Nooneever yet knew a woman €o absent- minded that when her own baby eried ata mati- neeshe would scowl and mutter, “I wonder why people can’s have sense enough to keep thieir squallin brats at bome if they have to go 10 theatres.” 4 An old gzentleman named O'Grady, residing at No. 101 Miller street, dicd Friday afternoon of injuries received by bring run down by a Team and wagon belonging to 3 man named Barlow, residiiz on Nurtou sireet. Ivis said 1he affair was purely accidental. ‘Prof.Tomlizs, of the Chicago Apollo Club.has been engazed by the Arion Society of Milwau- Lee to oranize and conduct in that city a male chorus, which it is expected will number some forty to filty voices.

Dr. Almon Brooks, formerly of Arkansas Hot- Spriags, now 4 resident of Chicago, is_perform- iuer some most wondertul cures in chroue dis- eases. Several cases of gout and rheumatism are known of which nad been prouounced hope- Ieesly incurable until Dr. Brooks took them in charge, the cure of which, under his treatment, seems absolutely wiraculous. Areport is in circulation that Miss Sweet is aboat to resien the oflice of Peusion Asent in This ity This is unfounded. On the contrary, «'ye TRIDUNE is authorized to say that the voung lady will continue to conduct the affairs .| of that oflice with ber usual energy and skill; also, that she is an applicant for reappointment, und expeets to retain the otlice another term. Mr. Bergen, teachér in the West Division Hieh School, whose sudden disappearance was noticed in Tas TRIBGNE some days ugo, has re- 1urned to his home well, and in his right mind. He he came o himself, and first realized Tuis situation, by seeing anotice of his disappear- ancein THE Tripusein New York City. His aberration was, he eays, occasioned by anxiety and 1oss of sleep, in watching over bis sick wife during the past five months. The sublime indifference to life and limb shown by some drivers in the city was exempli- tied yesterday afternoon ou North Clark street, pearIndiama. A newsboy, about 12 years old, who was about getting on a car, was struck by a horse attached to a delivery wagon, which was be'ng driven at s reckless speed I the opposite direction 1o that in which the car was woing. "The 1ad was severely injured, and unfortunately the offending driver was not arrested. Capt. J. McGrath, Superintendent of Mails in the Chicago Post-Office, yesterday received a telegram from Washington to the effect that Mr, George S. Bangs died in that city at 3 a. m. AMrs. Bangs left this city for Washington on ‘Thureday, and will return with the remains. In her absence nothms definite has been scttied in Tegard to the funeral, but it will probably oceur onTuesday. The interment will be at Rosehill Cemetery, and Bishop Cheney will probably conduct the services. Yesterday morning, while a number of work- Snemen were engaced in building a sidewaik ‘wall on the corner of Dearoorn avenue and Iili- Dois street, 2 man named Joseph W. Prince, Tesiding at 1341 Fulton strect, fell beneath the sidewalk. He was taken up insensible, and car- Tied to tne office of Dr. C. E. Ely, No. 111 Dear- born avenue, where it was found that his arm was broken, his shoulder dislocated, and a gen- eral dislocation of the bonesin_tie body. Dr. Ely sct the dislocsted limbs skiltfully, and had the man conveyed to bis home. Yesterday afternoon John Griffin, an employe of the schooner Crosthwaite, lying at the foot of Seventcenth street, while attempting to ‘board that vessel, fell into the river, whence he was rescued some miuutes later by Capt. La Bouunty aund the river squad, who raked the body from the bottom. Dr. Bingham was on ‘hand and resuscitated the drowning man, and Yie was atterwands conveyed to his home, corner of Carroll and Union streets. The river water ‘proved t0o much for him, Lowever, and be died within an hour after reaching bome. “Well, roung man,” said a TRIBONE report- er, as he halted before a cell at the Central Sta- tion occapied by a gentleman of cotor, ** what Lrings you iere; ch ¢+ An animalcule, boss,” Tevlied the inmate; © I was jess a walkmg alonz the strect, as 1'd like to be at this moment. ana Teeea rove. and pick it up, and 1 declar’ to Bebben. boss, if de_ police didn’t pick me up, 2 o [ come to investigate, shuah enuff,dar u animalenle on datar string.? * Wihat surtof an avimalule?’ asked the reporter Whose curiosity was aronsed. * Wa-al, Loss, it was a cuw,’’ réluctauthy replied the prisoner. “If you had ambition in you,” said bis wife 10 bitn sarcastically, 1 think vou would try and carn sometbug for your family, so that in case I baa to sce how L'would lovk in black there would be sumezhing for them to live o, and we wouldn't have toro over the hills to the Poor-House.™ +* Yaas,” e answered, with a.sueer; * you don’t caleh me goiLg aud carn- ing ninéty ‘or a hundred millions in the sweat of my brow, and then when ' dead bave you all golug wto court and swearing that 1 wasa Jiar and a horge-thiet, und rau for oflice ou the Licb and Lynch ticket.

No sularics are paid except to the drugwist, and that was donated, so that the entire income was devoted to supplying_medicines aud_apolicances for treatment. The Trustees, in view of tue great general usefulness of this deserving charity and its need of funds to contribute to its sup- port, unite in making a plea for as- gistance to which there should be =a bearty response.

THE GREAT WESTERN SURANCE COMPANT. “The third dividend meeting of the creditors of the defunct Great Western Insurance Com- pany was held vesterday afternoon in_the United States Circuit Court room, Register Hib- bard presiding. Mr.J. K. Philo, on the siznee’s behalf, read a report of the Company’s affairs, which {s in brief as follows: Total claime proved up to aate $511.800 Total dividend paid to date... 124, 7&6 Warrauts on hand unealled for. 6,270 Totsl cash on bund.... 3 31,360 A dividend of 4 per cent on these claims would be §32,472.27, or $1,111.75 more than the Assiznee has on hand; but as all the dividends are not called for_at once it was decided to de- lareand pay a dividend of 4 per cent on all Claims which have been proved up: Tie creditors then gave Mr. C. W. Upton a vote of-thauks for the elicient manner in which he has performed his dutics, approved hi: claim of §2500 for fees, and fixed s salary in the future at $L250 per aunum after Jun, 1, 187, They also re- guested him to withdraw his request to b dllowed to resign, and in view of “tius public testimonisl of coufidence he 1 doubtless do 80. THE BANKS. Dr. Turpin, Receiver of the Fidelity, filed a petition yesterduy before Judee Moore, setting out that the debts of the bank are mostly due to depositors, and are evideuced by ‘deposit- books. The number of “depositors fs §000. 1t would ~entail a ry expense to_compel these depositors o prove up their claims, and 1o Ltecetver asks that all claims evidenced by deposit-books may be allowed without further proof. Also, thal he may be authorized to de- Clare and pay a dividend of 10 per cent on ail debts owing by the bank. Both requests were granted by Judge Moore. The Doctor announces that at 10 o’clock Monday wmorning be will commence the pay- meot of a 10 per cent dividend out of the funds in his possession. Those wno have not yet handed in their pass-books must bring them along, a: no money will be paid except on their presentation. The oflice will be vpen from 10 2. m. 104 p. w., aud no moacy cau be obtained outside of those hours. Mr. Chandler, the trastee who held the se- curities for the_investment-fund of the depos- itors of the Beclive. has turned over the securities to Mr. Ward, as trustee for the depositors. Dividend-day seems as far ofl as ever at this institution. The probable assets have been iccreased by the “addition of six luts which bave been held by the West Chicago Laud Company as trustee. The Court allowed Mr. Ward to redeem them by paying §400 per Jot and the expense of redemption. Mo have been built upon toree lots by Mr. Myers, and they will Drobably swell the asscts some $5,000. THE PIRST WARD REPCBLICAN CLUB Leld a meetine at the Grand Paciie Hotel last eveniug, Abner Taylor u the chawr. There Were twenty-five members present.

ALIAS “THE WESTERN LITCRARY BUREAU." In the wide range of scholastic duties there is nothinz so irksome to theaverage youne ides as the pecessity of shooting off a *composition upon a ziven topic. Occasionally, but seldom, wetind in seats of learning a pupil or so to whom the preparation of essays is as easy as 1ying about the source of his or their informa- tion upon the subject treated, but as a general Dproposition nothing presents so many difficul- ties to the pupil as the manufacturé of an ex- cgesis which shall at once reflect credit upon the institution and the course of study marked out hyrlue eminent Professors. Nor are these hard- ships contiaed to the prevaratory schools or the. collezes of the land. We are told by some of he most profound divines that their ideas of future azonies stored up for tne unregenerate are uot infrequeatlv derived from the tortures involved inthe weaving of sermons, and the scientist climes in* with his contribution :n? inla;ms ll‘s that the lines on his brow are ut a retlex of the lin vi ithi doutit uson bis blotted Sod- searea e What would be more patural, theu, than that this tro of sutferers, the sophomore, the minis- ter, and the delver in' metaphysical mysterics their souls and ready-made work to their hands? ! what truly good man would quarrel Wwith a dis- pensation that purveys providential rest to the tired brains and weary fingers of the valedicto- Tiam, the emissary of the Creator, and the un- veiler of scientific secrets? It is in this spirit of welcome that we would speak of an institution recently established in our midst aud appro- priatelv named TIE WESTERN LITERARY BUREAU. From the prospectus of the Buresu we are at liberty to infer that * the custom requiring all students to present graduation cssays OF OFa- tions is arbitrary,” and, from the tenor of what follows, the logical deduction is, that 1t is also offensive. For we are encouraged to believe that **all are not casy or natural writers; and ceven those otierwise prepared for graduation have not had the Wiscipline_neeessary to render their efforts creditable.”” More than this, *no amount of discipline can_make it possible for some Lo write cven a mediocre essay at any time during their schoo! years,? and th allexed facts form thie basis from which the Bureau proposes to operate, furnishing ¢ ¢ssavs or orations of any Jength on any subject de- sired, or skeletons, with appropriate quotations aud references, for any occasion, on short notice, and at reasonable rates.” Thus we are not per- mitted to combat the assertion that GENTLEMEN PREPARED FOR GRADUATION are’ sutfi ly disciplined to undertake their prescribed duties, for we are met with the sol- cwn aunouncement that no amount ot discipline will ever elevate them to the standard required, and were we disposed to cavil at this, we are silenced Dy the unanswerable arzument that such discipline is entirely unnecessary when the results ean be obtained upon brief notitication and at prices that put them within the reach of all. Discarding for the moment the studeut, the prospectus takes up the pulpit, the platform and the lyceum, and procliims that Addreses, speeehies, lectures, aud sermous can be furnished at special rates,” zud to com- mend this statement to whom it many concern, the allegation is made that *these have been furnished to many promiuent persons durinig the y decade by this Burean.” This, in some respects, might be consudered an unfortunate admission, for the majority of the speeches. ad- dresses, lectures, and” seumons ol the past de- cade can scarcely b contemplated as provoking a phenomenal dégree of respect for the invent~ ors thereof, At this point we turn with natural curiosity to TIE GIST OF THE CIRCULAR, which s the price-list attached to these pro- digious literary efforts. Herein we discover a revelation of comparative values which in themselves are . worth the . price of admission. We are confidentially admon- ished that Scientitic and Political efforts, of ten foolscap pages each, are worth $20, while Theo- logieal endeavors are quoted at but $15. The inquiring mind not unnaturally desires to know his discrimination in price, but 1o infor- matiou is vouchsafed, and we are driven to the inference that politics being mixed, und science in its infauey, taey present ereater diflicultics to the composer, or that ministers’ salarics, be- g either low or never paid, theological sub- jects are pliced within® easy acquisition. Or still anothier reason vresent: elf in the reflec- uon that the Dureau may contwn taleut of pious twist, which, recosui the funda- mental | importante of godliness as contrasted with scientific attainments and polirical information,. prefers to alapt the prives to the requirements of the awe, and force righteousness upon people - already surferted with politics and science. s One would scarcely look for modesty in such a circular, but, ON FURTHER INVESTIGATION we find even that element creepime in. Tt lies in the assumption that the Bureau does not sorb all the genius of the are, snd that the p: sses some degree ol intelizence. Tois onis developed inthe tion that he may be able to fill up ** skeletons with tive quo- tations and tive or more references by book and page on scientitic, amd political, aml theological " and these are purveyed at, for the )y S 5. This teaches us that the filling in not ouly of a political or entific cotmpo worth but $10. a act that will comumend itself to the churches that employ pastors of pecu- s v mentioued are 2 and we find that_we will e provided w lcohol ¥ for $3 and_* Bonds at similar rates. *Public Opinion,” which is ordinarily considered priceless, is piwced at_ che sawe firire, and * Heaven 7 and * Hell 7 come forward offering you your choice for a like sum. “Motber? aud *Children” are p sented wi ne wmount, which will also_purchase *Manners,” +Beauty,” ** Crime,” *Couscience,” ** Charac- variety of ot ter ¥ (cheap), * Manhood,” * Woman,? “Sor- row,” and a choice selection of OTUER WOBS AN SURES, Quly set forth aud deli up, with th further advantage that those who are disposed 10 climb Lo fame up the gifted bvack of this - valuable Bureau ure permitted to commute, and are notitied that *“two or three page e 'y monthly or semi-monthiy,” may be obtained for fromn_one to two doliars each,—an_ induce- ment to the formation of clubs which will com- mend itself to the ceonomical or the poverty- stricken. It is scarcely to be questioned that this insti- tution would forget that its success livs munly in secresy, and nvestization develops that this important fact lias not been nsluid. * Please state in your order (for work) your name (ficti- tious if desired). and also inclose your last or best original essay, that your style tiay be stud- ted.” mission of 32 OF FICIITIOUS NAMES leaves us without that valuable of refer- ences and mdorsements wlhich such concerns vencrally put forti a8 indicative of their value to sufferers. 1t also deprives us of «ll informa- tion 25 to the exact whereabouts of thuse men whose interest in their tlocks has depriv them of portions of their hard-earned cmolu- ments “during the past decade.” So, al we grope blindly for those ornaments of the school who bave shot themselves into fame Lhrough a 1ortuitous recomuition of this priceless Bureau.

TAYLOR. THE WILL CONTESTED. Just two years ago Henry Hobart Taylor, of this city, by his will left about $500,000 to found a charitable institution of some ind, but Teaving the decision of whatkind tobis trustees, Henry W. King, Albert Keep, Henry F. Eun Wirt Dexter, O. 8. A. Sorawue, Thomas M. Avery, Heury Keep, and II. B. Bogue. The trustees huve as yet taken no steps toward carrying out the intentions of the testator, and yesterday Mr. Taylor's son, Hobart C. Taylor, by bis nest friend, Adelaide D. Taylor, tiled a bill against the above-named trustees and Albert’ Keep, IL F. Eames, and H. W. King, the 'executors under the will, and ' tne Home of the Friendless, a residuary legatee, to have this magnificent bequest_set aside ou the ground of iutinite- ness. Complaluant sets out that his father died Nov. 9, 1875, leaving a wili by which he lhc\!ucomc ol $200,000 to his wife, the income of $50,000 and s lot of land on the southwest corner of Caval and Adams streets to his son, cowplainant, and an anowity of $2,000 to his mother. All the rest of nis estate was to the nentioned seven Lrustees in trust for the fouuding or cuduwis [ a charitable or other institution in this city, such as 1 the opinton of tie trustees is most needed. If no new insti- tution is needed, then the fund was to be given to the Home tor the Friendless. Mrs. Taslor renounced under the will aud elected to take ler dower, Complainant uow charges that the provisions of his father's willas to the foundinz of a .charitable iustitution are wholly inoperative and void, by reasoo of the indefniteness and uncertainty of the beneficiaries thercunder. and that it is 0ot sucn a bequest to charitaole uses as the Court wiil supervise or adminster; that the devise is whoily void as a devise of property ‘whatever, so that the trustees take no title and tne whole remainder of this great estate belonws tohim as sole heir of his father. He, there- fore, usks that the trustees may be enjoined from attempting to carry out tlus noble trus! that the will muy be decdared voul in this respect, and that the property which was in- tended to be devoted to sowme great charitable purpose may all be_turned aver to bim for his own sole nse. Mr. Jonn N. Jewett appears for the complainnat. called on Mr. Wirt Dexter, one of lust evening for the purpose of learniug what they purpose doing. *¢ tow much will ghoe cstate yield beyond the bequests to Mrs. Taylor and this son?” said the reporter. ¢ About $400,000,” was the reply. “Haye the trustees done auything yet to- ward establishing o charity " 4No, for the reason that the executors have not pald over the money—have not settled the estate. The will provides that, if the trustees cannot agree that it is advisable to found an in- stitution, the funds shall go to the Homeof the Friendless. They have not yet certitied that it is undesirabie.

THE FUNERAL SERVICES. The body of John O’Rourke, the brave fire- man who lost lus life at the fireat Field & Leiter's Wednesday night, was yesterday buried at Culvary Cemetery. Long before the hour ap- pomted a large crowd gathered outside the late residence of the deceased. on the corner of Maxwell and Jefferson streets, and by 10 o'clock there were fully 2,000 persons present. ‘The fullest sympathy was expressed for the un- fortunate widow and her fatherless children. At 10 o’clock a detail of cighty-four firemen with Marshal Sweeney in charire, assisted by Marshals Kinney and Green, took up their posi- tion in ithe line. Maj. Nevaw's band led the procession, which wus of considerabie length, the many friends of the deceased turning out to nuy the last tribute of respect Lo his rewa ‘Tlie procession moved on Jefferson to Niue teenth strect, and thence west to the Church of the Sacred Heart, corner of Johuson street, where Fathier Corbett performed a requictt hizh mass. “The services lasted about an lour, the offi- ciating priest making a brief address in which hie dwelt upon the bravery of the deceased and reminded his hearers that death must come to all. O'Rourke died in the discharge of his duty, and, although his fate was a dreadtul oue, they y ilmuld all remember that o better life awaited . At the conclusion of the services, the proces- sion reformed and marched on Halsted to Har- ison, thence east to Desvlaing , sl then north to the Kinzie strect depot of the Northwestern Railroad, where the cotlin was transferred to the ears. Many of the friends accompanied the body %o Calvary Cemetery. There were about forty carriages in the processi and several hundreds who could not afford the expense of a vehicle accompunied the cortege to the depot. The appearance of the fire vas highly commended, their marching being cellent. ‘This afternoon the remaius of Charles A. Dadley will be escorted from the house of Col. State, near Twelith street, to the cars ail of firemen. A very large turnout is anticipated. At a meeting ot the Firemen’s Bunevolent iou of the Puid Fire Department, held yesterday afternoon at Engine No. 13’s house, ihe following resolutions were unanimously adopted in respeet to the memory of O Rourke: WueRess, In view of the loss we have sustained by the decense of our friend und sssociate, John O'Rourke, and of the still heavier joss sustainea Dy those who were nearest and dearest to b therefore be it Resolved, That It is but a just trivute to the memors of the departed 1o say that, in regretting his remioval from our midst, we mourn for one Who Wus in every way worthy of our respect and regard. Resolred, That the heartfelt eympathy of this Departent be extended to his famuly in their afliiction. lesolred, That these resolutions be spread upon the records of the Assocation und a copy sent to the family of our deceased brotier and also to each of the daily papers. A DEMOCRATIC PAPEL, TO BE RUN ON A NEW.PLAN It was reported yesterday that the Democracy of Chicago had gotten up a plan for the founds- tion of a Democratic newspaper to be manazed by Gen. Hermann Lieb, who will, in about two weeks, be out of a job. There has for some vears been uo trustworthy Democratic paper in this city, and various attempts have been made to remedy this misfortune, as by starting the News, which burst up ignominiously, or by subsidizing the Cowrier, which died under George Yeager. There bas been talk also of buving the Times and reforming it, but sufli- cient money never could be_raised, and the scheme always fell through. Now it is proposed, oes, to get up a broad-gange. joint- tive Demo.ratic newsps one where fore bound to nay newspaper wisich < the Democracy, as well theresidentsof Quar- 1y and Lock streets as the resoectables who live in the portheastern corner of the Eighteenth Ward. ¢ money on which the paper is to be start- to o contributea by the various Demo- cratie ward ciubs, whose members will be stock- holders in the sheet, Tne Chairman of each nt all cla ward club will be charzed, so the story woes, with the pl i ward. int duty oi opening stock-books nd _soliciting subs.riptions to the , which will be In shares of 31 or be_within the reach of the ch Democrat an opporLunity pitalist and a part owner of 3 of be:oming a newspaper.

OI course, onc of the hest, if not actually the firsr, things to do was to seek out Potter Palmer amd ask bim it he proposed to embark in the unewspaper business, with Gen.

WINSKY. THE SECOND BATCH. Judge Blodzett was occupied nearls all day yesterday in bearing the argument on the de- murrers to the amended answers of the two prominent members of the *‘second batch,” Rocile, Junker & Co., and Ford, Oliver & Co. The argument on the part of the Government was conducted by Mr. Henry Thomson, Asss ant District-Attorney, Judge Bangs amusing bimself by being one of the audience. Mr. Thomson contended that, even if the azrec- ment of immunity had been made by the Goy- ernment with the defendants, as they con- tended, it was no defense to the present prose- cution. It was within the exclusive province of the Executive Devartment of the Government to determine wheu a pardon should be granted, and upon what terms. The Government haa deternnned that the defendauts were not eu- titled to u pardon, and, in consequence of that, the cases were being prosecuted. It was evi- dence of the fact that_the Government would notgrant & pardon. The pleas were in the nuture of a bill for sp performance of a promise to extend the Executive clemency. The p_.lrdo 0 power vested in the President bere was the same :n character us that vesied in the Crown in England, and it had been_ repeatedly Leld that the courts could not interiere with the exercise of the pardoning power. The utmos Tight an accomplice gained by turning State's evidence was the might to bave his case con- tinued long enough to make an apolication to the Government for a pardou, and in no fo- stauce had the court stopped a case beeause a promize of that kind was not kept. Under the distribution of the powers of Gov- erminent by our Constitution into lezislative, executive, and judicial, cach department within its provinee was absolutely independent of the control of all the utaers. . The executive might as well uudertake to entertain appeals from the courts in judivial causcs as the courts under- take to entertain appeals from the executive department in cases of anolieations for nardon. It was the exclusive province of the courts to hear and determine cases, aud of the executive department to hear and grant pardons. Judge Blodgett inquired if the counsel cluimed that in case of such an agrecment as the present, when the District Attorney had re- fused to carry out an agreement, a Court would be- powerless to carry it out. In such an in- stance 1 Court would be party to u fraud. Mr. Thomson sid he did not elaim that. He thought that the Executive Department, in the ¢éxereise of the mere prerogative of its dis- cretion, was not subject to be arraigned be- fore o Court, and tried, as to whether it wisely or = unwisely exercised its par- don., The plea was most extraordinary. It was an arraignment of the whole Government by self-confessed thieves who came in and as| ed the Court to put the Government on trial, as to whether it hud dealt m good faith with them. Judge Blodgett suid it seemed to him that the Court_ at all times had a right to prevent what seemed 1o be a fraud on justice, and if any such an agreement had been made it ought'to be carvied out. 1l would therefore entertain the pleas, and overrule the demurrer. Judse Bangs then apphed for time to file re- plications and gave notice that he would call up u ses for trial Monday morning. These re- plications deny that any sucn cment was made as charged by the defendauts, und also allege Lhat they did ot carry out their part of the agrcement, and that they were not included in the agreement. ‘e whisky cases of the Lake Shore Distilling Company and R. C. Mersercau were dismissed in accordance with the order of Commuissioner Raum. THE NEW BOARD. THE FIRST CAUCUS of the newly-clected County Commissioners was held yesterday at the Grand Pacific Hotel. ¢ object is readily understood, and it is very patural that the mecting should have been pri- vate. Allof the new members were present, and with them were Messrs. Ayars, Senue, and Tabor, the Kepublican wembers of the Board holding over. An aceurate report of the entire ceedings cannot be giveu, as the reporter for found it impossible to hear through the brick walls, but enough is known to suy that the Bourd will organize as_a Republican body, and that, all reports to the contrary, a new era is about to dawn in the County (iovernmcut. ‘The meeting was held more to have the mem- bers become acquainted than anything else, and since they have become acyuainted and under- stand one anothier, the tuture is well detined. While the question Of the Chairmanship ot the Board was not diseussed, the new members, to au, declared that they had no bankering ‘the office, und, except Mr. Burling, wno was pleaged to Ayres, tendered their individual support to Mr. Seune for the pusition, as did also Mr. Tabor, witbout cither s tation or promi The only business really transacted was the appointment of a committee, composed_of Me: Spoflord and- Scune, to wuit upon Mr. zeerald and ingite him toattend o tuture weus, when the orzanization of the wew Board wis to be determined. This action was taken not with a view of sceuring his co-uperation iu the oreavization to deivat the 1, for with cight votes pledued it was en- tirely unnecessary, but simply as 4 recosnition and an appreciation of that gentieman’s ser- vices in the past in bis onslaugnt on tae cor- ruptioniets. The Commiitee was no: authorized to make anv offers to Fitzgerald of any kind, but the of the meeting was that his ser- vices durinz the past vear should be tittingty re- cognized, and from what could be learned ~ the meinbers of the cancus were inclived to treat tum generously, and give him at least a promi- nent chairmansnip and a place on most of the itportant committees. Alter the adjournment of the caucus the question of the Chiairmanship of the Board was freely discussed. So far_as could be iearned the contest betw Senne and Ayars, with the ehanees iG favor of the former. uainst Avars it was d that he nad been making promises to the hold-over members—Democrats —in the appointment of the Committees if they would support him, which nuy or may not be true. One_ thing certain, he "is sceking the piace, and Senae is not. 1i he is elected it will e by the Democratic vote, and they will expect some favors iu retura, of course, in the matier of Committe On the otner hand, if Seone is elected, it will be by the Republican vote, aud without any pledues of any kind to any person. The election of either would be an improve- ment over Holden, but the eiection of Scnue would apparently bring about the best results. BAR ASSOCIATION. A SPECLAL MEETING of the Bar Ass jon was held yesterday after- noon to settle the important question of the time for the annual Bar dinuer. The hour for the meeting was 3 p. m., but half-2-dozen extra hungry members of the Assoctation assembled at 2 o'clock so a3 to be sure to be. present in time.

TIHE CITY-HALL. Last week there were eight deaths from scarlet fever. Four new cases of the disease were reported yesterday. During the past week the Building Depart- ment has issued permits for fourteen buildings, ‘whose aggregate estunated cost is $53,000. The Treasurer received $150,000 vesterday from County-Treasurer Huck. The minor re- ceipts of the day were $25 from the City Col- lector, $12,333 from the Comptroller; and $4,244 from the Water Department. A reporter yesterday took time to inquire into the facts called for by the Council Friday nizht 1n reference to the recent improvement of Michizan avenue to ‘Thirty-tirst street, and learned that the cost to the city of the improve- ment of that artery to the parks in the south- ern part of the city was_about $13,000, not §16,000, as stated il the Council. It will be remembered that in_ the appropriations for 1577 was one item of 360,000 for street clean- ing and repairing ia the South Division. A grater portton of that amount was needed for the cleaning alone. The balance was for re- ovairs. The Department of Public Works in making repairs came to the conclusion, after having been urged by press and public, that it were better to expend 4 large sum upon one permanent, appreciable improvement thun upoa ineessant ditch-digging aud patehing-up, which would not be asu drop in the buck toworkto be done. Th nue was improved, and Wi was to have been similurly dealt with bhad the funds held oui. The citi- zens can see, ride on, and enjoy Michizan avenue, whereas if the mousy used in its - provement had been esvended for diteh-dig- sing, ete., it would have be 04 as wast- ed. 'Where the money is expendeéd in such a way that a large number of men do ot come dire-tly under the control of the city offl the Aldermen, or rather a few of them, be: object because they do not have a chance to se- cure appointiments for theirheachmen and make themselves solid with the wanz. For that rea- con some of them objected some time ago to the employment of “muachinery to cleau the streets. T BABZITT'S PREPARATIONS. ton strect B, T.GABBITT'S Original and Standard Hanufactures.
