This he can do for two hours at a stretch,—there is no doubt about it, for he has done 13 mure than once at McCormick Hall. 1t was all very well 50 long as the boy went on shoutiug and the father kept his moutl shut._The father, however, could not let wellalone.

She persisted in being satisfied with nature’s clothing, and would wezz nothing else. She succeeded in making con- siderable testimony against herself, and it would geem that there would be no trouble in adjudging her fnsane Thareday. Comumissioner Boese was one among those who voted Friday to transact the public bustness under Jock and key. He yesterday expressed re- gret atwhat he had done, and be confessed that he tisd been over-persuaded in the matter. It was learned from another source that he had been in- duced to sign the resolution by Fitzgerald, who enticed him Into Lenzen's saloon for the purpose, and that e sirned the mischievons document while there. It ia Lelieved that, baving discovered his mistake, he w:ll move u reconsideration to-mor- row. Certainly he does not belong in the com- pany in which ho has placed himself.

THE GRAND JURY. INDICTMENTS. The Grand Jury for the May term completed its Iabors yesteraay at & late hour in the afternoon, und wasdischarged. Itreturned fty-four trae bills andseventy-fivenobills. Among thu true bills were eleven against Charles Petersen, for forgery, one against Constable Horr for larceny, ome ugalust Joseph Soarks for murder, and one ayrainst J. C.

Prominent among the no bills ‘was one In the case of Chapin & Gore on the com- plalat that they had exhibited obscene plctures, ete, * THE TAX-LIST. Besides tho indictments ond 1o bills the jury submitted 2 mass of manuscript to the Court, among which were some resolutions cailing on the Justices of the Peace 10 exercise greater care in passing on cases coming before them, jthat the juryand the Criminal Conrt might be saved much labor and the people considerable expense.

Caamies 5. WaLLke, Foremsn. BEDFORD STONE. ANOTHER DAY OF TALK. The arguments in the Dedford sione case were continned yesterday moraing befors Judge Willisms at 9:30 o’clock. Mr. Sidney Smith, 'on the part of the city, closed his argoment, confining imself to a discussion of the contract alleged to be existing between the city and county. 5 Gen. Smith, on behalf of Tomlinson & Reed, followed. He called attention 10 the fact that the bill contained no sllegations of fraud, collusjon, oraccident in the making of the mward. The at- tempt was to annul a contract against which nothing had been charged, and to make a contract to suit the county. Such a kind of bill conld not be sustaived. No one suffered in pocket by the propused contract, and a’ Court could not, therefore, interfere, because it ouly dealt in mat- ters pertalning 1o, tungible property rights, moL to walters of taste or fancy. The county was attempting to im- pose a burden of several hundreds of thousands of dollars in the city, dictate in mat- lers as o which the Council was the sole arbiter. Such an attempt was as illezal as it would be for the county to dictate the amount of the city's annual expenditures. It wis not_coutemplated by that agreement to glve to cither municipality sny control over the other. Thut Droposition was most forcibly fllus- trated by the conduct of the parties from that time down o the present. On the Oth of August, 1875, the city declored all con- tracts off. There was s practical con- struction of the ngreement them, for it was agreed to rescind suy prior sgrecment if any such sgreement existed. " There was a construction of itin 1870, when it was expressly declarel that the city was not to be bound by any choice of ma- terial. The city also expresaly notified the county suthorities by resolution that its portion of the bnilding must thoreatter rest with the Comncil. The resolution of Auguat, 1873, must, therefore, e taken us a starting pount in the argument, Yet the county authorities undertook to construe thut agreement vo us to suy the cily was estopped, that it ouzht 10 agree with them because for two years it said it wonid not. It was a pretty broad stretch of power for the county to coerce the city in that way. If there was any chance at all for the blil it was on the ground of public policy as apolied 10 matters of taste. But ¢ven a5 u matter of taste it must be for the benellt of the public. Did pub- lic policy require that the city ehould be limited to one kind of stune furnished by only one man¥ The county had confessedly been using better and heavier stone thau was neceasary or was required by the contract. Wae any grace to be given to purty in such a condition? TUE ULOSINO ARGUMENTs on the part of the city were then made by Corpo- ration-Counsel Bontleld. ~He cluimed ihst the clzuse in the contract of 1872 relating to the uni- formity of the wo portions of the bullding was subsequently dropped, and it was only agrced that the two parts should be uaiform in general exterior desizn. The counsel then went on to show that by the architectaral plans the city, if it was compellcd to use thick Lemont stone, would e compelled to deal with Walker only. ‘Fhe bill, was in 1act to compel the city to kneei before Ed Walker aud ez him to intinato on what terms he would permit the Court-liouse to bo vuilt. Both Kkinds of stone wera from the same;silurian deposit; both were practically of the ssine composition; both were durable stone. The difference was merely one of color. . Butperhaps there was some- thing more important, than that; perhaps It was Deteer [0 save money for the 1aspayers; perhaps it was better tv set au example of honesty and economy than to submit to the dictation of tho county, and put themselves under the power of oxe man, 5 The remaining argament by Mr. Jewett was post- poned until to-morrow_worning, as Judge Will- ms remarked that he should o¢ obliged to attend to other cases in the aliernoon. ISKY. THAT 400 BARRELS. v Another step was taked in the Merserean case yes- terday, when Mr. E. A Small, attorney for Messes. Ballentine & Lawrence, served the District-Attor- ney with toe following notice. The case, as some people have Leard, 18 techmically known o8 that of the United States vs, 400 packages of distilled 8pirita. Stebbins, claimant. The notice runs thus: You are hersby notifled that, a3 suretles on the bond given in sald causes by L. G, Siebbins. the above-named clalmant, uvon whichl bond safd 400 packages of distlil- ed l'plrlls were dellvered to liln, we hereby protest agafnst the substitation f Ltoswell C. Mersereau a the claimant for satd spirits; -and fn the event of such sub- atitution being mage., we shall rezard vurseives as dis- charged irom IfabII(CY nS surettes 4pon sald bond. On receint of thie above, Assistant District-At. torney Thomson served motice on Col Jucssen, counsel for Stebbins, that he would move the Court Tue=d1y morning to set aside tne late order by which Merdereau was nilowed to come into the cane and take the place of Stebbins as claimant, Subiequently Mr. Jewett and Mr. Thomson ob- tained an order from Judze Blodgett suspending the entry upon the Court records of the just-men: tioned order by which thiz substitation of Mer- sercan for Stebbins was permitted. When the mat- ter comes up Tuesdsy morning the whole question of this anbstitution, und its effect on the security, will bs settled.’ This whisky, it_ will be remembored, was aistilled__ by Mersereau, Subsequently. in the fall of 1875, it was scized at the Citcago Dock Company’s warchouse. Stebbins clalmed that the stall hisd been sold to him, gave 8 bond for it, und the whisky was delivered to him. Then Merséreau put ina claim for it, makivg an application to the Department at Washington to have the fiery compound - aurrendered to him on the ground that he and he alone was the rightful possessor thereol. Thalonzand short of this ap- plication was that the - Department put its toot down on it. Then Stebbins got in his clam to have the whisky released to himon the ground that be owned it. The Department sat down on hii also. In “each of these applications to the powers at -Washingion, euch of the two alleged proprictors supported the other's claima, The: Court - wil decide onc of these days to which of the two mothers the child belongs, but probably not by recourse to Solomon’s threat of wphiting it up and giviag each a half. THE HISTORY OF ONE OF MERSEREAU'S ILLICIT WIISEY TRANSACTIONS may not be without imerest, especlally since it has some connection with (he ¢ase at bar. Early in 1875, Mersereau sent to Golsen & Esstman 130 Dbarrels of hixhwines having on them stamps run- ninz from 19,813 to 19,887, from 19,973 to 20, - 002, and from 20.073 0 20,122. The whisky was dumped, the stamps, uncanceled, removed from the barrels and eent - back 'to Merscrean. A month or s0 later, the sams stamps were puton another lot of 130 barrels, Mersereau wanted 10 send the stufl to Golsen, but the latter had not reow- for it in the reclifying- house, ‘S0 the goods were socretly stored [n tho Chieazo Duck Company's warehouse, nnd Golsen reported to the Government that 150 barrela had been dumped and the stamps mentioned above cancelod. ~ The goods wero deposited in the warchouse and thtee rocelpts given therefor, cuch for fifty barcels. - The first was aazed April 15, 1875, and numbered 4,185. The second was of April 10, “and was numbered 4,187, The third was of April 23, and was numbérel 1,180, “Ihero was also at about the snme time 1n the ware- bouse 100 more barrels of the stuff manufactured by Afersereau, which was straight on the face of it. On’ the "10th of May, lersercau’s place seized, along ~with “Golsen & Kns un's, Ruscell's, ana Roelle, Junker & Co, “Che safes of tae distillers and roctifiers were taken possession of, anu the Government officers started 10 open thea, but were prevented by the obtaining of a temporary injunction from Judge Ilod The matter was arzued subsequently, and was not decided until toe 22 of June, when the Judge s “held that the safes could be opened in the presence of theirowners, [n the meanwhile these three warehonsc receipts for those 150 brrelsof crooked goods werein a arawer in Golsen's safe. 'The Teceipts were mude Out one o Mersereau on_ac- count of Golsen & Enstman, another to Mer- sereau on account of Merscreaw, snd snother to Mersereuu on account of Gulseh. Both Golsen and Mersereau Luew that If thesc receipts fell into the hands of the Guvernment officers they would at once ece that they mentioned stimps which had been reported canceled. and that there would be no carthly hope under any circumstances for those goods, wmch had on them the direct evidence of crookedness, Dut the safe which contained them was sealed and watched. Golsen went to the Dock Campany people and tried to get ont the gocds without presenting the receipts. ‘[liis they refused to entertain. ‘Fiien le proposod 1o knock in the hezds of the barrels and let the stuff run out throngh the sewers. To this the reply was that THE STUFP WOULD STINE ALL TABE WAY TO LRIDGEPORT, » and be would not listen to it for & moment. Goluen sala be could so manage it that there would Dot be any of the smell Le complained of, bat be absolutely refused. — On the 24th of June—a_day or eo after Judge Blodgett had given his declsion —Golsen's safe was opened du his presence and thutof the rovenue oficers. When the book- keeper threw open the door, Golsen stepped for- ward and began pointing out the contents to the officers. *‘Here," suid he, **are the books, und here is the drawer in which.1 Leep my private papers.” Pulling it ont as be spoke, he Yoo see, there fs nothng in it.” There were init, however, the three receipts, but, a8 he pulled open the drawer, he slipped in his hand, crumpled up the receipt in tho paim, with- drew his hand wllE the little wad of paper, and in a few moments slipped the documents into his pocket. On the 25th and 26th he took these re- Ceipts to tho warehouse and indorsed them ‘*J. Rihm." Thls was the indorsement which was at ope tima supposed to be that of Jake Rehm, ana which led to Rehm's examination on this point be- fore the first Grand Jury, which met in November of that vear. Golsen's object in .putiog that name on them as that meither his nor Merserean's might fizuro that of the party who withdrew the goods, The barrels were hastily packed in_ distillers’ wagons, carried away, and have not boenm seen since. It appears, however, that IN THE LURRY OF REMOVING, owing to the great similarity of the barrels, and the fact that the barrel-heads and the stamps had gotten a hittlo dirty, the men got a set of Afty bar- rels which ware not covered by any of these re- ceipts, and loft behind 8fiy barrels which the should have taien awny, the stamps on whic had been reported as canceied. Tnis, it is belicved, wlllfil\: vroven when the Merse- rean case comesNgefore a ury. Along in August of 1875, the fact :an had whisky at the Dock Compuny's warchouse was discovered and the 400 barrels were scized, and sowething also lealked out later in the yearabost those missing ceitiicates. At one time. in a moment uf enthu- siasm, Golsen Intimated that Phil Hoyne had turned them over to bim, and the Government oficers were about to take actlon regurding the matter, when Golsen explained that he had spoken merely'in jost, and that there was no truth in the statement. The real facts ln regard to his recuring ;hc]sa certificates were not made known nntiliast all. COUNTY RELIEF. REVELATIONS OF A DETECTIVE. When Capt. McGrath took charge of the office of County agent of Cook County he came to the con- clusion, from close observation, that there was a great deulof tmposture going on, to the detriment of the worthy poor. Low to obviate this was the chiel study of the new County Agent. He had been furntshed by the County Commis- sioners with a quota of visitors, aud it appears some very good men were given hlm. Some men were also on the pay-roll, it seems, who were not just the ones for the place. As the indiscretions of these men were ascertained, they were uncere- monousty bonnced. They were removed, 1t may be added, m-ily on moral grouads. A prostitute was receiving nid in one case, *ay, who negotiated her meal-tickets, and the visior was recelving his recompense tnerefor. Impostors who made applications for relief knew the day when.the visitor called. On these occa- stons the applicant tooke 2ood caro to llde all his or her worldly effects and look as nesdy a8 posst- ble. On Fourth avenue, and thercabouts, the people actually borrowed children of ench other and passed them along througn the alleys. Then ther way o pitiable spectacle for the chacitable visitor to look upon. A mother surrounded by six or seven children, for instance, was planted in one room, with no fuel in the house, nothing to eat, and nothing to wear. And £o forth und o0 on. “The County Azent determined mot to be fm- posed upon. Iie therefore employed o spe- cial detective to (ollow not only suspected visitars, but to come when lenst oxpected upoa fraudulent applicants. Tuat special deiectlys ha Just dn- ished the report of fu investigation through the winter, and carly speing, The following ex- ts Lave been selecteu: A Mra. Mahony, of 138 West Lake street, and formerly of 166, was found 0 be married, bt her hueband was absent. Charles O'Malis, the tinguished barrister of the West-Side Police, Court, afe and slept there. She cinimed toat Charles was ber uncle, but, 50 near a3 could be Icarned, this was not true. She was s hard drinker, and altozether undeserving. She bad a amal xtore with quite a stock of notions, tobacco, etc. Two weeks before the detective's visit, on tho occasion of a call from the regular visitor, ehe hid everything she could under the bed. A man man humed Shaw, on Cherry street, had no wife, butaboy, aged' 12 yeara of aze, Ho worked durihz the summer, it is usld. Whea he got his meal-tickets it was claimed he exchunged them for whisky. A ra. Guivin, of 156 North Green straet, had ot been called thon by a visitor since the appli- cation for relief was made. She claimed to bea widow; but now livinz, it seems, with her gecend husband. e had been working on the dock about ail eammor. She had three children under 1 yeara of age. One of the girls had Leen arrested for stealing $78 from & man, ana the other.wasa hotel cook. This girl's_ money the mother suc- ceeded in drinking up. She claimed that Gubbins, the chief clerk in the oftice, knew hor, and both McGrath and he would get futo trouble, ‘aa she was 2oing to see the Comumissioners. A Mra. Rickey, of 86 Wayman strect, claimed that her busband left her six years ago, but there was 2 man hiving with her whom she pissed off as her husband. Ste had had two months' relief, and asked for more. They got drunk, and bore very hurd characters, A. Litzky, 83" Front strect, had a wife and three children.

ONLY SEVENTEEN YEARS, The Jury 1n the case of Crawford, who bad been on trial for several duys chargea with the marder of Wilham Shanley, brought 1n a verdict yester- day morning, after belny out all night, finding the defendant guilty and fixing his imorisonment at scventeen years in the Penitentiary. When the jury retired the evening previous, several members were 1n favor of hanging, snd they fought through the greater part of the night, but umsuccess- fully, and finally bad to succumb. There was no dispuze a4 1o Crawrord having taken o part tn the commission of tue crime, but there was a dispute, growing out of the conflicting testimony, as to whether Crawford or Gaunon was the brincipal, and this is how the murderer got off 8o casily. When tue verdict was announced the attorneyy for the prisoner entered a motion for 4 mew trinl w8 @ matter- of form, but in the afternoon the motion was withdrawn, with the consent of Crawford, and he was arralgned and sontenced in_accordance’ with the finding of the jury. After being sentenced, he remarked in court, in talking to a friend, thut he wonld behave himself at Joliet, aud that tn six months he would beat large again, when he would punish Stato's- Attorney Mills.

Dut the feel- ing1s, with him, not unnatural, and Crawford makes no pretense of concealing It. 'In his talk to the ro- porter he inveighed bitterly against Gannon and Fitegerald, who, he said, hud sworn falsely azninst i, their testimony contradicting wat adduced at ihe Coroner's inquest and the Gannon trial. 3c- Donald, tov, came in for a siarc of his vehement deyunciatious, his testimony being declared to be s lie from beginniug to end.

But U'Boyle was afraid of being tried s an accessory if he caine 1o Chicago, and Crawford wouldn't give bimaway by lettng the ollicers know where he could be found. While wita 0'Boyle's testimony the case migat have wone more to his advantaze, yet he wouldn't put the fellow's liberty in danger, ond. on the whole, whatever regrets he misht bhave, he wasdecidediy glad that the case bhad turned out 8o mach better than he had cexpected, with Millaand & jury of abdolute strangers nguinst bLim, “ond could mot suy enongh in praise of hiy attorneys, wlho lhad fought 0 well to save his life. 1le 'will go down to Jojiet about ‘fhursday, and those who know him here say he will behove himsclf, and **meke ™ a1} the tuno the regulations of 'Warden McCloughey’s hotel allow, BREAKING THE WIRES. TUE PALLING DERRICK. Owing to the almost incredible stupidity or gross carelessness uf nne of the laborers employed in the construction of the Court-House, an accident occurred there yesterday afternoon which might havebeen attenaed with the woret results, and which causea damage amounting to several hundred dollars. The large derrick used for hoisting stone, hich welghs abont 6,000 pounds, was being shified from the southeast corner of the bailding around to the Clark-streat front when the man in charge loosened oac of the back guy-ropes, thus depriving the derrick of sapvort. fr. drst struck the telegraph pole of the same corner and snapped Itell you there'suo of the upper part of it, but the rope west of this held, aud the derrick dragped sloug the wires until it reacaed the nex: nole, which was broken off In the centre by the blow, ' Neacly fitty of the wirea were cut, dnd, as the atreet was fal of ‘nnplu on foot and in buggies. it s really wonderfn) tnat no livos were lost. The anccident, if tha: be the proper name for it, occurred at 4:15 p. m., and in five minates' time half n dozen of tho repalrers of the Western Union Telegraoh Company were swarming up the poles and disentangling the wires. It appcared that forty-seven of these bad been cat, bat fortunately most of them were **relags ™ and ‘*desd” wires, for the Company trans- ferred a number of thelr important wires soveral months ago to ovaid interference by the derricks. None of the direct wires to the lurcer Eastern citles were dumsged. and as Satarday night is not 4 busy one with tolex- raphers littlo delay’ was cansed to bnsiness, ‘The fire-alarm wires ‘wero moved by Prof. Barrett some {ime ng0, 80 that important branch of the scrvice was not interfered with, and the services of the fire-alarm. repairers were proffered to tha Telegraph Company and thankfclly accepted. The damage will all be repaired by this morning, The derrick was the property of Angua & Manson, who have the contract for elevating the granite calumna to the upper storles, und cost about $1,000. The luss to the contractors will be about $130, and the wires and poles will cost more than. that 1o replace. Mesri. Ang Uinsdale, and some ~ other gentlemen were standing at the footof the derrick when it fell, and some lively time was mada in scramoling out'of the way. When the derrick went crashing down, the in- terlor of the barber-shop in the bascment of the Exchange Building prescnted a very curious sight. The employes of the shop and tha” customers who were present heard the crasLing, crackling noise, and thought the building above was crumbling down upon them. The hair-cutters threw down their scissors, the shavers dropped their razors, and, whth the terrified custom- ers, made a grand rush for the outaide. About a half-dozen men In the baths were seized with the panic and sprang up and out, clothed in the avernge bathing costume and nothing more, and pot balf way up the stairs leadine oatdoors before they noticed thelr mistake. There was a lingering and loitoring in those tubs thereafter. BEER. . WHAT THE BREWERS SAY. A reporter yesterday called upon several of the most prominent brewers in order tolearn from them what actfon, if any, they proposed to take over the recent moveon the part of the salodn-kecpers. The representative of one of the largest brewing firms in the city was found, and as his remarks are understood to be expressive of the entire num- ber of those connccted with the Drewers' Asso— ciation, they are herewith appended. Said the reporter £ ‘*r. —, what are you going to do about this kick by the s2loon-keepera about the price of beer? Arc -you going to throw off thut extra dollar, or nott™ **Why, thers has not been sny trouble that [ know of. - The so-called Saloon-Keepers' Associa- tion, which does not represent one-tenth part of the trade in this city, sent to tho brewers and asked a conference. They were et in a friendly spirit, and we hstened to what they had to say. Lat, after talking the matter over, Wo came to the conclusion that there wus no room for u reduc- tion, and we go notuled them. The better class of saloon-keepers don’t want the price reduced to 38, and some of them have already protested uzuinst 1t. If beer is reduced the consequence will be that ' o beer-salvon will be started on every corner, where they will sell beer two glagses for five cents, or wlllii\'a 2 large glass and 8 frec lunch for s ntckel, and thus dreak up the business. The wen who do a good trede and have acquired property dow’t want to be ran out of the - busi- Lt ‘*Are any of the city browers zoing to sell at $8 after Mondsy next. **I don’t know positivety, but think that one of them will. But tnere has never been a time for scven years past but when Lalf a dozen small firms in or out of the city wero nnderselling a dollar, When we were $10 per barrel they were $9, and uow they offerat $9. The Milwaukee brawers are one with us in preservin; the piesent price, and ~keeping up the siandard of quality. Bat there are men in Clacinnatl and other oumiside towns who can ouly get their beer on this marke: by cutting on prices. ‘They use inferlor walt und hops, and If anybody wants tacir beer at S8, or $6, or any other price, they can have it. Toere isa reguiar recognlzed grade of beer, which we try to keep up, and 39 i3 4 fair price for that beer. Tne larzest frms 1n the city feel that way, and 80 do the better class of retailers. Any man who will attend to his basi- Deas can make a good living at the present fzurcs— 4 mach detter one than if be got a doilzr a barrel thrown off and sold two glasses of ocer for 5 cents, for that fs what this. meuns. This little nzitstion 1s gotten up by an irresponsible crowd. who don't represent anybody, and the men who can pay therr way don't mix inwith it at ail. It 1su't worth making any tuse about whatever, for it will amount to nothing, " - One of thé leading retailers, who present duriug the latter part of this conversation, agreed with the brewerabout the wishes of the retail trade, They wera doing well envugh considering the times, and did not want any reduction in the price so [ong us the quality was maintained, = The rewer also stated that although barley and hops had dezreased in price they were not 60 Jow as in 1573, when the price of teer was S10 per barrel, while the extra cost of fce this year would be very great. And they agreed that the movement wan notc‘;: represontative one, and did mot count for much. LUMBER. ;. DIRECTORS’ MEETING. Tho Board of Directora of the Chicago Lumber Exchange beld a- meeting yesterday forenoon, at their headquarters ou South Water sireet, for the nurpose of considering the appointment of & com- mittee of conference to meet a simllar commities fram the Retail Dealers’ Association of Iilinols and Jows, with.a vlew toward effecting an amicable adiustment of the trado difiicuities existing 'be- tween the two bodies. There hus been & great deal of unolensantness between the Cnicago dealers and the country Associntion, tho latter having endeavored, as is usserted, to force the former to refuse to scll to the consumer direct, under penalty of bcm{g **blackballed, ™ which means the payment of S10 per car for every car- load thus sold. * The city men would not atand it, and hence the hitch, i Tluddeas Dean, President of the Exchange, oc- cupled the chatr, aud, atter some discussion, the Board concluded it best to adjourn over until Moa- day morning at 9 o'clock, when it i3 probsble the Committee of Couference will be appointea and instructed as to the course they ehall pursuc. ‘Tnat step was deemed the wisest, for the reason that the Committee will require some knowledee of the wishes of the Exchange . in the watter of an amicable arrangement. 'Tuesday st the Tremont House are the time and place iixed for the Cow- mittees o meet. 1t fs bardly possible that any adjustmont will he made. “Chicago dealers are noi Inclined to be forced Into the* payment of # large percentaze on direct sales, and the country retailers want them to let the consumer alone and leave him entircly to them. If some arrangement couid be made whoreby the prices could be sutisfactorily adjust- ud between the parties, amlcadle relations might be established. Tuesday will tell the tale. SUBURBAN,. EVANSTON.
