He said he cawe from the crcle of Andrew Jackson Davis 10 meet Abraham, lsssc, and Jacob, who would register at the Sherman as soon as the house was warmed up.. They failed to appear. and Lie expressed the utmost surpnise that they didn’t come at the appointed time.. He was unable to account for their failure to make counection. Mr. Cobb took wno swock in his talk, {but made ioquiries 2¢ to why the hotel should be made the rendezvous of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and William Redfield. He ascertained that the unfortunate uest was 8 well-to-do farmer residing near Marengo, in this State, who had become crazy on the subject of religion, and who, during one of his parox- ¥sms, had escaped from his zuardians. He was carefully wefched during the day, and sent home last night in care of a proper custodian. The first special dinner of the year to the guests of the Pacific and their friends Was ° piven last eveningz, The table was _supplied with several almost un- heard-of dclicacies, and a regular banguet was the result. Dancing was annolnced for 8 o'clock, and at that time the guests found Johnny Haud’s orchestra in the main hall, which had been properly covered with canvas and prepared for the bail. Aoout 200 of the zuests and their friends enjoyed the occasion fully. The scene was beautiful, and the larze pariors and halls brilliantly lighted. were filled with pumerous lookers-on as well as partici- pants. Dancing was kept up until quite late in the evening. Nothicg was done yesterday in_the way of securing a building for the Post-Office, and the same state of uncertainty will Drsbably continue for some time. The arrangemedts in the pres- ent location bave been so made that, in case of a prolonged stay, the working of the office will not be impeded. There has been considerable complaint during the last iew days in regard to the numerous cases of petty thefts in the lvob- bies and at the entrance of the Post-Office. Yes- as Mr. A. 8.

The lady having obtained the pocketbook refused to give her name, but there were witnesses enough 10 secure his conviction. There have been sev- eral similar cases of late in_the vicinity of the Post-Office, and it is hoped that this capture will but 2 stop to it. Dr. Bernhard Miller, editor of the Volksfreund, a Germain deity of this city, died at 11 o’clock yesterdav forenoon in his apartments in the Germania House, on Randolph strect. He had been iil for some time, but did not consider bis case 50 serious us to require a physician, Last Friday and Saturday he was taken worse, and was oblized to keep to bis bed from that time on. He was born au Dresden in 1833, his father at the time beme an employe of the Koyal Department of State. He studied at Leipsic’ and Marburg, and, after fivishinz his studies, was eugaged upon the Conversatiuns-Lexicou, then being published by Brockhaus. Thence he went into journalisni, and was enmaged upou the Vienna aod Berln press. In 1871 he was editor of the Berlin Borsen- Zeitung. While in this position he concluded to come to America. His first years in this coun- try were spent in unewspaper work upon the ew York Handelsze'tung, and then upon the Cleveland Anzeger, the Philadelphin Free Press, and the Banner and Vo kwlatt of Milwaukee. In October of last year he came to this city to take a leadinz position upon the Volksreund. He was accounted an able and vigorous writer, and commanded the respect of his numerous {riends jn German as well as German-American Jjournalism. Coroner Mann held an inquest upon the re- maios, and found that death was unmistakably cansed by faity degeneration of the heart. The remains “were then taken in charze bv Elton, and from his place the funeral will take place Monday noon. THE PLUMBER’S DAUGHTER.

It was incorporated in 1867, its object|being to create a fund for the relief of- distressed, sick, injured, and disabled members, aod it was tur- ther provided that one-eiehth of the fire-insur- ance rates aonually paid into the City Treacury to create a fund for disabled firemen should be patd by the Comptroller to_the Association, to be nvested as & trust fund. In January, 1863, the Commou Council, by ordinance, difccted the Comptroller to pay this one-eighth to the abuve Association, and this was done aonually uutil January, Since that time the Compuroller I bowever, rctained this amouant, claiming that the act of ch, 1867, and the ordinauce ot J: uary, 1863, above mentioned, giving the JAssocia- tion this money, were repealed by the general act of the Legisluture entitled ** An Act for the relief of disabled members of the Police and Fire Departments 1o cities and villages,” passed May 24,.1877. The Assodation denies that such is the 1act, and asks to have a judicial interpreta- tion ol the latter act, and a decree vompelling the Comptroller to pay over the sum already acerued. S " PUBLIC LIBRART. : A semi-montbly meeung of the Chicagp Pablic Library Board was_held. yesterduy after- noon. ' D. L. Shorey presided, and_there were present Messrs. Onahan, Scranton, Loewenthal, aod Hotz. " A communication from Isasc N. Arnold, President of the Historical Soctety, settingtorth that it was the desire of the Societv to obtain certain Government and State documents of which the Librarv held dupticates, and asking their donation to the Historical Society, was re- ferred to the Library Committee. A. R. Chapin was avpuinted to the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Leo J. Meilbelk, the latter Deing a Socialistic member of the Legislature, and absent at Springfield. The meeting then adjourned. ‘Toe Sceretary had prepared a tabulated state- ment of the vouchers drawn against the Library Fund during 1878, and also the resources, which, couLrary to expectation, werenot presented. It showed that the vouchers so drawn amounted 10 §29,210, as follows: Salaries, $13,477; books, $4,593; newsvapers, $1,259; binding, $2,010; furniture, $217; printing and_stationery, $463: heating, $236; "insurance, $30; reut, $3.4%9; lighting, 358: freizht, $263; postage, $193; binding British_patents, $1,258; incidental ex- penses, $429. The resources are stated as fol- Jows: Balance on hand Jaa. 1, $4,9465 appro- prietion of 1878 (unccllected), less 15 per cent reserved by the Mavor, $19,450; scrip issued against the appropristion, 39,308, Total re- sourees, §15,000. COLLECTOR HOFFMANN. The West Town Board, some time ago, re- ferred the matter of the retention of 2 per cent of taxes collected by Collectors Hallinan and Hoffmann to D. J. Avery-and Thomas A. Moran for an opinion 2s to its Iegality. These gentlemen have not yet written out their views, but it 1s said their deciston will be sub- uritted to the Board at a special meeting to be “held the latter part of this week. The facts in Hallinaw’s case are slightly diferent from those in Hoffmand’s. He acted under tlhe resolution of the Council, 60 far as city taxes were con- cerned, allowing Collectors 2 per cent on their collections. Hoffmaun went into oflice atter this action had been rescinded, but followed the precedent set by his predecessors. Mr. Avery, who has the case of the former specinlly ‘under consideration, has not yet reached a conclusion, but what influence the'ace- tion of the Council can have upon the question it is bard to determine. In view of Judge Jameson’s rulings in the Evans case, and the instructions given atter ergument, Mr. Moran is incliced to the belief that Mr. Hoflmann is liable for the 2 per cent. Should Mr. Moran hold to this opin- ion, and Mr. Avery reacha similar oneas to Hallinan, it is quite lisely that the matter will be the subject of litimation. If so, whateyer may Ve theresult in the lower court, an appeal should be taken to _the Supreme Court to the end that 1t may be definitely settled whether the custom which bas prevailed for vearsis or is not sanctioned by law or public policy. FLOUR INSPECTION. A meeting of the tlour-dealers of the Board of Trade was held in the rooms of the Arbitration Commitiee yesterdsy afternoon, A. M. Wrient, Chgirman, G. R. Nichols, Sccretary. Mr. Mon- tague stated that the object for which the meetng was called was to consider necessary changes in the Flour Inspection Department. The present chiefs, Messrs. Creighton and Kath- bone, bad acknowledzed that the revenues of the office were not sufficient to afford the ac- commodations demanded by the pecessities of the trade and leave a reasonable profit tor two Inspectors. it was ‘therefore thought best by some to have but one Chief Inspector, who would be able to conduct the affairs of the office ‘protitably to himself, and make needed im- provements in the way of accomnmodating flour- dealers. Such a change would also do awaf ‘Wwith the evils arising out of 2 cooflict of opin- ion between the Chicfs in grading fiour. It was desirable to bave one man who was solely re- sponsible for the proper inspection of flour, and who womld not be compelled 10 modity bis Jjudement by the views of his associate Chief. Toe speaker was followed by Mr. Crocker, .against his will, cams to the Mr. Scripner, Mr. Densmore, Mr. Baldwio, and others, who expressed themselves as being in favor of tne proposed change. In order to secure a more general expresaion of opinton from the flour-dealérs than coald be had in such a meeting, the followinz motion was made aud carried: That a commlttee of three be appointed by the Chair to -receive the votes by ballot of the four-jobbers, shipping, and commission merchants upon the proposed change—ballot to be taken between the hoursof 11and 1 o'clock Monday, Jan. 13. The Com- mittee to reort to an adjourned meeting of dealers at 1 o’clock Monday afternoon. The Chairman appointed Messrs. Crocker, Montague, and Smith as such Committee, after which the meeting adjourned. ELECTIONS AND INSTALLATIONS. The following officers of Duane Lodge No. 11, 1. 0. 0.

The Comptroller distributed $700 of Treasury warrants in the payment of salaries and in mis- cellaneous accounts. The street and sewerage laborers of the De- partment of rublic Works were paid their December wages yesterdsy. The agregate was $15,000. =~ Toe Treasurer’s receipts. .yesterday were $25.299, of which sum $21,914 was from South Town Collector Ayres, $14,000 in cash, the balance in scrip. Upto date Collector Ayres has turned fo §65,000. Corporation-Counsel Bonficlareturned yester- day from Springfleld, whither he went a few days ago in the interest of 2 new revenue law. He has nothing to say about revenue, and less about revenue matters. He explicitly denies that he is the dark horse in the Senatorial race. The Judiciary Commiltee wasto have met Festerday to consider, among other matters, the proposed conferénce between city and couaty representatives, asto the dbolishing of township organization and the union of North, South, ana West Chicago into “The Town ol Chbicaga:”? There was no quornm. The Mayor has fixed upon James Frake as the suceessor of Inspector Denois in the Board of Education, and will send his name to the Cuuncil Monday vight.

Heis indorsed by someof the strongest men in thecity, and, a5 two-thirds i of the Aldermen are reported to have signed his apoiication, there would seem tobe no doubs as to his confirmation. THE COUNTY BUILDING. The January Grand Jury will be Impancled a week irom to-morrow. To-morrow will be given to the trial of bas- tardy cases in the County Court. Seven cases have place on the call. ‘The jury in the case of .awrence Beattie and Robert Breckinridee, who were on trial in the Crimiual Court for burglary Thursday, agreed upon a verdiet, but it was not returned yester- day on account of the illness of one of thic mem- bers. The jury in the second case of Jobn F. Cal- lahan brought o verdict in the County Court yesterday morning findiog him zuilty of fraud 1o his dealings with Shay & Co. He was sent back to jail, and the prospect of his scheduling out is very remote. Sberiff Hoffmann bad the long-expected con- ference with the Committee on Jail and Jail Accounts vesterday in reference to the salaries of his Deputies. 1t was short and to the voint, and there was mo waste of words. He proposed that his Chief Deputy be al- Jowed - $2,000 per year, aond that the other cits Deputies—eleven ' in number—be allowed $1,600 each: that the country Deputy in the Towns ‘of Hvde Park, Lake, and Blue Island be allowed $600, and’ the other country Deputies §500 eacn. The Committee agreed to the proposition, rezarding it asthe best wav ‘out of the difliculty. and, so far as the Shesifl ana the County Board are concerned, the long- drawn fightis” over. The readjustment adds but $900 = year to the expenses of the office, and the Sterill thinks it will prove satisfactory, Very few of the Deputies, however, heard of the gction, but such ssdid were wrathy and threatened to resizn al once, but it is believed they will change their minds beiore to-miorrow morning. An old gentleman named Rohrback, antici- pating the early marriaze of his daushter County-Clerk’s o1~ fice yesterdav morung to forbid the issuance of a license, assigning as a reason that she was in ill-nealth, subject - to epileptic fits, and at times did not have good sense. He was tola” thargo would bave 10 get the certiticate of some repu- table physician to her condition, and off he weot. In the alternoon he returned with an affidavit to sustain what be had said, and his bair stood on endand s eyes flashed fire as it were, for there stoud his dauehter at the license window, and beside ber stood Bernad Metzel; the license-clerk was busy making out the license, and the cashier was standing by ready to attach the county seal to thé document. The affidavi was presented, but it was too late, and, m:s(dc. had no bearing, since Aiss Kate Kohrback bad already sworu that she was over 18 years of uge, and was consequently beyond the control of her parents, The old gentleman frothed at the montk, shook bis fist in the face of te expect- ant groom, scowled at the prospeetive bride, and denounced her conduct. etc-, but it was ail tono avail. The license was issued, and the father departed in aner, closcly followed by as bappy 8 Dair, to all ‘appearances, a3 ever took outa license. The Committec on Public Service have about completed aeliberating over the matter of awarding the contracts for supplying meat and bread, and, although they have not actually agreed upon a report to the Board, a majority of them eXpress themselves in favor of giving the meat contract to John Ford at_his bid of $4.45 per 100 pounds, and the bread contract to Mr. Voltz for $1.933¢ per 100. 'l'hefi‘ have look- ed into the marisets of Ford and O'Dounell, the real competitors, and are atisfied that the former bas the best facilities for furnishing the meat, und throwing out the bid of Patrick Mul- croue for 34 per 100 (who is understood to bea partner of O’Donuell), Ford is the Iowest bid- der, according to their ficuringe. They have gone through the meat bills for the pust year, and find tint the Insane Asylum used 234,701 pounds, the Poor-tlouse 200,369 pounds, the Hospital 157,199 pounds, and the County agent’s oflice 510,133 pounds; and figuring on the same consumption the present year, and on O'Dounell’s bid of four and_one-half cents for the County Agents officc, three cents for the Poor-House, andsix cents for the Hospital and Insane Asylum, they make his average price $1.66 per hundred pounds, or an excess over Ford’s bid for the year of $2,119.21. They re- gard the bid of Mulcrone suspiciously, for some reason or another, and say that he bhas never been around, and that they know nothing of bim, but some of the Commissioners think that the Committee has not done its duty impartiatlly in thus disposing of this bidder whether he turns cut to be 0'Donnell or some ouc else, and they say that if he is a respon- sible person that they will insist upon his* baving the contrict, there being nearly 36,000 difference between his bid and that of Ford. And then again, O'Donnell_has. his friends in the Board—and one Commissioner says he is usiz means to make others—and the pros- pect is that there witl be a lively fight before the end is reached. -In the maiter of letting the bread contract the disputc will not be so reat, because the competition is less. Schwein- urth’s claim, as was noted yesterday, was being ushed, but with not a ghostof show of suceess, sowever anxious certain Cominissioners may be on the subject. Mr. Voltz's bid is the lowest, and he is onsible and has assured the Com-, mittee that if he does not give entire saiisfaction he will not charge the county acent. He will doubtless get the award, In the matter of the award for milk thero was som® stir again, not- withstanding it had already been agreed upon, and there is & bare possibility that a reconsider- ation will take place. Devine, the presentcon- tractor, insists that he was the lowest bidder for supplying the ospital, but the Committee auswer hun by saving that Mr. Wright, to whom the award was recomiuended, was the lowest in the ageregate. At least one member of tne Committee, it is known, is in favor of giving Derine the Hospital award and Wright the In- sane Asylum, botn beiug the lowest bidders, but against this is the fact thoe®Mr. Wright bas said to the Commuttee that he would not take the sup- plying of one piace unless he could eet the other, so there is no telling what will be done. The Committee may report to the Board on the cotire subject to-morrow, but the indications are the otber way. They meet at 10 o’clock to determine all the disputes and scitle all con- flicting ideas, but it1s beiieved the work cannot be crowded into the time they will have. GOVERN! Ml:]}c"l‘ BUILDING. The alcohol exports from this city yesterday reached 350 barrels. The disbursementsat the Sub-Treasury yes- terday were $29,000 in currency, aud the sub- scriptions to the 4 per cent bonds $8,000. The fhternal revenue reccipts yesterday at Collector Harvey’s office were $35,836. Of this amount, $22.015 was for tas-paid spirits, $3,351 for tobacco and cigars, and $355 for bev! Marshal Hifldrup’s heart-was elad within him last evening as e saw the last Fifth Ward Special Deputy-Marshal and Supervisor taie his pay. for watcning the polls election day, and goini away satisfied,—that Attorney-General Devens had’t ent the pay down any more tnan he had. The lads from the Sixth Ward will be loaded down with wealth Monday, Judge Banes had not, up toquitting-time yes- terday, gotten the machinery of the Federal Court in operation to recover damages from the city for the destruction of the Government’s lizhthouse property, and .there is little proba- bility that the Court will be called upon _to in- terfere, the prospeet of an amicable and satis~ factory arrangement ontside beag very good. From all that can be learned,—and it was not irom Judge Bangs, who said he was unable to impartany information whatever,—the Govern- ment’s loss will not exceed some few bundred dollars, if it goes up into the bundreds even. Sowie sixty panes of giass have peen broken, and two laree lishts in the liehthouse. The Government’s loss isn’t really so great us that of private individuals,whose property in the vicinity. of the recent osions undertaken for the purpose of opening the way to the crib bears unmistakeable evidences of naving been consid- erably “tore up,” particularly as to the win- dows. The city’s total loss may reach $2,000 or ,000,—possibly not so much,—and there are those who bolaly say a gane of men could have cut the ice_and kept the cLannel open at an ex- pense to the city not exceeding $250. Possibly the eity will know enoush next time to employ Lone and mustle instead of dynamite. CRIMINAL, Friday night sneak-thieves made aw ay with a mon ey-arawer and $10 cash from the saloou at No. 648 Milwaukee avenue, owned by Bernhard Stein. The bartender was asleep by the stove at the time. A rockaway carriage valued at $100, stolen on the 15th of October from Philip Fries, of No. 401 Milwaukee avenue, supposedly bya man pamed Swanson, was yesterday recovered upon a search-warrant at Hathaway’s, Nos. 46, 43, and 50 North Morgan street. At 8:80 yesterday morning Oflicer Lueders caught a young burglar emerging from Emma Keeler's house, at No. 54 Fourth avenue, witha bundle of avout $I100 worth of clotling under hisarmn, At the station be rave the name of liddie Lindley, aud claimed to reside at No. 309 Twenty-third street. Tatrick O'Neill and Joshua Alien, two well- known thicves, were caugit in the act of nrying open a show-case in fronc ot Kastler Bros.’ hat store, No. 241 Blue Island avenue, and were arrested by Officers O'Brien and Conroy. A muk muff and boa were stolen from tne case only a short time before, and. it is thought that the prisoners committed the theft, as they were seer hanging about the place during the day. At oo early hour yesterday morning Officer G. Walter found a bufelar in S. Klee's butcher- shop, at No. 339 Clurk street, aud, atter a short eucouuter, succeeded in arresting the fellow, Wno was recognized as Henry Thomas, a despert ate colored characcer.

Brennan, of No. 505 Madison terday reported that Friday evening, lock, be was attacked by tour highwaymen on Loomis street, between Adams aud Monroe. Oue of them struck nim ou the bead with some blunt instrument, slightly stun- uivg him, but when he screamed lor police they ran_ off without seq uring anything. He -describeg them as folioy Oune_avout 19 years o1 age, short and stout, black slouch hat, and light clothes; and another somewhat taller with smustache, dark clothive, aid cap. 1t is thougnt that A.

Justice Kaufmann held Patrick Caton in a total of $7,900 to the Criminal Court for forging the names of theatrical people to orders for goods, with which he succeeded in_swindling some 1wo dozen business honses. He pleaded guilty to four chargzes of forgery and eleven of obtain- ing goods by false pretenses. Justice Morrison held Lizzie Mellon and Kate Corbett in $700 each to the 21st for the theft of two coats from B. Levy, of No. 275 Milwaukee avenues Er- minia Meyers, charged with stealing clothing and jewelry from her employer, John Graf, of No. 135 Fulton strcet, which_sbe sold in order to invest in policy games, 3500 to the Criminal Court. Early on the morning of the 2d inst., Chris- topher Ahlerim, proprietor of a livery at No. 533 Canal street, while attending 2 ball at the West Twelfth Street Turner-Hatl, met 2 young man numed John O'Brien, who propésed, as they lived in the same neizhborhoud, that they smould go home togetner. When at the corner of Dussold and Jefferson streets, O’Brien knocked him down and demanded his mooes. Ablerim screamed for the police, and O’Brien, after trying to pound him into keep- ing silent, jumped up and ran away. O’Brien was arrested yesterday morning by Officers Me- Tigne and Gara, and was readily {dentified by Abterim. O'Brien was convicted about a year g0 for robbing Oscar Brigus at the corner of Clark aud Twelfth streets, and was sentenced to five years in the Penitentiary, but in some ‘way or otker he managed to escape serving Lime. SAMUEL FRANK, a St. Paul man, wno carried on the business of clothier, batter, ete., in the name ol his wife, has wotten as far as Hudson, Wis., on his way to this city, where he is wanted on a charee of conspiring to defraud the firm of Leovold Bros. Frank had a srore at Sauk Centre, Mion., scv- eral years ago, but failed, Thence he moved to St. Paul. and opened a sbop under cover of bis frau. He hasbeen in the habit of buying zoods in Chicago for four or five vears, patronizing aiso Milwaukee dealers. 'In August last, he dropped into Leoo'd Bros., and represented that he was worth between $12,000 ana $15,000 and that he was indebted to only three parties here. His story was believed, and a bill of moods was eold hum. Subsequently, it was learned that he had disposed of his stock, and not only swindled his business creditors but also his relatives, Mr. Henry Leo- pold journcyed to St Paul, and found a deficiency of $3000 in Frank’s assets, and mothing satisfactory could be otten out of him as to where the zoods had goue to. A requisition was accordingly for- warded for him, and three or four days azo he was arrested, and the officer haviug bim in. charee started for this city. - Somehow. perhaps by teleeraphing friends, 2 writ of habeas corpus was procured and served when they got into Wisconsin, and a Sudee at [Tudson now has the application for release berore him. The proceed- ing is a novel ooe, but the attempt to et free by such a trick wul doubtless be unsuccessful. Nothing was heard from Hudson yesterdav, and the result is_thercfore unknown. If a de- cision, however, had been given, its purport would have been telegraphed to Leopold Bros. As faras can be ascertained, Fraok pwes $13,- 000 to Chicago firms, the amount being thus givided: Leopold Bros., $5,600; Hart Bros., §3,000; Silverman, Landauer & Co., $3,000; A. Lewis & Co., S700; Price, Levi & Co., $200; Packer, Work Co., $400. He is also indebted to Milwaukee parties in a considerable amount. An ingictment ic easily obtainable agamst him on account of his false statements as to his assets, he thereby getting credit; and, as such swindling is getting a little common, itis about time au_example should be set others who are inclined to walk in Frank’s footsteos.

A great many people have but little knowl- edge of the maenitude of an institution like the Bryant & Stratton Busincss College. There are thirteen extensive rooms oceupied for study and recitations.
