K., 2nd (he bond approved. The iron will Le delivered about Sept. 1. In view of the late talk sboui the filthy condition of the river, there has been vented some- thing of public desire to know why the machinery for the new Fullerton avenue conduit has not been put in, 1o the end that the North Branch onzht be relieved of its_ofiensivencss, and, a8 2 result of 1hat local purification, that the whole nver might become what it now is not,—tolerably clean. The reason of the delay lies in toe fact of the city’s inglorious financial condition. There is an appro- priation of something like $70,000 for the comple- tion of the work, but, as the City Engineer re- marked yesterday, an appropriation 1s oue thing and money o pay for an improvement iz another. Abont 3 year aro the city Advertised for proposals for the machinery, and the bids were opened on the 17th of Angust last. None, however, were ever awarded, the rezson assigmed by the Mayor being the plentiful lack of mozey in the Treasury. Sioce that time matters have grown worse instesd of better, and natil the financial condition of the city improves the work wil) probably laz. - All the machinery necded can, if necessary. be built in abous three wounths. But in the opinion of Mr. Chesbrough, there would be 110 use in letting the contracts noiw, anyway. with the idea that they were to be executed at once and the machinery put into position in that time, for the reason that it would require until the last of October to co that, by Which time the frost will conquer the effect of the odore, and there will be no annoyance o epeak 'of until early mext spring. ln his opinion, the proper thing to do would be to let the contracts. say in September. The machinery can e built doring the winter, and_everythlng made ready for operations in the early spring. ‘Tnree months, he thinks, would suffice to build it, out, in order to give the contractors every opportnaity 10 do the best work possible, it is his suzzestion that an extra month or two would be advisabie. THE COUNTY BUILDING. The Grand Jury for July will be- called to-morrow. Sheriffi Kern had a letter from 'Jernsalem yosterday inauiring after the responsivility and <haracter of C. A. Long & Co..the tea-merchants, who have alresdy been mentioned in these columas. His response waa declsive and discour- aging. - Matsen, who wes sent to the Penitentiary some time ago for one year for the killing of Boerner, isnow in an insane asylum. At the time ‘of histrial insanity was the defense. but it wasnot listened to. He had been in the Penitentiary but ihree months when his insznitv became 60 ap- pareat as to necessitate his removal. In the Connty Court yesterday the case of the Bennett Medical College, where objection was 1made to paying the tax levied against the institn- tion, Judge Loomis sustained the objection to three-fifths of the property. or so mnch of it as was_devoled to cducational purposes, on the ground that its charter exempted it from taxa- tion, 3. Anlattorney was around yesterday, and so great twas his thiret for notoriety that he authorized a bailifl to offer the wife-murderer, Stevene, or his attorneys, S300 for the privilege of defending him. The proposition wae made to Mr. Trade, and he expressed his willingnees to surrender his interest in the case for one-fifth of the amount. Stevens was not seen in the matter. Judge Rogers. the State's.Attoruey, and the attorneys interested ‘in the various mur- der caes vet to be tried, had a consultation yesterdey. and notwitbstanding some of the cascs find been set for the coming weck, it was acreed to Dass all of them over to the September term. The reasons for the action are the extreme warm weather, the proposed vacation in August. the nearness of the end of the Juls term, and the desire to try all of the petty cases before adjonrnment. The fact that there was $36.000 worth of ‘machinery in the basement of the building to per- fect the ventilation, as announced in these columns yesterday, struck evervhody with sirprise. The Commisgioners ssid they kuew nothing of it, and on all sides therc appeared to be the uimost inor- ance. The information, however, was pleasing to the connty mployes wko have been sweltering in the heat and choking with the fonl air, and they wondered why thismachinery bad not been put to some use, and the probabilities are that it will be called into service, at an carly day. It is bad enough for the men to be obliced to discount their orders every month, and they object to being denied pure air, especially since the only reason for it is the neglect of the enpincer and those having charge of the bailding. In the Sparks murder case’ State's At- torney Mills made the concluding argnment to the jary vesterdny morning. e spoke for two and one-half hours, and bandled the case swith con- summate skill and ability, and was congratulated upon his effort afterward on all sides. The case was given to the jury a1 o'clock, ard at 5 a ver- dict hag not been reached, and thoe understanding a8 that the jury at that fonr stood cight for mur- der, two for manslaughter, and two for acquittal, the belief Leing that an agreement wounld not be reached. Judge TRogers them went home promising to return at 10 o'clock, or when- ever eent for. ~ At 10:30 word was sent out to tne batliffs in charge that the jury could not agree, and then it was understood that they would be left out until 10 o'clock this morning, when Judge Rogers wiil call them fu. It is berieved that the dieagree- ment €0 far has been on account of the obstinacy of 10 jurors who stand out for muzder and hang- ing, and will not agree to anvthing elsc, The otler ten, it 16 Faid, could agree on & verdict of man- slanghter, with a sentence of from five 10 ten years' imprisonment.

THE SUPERINTENDENCY. THE POLICE COMMITTEE INDONSE SEAVEY. Tt begins to look more and more certain that Capt. Seavey will be confirmed. . There was an in- teresting 1ittle party in Supt. Hickev's ofice yes- terday afrernoon, composed of the members of the Committee on Police, two or threo other Alder- men, and Supt. Hickey himself. ' In the the midst of it sll, Capt. Seavey himself dropped in, and wes introduced by the: Superintendent to all the Aldermen preeent with whom he was not previously acquainted, The impression rought fo be conveved by ome of the Aldermen when ‘seked what the meeting was_ail for, was that It partook eolely of the natire of a social chat, no reference being made 10 the question of the Superintendency. Be thata it may, it was very evident that the wavering ones wers very favorably impressed wita Capt. Seavey's ** style," and their snbsequent remarks in relation to the confirmation only bore out that fact even more plainly. z The event of the day was, of course, the meet- ing of the Comnuttee on Police In the City Clerk’s office at 8 o'clock. Ald. Daly ‘presided, and the other Aldermen present were Oliver, Niesen. and Riordan.. The first thing the Committee did was 10 approve of the bond of Deputy-Superintendent Dixon, which was adorned with the names of Jobn R. Hoxie, John B. Lyon, and Edzar P. Tobey as suretics. ' Then the Commitiee directed its con- centrated inteliect to the important question of the Superintendency. COMMUNICATION had been received oy the Chairman of the Com- mittee. badly written, worse spelied, with no name attached, and indulging in 3 long rigmarole to the effect that Capt. Scavey had once peddled enide jewelry, zone around the conntry with circases, and_was, renerally #peaking, no better than he ought to be. ‘The Committes paid no attentiou to the letter. The only thing left 1o do was to con- sider the Mayor's nomination of Cat. Seavey.and, 23 the Alaermen had thoroughly canvassed the sub- ject on the ontside and were s fully prepared to Yote as hey probably ever would be, the remainder of the proccedings was exceedingly simole and matter-of-fact. Ald. Oliver moved to recommend to the Conncil that it concur in_the Mayor's nom- ination of Capt. Seavey as Suverintendent of Police, and, wittont the teast discussion or sdebate, the ‘motion was put o vote. There were three very distinct ayos—Daly, Niesen, and Oliver. Ald. Riordan didn't votc at all. Having thus decided to recommend a concurrence in the nomination, the Committce adjourned. ALD. RIORDAY, when afterwards asked if he woutd present a mi- nority report, promptly geclared that he would not. With (he action of the Committee, the Alder- men who have allalong been so willing to st anything on Capt. Seavey's confirmation were even more jubilant of success. Even Ald. Lawler, whoe wet-grocery adjacent to_the City-Hall is a convenient resting-place for several Aldermen, was more inclined to come out with a definite.state- ment thsn he has heen all along. le anewered the reporter, $** up-and-up, you know, " that he favored Capt Scavey's nomination. Whether in earnest or not he bad_just previously etated that he wonld move to defer the matter one weelk 1f novody clse did. This led to a supposition on the part of those who sat at his feet and re- cefved the words of wisdom, truth, ard sobernes that he might be thinking of somé dark horse, of even of Hickey bimself, as the one entitled to his vote. But heafterwards said he had told Mickey he wouldn't support him even if his vote would de- cide the matter. This, {t must be admitted, wos decidedly flat-footed for Lawler. and taken in con- nection with a «till subsequent explanation on his part that he would ** take back ** all he had said about deferring, it wonld seem probable that he lias at last decided to place bimeelf o the winning side.

FIREMEN’S, TOURNAMENT. A SLIGHT MISREPRESENTATION. The St. Lous Eveping Post of the 1Sth inst. coutained somethinz.no doubt calculated to fatter the locai pride i the Bire Department of the city beyond the bridge. Possibly it was hoped that the eame would catry wormwood and gall to the heart of the average Chicagoan—if he ever saw lt—when it should be known, iii the languagze of tha flaring headlines, that+*St.; Louis cballenges Chicazo in arace at the Fire Tournament," and that, **As naual, the Sucker Villaze shows the white feather. ™ Tug Tiruse is nowilling to let the Posc’s highly- colored puff be hid under a bushel, and, there- fore, gives it the Demefit of its larze circalu- tion. After spenking of the desien of the tournament generally, the writer of the asticle In question procecds to deliver wuat purports to ‘b ‘'a plain, unvarmshed tale.” showing how St Louis, metaphorically speaking, fuvitéd Chicago to knock the chup off its.shoutder, and bhow Chi besped 1o be counted out. The gist of it fs that, a8 St. Louls_ has but one salvae Corps compant, it . wae impossible for Capt. Evans to enter his corps in contest with one of Chicago's two sulvage corps at the coming tournament, for the plain reason that, when & city is ‘only able to support ome corps, it must hang on to that corps at Al - times, and not let ‘it depart ont of its midst, tonrnament or no tournament. According to the articlo referred to, Capt. Evans was granted leave to attend with his saddie-horse, *+and word wad sent Benner, by u prominent St. Louis gentleman, statinz that, al- though the full corps would not be able to par- ticipate in the tournament, Capt. Evans would be on hand with his horse ready for business.™ Capt. Evrns, It was stated, supposed Fire-Marshul Benner and Ben Bullwinkle would be willing to test their horees' speed with Lis, since they ciaimed to have the best running horses in the business. They begged to be excused, how- cr, accoraing 'o the other end of tne wridee, fonring that they might, ny usual, come out second best,” and, 1 response to a chal- fenge from 'Capt.

Marshai Leoner politely declined in a note written to the *tprominent St. Louis gentleman.” July 12, in the course of which he stated that he did'not think I proposed race apulicable to the occasion. He s inclined to that opinioa still. The tournament, he rays. was never intended to be a horse-race, or anytiing but a teat of skill between the **firc jad- gies.” More emphaticully stated, his conception of the tournament is that'it is to be **no_jockey- ing and no chin-music. but business.” The state- ‘ment that Chicazo clains to uave the best running horses in the busiuess, be sayy, is a little **off,™ since she doesn't claim'any such thing.

SUNDAY-SCHOOLS. A SMALL GATHERING. The attendance at the Lake Bluff Sunday-School Assembly yesterday was mot an improvement on that of the preceding days, and, a8 a matierof fact, the crowd was a slim one. Why it is that the Assembly is not more generally attended, I is hard tosay, but there certainly has been but little in- terest manifested in the affair thus far, except by tuose to whom it has a special significance. Tne first thing on the programme was the teach- ers’ conference, ot which the Rev. Mr. Van Horn presided. *‘Tact for the Teacher™ was the sub- ject, and, in # few remarks upon it, the leader said that neither honesty of purposc nor entimsiasm for the work was tact ‘A person might have all of these, and etill lack the tact which was neces- sary to make a competent and successful teucier. Mr#. Brown ond others ulso_spoke, and amang the idens advanced was one that the sexes ehould be reparated in Sunday-schools, except in classes where the schoiars were cither very young, or old enough to have ecnee. A Bible reading by IL, M. Paynter was the feat- ure at 10 o'clock. 'The reading was accompanied by explanations_and arguments on_topies remark- able only for antiquity, and of no particular inter- cut to thie public. The Rev. John Williamson and the Rev. J. W.

Unruliness, he snid, proceeded either from ma- Ticionsnese, idleness, or exuberant vitality, and on esch_of these characterstics Mr. Hazzard lnd something to sny. 'To -successfnlly teach ruch boys wosan exceedingly difficnlt inatter. They should first be made to- believe that the teacher knew more than the scholar.

To the Lditor of The Tribunc. Cnicaco, July 20.—Notwithstanding the grate- fal changein temperature during Thursday and Tridsy, many persons complained that they didn't feel so well as during the ** hot spell.” The symptoms complained of by one class are difiiculty of breathing, kzhing or sasping respira- tion. a sense of oppressive or partial suffocation, and an increasc of caterrhal or bronchial tronble; by another claes, a return or aggravation of head- ache, *:pressure™ on the brain, scnee of fullness in the head, etc. : in still another class the multi- form _malaiee of **biliousness™ predominates; while in general, neuraigic and rhenmaticsuffercrs, and those in whom the-funciion of the kidneys is impaired, have been decidedly less comfortable than when their bodies were bathed in the Iree perspiration induced \bya temperaiure of 95 de- ecs. Bl In the Iact dozen words is contained the solution of theapoarent paradox. Durine the *‘heated term” au immenco amount of waste nztter from the interior of the body was Leing voured out throuzli the skin, to the very obvions relief of the other excreting orzans, as well as_to 3 real im- provement of ‘health .where imprudent cxposurc, Vicious babits, or grave disense had not made this impracticable. The sudden fali of temperature to 71 degrees checked thig.action of the skin, and threw increnscd work on the lungs, and liver, and’ kidneys. In persons yhere these orzaus are 'per- fectly healthy and vigorous-.no " Inconvenience is felt; bot among the majority of adults very -few can claim such conaitiori; and #o, lungs overtaxed, and air-passages irritated by the increased amount of peisonons vapore aud,gas passing throueh them, account for the first claév, just as the congested Jiver,—an organ which .is_particularly prone in _malatious regions to get.sulky and **strike work ' ‘on slight provacation, ~fatlme to work up_ccrtain other Waste into bile, but leaving it in the blood to po1«on the brain and neivous system, sccounts for **binious ” and nervbny. symptoms. 1In shori, tne waste matter of the body, is less perfectly utilized or excreted in ali thesi cases, and ifs * retention the various -ill aflments aoove recited. - As the organs become reconciled and adjusted to the changed conditions: the symptoms subside and the usual statc of health (ur fll-health) will be re- sumed.

As applied to railway cars, it is as follows: Outside of éhc car, upon the end of theroof. is a kerosent lamo. Leading Irom it to the other end is a tube, sav a foot and a half in dianeter, through which the light -is thrown by a reflector placed behind the flame. This tube runs along the roof, uext to the ven- tilating _deck, and at scveral points it is “tapped ™ for licht. At these points a reflector, in the tube sends the licht into and scross the car, through holes. similar to the ventilating lholes, and when the light is once iuside it is seut down to_the seats by other reflectors placed inside. Upon the other side of the car is a sim- ilar tube, with the lizht at the other end. By this arrangement. the passengers escape the disagreeable smell and smoke of the lamps now used,.and get a very fine light, and: are preserved from danger by fire if the car meets with an accident. The whole apparatus, except the auxiliary reflectors, is outside of the car, and the larip is surrounded by a fire-proof, safe, and in- menious mechanism, such - that, if the car is upset or its balance ~aisturbed by derniiment . or collision, the flame is in- stantly extinguished. This makes-it very de- sirable for use in postal-cars, for usually when they meet with acvidents their contents are burned. It was by reading that.the Govern- ment was laoking for something to use in these cars that the inventor was led to make experi- ments. L eveninz he showed us how fine wood-turning could be done under this arrange- ment of light in his factory. and a picce was sately turned out aver forty feet from the lamp as quickly and as nicely as it could bave been by daylight. Thetubeconducted thelight 50 ad- mirably that it was easy to read fine print forty feet from the lamp.—the length of the room,— and further. We see no reasoni why the adop- tion of this arrangement on railroads will not he a great improvement, us rezards both com- fort and safcty. The apparatus is also very de- sirable for private grounds, entrances to sta- bles, ete. =1t can also be used for footlizhts in theatres. It is already attracting the attention of railroad men. Its ‘cost will be small, as the inventor thinks he can light a whole car with one kervsene lamp. It certalnly can’be done with two. : = —— A Miner's Good Fortune. werada_ Transeript. Some time about Good Friday last **Doc?. Wilkinson closed up thefish-market that he hud been ruaning for several months at the corner of Main and Commereial streets in this city. Business had become so dull m bis line that some. dars be did not sell fish enough to pay for the Zas he burned while keeping open cvenings, “A few days after stopping operations here he went dver to Auburn, Placer County, and, beinz a miner of considérable experience in carly days, he made aeeugements-with a man by the name 7o : Perhaps it was 2 gquestion of the weathe: of Pike to open up a ledge about three miles this'side ot~ Amburn, which-the :latter owned. “Doc” ggreeing to work the claim on_shares, The above-information is the last that “Doc’s » friends have had of him until day before yester- day, when his wife's uncle brought some intelli- gence to this city rezarding his doings; and the news is so wonderful that it seems almost im- probable. “But as the gentieman’ referred to is” well known here, aud is said to be 2 man of strict veracity, we have no reason for not placing per- fect reliance upon what he says, which is to this effect: 5Ir.- Wilkinson had been sinking the in- cline on the ledge, takiog out the quartz as he went down, but_ leaving the foot-wall, so as to avoid baving much cab, or waste rock, when he came to have a crushivg., The quartz showed some free gold, but, not being & very thick ledge, the “Doc.” concluded to sink .down to water level vefore taking his rock to mill. He had gone down on the incline abous sixty feet, nud, while purting in a set of timbers, 8 larze chuok of the foot-wall fell out, disclosing to the eves of the astonished miner another ledze behind the supposed foot-wall, which was filled with zold. Of course, further sinking was abandoned, and attention directed to the new discovery. which for convenience sake we will call a pocket, although the indications are thatit is a rich pay- ing ledge. A force of men were immediately ‘put to sworkupon the newly-discovered bonanza. Up to Wednesday morning twenty thousand dol- tars’ worth had beenraised to the surface,as was estimated by competent disintercsted judees. In order to convince himself whether the rich ledge he had strack was only a pocket or not, Mr. Wilkinson went back up the incline a dis- tance of forty feet, and in half a dozen places where the cab was picked away from between the timbers the same marvelously rich rock presented itself. -The greatest excitement pre- vails in the neizhborhood. hundreds of people going to see the new discovery. Some of the privileged few: who have been permitted to oo down into the incline sav that over $100,000 is already assured to the fortunate owners. TURF¥F NOTES.

The 2:16 of Rarus in the face of a gule of wind, and the 2:144 of the same horse two davs later, were feats that the Michizanders will always remem- Ber. “Now.” said a West Side Sunday-school teacher toaclass of -oungsters, Nehuchad- nezzar was sent out’ by the Lord to feed on gvass, just tke the animuls. Why wos Nebu- chadnezzar treated this way?? Then arose a small boy in the rear seat.” whose folks lived near Central Park, and said that Nebuchadnez- 2ar was probably tarned out tograss because he was no good in his class, or bad ““let down” in onc of his hind Jegs. Speaking of the recent record of 2:14} made by Raros. and_the idiotic move of the Grand Central Cirenit Manazers in -barring him from the free-for-ail race, the Sportsman savs: * This wonderful specimen of the American trotter has again thundered at the portals of Old Time, and his recent performance adds poignancy to the feeling of regret that so ereat an animai is this year debarred from any real competition in the purses of the sapient Circuit mavagers.” Mr. Granger Swith, of this city, is the posses- sorof a fine colt just foaled ut the Lonaview stock tarm of Col. Crockett, near Moline, Iil. ‘Thedam is” out of the same dam as the cele- brated mare Lula, and the sire is Richmont, a fine blood bay by Almoot, owned by Col. Crockett, and one of the likelist young stallions in this vicimty. His colt closely rescmbles him, ana was presented to its owner as a mark of esteem by his fatber-in-law, Col. Crockett. ‘When Tnie TRIBGNE makes a mistake reqard- ing the owpership of a broken-down trotting mare, the editor of the Zury considers the mat- ter of sufficient importance “to warrant aleaded brevier editorial parizraph; but when Rarus trots in 2:143¢, the sccond best record in exist- ence, no editorial meation is made of the fact. ‘When Smugeler secures a mare, the news is blazoned to the world at ouce by the Turf. It makes some difference which side of the Zury’s bread is buttered. The following thoroushbreds were shipped to England last week by the steamer Wisconsin, all but onc having been Taised by Mr. 3.

Tam told that thelower classes—always ex- cepting the 60,000 or 70,000 1azzaroni, who bave ceased to exist as a body, but continue, as individuoals, very effectively to prey upon the stranger—are remarkable for their fruzal and fndustrious habits. I suppose this is so, though the visible results which elsewhere usually tol- low the thriftiness of a population are absent from Naples. However, my personal observa- tion of the workingman was limited to watching some masons emofoyed on a building in process of erection a little higher up on the opbosite side of the strada. -I was first attracted by the fact that the men were planing the blocks of fawn-colored stonc and readily shaping them witn knives, as if_the stone had been cucese or soap. It was, in effect, a kind of calcareous tufa, which is soft when newly quarried, and gradu- ally hardens on exposure. It isuot a difficult ‘material to work in, but the masous set to the task with that deliberate care -not to_strain themselves which I had admired in the hornv- banded laboring man in various partsof Italy. At intervals of twoor three minutes the stone- cutters—there were seven of them—would sud- Qenly suspend operations, and without auy per- ceptible provoestion fall into a violent dispute. It looked as if they were coming to blows; buc they were only engaged in . amicable zussmi. ur. of the price of macareni, or of that heartless trick which Cattarina played Giuseppe the night Le- :351¢.
