Wiley, of the West Lake Street Station. George Vaughan, night scavenger, was accidentally crushed under an outhouse which he was removing from No. 393 Twenty-fifth strect on the night of the 6th inst. A young man assisting him ran.to the nearest police station, but singularly enough received no aid, and the unfortuuste Vaughan was not removed for three hours, when some members of the same orranization hap- pened to pass by. He now lies at No. 178 Hoyne Street in a critical condition. On the 4th inst., at Grand Crossing, John Borbling’s only child, a little girl of 20 months, was accidentally shot by her uncle, a .boy 11 years old, in whose charze she had been left. "The ball entered the right breast at the margin of the sternum, between the third and fourth tits. Dr. Pease was immediately called, and Dr, Edmund Andrews was also calica in con- sBultation. It was deemed inadvisable to take ny measures toward extracting the ball, it being of the smallest-sized cartrdee. The child is at present doing very well under tne care of Dr. Pease. A dispatch was received at military bead- quarters yesterday, in which Capt. Benham, commanding at Fort Ellis, under date ot Sept. 6, says:_ ‘‘Courier just in, and reports Howard on the Yellowstone, opposite the mouth of the East Fork, yesterday.

The base of the fountain is thirty-six fect in diameter, the outer circle being lincd witha stone trough of suf- ficient capacity to water sixty horses at once. From the centre of the base rises a group of dolphins supporting a vase for flowers, and this is surmounted by a varicty of jets from which the water supply will be received.

A. R. to at- ‘tend its meeting Friday evening. About thirty of them came in a ‘body, and, as soon us the secret work of the Order was ended, were re-. ceived with military honors. After their formal introduction the Post. was favored ‘by several very excellent speeches. Mr. Holbrook, in his remarks, referred to Daniel Webster's speech to the veterans of Bunker Hill, in which he said to them, “ Gentlemen, you have come down to us from a past zeneratiou.”” The speaker thought the soldiers of the Rebellion then present might say the same w_ thein. ‘hirty years ago they went to the plains of Mexico w fight for and obtain the justice denied the United States by that people. It wus not the soldier's business’ to tall ie The most emphatic thiny he could do was to point them to what they accomplished. Perhaps he could do that with pride, and perhaps they had a rizht todoso. ‘The great bonanza they had brought tothe country was one result (meaning the silver mines). They could uot begin to tell the reminisceuces of that war... He thougnt of one. Some of his'men came to him and said they had been told that to fight Mexico was to perpetuate slavery and eularge the territory itowned. They asked if that would be the result. He told them no.

He saw before him men who bad maintaired those principles. | ‘The soldiers in Mexico fought to acquire territory. The soldiers of 61 fought to free it and preserve it free. Col.

His regiment, the Sixth Ul- nois, was ordered to New Mexico to fight the Nayajos; afterwards reported in Alexico, but was ordered back Lo Santa Fe, where it remained un- til the war closed.

Otis, Juergens, Guinnep, Wilson, ett, and others made interesting speeches. ne remainder of the evenin: spent in telling amusing and patriotic reminiscences, and at the close an invitution was given the veterans to attend the winter camp! of the Post this winter, Which was responded to by a yote of thanks. A BOGUS CIARLEY. About three months ago the Matron of the Tome of the Friendless, corner of ‘Twentieth street and Wabash avenue, thought she had Charley Ross amoug the inmutes of the institu- tion. Her theory bas always been that the litle fellow would nof be found’ in any one’s com- pany, but would turn up as a street arab. Many ‘people have called at the Home since Charley disappeared, und a close watch has been kept on all the children sent ur brought there. Along in June a policeman put iu charge of Miss Bow- man a little boy, dirty and sun-burnt and ra; ged. A-day or two subsequently, she noticed him closely in the schdol-room, — and was struck with the remarkable resemblance of his features to those of the‘photograph of the Ross child. The more she'looked at him— at his eyes, and cheek-bones, and forehead— the stronger became her.conviction that he was Charley. He had -given the name of Frank Austin. Before the matron got an opportunity to question him, however, he ran away. A month later another. policeman brought him in ayain, aud this time he said his nume was Jimmy Williams. As before, he skipped out after remaining a dav or two. Recently he was turned over to the institution for the third time, and claimed to be Joc Zigler. Making sure of his retention, Miss Bowman at last gotachance to talk to him. He said he was @ years old. He could recollect the nanie of New York, and that he was in compauy with sqme men there. They lost him. Then he went on 2 boat, and a woman took care of him. He, however, missed her one day. Next he went traveling in the woods with sume peo- ple. ‘They at length took him toa town, and there he got ona trainend came to Chicago. Since his arrival here he had been selling news papers and sleeping under Tue Prune Build- ing. Ie scemed to be telling the truth, and when asked how many names he had, said that one of his names was Chariey Ross. Miss. man now felt sure she had found the v. Charley. She therefore sent for Mr. Waruer. of Pinkerton’s agency, to learn what he thought. He looked at the lad, questioned him closely, found him wellupin thieves’ slang, aud concluded that some one bad put him up to telling the story he did. Aguin, the boy was certainly be- tween 8 and 9 vears old;.and this fact showed that he was lying. The little fellow ran awav from the Home thé*‘next day and is now at large. So Chicago has lost temporarily, at least, her claim to” haviag been the home of | Charley Ross. “ { HOTEL ARRIVALS. Palmer House—W. W. Allen, Mobile; I. Wilcox, St. Paul; G. L.

THE RUILDING COMMITTEE AND TUE MAYOR met yesterday aftersoon if the Council Cham- ber. Allthe members of the Committee were present, and Mr. Ralph, Sceretary of the De- partment of Buildings, officiated as Secretary of the Committee. The meeting was the tirst one to ihich the reporters were admitted. ‘The minutes of a previous meeting were read and approved. As they contain information not heretofore published, it might be well to state that they Announced that upon a motion made by Ald. Ballard the Committee had decided to take no action in regard to the building of a dome for the Court-House; that upon a motion of Ald. Cook the base for the foundations of all exterior and interior walls of the city’s portion of the new Citv-Hall shall be composed of con- crete, thirty-six inches thick, and that no piles be used under City-Hall, or any portion. of the same; tbat upon a motion of Ald. Covk the Department of Pubt Works was iustructed to advertise for bids for excavating the City-Hall lot toa uniform depth of eleven fect below street grade; that upon Ald. Ballard’s motion the Chairman of the Committee was instructed to wait upon the Chairman of the Building Com- mittee of the Board of Commissioners of Cook County, and arrange with them for a conference with the Council Committee; that the Mayor and Ald. Van Osdel were instructed to make a contract with Architect Egan for plang, ete. The Mayor said that he and Mr. Van Osdel had had = A TALK WITH ARCHITECT EGAN, andthe result of their conversation could be seen ina coutract which they had prepared and. which Egan had signed. The document is as follows: ‘This article witnesseth an agreement, made and entered into this Sth day of September, A. D. 1877, by and between James J. in, Architect. of the City of Chicago, party of the first part, and the City of Chicago, party of the second part, Said first patty agrees to und with the said second party for and in consideration of a certain sum of money hereinafter mentioned. to prepare, make, furnish, and deliver to said second party full and complete covies of the exterior dewizn of the Cook County Court-House as it is now being erected on Block #9, Original Town of Chicago, such copies to nelude theeast, west, and north or soath elevations (exclusive of the central dome): also to furmeh copies of all sections of front elevations and de- tails of cut-etone work for the same. Also to fur- nish a plan of the eutire exterior walls, with di- mensions on the saine, figured in detail. The eccttons of the elevations to have heights given in in detail, Also to furnish # table of approximate weights of encn pier or pilaster in the exterior walle to the upper surface of the concrete ase. The whole is to be done in a complete, ar- tistic. and comprehensive manner, the plan aud table of weights to be furnished on or before the 3th day of the present month of September, and the entire work completed on or before the let day of October next ensuing. In consideration of euch drawings, plans, elevations, and sections be- ing fully and'completely made ‘and delivered in the manner and time herein agreed upon, said Fecond party agrees to pay to sald first party or their legal representatives the sum of $3,000, In testimony of which witness the inand and seal of the party of the first part, and the signature of the Mayor of the city, as Chief of the Department of Public Works, together with the signatures of a imajority of the Committee on Public Buildings of the City of Chicago, duly authorized to make such agreement by ordinance passed Sept. 3, 1877, such payment to be in fall of any and all architectural services Leretofore rendered. Ald. Van Osdel spoke in explanation of THE KEASON WHY acontract had beenentered intowith Egan. He said that the county and city had agreed to have their respective portions of the Court-House harmonize in exterior design. Egan had de- aigned the county's balf, and of course had the plans by which the structure was to be built. Another architect: might copy those plans, but he would, of course, be obliged, in order to do that, to get permission from Fgav. That per- mission Egan would, of. course, not give, und therefore that individual was. the only one who could furnish the plans which they must have. ‘Ald. Cook said that the: city might make measurements of the county's structure as far as it has progressed and bviid from that, but, of course, that would bo slow work, and they would not know the weights falling upon the different sections of the foundations. There- fore, it was neccssary, absolutely essential, that Egan should be engaged to drew the ex- terior design, and, 25 that drewing was to in- Japse of a few clude figures, weights, ete. and the finishing ot it was to settle beyond dispute any controversy which might arise as to Egan’s rights as archi- tect (those rights ending after tne drawing was turned over to the city), he thought the contract cheap indeed. z ‘The other members thought so too, evidently, for, upon Ald. Cook’s motion, the contract was entered into and immediately signe Mayor Heath then presentea a sectional draw- ing showing srades, the amount of excavation necessary, ete., and stated that the survey made Friday had shown that only 2,800 eubie yards of dirt were to be removed. Upon motion, the Mayor was directed to ad- yertise fur proposals for doing the work, and his Honor stated that he would have the speciti- cations ready by Monday. ‘The Mayor has already advertised for pro- posals for laying the foundations, and. yester- day’s action makes its plain that the work of building the city’s portion of the Court-House has at last been undertaken in earnest.

Only one new case of scarlet fever was re- ported yesterday at the Health Office. ‘he deaths from that disease have numbered but five during the week, and the general mortality has been much lighter than is usual at this aca son of the year. The Committee on Gas met {n thé City Clerk’s office yesterday afternoon -and looked over various minor watters, principally references in regard to the intreduction of oifand gasoline for street-lighting purpuses. There were but three members of the Committee present,—Ald. Throop, Waldo, and Ryan,—and they refused to act till a fuller meeting of the Committee could be had. Ald. Throop remarked to a reporter: “Its no use for us to report anything; the Council votes down everything we recommend.” During the past week the Building Depart- ment issued permits for thirty-two buildings, whose aggregate estimated cost is $127,000. ‘The permits issued yesterday were as follows: George Lassig, a two-story warehouse, 40x83 feet, Clark, near Fourteenth street, to cost $2,000; Peter Snider, a three-story and _base- ment store-dwelling, 2x70 feet, No. 273 North avenue, to cost $3,700; K, Lindman, a two-story and cellar dwelling, 20x38 fect, No. 14 Sherman court, to cost $1,000; C.

They were engaged in hoisting a stone on the dome, when the machinery gave way. The former had his ankle broken, and the Jatter was bruised badly abuut the legs. They were taken to the County Hospital. FIGURES FOR REFLECTION. I arguments were wanted to demonstrate the recklessness und incapacity of the preseut Coun- ty Board, they could be found nowhere else a3 readily a8 in’ the management of the several county institutions. A reporter yesterday got some ligures showing some of the expenses for the past nine months, which are appended. The first column represents the appropriation for the.year, and the second the expenditures made up to Sept. 1: Insane Asylum. Poor-House.....22 ose County Agent's oflice. County Hospital, Outdoor relief, ormal School. jeting prisoners... Sheriff's oftice.. ‘These figures speak for themselves, and tell no uncertain story. Every appropriation but ove has been has been largely overdrawn in nine mouths, from which it is safe to predict that the indebtedness of the county will have n increased $500,000 by the end of the year. What percentage of ‘the expenditures bas been actually stolen is not known, but that it is large there is uo doubt. The expenses ot the County Agent’s office are the most striking, especially when it is taken into account that the office has been practicalty closed daring the summer. ‘The showing at the other charitable institutions does no one any eredit. The figures are unan- swerable proot that robbery has been the rule everywhere, and more damning to the “Ring” than any showing that could be made.

They continued to live together uutil about a year ago, when he claims that she obtained a fraudulent divorce through the shyster Sims, who is now in jail This broke up the family circle, and they sepa- rated. Since then,—about a month ago,—the story gocs that she tired of single blessedness, and'murried Paul Ramson, with whom she has since lived. The case was disposed of by the dustice holding that the divorce was fraudulent, and by binding the fair one over to the Criminal Court under bond for $800. She furnished bail promptly, amd returned to the bosom of her family. THE WORLD'S A STAGE. While the Leading Man Still De- clines the Role of Father. The Walking Lady Will Not Be De- prived of. Her. Part if Sho Knows It. An Explanation of the Plot by the Old Man of the Company, With a Few Reflections on the Ethics of Beer-Saloons. The original melodrama, entitled ‘Nettie O'Neill; or, Two Can Play: at That Game,” occa- sioned quite a sensation yesterday. James O'Neill, the principal actor i the piece, re- marked, as he walked along thesidewalk yester- day ou his way to the afternoon . performance, “What a feartul thing it is to be handsome!” “And distinguished,” suggested Stuart Rob- son. ‘Yes, yes, of course,” said James, who was pulling a face as long as Booth in Hamlet. “If 1 was as good looking a man as you,” said Billy Crane, “I'd give a thousand—I’d give my boots for your chances for the season. What luck some fellows have in this business. Look how the mls are crowding in to the matinee.” “Allis not gold that glitters,” sighed the pensive James, ‘and the gay world whichlaughs over the frolics of this mimic world of ours may haply never know the thrilling story of passion and of woe whieh, in the appropriate language of the morning newspaper, culminated in the sensation of yesterday.” Crane wept. “‘fo think,” said Billy, “that it-is possible such tragedies should be done, that so much good thunder should bestolen. I love thunder. Rob,” he proceeded, wiping his eyes, “I love thunder. love funerals, Iam the male Ida Vernon ot America. O! give me death or give me ecrapes. What fs life without a scrape!” “Gentlemen,” said O'Neill, who had his eye on the crowds of ladies flocking in, ‘gentlemen, you! are facetious. I must go and dress for my art.?? He went through his part as usual and came out on the sidewalk at 5 o'clock and leaned against alamp-post, and sighed. A crowd of young ladies was gatbered upon the opposite sidewalk. ‘How interesting ne was to-day,” they were saying, “ How charming it must be fora man like him to be the hero of a romance! O that 1 were a man and an actor!” ; “ANI? sighed O'Neill as he leaned on his cane, “how little you giddy throng knows of the sorrows of the great. They envy me. I see it, but they have ceased to interest me. ‘This heart is stone. I shall——” “Come and have a drink, Jim.” The speaker was a newspaper man, and he had an cyening paper in bis hagd containing a di- Yuted statement of the bill fled by Nettie, the alleged first Mrs. O'Neill. «Please be interviewed,” said. the newspaper man; “Jamie, Jim, Jimmie, do, do open those marble jaws and let them creak. Say some- thing—say anything. I don’t care what it is, so Jong:as it is said in human language.” “Sir,” said the young and promi “ T have nothing whatever to say.” “Have you read this statement of the al- legedi”? . “Tt is,” said he, “merely an amplification of her charges sguinst me, and these Ihave al- ready stated are false. 1 have concladed not to say anything more about the matter. The pub- lie can draw their own conclusions, They can believe whatever they please. This business will be arranged in the courts, end will be de- cided there.” “Then you decline to open your mouth any more??? * Supper is served at the Clifton House about 6,” he rejoined, “I shall open my mouth there. Good day.” +» NETTIE’S STORY was related by an evening reporter, but it is al- togetber too pathetic for repetition. A Trip~ UNE interviewer sought and tound her door, and rang the bell, but, happening to takea hasty glance at the eventug paper avain, he burst into tears and went away. He would uot—no, not if his situation depended upon invade the satictity of that home where ‘even the gold- fishes in their crystal aquarium,” says the Pust reporter, ‘‘scem to appreciate the calm peace that surrounds them.” The story ol yery sad, and would be quite readable down. it has, however, the fault of n ness and length.- There are a few good touches in it here and there, but the language is_common- place, and at times exagecrated. ‘He longed tor a freedom from his self-imposed burdens” has a melodramatic ring in it which is highly in- appropriate. Again, “warped to a thankless 1g actor, constancy’ to. one man who knew not how to interpret love,” is _alte- gether too highilown. However, there oveurs here and there a bright, graphic phrase which Walt Whitman might bave written. For example: ‘In 1874 a cnild was born.” How concise, how full of tender meaning! And again: “The father ‘abandoned it and its un- protected mother.” This is equal to ansthing in Victor Hugo. However, when she indulses in such phrases as, ** How little he knew bow to estimate a mother’s love,’ itis impossible vot to suspect her of deliberate plagiarism. Turn we now from this harrowing scene to one more congenial to the popular heart. Knights of the round: table gathered in circles in the dizzy actors’ retreat, and “OLD PAP?” the centre of attraction. “Old Pap” isthe man who knew Jim O'Neill when a baby, aud who dandled bin: on his Kuce. -It might have been a question of beer, or simply one of forgettul- ness, but it is certain that last evening + Old Pap” had not the slightest recollection of Jim O'Neill iv the capacity of a bootblack. "I never said znyching of the kind ” said Pap. “Why, sir, [regard Mr. O'Neill us one of the finest—oue of the youngest,—why of course he is the youngest leading man: here Jake, O Jake! Jake Murray! when did dim——” “For the love of Heaven, don’t ask that per- son any questions, Pap. We don’t want to hear the private history of every actor on the Amer- ican sta Tell us, was Jim O'Neill a boot- black, and@id you really pick him out of the gutter and bring bim out??? “Never said anything of the kind,” quoth Pap. Of course I brought him out, but ke was no boctblack. He was only a file-cutter when Ixnew bim first, and Epuk him on the boards at Cleveland. Yes, sir, Jimmic, although [ say it mysell, is one of the tinest—here Jake! Jake! you remember Jimmie in—" “Well, let Jake alone, Pap. What about Nettie? Who is Nettie! Did you dandle her on your koece when she was an infant like Jimmie!” “Nettie,” said Pap, ‘was a very pice young girl,—just as good as any you coukl find in Cleve- land. “Her mother kept a candy-sture, and she used to go around a good deal when she was old enough. She ‘got mashed’ on Jim. Jim was alwaysa ‘masher.’ ‘Lhat’s really the whole secret of the business, you know. ‘There was 2 fellow by the name of Zooker,—a sheeny. he ‘got mashed’ on Nettie, and once 1 remem- ber Zooker came around blazing mad with a patel in his hand to shoot Jim. Jim, you see, ad stolen girl from him. If Zooker had found Jim that night he’d bave let him haye it, Itell you. O, he was'the maddest Jew you ever saw.” “Waiter, some more beer.” “No, [was not present at the ceremony,” said Pup, “only I heard that they were marricd. She's a nice girl. Idon’t know that anybody saw them married; but thut’s the way it was. Everybody supposed so. Ah! Jimmie’s a tine actor. He puts on airs now. Why, do you. know he turned up his nose one day because he had to seek me down in the Dizzy? Szys L Don’t you live at the Clifton House? Don’t you go down to the baseincut there to get your wine!
