The verdict was, shot by some unknown verson while the police were trring to quell the riots. The remaining four companies of the Twenty- second Infantry left the city yesterday for Wilkesbarre, Pa., to assist the local authorities in quelling actual riots and putting a stop to the system of intimidation which is in full blast fn that section. T..e soldiers were provided with 200 rounds of ammuuition and ten days? rations cach. The County Commissioners have had a streak of generosity, and are fitting up the Superior Clerks office, and all tho Juidyes? rooms, and the espace within the court-rooms occupied by the Judges and clerks, with Brussels carpet. The City-Hail bas also had its anvual calcimin- ing aud repainting, so that to a casual glance it presents quite an attractive appearance. Dennis Brennan, 12 years of ace, the son of Station-Keeper Brennan, of the Cottagze Grove Avenue Station, was yesterday afternoon run own by an eogine on the Michigan Central Koad at the Forty-seventh street crossing. His Jeft foot was crushed and his right lex brokeu. He was attended at his home, No. 2 Hay avenue, by Dr. Andrews, who says the foot will have to come off. 5 ‘Wednesday last Mr. James W.

The officers of the Second Regiment held a mecting last evening at their armory and voted. the thanks of the regiment to Ald. J. A. Kirk for, his constant and unremitting attention to their wants in the subsistence line while on duty recently, Resolutions complimentary to W. L. Newman, Esq., proprietor of the Atlantic Hotel, were also unanimously passed. Mr. Newman was ‘“‘mine bost” to the boys of the Second while they were quartered in the Michigan Southern depot. Gustavus Koch, who was killed on the night of July 31 by a shot from a Gatling gun on the | lake front, was not the man who was defended by W. W. O’Brien, nor was be ever tried on a charge of larceny or any other charge whatever. ‘He was respected . by all with whom he came in contact, and his loss is deeply mourned by a Jarge circle of friends.. He was a member of the Chicago Progressive ‘Lyceum, of the rride of the West Le . G. T., and of tne Chicago Dramatic Company. The brother of the de- ceased is the indicted party. His father did not commit suicide until after the Grand Jury ignored the bill. Z A martyrto principle indeed was the young Tady at Hozers bark who dearly loved a young man from overthe Ridge with whom, however, her pa did not agree in politics. The old man refused to allow the young coupie to wed, and ‘when the young man urged the girl to zet mar- ried without paying attention to the author of ber being she said she covidn’t—they couldn’t get alicense without her father’s consent, be- cause she was only 17. The lover pressed her to say 19, but she ssid she could not tell a lie, she would not lay perjury, upon her soul, and so on. And yet it wouldn’t bave been a lie, for she Was 21 on the 2d ot June, but strong areher principles that she will risk not being married at all rather than let it be known that she is more than 17. A commnnication has been addressed to Gen. ‘Martin Beem by the commanders oi the various companies of veterans, infantry and cavalry, paying the General a well-merited compliment for is unceasing energy during the recent Tiots, and tendering him the honor of assuming ‘sommand of the veterans.

The reports of the Secretary and Commit- tees were read, and an carnest discussion of several important matters followed. Mrs. Eli- zabeth Boynton Harbert announced the subjects selected Yor discussion by the Woman's Con- ference this year, and they were approved as being especially interesting to society at large. Representatives from suveral industrial ana charitable sucieties 0: this city were also pres- ent, and “The Inland’ passed a resolution of- fering sympathy and co-operation. After the business was transacted the ladies adjourned to Vie Tremont, where refreshments were hand- sorely served iu the club-rooms. Speeches were made and recitations given. A married man on Hoyne avenue was ob- served the other day to have several complicated scratches in the vicinity of his nose, and an ac- quaintance of the family said pleasantly to that married man’s wife, ‘* l suppose you hare been having a little difficulty with ‘Theodosius, ch? ipline must be maintained, mustn't it?? ven if my busband and I should happen to disagree“ upon details of do- mestic:policy, forget what I owe to myself as a Woman, s wile, and alady.” Here the crushed friend made an idivtic attempt at an explanation. “No,” said the wite, “if vou see a few scratches upon Theodvsius’s nose, do not rashly attribute them to me.

Two Bobemians, with unpronouuccable names, were married in the County Court yesterday. ‘They had no money to pay the fees, and, as a consequence, the marriage certificate was with- held, They went off happy, nevertheless, and. are going to try to cet ulong without it. A-correspondent writ@s to the County Col- lector and propounds the following: * Where a pieve of lund is advertised for sale for taxes and the property is owned undivided,—when euch person pays his proportion and ‘takes a separate receipt,—is it your custom und is it legal to charge cach person full cost! The guestion, while propounded to Mr. Huck, is ad- dressed to Tae Tisnuse. Tne answer is given, « however, “No.” The costs in such cases. are proportioned as near as can be. Assistant-State’s-Attorney Weber nas a very fine pair of ponies. He knows it, and likes to show them, Yesterday «fternoon ke tuck a re- porter of the Western Cutholic to ride with him. The pontes moved off briskly, as they usually do, and away they went along the lake- shore drive, aud were soon lost to sight. Alter ' ‘an absence’ of about an hour he and his com- panion returned. The carriaze was left ata carriage-shop, and_ the ponies were taken up at a later hour by the police about Lincoln ‘The harucss was scattered through Lake View. To-morrow will be a busy day in the Criminal Court. Inthe morning the motion to quash the indictments againsf Hinsdale ond his clerk, Melick, and Walker, will be argued. Arter this the trial of Pike will be commenced. In the evening the trial of Mulford, the railroad-ticket “sealper,” indicted for purchasing and dealiug in stulen and counterieit tickets, will be taken up. Tne railroads have combined in tae pros- ecution of the latter case, not so wuch to punish Mulford. however, as to test the constitution- ality df the law against “scalpers.”. Evening sessiohs will be held during the week in order to clear the jail, if possible, during the term. The Brooks abortion case was argaed yester- day morning in the Criminal Court, and about noon Was giten to the jury. After an absence of about three hours a verdict was returned finding both Brooks and Koss, alias Russell, guilty in manner and torm as charzed in the i dictment. Brooks was given six ond two years inthe Penitentiary. ‘The latter has been there before. The usual motion was made for anew. trial, which the State’s-Atturney_pro- poses to have passed on, so that the detendants can go toJotict without delay. Mr. Mills is covering himseli with laurels by the suczess he is meeting in prosecating cases. His motto seems to. be, Let no guilty man eseape,”"—~at least, he is working on that theory with great eredit to himself aud pride to bis many friends and the public. Some of those suggested by the Committee on Public Buildings aud Public Service as the unes to appoint an arbitrating comimittee to pass on Walker's claim for $92,090 “extras” on the Court-House work, it {s understood, will re- fuse to act. The scheme is very transparent, and alinost any one cap see through it. The “Ring” wants an arbitrating committee for what! Not tu give Walker less than Egan al- Jows, but to give him more; not to protect the ‘Treasury against Walker, but to protect Walker, and see that he gets every cent he claims, whether entitled to it or not.” ‘The pro- posed committee will have to be paid, of course, and each member will charge nut ess than 325 a day. It will take say ten days to do the work, and cost not less than 31,000. The public nas nothing to gain by the project, but toe “ Ring” evidently believes it has. The proceeding is outrageous and without precedent. ‘A FEW NARD ONES DISPOSED OF.
