined that in De- troit, Toronto, Mfontreal, and otter places the standard weiglits were two and four -pounds.

PROSPECTS FOR A BRILLIANT ART DEPARTMENZ. ‘The preparations for the Inter-State Exposition of 1577 commenced at an esrly date, especially as many mavufucturers had made special exhibits at the Centennial, and were desirous of using the same products of manufacture atanother public display. The Art Committee, consisting of Messrs, Clarke, Brown, MacVeagh, Asay, and Stickney, was appointed in January, and immediately organ- ized for work, obtaini: nformation and sccunring promises of desirnble cxamplesof the fine arts. The leading artists of America have replied ina very cordial manner, and many have promised to make preparations for the occasion ns a very im- portant event. Already the Committee fecls the mecessity of a rigid sclection from the amount of material at their service, a8 oil palutings and wuter-colors are now partially prowmised which will more than ili the rooms. At no time since the initial year of 1873 have the Exposition oflicials been obliged to nc- cept whatever Is offered, and it is Intenaed to raise the standard of admission cach year; for this is Uetter thun to increase the capacity of the art hall, which now holds more worky of art than most vis- itors can couvenlently or prodtably examine. . The Committee bas received important assistance from geveral private gentlemen, especially John F. Stafford, s0 well known to all the best artists of New York, a few of our wholesale merchants with close business relations with the East, and some of the wealthy Quaker families of Philadelphia. The result of all these multifurious influcnces brousht 10 bear are now beginming to appear, and sullicieut progress has been muade to show that the art de- )ll‘nrtmcnt will be worthy of the Exposition of 1877, 'he intentian to flll one room with bric-a-brac, though limited almost strictly to ceramic art, Luving become known toa few possessors of rare and costly pottery, they have generously offercd 10 loan unything necessary to- supplement the dis- play in this special departinemt. 1n the eame way, u correspondence having been quietly commenced with the moet influcntial water-colorists of this country, tha American Society of Painters in Water-Colors did not wait for a forwal invitation, but in a very generous 8pirit voted that they would exhibit on the terms originally proposed. Mr. A. F. Dellows wrote that lie had no important work resay In water-colors, since he had lately given so much attention to his work in oil, bat that he would try to prepare o large one for the speciul occasion, and uiso to send two or three smaller ones. Mr. IL Farrer was greutly encouraged at the evident interest taken fn water- colars in the West, and thouxht ihat a strong ex- lubition would Le feasible every yeer. Mr. W, T. Richurds, of Philadelphia, sent “u very polite ac- knowledgment of an iuvitation to exhibit, and would nut fail to send some of his work. J. W, Champney not only would be very glad tobe rep- resented, but he had taken the pains to see several Boston artists, who were ulso plensed with the idea. Numerons other artists have replied in a kindred spirit, and the success of the speclal water-color display in one of the lmportant rooms 18 assured. The space allotted to oil paintings fs reatricted this year by the importance of the other art de- partments. Prof. .J. F. Gookins had no trouble in sccuring from his old friend, Walter Shirlaw, the promise of the large picture, **Sheep-Shearing in the Bavarian ilighiands,” of which the canvas is forty-nine by eighty-one inches. Private gentle- men, throngh personsl friendship with members of the Committee, have promired fmportant paint- ings which have never been exhibited, and encour- aging nesotiations are in progress for some pict- ures of striking quality. From his acquaintunce with the importance of the Exposition art dieplay, Mr. William 1. Beard used his personal fuduence with the oil-painters, and Mr. J. C. Nicholl soon converted the water-color- ists to the advantage of a strong exhi- bition, and thus the xround was well prepared for the action of the Committee, which is convinced that there will be no dificulty in obtaining all the pamtings it may desire, and of excellent quality. ‘Tle Exposition opens Auz. 29 and closes Oct. 13, 50 that the pictures will begin rupldly to arrive carly in the month of August. SUIT ON A BOND. CITY FOND3 IN .THE MANUPACTURERS TIONAL. ‘When David A. Gage as City Treasurer in 1872 ‘bezan depositing the city funds in the Manuf: turers’ National Bank, he took an indemnifying bond in the penal sum of $300,000 to secure him against any possible loss. This bond was signed by Ira Holmes, the President of the bank, Charles Comstock, James Kelly, Joseph A. Holmes, Will- jam A. Bautters, Samucl J. Walker, and Willlam L. Tilden. The bank failed in Seplember, 1873, and in December following after Gnge had been alieged to be a defaulter he drew his check on the bank for$15, 000 payable to Georze Taylor, Trustee, but, of course, it was not honored. Suit wos then begsu!‘l) D&N'ihe official bond, the damages being fixed at_$20,000. The defendants made a variety of defenses, but the chief waa that by the onginal agreement the bond was not to be binding on the signers unless it s executed by all the stockholders of the bunk. A a matter of fact, Willlam II. Adams never signed it, but the bond was neveriheless handed to Gage. Another defense was that Gage had, coatrary to Iaw, deposited 540,000 in the Manufacturers' Na- tional Bank, on which he was to reccive 4 per cent interest, and that the law provided if he loaned the city money at interest he and all others con- mected with ‘bim in the transaction should be deemed gnilty of embezzlement and panished as such. The original amount was deposited Dec. 1870, and §25,000 was withdrawn 30, 1 and it is also claimed that the remaining $15,000 was, by o secret srrangement witd the bank to which the stockholders and makers of the bond were not parties, allowed tolie on deposit at 4 per cent in- Lerest. ‘The case was tried before Judge Gary last Thurs- day and Friday, and a jury, and occupied two days, The Judge instructed the jury that the burden of Droof 1o shaw that the bond was not duly delivered was ou the defendants, and if the evidencson the subject, aside from the provisions of the bond, was m}u:llly batanced, the jury should find for the piaintiff, The defeuse that intercst was pald on the deposit was not good. and the jury were to dis- regard such evidence. If it was shown that Gage hud $15,000 in the bank which it refused to pay after demand, and such evidence was undenicd, then he should recover. On the part of the defendants, the, jury were in- Btructed that if they believed that 'the ‘bond was never delivered "as a complcted bond, but was handed to him ~with knowledge on his part that it was not completed, simply for him to examine or submit to a committee for examination, and then return, theyshould tind for the defendants. The possession of the bond by Gage was evidence that it was duly delivered, but if it was handed to him before completion, there ‘wae no delivery, and the plaintisf could not re- cover. The case was dismigsed as to Ira Holines and W. A. Butters, they haring been discharged as bank- rupts, and the jury found a verdict for $18,000 against the remaining defendants, James Kelly, ‘harles Comstock, Joseph A. Iiolmes, S. J. Walker, and W. M. Tilden, The usual motion for & new trial was made, 3 NA- CITY OFFICERS. THE MAYOR’S NEW APPOINTEES.

How o meet this in- debtedness in the best way was the question. Comptroller Farwell proposed that. 1nstead of pay- ing the bonds, they be repluced by gold bonds, bearing interest at 5 per cent and payable in tweuty sears,—in short, Chicago City 5-20s. Mr. Farwell thinks that it would be an casy matter to eflect the change, xnd thinks that the change would be beneflclul to the city. The subject s to be fur- ther coneidered. 7 During the past week the Buflding Department ienued seventy permite, twenty-nine of which were for permanent bulldmngs, estimated to cost $160, - 600; there were eight permits for alterations, to coat $11,800; theTest of the permits were for small, and in.'some cases temporury, structures, Yesterday permits were issued to Cement & Sayer for a 3-story lime stone-front store, 60120 feet, to cost 512,000, Nos. 420, 422, and 424 Milwaukee avenne: Jerome Becker and llenry Scnoellkopf, cach a d-story ¥torc, to cost $15.000, 24x124 feet, ichigan avenue, near Lake street; Peter Funk, a 2-3tory dwelling, 22x50, cost $2,500, corner Eu- genie and Mobawk streets. The Committee on Streets and Alleys of the South Division met in_the City Clerk's office yes- terday afternnow, Aid. Gilbert in the chair, and decided to-recommend to_the Council that the re- pealing clause in the ordinance lately passed in regurd to the removl of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific ailroad tracks from Clark street be stricken out. 1t will be remembered thot the ordi- nance above referred to made a grant of a portion of Clark street for the use of the railroud, pro- vided that the railroad would take up its trucks in other portions of the strcet. The repealing clanse gave the Council the right to repesl the ordinance at any time. The Com- mittee read 3 numerously-signed _petition asking that the driving of swine on Hanover street be prevented by ordinance on ac- count of the injury done to the street, the annoy- unce of the residents, the profanity used by the swineherds, and the danger incurred by the amall children Inhubiting the street. The Comuittee thouzat that the ordinance already in force making it unlawful to drive swine on that streetafter 7a m. would, if enforcéd, relieve the residents of all reasonable ground ‘of complaint, and will, there- fore, recommend that the matter be placed on file. The Dearborn street extension mater, and the muking an alley between Michigan and Indinna aveuues, from ' Twenty-third to Twenty-fourth streets, was laid aside for future consideration. ALDERMANIC CONTESTANTS. David Dunn, one uf the defeated candidates for the ofiice of Alderman of the Fifth Ward, and the one who thought his calling and election sure till the Council counted the ballots, said at the timo of the canvass by the Keturning Board tnat he was **satisfled, " and would moke no contest. He, lowever, has changed his mind, or his fricnds bave changed it for him, and he yesterday tled with City-Clerk Butz a notice for presentation to the Council to-morrow, = This is sccomnanied by & statement which seis forth that illecal votes to the number of-200 werc cast in the several pre- cincts for Tally: that in_cach precinct there was a number of ballots for Tully fraudulently flaced in tie ballot-boxes or mingled with the egal Lallots, which were not cast or voted by any erson, The number of ballots so cast equals 100. That the judses or some unknown person crased the mame of David Dunn from over 100 ballots: that in the Fifth Precinct, by the col- Iusionof the judyes or other persun, a suflicient number of ballots to change the result of the elec- tion, and which were cast for Dunn, were taken outand replaced by ballots for Tully; thatafter the returns were mude up and the judges had sep- arated, some one changed the retarns of the Fifth Precinct 80 a3 to reduce the number cast for Dunn and increase the vote of Tully; that in the various _grenlncu,u! the ward, before the count was made, ‘ully ballots were substituted for Dunn ballots that suflicient ballots to change the result of the election were cast in the box used for the recep- tion of votes for the South Town for Tully, and these were counted by the judges as if they had Ybeen cast in the proner box.” For these and other fraudulert acts perpetrated by Tully or those in collusion with him, Daun prays that he may be de- clared elected. John Riordan, who did not receive the majority of votes in the Seventh Ward, also intends to con- test the clection, as Le has heretofore announced. He yesterdny flled a petition, through W, S. Brack- ett, with the City Clerk. The petition says that the face of the returns in_possession of the Conncil show that Hildreth received a plurality of 102 votcs over the petitioner, while the petitioner avers that he actually recciveda large majority over Hildreth, and a plurality over Hildretn and G. W. Gurdner. The petitioner charges the facts to be and promises toprove: That 164 votes recefved by Hildreth were absolutely vold because cast by persons who did not live in tae ward; that 100 legal votes cast for ’x‘éfl""& Jvere omittell narfl the Fetnrns, and that 200 votes were cast for Hildre ersons who Tad previously voted. ¥ & CRIMINAL., Reoben Smith and David E.

The 6tory of another heroine comes up from Tinsdale. Last Wednesday nizht the residences of three weil-known citizens of the village were burglarized, and abont $1,500 worth of stuff, was cartied oiL. | In one placé the burglans were con- fronted by the Iady of the house and her daughter, the latter of whom courageously drew 3 revolver opon the ruflans, and awaited orders to frc from the mother, until the men euccoeded in _overpowering her. Yesterday “two Ifinsdale officera prescnted themselves at a fashionable boarding-house on West Washington ‘street in search of one of the thieves, but loat him | after a chase which ended only ut Randolph street bridge. Subsequently they again ot track of their man, and, being wise enough to call in the assist- " ance of the resnlar city force, Mr. Kaiser, a clerk at police beadquarters, made the arrest for them. The young man gave his name as W._A. Burrows, a traveling snlesman for Lapp & Flersheim, or rather he only sells goods bought from them.
