THE ADELPHI THEATRE TROUBLES. The fna] decree in the case of Leonard Grover ve. E. 0. Lanphere and C. W. Kixdon was entered Satarday in the Circuit Court. The litigation was ended practically over a year ago, when Grover 20ld ontto the defendants, ‘but » mumber of ;Irll: issues n introduced, principally retin; expenses and feea of Recciver, all of which had to be ecttled. The suit was originally begun by Grover to restrain Lanphere and_ Rigdon from fu- terfering with his_possession of the theatre, to which they claimed a right under a lease. e ob- tained an injunction, but subsequently sold out to them. The decree directs thnt they buy out his rights, and that the Recelver’s fees, o the settle- ment of which there have been montby of Iiti- tion and snuch ill-feeli fixed st §1,521.33. his is o a lien on the premises, and if not paid by October, that the de- fendant's interest in the theatre be sold to satisfy the claim. The case was uite a cause_cclebre, &3 Lanphere and Rigdon obizined possession of “the Theatre by & coup d'etat during Grover's absence, and cjectea his attorney from the building when the suit was begun.

The same Committee reported an order o the effect thal whenever a lot of works in_English are to bé pur- chased exceeding in value §500, proposals should! be advertised for in 2 Chicago paper. Lost. - Alr. Lowenthal stated that at the Jast meetiug the Treasurer had been authorized to draw an order npon the Comptroller for_employes' salaries for the lust Aive months of 1876 remalning yet unpaid, 2nd amounting to $435.70. Mr. Lowenthal had called upon the Compiroller, who disclaimed suthonty, and upon the Finance Commitec of the Council. who said they could do nothing in the premisca. Mr. Lowenthal therefore moved that the Sccretary be nuthorized, upon proper voucher, to pay the cuployes for suid five months' delin- quency, the sum of $455.70, and charge to Secre- tary's fund. It was also ordered that the Secre- tary withdraw his voucher for the above amount, now in the hands of the Comptroller, and have the same canceled. After transacting some further routine business, the Board adjourned. MR. HERMAN LINDE, the famous German reciter, made_his last appear- ance before a Chicago audience Friday eveningat the Temple of the Sinaj Congregation, comer of Twenty-rst street and Indisuaavenue.’ Additional interest was lent to last evening's performance be- cause the gentleman recited the first act of Julius Caesar in English, all his previous recitations hay- ing been in German. Considering the fact that Mr. Linde bas been buta short time In this count his pronunciation of English is_really wonderful. He epeaks the language almost os perfectly 2s a native, and 3 elight German acceat is all thut indicates the foreizner. Yet his elocu- ton is not by any means as fine a3 it is in German. The charactérs in ** Julius Cuwsar* were not as well drawn nor 15 distinctly represented as those char- acters in ** Macbeth * at the Turner Hall the other day. His recitation of the **Midsummer Night's- Dream" in German was u splendid performance and called forth repeated applause. 'The various characters were brought ont as distinctly as if they had been represented by different pemsons. For every character hie had & special style and tone of voice. Heconcluded with the recitation of Goethe's Erl Kenig, which is one of his greatest efforts. Mr. Linde is undoubtedly one of. the finest, if not the finest, reciter in the country. His memory is kable. - g ACCIDENTS. remar} At 2:15 yesterdny afternoon A.

For sereral months there has been 3 greatdeal of talk in subdued tones, and a great deal of plotting 1n secret among the County Commissioners, or the “*Ring” members of that body, Jooking to substituting granite for Lemont stone for the three entrance-ways of the new Court-House. Such as have spoken of the matter above a whis- per have argued that the Lemont stone was casily ;soiled, would xoon become unsightly, and, conse- ‘quently, was unfit for the entrances, which, if it “be a fact, must have appeared to them nearly a year ago, even before the stone-contract was let, 2 vividly a8 it mow does. Certainly they must . bave heard enough of the stone then to bhave formed an opinion, yet in the face of that opinion they let the contract for the entire building to Walker, who, at the time, was more of a favorite than be now is for some reason or another. 1t is fair to infer, then, in view of subsequent events,— giving them credit for not knowinz at the time the stone-contract was let that the stone was easily “goiled and unsightly,"—that they made the ' award with an eye more'to Walker's promises than tothe quality and character of his mateiial; and, gince he has failed to keep tus promlses, the de- fects in his material, and the necessity for & change to granité—with the **Ring"—are very appurent. : "Fhore is really some truth in the arguments being nsed by the ** King" in favor of granite over lime- stone for the entrances, but those using them are entirely devord of sincerity, and care no more abont **soiled and unsightly" walls than they do about the ruins at Jerusalem. They began to sofl their fingers with limestone about the same time they began to see that they could the better line thelr packeta if another material was ased, and since then the movement in favor of granite has steadily gone forward. The cause gained great impetus just about the time that McCaffrey and Conly visited the granite quarries off the coist of Maine, but the growth of the sentiment has been studiously suppressed up to a fow duys ago, when an_afternoon paper was given a hint of what was golng on as & feeler. Now the question is an open one, and having been cautiously and plausi- biy introducea is boldly talked over even at mid- day, and among Commissioners is found to have few' antagonists. In fact, the movement has gone £0 far that ARCHITECT EGAN HAS BEEN PRIVATELY IN- STRUCTED to lay before the Board to-morrow, in the shape of a_communication, ‘information showing where granite can be used in the entrances, wainscoting for the corridors and halls, and intérior columa, esc., and he will obey instructions. A reporter took a look yesterday at the drawings that he has made, which are intended to show the Board where gramie can be used, and from a_casual glance could ot escape the impression that the archi- tect’s instroctions had been broad and comprehen- sive, for here and there the drawings had been marked in plain characters, -*Hallowell Granite, " whichy transluted, means that the ‘*Ring® has not only agreed to have the change made, to cast 201 the way fror $125, 000 toS175,000, but e 10 have a particular granite, owned by a particular man, and 1o other. 'hls is the sequence of the ywhole movement, and it may mean much or little. On its face it starts out with the stamp of jobbery, and in advance it is snfe to predict that unless the scheme can be car- ried forward totheend, and the granite gotten from a certain quarry, uo action will be taken in the matter. There is really nothing to be said against the nse of granite, inor yet aganst the fitness of the p ticular granite ‘contemplated by the **Ring. Granite certainly would be_preferuble to limestone for the entrances and wainscoting of the corridors both asa matter of beauty and durability, bat the con yestorday Bfternoon, was ordered off by the conductor, As he got-off, a passing hack rad him down, and badly injured the left side of his face, thongh not seriously, according to Dr. Garrison.

THE CITY OF BRUSSELS. A TALE WITI MR, INMAN. « Last eveninz Mr. Williim Inman, principal owner of the well-known Inman Line of steamers. his son, Herman Inman. of Liverpool, Eng., and Mr.S. G. Nicholson, Genersl Superintendent of the Company, arrived in this city from Omaha, and registered at the Grand Pacific Hotel. A Trusuxe reporter sent up hiscard to Mr. Willlam Inman. e was the first to successfully introduce sceew stesmers for ocean tramsportation twenty- six years ago, when the old City of Glasgow nd City of Manchester plied between New York and Liverpool. ~ He hasnot been to America since that time, and mever fo Clicago. The object of Tug TIIKUNE representative's cail was ta gain, If possi- ble, some authentic information in regard to the missing Inman steamer, the City of Brussels, which s some two weeks' overdue, and which had on board the Pilgrims t0 Rome from New York and Montreal, including Father Dowling. who is well known in this city. **You sec, " euud Mr. Inman, *‘I am not afrald of newspaper reporters—1 ratfier like them. To e aure, 1am glad to make a statement in regard 10 the City of Lrustels, and 1 belleve she is all right ond safe. I think o statement from me will have & rensearing effict. 1do not think there i3 yet any reason 10 fedr for the ship's safety. **The City of Brassels was bullt seven years ago, and may be térmed a new steamer. She was bailt ata time when contracts at the lowest price were not popular, and was wholly bailt in the best pos. siole wanner by days’ work by Toda & McGregor, of Glasg he Las not been length: en Licretofore stated. * The dread of the eafety of lengthened ships arose from the fact thatthe TransatlauticSteamship Company'satcamer Amerique wassunk. But this was not owing to the fact of her Lavins been lengthencd, but becanse the French engineers did not know how to manage English-built cngines. 'The fact is, her water- valves were turned the wrung way, and every time Der engines moved they were' pumping the vessel that was the secret of her misfortune. It was_the same case with the French steamor Europe. But. a8 1 said before, the City of Brussels -was mot lengthened. doupllie veteel Was aid up. i 1670, and 8 mew uble 23 o milnu an boilers placed in her. She has two four-cylin- der engines, on exactly the same plan with the improvements in e Adisticans cefiic, of the White Star Line. All these engines were made by Forrester & Co.. of Liverpool, the same frm who made the White Star Line steamers' §ogines, The builders Eive 8 six month's guaras- eir engin running under tnis fi “' eyt yey 0 “Iwumhmm:nyuu Whan she made fall of water until she was fall cnough to sink, and - public will fail to see the granite proposed to be used in a3 favorable a lightas the *‘Ring " now sees it unleas the widest competition s invited n doing the work, and the ownens of this particalar granite appear to be the lowest and most advan- tageous biddera. The *‘ Ring,™ of course, does not contemplatesuch a thing us competition in the matter, snd, if compelled to invite it by publicsen— timent, it will be a sham, and in tbe end the quar- ry selected in advance will win the victory. ONE OF THE ARGUMENTS in favor of the granite of their choice will be that its use will maintsin harmony vetween the ex- terior and interior of the building, but in this they will find little support for their scheme, for there: son, in the first place, that harmony can be tained by getting the gramte nearer at- home—m this or almost any of the surrounding States. In the second place, harmony of color between the exterior and interior is more to be disrciarded than cuveted in the opinion of architects to whom_the matier bas been suggested. ‘This argument then falls to the ground, and when they ave ready to strike the blow, which it is contemplated will help them in their old age, when they are known no more {n otticial life, they will find a severe ordeal before them and a storin about_thelr ears they will wish they never had started. If they agree, then, that the work is to oe done, rothing butn full and free competition will screen them, and nothing bat the waking of the sward to the lowest bidders, without regard tv their favorites, will remove from the proposed job the present cvidences of chicancry and frand with which it is fraught. ‘There is another view to be taken of the move- ‘ment, which the **Ring™ will doubtless stumble over before it is through, and which may yet pro- tect the public if competition should fail'to.
