Anew steam street-ar, from the Baldwin Motor Works, arrived in’ this city yesterday from Philadelphia for the Lawndale ‘Railroad. ‘A full description of the motor appeared in Tue ‘LRIBONE some time since. This car_was on ex- hibition up to 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon at the foot of Monroe strect, and then it was re- moved tothe corner of Canal and Sixteenth streets, in the railroad yard, where it will re- main uutil Monday morning, when it will be sent to Milwaukee, there to remain on trial un- til called for by the Lawndale Company. ‘The track on the Lawndale Road has not yet been laid, nor will it be, according to the state- ment of the oflicers, until the property-owners between Western avenue and the city limits come down with a bonus of $3,000 on the car and $3,000 on the track, which they have inti- mated they would furnish. This, it is thouzht, - will be done immediately, and it isexps the road will bein operat in abouttwo weeks. The track and the car will cost in the neigh- borhood of $12,000 or $15,009, and the 36.000 is intended to assist in the running expenses for the first year, during which time, it is not ex- ected that the road will pay. ‘Lhe price is to Te five cents for a single fare, with a liberal re- duction to those taking tickets. The officers of the road are as follows: President, Jobn Crawford; Secretary, H. M. Garlick; Treasure! S$. J. Gloyer; aud there are about seven stoc holders. A PROFESSIONAL DISENCHANTER das established herself in New York, and pro- poses to travel the country counteracting the evil influences of the British blonde upon sus- ceptible young men. When a young man be- gins to rave about an actress with much sawdust Snd other personal charms about her, instead of having him locked up asa lunatic, or praying over him, or calling him a dum fool, or resort- ing to auy other of the time-honored’ Lut inef- fectual processes tor the restoration to s unfortunates similarly afllicted, bis f tain the Professional Disenchanter, who, for an honorarium varving in amount according to the desperatencss of the case, agrees to elfect—and ~—invariauly does ef- fect—a complete cure. She writes to the young man signing herself “Lydia Mark- son,” or “Pauline Thompham,” or something of the sort, aud stating tuat she has observed and been flattered by his marked attentions, invites him to‘call on her. He does so, aud she receives hits warmly, shows hiu the portrait of her first husband whom sbe espoused in 1546, and the photographs of her twin-grandchildren, and puts plenty of “h’s” and unorance into her conversation, and urges him to x partake of her humble mval of hash with plenty of onions. In other cases, where it is believed that a different mode of treatment is to be preferred, she receives him in deep black, and. armed with two volumes of sermons and endeavors to lure him into a dis- cussion as to the merits of the Unitarian creed and the duration of punishmeut atter death. When he remarks that he “was uot prepared,” she interrupts him to say that we ougnt alwavs to be prepared, for lie is uncertaio, and our. hearts, like mutiled drums, are beating funeral marches to the grave, which, likewise, is the endof all things. “But,” he stammers, “1 meant I did not expect—that is, such a differ- ence between.” “*I know,” she says, with a shudder, “tmy life in that gilded palace of temptation. and my life here. No one knows it better or regrets it more than I, but I wish to found and endow a Chair of Calvinistic theology in tue University of Dunfermline, and so few uerative careers are open to us women!

Page, who is an accomplished singer, and whose efforts have contributed much to the success of this choice brochure. Mrs. Pare is the wife ot Harlan M. Page, of the Wisconsin State Journal. It may not be generally known that he met with an ac- cident some time since which bas had the un- happy result of depriving him almost entirely of his memory. Mrs. Page has undertaken the roduction of this operetta for the benefit of e Habnemun Hospital. The time and place ‘will be announced hereafter. The two Swedish weeklies, Swedish American and the New World, which bave been published in Chicago for the last ten years. have now been “ponsolidated, and will come out Thursday under the new name of the Swedish Tribune, a weckly, large, eight-page paper.

Mattson, pf Minnesota, formerly Secretary ot State of Minnesota, has gone in as sharcholder and Di- rector in the Publishing Company. and will be the General Manager of the Swedish Tribune. ahs offices are in Uhblich’s Blgck, North Clark street. In our report in yesterday’s issue of the es- rape from Justice Hammili’s office of James ‘Martin, it was stated that Constable Baynes was responsible for the escape. Tue Tribune has since ascertained that this was a mistake. The prisoner came upon a chanze of venue from the North-Side Police-Court to Justice Gammill’s oftice in charge of two orthree police offivers and Licut. Baus, and they were in Ham- mill’s office during the trial, and at the time of the escape. The prisoner was never in the cus- tody of Constabie Baynes, and Baynes was not at the Justice’s office when the escape occurred. The police in charge will have to account for the escape. Baynes demands an investigation. Michael Riley, 40 years of age. gardener by occupation, and claiming to reside at No. 344 ‘West Monroe street, vesterday noon tried 10 commit suicide by throwing himself under the horses of Madison street-car No. 87 going west- ward rapidly at the Fifth avenue crossing. The driver, Nathan North, and Officer James Brennan of the ‘West Madison Street Station, made a bold and suc- cessful effort to save his life. He was then locked up at the station, but within an hour had hung himself to the door of his cell ‘with a hepen cord. He was cut down just in the mck of time, and was thereafter stripped of clothing and everything else that could be util- ized by a crazy man. The Committee on Arrangements of the Catholic Total Abstinence Union of the State of WMinois have secured the Tabernacle for a mass- meeting, which will be held op the evening of Sept. 25.

Dr. MeMullen. Vicar General of the Diocese, will preside, and addresses will be made by Father Powers of Joliet, Fathers McShane, Terry, Handley, Lynch (of Lincoln, Il.), Barton, and others. Mrs. William Bartholin, wife of the ex- Station-Keeper at the Armory, yesterday made 3 pitiful plea for help to Mayor Heath. Her husband is sick, and herself and children are on the yerge of starvation, and are lisble at any moment to be ejected from theirhome, No. 512g North Clark, though the landlord deserves the Freatest praise for his leniency to the stricken Zamily thus far. Bartholin, it will be remem- Dered, wes dropped from the force by reason of @ criminal charge brought against him by ex- Capt. Buckley. ‘Since that time he has been ac- quitted honorably, and has even been promised his place on the force, but has never got it. He is very short-siehted, and can do’ only zertain kinds of work, and it is indeed hara if the city authorities cannot do something to .aid him iu this extremity. PERSO: Gen. H. B.

And now we have the other side of the story, which is exactly what was foreshadowed in the meagre interview with Mr. O'Neill, when asked to explain his relations with “ Nettie,” the wom- anwhoclaims him as ber husband, and the father of his child, and wants some of the $15,- 000 the handsome actor has accumulated by his industry. Ibe answer to ‘Nettie’s” bill for divoree was filed yesterday by Fred Cran¢g, Mr. O’Neill’s attorney. It sets forth that about the Ist of August, 1871, in Cleveland, he became acquainted with Nettie Walsh, who, so far as he knows, was never known or called by any other name what- ever, she having adopted the ‘name of O'Neill simply for the purpuses of this suit. His ac quatutance with her continued up to the time he was employed as an actor in Cleveland, about, one year, and has continued at wide intervals of time up to the present. After his engagement at Cleveland ended, he came to Chicago and re- mained here three years,—two of which he played at McVicker’s and the other at Hooley's. “Nettie” resided in Cleveland during “all of said period, but on two occasions visited Chicago. Wether she came for the purpose of renewing the acquaintance or not Mr. O'Neill doesn’t know, and therefore cannot state. He denies the allegation in the bill that he was mar- ried in Cleveland or elsewhere to Nettie Walsh, either in the month of August or at any other time. This denial is based upon his positive knowledge, aud he PRONOUNCES THE ALLEGATION ENTIRELY false in theory, in substance, snd in fact. ‘He avers that the person calling herself Nettic O'Neill is Nettie Walsh; that she has no authority to use "his name in public or before the Court, especially as his wife. And he further avers that she is under the influence of sundry designing persons who seek to ruin his professional prospects, and advised and solicited her to bring suit, and set forth a pretended aud bogus marriage with that end in view. He charges, upon knowledge and belief, that Nettie Walsh, at the beginuing of the acquaintance, was nota chaste and virtuous woman; and he avers, also upon knowledge and. belief, that so far as the fatnerhood of the child is concerned, he doesn’t know whether he is the father, and therefore cannot state whether he is its | papa or not, leaving her to make proof as she may deem most beneficial toher cause. In May, 1875, he went to Sau Francisco and remained ayear. Thence he went ener. York and remained for a similar period. Then he came to Chicago aguin, reaching here just before the suit was brouyut.' He avers that durlug all taht period he never came fa contact with Nettie Walsh, and the acquaintance came toan end aud wasextinguished. Add he fur- ther avers that during his absence eaid Nettie Was the recipient of improper attentions from divers men, whose names ure to him unknown at present, and that she is now living with Seed ape ae is not her husband, but © Mm. Joye the murivat eaus of support and en- RELATIONS OF A HUSBAND, He then sets up that in June, 1877, he was mar- ried to Elen Quinlan in the City of New York, and lives with her as his only wife. Their mar riage was solemnized according to the forms of law, and sealed with the obligations of religion in the church, and ever since his marnage he hhas becn engaged in endeavoring to support himself and wite in a just, and lawful, and hon- orable way. He denies that he is worth $15,020, and is willing to make an exhibit to the Court ofall his property, but avers that said Nettie Walsh has no right whatever to call for such 2 statement, nor has she auy claim upon his prop- erty or apy part of It. He denies that he ts ad- dicted to vicious and. obscene habits, averring, on the contrary, that he is living a laborious life and making provisions for the future. In .con- clusion he denies all andevery one of the *out- ragvous charges” in the bill of complaint, dee claring them to be without foundation in sub- stance or in fact. It is not known when the case will come up for trial. COLONIZATION. EMIGRATION TO KANSAS. About a week ago several men of family, who were out of work and had no prospects of pro- curing employment in this city, cameto the con- clusion that the best thing they could do would be tocmigrate to Kansas. They talked the matter over among themselves and with others, and in three or four days got about fifty per- sons interested in the project. ‘Ihe first meet- ing of the proposed colony was held yesterday morning at No. 57 Dearborn street, and their action indizates that tney mean business. They have no particular objective point in view, but the country between Kinsley aud Dodge City, on the Atchison, Topeka =& Santa Fe Railroad, having been represeuted as desirable, they purpose finding out. if it is so. ‘After sighing an agreement to take so much land apiece, a committee, consisting of W. Y. Johnson, Levi Wing, Charles Newberry, and I ‘A. Shaw, was appointed to visit that locality and report upon its advantages. An assessment of $f each was made on every member to defray the expenses. The gentlemen named will stact at once, aud are expected to submit the result of their investigations ata mecting to be held two weeks hevee. Should the place meu- tioned prove to be undesirable, the Committce will visit other localities, their instructions being to find land which will give satisfaction. So it is reasonaoly sure that within six weeks at least 100 people will bid good-by to Chicago and se- cure homes in Kansas. COMMERCIAL CO-OPERATION. The Germans have also organized 2 Coloniza- ion Society, and the scheme of the projectors pot only'a unique but a goo one. It is to be Known as the Chicago Colonization Association, and a charter is to be secured. The first mect- ing was held on the 9th inst., and the tollowing officers elected: President, William Koch; Vice-President, Herr Roth: Sceretary, A. G. Lott; Tressurer, B. Kiel. About seventy-five have already signed the roll. All the members are workingmen, and the majority of them have sarule they have not the means to carry out their desires to locate on Western lands. And it is the manner of supplying them with funds which 1s the peculiar feature of the projeyt. Itis proposed to appeal to meu who will benefited by the establishment of the colonies to furnish the moncy to enable the emi- grants to reach their destination and commence farm work. Interest will- be paid on the advances, and liens i on the land as_securi- ty. The Soviety will have its headquarters in this city, and send out squads of a hundred or more twice 2 year, cach party to settle in a dif- ferent locality. The second meeting of the As- sociation was held at No. 4 rth Clark street lastevening, and a constitution adopted. A committee Was also appomted to present the scheme to business men, with a view of induc ing them to aid in carryiwg it out by loaning the emigrants the mouvy necessary to realize their wishes. Thus far no particular section of the West has been decided upon as objective ints, but it is probable that Southern Nebras- Ea, Kansas, or Dakota will be selected. SOCIAL GOSSIP. MATRIMONIAL, The marriage of Miss-Powers to Mr. D. C. Dugan took place on the 6th inst. at the resi- dence of the bride’s father, No. 521 West Twelith street. ‘At tne residenee of the bride’s sister, Mrs. George Lancaster, in Lexington, Ky., Sept. 11, Mies Bettie Bell, daughter of Mr. Kinzea Stone, was married to Mr. J.

A pleasant little entertainment was given last week at Occidental Hall, being a repetition of one of a similar character which was rendered with much eclat at a private residence some weeks since for the benellt of the Foundlings’ Home. The play was “ Beauty and the Beast.” Itavas written by a young lady not over 14 years of axe, and Was rehearsed, put upon the Stage, and acted by abery of youug clnidren, none of whom were over lt. The little fairy burlesque was delichtrully acted by the little ones, Who manifested good dramatic capabilities. The characters were appropriately cast, and sustained with genuine juvenile spirit and abandon. The beautifut music contributed by ‘Miss Matthews, Miss Seanlon, and Signor Car- rozzi was un additional attraction which the large and appreciative audience seemed to con- sider a3 an unexpected treat. ® The ladies of the Union Park Congregational Chureli gave a highly enjoyable sociable in the parlors of the church last ‘Thursday evening: The first aniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. J, L.

The Board of Audit of the Town of ee i ing yesterday Chicago held an adjourned mecting yes y afternoon at£ o'clock at No. 46 South Clark street, for the purpose of considering the report of aspecial committee on outstanding claims ainst the town. *eThere were present Justices D? Wolf, Foote, Haines, Summerfield, Wallace, and Meech; Su- pervisor Mason, ee Clerk King. The first- ed oficial presided. the report of the Committee on Outstanding aims was taken up. cee Muson said it was conceded that those town orders were originally issued for excessive salaries, and contended that the action of the County Board was unconstitutional. Justice Hain id he did not thinkthe town had any legal right to divert the money ‘from the purpose for which it was intended. A tax Jeyy had been made and the money collected, therefore the Town Board snould devote and v , the funds to the payment of the claims against the town. He was of the opinion that the Siipraiie Court would — sus- tain the — claimants. He wanted — to know whatthey were going to do with the money. They could not return it. The orders had been purchased oa the strength of the tax, and it was their duty, as trustees, to apply the money for the purpose for which it was in- tended. Ifthey tailed so to do the persons holdmy the orders could compel then to pay. ‘Mr. King indorsed Mr. Mason’s remarks, aud in reply to Justice Hames, about the disposition of the money, said that matter could be casily arravged by and by. He sail there bad been doubie-dealing by the old Tuwn Board, and their action was ail wrong; and no bill that was wrong snould have his yote. Justice Haines asked him what he would do with the money, and Mr. King said that he did not think the Supreme Court would compel them tu pay it over. Justice D’ Wolf spoke briefly in opposition to the allowance of the claims. Justice Méech said if the claims had been audited ‘by the old Board, and there was a record of it on the town books, they should pass upon them. 4 Justice Foote said it that old Board did audit the claims it was not for them to pass on them, Justice Wallace spoke on the subject. and Justice Summerfield said the members of the Board differed as f. the legal status of the mat- ter, and thought it would be better to submit it to competent legal authority, and made a mo- tion that action on the claims be postponed until legal advice had been taken. ‘The question on the motion to allow all the claims was. put, und lost by a vote of 5 to 3— Summerfield, Meech, and Haines voting aye. ‘The claims of Gruenhut, $100, and.

Mayor Heath and Health-Commissioner De Wolf took a jaunt to the Stock-Yards yesterday morning and made acureory inspection of the establishments there and the general sanitary condition of the surroundings. ‘The inspection revealed nothing that calls for any radical inter- ference; in fact, the officials think that that sec- tion of the city is in a-very good condition.

Gilbert suggested the feasibility and the propriety of taking advantage of the chance, and by putting down different kinds of pave- ments to. ascertain what pavement would stand the most wear und prove the most satis- factory. One Alderman suggested the concrete, a sam- ple of whict is laid at the intersection of Wash- ington and Dearborn streets. Auother suggest- ed the round cedar block, and others suggested other varieties. Ald. Ballard spoke in favor of the present style of Nicolson pavement, when it was properly laid, und said that the lack of foundation "for the blocks was the principal cause of the failure of the pave- ments now in use. He would cover the road- bed with hemiock planks three inches thick, and upon that lay the paving blocks, concrete, or whatever night. be used. He was convinced that the sandy soil of this city made such a foundation necessary, and as it was cheap he thought it might well’ be used. ‘The Comauttee decided to further consider the matter, and for that purpose adjourned till next Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock. THE COUNTY BUILDING. The Committees on Roads and Bridges and Edncation were away yesterday. The Committee on Public Buildings ana Sery- ice will report to the Board to-morrow ia fa- yor of paying Harms 314,259.63 on account.

Applications are in order, and the Commissiun- ers are at hume to-day. The jury in the vase of James Gannon, after being out all night, came in yesterday morning, and, not having agreed, was discharged. They stood ten to two for conviction. Ex-Ald. Smith is understood to be one of the two who stood for acquittal. When clerted, Commissioner Lenzen was do- ing a wholesale poisoning business. The pat- ronaze of.the Board has been great ever since, and the Commissioner has found it necessary to go into the retail trade to save a failure. He now deals out the liquid in quantities to suit, and his house 1s headquarters for the thirsty ringsters. At the end of the year his books will make a good showing. CRIMINAL. Edward Fenders, of No. 33 Randolph street. reventiy lost a watch which he values at $250, as it was a gift. -Yesterday he caused the arrest of J. §. Kimberly and Michael Loudergan, whom he suspects uf having stolen it. The police yesterday recovered under a side- walk an empty pocket-book, stolen the day be- fore frum Miss E. J. Conkling, of Oneida, 1. It was satched from her hand near the corner of Randolph and LaSalle streets, but fortunate ly it contained only $4 at the time, Kit Carson, itinerant showman, got on a high old tear yesterday, and, in the course of his travels, broke into two places in Cheyenne, and then hammered his mistress half unto death.

The evidence goes to show that Cunningham spent his time in notous living at vile resorts, and notably at. ascabpy den kept in Hyde Park by the notorious “Shang” Noyes. The more probable story is- that ne iether spent or lost it. Justice D’Wolf, presiding in the absence of Justice Summertield, yesterday held the follow- ing: Joseph Parish, larceny of seal sacques from C. A. Lewis & Co., last: December, con- tinued under same bail to the 22d; William Lawler, Jolm Conrad, and John Hanley, larceny of severai keas of beer from P.

There was a high old sensation down at the Armory last evening, which only the favored fewheard of. A young woman named Christina Degnan, who had been arrested at the Boston store un State street for the larceny of some small articles, upon being released upon ball, accused the lock-up keeper, Mr. George Gub- bins, of having been guilty of the mrossest familiarities with her Abie inthe cell. Mr. Gabuing ‘aeaied ever haying seen or having spoken to the woman, whereupon Christina called uo Oflcer Willlam Mitchell who is a wits ness in the case some way or other. The truth of the affair is probably a happy medium be- tween the two stories, but the Superintendent will have a rich chance to investigate. If Gub- bius is proven guilty, he ought to be discharged, for the police force cannot “afford to have such traitors to the trust reposed iu them on the pay- rolls of the city. ‘The Lincoln Park Commissioners: would not have to go far to witness un exhibition _f cruelty to animals. Fora dumb show, a buffalo bull is contined in a small pen, without shade or shelter of any kind, and the only hberty enjoyed by him js the circle described by 2 heavy log chain, about twelve feet long, one end of which is planted in the ground, and the other attached to a barbarous ring in the poor beast’s nose.

Some weeks ago a miniature Bridgeport made its appearance in the northern part of the village, since which the Villagers, or a portion of them, have been ina state of continual excitement, and their olfactory organs had been put toa severe test. People rush out of the city to breathe the pure air aud ria themselves of the foul smells emanating, or at. icast supposed to emanate, from the slaughter-houses, glue-fac- tories, und fertilizing establishments, only to meet with something here fully their equal, a genuine swill-boiling establishment, where the therefore, be it refuse and offal of the city is taken to be manip- ulated into food for swine. Compiaints were made so urgent that at length the Village Fathers were compelled to take official, as tney already tvken nasal, notice of the matter. ae citizens were as was also Mr. Eckford, the offending ina? vidual.

As a basis for their action, the Villate Mar. shat made a report as to the quality and quan tity of the nuisance in question. the Chair then explained to Mr. Eekford the law, and the village ordinance applicable to the matter, and the power of the Board and the Penalty to which ne vould be subjected if ne persisted in his unlawful course and di ante abate shevnuiance, eel ge at _ He professed tu be satisfied with the tion, and to the surprise of all promised i oad ply With the ordinance and cease bis offensive business.
