A meeting of the Trustees and members of the Advisory Committee of the Fourth Uni- tarian Church was held at the office of Mr. Firman Courch yesterday afternoon, but, owing to the absence of interested parties, nothing was done.

Canon Kuowles, of the Cathedral, and after it tke remains were taket to the family burying- ground at Sprivgfeld, Ill., for interment. The Sta‘rbuilders’ Union of Chicago held their regular weekly meeting last Thursday evening at 154 and 156 Clark-st., and adopted their con- stitution and by-laws. The election of officers ‘was postponed for one week. On motion, all the steirouilders in the city were invited to at- tend the next meeting. This union organized three weeks ago with ten members, now has a membership of thirtv-two on its rolls, and is outstripping the expectations of its founders. - ‘The Trade and Labor Council have announced another picnic for to-morrow at Ogden’s Grove. A procession of trades-unionists will start from the West Randolph street haymarket at 10:20 a. x., and will march via Randolph street, Fifth avenue, Washington street, Clark street, Chi- cago avenue, Wells street, Division street, Lar- rabee strect, North avenue, and Clybourn ave- nut to the grove.

The bullet entered her left breast near the heart, and, passing throuzn Ue lung, todged beuveath the left shoulder- blade. ‘The affair was kept verv quiet, and only the most iatimate relatives and friends knew of it until last evening. Dr. Grosvenor,’ who is in attendance upon the injured : young lady, bas hopes for her ultimate recovery. About 10 o’clock yesterday morning the wire rope suspending the balancing-weicht to the el- evatir in the Cleveland Co-operative Store Store, at 201 and 203 Lake strect, broke, and precipitated the elevator and contents to the basement, a distance of about fifteen fcet.. The elevator had in it two stoves ang other ware, weighiny 500 pounds, and William Hanlan, who had charge of the machine.” Although precipi- tated te the bottom with ‘the stoves, rola was not injured, and continued bis work through the day. ‘The elevator is a new one, and seems to heve beeg properly managed, the fault being oe Josaiticient) strength of the ropecarrying the weig! The habeas-corpus case of A. E. Leavenworth was beard Saturday morning before Judge Mc- Allister. He was ‘arrested on a capias, and the afidavit on which it was based . charmed: bim witb refusing to tura out properry and with concealing and disposing of his property to Keep it out of the bands of his creaitors. Leavenworth claimed that these charges were false, and that the affidavit wes insufficient be- cause it failed to aver that the Constadic made ademand on him to turn out property. The Judge, after hearing the afiidavit read, held that it was sufficient as to form, and remanded. the prisover, stating that the County Court only had jurisaiction to pass on-the question of the truto or falsity of the allegations in the affi- darit. . The special policeman at the Tlinois Central Depot sesterday afternoon called upon Officer William Messmg to arrest a man who wes stoppiug at the Massasoit House under the vame of E.° P, Mar- tin, who gave evidences of insanity, und conducted himself in the most curious manner. Upon reaching the station the prisoner's real yame was ascertained to be J. P. Carfoll, a Catholic priest who. formerly -stood hich jn Canton, O., but who was torcea to quit there last August, owing to bad habits and intoxica- tion. ‘he unfortunate man was in quite a sorry aspect last evening at the Armory, and. unless nis condition improves within a day or two, he will doubtless be sent to some retreat for the Be, é EAT The friends of Senator Geoige E. White, itbout respect to party,-met ‘No. 258 West : Lake street last cvening, and ‘tendered him a surprise. There were present a)!_ nationalities, parties, and colors, and théy’ were Ironi all the W notwithstundiuy the aifer was intended to simply represent Mr. White’s 1 {thouzbt, only a question of immediate .district. The present was fine piano, and the. presentation speech was made by Daniel Munn, and fittingly re- sponded to by Mr. White. Following this came songs by a quartette, and speeches by many, in- cluding ex-Mavor Colvin, Gen. Mann, Washing- ton Hesing, Dr. Washineton, the Hon. J. W. E. Thomas, Patrick Stanton, Commissioner Spof- ford, and others. The affair wound up at a late - hour, and the attendants seemed to have en- joyed themselves. . . . A severe scoring for the’ police of the Twenty- second Street Station, who are wofully derelict in their duty, seems.to be. the only thing that can offered. in..excuse ‘for a piece of exaggerated -news.- published in some of yesterdas’s---papers. Mr. Shaw, Whose heroic rescue of two children on the Fort Wayne Railroad, near Thirty-second street, was mentioned, was not injured at all, but. bad a narrow escape, the” pilot. barkitig bis shio just as be had" reser pe,“ B-year-old boy from the track... The police re- Port of the occurrence .was not straizht- ened out nor sent-- to. headquarters until yesterday. A few Jays ago there was 2 shoot ing affray of magnitude within -four blocks of the same station, and“ none of the -participants have been arrested until this day, aud no report has ever been made of it." Religion or politics sometimes gets the better of some members of the Police Department. - : Now that Capt. McGarigle, a man‘ of ability and experience in police work, lis’becr located at the West Chicago Avenue Station, there is some hope.that the policemen in that'section of the city will ‘be taught sometirime “concerning that for which they are “‘Grawing _ pay. For some” years past = the ind Precinct has been run in an frresponsible man- ner, und the attitude of the police towards the many thieves and rnffiaos who infest that sec- tion of the city has been sbatneful in the ex- treme. Polica discipline was a thing un- known. There -are, however, a few good policemen in the command, and, under proper treatment, ‘these ourht to be suflicicnt toleayen the entire number. Whether Capt, McGarigle was sent there-to rectify this state of affairs, or because his.presence was no longer wanted at Central Station, is immaterial. He is there now, and his work lies in plain view be- fore him. His ability and sensé cannot be. dis- puted, and the powers at pulice headquarters should lend him every support. .An empty coal-wagon and two kerosene lamps formed the nucleus of another open-air mecting, in the interests of the Eighbt-Iour League, at the corner of Sanger street und Archer avenue, last evening. The omnipresent drummer succeeded m collecting a crowd of about one hundred per- sons, the majority of whom secmed beut on fun, and continually “euyed”. the sorakers. ; B. W. Goodbue was the first epépker, aud he @elivered 2 very good address infavor of the movement. He believed that nothing could be accomplished without’ unity, and urged his hearers fo work together. ‘The establishment of eight hours as a legal day’s work was, ae_he time. His remarks were ijoterrupted by frequeot applause. Richard Powers followed Good- hue, and his ~ speech was in the same vein. He said be would ‘alwavs work for the eight-hour svetem, and believed in the ultimate success of the movement. Repeated calls from the crowd caused him to sing a sove onthe subject, after be bad finished his re- marks. ‘the crowd dispersed at an early hour. ‘THE DRICKMAKERS’ UNION. A regular meeting of the Brickmakers’ Union was held in the hall at No. 99 Randolph street last eveoing. The mecting was well attended, was exclusive of reporters and other outsiders, and, judging by the loud talk inside, was ex- tremely lively. Asdisturbance was raised on account of three men not getting wares paid them which was claimed to be due by bosses. _‘The_ ballaoaloo _ was directed against Jobn Boland, whose brick-vard is at the corner of Wood street und Blue island ave- noe, and John Legner, at the corner of Egan and Ashland avenues. It was: reported thata man quit the employ of the former. und was refused the wages which were duc him. amount- ing to $2; but special animosity was exhibited toward Legner, who discharged two men whom he owed $22.50, and refused to pay them their money. A motion was made that Leener should be shut down until he paid the amount owed by him to the men, but. after a stormy cebate, it was agreed that it would be unwise to turo 100 men out of emplovment to gratify the whims of ‘wo persons. Another motion was made and carried, to the effect that the two bosses should be prosecuted to-morrow morning. Ano:her lengthy discussion was held concern- ing the possfaulity of turning out with the Trade and Labor Conncil to-day,'and’ finally this was decided by a vote in the affirmative. ‘The question of wages was next taken up, and it was agreed that the prices as they stood now should be the scale of wages throughout the season. The prices now paid are as follows: Truckers, $1.75; sanders, $2; wheelers, pi fillers. temperers, and tossers. $2; setters. 32.253 and hovelers, $2.50. The meeting then ad- journed. OLD SETTLERS’ PICNIC. The annual Picnic und Summernicht’s Festi- val of the Old . Settlers of Chicago will take place at Ogden’s Grove, Monday. Evert old settler who has resided twenry vears or over in Chicago will be registered in ‘a book of memo- rial, and receive a silk badge, on which the year of his settlement in Chicaro will be inscribed. William Bross has volunteered to address those present in English, and. Emil Hoechster in Ger- mao. The Committee has spared no pains to make this festival a social and pleasant affair to ali who attend. Prizes will be awarded to tho oldest Germav settler with the largest family, the oldest teacher, the oldest physician, the oldest emirrant from Wirtemburg (Schwab), the oldest Free-Vfason,*the oldest journalist. Also 2 vote will be taken on “The best Mayor Chicago ever had,” and a very handsome and valuable medal, representing the coat of arms of this city, will be presented to the one receiv- ing the bighest vote. <All kinds of outdoor games are provided for, special attention being “given to prize bowling. ‘ PUBLIC LIBRARY. ‘The Board of Directors of the Public Library held areolar mecting at their rooms in the Dickey Building ‘yesterday afternoon. There were present Messrs. Hotz, Mason, Unaban, Sprague, Walker, and Rubens. Albert Hager, Librarian of the Chicago Historical Society, ap- vplied, on bebalf of that organization, for the papers in the hands of the Library Board which related to the life of the Iste Joho Jones ‘The request was granted, und the papers or- dered. turned over. ,Bills against the Board to the amount of $1,017.11 Were ordéred paid. The bids for binding during the ensuing year were read, and the awarding of- the contract was deferred for one week. W. J. Onaban offered a set of resolations embodying an uppeal for branch libraries in the differcut divisions of the city for the accommo- dation of the laboring classes, aud requested that a committee of three be appointed to bring the matter before the .Council as soon as pos- siole.. These resolutions were adopted, * and the appointment of such committee deferred in the absence of the Chairman. The contract for clectrotyping during the ensuing Year was awarded to the firm of Donnelley, Gaseette & Loyd. The Secretary was instructed to notify tha absent members of the election of officers to take place at thd next regular meet- ing. The Board then adjourned. AIMEE, “La Fille de Mme. Anzot”” drew a crowded house at Hoolev’s last evening, and the per- formance, though weak in some respects, ‘passed off, apparently, to the general satisfac- tion of the audience. Aimee’s Cluiretfe was, as always, a clever piece of acting; but her voice was not up.to its usual force. Mille. Raphael, as Mile, Lange, found a fit field for her powers. Jutead and Jouard were capable interpreters of their rotes. Duplan is’ lesa successful as Louchard_than in any other of his parts; in fect, the French version of this character never invests it with the humor that is given it in its English dress. The Pomponnet was not stroor enough yocally; and the dancmz Trenitz, it would seem, could not dance at all. To-night will be Aimee’s last appearance in Chicago, und she makes her parting bow in “La Marjolaine.” THE CITY-HALL. The Fire Department was paid yesterday. ‘The City Treasurer yesterday received $1516 from the Water Department, and $600 from the City Coltector. F Mayor Harrison was at bis office early yester- day moraing, but he subsequently left the'city, and will not be back untit to-morrow afternoon. No one knows where he has gone. Michael Clarkson yesterday perfected bis bond for buildinz sewers in. the Thirteenth ava Fourteenth Wards. Tius is the last of the con- tracts for new sewers, und the work upon ail of them will comaience at once. . George Walker,’ colored, was appointed to take charge of the Van Buren ‘street bridge yesterday, vice H. Jackson, colored. ‘I'he bridire, the Mayor thiuxs, belongs to the colored troops, and the removal jas been made without givrmg offense. - Jackson is to assistahe new appoinzec.

Thas the work of reform goes stealthily forward, .and the “good of the party” is kept constantly in view. ‘Ald. Riordan says he is go'ng to submit a mi- nority reoort inthe City-Hall investigation, and thut, instead of going to church to-day, be will be employed in prepariny it. The Alderman is not a Writer, and report has it that “Judge” Felch and Ald. Lawler will be also among those who will not attend church. He would not say what he proposes to report, except that be could not agrea with the other members of the Com- mittce, consequently uo ove will get at the mas- siveness of his conclusions until he lays them before the Council. TUL END OF A FARCE. The Health Committee met yesterday after- ‘noon esperially to hear any complaints persons ruicht desire to make against Commissioner De- Wolf. The Doctor had taken every paius to get complainants to: attend, aud so had the Com- mittee, but without avail. The Committee was in‘pogseésion of some complaints, one of which was.sieped by Elider, which was printed ia these columns at the time, but he failed to appear, as did all - others, notwithstanding’ be and his class nad oveen speciilly “invited to be presen: The consequence’ was noth- ing “was done, and the result is the Committee’s confidence in Dr.. DeWolf has been strengthened, and they will. report.to the Council ‘to-morrow evening, condemning his ac- eusers and exonerat-ng him.:-The Doctor’ is doing his best, without fear or favor, for the benefit of the public health, and the Council owes bim a hearty support, which he will, no doubt, eet. 2 THE SECOND WARD CONTEST. ? The Committee on Elections met yesterday afternoon to ‘consider the Engle-Ballard con- test, Mr. Engle is very anxious to get into the Council, for some reason or another, and when the Committee met he expected that the ballots were to be opened, ete., and thatif he had the counting that be would be an Alderman inan hour. But, uofor- tunately for him, Ald. Ballard took a different view of the situation, and when he called for a count a dispute arose as to the rightof the Com- mittee to open the ballots. Mr. Ballard was represented by Jesse Barton, an attorney, who insisted that the time in which to make a con- test had elapsed, and, fur‘hermore, that the County Court only had a right to interfere with the “ballots after — the teturo — had been made and been‘ dulv = certified to. Engle had several friends on the Committee, and they.took a contrarv view, but the result’ was that the whole question.was turred over to the City Attorney for an opinton. He promises to examine the law and report thereon to-morrow morning, and the Commit- tee finally adjourned to hear from him. THE VOLUNTEER INSPECTORS of tenement-houses have cl-her lost their en- thusiaem, or the districts assiened them are in good sanitary condition. ThgJatter is the most Drobable, sitce every tenemént in the city was visited, and, as a rule, the sugsestions made as to “cleaning up” bave been heeded. Evenif nothing more is done. the city is now healthy, and in pretty good shape for beating off an epi- demic disease, should one pe wafted hither. ‘The only report received yesterday by Commis- sioner De Wolf was one from Dr. B, Hanan, who says: . “Being requested by several residents and neighbors living near the blood factory of Stein, Hirsch & Co., No. 508 Archer avenue, 1 made an inspection of the premises, and found an unbesrable sickening smell spreading all over the neighborhood. and endangering the health thereof. The factory is a dangerous nuisance, which ought to be abated at once. “She tenement-bouses on Blue Istand avenue in my district are in good condition. ‘The alley west of Halsted, between Twelfth and. Maxwell streets, is in a dirty. and danger- ‘ous state, and onght to be cleaned at once. At the corver of O’Brien and Dalstea streets, the ditch emits a sickening odor, the connection with the sewer being clozed. A woman who was spoken to about it was very abusive, and perempturily refused to remove the nuisance.”? THE COUNTY BUILDING. The County Treasurer yesterday turned over tothe City Treasurer $104,000 on account of taxes, $14,000 being in scrip. : Sheriff H-ffmaun has been confined to his house for tne past two days with a bad cold ac- companied by febrile symptoms. The Committee on Jail and Jail Accounts audited a few bills yesterday. The “High Joints” didn’t meet; no quorum. % .The County Collector yesterday completed the sale of delinquent tax property in the Town of Lake, aud to-morrow will begin to sell in Cicero. bs Mra.

The Coroner yesterdar receivedatelerram from A. F. Bosehe, of Cincinnati, a ralative of Leo Bosche, who died at the County Hospital Tburs- day night, requesting that the nody be em- balmed and held to await bis arrival. The County Jail yesterday received two al- leged homicides, Kelley snd Sellers, being sent in by the Coroner. Fred Hart, one of the parties concerned in the Fricdburg case, was also surrrendered by his bondsmen. County Clerk Klokke received yesterday from Springfield a number of bound copies of ‘the laws adooted by the late Legislature of fragrunt memory. His will be the task to deliver them to their alloted recipients, the Judges, Justices, county offices, schouls, libra- ries, and the like. 5 Deputy-Sheriff Seligman and his custodian had quite a tussle yesterday morning to get into the premises occupied by Dan Rand, on Washington street, near Fiftn avenue. Seliz- man had an attachment to serve, but the parties closed the doors ov him und resisted his entrance. The castodian flually got in through arear window. No blood shed; no heads broke. THE EQUALIZATION COMMITTEE of the County Board held another meeting yes- terdav, and at last managed to do something. This something consisted in raismg the Town of Lake personal assessment on the Chicaro & Rock Islind car-shops from $19,000 to $100,000. und the Cicero assessment _on the Chicago & Northwestern shops from $23,000 to $150,000. Asmall army of officers and emoloyes of each railroad came forward to declare that May 1, when the assessment was made, the shops were almost empty, the stock «nd plant not pur- chased, the lumber not received, and much more to the same purpose.+ No attempt was made to show that the yalue of stock, etc., now on hind was anything like aslowas the retures made in May by the Companies. and apparently the Committee thoaght the stories rather too gauzy. Just whowill benefit by the reduction on other personalty, which must be made to bring the total assessment down to the old figures, is not yet settled, and all surmises on this point are mere guess-work, FEDERAL AFFAIRS. The United States’ Sub-Treasury redeemed $5,000 in subsidiary silver coin vesterday, and paid out $2,000 of the standard sort. ‘The total internal-reveaue receipts at Col- lector Harvey's office vesterday were $34,810. Of this amount $29,170 was for tax-pald spirits, $3,777, for tobacco and cigars, and $1,739 for beer. : ‘The new combination seal and locks on bonded cars, Which went into use the 15th inst., are coming along over the boridea routes every day or so, and the new system thus far works smoothly and satisfactorily. - J. M. Sullivan, who keeps a gin-mill and a beer-shop at No. 112 Clrbuura avenue, was held to the District Court yeaterday by Commissioner Hoyne for failing to have the fieressary Goyern- punt license. Bail was given in the sum of Sutter Bros. will bond out those 131 bales of Mr. Simpson’s tubacco Monday. The informa- Yon, as stated vesterdar, was filed by the Dis- trict Attorney Thursday afternoon, and the case will be reached sume time .m the’ dim future, when the courts get to running once more. District-Attorney Bangs, the late resigner, Was scarcely visible at the Government Building yesterday, except during the morn:ug, aud when only for a few moments. -Consequently the reportorial glance did not rest upon bim during the day, though it was learned ‘that he would spend to-day in Peru and return to the clty to- morrow morning. His resiguation will be ac cepted, according to the apparent prozramme, and Gen. Leake will step into the Judge's official Doots the Ist of September. - Woeiher Gen. Leake will “clean out the office” or not on taking possession it- is difficult to learn with any degree of definiteness, for the fature Dis- trict-Attorney fs very proper and very shy, and doesn’t reveal his programme to the seeker after news. There is a well-defined ramor, however, that the person who manipulates the tvpe- writer in the office and succeeds in making him- self so universally disliked will be dropped, not- withstanding his Congressional backing, and that Mr. Baldwin, the second assistant, will be retained, as he should pe. ‘There were two more distinguished visitors at the Custom-House yesterday in the persons of General Appraisers John'F. Meredith, of Balti- more, and Louis H.- Heyl, of Philadelphia. Theso gentlemen are on’a general tour of the seycral Appraisers’ offices included in their dis- tricts, and made it a point o call upon Col- | Jector Smith’ about the first thing they did. ‘They speut the remainder of the day in look'ng over Aporaiser Ham’s office. with the svetem and business-like conduct of which they exprers- ed themselves as greatly, pleased. ‘They will be in the city until, Monday evening, when they will strike for points further West. United States Marshal Fink, of Milwankee, arrived in the city yesterday morning on busi- hess connected with the recent arrest of counter- } feiters in Milwaukee. He cams to have Com- missioner Hoyne take the testimony of Mrs. V. A. McGee, the mother of Carrie Earle, one of the prisoners referred to.. The laily testified that she was the widow of the late Commodore MeGee. of the United States Navy; that her daughter, Mrg. Earle, was-married to Scouller, alias Earle, afd that she was drageed into this scrape by her unprincipled busb.nd. It is likely that the woman will be released on the principle that a mairied woman is not responsible for doing what her lord compels her to dd ‘There wasa conference yesterday afternoon be- tween Lieut. Bonfield, of the West Madison Street Station, und Commissioner’ Hoyue, with reference. to the question whether a dustive of the Peace can hold a man to the United States District Court for a burglary committed upon Government property. The Question arose oug of the arrest of the fellow Devere, who was caught about 8 o'clock on the Morning of the 2lst.iu the rear of the United States Marine Hospital with alot of surgical instruments nipped from the hospital in his Dossessfon,’and who was held to the District Court by Justice Walsh when his case came up on the West Side. The question was decided by the Commissioner in. the affirmative, the statutes being clear on the pofot at issue, and Devere will be put through before Hoyne Mon- @ay morning. 5 LOCAL POLITICS. . THE FOURTH WARD. For a considerable time past the feeling has been growing in the minds of the Republicans of the Fourth Ward that a change in the man- agement of political affairs in that section was not only desirable, but an actual necessity. Much dissatistaction has been enzenaered by the action of the old-stagers who have'so long controlled the party politics of the ward, and that this has extended among the voters is con- clusively shown by the large falling off of the Repablican, yote in this, the banner ward of e city. Last evening a number of gentlemen resident in the ward held an informal meeting at No. 1390 State street for the purpose of discussing the situation. No attempt was made at a for- mal meeting, but a majority of those present briefly expressed their views. The meeting was unanimous in declaring that op improvement could even be hoped forwhile the same old crowd stood at the helm. It was charged that a .certain’ clique bad for years past controlled the old club und the primary elections, and with disastrous results. There was some*discussion as to the advisability of reorganizing the pres- ent Ciub by naming the new organization an “Opposition Republican” one, but iu_the end it was decided that the new Club'should start in Hife as the legitimate claimant to Republican support, ignormg altogecher any existing organ- izations, i A Committee consisting of Messrs. P. G. Dodge, Thomas U'Keefe, M. C. Hickey, P. L. W. Jansen, and P. Clowry was appointed with instructions to secure a hall and arrange for a public meeting.

FIRST WARD. 7 A meeting of the Conference Committee of the First Ward Republica’ Club was neld at the Grand Pacifle Hotel last evening, Ald. Dixon in the chair, for the purzose of taking action in re- lation to the selection of judges und clerks for the next election. 1t was resolved to accevt the judges and clerks who acted at the last spring election. i . STOP IT. AN IRREPRESSIBLE COUNTY CONTRACTOR. The Committee on Public Buildings spent an hour yesterday id the coilsideration of certain bilts for work done in the court-rooms at the City-Hall. Chief among these was a demand of Thomas Nelson for the modest sum of $1,972 for calcimining and cleaning the rooms, repaint- ‘ing and tinkering-up here ‘and there, and pot- ting the place in order generally. A week ago a bill for $509 (on account) was sent in, but some members of the Board suspected that this was but the thin end of the weage,’and, in spite of the vebement opposition of Com- missioner FFitzgerald,. it. was decided to ascertain the worst at* once. it seems that bids for the calcimining were solicited, and that two others besides Nel- gon’s (which was the nominal lowest) were sent in. Butit the statements made yesterday are trae, and they were made by good and responsi- ble men, then it would anpear that the bidders were of the “straw” description, and simply stool-piceons for Tom Nelsou. who hes for ‘years enjoved a monopoly of county work in bis line. Like’ Hogan with the plumbing, and ozher too well-knows contractors for sup- plies of different kinds, Mr. Nelson appears to have got the idea thut he must have all the work in his department. So he put in his bid for calcimining at $1 ver square and got the job, although H. Milligan is said to have done the same kind of work. on the City-Hall proper for 35 cents per square. & at this was not all, The caleimining **goute” fs but a small part: of the entire bill. ‘There was lettering to be done, chairs to be re- painted, paint to be touched up, glassto be put in, and many ovher repairs, necessary enough in themselves, to be pertormed. Fitzgerald was Chairman of the Committee baving the jub in charge, and he seems to have given carte biaache’ to Nelson. The Iatter has a shop. “quite contagious,” as_ he would say, to the Cits-Hall, and Tom and his merry men put in a good deal of time there. Even the Law Institute was cleaned up and repaired by the indefatizable: Nelson, act- ing under the direct orders of the irrepressible Fitz. Where ci‘her of them derived any au- thority for this is one of the toinys no fellow cau find out. It might also be stated here chat the bill for fixing up the Law Institute has not yet been presented, and, if the Board keeps in its present mood, the prediction mizbt be hazard- ed that it will not be paid when it is rendered. Commissioners Lenzen, Spofferd, aud some others are firm in their ooposition to the set- tlement of ‘Nelson’s bill. in its present shape, and he will have a hard row to hoe. ‘the Com- mittee did not reach any conclusion about the matter yesterday, buc will hold another meeting to-morrow morning at 11 o'clock. Nelson flourishes bis bill, which bears the indorsement of dohn J. Healy and Jacob Gross as to the work having been performed, and swears by all the saints that it is a good dill, untainted by fraud and innocent of overcharge. « ALLEGED CORRUPTION. SERIOUS CHARGES HAVE BEEN MADE against the Veterinar ySurgeon of tne Fire De- partment, EK. §, Bowen, and the May- or’s detectives are . now at work col- lecting proof with o view to sum- mary action. It ts allexéd that he is in the habit of charging 2 commission of $10 on horses sold to.the Department, and that horse- dealers, knowing of tofs custom, are, naturally supposed to add the same amount to the price of- an animal, so that in reality the city’pays the $10, The salary of Mr. Bowen is- $1,400 per annum (he furnishing the medicines), und as the Department buys from thirty to forty horses a ear, it can be seun, ifthe charge is true, that e has a pretty soft thin. According to the statements made, Mr.. Bowen has been en- gaged in this business from about.the date of nis appointment in: 1$72. A TrisunE re- porter saw a gentieman Jast night who said he paid hion.$10 nearly tive years ago, and he kyew f otners who had done the same at ditfetént ‘times until within four or five montaos; sisce then he had not. been in a position to get in- formation, ~ ” ‘The facts were reported to Fire-Marsbal Ben- ner six weeks oefore he resigued. It was the firet ‘he had heard of tne commission bus'neas, he reiyig on the integrity of Bowen, und hav- ing no kuowledge, of course, of any-of his alv leged private arrangements. . ‘the Marshal was very inaigoant, und dia not believe the state- ments made to bim, but heimmediateLy conferred with the Mayor. As uothwwg was bear of the matter. it was suppozed nat it had been. drup- ped, but yesterday it-.was learned that de- tectives tere at work,-ns stated. - .' -TE 13 BOMEWHAT DIFFICULT to see how Bowen managed the tning. The Marshal always arranges with @ desler as to the vrica to be'paid, and then, if the horse suite, Bowen's opinion is asked as to the animal’s soundness. on sity It is also alleged that he charged a commis- sion on used-up or sick horses which were sold by the department. -In such cases he is con- sulted as to the value of the animals, and might misrepresent it {n the interest of a purchaser. MR. BOWEN. fg Was visited for the purpose of seeing: what he had'to.say.in regard to the matter. He was found seated'in- the stable’ enjoying the tran- quillity of the evening and smoking his pipe. “Tt ig alleged the Mavor bas proof that you have been receiving $10 each for the horses pur- vhased for the Department. Ie it true#”” Mr. Bowen paused a moment in bis smokinz as if confounded by the statement, und then he broke forth vehemently, sayl ‘Any man that savs I ever received 3 dollar for any horse Durehased-by me for the Department does not tell the truth.” id © How loug have you been connected with the Department?” * ** A liltle over six years.’ * Were you ever offered money?” “tYos; many atime. I never bought a horse on my own responsttliity. When I found a suitable animal, 1 always notitied “Benner or Swenie of the fact. Iam so poor now I can’t Day my debts.” - “How much salary do you receive?” “T furnish my own horse and bugey and buy my own medicines, and receive $1,409 per annum.” . * “It is said the Mayor has-been having the de- teetive force at work in this matter.” “ “1 don’t care; .none of them can sav I ever took acent.

It is but just.to Mr. Bowen to sav that the one Who first brought the matter to the attention of the authorities wants the position of Veterinary Surgvon, and that another, who is said to know a good deal, bas no friendship for Mr. Bowen because the ‘latter got the better of bim in a horse-trade, THE TWO FIDDLES.- ASBACT BACKS OUT. ‘The thrilling case of the two fiddles—Loesch’s fiddle and Asbach’s fiddle—was disposed of yes- terday morning, and peace once more reigns among tlie Tentonic and music-loving portion of Chicago’s populstion. Asbach, who has been laboring under the strong tmpression that Loesch had gotten his fiddle, and that he had gotten Loesch’s, and who bronght suit against Loesch to see.if this mixing-up, after the manner of Litte Buttercup, of’ these’ infant’ prodigies of the instrament-maker’s art couldn’t be un- raveled, failed’ to appear when the. case was called before Justice Kaufmann . yesterday Morning, and to bis non-appearance is.due the settlement of the muddle. ‘here had already deen four or five contina- ances, und ‘the thing got to be very monoto- hous.—so monotonous, in fact, that. the very Dractical und matter-of-fact Justice dismissed it, eave Loesch. his fiddle, and restored peace and tranquillity to that gentleman’s mind. It is reported that Asbach, too, doesn’t feel 6o cut up as he once did; that, in fact, he’ has now changed his mind as to the relative merits of the twins, und tells his friends privately that the fiddle he still has, and which he still claims to be Loesch’s. is quite as zood as, if not hetter'than, the fiddle which Loesch has, and which he.(Asbach) still insists Is bis. In short, everybod. is contented with the finale as it is, and ao man need now admon'sh his brethren to “pray for the peace of Jerusalem.” The warring ‘factions have ceased to learn the arts of War, dove-like peace -has spread her ample wings, and the foaming psehooner goes mer- rily round mm witness of the reconciliation.

A favorite resort for the musical celebrities of Chicago is the music rooms at 150 and 152 State street.
