This view was, however, combatted by another debater, who held that the beer did not cost over three cents, or two, aceording to the dexterity of the bar-keeper’ who drew it, bence that tie par-keeper’s profit was $9.92 or §9.98. Another member, rising to a point of order, £aid the beer had already been paid for Dy the five ceuts the customer didu't mive, and 50 was no longer a factor in. the calculation. [Applause.] Still another, a German, imbued *with the materialistic spirit so freguently found in people of Lis race, asked whetler it was a schnitt, 2 mug, or a schooner of beer the cus- tower had, and from whose brewery. A young member from Madison street, near Hal- sted, introduced a startling element of rey- owtion into the sssembiy by taking an al- together novel view of the casz.” * Perhaps,” he said, *“he might bave. it the man had ot change {rom bim, bave worked the $10 bill off in chunge upon some customer who was drunk, and then hie would have been ahead just the protit on the beer, 2 or 3 cents, as the case mizot be. Or, it he had worked some bozus bills off on the cus- tomer, which being o stranger he should have done, be would bave been. so much farther ahead, besides the profit on the beer.”’ A point of order was, however. raised to the effect that this wus wandering lrom the suhject, inasmuch as the questicn stated plainly that the saloon-keeper did wot make change, and the Chairman announced that the honora- ble gentleman would have to hane his argu- ment,—its face was n. g. Fiuaily, when the ar- | zumncuts of both partics had been exhausted and innumerable suggestions made. the pro- pounder of the probleti rose and said that none of them were correct.

Judze Drummond was occupied Saturday in hearing a demurrer to the suits azainst the various distillers of this city and thelr bonds- men on their oflicial bonds. The suits were brought to recover the amount of the assess- ments by the Commissioner of lnternal Revenue in 1 The assessments were duly certificd to the Collector, and payment demanded. The defendants—the whisky men—pleaded that they had paid all the taves, and the Government counsel demurred. . The ques- tion was thus' raised of the validity of the assessment, and the Governmenp attorner, Judgze Bangs, urged. that assessment made by the Commissioner of In. ternal Revenue, who bad jurisdiction, was con. clusive on the distillers. ~Their only remedy was to appeal to the Commissioner to have the assessment corrected. They not having appeal- ed, the assessment@iwas conclusive, and nothing remained to be done except to pay up. The de- fendants urged that sucl assessment wus not conclusive, and that even if it was conclusive on the distillers it was not on the bondsmen. Judee Drummond held that the suretics were linble, but on the conclusivencss of the as ment he withheld his decision, and took the case under advisement. A NARROW ESCAPE. Testerday momning, at 43310 o'clock, while the tuz M. Shields was passing down the river, and when opposite Central Slip *A,” Capt. Roach heard the sound of a mau’s voice, crying out, “ Say, come and pull me out!” and immediately checked down and looked about tosee if it was some vessel master who wanted the services of the tus to pull his craf: out of the slip. ‘The cries were again repeated in quick succession, and Capt. Roach steamed up into the slip, and by the aid ot lamplights—it was not vet daylight—saw a man shivering in the Water ~and clinging for dear life to a spile of the dock. With - the aid of themen on the turthe Captain hauled the neariy-exhausted and stupid man on board, and placed lum_down by the furnace to o=t warm and dry. [is teeth chattered and bis limbs shook like an autumn leaf inthe wind. As soon as he was warined up, he stated that he had been drinking freely !gv night before and became intoxicated and wandered off—be knew ot where—until he found himself floundering in the slip at the spot. where he was discovered, He had attempted to find some place where he could climb out of the water on to the dock, but after swimming about for a while be got. exhausted, and clune to 2 spile to await assistance. He thought be had been in the water fully two Lours. He was a very re- epectably-dressed, middie-azed person, and had a piece of a watch-chain daneling to his vest. He stated that he had Lad o watch anda fon dollars iu money, but he failed S llar b ed to find either on examining Lis pockets. This looked as if he had been robbed and pushed into the stip. He did not give his pame, but sald be beld & responsi- ble position {n a large establishment in the civy. After _getting” his clothes thoroughly dried Capt. Roach sent him ashore. NOTEL ARRIVALS.

APPOINTING APPRAISELS. The petition of Dr. Turpin, Receiver of the Fidelity Savings Bank, to bave three experts ap- pointed to appraise the value of the bank’s real estatewas again up before Judge Moore yester- day morning, the Receiver being represented by his counsel, Mr. Dupee, the bank officers by M. Jewett, and certain of the depositors by Mr. Gregory. Mr. Dupee opened the proceedings by again urging upon the Court the reasonableness of the petition, and ¢xpressing the hope that the Court would grant the prayer. Mr. Grevory urged the same objections to the petition that he brought forward last week. Mr. Jewett objected to the appraisement on the ground that it was unnceessars, and a bur- denon the estate. The cost of the valuation, ieved, would not be far from $25,000, and made what Lad the Receiver got? able, nothing that would fix the ty for the purposes of con- version. iver wanted consultation, or advice, so that the expense would come within few hundred doll: he should not have the elightest objection to allowing him that pri The bank ollicers protested a minute inv ation of the nature of curities by means of an expensive ap- pra T the nt. ¢ Court called the attorneys’ attention to fact that specalators were buying up the sitors’ bouks, and asked if it would not be irable to 2et at something like reliable in- iformation in regard to the value of the assets, uding the real estate securities, in order that Gepositors might be put on their guard against disposing of their books. . Alr. Jewett said be thought that would be accomplished ;ust as well by the method he suwgested. If the Receiver obtained the services of three real-estate men, he would be in danwrer of having one or two of them of the vision: enthusiastic sort, while the other man wmight be one of the careful ones who cut values down to the lowest notch. Altogether, he thougzht the Receiver could gain as much by meuns of cousultation, und at much less ex- pei stead of employing men to do the whole work of apprai themselves. MR, DUPEE WAS WILLING to limit the expeunse to $2,500. and remarked that it was far preferable for the Receiver to do the appraising than to_have one, or a dozen, or fifty of the depositors do it on their own hook. The Court did not think the expense should amouunt to more than $500. B Mr. Jewett voincided withthe Court. Mr. Grezory was in favor of a voluntary com- mittre picked out of the depositors, who ‘would ed iu the appraisement, and who erefore do the work for nothing. e ne that the expense ited to $500, but be bad no infor- mation to warrant him in believing a voluntary committee woul me the work. The Court asked if it was nct possible for the Receiver to return his information to tie Court in such a way that the sneewlators could not profit by it, and that the depositors would be protected.” If the information were spread on the records it would be very much to the ad- vantage of sharpers anxious to pick up bargaivs in real estate. Mr. Dupechad no objection to striking out the clause in the order requiring the Receiver Lo report to the Court at once, leaving it to the ction of the Court when be should return eport. The Court said his idea was that the deposit- ors could go to the Receiver and obtain information as to the actual value of the assets. The Court could not be blinded to the fact that there were sharpers who were tryine to get these depositors’ books. It was not the policy of the Court to have the valuation made s0 higih that the depositors would be deceived hereafter. He desired to avoid cither extreme, 5o the depositors might get at the actual value of the asscts. A8 to ihe expense, that could be cutdown even lower by summoning three gentlemen as [Laughter.]. er was so amended as to grant the prayer and authorize the Receiver to employ oue or more suitable persons, skilled tn the value of real estate and other property, toap- praise any and all of the real estate and other property in the Receiver's haunds, and to pay such persons a reasonahle compensation, and report their names to the Court, the expense not to exceed $300. The order was satistactory to ail the parties in interes B Mr. Jewett said that certain creditors had already instituted suits azainst some of the stockholders, ote of the latter class, who had the misfortune to own only 2,500 of the stock, having been made a defendant in some fiftecn suits. 1t seemed to him that it miht be possi- Dble for a bill to be filed by the Receiver azainst all these stockholders, so that the asscts result- ing from that liability might be an asset in the bands of the Gourt, 1o be administered to all the depositors alike, instead of being doled out to the different depositors us they mizhit get priorities by suit in judgment. Mr. Dugpee said he liad prepared suchi a bill, and would file it during the dav. Some of the beavy depositors in _the Fidelity ided Friday to call a meeting in Farwell Hall Monday nigit for the purpose of taking up that reorganization scheme, but, owing to internal dissensions, the meeting has been given up. TIE STATE, Jobn M. Whitman fil-d an ‘intervening peti- tion yesterday in the State Savings Bank case, setting forth that in August last he had $1,006.28 in the bank; that his cashier, Isaac G. Ogden, owed the bank $600 ou « note, and _de- posited 10 shares of the Chicago & Pacific Ele- vator Company as collateral security. Before the note fell due, Orden, with Whitman's con- sent, made an awreement with D, D. Spencer, the President, that if the note was not renewed when it fell due A it should be paid out. of the amount to Whitman's credit. When the note fell due, however, it was not re- newed, and Whitman was out of town and did not return until_after the bank failed. Had he been in the city, Whitman says he would Dave drawn a ehecl for 3600 against his account, and paid Ogden’s note. He therefore as| that the agreement made with - Spencer be car- ried out, and that the debt of Ogden might be set off acainst SG00 of his (Whitman's) ac- count. Judee Williams, Biowever, refused to allow the compromise to be made. TOE DISTRICT TELEGRAPH. A NEW SIGNAL INSTRUMENT. The American District Telezrapn Company, an fustitution which is always on the look-out to do .what it can for the comfort aund con- venience of its patrons, is now introducing a new signal instrument, a most ingenious con- trivance, and of special value on aceount of the larze number of ealls which can be given by it without any possible chance of mistake on the vart of the sender. On the face of the dial is a vpointer, which is first set for any of the eleven calls, they being indicated on the edge of the dial, and, that being done, all that remains is to give the sig- nal. These calls are for messenzer, carriage, coupe, express wazon, doctor, labor, fire, police, and three yacant places, which can be used 1or any special siguals that may be agreed upon be- tween the sender and the Company. The labor sigual requires a little explanation. The Com- paoy has made arrangements with the employ- ment burean of the Y. M. C. A., and, if a per- sonwho has an instrument wants Somebody to put in a ton of conl, or earry arcel, or run an errand of any a p kind, all that be has to do is to send in that particuter éall, and 2 competent and trust- worthy man is speedilvy at his door. The ex- press branch of the business is increasing in value daily. The charges are 24 cents wEhln the city, and the service’ exceedinzly prompt. T'nis new instrument Las also sn arrangement by which an_answer back can_be received, so that the sender can at once satisfly bimself that the signal has been received at the Company’s oftice. The Company is also making an arrange ment by which bank-vaults and the vuults of jewelry and other establishments can be ubso- lutely guarded. A connection can be made by wire with their centryl oflice, so that, in case of any attempt on the partof 8 burglar to coter the premises, an immediate alarm {s seot, and an officer at’ once dispatched to the scenc of action. Any interfereace with the wire, by cut- ting or otherwise, sends tne signal, and results in the probable arrest of the burglar. NOT FOR CHICAGO. THE CICERO SCHOOL FUND REMAINS TO CICERO. Judge Williams yesterday morning decided the case of the Uity of Chicago vs. the Trustees of Township 89, 13, involving the question as to whether the city was entitled to aoy of the Cieero school fund, given it under tne general State law. In 1869 the city extended its limits 50 85 to take in cleven scctions of the Township of Cicero, and established city schools within such boundaries. The School Trustees have since been dividing up the income from the school-fund among the remaining school-dis- tricts of the township, thus giving them each o share nearly twice as large as Dbefore 1860. This seemed rather, incquitable, and_ the city accordingly about two weeks ago filed a bill to prevent the School Trustees from distributing the tunds among the outlying school districts alone, and to_compel them to pay it its share of the income. The motion for in- unction wus made a few days azo and decided Saturdav. The Judge said that beyond a question the Legislature had control of the School Fund, and they had seen fit to place the mabagement of it in the hands of the Trustees of schools in the various townships. ~When the Lerislature of 1560 cxtended ~the city limits over a portion of the School Town- ship 89, 13, it evidently by implication toolk by implication too! v all authority of the School Trustees over the territory which was mecluded in the city limits. The Trustees lost jurisdiction for every purpose over such portion under the terms of the law, and also lost all Jurisdiction over this part when it was set off to the city. They could not be comvelled to give a part of theé mouney into the hands of the City of Chicago, especinlly where the City of Chicago could not use it sotely for the persous g residing in that territory, but must use it and divert it from the speial to which it ought u to be dc\'ol‘é-l‘.’p The city could not wmaintain a bill, beeause if it got the money it must neees- sarily divert it from the special purpose for vhich It was miven as_expressed by the Lewis- lature, and that would be suflicient objeetion to granting the relief asked. But, even il under the peculiar circumstances of the case an injunction ought to issue, there was another objection that the question was_pending in the Supreme Court in another and similar ¢ The present case ought therefore to be res al hearing and decision by the preme Court. That would be had soon, and in the meantime a temporary injunction would be denicd. . T'his same question was raised in a petition for mandamus about two years ago by the School Board of the city tocompel the Trustecs of Cicero to pay over the proportion due the city of the Cicero Schiool Fund. Judge Gary ihen held, asJuwize Witlinms has done now, that there was no provision of law for any such division,and d nied the relief asked. The only remedy, unless the Supreme Court intervenes Dy 2 contrary de- cision, is in the Legislature. Certainly the law as it i6 works a hardship to the city. THE BAR ASSOCIATION. A SALUTARY REBUKE TO UPSTARTS. The Chicago Bur Association held its regular monthly meeting in its room in the Farweil Hall block yesterday afternoon. Jobn A. Jewett, the President, occupied the Chair, and F. Ullmann acted as Secretary®” About twenty- five members were present. The Treasurer presented Lis report, showing a balance of §954.47 in his hands. The docu- ment was accepted. Messrs. C. H. Willett, Alfred B. Mason, and Henry Strong were clected wmembers of the Association. Adolph Moses, Esq., was added to the Com- mittee appointed to attend to the case of Payne Fitz before the Supreme Court. ‘The Committee on Inquiry reported that they had discovered that 3 number of persons were practicing law in this city without being enrolled amonast the attorneys and counselors-at-law on the records of the Supreme Court of Illinois, and they had accordingly notified such persond in an advertisement. The Committee also reported that E. B. Mec- Clangban had applied for admission to practice law at the present term of the Supreme Court on a toreign license upou a certificate of moral charaeter “granted by the Cook County Court upon motion of W. W. O'Brien. Esq. Under a resolution of the Associatiou, the Committee have filed sugzestions in opposition t&the ad- mission of Mr. McClanahan to the practice of law Ly the Supreme Court. The Committee had also learned that George M. Miller, a tormer Captain of Police, had made an application to the Supreme Court for his admission to the Bar, on the strength of a license issued to him by the District Court of Hamilton County, Ohio, at its June terin, in 1850. The appheation was made in behall of Miller by Samuel Adler. who but a short time previously haa himself been admitted on a foreign license. An investigation showed that the pretended license from the Ohio Court was a forgery. The Committee had, therefore, made a motion before the Supreme Conrt to set aside the liceuse eranted to Adler, and for Miller and all others connected with the matter to show cause why they should not be puwmshed for con- tempt. Thy report was accepted. J. J. Kuickerboclker presented a resolution in- structing the Committee of Inquiry toprosecute ol} persons violating the laws of ‘the” State by publications. in auy of the Chicago newspapers, concerning divorces. Adopted. After some discussion regarding the rental of the hail to other organizations, the Association adjourned. PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY. A TALK ABOUT AMERICAN PHILOSOPHERS. The initial meeting of the Philosopnical So- ciety for the scason-of 1S77-'7S was held last evening in the hall of the Society at No. 103 State street. There was a fair audience, about one-balf beinz Jadies. The President, Gen. N. 8. Buford, presided, and read an claborate pa- peron “American Philosophy.” Gen. Buford sclected Benjamin Franklin' as the first representative American philosopher. Much bhad been said and written in relation to the religions belief of this great man, but testimony which caunot be gainsaid existed that he always believed in 2 Supreme intr who had created the world, and in the im- mortality of the soul. The speaker referred to Franklin’s greav services as 2 natural philoso- vher and his discovery of electricity. He was the first speculative” philosopher ~ native to America. His Fulizicnl career, and the great work which he did_for freedom, were touched In these days, when -acall goes up on every side for paternal government, it is well to recollect that Franklin foresaw the dan- mer that was likely to acerue from 100 much government. As member of | the Continental Congress and of the Committes which framed the Declaration of Independence, and as Minister to France, his wisdom, modera- tion, and forcthought were alike shown. He won_ thie respect of tne proudest aud most highly cultivated nation in Europe, and negoti- ated treaties with the Goverzment of France, the provisions of which proved ereatly advan- tageous to the infaut Republic which™ he had done so much to bring into being, Gen. Buford directed attention also to thelife of Junathan Edwards, the President of Prince- ton College. Wilijam Eilery Channing, Marza- ret Fuller, Tueodore Parker, Ralph Waldo Em- erson, aud the transcendentalists generaliy, were spoken of very briefly. The Jearning suown by Dr. William T.” Harris in his philosophical works wgs approved, and o study ot is writings commended. A geueral discussion of the sub- ject followed. The Socit proposes to give lectures “every Saturday during the season, and has approximately fixed speakers aud dates for the first twelve. THE CITY-HALL. ‘The amount of the police pay-roll for Septem- ber is $35,829, The receipts of the License Department yes- terday were about $300. Comptroller Farwell yesterday issued revenue warrants amounting to §1,300, and redecmed popular-loan certificates amounting to $20,800. The Treasurer received §150,000 from County- Treasurer Huck yesterday. The minor receipts were 8678 from the City Collector, $1,406 from the Water Dey d Compiaine, partment, aod $3,451 from the Durizg the past week the Department of Buildings hes tssued fifty-tno permita for build- | Ward, attempting were for perimanent buildings whose aggregate estimated cost was $72,500. The school teachers were paid their Septem- ber salaries yesterdav. The umouunt of the roll was ahout $13,000. The Comptroller also paid out $140,000 upon_reveuue warrants or ce cates held in Now York, to which eity the mouey was sent. Another case_of small-pox was _discovered yesterday, This time it was at No. 143 Schiller street, a place where the discase bas not here- tofore this year made its appearance. There were six new _cases of scarlet-fever reported vestorduy. The deatps last week from that disease were ouly five in number, and the gen- eral mortality was about the same as o the preceding weel The Sub-Committec of the Committec on Streets and Alleys of the Three Divisions met yesterday and considered the matter of founda- tions for pavements. Their work is one of in- vestigation and will occupy their attention for some time to come. The report which they will make will contain their decision upon the ques- tion of pavements fu respect to_durability, ap- ‘pearance, and general exeellences The bids which were opened Friday by the Department of Public Works prove conclusively that it is to the interest of property-owners to have their paving worl done by the of by private contract. The vost per for curbing and paving.u G6-foot strect, based on the bids aforesaid, was about $2.25, which price is about $1 per foot less than the averaze brice asked for work done by private contract. The Building Committee and the yor met yesterday and sizned -the contract awarded to Mortimer & Tupper for the sub-basement of The contracting firm have filed bond, which has been approved, and , which will be begun to-niorrow morn- ing, will "be pushed rapidly. The city oflicials are very well satisfied with the price of the con- tract, which they think as low as any responsi- ble firm would accept for the work. The Judiciary Committee met in the City Clerk’s oflice vesterday to consider the matter of appropriatious for rent of armories ior the First aud Second Regiments. There were present with the Committee Corporation-Coun- sel Bonfield, the Hon. Thomas Hovne, W. J. Onahauy, and Col. Quirk. These latter gentle- men were present to urge the paying to the regiments the amounts of money appropriated by the Coun It seem that the regiments’ d anories without consulting s, and expect the eity to pay over the money. As 1o appropriation could legally have been made direct to the rewinents, a subterfuge was zotien up and the money was get aside for the rent of halls for pohce drill, and, no Dballs have been hired for that purpose, of course nothing can be expend- ed on that acconnt. Such was Mr. Bou- ficll’s opinion, and the Cowmmittee will undoubtedly base their_recommendation there- on. e gJs0 opined in favor of payin the regi- meunts for th vi in the rivts, on the ground that they were sworn inus special police and not as militia. The Committee will proba- bly follow that recommendation. TOE COUNTY BUILDING. Several committees wire In session yester- day and audited minor bills. The County Clerk-oceupied Klare’s Hall again yesterday. About sixty men are there em- ployed, and evory one of them is expected to turn upus a delezate in the Democratic Con- vention. At least they have been selected for that purpose. The county contractors are beginning to com- it about the expense of defending nd Carroll. They acreed to shoul-. s as a slizht appreciation of the hown thems, but, since the tigures over- reached their expectations, they are grumbling. Rebellion seems to be the inevitable result. The brick and mortar being used in the Court-House is still the most preminent swin- dle of the . Ewan continues to be blinded to the steal being perpecrated, and to rtlf' upon the Superintendeat of the work for the di covery of all the wrongs. As long as he £o re- lies, 5o long will the swindle be'perpetrated, and 50 lonyg will the * Ring ”? continue to fatten on the steal. s a0, Gen. Lich, County Clerk, de- taited some of his employes to make for hin some campaign documents. They went to work promptly and have worked dili- sently, the county vaying them therefor, and the result was scen yesterday i -meting in the Connty Court. room meeting was composed solely of Liel’s em- and, in order that they might all attend, work in the office was suspeniled an hour carlicr al. The most of thew were there.—or vere not out in the wards at work for and they were entertained by Licb with a inaudlin address. in which he re- lated what his “ experts ” had found to have been the exnenses of his oftice in 187, as com- pared with the expenses of 1873, under Pollock. hose who bave heard the General speak to an ordinary audience, bolstering up himself, can form bt a poor idea of the picture he painted, for, however fallacious his fucts may bave been, it would have cost any oue of his bearers St a day to have disputed anything he sid on this occasion. He did not deny that he wanted to be re-clected, nor yet that it would be_impossible to find any one who could fill the oflice as be bad, aud the ccho in the audience was a breathless si On the whole, his speech was brill somenow his hearers could see nothing in it but the possibility of continued cmrFlo_vmcm it they succecded in re-clecting him. They did not ap- plaud, simply s¢ the hole proceeding them as ridiculons and farcical in the ex- tyenze, mid, further, teeause they lad been co- crced into hearing what he bad to say. The hour's time iven them was not enough to make thiem jubilant, for with the giit came the oun- ishment of listening to a wiandy harancue entirely devoid of interest, and os diszustine and inappropriate as it was Th listened, therefore, with about the sume pl ure as the slave used to experience when tied up by the thumbs to take his whipping, except that thev coulid not understand what they were beine whipped for. The meeting was di: 1t able to all concerned, and, when the General i forgotten, those who attended it will audibly smile as they reflect upon the ways and means of the modern demuzosce Richard Schell, Barney Riley, and Truman Robinson are said to have held up an unknown man on “Biler” avenue yesterday and robbed bim of §17. G.S. Hartman is also arrested, charged with getting away with the plunder, and disposing of them in the West Division. D. Livingston was before Commissioner Hoyne vesterday, charged with committing perju swearing falsely to his vetition for discharee trom bankraptey. e was held in 2,000 bail, which he furnished. J. Iloster was held in $1,000 bail for carrying on the business of com- pounder of liquors without paying the speciat tax. Valentine Jaeger, whose arrest was mention- ed in yesterday’s TRIBUNE, was held in $1,000 bonds to the Criminal Court by Justice Morri- son. While in court he was confronted with wife No, 1, who had with hera certificate of fase in New York City in 1871, and with fe No. 2, who was married to him in this city a few days ago. Upon information reccived by Capt. Simon O’Donncll, he ytsterday arrested Isaac Mever, of No. 405 Ciark street, and Lizzie Meyer, his colored wil Both have been knownas zo- betweens for thieves for some time. Wien scarched $410 was found in their possession, all 0. which was at_once identified by Frank Dahl- «uist as a part of the $1,360 stolen from him by Tiny Davenport. DeWitt C. Freeman, charged with the larceny of some £100 worth of gas certificates from Ernest dolin_Witheford and mother, was oa trial before Just Morrison last night. The suit appears to be one that secks to reeover the pronerty by prosesuting the possessor criminal- Iy rather than incur the expense of a replevin from the Criminal Court. A vast number of witnesses were heard, and the case continued. Minor arrests: William Lodge, one of the rouzhswho knocked Thomas Ford senscluss with a slung-siot on the corner of Maxwell and Twelfth streets some five days ago; James to tap the till of D. n’s saloot, No. 104 Blue Island avenues k Wilson and James Conklin, sneaking “wipes” on State strect; John Nep- pen, larceny @f a basket of peaches from Fish & Breuner, of No. 185 South Water; Abraham Meyer, having in his pussessiDq&Bru; scls_carpet, lead-pipe. and other goods, for svhich be could not satisfactorily account. Tne “kid " nuisance has become such an un- mitigated nuisance :hat the authoritics have concluded to license all newsbogs and HoOL- blacks, and then drive from the street allothers. In this way they hope to regulate the nuisance. Supt. Hickey thinks the sncaking of some valu Jess papers from the Chicago Savines Bank Fri- day afternoon was done by “ kids,” who did not know cno to pick out their plunder, and every day pickpockets plv their profession on the crowded streets under the zuise of news- boys. Ald. Daly will iniroduce an ordinance onthe subject at to-morrow's scssion of the Couneil. It s designed to make the fec larze enough to pay for a badge, and no higher. THE COUNTY RING. Yesterday's Proceedings in the Trial of the Indicted Com-~ missioners. Further Investigation of the Entries in the Books of Forsythe & Co. Counsel Making a Sharp Fight Over the Introduction of Tes- timony. The morning session only of the Criminal Court was given up to the trial of the indicted members of the Couunty Ring, it being neces- sary to let the case go over on account of the necessity for arraigning prisoners. ‘The examination of Forsythe & Co.’s books with special reference to the grocery-aceount of ex-Commissioner A, B. Johnson was resumed. Jerame G. Beardsley was recalled, and identi- fied as books of original entry the city order- books of Forsythe & Co., and the entrics in them of the goods got by Jolnson. The cutrics were made by Carpenter, Perolat,, Christopl, and Ebling. Periolat was in the halnt of making entries in those books. Some of the credit entries in the proiit and loss ac- count in the ledeger were made from tle journal and others from the cash-book. Mr. Storrs calied on Mr. Forsythe for the journal. Mr. Forsythe said he didn’t know where it was. e, however, was told to go and hunt it up, and he left the Court to do so. Wituess continued: Was with the fizm in all nearly ten years. Knew of a club-room on Dearborn street where Periolat met his friends. Saw McCaflrey there in December, 1574, he thought. Periolat was there. Witness went there with $500. It was in an envelope in his pocket. Tie envelope was_addressed, he thoueht, to John McCaflrey. ITe addressed it. Periolat seid, ** Have you got that?’ McCaflrey was present. Witness said “Yes.” Periolat motioned bim into another room, and he handed him the package. Periolat then went back to the first room, and witness left. McCaflrey wus in the room when Periolat went back. That money was cutered in the cash-book. Witness made the entry hitaself. Ie found the entry in the cash-book. it was made Jun. 80, 1873, and read, “ McCaffrey, $200.” He was mis- taken avout the amount. The entry was made the sume day he gave Periolat the money. Wit~ ness seldom sent any articles from the store to the Poor-House, and never compared the bills with the qua of gouds sent. Had talked with Carpenter about 2 memorandum be kept of ihe goods sent, but not previous to his being indicted. ON CROSS-EXAMINATION Mr. Smith drew out that several people, not srrocers, got goods from vthe & Co. Wasa general understanding that articles were not to be sold to privat: parties cxcept they atives or friends of the firm. Q—What do you nean by fricnds? A.—Inti- mate friends. [Smiles.] Saw Johmson in the store twice; 0 about the time the Grand Jurs was muking their investization. Taat was in May, 1874, he thought. fow montus before. The sccond titue he wanted adupheate bill. He was shown theitems on the order-bouk, and was given 2 statement of account. Witness had seen McCalfrey in For- sythe's store. He thoughit it was in December, 157. Wounld not swear positively that the en- velope was addressed to VcCaffrey. It was to the best of his recollection. McCaffrey never saw the envelope, to my knowlede ‘The attention of the witness was called to his testimony before the -Grand Jury. where, ac- cording to tihe short-hand writer's notes, he swore that Clem asked him if he bad > that,” after he went iuto the second room. ITis red Iection was that Perlolasasked him the question first in the outer room, and again in the inner room. . Ite-direct: Other Commissioners besides John- gon deait with the tirm. Johnson did not see the ledwer, buz he was handed a transcript from the ledger—a statement ot account, showing credits and debits. No money had been paid by him. By Mr. Smith—Did vou collect all thie money? t all came to me, and I paid it out. By Mr. Storrs—What booiks were the credit entrics taken from? Objected to, Mr. Smith claiming that Joanson could noc be prejudiced by any acts of Forsythe & Co. unless they were brought home to his knowledge. ‘The Court overruled the objection, since the question was preliminary. ‘Witness said the entries were taken from tne cash-book and the journal. Mr. Smith wished to tind out what Johnson said when be called for the bill. Mr. Storrs objected because the defense bad brougit out the testimony atout the duplicate and the transeript. The Court admitted the testimony. Witness said Johnsun stated that he had paid some of ills, and exhibited Perivlat’s receipt. He said be dide’t owe the firm anything—that he understood they had been before the Grand Jury_and testified that he got groceries and hadn’s paid for them. It secmed stranse to witness thut Johnson should have Periolat's receipts, since he was not in the habit of making receipts. This was in reply to u question of Mr. Storrs a3 to whether the’ receipts were old or new. ‘W. H. CHRISTOPH, Forsythe’s bilt clerk, was called, and_ testificd that e made out a duplicate ill of Johnsows ceonnt, but didu’t recollect what he did with ¢f ilL Beardsley or Periolat dire:ied him to make t out. ieorze Ebling, a clerk, was wext sworn, and recognized his cutries’of Johnson’s account in the city order-book. ‘Che goods were checked as delivered. Q.—Were they delivered? Objected to; ob- Jection overruled. Wit uld not state whether the goods were delivered. The Court tnen adjourned until 3londay morning. MARINE NEWS. PORT COLEORN Brrrato, Oct.
