I've seen bigger Icet than that. I came from St. Louis.® “The Board of Trade, contrary to the usual custom, will hold their annua! mecting Monday afternoon at 8:30 instead of in the evening. A movement is on foot to sccure Farwell Hall, ce the Chamber of Commerce is unfit for sSuch a gathering, it being impossible to hear anything there when one 15 talking.

This is certainly taking time Ly the forelock. » The Newberry will case, involving the estab- listiment of afree public library in the North Division, as well as a large estate for the heirs, will be argzed before the Su?rcme Court at Springtield to-morrow. Mr. Wirt Dester, who Tepresents the library and the heirs, left for Springfield last wight, accompanied by Mr. E. B. McCage, who has been retained as special couusel on the same side. As, at a wedding in Hoyne avenue the other evening, they were gathered around the happy couple (the ride was a widow) congratulating thiem, an oversensitive friend burst into tcars and sobbed, *~How glad 1 am ber poor dear Ar- thur is not alive to sec this dav! 1t would have broken his heart to see his wite married to some one else.” Then. she went into hysterics and ‘was removed, having cast a gloom over the com- muity. “Do you like caramels?” said she, turning er beautiful eyes upon him, and with his heart beating W2 or tnereabouts be_tripped over a simple proposition_ and said, “No, 1 can’t bear tbein, ana I'm zlad I don’t, because if I did I should be eating them all the time, and as T dow’t like them that would be very unpleas- ant.” Then he wondered in bis intmost brain whether he had said somethiog witty or only ™~Ae = qgs of himself, ana to this day cannot tell which. A puwter of the staff and line officers of the First and Second Reiments, with those of Col. Suerer’s cavalry and tbe First Battalion of in- Tantry, all of this city, will start for Springficld Monday to partivipate in the convention of military officers from sll parts of the State on Tuesday. The object of the gathering is to dis- cuss matters pertaining to_the State militia or- ganization. Tudsday evening a receptionis to be held at the Governor’s residence. A correspondent complains of the lack of system at the Emnloyment Bureau of the Youns Meu’s Christian Association as to bringing em- ployer and_employe together, and suggests ibat some large building be sccured, and an hour set when they can meet, each class of ‘workers to be kept separate. Selections could thus be easily made. He claims that this plan would reticve the office of a great many ?azy tellows who refuse to take any position except thoze of a bank clerk. Nothing of a newsy character was learned at the defunct banks yesterday. Receiver Glover was removing the. books and papers of the Central National Bank to No. 71 Dearborn strect, where lie can be found to-morrow. The ofilce fittings and furniture of the late bank were not disturbed, but several persons were sround looking at them with & view to their purchase. Allwas quict at the other banks, where the Receivers were acting under the orders of Court. ThejThird National was al- lowed tg-sculcsevcml small claims by Judge A truly prudent young man who Is paying attentions to a young woman down near Douglas Park, waen hé visits her of an evening to ask after the heslth of her respected parents ueither of whom has ever known a sick day in s or ber Jife), banes his bat on the door-knob go as to obscurc the key-hole and cautiously looks under the sofa ana behind the curtains and furpiture, while his charmer is fixing her hair and putting on & cléan pair of cutls. He says he will be banged if she can ring in a wit- ness on him, and his word is as good as hers be- fore a jury ot his unmarried countrymen. The poultry show, which is now in thorongh running order, will be contipued until Friday eveuing. An exhibit of pet dogs will be added 0t from to-morrow om, though no special dog show is_intended, the managers holding rightly that their preseot unexampled display of petfect poultry, pizeons, ete., is as attractive an exhibition as could possibly be devised. A banquet is to be held at Woodman's bakery next Wednesday evening, at which all members of the poultry raising aud admiriug fraternity are juvited 10 be present. Mr. Ward, Secretary ot tue Assoctation, will give all necessary infor- mation concerning it. At 2 meeling-of the distillers held yesterday, the Cincinnati resolutions requesting that the 14x on whisky be reduced toa firure not ex- ceeding 50 cents per gallon were unanimously adopted. The meeting informally commended the Kentucky resolutious asking for an exten- slon ot the bouding period indefinitely, and al- lowing no rebate for shrinkage after thirce years. The present bouding period is oue vear. M., J. “T. Pratt, of the Spirit and Wink Trade, was del- esated to visit Washington and confer with the House Committee on Ways and Means, snd present arguments favoring the reduetion. It is probable that he will be accompanied by Mr. H. H. Stufeldt fu his mission. Angelina (wife of our esteemed fellow-citizen, Edwin_Blauk, Esq.) bad her sister, a lively young lass of 17, come to spend a few weeks With her. Friday night, as Angelina was sitting alone in tbe parlor at dusk, her sister passed down the stairs and along the uulighted hall. Anglina thopeit it would he a Jovelv idea 10 give Der sister a scare, and, slipping out through the back parlor, flung her arm round Alice’s waist and administered a hearty squeeze. Bat Ler sister didu’t scream. or famt, or anything. She ounly said, in the 10t matter- of-fact way, “ Dou't, Edwin! Angy is in the par. lor and 1 am sure she heard you Jast night!® Edwin has slept ou the parlor-sofa for the past two nights and explains to inquirers that he got. that ed by running agaiust a door. His sister- in-law left for her home at Jackson, Mich., by the afternoon train vesterday, and Augelina declares that her (the sister's) protestations that she (the sister) knew all the time who it ‘was and just answered as she did to serve her (Angelina) right for being fealous of her (Alice) are rather more untrustworthy than the London Zelegraphs war speclals. A little coolness has sprung up between two young ladies on Calumet avenue who went to ihe Dearborn Institute together, and have, since they were praduated, been inseparable as Juno’s ewans, This is how it came about: They werc talking about the sort of husbands they would like. Said oue, ** When I marry I don’t want a smart husband. I want to have a right good time, sud eo I intend to marry the bitrirest fool I can find, and even then [ don’t know that I'll be satisfied. for I’ll keep think- {ug that perhaps there's a bigzer fool some- whiere.” 0, no,” said her friend, reassuring- 1y, “for if he was not the bigzest fool in the world he wouln't marry you, dear, you Know.” Then tney parted. The clean-shirt Democracy met vesterds) afternoon at 3 o'clock in the office of Perry Smith, corner of Washington and Dearborn streets. Henry M. Shepard presided, and J. J. Crowley was in his place as Secrctary. The new organization was reported as goiug on swim- mingiy. The following named were added to the Grand Council: E. W. Gurke, H. G. Pull- iug, William L. Newman, Join Brennan, A. B Mason, R. Hall McCormick, Aaron MeKay, R T. Studness, A.. Fuerstenberg, Bryan Don- welly, B. Schureman, M. A." LoBuy, Joseph _Sokup, M. Walsh, P.

Asa Dow was elected to the Chief Council. i A host of wooden-pavement sharks are com- ing to the surface. The streets are in bad con- dition, and_some repaving must soon be done. A hue and cry has been raised azainst Georze Wilson, Superintendent of Construction of the Public Works Department, and in the case of his enemies succcedmng fn getting him re- moved, the wooden-pavement men hope to work the wires in such a way as to get a man appofnted who will be friendiy. Msayor Heath claims to bave some pretty sound ideas on the pavement problem, and will bardly be the man to listen to riogsters. Out- side of all such influences, so far 2s is known, the mame of James K. Lake is proposed as Wilson’s successor. Mr. Lake has made a record as Superintendent of the West- Division Street Railway, and would undoubted- 1y be a good man. The Hon. Heory Strong, of this city, delivered g lecture on “ Delusion & Support to the Moral- ity of the Masses” before the Chicago Philo- sophical Soclety last evening. Therc was a large audicuce present. The epitome of the lecturer’s remarks was that the word ‘‘de- lusiou in this discussion applied espe- cially to the belief in the miraculous; all beliefs implying moral imperfection on the part of the Deily were a priori of an immoral tendeacy; this argument was confirmed by Hebrew, Pagac, aud Clristion history, and finally a religious system which fuculcaics the highest moral conduct, and teaches morality as a sine qua non, must be a suoport to the mor- ality of the m: , notwithstandiug its peeuliar theological doctrines, or its claim to authoritat- ive and authentic revelation, may be only nom- inally axcepted by its more_ intetlizent support- ers, and wholly disbelieved by other people. SURANCE. The following is from an Eastern exchange: The Ecoromical Life-Insurance Company flour- ished some years ago in Providence, R. Y. - That is, it tried to flourish, butdid not succeed, and so transferred its risks, bya kind of Ben XNoges jump, into the Kepublic, of Chicago. But the insurance official of Rhode Island, to his credit, refused to give up the $100,000 deposited with bim. and the Supreme Court of that State has finally appointed a Keceiver. Those who are in- terested can address Mr. Charles M. Merriman, Receiver, Providence, R. I It 13 to be bhoved that the daily papers will not herald this as anoth- er life-insurance failure. 1t is altogetner too stale, A TRIBONE reporter learned in reference to the above that the Republic Company reinsured the Economical in 1873, and as a part of the consideration they took an assignment of $100,- 00 of mortgages that bad been deposited by the Economical with the State Treasurer of Rhode Island, Most of the Economical policies were giten up and new ones taken in the Republic. Those that still hold the Economical poliies are claiming that the §100,000 should be divided among them. The question will have to be decided by a cours of equity. The Receiver of the Republic does not bave any opinion to cxpress about the matter. Whichever way it is decided will not make much difference to the claimants against the Recciver of the Republic. it will make the Economical polies-bulders preferred creditors, and they may get a little more 2nd they may not. ] PIRST UNITARIAN. The annual meeting of the First Unitarian Society was held at the Church of the Messiah, corner of Michigan aveuue and Twenty-third street, last evening. Thie report of the Trustees set forth that the Society had enjoyed a year of comparative pros- perity,—that the membership bad materially in- creased, the floating debt of $4.400 had Deen wiped out, and the cxpenditures had been covered by the receipts. The Treasurer’s report showed thatthe ex- penditures for the year for all purposcs, in- cluding old deficit,” bad been $17,000.55, and that he had on hund an unexpended balance of $19.51, The 1mcome pertatnine to 1877 bhad been $11,805. ich $7,000.80 had been {from pew-rents, au c expenditures had been the sawe, of which §5,000 had been for pastaplg salary. The report Iurther showed that the mortgage debt of the Society was $25.00), and the bonded debt 316,000, the latter having to be provied for the coming year, = The revort of the Lac Congregational So- ciety snowed that the receipts from April 10, 18 Dec. 81, 1577, had been $939.0, and {from the Sunday-school the report wed an increase in attendance and general prosperity. All of the reports were adovted, whereupon the_election of officers for the year was pro- ceeded with, resulting as follows: E Zynstees—A. J. Macfariand, Murry, Nelson,and Jegiah B dobmen. R Rk s, IMENT. ‘0 the Council to- s concerming the Zadig pavement, with the intention of intro- ducing the same in this city. The new patent is made by placing in iron molds a Jayer of cob- vle-stones, chinlied with gravei, and then pour- Xu%fluver the wiole melted asphalt, the result befag a brock which is claimed to be nearer per- fection than any other form of pavement ever made. It has never, so far as known, been tried in this city. . BANKRUPTCY MATTERS. Johu P. Reynolds, a_member of the firm of Reynolds, Corbett & Thomas, and of Keynolds, Reed & Co., of this city, filed Ius voluntary pe- tition yesterday in bankruptey. His secured debts are $27,195.66, and the only unsecured are some possible Hability on outstanding paper of the above firms. The assets consist of one share of stock of the Inter-Siate Industrial Ex- position, worth $40: twenty shares of stock in the Prairie Farmer Company, par value, $2,0005 and an interest in the old firm of Reynolds, Corbett & Thomas, which in November, 1574, made an assizument of all its property to James Goegin, for the benefit of its creditors. An fovoluntary petition was filed against Jeanette Zuckerman by Knowles, Cloyes & Co. on a daim for SS0451; J. S. Kirk & Coy $82.85: H. L. McNamara, $101.71; and Joseph B. Quinn, $316.33. They charge that on the Tth inst, she confessed judgment.for $1,550 in favor of Bernard Steele and others with intent to give them a preference. That she did not at that time owe them over $300, and the excess was desizned to be keps by her. Under this judgment her stock of groceries was seized. She owes about $2.000, and her assets are “worth $1,800. A rule to show cause and an in- gafust the sule of the property were Messrs. Wells & Faulkner, wholesale zrocers, filed a voluntary patition.

A3MONG TUE FLOATING GOSSIP yesterday was a rumor that the great New York dry-zoods firm of H. B. Claflin & Co. was negotfating through its attorney here, Mr. Cyrus Bentley, for the purchare of a $30,000 piece of property on which to ercct a handsome store. The possibility of snother New .York firm following the example of A. T. Stewart & Co., and coming here to compete with them and the firms which have done business here for years, was suflicient inducement to a TRIBUNE Teporter to hunt up Mr. Bentley, and ascertain just how much of sober trath there was in the rumor. 2 Well, you are wide of the mark this time,” snid Mr. Hentley. *The facts are_thes¢. I am the attorney for the Claflins, who hold a second mortirage of §40,000 on the building at the cor- ner of State and Madison strects. ab present occupied by the Wiison Sewing Machine Com- pauy. The Boyens, you will remember, put up the bufiding and leased it to the Company. They issued two mortgages on the property, one for 60,000 and the other for $40,000. The $§60.000 mortgage is now beiug foreclosed in the United States Court, and has been adver- tised for sale by the Master. The Clafins have bought the second mortzage, and thus stand in the place of the second-mortgagees, so that they control the second mortgage, and all they bave to duis to pay that first mortxage or bid up to the amount. ‘This they will do to protect themselves, and avail themselves of any value or equity in the property. They have a judg- 1ment against the Bowens, and all they make on the proverty over and above what they paid for the second mortgage represents the profit they make to apply o that judzment.” “\What witl they do with the property when they get it in their haud: +‘Qp, thev will simply hold it tor sale.” “Tnen we are not to_ have avother large New York dry-goods house here right away.” * Certainly not, as far as they are concerned. They do not_intend to establish any business here, but will simply hold the property until they can sell it to advantage.” And thus wasthe flavor of what promised to be a fine piece of news scattered to the winds. PHONETIC. AJ. STORY’S CLASS. Every night in the past week the Union League Club rooms in the Grand Pacific Hotel Luve been transformed into a spelling-school. Maps and charts of letters and words have hung around and sbout upon the walls, and o huge black-board stretches its mo- notonous length across the end of the room. The spelling has been done accord- inz to the seif-interpreted laws of sound. If the common word ‘‘cat” sounded to A as though it should be spelt “c-a-t,” then it were cmiuently fitting that it should be so spelt. 1f “k-a-t * appeared to B to be the prover thing, then B “suld be justified in so building it. That is, 1t should be remarked, after the nsaze of the Euglish language and the common- Iy-accepted modern bieroglyphics known as letters, But the spellinz which has been done there has been done after a mauner peculior to the gentleman who appeared as instructor of those wio attended. This gentleman is Mr. Charles Story, o long~ time resident of this city. He has discovered anew method—a sound “method. That is he spells by sound. To further the ends of bis new method, he has gotten up a new alphabet. Many of the letters are, in appearance aud -pro- nunciation, very like the A B C’s of childhood’s happy days, and there are others which neither resemble nor do they sound like the aforesaid pestiferous characters given unte children wherewith to wrestle. If the work “cat " were to be spelled, according to the Major's system it cowd be “spelled just oue way aud no other, and ail the laws of the Medes aond Persians, the elements of tue earth and sky, and the interposition of the Great Spirit could not alter the munper of the exercise. 1t would be “key-at’—cat. For Mr. Story’s new alpbabet has no letter “K." It has a character resembhing “K, aud it fs orouounced “kev.” Then by a convenient law of “blending * the letters ““a™ and *“t uvuite to form the sound ‘“at.” Therefore “cat ” be- comes “kev-at"—cat. There is o character representing the sound of *sh.”” So the speli- ing of such trifling words as “shin,” *shine,” “shove becomes as easy as Jalling off a log. For instance, “sb-in,” shin; *sh-ine,” shine: ‘*st-oue,” shone, ete. Perhaps it would be well to state, lest the childish mind should become coniused. that “cat” may be spelled * ka-t ”—cat ; and **shin,” ¢ shi-knee "—shin. It's easy. For instauce, the word ‘“‘companion gous like this: “ Key- om,” com; **p-an,” pan: “ye-un,” ion—com- panion. And when it is all “written out looks something like * kom-pan-yun.” T sacret of the new science lics in the alphabet. That, once mastered, leads onto glory and a com” plete mastery of the _orthiographs” of not only the English language but of all languages under H. the sun. rirst learn the characte Then “build,” “blend,” ete., to sui your- s, ‘and if you do succeed in pleasing yourself, ihie science is mastered, and the orthography of the world’s tongue is in your hand. How easy! *“Re<i,” wri; t-ing, ting: writing. The letter “R"is pronounced “re,” and the letter “ o7 is e (soft), and there is a character cailed “ing,” and so forth and so on ad infinitum. For g whole weuk Mr. Story has pounded lis system fnto the cars of an amused congreza. tion. That congregation was small the first night and smaller the last night. Last night the proceedings of the school were somewhat interrupted by some of the sentlemen present organizing a meeting in the midst of the Sre-ai—rat; “key-af,’—cat, ete, and Mr. Simeon W. Kiug was called upon to assume the guidance of the proveedings soon to follow. Mr. C. E. Wilcox was made Secretary. Thea Mr.Omar_Bushneil, Mr. Simncon W. King, and Mr. D. J. Lyons made nice little specehes, re- ferring to Mr. Story as a benefactor of the Tunan race, a man whose nanie was destived to become & housebold word and whose system was to overturn the speech and language of the world, and “unite the various vations fn a bond as strony as the principle which made “key-at” spell cat. Nations were to rise up and call him blessed. Then they presented long and care- fully prepared resolutions, which, in all serious- ness, were read and unanimously passed. They stated that the new system was 4 discovery ns great in the world of literature, science, and art, as was the application of steam in the world of mechanism. The resolutions called for the adoption of the system in the public aud private schools, ete. Mr. Story responded to the speechesand resolutions i manner that showed that he realized the fact that his efforts had received a well-merited mark of approbation. He said that for twents-one vears he had la- bored upon his system, and had iu that time forced himself to acquire the rudiments of about twenty languages. He had applied his system of plionetic spetling to each one and it is answered for one as well as for another. The closing exercise was a song setting forth the chianges which the adoption of the new system would bring about. It was sung to the tunc of “ Buy a Broom.” MR. DARKER AND IS CATTLE CONTRACT. Yesterday's TRIBUNE contained a brief state- ment in regard toaman named J. A. Darker, who was stopping at the Palmer House, and who claimed to hail from Liverpool, Eng., and to be here on a mission to contract for 2,000 head of cattle per month, to be shipped on the hoof to England. Mr. Darker was interviewed in regard to his enterprise, and he claimed to represent six very large English firms, whose names he declined to state. It took much trouble to get at Mr. . Friday evening, since ho had retired, carly, and it scemed very bard to wake him up, Mr. Darker bad several interviews with some of the Jeading stock men, and among them Mr. Isanc Waixel. To the latter he hnd telegraphed from New York, stating bis_business, and de- sired S60to pay his traveling expenses from New York to this city. This amount of money Mr. Waixel declined to advance, but he stated that Mr. Darker could come on, and if he made such a contract us he had proposed he would not find it hard to obtain his traveling expenses and a suflicient bonus, since 50 large a- deal would easily warrant it. Upon this reply, the younz man from her Majesty’s domaiu camé on and said be had a talk with Mr. Waixel, but no contract was made. Yesterdayor the day before he suggust- ed to Mr. W. that his tirm should advancehim cnough to liquicate his bill at the hotel or be~ come responsible for it. This, too, Mr. W. de~ clined to do. Having heard so much, 2 TRIBUNE reporter last cvening awain repaired to the Falmer House and’endeavored to gain an interview with the gentleman from Liverpool. In this the reporter sizmally ftailed. At 8§ oclock the newspaper man sent up a card, but mo response came to it. A littie later another was sent up 3vith a Jike result. About 10 o’clock the re- porter noain called, but Mr. Darker was darker than ever—in fact, he bad notlefta shadow behind. His room was Farlor Z, one of the choicest in the house, but no licht was visi- ble within, aud 1o response came to the iaps of the colored boy or the reporter. An hour later the regorter ugain called. He tried the door, and it was unlocked, but no sigu could be seen of Darker in the dark. The nizht-cler] of the house came up, and a brief exaw- ination showed thet tihe room contained only some time-cards and a very dirty hand- kerchief, a5 the remains of Mr. Darker’s lue- page. The key of the room lay upon the top ol the commode.” Mr. Darker bad no special bag- gageleftin the baggage-room, and if he hus gonc he has pone without the' consent of the proprietor, for there is no evidence of a settlc- mentof his bill, which amounts to about $15, as he was only about two days at the housc. These are the facts as the reporter Tound them, and if Mr. Darker bas not left for parts un- koown he will doubtless explain his sudden departure. OBITUARY. DEATH OP MRS, GEORGE W. CAMPBELL. Many friends will be saddened to learn of the death of Mrs. Eliza Campbell in tnis city on Thursday last, the 10th fnst., after a distressing iliness, and which she bore with Christian forti- tude. Mrs. Campbell was the wife of Col. George W. Campbell, one of the early residents and most prominent merchants of Galena, and who served with great credit and usefulness in the Commissary Department during the War of the Rebellfon, She was the daughter of Thomas Brady, of Saint Genevieve, Mo., and Sthe nicce of Gen. Georga W. Joues, of Dubuque, and late Senator in Congress from the State of Jowa. After the death of her father, her mother again marrying, she became the step- daughter of the Hon. John Scott, of Saint Gen- evicve, o distinguished lawyer of his time, and the first member of Congress from the Stute of Missouri. Samuel M. Wilson, Esq., one of the leaders of the San Francisco Bar, married her only sister, Miss Emily Scott, who arrived from California a few days before her death. Mrs. Campbell was born in Missouri in 1817, and married at Galena in 1835, and reared nine childrer, the oldest of whom is Wallace Camp- bell, late Colonel of the Twelith Regiment lii- nois Volunteers. A member of the Presby- terian Church for five-und-twenty years, Mrs. Campbell illustrated in her life all the virtues of wife, mother, friend, and neighbor. Warwn- Learted, geuerous, sympathetic, intelligent, she attracted to herself friends wherever she was known, and who now mourn over her death as that of o pureand noble woman, beloved and esieemed by gll who had the happiness to ow her. MRS. NARCISSA A, BARNEY, one of the early scttiers of Chicago, and & most estimable lady, died at her residence at Arline- ton Heights on the 8th of this month. She was in her 79th year at the time of her death, and retained, up to her last. sickness, eutire posses- sion of her mental faculties, and a remarkably clear recollection ot the interesting scenes and events through which she bad passed. An in- teresting account of her journey to this city in 1833, her connection with the First Presbyterian Church, and ber deseription of the city of that carly day, was published by the Rev. Arthur Mitchell Some years ago. She was boru in Charlotte, Vt., Nov. 14, 1799. Her father, Asa Barnes, aud her mother were both from Connecticut, aud through the latter she drew her descent from Gev. Yale, the founder of Yale College, and through him she traced it back to Edmund Bonner, Bishop of London under Queen Mary. In the summner of 1833 she started for this city i a party of eleven persons, and accom- plished the journey by land in six weeks, dis- tancing those of the party who traveled by wa- ter. Her first home in the city was in one of the four houses existing at that time on the West Side. This dwelling, which was owned by her brother, Jobn Barnes, was a building twen- ty feet by fourteen in size, and accommodated fourteen people that winter. Tu Jabuary, 1834, the First Presbyterian Church dedicated their first buildiog, woich stood at that time on Clark, petween Lake sod Randolph streets. She united with this church by letter, and retained her counection with it Ior twenty-six years. 1In 184 she was married to Mr. John Barney, a gentleman prominent in Masoury, and who had been largely instrumental in its re-cstab- lishment after the Morgan controversy had subsided. Mr. Barney died in 1347, and Mrs. Barney then went to live with her brother at Elk Grove, in this county. In 1560 she built her house at the then Village of Dunton, and there she resided to the time of her death. Al- ways a consistent and active member of the Presbyterian Church, she took decp interest in its welfare, contributiug liberally to its sup- port aud to objects of churity. A large concourse of her’ acquaintances and fricnds attended the funeral services, which were conducted by her pastor, the Rev. W. Barthotome, in the Presdyterian Church of Arlington Heights. Her loss will be deeply felt by all who knew ber. MISSING. THIS TIME IT I3 A. W. LOCKE, dealer in wonder-boxes, embossed pictares, wem vhotograpls, and decalcomania,—honest enough goods, and very pretty, but the trouble is that the orders were very scidom filled. Locke was, until six months ago, all right, and when associated Wwith another carried out his agrecments with those in the country who had sufficient confidence to send in money. The Dartnership, however, was dissolved, and, after a great deal of dunning, he settled up for most of what he owed. He rented a room last August in the Dore Building, corner of State and Madison streets, and started in for bimself. He had a few goods at the outset, and Increased his stock by purchases from Willlam Holmes & Co. They have been trying ever since to get their moncy, but bave twiled. He paid bis rent for three months re- luctantly, and then not at all. During Decem- ber he quietly removed most of bis stock, and in the first part of the present month vacated bis rooms, owing the owner of the building $80. The agents seized what remained, including the show-cases, but it turned out that the latter bad been obtained ou tick. Among the articles captured were about 1,000 postal-cards, Yrritten by persons in all parts of the country, asking for the ioods ordered, or their money. Locke ad- vertised extensively in the East and South, and caugnt lots of gudzeons. From the number of complaints, it would seem that he pocketed about everything that came in. To one man he said his receipts were $150 2 day. 1o another e said he was losing 34 a day. The former was ‘probabty correct, although he may have exag- gerated, since he was 4 most notorious liar. The postal-cards stated that the writers had sent from 25 cents to $5, and this shows that his gains must have been lurge, Followwg are &pecimens of them: GENEVA LAKE.—\Why do you not il my order?™1 have the return receipt that the letter arrived in Chicago. Please fill the order or return the money. Derve, Tk, Dec. 15.~I sent for 250 decol- comania about three weeks azo, and bave not re- ceived them yet. Send them or the money before long, if you are honest enougn. 1f mot keep, and you will'only be a quarter better off. KINDERNOOK, N. Y.—This is the fourth time I have written you in regard to your not sending me your wonder-books for which I sent you the money five weeks azo. 1t you do not send me either the books or return the money by return mail, [ will write to the Independent, 1n which 1 saw your card, o statement of the case. These swindled peopic have no remedy. Locke bas their money in his pocket, but where he is no one seems toknow. He did live at No. 2L Lexinegton avenue. Inquiry there for him Wwas fruitless. He bad lete. It is known that he recently sent his family East, and, while he was seen here within a week, he doubtless in- tends tollowing them. He has many Chicago creditors, but they have about given up hoves of collecting anything. His dishonest carcer was a short though profitable one. Next! SECRET SOCIETIES. ELECTIONS AND INSTALLATIONS.

The North-Town Collector yesterday turned §11,000 into the County Treasurer. This is the first of the season. W. M. Dee, a contractor, tried to escape the pestering of bis creditors yesterday in the Coun- ty Court under the Insolvept act. - The Court refused his petition, and caused an order to be made which allows his creditors to nawme an Assignee. The sub-Committee appointed to look after Lieb's accounts did nothing yesterday. When it gets Gown to work it would not be amiss if it ‘would pay special attention to the folio work charged for iu bis late report, even to the ex- tent of measuring the same. The Judges of the Circuit Court met yester- day afternoon and agreed to allow the Couaty Clerk the clerks he asked for, 2ll of whom have been at work since the chauge in the office. The only increase in the employes is in the new de- partment of statistics, where s deputy and as- sistant are allowed. Architect Egan visited Lemont yesterday to look at the progress of the stone-cutting for the Court-House, With a_view to arriving at the aata upon which to give Walker an estimate. He found all of Waiker’s represcatations as to york done to be extravagaot, and instead of having the sccond story cut not more than half was doue, and_instead of his. employing 260 meu he was actually employing about seventy- five, and instead of bis having enough stone quarrica to complete the buildiuz he had scarcely enoush to complete the second story. He will 2s a result of his visit allow Walker'a small estimute, which will be handed in to- MOTTOw. IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS. The Committee on Public Charities had an extended mecting yesterday, in which numerous matters affecting thu_lpublic interest were dis- cussed at length. Tne conclusions resched were as follows: The Committee will report to the Board recommendiug that an additional As- sistant Physician be allowed at the Insane Asy- lum; that-the Warden and Medical Superin- tendent there be the judaes of. the competeney and fitness of their subordinates, aud have the employing and discharging of them; that here- after wonthly instcad of quarterly reports be sent to the Board; aud that a school-house be erectedon the County Farm,the labor to be per- formed by the paupers. If the recommenda- tious are_coucurred in by the Board, Commis- sioner Burling will supply the drawings for the school-house without cost, und the bouse now used for school purposes will be made a pest- house. ) 3 TIE DOME J0B, The Sub-Committce appointed to_look into the estimate of §25,000 in fayor of Sexton on the Court-House work was to huve met yester- day, but didnot. The ustimate in question is for work done on the dome, upon which about $§10,000 has already been paid, notwithstanding other builders were anxious to get the entire work for $15.000. The reason the late estimate is to be looked into, it appears, is that the Building Committee vrivately contracted with Sexton to do the cut-stone work on the dome after having previously ordered the entire work done by measurement. The Board knew noth- ing of the action of the Committee fn the premises at the time, and the present Board, taking the position that the Committee had no sush authority, proposcs to look intothe matter of prices allowed. The dome started out as a steal, has been nurtured as such, and when torn down, s it probably will be, the swindle will only be made the more apparent. When the work was first couceived it was alloted to Sexton, and he has clunz to it with the same tenacity that the old crowd clung to him and still cling to himn. As far as it has gone it has cost §65,000. MARRIAGES. ‘MCCOMAS—HOLSEY—At the home of the bride, Jaz, 10, by the Rev. Sharles iall Everest, Wintield Seoit McComas nd Miss Ella M.
