CHICAGO AREAD. They bad a baby-show about two weeks ago in a certain llinois town, with the usual scquel, to- wit: the manager was called home between two days to the dying-bed of his_only mother, and the maternal parents of 117 babies were ont of pocket the amount of thelr car-fare and the prizes they were confident of winming. 'T'a this same town ha removed, only u few weeks before, 8 beautifuland wealthy ‘girl, formerly a resident of Rochester, N. Y,. who had two admirers, one {rom Chicago, one from $t. Lo The Chicago man was wise and the §t. Lonis man foolieh, as the Lible says, and the reader will foon find out. Both of the Jovers took it into their heads to visit their inamorata at the sawme time, and when the Chicago man got up to the house he found the St. Louis man in the parlor, and, after a very constrained half-hour, he withdrew. ' Beaten? Not much. He went down to the Liotel at which both of them were putting up, bad a small_bottle with the clerk, and then casually luoked st the register, **Hallor™ he said, with well-feizned surprisc, 3s he pointcd fo the St. Louis mon's name: °‘so he's here. He'wa bully fellow. Sharp as a rat-trap. Business from the word go, but €ome of them mothers'll get him yer.” There were about seven loungers in the ofiice, and they all pricked up their cars atthe word *‘mothers.” ¢*Ya-as. he scemed a Ercl:lynlcu sort of o duck,” said the clerk: **what busincss Is heint" *‘Don'tyou know!™ said the Chicago man, with the most natural air of astonishment in the world; **why he's the head organizer and Lizh muck-a-muck of all these baby-shows that you hear about. Itellyou he's old business—that's what_he is. Coinming money just because, vou sec, it's take in all the time and never pay out.” At this moment about six of the seven lawyers left the office with an air of determination upon their features, and the Chicago man took acigar and went out to contémplate the beauties of Nature. It was about 11 o'clock when he hapnened to pass near the honsc of bis prospective father-in-law and saw his beloved and the servant girl standing on the front piszza in attitudes of suspensc. Mak- ing himself known he lastily msked ~what was the mattel 0, llarold,” eaid the young woman, **did you hear that awful nojsea fow minutesago? **What noise, dearcet?” he asked. adroitly passing his protecting arm around hertrembling waist, 'O, that noise,” she eaid, “vas if therc was an earthquake ina tinsmith's shop, and then suddenly all the girls in five hun- dred oarding-echools thought therc Were mien ander the beds. What can it bet" **0, we will soon find out.” eaid the Chicago man, soothingly, andin a few minates they did, for they saw a moumful proccesion filing past. The six lounzers wwhom the Chicago man had scen in the hotel vffice headed it, bearing a fence-rall on which, maguifi- cently attired in a suit of tar cut biag. and trimmed with feathers, was—the St. Louls lover. Round him thronzed a howling, hooting mob, while about cichty-five women, each bearing in her arms 8 baby, twins, or triplets, surged about tho outskirts’ and oifered fo “eat his liver without amy Worcester- shire sauce. After the hideous procession had passed by the young =irl timidly asked the Chicago man what it all meant—whether it was not all a dreadful dream. -+ Would to Heaven it were!" he cried, fervently, **for it is not meet that your in- nocence shonld be shocked by such scenes s these!” “**What do_yon mean?” she asked. “+Mean?" said he; **why. that that St. Louis man was a viper who would fain have cherished himeelf in your bosom, but be sure his sins have fonnd him oni.” *‘But those women,—those babics?’ she said. **Precisely.” said the Chicago man, tuking another reef in his arm; **they are all his victimd. Deceived by his promiscs of love snd fdelity, romises which perhaps the odious reptile may fiave ventured to breathe o you. they yielded to tho tempter. They fell. ~The “sated de- ceiver scorned ond mocked them, and mow they have, with their unhappy babes, tracked the deceiver here, and by the recital ‘of their \rongs moved the populace to venzesnce. O, Alice; that cver such a flend shonld have aspired 10 your hand and neart, and the property left vou 10 your own rizht by your uncle Albert. My blood Doilsat the thonght. Shall I pnrsue the caitil and shed his hieart's blood" **Nay. Harold,” she replied softiy: **let us leave him to his conscience and the crowd: I guess they can take care of him s casy as falling off alog. And won't you come in? My father would be very glad to see You, only he is in San Francisco.” He went in. Who could resist that pleading voice? The ceremony takes place next week, €0 €oon as the old man can et back from the Pacific Slope, and long before the St. Louis rival will have gotten half the tar off of him. As usual, Chicago is ahead. MARINE ENGINEERS.

As a rospectable and_respected banker of this city was a couple of nizhts ago walking home from the care, he met a bagzard and desperate-looking nan at 4 sonely corner, and discovered that he way one of the former employesof the bank, discharzed gome monthe before. ** Wh—what do you want#" Rervously inquired the banker. — **‘Times, $id the ather, in a Loarse, changad voice, **times ‘ave gone very hard with inc since you gave me he . 0., and I have not tasted whisky, lct_alone Dread, for forty-seven hours. lam a' desperate man, ané only one coarse remains to me.

A sad event has cast agloom over the commu- ity in the vicinity of @ certain semi-suburban charch on the West Side. A voung clergyman, recently graduated, had been {nyited to preside over its destinies, and one of the Jeading members of the congregation zave a little tea-party in honor of the youuz clerryman's arrival. Among the guests were an elderly maiden of between 47 sum- mers, who Las had grave donbts about all minis- fcrs ever since the Leccher scandal broke out, not to mention the fact that she reards all modern young men with suepicion and hatred becanse. of 1he Iack of taste of thoee of a previous generation: alko, a lonz-limbed youns man, into whom enough evil spinte bad cntered 10 get 'up 3 whole berd of gwine in_bueiness. A= the fates would have it, the clderly meciden was placed opposite the cle ;n and (he imichicvons young man. forming the apex of a triangle of whick they were the basc. Shortly after the festal meal had been beeun the wicked youns man reached ‘across with his long left leg, and gently, tnt firm- 1y,_trod upon the elderly maiden’s toc; then he quietly and quickly withdrew his foot and asked The Jady beside him 1f she did not think that the Home Department in Tus TRIBUNE was bally. She said it was 100 nice for anything, and he, look- fnzup, wae surprsed to zce the elderly maiden Jooking deggers—nay, reaping-machines and scimitars—at_ the modest young clergyman, who, disturbed” at these unaccountable attentions, red- Soned Jike a whole bouquet of roses. However, Tnatlers were quicted by the host's asking the cler- ifhe belioyed there was a——you know, 37d a few minates later the long-limbed young map availed himself of a moment when the elderls miden bad just finished a neat spcech supporting the young minister's position to step_on_her toc n. The efiect was clectrical. 'She launched 3 glance tbat wonld have melted an ice- e an big as a St. Louls irl's foot at the clerey- man and aelivered a frantic lack under the table.

His lezal abilities were of the highest order, and had brought forth this noblc estimate from Wirt Dexter, a distinguished member of the Chicago Bur: *-Stephen Sibley had the clearest mind and the purest heart of any man I have ever known, and I never consalted him without fecling that I bad been benedted.” 1lis mind was o uc- tive and comprehensive, if fact, that it absorbed all his physical maturc. Others had acted; he thought. Others hud gained victorics by appeals and dashes of elogicnco; he, by reticence, sagacity. clearness, method, system, and order, ilis ‘bearing as & man, acitizen, and a friend, had been such as to win for him the cstcem of all that knew him. Literars in Dis tastes, temperate in his habite, frugal in bis living, cxemplary in sll Dbis conduct, ¢nvious of mone, churitable” toward all, he had found the way 10 many hearts who would sincerely mourn his loss. Other members of the Bar, as well as Judme Mitchell himself, in ordering the resolutions and the remarks of Mr. Lrown spread upon the rec- ords, expressed their respect and sdmtration for 1he late Mr. Sibley's life and character. . TWELFTH S8TREET VIADUCT. At the Council meeting Monday a petition signed by eome of the leading property-holders of the South and West Sides, including such men ss Judge Otig, Sol A. Smith, Mahlon D. Ogden, and others, wiil be presented. The petition calls at- tention to the imporiance of the immediate con- struction of a vinduct over the ruilroaa-tracks of the Lake Shore & Michizan Southern, and Chicago, Tock Island & Pacific Railroads on Tiwelfth street, between Clark and the ‘Chicago River. In the opinion of the petitioners, this improvement would make Twelfth strect the most important thoraugh- farc, east and west, south of Madison strect, and would provide the most convenient out- let for_travel from the South Sige to the West Side depots. It is claimed tbat at present large numbers of vehicles arc obliged to ecek the more crowded bridges in the heart of the city on account of the danger incurred in crossing the tracks on Twelfth street, in order to reach points to which the proposed viaduct wonld give easy and safe access; ‘tnat the improvement would relieve the crowded condition of the bridges further down-fown, and accommodate a larzer number of people than any other of the kind: that large amounts of moncy have lutely been expended on viaducts in the West Division, while none has gone to the South Division; that there is nota bridge south of Van Baren sirect, the access 1o which is not dangerous on uccount of these railrosd tracks; and lastly, that, as Twelfth street is the most central thoronghfare, east and west, on the South Side, south of Madi- son street, the propozed improvement would be of the most value to the city. The canvenience of the railroad companies would be eo greatly copeulted by having tne viaduct over Tiwelfth streer, thus giving them the nuobstructed use of their tracks at that point, that they will donbtless be willing to pay for the superstracture, the city, of conrfe, paying for the appronch. Since it woll connect directly with the bridzc, a3 do the maducts at Madison, Adams. etc., the cost” would mot be very great; certainly not' great in comparison with the value of the improvement. THE SOUTH TOWX. Soutb-Town Collector Kimball submitted, yes- terday, his bond in the penal sum of $12,000,000. It is signed by the following gentlemen Z Leiter, B. P. Hutchinzon, Marshall Field, N.

ANOTHER SEIZURE. A RACE OVER THE PRAIRIE. Yesterday evening the Internal Revenme won another victory. Special Agent Meyer, Chief Deputy-Collector- Somerville, Deputics Springer and Phelps, and Deputy 3larshal Stillwell were out on a littic tour of inspection. It is their habit to be perpetualiy prowling aronnd in out-of-the-way parts of the city for the purposc of catching offend- ers, and descending at the most unexpected times and in the most unlooked-for ways upon gentle- men who do business by moonlight. It was about 6 o'clock, and they were near the corner of North ond Clyboarne avenues, when they noticed a wagon driviog.along the first-named street in the direction of the briage. ~ Although there was nothing unuenal or improper o a team _being there at that hour, yetsome instinctor other ‘moved a conple of the party, who were standing r:: %::c:me&mk onnthe !Fnlhhllde of the avenue, on the parties in the wagon todrive u towards them. The latter did Ang.o There wug light shining from the saloon, which enabled Mr. Springer, Who was nrarest the teainsicr, 10 see and be seen: No sooner: had they exchanged a glance than Springer knew his'man, and the man probably knew Spninger, for he jumped from his seat and rushed off across the prairic. Springer reached out for the other man, and just had his band on him when he jumpcd and ran Of after his associnte. Since the horses showed signs of starting, Springer attended to that, while the other members of tne party sctout in pursuit of the flying drivers, and, when the Jatter would not Dalt, fired at them repentedly, but probably with- out 'success. I s sund thatsome extraordinary running was done across that rough, wet ground which forms the sorthern end of Goose Island, and that Deputy-Marshall Stillwell sigualized himself, having, during ten minutes' active exertion, run fully an eizhth of a mile. and blown "off more steam than a Red River stern-whecler. Tt was utterly dack, the ground was abomina- ble and unfamiliar to the pursuers, and to these cauges their temporary failurc to make any arrests isdue. Onan examination of the wagon—an ex- press team. but_apparently un unlicensed oue— they found thut it contained a barrel, forty gal- Jous of highwincs, 150 proof, mude from grain, indicating that the dtill in which it was manufac- tured is of a superior quality to most of thoselittle concerns which they are picking up every day, the #pirits produced by wlilch are very “low proof. Since it is not likely thut the owners of the team Will turn up, the property will doubtless be confis- cated by the Revenud oflice and uscd for the frans- portation of its oflicers from place to place. THE BERRY ORDINANCE. TIE FRUIT COMMISSION MERCHANTS of South Water street held a special meeting at 3:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon in the Produce Exchange, corner of LaSalle and Souta Water streets. Mr. N, W.

The Chair stated that the object of the mecting was to accure the enactment of a more stringent ware- house law by the Legislature of lowa, now in session. 'The matter was onc of equal interest to shippers desiring an_advance on graln in ware- houses ot cribs and the receivers in Chicago. ~ * Mr. Albert Morse moved that acommittee of three be appointed to draft a bill for presentation to the Towa Legslatare to_promote the security of commercial transactions by regulating the issue, negotiability, and transfer of bills of lading and warchouse receipts, The motion prevailed, and Mesars, o E.

THE COUNTY BUILDING. Judge Meallister will decide the West Park case at the City-Hall to-morrow. The case of Miss Alvina McKee will ve called for trial in the Criminal Court to-morrow. Most of the Commissioners went to Lemont yes- terday, on the invitatlon of Walker. They went presumably to look at the progress of the Court- Tiouse work, and are cxpected to give the con- tractor a liberal cstimate in a few days, They were royally received and entertained, and are expected to remember it. In the Cruminal Court, the jury in the case of Eddie Vine and John Perry, on trial for burzlary, found a verdict of guilty, and they were given two vears cach in the Penitentiary, Jobn Cunning- I robbery. was gentenced to two years, and Nick Grayhill. for the same offense, \was iucky cnougi to get off with one ear.

Al of the polnts made for the defendant by Iis counsel were overruled except one in reference to the form of the verdict, upon which the Conrt asked for anthorities and time to deliberate. Eager was frightened, evidently, throuzhout the armument, and if he ¢ecapes Joliec it will be o close call.

TIHE INSANE-ASYLUM ROW. The fight at the Insane Asyhm is nnabated, and the trife has gonc o far as to create a suspicion that tue end sought {8 the removal of Dr. Spray. The Doctor is known to have very few friends in the Board, for the reason that he has disappointed them by attempting to 1nangnrate eundry reforms. 1f they haa 1t in their power they would remove him at once, for they are hounded on by Lawless and Petess on all occasions, and have rohigher am- bition than to dispose of him.

On the otlier band,§ Dr. Spray is backed by the respectable clement of the Board, and they will stand oy him. as will alao the public. 1t is to be hoped that he wili not relent in carrying ont of waatever he may concerve to be to The public interest, and it is not believed that he will, let the result'be what it may. MORE OF LIEB. The casc of Lieb, in an action 10 comnel him fo turn over o s successor certain files of pager in Tis possession said to_belons to the connty, came up in the Zounty Court yesterdsy morning. Lieb was present, and wis surrounded by & pair of legal luminaries. They objected to the petition in the case becanse of jts form, and further, becanse the property sonzht tobe récor- ered was not # part of the files of the Court, hence tae Court had no juriediction and the respondent could not be held for contempt. Judge Wallace, for the county, took the contrary wiew, bat the Court was inclined to sustain the position of the respondent’s attorneys, and calied upon the plain- 4iff toso awend the petition that' the properiy mizhit be made_to appear as appertaining to the Court. Judge Wallace responded thae he” did not fhink the petition could be eo amended as to meet the Court's objectious, and asked the dismiseal of the cause, which was cone. Criminal procecdines will now 'be commenced against Licb, and beforc he gets through he will heartily wish that he Bad kept his word of u few days azn when he promised the Finance Committee to bring the property back. The newspapers, how- ever, arc ot thic only proveriy missing, for it was yesterday made public that Vol. 1of the Asses- sor's books, personal property, for North Chicago, could not be found, ani bad never been turned over. The absence of this book is likely to lead to considerable: tronble in the collection of taxes on the North Side, ana will be ured as n pretaxt for tax-tignting. Its }oss is a sad commentary on Lieo's anasement. and after all It is not absolutely core tain that he has cxcaped action for contempt. That he will be followed criminally on balf a dozen chiarges there is scarcely a doubt. and Mr. Kloske will 1ot 4o bis duty if e fails to demand an expla- nation of the whercabouts of tne missing book re- ferred to. 1t is yaluavie, and without it for refer- ence there must be tronbie. THE CITY-HALL The Mayor and the Corporation Counsel have gone off duck-hunting, and will be absent about a week. - The receipts of the Treasurer were: From the water office, $2,180.18; City Collector, $060.80; Comptroller, $100.91; West” Town: Collector, $15,318.08. ‘ The only case of a contagious discasc reported yesterdiy was one of varioloid, at No. 03 Forest avenue. Only $100 were taken in for licenscs,—a very dull day: but the whole of the week was dull in this respect. Taere were only 130 deaths last week, a de- crease of sisteen compared with the previons week. . The number of cases, however, of diph- theria bas increased. The Comptroller issued 6 per cent roventie war- Tanis amounting to §2,300. There were cighteen of them. all for emall amounts. Peoplc whe have $100 or $200 ahead cannot find a better investment. Supt. Batrett intends recommending the employ- ment of regular telegraph operators at the police atations in order o cxpedite the receiving and sending of messazes.

Barrett's recommendations were carricd out, would be the best in the country, if not in the world. ~ Its only defect is the use of dials for potice business. SUBURBAN. PAKK RIDGE. The revival is making progress. Mecctings con- tinne to be herd every evening in the M. E. Church. Thus far the church nembers seem to be reaping mostof the benefits, thouzh some considerable in- terest is being manifested among the unconverted. The Trostees would confer a favor on the congre- gatlons if they would chaage the place of holding meetings from the lecture-room to the main auditorium, which is better ventilated and every way more comfortable and attractive. At the close of the Friday evening service, the pastor requested the officers of the church to meet him to consider the case of a certain young man who has. been in the habit of makng disturbance in the mectings, and ascertain if it proceeded from ignorance or pure cussedness. A little muscalur * Christianity applicd to the disturber of public worship would have a better effect than a volume of sertnons. An attempt to enter Uobow's siore was made F day cvening. Theburalars, whenin theact of prving open a window, were discovered, but succceded in making their escape. The school-house was en- tered o few everings ago, end the larze illustrated edition of Webster's Dictionary stolen, being the second one which has been taken thence by theft. The attempt at burglary is attributed to 2 myste- rious-looking tramp, who has been hovering about the village for several daye, makiug inquiries con- cerninz the estimated iwealth in gold, silver, and precions stones of the inhabitants. HYDE PARK. A regulur meeting of the Trustees was held yes- terday nfternoon at which all were prescot. The Drainage Committee reported adversely on giving J. K.
