A TIIBVING SCHEME, ‘The scheme of the ** Ring," noticed somo days ago, to let all the contracts In conncetion with the Court-llouse before golng out of oflice is working nicely. The architect has been quictly asked to prepare the nevessary specilizations for the diifercnt work, which lle has done, and the next that §s expected to bo heard from him will be & conmunleation to tho Board recom- meniding the inviting of proposals, The retir- ing Ringsters propuse to so leave the Court- House work that thelr dividends will continue right along for years to some. The ob- Jection to thelr scheme belng succeasfully engdnecered throurh I8 they cannot let a contrat without first aporopriating maney to meet It. They malntain, however, that this lms been overcome by the petting uslde of all the back tuxes for the Court-House work, which is nothing more nor less toan a blind for thelr thicvery, for verv littln will ever be realized fromn this soutree, and whatever may be. wus appropriated to othier purposes when tio taxes were levicd, { tney canuot doany better they wiil fortify themselves with one of Rountree’s India-rublicr “opinlans,” and then push it throueh, If Egan lends himiself to the jub he will make himselt lisble to publie contempt, for there is no neces- elty for the letting of the contracts for a year to wome, excepd to muke money for the Ring. BOME STHANGE PIGUNEY, Architeet Eean yesterday scut on cstimato to the County Bourd' in favor of P, J. Sexton for work on the Court-House, in w! he recom- mended the payment of £50,651.40, The esti- mate reviewed ‘the work done. and presented soina stranee ligures, revenling very clearly that ather grabs In connection with county atfaits must pale into Inslenitlcance when compated with this. Up to dite Sexton has been pakd £130,071, and when he has recelved the 850,000 additional recotnmended ho will have pocketed $161,622.80. His contract prico for the entire work was o little over $300,000. and, while le has been paid nearly two-thirds of the mmount, the work {8 not niore than one-third completed. Egan gives him credit for having lakd 8,000,000 brick, which nechanies sn{ Is an outragevus picee of favoritiam, and entirely unwarranted by tho facts, Of the amount already patd the estl- mate shows that over £20,000° has been for s+ extras " in the brick-work, everycent of which Is o maonstrous, flagrant, unblusiiing steal, for the work done 1s not fully up to the orleinal specitieations, But the wreatest swindle sct forth fn the detalls of the catimate In question cotnes under the head of the ‘*dome,’ which Is \)ut down ns having already cost 240,000,153, When the dome work was about being vom- meneed, John McMahon offered todo it all for $13,600, and tho highest Gizures made by any of the competitors “were nhout $20,000. he work, however, wag @nully let to Bexton to Lo duno measurement or the day’s work, and Egan gave the nssurance that it would not cost to exceed §27,000 conipleted in this wn{ ll“ ho now certlties to Ita haviug cost over & ) while It s far from complete. At the rate thlugs are zolnw ou, the dome— foundation only, and that entiroly uselcss, sinco the city Is to have no dome—will cost in tha vicinity of $60,600, in which a ateal of 40,000 appears, and Scxton's original contract will be swelled to £600,000. Tha ““ Rine ! {s determined, it will bie seen, 1o go out full:zkanded; ' and tho surprise is that Egan should scemiuuly givo it his nsststance. ANNOUNCEMEN'TS. The lodics of Wabash Aveoue M. E.

SUBURBAN, BNGLEWOUD, One of the final results of the bad Democratic whisky dilfused on election was an attack upon H.

Wednesday afteruoon the two were passenzers oo the Peru sccommodation trala, wud occupled scats together. Fagan had cone siderable whisky pboard, aud told Goodall that upou the arrivul of tho train at Englewood he ehould eltber thrash him or take a thraab- fng. As roon na the train stopped, and beforo Goodall could Teave the car, Fagan mnde n pase ot him, but, na tioodall was on hia cuard, he warded off the blow, After leaving the train, Faran followed Gowmdall to the bagraee-car and strack another blow which just grazed Goodall’s cheek, caus- fug n sweliing but not breaking the skin, Frignds then intorfered and took Fagan ofl, Goodatl sars e s the man or boy (he is only 1% or 20 years old) was drunk, and therefore only attempted to protect himeelf from his aesault, Fagan gave himsclf up, was taken be- fore Justice Sinlth, who fined him £5 and coste, 1le grave as & rensou for the nssault that Goal- all had been sending telegrams detrimental to him, UWoodall rays he tias not sent any telo: grams for n_number of weceks, and certainly ilf}llu about Fagan, ae he knew nothing about M.

RAILWAYS IN WAR. The Important Part They liave Played In Recent European Campnigns, The Militarische Satler gives the following details of the numbhers which bave been trans- ported to the theatre of war by railwnys at the outset of some of tho more recent European campalgns: whon the French, German, und Austrian rallways performed work which con- trasts forvibly with the performances of the Russian and Roumanlan lines futhe present war. During the concentration of the French army In northern Italy at the begloning of the campalen of 1850, no fewer than 604,31 men and 129,227 liorses wero moved by rallway. Tho average time taken to transport troops from Paris to Genon wus flve days; and, on one oc- caslon, a battallon was brought from Lillic to Marscilles In forty hours. At the time when the greatest activity was displayed, 5,500 men and B00 horscs were transported dally from Paris to Maracilles, and onono pagticular day 12,000 men and 630 borses wero eafcly carricd through. No accldent of any kiud occurred dur- ing the whole period, nor was theordinary traf- fic an the line suspended. In 1866, during the concentration of tho Prussian army on the Austrlan frunticr, the whole of the Elehth Army Cor:is, comprisin 41,000 men, 8,500 horses, ninety-five two-wheel- ed and 3,125 four-wheceled vehicles, was imoyed by rall In six days from the Rhinointo BSax- ony.
