Refreshments were served at 10 o'clock under canvas in the yard, which was bandsome- 1y lighted and illum{nated by Chinese lanterns. ‘The table, to which all sat down, was elaborate- iy decorated with flowers, the gift of the many kind and thoughtful friends of Mr. and Mrs. W.and son. At the head a large and beauti- fully arranged bouquet was seen, in which the figures 1877 were conspicuous. In the centre stood the “ birthday cake,” the gift of a young lady, from which blazed twenty-one wax tapers, suggestive of the “light of - other days,” or perhaps the nappiness of tae preceding: years. At the foot an immense saucer bouquet rested, in the centre of which the year 1856 was ingeniously made to appear.

Tae meeting istobe held on Market Square, be- tween Aladison and Washington streets. The Labor League is a peaceful organization. It is composed of workingmen who are conservative in their views, and most of whom have homes. ‘They are radically opposed to Communism, and as such have no alfliliation with the blood- thirsty wretches whoo recently creat- ed all the disorders in this city. They belicved that all their wrongs can be righted through the ballot-box and arbitra- tlon. In order to offset the effect of the pro- posed masé-mecting, the Communists of this city, under the title of the Mlinois Division, Workingmen's Party of the United States, have called 8 meeting at the same place Monday evening. This contemptable mob is misleading the public, and endeavoring to inculcate Com- munistic doctrines under another nae. Work- ingmen shoula beware of this meeting. It means no good for them, and can never result in their benefit. Communistic rule would mean ruin to all, as Communists have no interests in common with the real laborer and mechanic, Who enjoys the fruits of what he earns. The mecting for Tucsday evening will be the only genuine workingmen'’s gatheriug, while Monday night’s mecting will be merely a bringing together of the clans of the Chicago minune. VAN FLEET’S SHIP IS COMING IN. Anneke Jans, her heirs and her vast estate, must take a back set. Another immense leg- acy, baving its locatfon in Holland, and the ben- ctidaries iu the United States, now looms up for the envy of those who are tired of playing the role of Micawber. Billy Van Flect, once the director of o band of- sable ser- enaders, and late of the box-ollice in Wood’s Museum, is now a Van Ficet of consequence. He is one of twenty- three heirs to a fine property in the land of schnapps, valued at twelve millious, so he says. Old John Van Fleet, may his shadow never row less, died ever so many years ago,—some Asad occurrence recently took place ina fashionable mansion on the South Side, the own- ers of which desire to be thought even more fashionable than they are. A few days ago they gave out that they were going to Newport fora. couple of weeks, and ostentatiously engaged a private police agency to watch the premises in ubelr absence: A couple of nights after, the + Vigilant watchman thought he heard a suspicious uoise on the premises, and detected a faint light moving abuut in one of the chambers. Securing reinforcement, he entered the building, and urrested the mother and two daughters of the family, who were living a self-contained exist- ence on crackers, canned stuff, condensed milk, and butter without ice, keeping the shutters clozed, and moving about iu their stockinged feet, using dark-lanterns at night, so as to make people e they bad gone to the countfy. ‘The father and brother were leading a miserable existence down town. The sad ocuurrente has cast a gloom over that fashionable family. The bodies of Philip Schenkenbe: Wilelmi, who were drowned Sunder last inte squall that capsized the vacht Pamlico, were covered: yesterday. e first was that of Schenkenberger, who was towed in by the tug Goldsmith Maid, Capt. Kelley. A watch an $45 in cash were found in the pockets of the clothing. The body of young Wilhelmi was found by the yaclit Lincoln very near the location where the tug found that of Scbenken- berg, which is about _s mile_ northwest of the Government ‘Pier. The body was dressed in dark brown pants, no vest, white shirt, alpaca goat, and buckied shoes. A Swiss Perot watch. No. 23,376, a present to S. Davis from the Welc! Temperance Union, was also found in his ets, the hands indicating 1:23 0’clock. The ac- cident wust have occurred some two hours be- fore that hour. The parents of the unfortunate Young¢nen have been telegraphed to, and will probably arrive in this city to-day.’ Both bodies were badly decomposed, and were deposited at the Morgue. “ TWENTI-ONE.”? -A pleasant company of friends and neighbors say sixty, others 100. He secms to have cut out his immediate relatives,—probably endowed them off with the traditional shilling,—and ‘devised his property to be divided among the third or fourth generation. A short time azo the State Department at Washington received a letter from a similar functionary in Holland ad- vising him of the fact that these $12,000,000 were awaiting ownership, and it was believed that the neritors thereof were residents of . the United States. William says that an uncle, who resides somewhere in Michigan, has traced out all the living descendants of the Ancient John, the Dutch burgomaster, and find that they sum total twenty-three, distributed to California, Ohio, Iowa, New York, Illinois, and Michiran, The uncle referred to is now engaged in hunt- ing up testimony of kinship, and will shortly embark for Holland with the nephew, who fur- nishes these facts for une caitcation and envy of those who have no wealthy deceased rei- atives.

IT WILL BE DEDICATED NEXT SUNDAY. On next Sunday, Aug. 26, the new church of St. Columbkille, on the corner of West Indiana and Pautina strects, will pe formally dedicated. Excepting the cathedral, and that only in orna- ment, this new religious edifice stands foremost ainong the Catholic churches of thiscity. It is built of lime-stone, 170 feet long, eighty feet wide, and seventy-five feet hich. The vlan contemplated two towers, one on each side of the main entrance, 225 and 150 feet respectively, which, howerer, bave been continued only to a short ‘distance above the roof, to.be completed when money becomes more plentiful. On the. west side of the church is a Wing 25x25 feet, which affords entrance to, and exit from, the building. There are three en- trances on Indiana street, opening upon a vesti- Dule, from which stairs lead to the basement, and, up through the towers, to the audience- room, which is thereby permitted to extend from wall to wall, for the undivided accomnio-. dation of worshipers. There is a gallery in the | south end, extending. across the church, and about 40 feet deep, w hich, at early masses, will be used exclusively for children, of which it will accommodate about 600. The body of the chugeh is 77xl11 feet, and_ is supplied with substantial pews of ash and walnut. The main sanctuary will be 27x34, and the two su+ bordinate ones 11x11 feet. The second story of the west wing will be occupied by the choir, which will thus be in view of the: audicnce,—an exception to the rule now in force in Catholic churches, which have the choir in the rear. The walls of the interior are of white sand;finish plaster, relieved by pilasters rising to a heavy cornice, upon which the roof is supported. The cost of the church has been about $120,000, of which but 2 small amount remains unpaid. That this enormous. amount of money should have been subscribed in a space. of six years, by a congregation not over well supplied with the things of this world, is a marvel to, those from without to whom the fact is related. The church, as it stands to-day, in all its imposing ndeur, isless incumbered than less preten- fious edifices erected by more favored congrega- tions. That such is the case is to be ascribed no Jess to the pastor the Rey. T. Burke, than to the people toemselves. Helaid down the policy of paying as they went; and they have lived up toit witha heartincss, a good-will, and a gen- crosity which, after a lengthened ‘waiting of over ‘six years, enables them to enter into the possession and enjoyment of their new building with feelings of joy and self-congratulation. At the first meeting, held in 1870, nearly $11,000 were subscribed with which to undertake the laying of the foundation. Since then, through times of fire and panic, of disaster and ruin, the work has been prosecuted in accordance with the amount of funds on hand, which’ has constantly been subject to the periodical sub- scriptions of the people, and the success of oc casional bazars and festivals. The dedication, of course, will be conducted by Bishop Foley, who is known. to be a great admirer of the building and its zealous pastor, as also to have donated all the sand used in the making of the mortar for its construction. ee So much for the new building. In this con- nection an old, dilapidated, and weatherbeaten stracture in the sanie inclosure, scemingly dis- gusted with the shabby appearance which it presents when compared with the church just noticed, and whose general appear- ance proclaims it to have been at some period or other a place of worship, is worthy of a passing remark. It is the old Church of St. Columbkille; and, though scarcely o score of years in existence, presents the appearance of a building which lad enjoyed the visits of the Pottawatomics in the early days of Chieago. It hag a history, one of interest to many SuN- DAY TRIBUNE readers. Its erection was under- taken on the Ist of January, 1858, by an enthu- sinstic few of the Catholics residing in the vicin- ity, which at that time was but sparsely settled, comprising a Catholic population of 250, all o whom were in the habit of attending divine service at St. Patrick's, corner of Rando!ph and Desplaines streets. This was too long a walk in the dust of summer and the mud, snow, and slush of spring ana winter. So, thouzh money was scarce, the erection of the church was undertaken. Great enthusiasm was dis- plsyes. Mechanics donated their serv- ices, and the small merchants con- tributed sums of money, nails, lumber, and other materials to be used in the building. ‘The erection of the church was countenanced by Dr. Dunne; then Vicar General of the Diocese; and when it was completed, he furnished clereymen from his own church to say the usual masseson Sunday. The church was 70x40 fect, wit a small tower in front, or- namented by a ogee pinnacle, which was uever intended to immortalize the designer. it was opened for the frst time on Easter Sunday ia 1858, when Father McGawn said the first mass. ‘The’ masses on succeeding Sundays were said bythe Rev. Messrs. Dillou, Gibbons, and Ed- wards. The last mentioned was a brother of the lately deceased Geol of the Church of the Annunciation, and who, like him, met with agudden death. During the fall of that year, while raising bis hand to signal a Randolph street-cur, he burst a bluod vessel and died instantaneously. Iu the fall of 1853, Father Ward assumed the responsibility of the |, parish as its first pastor. He remained till the fall of 1859, and: was succeeded by Father Kin- ney,a.genial and erudite old gentleman, who died, greatly regretted, in February, S61. was if that year that the Rev. T. C. Barke, the present pastor, and until that time assistant at St. Mary’s, took charge of the ‘ish. He is now assisted by the Rey. Martin Van de Laar. Pontifical Heb Mass will begin in the new church on Sunday next at balf-past 10 o’clock, the Rt.-Rey. Bishop Foley being celebrant. The sermon will be preached by the Rt.-Rev. J. L. Spalding, Bishop of Peoria. Miss Hannah Mc- Carthy will sing. The Indiana-street cars pass the church-door. The procession of Catholic societies will form at ¥ o’clock on Jackson and alsted streets. BOARD OF TRADE. PASSING ON AMENDMENTS. ‘The Board of Trade held a special meeting at 2:30 yesterday afternoon for the purpose of considering certain amendments to its rules. President Lincoln presided, and Mr. Randolph, the Secretary, called the meeting toorder, when he read the following proposition to strike out from Rule 8 what follows: It is hereby provided in determming the legiti- mate value of property in cases of dispute, its value in other markets, or for manufacturing pur- poxes in this market, together with such other facts as may justly enter into the determination of its true value, shall be considered irrespective of any fictitious price 1t may at the time be selling forin this market. Provided, That in case of de- fault on contracts for future delivery, if it shall not be showed that the seller had provided vy a previons purchase of the property for delivery on is contract, he shall, in the judgment of the Com- mittee, be liable to pay, a8 penalty for such de- fault, damages not exceeding 5 percent of the ‘value of the property sold, This would leave the first section of the rule on Committees of Arbitration and Appeals as tollows: Sec. 1. It shall be the duty of the Committee of Arbitration to hear and determine all «cases of disputed claims voluntarily submitted for their ad- judication by members of the Association. All evi- ‘dence in such caves shal! be taken under oath or affirmation, and shall be duly recorded. Taal euch adjudications the Committee shail construc all rules, regulations, and by-laws of the Association as being designed'to secure justice and equity in trade, and all awards or findings ahall be made in conformity therewith, and in accordance with the Jaws of the land. Tbe amendment to Rule 2%, Sec. 3, strikes out the following words: Secs. 1 and 2of thisrale shall not ve con- strued us authorizing unjuet or unreasonable claims, based upon manipulated or fictitions mar- kets, Which leaves the section to read as follows in regard to the failure to deliver or receive con- tracts: In case of any disagreement arising from any action taken under this rule, the expressed willing- nese of either party to the controversy to submit the pending question of difference to arbitration, under the rules, regulations, and by-laws of the Association, shall be accepted'and construed by the Board of Directors as evidence, on the part of such member,-of his readiness to equitably sajuat_ and settle bie said disputed obligation, and he shall not therefor be subject to discipline for such matter vending such proftered arbitration if he shall abide by the wame in good, faith, and, in case of an award, shall promptly perform auch award. Mr. C. H. Taylor offered the following? Resotced, That the proposition to amend the rules be referred toa committee of five members of the Association, to be appointed by the Presi- dent, who shall report in one week such amend- ena to the rules (if any) as they deem advisa- le. On motfon of. Mr. Baker, the resolution was tabled. ‘The hours for voting on the above amend- ments was fixed for Monday (to-morrow), from l0am.tolp.m. - £,The Board then adjourned. s THE-MILITIA. A MELTING OF THE CHICAGO VETERAN CLUB was held at the office of Forrester & Beem, No. 49 Metropolitan Block, yesterday afternoon, for the purpose of deciding what measures should be taken to provide for possible exigencies. . Gen. A, L. Chetldin, on behalf of the com- mittee from the fnfantry force, recommended that a company of infantry, of not less than eighty nor more than 100 men, to be armed with modern and improved guns, and to be under the control of the Mayor, ag an adjunct to the po- Tice force of the city, be at once organized. ‘There should be two other companies unarmed, held os a reserve force, to be used in case of an emergency. ‘These companies should -be raised from veteravs of the Tate War; men who had served with distinction during the Ite unpleasantness. The duty of tuking care of the arms and ammunition, con- sisting of at least 300 stand of arms and not Jess than 10,000 rounds of fixed ammunition, is to be laid upon the city authorities. The report was adopted nem. con. . ‘A discussion followed as to the formation of an artillery section, and it was finally decided to form, if agreeable to the city authorities, a bat- tery of at least two Napoleon guns. The cen- eral sentiment of the mecting was that the ar- tillery should be held. subject to the orders of the Chicago civil: authorities, and used in Cook County alone. The following letter was read: Genera Hrapquanrens, State oF I:tinois, ApsoTant-Genenat’s Orricy, SPREXGPIELD, Aus, 16, 1877-—Gen. Martin Beem, Chicago, It Genera: In answer to yourvof 15th I bave the honor to say that arrangements were made at the behest of the Governor to equip an infantry force of ut least six companies, forminga battalion, four on the West Side and two on the Sonth Site; and as the whole matter is a gencral one I suppoze that the first ready will be received. No authority has been given to any one person todo this. Ar- rangements for cavalry were made as follows: Licut.-Col. 3. B. Sherer, of the First Regiment, having tendered his resignation he has been com- missioned Colonel of the First Cavalry, and di- rected to perfect the organization of a battalion. ‘A battery is in the dim distance of Gatling guns to be borrowed from the Government. I have no arms but Enfield rifles to issne to the Infantry, Ican obtain 200 or 300 sabres for the cavalry; the clty must do the rest. I have, so to speak, no equipments for infantry, but a plenty of muzzie-losding arms, I have no camp or gurri- eon equipage at all; sorry that this is 60; hope that fature legislation will provide all these things. 1 would advise you to see Col.

THE CITY OF MADISON. STATEMENT OF THE SECOND ENGINEER. . Second Engineer McWhorter, of the burned propeller City of Madison, makes the following statement: “On Thursday evening, while. the propeller } was lying at tte pler,J settled up with the boat, gotmy money, and went ashore. I had been getting $35 pox month, and wanted $45, which the Captain refused to pay.. After I bod left First Enginee Seymour followed me ashore, and asked me to go back, saying that I would be paid $45. I told him I didn’t want to go back. He inssted, and tinally I agreed to return to make thesingle trip. Seymour, McCarthy, and myself vent to a saloon and got acigar. I did not get ¢ bottle of whisky, and I was not drunk, I tien returned to the boat, which pulled out.for Ludington about 10 o'clock. About 1 o%lock in the morning I went on watch. Abiut 10 minutes before the fire-alarin was given I went into the boiler-room and found threi gauges of water. 1 put on some feed. ‘het I went to the closet, where I re- mained not to exceed two minutes, On my re- turn the fteman reported that the boat was on fire. Istarted the “pony,” which works the pumps Then I went up-stairs to call the First igineer, but had to return on account: of the fire.j The boat swung around, and I staid in tltengine-room about ten minutes. ThenT wert up stairs and found the First En- gineerandtrew getting out the life-boat. [ started to fo back to theengine,but couldn't get down. Wien I returned I found that the small boat had ten launched, and witn all, hands on board washbout half a mile off I made a line fast to therail of the propeller and threw the other end>verbourd. I then crawled down the line into te water and shouted for help. Ina tee minues the small boat came and took me off. Jenmure, the steward of the propeller, says that {he sum contributed on the Lumber Exchange for the relicf of the safferers was $7.50—jut cnough to furnish the most needy of the crdr with one day’s board at the Bethel Home, wich was all that was wanted.

A HINSDALE AND MELICE. Incounty “Ring” circles there is a general frignt. A few days ago Walker succeeded in havidig the indictment against him tor perjur committed in swearing in reference to the dis- position he had made of certain moneys— guste on a technical issue, and now comes insdale and his clerk, Melick, indicted for conspiring to destroy evidence against the “Ring,” who want todo the same thing. The motion to-quash in their cases was partly ar- gued before Judge Farwell in the Criminal Court yesterday mormng. The points raised by theli, attorney were purely technical, os fol- lows: Mr. Reed held that the indictments were repugnart on account of the first count laying the offense as having been committed June 1, 1877, while the second count fixed the date as June 1, 1876. His second point was that the first count did not give the date on which the conspiracy had been entered into, and that on this tae indictment was not sufficiently express and positive. His third point was that the indictments had been found on the evidence ot ene indicted alone, and, consequently, were ee . Sidney Smith argued in favor of the motion, and contended that the indictments should be quashed; first, because the names of the Com- missioners who were under investigation for bribery at the time were not stated. His ond point was that the nature.of the evidence alleged to have been destroyed had not been, but should have been, stated, as also the nature of the erasures referred to. His third point was that the second count wastoo general, and failed to give any circumstances ordetails‘n relation to the evidence,suppressedordestroyed. His fourth point was that the means by which the conspix- acy alleged was to be carried out bad not been given with the degree of certainty requisite in criminal law and practice. Mr. Swett isto argue his paints and objec- tions to-morrow evening, after which Messrs. Mills, Weber, and Stiles will reply, and the de- cision of the motion will be left. with the Court.

Seaton in the Chair, met again at the City Clerk’s office last night to hear further evidence in the investigation instituted by the Council at the request of John Riordan as to fraud in the late. Aldermanic election, in which Riordan claims to have been elected to represent the Seventh Ward in the Council. Hildreth and some of his backers were present, as were also Riordan, some of his witnesses, and his attor- ney, and a great deal of testimony, all of which gave very few new facts, was introduced by Riordan’s side. ‘The testimony went to show ‘that gangs of repeaters, leaded by “Soapy” Levy, “Bie Ned” Burns, “Cabbage ” Ryan, and otuier well-known and disreputablecharactershad made circuits of the precincts of the ward and driven voters and ballot-box guards away, and then cast votes. All of which was duly recorded in the columns of Tae TRipoxe at the time of the occurrences. Further testimony showed that there was trouble at the Second Precinct when some meu claimed a right to vote and were de- nied it. Nothing was shown -to fix. any fraud upon anybody in particular or throw any new light on the case. The Committee will hold another meeting Thursday night, at 7 o'clock, in the City Clerk’s office.

The Invading Forces at Shipka Pass Threatened from Both Sides. Fears of an Early Insurrection wn Galicia. Special Dispatch to The Tribune. New York, Aug.19—3.a.m.—The Limeshas the following under date of London, Aug..i8: I . have just received a letter from the correspond- ent of the New York: Times, dated Bucharest, Tuesday, Aug. 14,in which he says that the main hope of the Russians now is that | they may succeed in winning a de- cisive victory at Tirnova, and that incase success should crown their efforts the Czar will be ready to agree upon terms of peace at once. ‘The Emperor of all the Russias is not entirely hopeful of ‘final success in the campaign now going on beyond the Danube. It issaid he con- stantly _ UPBRAIDS HIS ADVISERS, both military and civil, for having led him to make war against Turkey. To those around him be is continually repeating the warning of the Emperor Nicholas, his father, that a nation should” never make war except to repel invasion. Alexander Il. — will not forget the prophecy that he will 1 ever live to see the sixtieth anniversary of his birthday. He still seems in constant fear of assassination, and it is almost impossible for 2 stranger to penetrate his headquarters. His sixtieth birthday anniversary will, if he lives, cecur April 29, 1878. ‘The same correspondent states that the Czar has remuved his headquarters to a town known as Schauschmashla. The place does not appear on any of the maps, but it is located at the junction of two roads leading, the one to Plevna, the other to Biela, both connecting at Sistova. ‘THIS RETROGRADE MGVEMEST of the Emperor ana his staff is ostensibly to conduct the pending operations, but is really, to ayold the possibility-of being cut off from his line.of retreat in case of another defeat of his army. SHIPEA PASS. Hafiz Pasha is reported marching on Shipka Pass with a strong force of Turkish troops. The pass fs still held by a small remuant of the gallant division under-command of Gourka which made, some time since, such a brilliant but seemingly fruitless raid acrossthe Balkans. Gen. Gourka’s forces are certainly ins most critical position. With Suleiman Pasha and a strong army to the south, and Hafiz Pasha’s army to |. the north of them, they can hardly escape cap- ture, if not total annihilation. Avsmall force of Russian soldiers are still gmarding Nikopolis, or rather the ruins of that place. They have no easy duty to perform, however, for Bushi-Bazouks and other Turkish irregular horsemen pay nightly and bloody visits tothe outposts. They come from the direction of Plevna, and succeed in doing much injury to the troops in front of Nikopolis. GALICIA. News of a serious agitation in Galicia, a province of Austria, lying between the Car- pathian Mountains and the Russian frontier, reaches me froma trusty correspondent. The news is reported as of a most critical character. ‘A Polish revolution is momentarily expected, and altogether the outlook for the Russian Em- pire is by no means encoaraging. ‘MIDHAT PASHA’S RECONCILIATION with the Sultan is looked upon as entirely un- favorable to an early peace. The latest news from the front is tothe effect that the belligerent forces are standing face to% face, and are ANXIOUSLY AWAITING THE WORD to engage in a general battle. The Russian army is believed to be favorably situated, and allare confident of success except the Czar, who, though evidently despondgnt, is really anxious for an immediate and supreme effort on the part of his forces. re HALLET, DAVIS & CO.’S RENOWNED UP- RIGHT. While musicians very justly differ on many Doints, there {sone upon which they all agrce, and that is that the Hallett, Davis & Co. up- right piano is the best of that class of instru- ments yet made. (What is particularly admired in them is their sweetness, clearness, and yol- ume of tone, their graceful, elegant construc- tion, and ereat strength and durability. The judges of award of prizes at the Centennial Exposition were unanimously agreed that to this model instrument the first prize traly and rightfully belouged, and that honor was accord- ingly conferred upon it. As to other styles of pianos there was a wide difference of opinion, but the Hallett, Davis & Co. upright stood in their estimatioh without a rival worthy the name. Mr. W. W. Kimball bas a fine selection of these unequaled pianos at his clegant ware- rooms, corner of State aud Adams strects, where he keeps also a cholce stock of pianos of other makes and organs of various styles—all of world-wide reputation. Mr. Kimball is sole agent for the Smith American Organ Company, whose instruments are standard of their kind the world over. ————— OHIO WORKINGMEN'’S PARTY. .

Accordingly the Mayor and Town Clerk, Superintendent of Police, and other public officials, commenced a é investigation all the afternoon. It was’ soon found that the insects had appeared in several parts of the city, and it was a significant fact that they existed in the vicinity of the two rail- way stations, principally near the goods traffic department, thus strengthening the theory of importation. Numbers of specimens® in’ ya- rious stages of development were collected and subjected to:a microscopical examination. but they were found to be smaller than the published representations, being evident! younger, and were of various shapes, accord ing to the stagesof development.
