Thompson cams to his death by accident by reagon of falling a distance of sixiy feet down an_elevator-way in the building known'as Nos. and 153 Fifth ave- uue, i this cily. owned by N. §. Kay. The jury deem it their duty lo censure the owner of tne building in which the young man met his horrible deatb: First, for allowing an eclevator to e used in common by several diffcrent firms without hay- ing some proper person in_exclusive charze of it; second. for leaving the zpproactics to the elevator- way entirely unguarded, except by such as are afforded by the orcinary door ana fasteuings, witn no extra ‘fastenings, guards,.or nolice thereon. The jury are fully of tue opinion that decens came to bis death from one or the other of th two defects, both of which existed not only in tne elevaror in question, but which the jury sre credi- bly informed exist in many other elevators m this city. ‘The jury, therefore, take this occagion to invite the attention of the preper city authorities 10 the 1mportance of un ordinance providing for more carefnl mansgement of,tlits class of convey- ‘suce 60 gencraliy 1n use in the City of Chicago. THE MEXICAN HEGIRA. The “Excursion-to-Mexico™ party departed last night at 7 o'clock, two hours after the ex- pected bour of leaving, owing to the delay of iraivs cowming into tsis city. The excursionists gatherea zt the Palmer House during the atter- noow. ‘fwo large pariors were assigued to their use, and for ceveral hours theé meimnbers of the delegation beld an acquaintapce-making social of a very informal aud cacerful nature. It is sale 10 say that before the bour of starting everybody knew almost everybody clse,—a thing zreatly to be destred in matters of like_charac- ter,—and as_iar as.could be noticed every- Vody was pleased with everybody else. At 3 o’clock a dinner was served in the late-dinoer room of the hotel. The menu was perfect, the arrauzement of the tables artistic, and the 5pirits of the party in keeping with the circum- stances and surroundings. At halt-past 6 o'clock carriages conveyed the travelers o the llinois Central depot, wherea special train of three Pullmau *&leoesrs,” two parlor smoking- cars, and one bagrace car awaited them.

There was no demand for coin, either gold or silver, and the outgo was all in currency. The coin-window has closed for the time being, and currency is more popular, be- cavse more convenient, than silver and gold. The subscriptions to 4 per cent bonds yesterday amounted to §13,100. [FROZEN. The _following document was received at Army Headquarters yesterday raorning: HranguarTins Fonr Mrssouia, - December, 1878.—70 the Assistant AlYg!M!-Gmml. diead- quariers Depariment of Dakota. St. Paul. Minn. —Sin: I have the honor to report that on the morning of Sunday, the Sth inst., First-Lient. ‘Thomas S. Wallace, Third Infantry, left this post {or the purpose of hunting in the mountains on the Jeft side of the Bitter Root® River, opposite the fort. Early in the afierncon he parted from the company of Second-Licat Frank P. Avery, Third unicy, in What is kuows as O'Brien's Cenon, . the two officers takMg gulches on oppo: ides of the canon. Lient. Avery retnrned to the post at 5 P. m. on the §tb, and Lieut. Wallace should have reached hereabout thesame time. On the following morning, alarmed at his prolonged absence, I sent parties ont in search of bim, aud since then every effort has been made o trace snd find him. but without avail, until vesterday, when his dead body was discovered by a citizen on the riznt bank of the (main) Miesouri River, sbout ecight wiles below the town of Mizsoula, some distance from the water's edge. * The, probability is that Lient. Wallace came down te the river after dark, and that in_crossing he was plunged into water beyond his deptir, and, although bLe succeeded in making the crossing ne lost his horse, which came into the post on the morning of the 10th inst., and, being benumbed with cold, he sank down and’ perisbed from cold and exhadstion. 1am, sir, _very respectfully, your obedient servant, H. 8. Cuiruay, Major Third Infantry, Commanding Post, JUDGE BLODGETT. Mention was made a day or so ago of a small petition in circulation amouy business men, praying for an investizatiou of .the allezed charges against Judge Blodeett. It was sent on to Washington yesterday. It is understood to have been signed by about 1,800 persons. It was headed - by_the” How. B.-W. Raymond, ex-Mayor of 'Chicago, now - President of the Elgin Watch Company. Among other sizners_were C. M. Henderson & Co., R. 1. Cranc & Co., some of the Roots, Vergho, Runl- i & Co., Mr. Van Schaack, Meers, Bates & Co., Henry Whitbeck, A. E. Bishop, and S." M. Wilcox. The petition will be circulated Monday for more names. It is understood that Judge Blodgett, as was intiated some time ago, 18 seeking an investigation, and that his friends wil! make a move to that end at Washington us s00n us the session comnences. Some - one ot them, it is believed, will move the appointment ol u special committee, for the purnose of _ getting the start, if possible, of Mr. Harrison, leaving that gentleman out in the cold with his resolution ¢f, indeed, he makes ap s nind to offer any. It Mr. Hur- rison should get in first, it is understood that the motion to be made by Judge Blodgett's friends will be to have the subjecs referred, not to 4 special committee, but Lo the one to which it-secws legitimately to belung, the Judiciary Committee of the House. = Judge’ Blodgeit’s friends are unanimous in_the belief tnat the juvesrigation will result in whatever comn- mittee may make it declining_to recommend to the House the adoptfon of the articles of - peschment. THE CITY-HALL. The Serip Clerk paid out 84,000 for miscella- " neous salaries. Eight cases of scarlet fever were reported to the Health authorities. The Collector gathered in $600 from licenses and special assessments. ¥ Over sixty licenscs were issued last week for extra teams to be used in bauling ice. Tobe Committee on Fire and Water and the Mayor will meet Tuesday to consider the esti- mates of the Fire Department. The cold weather has & marked effect on the receipts in the Water Office. As soon as weather *softens™ & little the delinquents will be looked after. 3 City Clerk Butz turned over $2,535 to the Treasurer yesterday, that being the amount col- lected by him in fees during 1878. There was an excess of $1:000 over 1877. ‘The Treasurer’s receipts were: Water Office, $1,489; Collectory; 51615 Comptroller, - 31315 Towu-Collector Ayres, 39,677 in scrip; total, $11,410. He paid out $7,000. The report of the Eealth Officer for December shows the following: Notices served.to abate nuisances, 333; nuisances abated, 54U; dead aunimals removed, 3375 pounds of bad meat con- demned, 35,908; cost of day scavenger-work, $1,209.; The Mayor and the City-Attorney consider the resolution fo relation to shuttine off the mas, it the companies do.not couseat to take $1.30 o thousand feet, is defective in that it does 1oL require notice, so as to allow the authorities time t0 make arranrements for putting up lamps for some other illuminating material. His Honor will perhaps veto it for this reason. The following transfers in the Police Depart- ment will take effect Mouday: Reuben Slayton and Thomas Trayner to Central Station for de- tective service; John A. McDonald tu Hurrison street for special duty; James E. Farrell to Cot- tage Grove/avenue, John M. Lacy t6 Twenty- second strect, Heury Carraher, August Hum- brock, and Henry C. Scott to 'Twelfth strect; Joun Whecler,Edonard Halle, Henry I’ Norris, and Terrence Fitzpatrick to Hinman street; James Foxj to Twelfth street, William C. Mor- ris to Third precinet, George . Sanford to Second preciuct, Alexander Bold to Third pre- cinct. Since Treasurer Larrabee considers the call on him by the Council for an_account of the com- missions or interest received by bhim on city woney deposited in banks as a demand for an exposition of his private affairs, Ald. Tuley, the author of the resolution, says that the commis- sions, cte., are not the property of Mr. Larrabee. a decision in the “ 821 Ilhnois, a public officer is entitled only to the salary or fees allowed by laws If the Treasurer pockets the ioterest, in Mr. Tuley’s Mr. _ Larrabce and his honds- iable. He tbinks steps ousht to be taken to require all officials to turn over their extra fees. The cause of wunicipal cor- ruption lay in the rich oflices, because conven- tions and voters were Lribed, and minor offices traded off to secure an election to them. When Mr. Larrabec secds in his reply, there will doubtless Le a good deal of talk in the Council, mainly by Democrats, as no member of that party holds an office which yields much of an incoine. THE COUNTY BUILDING. Judge Williams comes to the Criminal Court to-morrow. The Collector of Niles filed his bond yester- day and took his books. Johu C. Richberg, attoruey for Kern, will to- morrow apply for an order in tne County Court to commence the recount of the ballots cast for Sheriff at the late election. The West Town Collector’s bovks were fin- ished yesterday, and the Collector’s hond has heen fixed at $7,000,000.

Callaban, the boot and shoe man South Bend, renewed his cffort to get out of jail vesterday on a writ of hfbeas corpus. Al he succeededgin was o getting his bail reduced, buc this did him uo grood, for it was only u few woents later tbac the Grand Jury returned two indictmentsugainst bim. - Charley Ross, charsed with burglary, tried the same game, with like results. There was ouly one jndictment re- turoed agaiust him, however. Tue Committee oo Public Service will teport to the Board to-morrow in the mat- ter of purchosing other supplics than those advertised to be contracied for, and recommend that the heads of each d partment send ip their requisitions every month a week in advance, and that duplicate copies of the same be made out and sent to reputable business houses for bids, ete., and that the purchases month after month be made of the lowest bidders. ‘The Committee on Jail and Jail Accounts met yesterday afternoon to consider the Sherifls vay-roll for December, and aiter some discus- &ion it was azreed to send it back for correction. The pay-roll pavs for twelve Deputies being vaid $2,000 per year, while the Board has only made an appropriation for eight at $2,000, and all the others at $600. As has Lefore been stated, there Js trouble alicad, and unldss the whole matter is speeeily and amicably adjusted more resignations will be in order. Some threats in this dircetion bave already been made, The Republican members of the County Board met in catcus at the Iremont House Friday night, and acreed upon electing C. H. Willett as County Attorney. One of the reasons this officer has not been before elected is that James T. Root bad been agreed upon for the place, but, searching up his record, they could not stand by him, on account of an opinion he-ren- dered some years ago. That opinion was, in eifect, that the Cominissioners’ pay was fixed by the statutes at §2.50 for the days they were actually at work for the county, and that they had norieht to fix their pay at $5 per day, or #py otber sum, and charge for every day in the year.

Oneof the eleven chansed on the next _ballot, when the vote stood 10 to 13. On the third and final ballot,—the reballoting being urged by some, though out of order,—I8 were against and 5 for an indictment. No excuse for the strange voting "could be -zotten other than several who werein favor of atrue pill would not vote with the original cleven, because they had voted for the indictment of someof their friends, etc., potably the murderers of Knecht.

INSANE CASES. JOEL MENRY WELLS. The jury in tbe case of Joel Henry Wells, who was on trial Friday for insanity, brought in asealed vcrdic't vesterday morning finuing the old gentleman insane. When Judge Loomis reached the court he found on his desk a pack- age of notes from the unfortunate man. The one appended tells the story of all of them: Coox COUNTY JAIL, Jan. 4, 1870.—70 the Hon- oruble Judge Loomis: 1 respectfnlly appeal to your honor, in case: the verdict i3 ugainst me, to allow me inysclf ‘at once to make und armue & motion for unew jrial, confining me to ffteen minutes’ time. My.attorney, Mr. Brady, is capa- ble, kind, aud coutizeons, but he does not under- stand all the bearing of the case. ¥ JoeL Hexny WELLs. When Mr. Wells was brought into .court to receive the verdict he was very much éxcited, for ho had anticipated what the verdict would be, and verbally asked to be heard. The Court indulged nim, and for a few minutes he spoke most feeiingly and earnestly, the tears coursing down his checks as he spolte. He wanted anew trigl, and complained that his attorney had not understood his case, and furthcrmore, had re- fused to allow him to zet witnesses, ete. His remarks were ineoherent and disjointed, und clearly showed tbe pitiable condition to which he uad been brougit by overwork and too great mental strain. - The Court ordered_him temporarily ¢onfined at the County Hospital with a view to interceding to get him admitted to the Elgin Asylum, and he was at once _taken there, but they would not accept him. ‘He was then placed in the County Jail, and to- morrow will be removed to Jefferson. His {riends are hopeful that rest and treatment will speedilv restore bim, and they Wil spare no pains to see that all is done for him that can be. GEORGE A. BLAIKIE. The tral of George A. Blaikie, the Fidelity Bauk robber, on thecharee of insanity, was con- tinued yvesterday in the Councy Court, e was present, and in a partcularly pleasant mood, and listened to the evidence with great interest. The witnesses éxamined were those who had been examined on his former trial, aud nothing new was clicited from any of them. The feature of the aay was Blaikie’s cwn testimony. He said hie was jusage, in fact, and furthermore that he wanted to be_sent to an asyluw. All were astonished at.:the evidence, just as they -had been on the former trial, and what iie testified to was the most positive and dircet proof adduced. His memory was tested and found to be perfect, Le not only belng able to go into the more recent details of his business, but also Lo trav- erse his -personal history for years back with sncilzdfldumy and miouteness as few sune men could, . After the evidence had all been presented Judge Woodbridze addressed the jury in & very pathetie and svmopathiziog strain, urging the importance of Blaikie being found insane,—the importance to Lis family, his affianced, and him- self,—holding ‘that whether he was found in- supe or not, he would never be convicted of the Tobbery. . ‘The "case was given to'the jury about 1 o’clock, #nd an hour later a verdict was brought. in, of which the foilowing is a copy : STATE or ILuiNoi, CoUNTY OF COOR: the undereigned, jurors in the case of George A. Blaikie, who is alleged w be insane, having heard the evidence in the case, are satisfied that George A. Blaikic is insane, and 18 a fit person to be & 0 a hogpital for the insitne; Lhiat be 1s a resident of the County of Cook, in the State of Illinois; that his age is J2 years; that bis disease is of Lwo years' duration; that the cause is ill health and excessive use of tobacco; that the disease is with him heredi- tary; that he is not subject to epilepsy: that he does manifest homicidal und suicidal fendencies, and that bic 13 not a pauper. . izorce P Cuxy Cuvier C, I AysERT W.

As eoon as it had been read, Judze Woodbridze jumped up, smiling at his victory, and shook hands wich Blaikie’s parents. Blaikie did not wince, how- ever, nor Were there any cvidences of emotional feeling in any direction. , The costs of the trial were paid in"a few minutes, and 2 momeut later an oraer was made out for_the incarceration of the insane man in the Asyium at Jefferson. ‘While this was going on, Blaikie and bis intend- ed bride were in close conversation, the attor- ney was buzzing the reporters, and the crowd around were marveling over the resultof the trial, und saying what-they would have doue ‘had they been jurors. About 3 o’clock Blaikie took leave of the Court, shaling bands with bis affianced. kissing 20 aunt, aud passing fs parents uonoticed. He Was to have becn taken to Jeflerson during the afternoon, "but it is not believed that he'was, because he was turned over to the hands of a friend of the family.

Argument -for the Defenge in the Trial at Hartford, Spectal Dispatch to The Tribune. Harrrorp, Coon., Jan. 4.—The arguments in the Charter Oak conspiracy case ended to-day with the finisbing of the able argument by Mr. Hyde for the accused. He claimed that during the twenty months of Furbe’s coatrol he drew only $121,000 uuder the contract under which he contributed the assets, and that during the rar oriod the Company’s profits were a round million. § . 1. wate denounced this contract as frauda- lent. but the Jewell settlement, when Furber left the Company, was based upon it, and the settlement . being approved by - Jewell, Scoator Eaton, and others. was rood proof that the original contract was lezul. Hyde claimed that the Valley Road bonds and Wigea- pum - mortgage were bad investments by . the old management, for _which Furber was not responsible, yet he took these worthless assets and converted them into New York real estote, which paid G per cent interest. The Allen, Stevens & Co. blanket wortzage for over $1,000,000 was another reljc of the old man- agement, and Furber’s efforts to realize some- thing for the Company from it led to an attack by other creditors, with the idea of erippling the Company and getting it into the hands of a Re- ceiver, who could be more easily influenced than Furber. The West Virginia investment was bettered Ly increasing the security, and, in short, every cffort of the accused was devoted to straighten- ing out and improving the nssets. The speaker cloimed that defendants were un- justly held responsible for the sealing of gulicies, which became necessary under the ewell manngemeant, when toe fact was, this was necessitated by the falling off of the premium receipts in consequence of attacks on the Com- pany, and .resulting_apprehensions of policy- bolders in this trial.” He said defendants had be- cun under the disndvantaze of public opinion azainst them, and tiis justified the taking ad- vantage of all their legal rights. He entered an earnest protest against the course pursaed 1n the closing arcument for the State in ursing any juror who had the slightest doubt of the in- nocence of the accused to stand out ngainst_the others and secure disagreement. s, Hyde said, was contrary to the well-established princi- ple thattheaccused should always have the bene- fit of the doubt, and thesugrestionseemed to in- dicate that the State, feeling uncertain of con- viction, desired to inflict upon the accused the great expense of auother trial, and ruin them financially. The jury, be said, should also con- sider the Tact that early in the trial the Judge refused to iet the case 7o to the Supreme Conrt on an imvortant guestiou of law,—whether the acts alleged were high or simple misdemeanor, —and decided Lo 2o on with the trial pro jorma with the object of seeinz what the evidence would bring fortb. Therelore, 2s the trial had been held, and the evidence did not prove erim- inal conspiracy, Mr. Hyde claimed that the de- tendants were entitled to speedy acquittal, The Court adjourned to Tuesday next, when the Judge will deliver nis charge. —_— SUICIDE.

In whatever department of the -world’s in- dustries men engage, or whatever entL-.rurxsEs they culist, successisthe aim and object of their effort, but only those are successful who bring experience and good judgment to their undertakings. Success is not a thing of luck, but the result of well-directed efforts based upon the laws of cause ond effect. The People’s Building & Loan Association of this city, No. 90 Washinzton street, has fully realized these facts in its management. It was orzanized less than five yearsago, when the first series of stock was iesued payable in weekly in- stallments of 12}¢ cents per share. This consti- tuted nll the capital, and no oue outside of a very limited circle knew that such an associa- tion had been formed-in Chicazo; bot to-day, 20 into almost any business bouse in the city and vou will find young nfen who are interested in it eitbier as a'place’ of safety to put their small weekly savings, or in, paying for their homes “which the Association has lcaned them money’ to build or buy. Its assets have now. reached the sutn of $150,000, and are increasing at the rate of from $75,000 to $100,000 per aunum. A new series is opened every quarter. The one thousand shares to be issued Jan. 6, inst., ayable 1235 cents per weck per share, have all geen subscribed for in advance. This Associa- tion was modeled after, and conducted upon the same plan, as those in Philadelphia, where the grandest results have beeu realized. No savings and loan system has ever been de- vised and earried nto practical effect with such resuits, and any persons who are not familiar with their workings should embrace the first op~, portuuity to fnform tnemseives. : ————— MILWAUKEE BOARD OF TRADE.
