TII CIICAGO TRIBUNE MONDAY. OCTOBER 2°, 1877. THE COUR Jefferson Worsted in Its Encounter with the Boheminn Cemetery. Litigation Over the Telegraph Wires on the Danvilie Ratirond. New Huits, Confessions, Bankruptoies, Divorces, Etc. About two months ago the Village of Jeffer” gon filed u ill to preventthe Bohemian National Cemetery Association from laylng out a cemetery within the villare 1imits, charging that {he mannet in sthich the Boliemians buried their dead anil controjled their cemeteries made them s nolsanee, and also clatfiing the Association hadnever had Aty license given It to lay ont o cemetery Within the town limits, as provided jn the town ordinances. It neverthe. Jess procceded to buy n forty-ero fract ghont @ mfle. from the village forthe purposes of a cemetery. The cstablish- ment of such an’ institution as this, the village sathorltics contended, would greatly depreclate perty tn the nelghborhood, lujure the health of the nelghbors, and prove of great Injury to the villagers. An injunction - wan therefore wked to prevent the proposed location of the cemetery near the villaze. The defendante fied an answer deoving afl the material charges of the bil}, contending that they had obtaied the assent of thirty-cizht out of ffiy-six projerty-owners within a wmile of the cemetery: that thelr customsa are like those of all other drillzed comnunities, and not tikely to create s nusanve or cange trouble; and asking to have the b1l dismiissed. The motion for injnuction wns argued some {tme ago, and Saturday Judge Wilhams deliy- cred hie deetsion, He'raid n cemetery was not nfsance in jteclf, and whether one was a noj- gance or fwot depeniled on clrcumstances, The Village of JefTerson Included nearly a township of luinl, paet sparsely populated,” a0 that not every vemetery cottld” nossibly be a nufsance, Thai point had been deckled” by the Supreme court. In order to give the declaration of the Board of Trustees of the village any force ft st colnckde with the facts, The sinple state- ment that anv cemetery established contrary to {he ordinance was o nuitance did not make It 0. Atrial at law would have to be had to cs- tablish tho fact, The vorporate authoritlos might remove an existing cemetery or prevent the establishment ol one within certain parts of Lhelr territory. Bat the by-laws In attempting to prevent the establishment of any cemetery anywhere with- fnthe torporate Hmita werd unreasonable fn excduding from the limits of the village, cven from its sparsely populated districts, all c feries n declaring all cemeteries eatablished without consent nulsances,and In making it {lligal even for a resident 10 bury his own dead within it, If JeMerson could pass sach a law, Srery other town could, ‘and Chieago might pave to £o to other counties for buriul-places, The injunction asked was therefore refused. YEECHICACO & EASTERN ILLINOIS RAILROAD COMPANT, ‘The Western Union Telegraoh Company filed a bill 8aturdav in the United Siates Court agalnst the Chicago & Eastern Iltinots Railroad Company to enfurce a coutract made In March, 180, with the Chicago, Danville & Vincennes Ballroad Company. By this sgreement com- plafnant was to firnish poles, wires, ond other materials for o Mue aloni the road of the Chi- «ago, Danville & Vincennes Company, snd to have exclusiye right of way on suchroad. It wastosendallmessages of the Company free, and the Ralirond Company fu turn was to keep the Yine In repalr, send'all measages of the Tele- graph Campany along the lines, and vollect and ay over the chiarges received for the same, hls arrangement continued until May last, when Huldckoper Sbannon and Dennison lought the road at a foreclosure fn behalf of the bondbolders. Siuce then they have dls- daimed belng bound bysuch contract, and have taken possession of the Lelegraph line, discon- pected it at Dolton, and used it as thelr own, In August last they s21d out to the Chienyo & Enstern _Illinols Raltroad Company, and this latter corporation s also refused to be Lound by 1he contract of 1870, Complainant avers that the purchasers at the forcelosure sale were tound 10 carry out the terms of tho contract of 150, and that thelr nsslgus arc also under the, rame limitatiorrs, It Is therefore asked thut this contract may be enforeed and thedefendant rutrained from violating it. A PIOFTABLE NUSINESS. Last Friday, J. I, Kullofl the Actuary, filed s petition In the Kepublic Life-Insurauce Com- Eny cases, etting out that he had been employed cumpute the net value on the 3,500 polivies ofthe Company.

Jndge Willlams thought this was rather a gelt-edged price, and referred tho petition to the Master, ellomir then went before the Master, and of sourzs put the sume eetlmute on his scrvices as Mated in his petitlun, E. W, Peet testifled that the work was worth $1 for each computation, The Master in' Chancery, Walter Butler, ro- ported fu favor of sllowlne Mr. Kellopg the Twole 3,500, and armied with this report Mr, Bellogr appeared before the Judge Saturday norning and asked to huve lis clalm allowed, The Judee, lowever, satd hie was not satistled Jet; the pay seemed very lurge for three monthe? work, and “he would hot upprove tie report Row, wud the matter was postponed indefinitely, TUE APIRLLATE COURT met for a short thune Baturday morning, and male orders In two cases.

Entertalnmont of the Librarians by the Lard Mayor of London, Landon 1imes, Oct. 5 The ltbrarians, who have come together from all parts of the Old and New Worlds, meet {u conference fur the Jast timo to-day. During the whole of the present week they have been hard at work upon the bueiness which has brought them to London. They have been reading or lstening to papers on the dutles of their important office, comparing notes of their several experlences, giving and recelving hints oo the entire range of subjects with which they have to do, or propoundjug new schemes for satisfying tho demnnds which the read- Ing publie makes uwpon them. Much of what they have been dolng might, perhiaps, have beon dono as well with- out any formal canfercnce. The great advan- tage of the method of procceding they havo chiosen ls, that it puts the wholo world in posscs- slonof the case thus far. We have now learned, better than before, what thechief lbraries of the world are, aod what, {n theopinlon of thejr hesds, thoy ought tobe. Weaee something of thediflculties with which librarfans have tocon- tend, und can do more Justice to the encrzy by which they have been met and surmounted, Wo are Infornied, two. whut we have anght to ex- peet In our public lbraries, and in what way the defects of some of them may be cured.” As- slstance has thus been given to the formatlon of a sound body of general public opinion, which will bo of yalue horeafter, and not least to the teachiers themscives who have created ft. It will not make ua less exacting, but {t will show us better what we have aright to exact, and how large & debt of gratitude we owe for what has been already done for us, Last evening” the Lord Mayor (Sir Thomas White) entertained the members of the confer- ence at a banquet In the Egyptian Hall of the Mansion House. After grave the Lord Mavor drank to hls gueats in alovingcup, which passed round the board. The usual lu{ml toasts were then duly bonored. The Lord Mayor, in pro- vosing the tuast of the evenlng, sald that he was honored by the presence of many distin- guished librarlaus of this and other nattons. Ile would oot eall thein foreiencrs, sceing among them so many of our Ameriean vousins, [Ap- pluuse.| They bad trayeled so far to render this conpreas ‘thoroughly representutive and in- ternatonals aud hoe dealred, as the Lord Mayor af Lundon, to wish them every happiness dur- ing thelr stay here. Ile would mnot de- faln them long, for he was anxious, like the rest, to listen to the distinguished men who liad ‘honored him by thelr presence. There was auother circumstance which did not detract from the pleasure of the occaslon. Ile was honored Dy the presence of the Chajrmun and thirty nicmbers (the ladics not excepted) of the London School Boanl, ““They tind readers,” bis Lordshlp continued, “and vou find the books.” [Applause.] The Lord Mayor concluded by offering o most sin- cere_aml bearty welcoie to the memnbers of the Board, as well as to the membersol the conference, to his French, Belgian, Itallan, Gerinan, Austrian, Greek, and Danidh gucsta, and Just, but not leqst, the Amerfean and Co- Tontal visttors, Wich the continental Hbrarlans hie would couple the workl-renowuned namne of M, Delisle, of the Natfonal Library of France, anit with the Amerlcan that of Praf. Winsor, o Harvard University. . Leonald Delisle responded in French, and toltowed by Mr. Justin. Winsor, who sald: o American lbrartuns como fnto this presence, {uto London, uto England, with gratitude for the conrtesy they have rectlveds with reverence fur your past, which is our past; and with docllity, for wo hupe we ars teachable. It |8 not In our present llbrary puasessions, but it 1s the potentiality of the future, that gives us courage. In the midst of the British Muscum wo are dwarfed and humbled, and It is well that wa shauld be. It 1s an important problem that we American lbrarlaus are trying 'to solve,— no dess than the educational problem, Wo be- lieve tho library is more potent thau the unl- versity; we helieve the final education {s that of books,—lere {s our true unlversity, We are sharers with you of the old Nuxon aduge, *Where there §s a will there is o way.’ 1 thauk Uol we have the will, we pray for the way, We hava the shoulder to put to the wheel, sod_we trust the future will opun the way.

We claim alson right tothat other of yourold mdages, ‘Take thy will for the deed.’” Our accomplisnments are rather {n our eudeavors; we urge them with enthusfasin, and It we bave as yet failed of any rrundeur wo look conlldently to the thne when wo can welcome Diritons to llbrarles coextens sive with our country,” 'he Lord Mayor proposed a toast in honor of American talent, coupled with the name of Mr. W. F. Poole, of Chicago, the fudex-inaker to periodical Hiteraturs. Mr, Poole satd the Amer- eans took it asan espectal compllment that they desired to hear a sceond speaker from that country. Itwasa I-.\r*u country, and he lived 1,000 mfles west of Mr. Winsor, and there wers otbers 2, miles ~ west of him, ana doubtless they desired to form an approximation to the opinion of the Pacific.

Cravratoy, 1L, Octe @.—0ue of the most serlous faults that afilict mankind, and especial- Iy fariners, is the careless habit of wakting time in dolng little things, where a littla caleu- Jation would save so much. [t is often more profitable for a mechanic to sit down and etudy {he manner in which & tachine fs put together, helore he atteinpts to tako it (o pleces in order o repalr sume of [ta parls, than (t would be for bim o go at It wrenchin hand, and remove every nut and fooeen every bult before hie zot to the right one. His emplover might suppose, if e et the man standing Idle, that it was from a desfre to shirk work, and demand that he st once begin to take Lo pleces, but It might not be econoimy; yet there are cmplovers who are sat- {aficd I their emuloyes keep moving, no mat. ter whether they work to the best advantage or vut. g TUR TIMB LOST - in going back to the house from distant parts of the (3rm tor tools forgotten amounts to o great many days fn the course ofa year.” There are veey few farmers who have uot. been an- gry, on arrlving fu the fleld, to discover that a wrench has been left at home, or-a clevis lost; yet, if they lad first taken a tnoment's time to think of what was required, aod then had louked o see if It was In the wagon, they woulidl Dave thousht it time misspent. The time spent in golng and comluz from one Job to snuther aleo juvolves a serious loas of thne. Diceing natatoes for famtiy-uss olten consumes a great deal more tlme than is necessary, We can call to miml whole neighborhuods where, every morning regularly, after new potatocs are laige enouh to use, until the crop has been harvest- ed, u boy or man is sent to dig & few hifls, The thne spent in Foiuz and coming is often more than thnt required for digging the tubers, It it takes ten nfuutes i go and come, and the operation Is repeated seven times n week, there are seventy miautes consumed in travel. Once going with a bushel-basket might bave provided a whote week'’s supply, and one whole hour would have been saved, Wa might go on and enugierate a dozen Just luch;fl»cm(luufl on the farid, which consume time necdlessly, A WINTER-EMPLOYMENT, There are men who mostly 1lve off the earn. ings of others. They are by no means contlned Lo one class of socicty fu thelr depredations, but rey uputs all trades and professions alike. ume people appear to think that the farmer is nlune the dupe ot scheming villalns, Lut peo- ple of all callings have thelr weak spots, and sharpers exist Who make n living by swindling lawyers, The farmer, however, vreseuts o wide and broad field for nll sorts of schiemes, Thousands of dollars have been car- ried out of every county [n the State by the ven- ders of soine worthless grain-drill, well-ouger, cliurn, gate, or feuve; and the business contin- 11es to flourlsh i spite of warnings and failures. The patent-gute and fence business las long, hecn a regular bonsnza for sharners, After the furmer has pald one inan for the right to use it, another fellow vomes along and wanta pay for infringemient of his patent, snd, Ly dlnt of threats, he usually succeeds to getting all or rt of his demand. The next thing that prom- ml to give a rich return to PATENT-RIGHT STIARTRRS is the barbed-wire fence. A great deal of this articlo I8 in use, und it seems destined to take the place of altnost everything clse, Advertise- mecuts like this one meel the eye in nearly every Journal: Tiay only John Smith's barbed-wire fence, All others are lufringements. Notice dn hereby given that John Smith will enforce his rizhta azalnst all “vho sell or use barbed-wire fence, a8 his is the only valid patent. The crop of wire fences Is large and about tipe; In other words, it 18 how tlue fur a couple of men to eall on o farnier who has o burbed feuce, and demand damages of him for usine it in un unlawful manuer, 1t will be the old game of patent sharners over azain; and we warn the readers of ¢ The Farm amnd Ganden ™ in thoe, so that they may bo on their guard.

To the Editor of The Tribune, Cnrcaao, Oct, 20,—Not only far away under thedeepsen are the coral-builders ot work making strong and true the bulwark of their island to rise mhove the waves, but here at home, In our own land, and even in this city, are active bralns and busy hands as stcadily en- gazed. They are bullding a ** city of refuge » and u temple dedicated to Christ nnd Temper- rance. Just ut this harvest season will gather scorus of these temple-builders, They come to dedicate themselves anew tothe Master-bullder, and to the growing edifice. Al will br{ng their richess gifts,~they who liave gold, and sliver, and precious stones, cedar, and olive-wood, and palin, and olso those who ean give oaly the labor of thefr hands to hew " the stones, to carve the llly-work and pom- egranates, and fo forze the mectals, Foremost among the prominent women-wo ers who came to this Christian Temperanee Assembly fs Mrs. Annie Wittenteyer, of hila- felphia, {ts Prestdent, Ter name s known and Jionored by many in our land, but her desds are greater than ber fume. Stic wax born {n Ohio, but her varly home was fu Kentucky: hergrand- [ather was a uative of Maryland and her muther of Kentucky, so that she inherits the warm, fervid temperament of the South with the cool, caleulating reason of the North. At the begine ping of the War of the Rehelifon Mrs. Witten- meyer was appolnted Sanitary Agent of the State of lowa by the Legmstature. Secretary Stanton, of the War Department, gave passes for herself and supplies through the army line, and u letter of {nstruc- tiou to army oflicers to co-operate in her onter- prise for tho relicf of the solllers. Lunter, sle entered the service of the Chnstlan Commis. #lon. s Here she had the oversight of 200 ladles, and developed her plan of a special diet kitch- un, to the great sdvautaze of the health of the soldlers, In this work ehie had the assistance of the Surgeon-General and all the urmy offlcers, both medical and military, By Invitatfon of the Burgeon-Gencrul she was invited to meetthe Medienl Comnnissfon appointed to_review the speelal diet cooking of the army. The work of this Cominission led to a therough chanire futhe hospital cooking of the army, which was lifted to a grade of hyglenle pertection far abuve any- thing before Kuown in mllitary affairs, and from which not ~ likely to fall azain to the old standard, It1s slmple justice to add what Is & matter of history It the United States Christian Cotginis slun, that theso finprovements in the ot kitch- ons of the arny were the means of saving thou- sands of valuable lives, ana of restoring noble 1nen to health and usefuliess. At the clasa of the War Mrs. Wittenmever cstablished u Home for Soldlers’ Orphans In'Towa, which s still fu n. g‘f"{l"’""‘ condition under the care of the ate. On entering futa the Home Misslonary Soclety for Women Mrs, W, removed to Philadelphin, ‘where sha commenced editing her papers known u8 the Chriatian Woman and the Chriatian CAild, At the first National Temperance Con- ventfon. it was bub patural that _ the wqtien representing ditferent Btates should choosc as u leader ong’ whose name al- ready exhaled the perfume of & lfe of herolsm. Durini the past turee years twenty-threu States havo been organized a8 suxiliary to the National Unlon, and paper bas been founded as its or- @an. Mre, Wittenmoyer has labored tirclessly in the lecturn flold, “speaking sometimes aix cyenings fit the week, beside traveling hundreds of miles, It would be lmpossible to ect forth, {n this bricf sketeh, the telling cood accomp: lished by thls fudefatigable worker for tem- perance. More than all, Mrs, Wittenmeyer fs devoted to the advancenient of her sox fn uscfulncss and opportunity, First, and last, and always, sho {3 8 woman's woman. The Gospel work s her delleht, and her hymn of victory, written for the Conventlon at” Newark one year ago, embodics her declaration of faith us a temper- auce reformer.
