In this respect {be Scoteh system is certaiuly fairer than the American systen, for the shareholders choose tLeir Directors, and have opportunities for jnrestigaling ihe management which depos- jtors never have. Inthe case of the Glns- ow bank, the Dircctors worlked upon the ccd of the shareholders, who were willing to let the speculstion go on 5o long as thoy received their 12 per cent dividends, and did not care to inquire into the means whereby {his excessive profit was derived. But they will pay dearly for their - foolish ava- yice. Already cvery holder of a $500 sire bos been culled on to pay up <2500 after making an entiro loss of his ;w’nh The capital of the bank was $5,000,- 000, and, if the loss hes been correctly stated at £30,000,000, the sharcholders will lose at Joast six times their original investment. If 5 Jarge pumber of the shareholders shall be bankrupted before they ean pay up the calls upon theu, then s still heavier loss will fall upon the others. As there are 1,249 share- Dolders, the failure is almost s much of a pular dissster as if it fell upon depositors.

Under the appropriate head of * Reason and Rowdyism,” the Boston Aduertiser relates what happened a¢ Eaele Hall in that city last Sunday evening. 1t says that *One of the societies of Splritualists holds regular meetings in that hall, where they discuss Spiritualism and other re- tigious and social subjects. For the past two or three weeks these gatherings have been in- vaded by fat-money orators, aud the evenings devoted to discussing the finan- cial question from the tiat point of view.” But & majority of the regular -atttendants arenot that kind of lauatics, and they deter- mined thata little sound doctrine should be mired with the falee, so Mr. Tnomas M. Nicuoz, of Chicaro, Secretery of the Honest-Mouey Leazue, who has béen taking part in the cam- paimn, was invited to address the Society last Sunday evening on * The Moral Aspects of the Fiosucial Issues Now Before the Country,” and beaccepted the invitation. On arriving at the hallhe found that two other gentlemen were expected to speak orietly,—one on the hard and the other on the soft money side,—and that’ after they were through he should have thirty misates to present his views, and the remainder of the evening would be devoted to general criticisms on the idess advanced by the leadiog epeskers.

That they are absolutely incapable of keeping a secret is » fact which finds fresh itflustrazion by the recent con- duct of one of them in Philadelphia. Mrs. Iaxnrier W. Patst is the lady referred to, aud the case is:this: By personal experience 1 ¢du- cational matters she is well qualitied for the position of Schoot Director, aud bas the dis- tinction of being the only woman who ever served in that vosition in Philadelphia, her col- league, Mrs. WorLrrer, who was clected at the same time, in the Thirtcenth Ward. having died between election-day and the bey ber term. At a recent meeting of the School Board the Directors were discussing, inforinal- 1y, the names of candidates for teachers, pre- vious to zoing into nomination, when the lady Dircctor brought consternation into the circle by remarking: “I have this day been visited Dy the mothier of a young lady, Who has offered me a bribe of £100 for my vote. The position being worth $400, she says she can readily spare §100 from the first year to make it sccure.” Such a breach of etiquette had never been heard of before, as the subscquent proceedings will illustrate. To tell of being offered a bribe; and not taking it, was a uew thing to a ward politician in Philadelphia, where * multiplica- tion, division, and silence” is a venerated motto, and one of the Board remarked in a righteous tone: * Until a iady came into this Board such a thing as a bribe has néver been heard. of in our discussious.” *¢ It is possible.” replied the fearless lady, “had 1 accepted the offer I should myself have felt great diflidence inreporting it.”" It is needless to add that the application of that candidate was not called up for nomination.

He said that he had always held open-communion views, aud, as to Church government. he thought the Baptist Church was inconsistest in having close communion, yet recogmizing other Churches as truly Churches. Hethought mo form was essential, but that forms shoull change to suit circumstances. Yet neheld that the ideal Episcopal form came nearer to the New Testament teaching thanany other.

The Race mystery bas, if the witnesses can be believed, at last been cleared up. After two weeks of perplexing inquiry, and after the ex- amination of dozens of wituesses, noue of whom were able to positively identify the real mur- derer of the unfortunate police-otlicer, an unex- pected relief camo yesterday in the person of a colored woman who said she had been an eye- witness of the murder, and who, in the pregence of the Coroner’s jury and.a crowded court- room, pointed out the man who had done the bloudy deed. The inquest began in -a hum- drum wauner, and bade fairto be but a repe: tition of the previous sessions. DR. I, 3. SMITIL, of No. 1041 Indfana avenue, testified that he was, at about 4 o'clock on the day of the mur- der, at, the pawnshop of Friedberg, wishing to purchase a watch. The witness stood talking with Friedberg at the door, and just then two men in a spring wagzon droveun. The horse was a whitish-zray, and he could identify him again. The horse was jaded. He had « dark spot on thé left side of the neck. e had subsequently been shown a horse at the police- station which was the same horse. One of the men entered the pawnshop aud the other re- maived on the scat. Friedbers recognized the man, and_acked the witness to excuse him a minute. Friedbers shook hands with the man, and went back into the store, where the two ¢n- gaged in conversation. Ile could recognize the enif he saw them. (The witness was here shown the photographs % Williams and the *Sneeny,” but did not identify them with the two men whom he had seen at che pawnshon.) He had been shown the four men Dow in custody, aud could not identify any of them. - The man who went into the pawnshop was dark-featured, with u brown mustache and beurd, slightly mixed with gray, and secmed to be about 40 years old. One of the prisoners (Lynnetre) was brought up from his cell and she 1o the witness, who thougnt that he rescmpled the man whom he had scen at the pawnshop, but he could not swear positively. Lamb, auother prisones also brought up, and bim, tov, the witness fail- ed to identify. MICTAEL SCHACK, detective on the city police forve, testitied that on the nizht of the murder he was walking along Indiana street with another. officer.” 1t was about 10 o’clock. He metr Driscoll fn a saloon at the corner of Market, who asked him to take a drink, Driscoll had been arrested the dav before, and bad_just given buil and gotten out of the station. The witness took a cigar, and then called Driscoll out and told him to 10 keep away from that saloon. e promised that he would. The witness then, with Officer Whalen, went along Market to Kinzie street, and in - the _alley saw three men, one of whom was Lamb. As soon as Lamb saw them he started away quickly. The witness thought this was strange, because he had talked with Lamb for a long time the day be. fore, and they were well acquainted. (The wit- ness was shown the prisoner Lane, and identl- fied him as one of the three) At aboutl o’clock that night the witness was called out of bed by two oflicers, who told him_that Officer Race had been killed by thieves. He got up and met Supt. Dixon, who told him to look out for that particalar gang whose leadquarters were in the saloon ac the corner of Indizaa and Mar- ket street. Driscoll was arrested at apout § o'clock that morning. The witness questioned Driscoll, who told bim he had been in the sa- joon all the eveningz previous. The saloon- keeper, however, told him that Driscoll had just come into the suloon before the witness did that cvening. The witness knew Lamb, Lane, Durfve, the Sheeny. snd Griflin to be profcssional thieves. The day before the shoot- ing, while talking with Lamb, that person had told bim that he would never be arrested again, for he would either get away or be hunt. 1 P. WEINAND, .. : ol f No. 43 Harmon court, a saloon-keeper, festi- fied that on the night 'of the murder he was standing in his saloon_when a man came in who seemed greatly excited, and asked for 10 cents’ worth of whisky, at the same time taking out a little pocket-flask. The witness thought at the time that he was a “crook.” The man hastily left after paying for the drink. At this point a dramatic scene took place. Lane was brought into the court-room, but the witness failed to iceutify him. Lamb was then orouzhit up, and the witness said: **No; that is not the man.” Just then Lamb turned partly around, and a colored woman.sitting on a bench among the witnesses exclafned : 4 GENTLEMEN, THAT'S THE MAN that was sitting fn the wagon. That's the very one.” Supt. Dixon immediately ealled the woman to the witness chair. She testified that her name was Josephine Chapman, and that she lived at No. 186 Fourth avenue. On the night’ of the murder she was coming out of Fredigke’s drug- store, at about 9:45, and saw a wagon with a whité horse standing in front of the pawn-shop. Two men were in_the wagon, and Officer Race was on the sidewnlk. The officer started to lift up the cloth tnat was in the back part of the wagon, when ope of the men said, * Any — T hiat stops this wagon will be a dead man.” A moment after the other man jumped off and ran mcross the strect. “I'he first man sat still, and a moment after be drew a revolver and shot the oflicer in the head. She partially identified the murderer as Jounny Lamb who had just been shown to her. ‘This testimony created an ihimense sensation. Supt. Dixon agatn caused Lamb to be produced, und had a slouch hat placed on his head. The witness again aid firmly, * Yes, sir, that’s the man that did the shooting.” Lamb trembled, complexion turned pale. He v taken away. There was great the court-room. ~Supt. Dixon excitement in said, ©* Weve struck the truth at Jast.” One of the jurors wanted to know why this witness hiad tiot been brought in before. Supt. Dixon exvlained.that it bad been diflicult to zet Told of ull the witnesses, exceptashe could hear of them here and there. The murder taking place on the public street rendered it fmpossible to know exactly just who were there. The witness repeated; ber story. She said Officer Raco asked the man what he had ot inthe wazon. Lamb reolied, fiercely, *Any —— —— that stops this wagou or takes me ofl ‘is a dead man.” She noticed him particularly because ot the extraordinary language. 1f Lamnb were placed before her in a” erowd of a nundred men she could pick him out. This closed the testimony and the jury re- tired, but soon returned with the following’ VERDICT: We, the jury, ind that the said Albert came 10 his death on the 4th day of October, 187 from a pistol-shot wound from a revolver m the hands of John Lamb, and we believe that the fol- lowing parties: James Driscall, James Griftin (alias Orr), George Freeman (alias Sheeney), John Melvin, Willlam Lynett, Witliam Lane, aud Philo Durphy, were accessory to the crime, and we ask the Coroner to hold the said parties without luil to await the action of the Grand Jury. We alio de- sire to express it as onr opinivn that Lessor Fried- burzis possessor of a guilty knowledge of this whole matter. & i D. M. Tockes, Foreman. C. PARELSEN. G, S. Jusuexicu. J. W, Ennuax. W.'C. Swrrn. . 11 Gasox. 1t is a curious circumstance that the last wit- ness, out of a dozen appearing before the Coro- ner’s jury, was the most importaot. The col- ored ‘woman, Josephine Chapman, swore yes- terday that John Lamb was one of the two mnen in the express wagon; that Lamb threatened to shoot the officer; .that the other man then jumped out of the wagon; that the officer gtarted to lift the cloth in the wazon covering the stolen” goods; "that then Lamb fired the {atal shot. This puts a new aspect on the case, as it has generally been taken for granted that the man who jumped out of the wagon first did the shooting. Bertna Harvey, a witness in the hzbeas corpus case 1n behalf of Friedberg, the pawnbroker, testified that tEe youur man who brought the goods into the pawnshop was dressed in biack, gna wore.s cap. Patrick Harvey testitied that the man was low-statured, clean-shaven, wear- ing 8 soft hat and black clothes. * Dr. J. J. Smith testified that there were two men in the wagon, pawnshop. As the shot was lired the man on the east side of the wagon jumped. off and ran across the street, but he was not the man who fired the shot. This witness ran into the mid- dle of the street to intercept the murderer, who bad turned his horse vorth and was driving away. The man was dark-complexioned and had o mustache. The wiluess was shown John Lamb in the court-room, and then testilied that to his best knowledee and beliel Lamb was the man, but he could not swear toft. Peter Ott testifiad that ou the night of the murder Lamb, Lane, Durphy, Lynette, Driscoll, Griflin, and Dennis were in his_saloon at 6 o’clock. At 11 o'clock Lamb and Melville came iuand had a drink. Lamb was greatly excited, and borrowed a dollar ot him. John Gillen testifled to having scen Lamb in MeMahon’s saloon, — corner of Indiana and Market streets, at 11 o'clock on the night of the murder; that Lamb sat in a chair and watcned a_game of pool, but said nothing to anyhodv. Willlam Larramore testi fied that he was two lots and a half away when the shot was fired; that e saw a mian run across the stréet; that a yellow animal wus in frout of him,—either a eab or 4 dog,—and wit- ness expected to hear another shot. The witness could not identify cither this man or the one in the wagon. Sylvester Leser, a boy, testitied that he was with Larramore and saw o mun eomc out of the pawushov and get into the wagon, 1 which was another man sitting down. When the shot was fred the man sitting down jumped off from the wagon and ran towards the . e didn’t know which fired the shot, nor could he identity the men. These were all the important witnesses that were oo the stand before yesterday’s examina- tion. LAMEB INTERVIEWED ABOUT IT. John Lamb, the latest- candidate for the gal- lows in Cook County, is a thin-faced and dark- featured man of about 33 ycars. IHe wears a black mustache, and bis countenance is ren- aered striking by a pair of piercing black eycs. Ilis form is slender, and those policemen who Bave kuown him for many years say that he was formerly stouter and possessed of no ordluary miuscle, and that hard drinking has reduced him to his present condition. e is a product of Chi- catro slums, having been brought up from child-' hood in this city. Ue has now a mother resid- ine on West Fourteenth street, but itisa long time since he has lived at iome. " He has been werooked ” for about twenty years, and has had acareful training in the art of burglarv from the most eminent professionals. Columns might be filled with a recital of his exploits. Yet, with his record so well known aud so easily proven, he stood before the TRIBUGSE reporter vesterday evening, and, with tears.in his eyes, protested his tnnocence of the . crime now charged against him. To bear him tulk one would think him au honest working- never deviated from the path of re itude.
