Mr. Leonara Swett has returned from New York, and :h:! undertaken the task of explaining that in- (l.‘rl'vxe“' v-vh(ch he had. or did not have, with 2 man in New York. Inthe New York Star, a conple of weeks ago, it was alleged that Mr. Swett, in couvenation with a former resident of Chicago, declared that nineteen-twentieths of Ch]flgo"l business men were bankrapt: that real estate was not worth 10 e’" cent of the valvation of & few years azo, and that evy Zemmition bow-wows. ) L28 Bad gone to the A rcporter called yesterdsy aflernoon at Mr. e Swett's office to ask that gentleman what he bad to say. Mr. Swett came outof his private room, bear- inz in lus hand two sheets of rongh paver. “+Yea,” said he, **you ate from iz Thisuxz. T nave got an interview right here all resdy written out for you, for I mean o have it exact this time." And with that r. Swett read to the reporter the following: To the Editor af The Tridbune.

No_reporter asked me such questions ot any questions, and I i not ive those or any otner answers. That is 211 1 have to ay.™ Mr. Swett then instructed a clerk to copy the forcgoing document and haud it to_the reporter. With this he departed, and, a8 he refused o say apythiny morc, the reporter did the same. Tt° will - be readily scen that the jssue has been cleverly = evaded. No one has ever said that Mr, Swelt told & roporter of the New York sar so and so, but it has been al- Teged that he said certain thinzs to an acquatnt- ance of his own, \who gave it away to the reporter. On this point Mr. Swert declines to talk.

The jury in the Gaze case found a verdict yes- terday morning in favor of the city. Corporation Counsel Bonfield and Frank Adams were in Court, but Gage's attorneys were not prescnt, and a delay of nearly balf an hour encued until they could be gent for. Avont half-past 10 Messrs. Campbell and Jewett arrived, and the jury then came in with the following verdict: We, the Jury, Sod for the plalntIft. and find the de- fendants, David A. Gage, William 1. Tucker, Albert Crosby, John B. sherman, James I McVicker, and Nathanfe1 P, Wiider, to owe and be fndebted unto the ald plafntiff in tne sum of $1,000,000, sud we asscss the damuges agpalnst sald defendants st the sum of $507 53, F. LANGENFELD, Foreman. Mr. Campbell then made a motion for B new trinl, which will probably be arxuea in a week or two, and the excitement was over. 1t seemed to be the general expectation that the city would gel a verdice under the rulings of the Judge, but it Jooked rather dublous after the jury had been ont nine bours without sgreeing. They went out abunt 1 o'clock Friday aftermoon, and the Judge Toft word that if they agreed before 11p, m. he should be sent for. At the first ballot they stood 8 10+ in faver of che city, but they soon ranzed on the city’s ;ide, ana the only discussion then was a3 to the amount. x ‘The bill as made out by the city's counsel was as follows: Awmountof default since Dec. laterest to date, at 8 per cent.. of cours, creDITS.

At tirst it scemed asthough the jury had made a mistake in toeir verdict, but it was soon discover- ©d that they declined to allow any interest to the city on the original deficiency. Between 9 and 10 o'clock Friday evening the jury balloted every fifteen minutes, but at 10 p. m. thcy reported that there was no prospect of agreeing, and those whe were anxiously waiting for the verdict went home. Whether there was any reai dispute, or whether tho jury were fizuring for an extra duy's pay, is not known, but they evidently took things very quict- 1y, and evinced no haste to get through, After the verdict was given there was'natarally o trustee. pleasent sile remmion in the Corpora- Ton Counsel's oflice, and _congratulations were in order. MNr. Bonfleld and - Mr. Adums were in the best off epirits, and they de- serve success for such a Jegal victors. Sidney Smith was not present, but evinced his zatisfaction when the news was told hiim in bis oftice. He was connected with the suit from the beginning, and certatnly also deserves to bave a chief partin the triumph, But, now that a verdict bas been obtained, the troudie is far from being over, 'The case must yat go throngh the Appellate and Snpreme Courts, dnd §owil) probably e two vears before o final decision 18 rendered, even if both Courts afirm the present decision. if the case bo reversed it will be proba- bly another five years of waiting. THE WEST PARKS. ALL SERENE. There was quict yesterday on the battle-feld of the West Park Board. Aftera storm there always comes a calm, and after Friday afternoon’s matince the curtain went down upon only the frst act, which, 10 eay the least, was rather more exciting than the most sanguino anticipated, and drew o very large and appreciative audience. At abont 9 o'clock the new President, Mr. Witlard Woodard, made his appearsnce at -the office of the Poara, southwest corner of Halsted and Washington strects. Messts, Clark Lipe, C. C. P. Holden and Adolph Muns were there. Mr. Woodard was not very kindly receivea by Mr. Holden, who was not atall chary of his compli- ‘ments, and dietributed them freely. There was copsiderable talk, but Mr. Woodard refrained from showing any fecling. The first Commis- sioner that Tox TrIBUNE reporler met was Mr. Muus. Thatgentleman felt ss though he had been unfairly and unkindly treated. e said that in all bis lfe in Chicago n¢ had never wronged any man, and never did a dishonest. act. The voting him out of the office of Anditor 8o peremptorily he 100k tobe an impatation upon his character. ‘Clark Lipe took things coolly. He said: “‘Yon cin say we are in possession. and we pro- pose to stay until the conrt decides otherwise. ™ ““Then you propose to run the machine?™ eaid the reporter. B <+ Certainly, " replied Mr. Lipe. +*But supposc you have no money " «“We are herg, and | guess we'll stay." 0 whom will the Town Collector "pay his col- lections ™ T\ guess he knaws hisbusiness, and he'll do as the conrts say.

" **Then LY that time you will koow what you will do?* < **Probably. You can say that we are here, and propose ta stay antil the courts decide otherwise." *+*What aboit the other organization t+Idon't know. They arc not in possession set. *Will they get in?" ++Not if I can help it.” Robert McChesney. the new Secretary, made bis aupearance about 10 'clock to make A FORMAL DEMAND on Secretarv Millard for the vooks and papere. When Mr. Millard left Friday nizht he was scen to take a strees-car, but since that time he hasnot been Licard from, and it is said that he lias gone to that Kansas farm of his, taking the safes and vanlt combinations with him. Slowever, Mr. McChes- ney failed to place his hand on Alden C. Millard yesterday. 5 ~There {8 gowng 10 be no quarrel with me,” said Mr. McChesncy to dir. Lipe. ¥1\What do you mean?" asked that gentleman, +41'mean that I don't want any trouble, ™ replied the new Secretars. : ““That s sl right, " replied Mr. Lipe. 1 want to formally notify, you know—" Do 33 vou please, " s3id Mr. Lipe agafn, **we won't recoznise you. You can send a3 notice if you like.” And there the demand busincss ended. The four new Commissioners were_quiet yester- v. They had no plan matured that they would divalge, but it is very certain that they will de- mand the books and papers to-morrow or next day. Access to the safes and vaalts cannot be re- fuscd, they hold. to them, as Commissioners, and they propose to exercise their authority. Should possession be refused, however, there will e o demsnd made by the torec geotle- men whose position fs mot _ com- tested, and they will' enforce it by process of law, if necessary. They say that they are for cconomy. There arc now outstanding over £50,000 in nnpaid youchers, being a floating ia- devtedness. The reform members want to eave all unnecessary expenditure. They have already lopped off 55,300 in salaries of President and Sec- retary, and shout $3.000 per year for logal ex- penses, Col. Bennett, one of the Commiasiouers, proposes to act as attorney for the Board, free of charge, since that portion of the work s now ex- ceedingly small and docs not need a salaried at- tion, and matters will stand in statu quo anull to- morrow. TOWN-COLLECTOR HOFFMAN " eaid that he bad been notified by letier of Triday night's action, and he proposes to pay no monevy over to tho West Park Board until the conrts de- cide whoare the legally-elected officers. 1o has now about $7,000 of West Park taxex in his hands, which be proposes to freeze to until he Knows who is to recelve It. County-Treasurer MeCren eaid that be would hold on'lo auy West Park cash that might come into his hands, smce the courts were to determine which was the'lesal organization. He was for re- trenching, and shat was what he would figt for. The action of the hold-ons Friday aflernoen st the meeting of the West Park Bosrd has called out an earnest protest from the tas-payers. They ure opposed to Ifolden, and yesterday a call far 2 bub- lic meetng was circulailng to_protest against the action of Lipe, Hoiden, Millard, aud Muus, and to request them to_accedc to the wishes of the people who pay the West Park taxes, and to step down and our.” The meeting will probably be held Wednesday or Thureday evemng in the West-End Opera-llouse, on Magison strect.” It is understood that Col. Prait is willing to contribute the use of his hail rent free. ‘That the meeting will be held there is no douot, as the rieht kind of men huve hold of the matter, and they propose fo aive Reform Commissioners s good, moral backl which shail be felt.

Tag-Fating Balked by Legislative Enactment. The City Must in Future Pay as It Goes. How the Scason of Lent Affects All Classes. & Mr. James O’Neill and “A Cele- brated Case.” Miss Alice Harrison and Tom Keene Coming to Chicago. Special Correspondence of The Tribune. Sax Fraxcisco, March 9.—Our municipality is at a dead-lock. A bill passed the Legislature Tast weel which provides that the public funds be divided in twelve equal parts, and that the cxpendilures of any onc month shall pot ew~ croach upon those of another. In other words, the city Is to pay cash as it gocs, and to contract Do debts. “ The nesw idea is met with marked disfavor by the Supervisors. They came together in solemn council on Monday evening for their usual meet- ing, but no business was transacted. They re- ported the munitipal wheels to be so clogeed by fmpecuniosity as to impede all progress. They then adjourned for four weeks. They trusted to have the obnoxious law re- pealed within that time. To their great dis~ comfiture, however, they find the law approved by press and people, and sce notbing for them- gelves but to scramble alongz with the onc- twelfth divislon as comfortably as may be. Such an arranzement makes a Dead-Seaspole of a Supervisorsbip. The author of this law is Mr. Frank McCop- pin, a gentleman with an exceedlagly checkered political carcer. Although he has been Magor of San Fruncisco, he has achicved such a num- ber of political failures as to be really remark- able. His facility for making bimself uupopular with the masses can be estimatea by his present attitude. ‘On Monday night the Supervisors broke up their mecting with an expression of unguali- fied disapproval of him aud his measnres. ~ On Taursday evening the Germans held an indig- nation meeting to condern his bill, which abolishes the study of foreign languages in the public schools. Every day there is a growl azainst him by the non-taxpavers, on tha score of his bUil, not yet assed, which opens a broad boulevard from tarkes street—our broadest thorouzhfare, and Yet to be our. business centre—to the Golden- Gate Park. As the unpopular Senator has a way of eet- ting his bills passed, we shall grabnl)ly have our voulevard, notwithstanding the remonstrances of the men whose constant cry is taxes. They ery the jouder when they have never paid any taxes in their lives but poll-tax. “I'heir hope now lies in the fact that the truculent Scnator has pretty nearly bad his fling. The legislative session will scon come to 3 close. THE LENTEN SEASON. It is, perhaps, retributive justice that the Lenten scason falls heavily on the unregenorate as upon the believer who does bimself up in sackeloth and ashes. Asi-Wednesday is the signal for the coming of 2 mild Hard Times. The theatres are desolate. The dry-goods establishments echo gloomily to the rare footfall. The milliners and dressmakers aredecply patoetie. The florists o home to rus- ticate, and leave a small voy behind the poorly- patronized counter. The confectioners put away their pyramidal desigos and devote them- selves more exclusively to plain crullers, buos, and crumpets. | All this Is because all the rich and fashionable people in California are elther Catholics or Epis- copalians. The forty days are strictly observed. There will be more religion than usual this sear. Aristocracy always perches itself npon a bill, Grace Church, the seat of all the genuine aristocratic religion In town, crowns thopinnacic of Callfornia street’s deepest in- accessibility. But the dummy raitsay has reached even this exclusive quarter, and any one may go at five cents a head to sav his prayers in the very temple of railroad bonds, bonanza shares, and other comfortable se- curities. Tue aristocratic Catholics worship In the Freuch cburch of Notre Dame. The French population is not” Jarge, but the congrezation includes many of the native Cplifornia families whose blood is presumed to; be dashea with Castilian blue. Add to thesg the well-to-do Irish and Americans who find good music, rav- ishing toilets, and the music of a forcien tonguean incentive to prayer, and the congre- gation is made up. 5 They have a pleasant custom {n this church of selecting some pretty girl attractively cos- tumed to pass around a basket of cake broken into little, 0dd, oblong fragments of not more than an inch in length. As a custom this Jittle collation is pleasing, but as a refreshment 1t is not zatistying. Some of the unpleasantness of the contribu- tion-box is also taken away by the circumstance of its being passed by & pretty girl. Yet, after all, it would be ‘more agreeable it the churches would manage to make their col- lections at some other hour. The jingling of coin is not appropriate music for the house of God, and s unpleasantly sug~ wrestive of the moncy-dealers in the temple even to the custom-hardencd ear. But while the favorite text of the preachers is “They that preach the Gosoel shall live by the Gosoel,” monev_and religion are indissolubly connected. In faet chugels schisms may fro- quently be traced to a coin basis, and church rows of any kind arc prone £0 rise therefrom. Last weck Mr. James R. Keene, a former resi- deut, sent to San Francisco $2,500 to be distrib- uted among the various clurches. Hls gencrosity was called forth by the reports of e free lunch movement. The dispensers of his bounty avimated by eminent example acted upon the principle * to him that hath shall be given.” Eight courches aud two benevolent institutions were benefited to the extent of $250 cach. At once there rose 50 wilda yell from the ignored, claiming that only the “wealthy aud fashionable churches which did not necd the money, bad been eurich- cd, that the dispensers were obliged to rise and explain, There was so much truth in the com- plaint, that the answer was but lame. Thus the imoney which was intended todo mueh good has simply become a bone of contention among the churchpeople. ““A CELEBRATED CASE.” The Union Square Company opened in this already celebrated piay at Baldwin’s Theatre Iast Wednesday. It is but natural that com- parisons should be instituted between this com- pany and that section of the Union Squarc which has just lefv us, nor altogether strange that these comparisons should be inyidious. Charley Tharne fs, without doubt, the most popular leadiug man in the United States, and the man who follows him has same odds to bat~ tle against. James O'Nefll’s first appearance was watched with keen interest, and the verdict of approval was not loog withhield. Metropolitan traininz bas tempered his natural impetuosity of style. He has borrowed something of the quict srace and repressed intensity of Charles Coghlan, and he repro- @duces Charley Thorne's well-worn and generally effective exclamation, ** My God!” with a fidel- ity to the original which is really quite startling. Altorether, he is much improved, and carries the burden of the vlay with a strength which keeps it from sinking. ‘Tue ladies of the company do not acceptably fill the places of Ida Veroon the maeniticent, who, without any superlative talent, is yet a pleaSure to the eye, and Maud Harrison the masnetic. Miss Rose \Wood is commonbplace. She is fo- excusably plain, has a harsh, nasal volee, and is given to superabundant attitudinizing. How she could have been so warmly indorsed at Wallack’s is a mysters. And yet she bas a cer~ tain poser, which, if rightly ‘molded and di- rected, would establish something of her claims. She carries the air of the country star- ring-tour with her, and it accords badly with the reputation of the Unfon Square Company for absolnte finish and nicety of detal). She is handicapped by a husband with a set of teeth whose constant Carker-like glitter is made to play a formidable part of bis role, and who is & fair cxponeut of the Bowery melodrama. He mination of her metrovolitan eareer. Miss Nina Varian fs a pretty little ipzenue, who will some day be an_actress, and_who will evea now be a favorite, although cast for a part :‘shndu too strong for her uudevelopud abili- €s. It will be seen that ontside of O’Neill there is not tuch strength 1n the Union Square Com- pany. - A’ for the play itself, it docs not scem prob- able that it can ever dispute the placeof the ““Two Orphans as one of the most remarkable plays of the century. 3 bsorbing, thrilling, exclting, intercsting it may be; but it gives the audience an odd sensa- tion of baving begun at_the end. The looker- on knows everything. It is stupendous imper- tinence to sugzest anything to the authors of the “Two Orphans,” but if the struzgle ol Madeline Stenaud with the midnight assassin could be made to take place out of sight ol the audience, and give the staze o the little one for a time, there would bu at least the pleasure of a little uncertainty to work upon. Jenand’s innocence nced not be a foregone conciusion, and tue oft-told tale would haye more point. Also, there is something rather absurd in the superabundance of fathers. Each of the young Iadies has a sham father and a real father, and it sometimes becomes quite a complex alfair to distinguish vetween them. After all this, too, one young lady is left tn the end without any father atall. Thisis rather bad treatment after the anguish of miod she Tias heen compelied to underyo, but even dra- matic license could not conjure one up for her at the last moment. THE CALIFORNIA COMPANY. 1t is now defiaitely settled that a portion of the Californta Theatre Compang is to o to Chicago with that wild extravaganza, ““A Trip 10 the Moon.” While abounding in scenic mar- vels, light music, aud pretty ballets, the success of the piece has really lain in the **gags” in which the actors have been permitted to indulge ad Mbium. Mr. Tom Keene, the heavicst of heavy traze- dians, is, 25 a comedian, cxcessively droll, and Miss Alice Harrison, the microscopic soubrette, Who plays Lrince Caprice, is 2 natural wit. Con- fined to a text, she is a sparkling and vivacious actress, with a iresit voice in song, a nimble pair of heels, and a rather lively manner wen- erally. When her natural inventiveness and re- prteeare given play, she isamusine exceeding- [y to the dress-cirele and irresistible to the gzal- Tery. Asshe is an {nveterate newspaper reader, and has a remarkable factlity for adapting the questions of the hour to the needs of Luricsque, she is quite captivating as Prince Caprice. ‘The Kiralfy ballet troupe still remains intact, although the remainder of the company met with many haps and wishaps on their Westward wa. There are none of the wars and rumors of wars existing between the premicres danseuses that are suppused to agitate the breasts of rival prime donne. De Rosa mere,—it would hardly be supposed that De Rosa could have a mother,—accordms to the natural laws of fongevity, is a venerable dame, whose neatly banded meay hair and time- poin ed nosc and chin look oddly in a theatre. ‘But she may be seen any night gazini admir- {ngly on her Joscphine, and exchanging confi- dences with Patladino pere, a bristly-looking lif tie old man, who argues as unctuously lor th Italian school of art as bis opponent” for the French, ‘The judgment of our city is that both are good, for if the muscalar, pretty Palladino aances with expression and abandon, the twink- ling feet of the ugly De Rosa are marvels in their myriads of steps and their wondrous strengtl. JASSARTH. ——— Tell with & Bullet in His Brain. fionesdale Independent. About four years azo, a voung colored lad nawed John Williams, while plaring along the banks of the canal in this place, was shot by a reckless canal-boat Captain.

The boy was unconscious for about nine hours. Hislife was entirely despaired of, but, strange to say, | be maintained consciousness and showed signs, of fmprovement.
