The members of this city have tende1 ‘a banquet, which will occur on Monday evening at the Palmer House. Somewhat of a sensation was created yes- terday in banking circles Oy the reported resig- nation of Mr. George A. Ives, Cashier of the Union National Bank. A TnrrpuNe reporter learned that the report was true, and that the gentleman offered his resignation some days ‘ago, and it was accepted yesterday. Asa banker, ives hns stood deservedly high, and is a man in whom the fullest confidence has been placed. He has had twenty-six yeurs’ experience in bis line, and for eight years past has been the Cash- fer of the bank which he has just left. During ‘Mr. Coolbaugh’s Presidency of the institution Mr. Ives enjoyed his fullest confidence. After the unfortunate death of Mr. Coolbaugh Mr. Wheeler, Vice-President, was chosen to fill his place, It seems that the ideas of Mr. Wheeler ‘and Mr. Ives did not always harmonize, and the result bas been that the latter has desired to withdraw from the institution which he has so faithfully sorved. At their meeting yesterday. afternoon the Board of Directors adopted 8 series of resolutions indorsing Mr. Ives as a eo tleman of unquestioned integrity and abi i who retires with the full confidence of the Board. ‘They also voted him his salary for the month, and presented him with $1,000 as a token of their regard. Mr. Ives will take a short season of rest, Gut as yet is undetermined as to what he shall 0. ASTRONOMICAL. A meeting of the Directors of the Chicago As- tronomical Society was held Wednesday evenit at the Observatory. Prof. Hough gave a brie: synopsis of his observations on the planet Ju- piter. He first made an eluborate scries of micrometrical measurements of the equatorial. polar, and conjugate diameters of the disk, for the purpose of ascertaining the figure of the planet, and discovered that the oblate- ness deduced was about one-sixteenth. Prof. Colbert also made a contemporaneous series of measurements, which led to about the same result; The position, structure, and dimensions of the belts were ascer- tained by _micrometrical measurements, and they were found to retain the same position in the disk during the period covered by the ob- servations. The changes in the physical appear- ance of the it equatoriul belt were very gradual. He believed that the so-called sudden changes in the physical appearance of the belts, as frequently described by. astronomers, were illusory, and were due either to atmospheric dis- turbarice or want of sufficient optical power. The great equatorial belt was distinctly seen up to the very age of the planet's disk, and with a very slight diminution in the intensity of its color. Hence he inferred tbat the planct’s at- mosphere was dense but shallow. The great red spot in the southern hemisphere was méas- ured in the micrometer, and its position in the disk fixed with the test precision. The greatest length was about 37,000 miles, and its ‘breadth about 8,000 miles. The observations in the spot for the rotation period of the plunet are yetin progress. The approximate time of rota- Uon, as determined from observations, including eighty-two revolutions, was 9 b., 5 min., 35 sec. A JUST REBUEE. The case of L. D. Webster, who was shame- fully abused by the Lincoln Park police, and then handcuffed and arrested for being “dis- orderly,” came up before Justice Kaufmann, at the North Side Police Court, yesterday morning. The evidence showed. that .Mr. Webster was ordered off the south pond in_ order that the ice might -be scraped, but, as the flag was up, he skated off towards tho north pond. While on his way, he was stopped an policeman, who said to him in an insulting manner, ‘Take those skates off, or we'll take them off for you.” Mr. Webster, of course, re- whereupon he was set upon by four or five of the park police, struck several times, knocked down, handcuffed, and dragged to the police station. The prosecution attempted to show that Mr. Webster had applicd a very op robrious epithet to one of the policemen, seck- ing to justify the assault “on that ground, but Mr. Webster’ himself,’ and ‘others who were resent, dened that the’ words came from his ips. The Justice said that Mr. Webster bad done wrong in not obeying .the order to leave the ice, but the officers had no right to take hold of him and. knock him down and pull him around to get him off, or to remove his skatos. Apoliceman had no more right to violate the person of another, except in self-defense, than a citizen. He concluded by discharging Mr. Webster, thus rebuking the Lincoln Park po- lice, who are notorious for their officiousnessand aiecceerl of the rights of those who visit the parl 7 THE PACKING-HOUSES. "The Stock-Yards have resumed their ordinary peaceful appearance, and all fears of trouble seem to have been cast aside. While there are still many men who won't work and still more who cant get it, there is but little trouble. The long strike is evidently at an end, at least for the present. All the houses are running as many benches as the weather and supply of Bogs will justify. “The hogs ure beginning to arrive in much larger numbers, and the Prgpanility. is that the present week will see all the. houses running on full time, endeavoring to make up the month which has been lost. THE CITY-HALL. ‘The Mayor issued seven pardons for the week ending yesterday. John Burns was yesterday appointed to watch the rookery at night, vice George’ Bau- man, removed. Among the building permits issued yester- day was one to Nathan N.

Cullerton denies that he. interceded with the Mayor for the protection of McDonald's. gambling-rooms, and says he will be heard from on the subject to-morrow night. He-says. fur- thermore, that he meant what he said fn his res- olution on the subject, and will see to it that the Mayor enforces the law on the question. r The Committee on Fire and Water met yes- terday, and agreed to place on file the resolution extending the time to‘ May 1towithhold the penalty on the water-tax. They also had up the matter of the appointment of Rochford tothe position of Boiler-Inspector, over which they wrangled for some time without co! to any conclusion. ‘The meat condemnations yesterday were: At Nos. 15und16 West Juckson street market; two hams and two slunk calves; at No. 52, nine hams; at Nos. 13 and 1f, one slunk calf; at No: 58, two quarters of beet; and at No. 196 South Water street, one slunk calf. At the Stock- Yards eight diseased hogs were condemned, and in Bridgeport six quarters of bruised beer were put in the tank. : A case of small-pox was yesterday reported from No. 155 West: Madison street, and an-ex- amination showed that the case was veritable, and that the patient_was one of four boarders who had left the Denmark Hotel when the disense broke out there... He had been employed in Fowler's packing-house up to a’ day or two ‘ago, and was taken to the’ Small-Pox ital. Another case was reported from North Haisted street, but an examination showed that the Seanty patients at the hospitalall trom the en ents at the hospital,— m the Denmark] Hotel,—and they are, with one excep: lenies to be the case,—_ tion, reported as doing well. This one, thought, will die. | ‘THE POLICE ESTIMATES. - Superintendent O'Donnell sent his estimate to the Controller yesterday. It calls for an appro- vation of $499,045, but pays no attention to the uncil's recommendation or order for 150 extra patrolmen. The salary-list foots up $450,300, in- eluding 516 patrolmen for ordinary duty, ote. at ‘Among the other items are $20,000 for “secret service ""; $5,000 for repuirs; $3,000 for gas; $2,500 for fuel; $2,800 for ratio: for prison- ers; $5,000 for furniture and bedding; and $5,000 for cleaning, telegraphing, and incidental ex- penses. In the item of sularies a great many Glerks and secretaries appear, and in several cases their pay {s in and those who pre- tend to know say that it means that some of the laces are to be done at ‘with, and that Austin Bote is to gobble up double pay, etc. Since no provision.is made for ‘Assistant Superintendent Ff Police, the rumor may have some basis. All of the estimates will be sent to the Council to- morrow. COUNTY-BUILDING. did not hold court yesterday, sau ge Gary didn South Side. : Charles Puscheck, Collector of the Town of Proviso, yesterday filed his bond in $10,000, and obtained his books. Among the cases set for trial before Judge Jameson Monday is that of young Schoene, who Killed the boy Unger in a row over a base-ball match. Base-ballis a dangerous game.

Of this number sixty-five avowed unani- mously that they were innocent; eleven sorrow- fully confessed thelr guilt. Russell L. Goodrich, a. grocer doing busi- ness at No. 245 Llinois street, made an assign- ment in the County Court_yesterduy to his wife, Caroline W. Goodrich. His. liabilities foot up $15,638, and his principal creditors arc the afore- said Caroline, who has a claim for $10,598, on book account for money loaned, and Messrs. ‘Towlg & Roper $2,078 on unmatured notes. The agsighor possesses no real estate. | His personal property includes a stock of groceries, valued at $10: wagons, fixtures, etc., worth $700; house- hold furniture, $550; and book accounts aggre- gating $1,500. ‘The Committee on Charities and Jail and Jail Accounts met yesterday and audited some pills, The Joint Committee on Buildings and Service nppointed Messrs. Clark, Coburn, and Wood n committee to examine the books of Ed Walker, of Lemont, in order to ascertain what cluims,if any, that individual has against the equnty for delays and discounts. ‘There is a growing opinion that Wulker's claims for extras cover a multitude of sins,—or commissions,—and the burefaced attempt to wring $170,000 or thereby out of ok County on the plea of ‘““unayoidable | dela: is treated fs a humbug and fraud. Walker's schemes (backed by. a certain clique in the County Board, who have — probably satisfactory reasons for their, action) to, obtain large sums under the guise of “ extras” are of 2 piece with the ordinary practice of this most insatinble of contractors. Half-a-dozen at~ tempts have been made by his adherents in the Bourd to push the whole clnim through, but it takes ten men now to vote away public moneys din sums over $500), and the exposure of the scheme will probably end in its discomfture. During the past two days there has been considerable talk among certain members’ of the County Board about the milk and meat con- tracts which were awarded on Monday last, and an attempt isto be made, if. the arrangements i it is hold |, to overset the whole business. Last Monday the contracts for supplying meat, bread, and milk to the county institutions during 1880 were let. In the case of the bread contract Duffy Bros., of Biue Island avenue, got the award. This action it was moved (by Commis- sioner Senne) to reconsider, and this motion wis laid on the table, thus giving tho job to Duffy Bros. beyond a peradventure. The trouble now comes in over the meat contract. This was awarded to one Bipper, formerly 2 shoemaker, and now the representative of PatO’Donnell, who in the old days of Democratic ring-rule ran the County Board. O'Donnell had ina bid utahigh figure this time; Bipper at a low one. ‘Thus the honest bids of Ford and others were crowded out. Bipper got the contract on the und that he was the lowest bidder, although Tis recognized by all that he can never fill the contract at the price and furnish meat fit for human food. his killed Ford, and he being under this arrangement disposed of, the scheme now is to abrogate the previous contract (Bipper tacitly consenting) and to award the contract to O'Donnell. Wright, who got the contract for milk for the County Hospital, is to be traded off for O'Donnell, if it becomes necessury. The job has been well worked, and, if it should through, there would doubtless be money in it for the crowd who insist that they “control the Board.” But, while Bipper is probably not the man who should have had the meat contract in the first place, his bid is so much below that of his boss, O'Donnell, that the change will be hard to make. If the Board should make the change and pay O'Donnell 5 cents a pound when thoy can get meat from outside bidders at 4% cents, the public will know what to think. = - ‘GOVERNMENT GRIST. There were 150 barrels of alcohol exported from this city yesterday. At the Sub-Treasury yesterday $14,000 in gold was received, and $5,000 paid out. Six thousand standard silver dollars were disbursed yesterday, and $5,000 in subsidiary sil- ver redeemed. . Carter C. French was yesterday fined: $50 and costs for failing to crase stamps from cigar- boxes. He pleaded guilty nearly a year ago. The internal-revenue receipts yesterday were $26,743. Of this sum $23,141 was tor spirits, $3,078 for tobacco and cigars, and $288 for beer. THE WATER-OFFICE. PROPOSED ELEEMOSYNARY LEGISLATION. Gen. Lieb, of the Water-Office, is terribly an- noyed about the poor,—politicians generally are,—and finds that doing business on business _ principles is very irksome.. He has been troubled in this way for some tiine, and ycster- day delivered himself as follows: DEPARTMENT OF PuBuIc Worxs, Jan. 17.— Charies S. Waller, Beg., Commissioner. of Public Works—DEaR Sik: Delinquents are now being notified that unless payment is made within five the water supply will be cut off. The rigid days and niform: enforcement of this rule is neces- sarily causing great, T may add, needless hardship to individual families, as in many cases parties ure absolutely destitute, many of them objects of public charity. Under former Ad- ministrations these cuses were referred to and neted upon by the Bourd of Public Works, or the Superintendent used his own discretion in the matter, by what authority, Idon'tknow. I am not supposed to grant favors or to give prop- erty away which belongs to the city, but simply to see that the orders of the City Council and the instructions of the Commissioner of Public Works are enforced. I know of no order which could be construed in any manner as giv the Superintendent any power or discretion in such cases; nor dol see that any reference to the Commissioner of Public Works may alter the situation, inasmuch as the ordinance passed by the City Council oa the 2d September last au- thorizing him to rebate the water taxes assessed. against Property, used and occupied wholly for charitable and educational purposes ‘docs not apply to individual cases. From conversations had upon this subject with several members of the City Council, am confident that many of them areunder the misapprehension that the ordinance in question was giving the Commis- sioner of Public Works all the power needed in the premises, and I have no doubt that, if prop- erly explained to the City Council, that body will not hesitate an instant in passing an ordinance by which the Commissioner will be clothed with the necessary power to grant the necded relief. If the ordinance in question, as passed, could be amended us below, the object would be obtained, and, while deserved relief could be granted, strict compliance with the requirements of the ordinance sronlsl proces tho interests of the city against fraud and imposition. Respectfully. . LIEB, Superintendent of Water Office. “SectION 1. That the Commissioner of Public Works be and he is hereby authorized and em- powered to remit and rebate a purt or the whole of the water tax or rates_ assessed against prop- erty used and occupied for charitable or educa- tional-purposes, or aguinst property occupied by destitute tamilies. Suid Commissioner shall re- quire all applications for rebates and for remis- sion of said Water tax or rates to be verified by the aflidavit of one or more taxpayers, and every such application shall be examined into and ap- proved by the Superintendent of the Water De- partinent. “Sec. 2. This- ordinance shull take effect and be in foree from and after its passage.” Mr. Waller is as sensible.of the hardships pf the poor as Gen. Licb is, and has fully considered the question at issue. It is not the property- owner, however, but the tenant, who is seeking and needs relief. The property is holden forthe tax aguinst it, and to change the order of things would be. of no benefit to the poor. There is some show of argument for rebuating the tax of purely charitable institutions, but there is no more reason why the property covered by cot- tages and shanties should be exempt from taxa- tion than there is that the property covered by mansions should be. If the tax against property is to be rebated owners will only have to certify to the -poverty of their tenants: to escape the water-tax entirely, and_the. system once Started would lead to the Water Department be- ing a public expense, which would have to be provided for by direct taxation. If rebates are to ‘be allowed for the benefit of the poor, let it bein favor of the poor individuals, rather than against property; as Gen. Lieb proposes. : — —————— SUBURBAN. EVANETON.

The largest number added in any one year was forty- seven, in 1877. .They now owna church edifice which cost $25,000, and which from. debt. About ‘a year ago the A. J. Scott was- temporarily called to the pastorate, made vacant by the depart- ure of Mr. Packard, and but a short time ago the members of the Society d their very, high appreciation of him by calling him unan- imously to.the permanent pastorate. At the time of his installation the church had been newly put in repair throughout, including rogf, calcimining, Pa Inting, and carpeting. The-So- ciety is one of the most united and happily olr- cumstanced in the village, and, with a pastor all and loved by alf, they may well con- gratulate. oes A supper was served after the entertainment, at whick about 200 were filled.

It has finally been decided that Joe Mack will not manage the Cleveland team next year. If Detroit indulges in a professional nine next season, Murnan will. probably captain and mgn- age it. Flint and Gore, the only members of the White Stocking team now in town, aro taking daily gymnasium exercise. The Dubuque Club has secured for next sea- son roy, a New York City player of some merit, to attend to second base. Pzesident Hulbert, of the Chicago Club, spent. a couple days in Cincinnati last week on business connected with tho League. - The Dubuque team next season will be as fo)- lows: Reis, p.; Sullivan c.; , 1 b.; Troy, 2 b.; ——, 8.8.3 Callahan, 3b.; Kent, Lf. ¢.f.; Loftus. r. £. Mathows, the Providence change pitcher of last year, who has not engaged for next season, is to coach the Princeton College nine during tho first few weeks of its practice. Force has finally signed with the Buffalos for” 1880, and the new nine will be as follows: Rowe, ¢.; Poorman, p.; Walker, Crane, and Richard- son on tite bases;- Force, 8,5.; Hornung, McGun- nigle, and Crowley in the outfield. A San Francisco club wanted to hire Devlin, and its President wrote to President Hulbert about the matter, but was informed that no Leugue clubs or members of the same would be aloes toplay in games wherein Devlin took pal From a letter received recently by Al Spald- ing, Secretary of the Chicago Club, it appears that the Union Club, of San Francisco, is in want of a pitcher and catcher for next season, and desires to seoure the services of some: Eastern professionals in searchof a job. The pay is $200 a month for the pair. ‘There appenrs to be no prospect of settling the difference between George Wright and the Providence management. Being still held by the “five men” rule, waht cannot sign else- where, although he would like to 50 to Boston, where he has been offered the position of short- stop in Harry Wright's team. Both the Worcester and National Clubs have applied for membership in the League, but only one of them will be admitted, and it is probable that Worcester will secure the vacancy. Its nine is the same as lust year, with the exception of Brady, whose place. at second base will be allea by. Creamer, and he, with Stovey, completes eo im. Joe Quest, the White Stocking second-bnse- man, left San Francisco last. Wednesday for Chi- Saint and will reach; here to-morrow night. Williamson will soon follow him, and both are expected to stay: here until the season opens. They were the recipients of “benefit” games notlong ago in San Francisco, but the amount realized was not large in either case. Last season the Boston team player 109 games, eighty-four of which were championship con- tests and twenty-five exhibition; were prevented from playing twenty-two times by rain; were traveling severi day, and were otherwise idle but twenty-three Bue in ai. The Bostons won fifty-four out of thelr eighty-four championship and twenty out of their twenty-five exhibition games, and scored an aggregate of 808 runs and 1,205 buse-hits, while their opponents were credited with 440 runs and 933 buse-hits. The Bostons secured second position in the race for the League championship, concerning which Manager Wright says: “We did well to get second Hoe tion, considering the changes made in the nine on several occasions on account of injury to the players; particularly so at the pitcher's point, Bond being in a crippled con- dition more or less the greater part of the season.. In fact, it was most unfortunute in this respect since our orgunization. In 1878 our sub- stitutes wero called, upon to sony in two. championship ‘games’ only, the nine going through the season intact, with the exception of those two games. This is one of the uncer- tainties of base-bull.” WRESTLING. About 500 of the local sporting fraternity gah- ered last evening at McCormick Hall to witness: what proved to be an -unusually good and close- ly contested match. The wrestlers were Lucien Mare, a rather well-known French athlete, and John Rabshaw, 8 powerfully-built sailor. The match was for $250 a side, the backers being. Thomas Curly and Emil Bensinger for the sailor and George Burr for Marc. Sherman Thurston. acted as referee. After along delny, caused by an attempt on the part of an inexperienced in- dividualto read the rules, time was called, and, the men appeared. Marc is a rather short and slightly built fellow, while Rabshawis fully a head taller, and as much stronger in proportion, The first round was Grseco-Roman, under the rules. The men. tafair hold for the first round, Marc sneaking and Rabshaw holding the. neck. Both went to the floor about even, when Mure rapidly turned the sailor over, winning the round in five minut ‘The second round wus collar and elbow, and lasted. one minute, Rabshaw throwing the- Frenchman with perfect ease after three telnts, throwing his man clean on hips and shoulders. ‘The third round was Greco-Roman wrestling. Each man obtained a fair hold, and went down and apart inshort order, with no advantage.. Tho men caught, and went down and up, muk- inga long and closely-contested round. Marc threw Rabshaw over his shoulder, but the sailor turned and sprawled. After three rolls the men caught, and were again upand off. The third down resulted in Marc's slipping out, and, on the next tussle, catching the sallor by the shoul- ders and making a beautiful clear throw, win- ning the round. si : ‘The fourth round was “catch as catch can,” and was won by Rabshaw, who caught Mare be- tween the legs and gave him » terrible throw,’ the Frenchman limping off half stunned. ‘The last and deciding round was a Graco- Roman wrestle, Mare appearing sore and hold- ing his haud to his ribs. Rabshnw made 2 clear throw, which the referee declared off. Both men went down slow, when thesailor stood Marc on his head, the Frenchman turning thre6 times. He was finally tired and easily thrown by Rab- shaw. z Rabshaw, having won three falls out of five, was declared the winner of as good & match as has been often seen In this city. : THE RIFLE. f A meeting to organize a rifie club will be held next Wednesday evening at the residence of Mr. George R.

A case worthy the consideration of the “ Pied Piper of Hamelin” has occurred in Paderborn, Prussiu. Rats seem to have established them; selves so solidly there that the municipal author ities found it necessary to adopt extreme meas- ures for theirexpulsion. A short time ago the Burgomaster entered intoa contract with the eminent rateatcher, Baum, by which the latter bound himself to deliver Paderborn of its rodent population forthe pecuniary consideration of 600 marks. Every facility was given to him by the citizens, and, after a fortnight’s remorseless campaign, during which thqusands of victims succumbed to his skill, he dedlured Paderborn to be absolutely raticss and mouseless. But he had |' to do with a Burgomaster wilier.than any rat that ever wore whiskers.

LOCAL ‘ITEMS.. ° Goodness gracious, are they going to can corsets?’ The female inmates of the New. Haven Almshouse are boning corsets. “J don’t have'enough religion to brag of,” says an old Nevada miner, “but -I never get into the cage to go up or down without feel- ing how puny I am and how great my Maker ” : 3 e The public will be interested to learn that the spacious ‘and ‘elegant meat-market re- cently opened -by- Messrs. Brinkworth & Sharples, at Nos. 85 and 87 Randolph street, has lately been purchased by Mr. John Ford, proprietor of the celebrated Metropolitan Market, at 7 East Adams street, which, al- though a very extensive establishment, has lately been found incapable of accommodat- ing its rapidly increasing trade. Mr. Ford needs no introduction to the public, having had twenty-five years’ experience in the busi- ness, over ten of which’ he has been in Chi- cago. He is considered one of the most re- liable judges of meats in the country, ag he is also one. of the largest dealers fn this important staple in the West, shipping very largelyto New York, Boston,and Philadelphia, as well as to all important provincial towns, both East and West. The new market is be- ing supplied with every convenience for the | storing and handling of meats of every description, which . F’s'many years of practical experience can suggest, and will undoubtedly be a great accommodation to hotels and restaurants in the neighborhood, as he makes a specialty of that class of trade, as well as fine family trade in the city.

Work and Wages in Milwaukee—Our North Side Rolling-"1il. Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. MrwavkEE, Jan. 17.—Mr. Jarrett, Presi- dent of the Iron, Steel, and Tin Workers’ Union of the United States, came to Milwau- kee yesterday'in the interest of the iron- workers at Bay View, who had thus far en- ‘infant daughter of John A. and Hattie Matthews. tered into no’agreement with the Rolling- Mill Company as to the prices to be received by them during the ensuing year. Mr. Jar- rett visited Bay View in the afternoon, and met the members of the Union in secret ses- sion. The result of -this meeting has not been made public. It is known, however, that in conversations with the Rolling-Mill Company managers, both here and in Chica- go, Mr. J. frankly stated that the men ought to receive the same prices that are be- ing paid for skilled labor at Pittsburg ona sliding scale. The managers expressed per- fect willingness fo pay Pittsburg prices, but they did not care to go above them, and thus be prevented from competing with Pittsburg for business. A settlement was effected to- day, itis understood, upon this basis, and the danger of a strike of rolling-mill hands here and at Chicago may therefore be con- sidered at an end. The arrangement en- tered into here yill affect Milwaukee and Chicago alike, as the stipulation calls for uni- form prices throughout. ‘While at the Milwaukee office of the North Chicago Rolling-Miil Company this morning, The UNE correspondent asked a few questions concerning the iron trade, which elicited favorable replies. One of the gentle- men connected with the .management stated .that hewvisited Detroit last. week, and found all of the iron works running to their full capacity. There appeared to be a great scarcity of Lake Superior charcoal iron. The stocks putin last fall have been almost en- .tirely exhausted, and, in order to get more as it is needed, the rolling-mill companies are paying anything thatjthey can get it for. Another fact gleaned during the visit is of particular interest to Chicagoans, and will prove news to many pf Tum ‘Trmune read- ers, Itis this: the North Chicago Rolling- Mill Company are at present engaged in en- Jargements of and additions to their home establishment that will cost, the enormous sum of $2,000,000. Three or four new blast furnaces are being erected, and the capacit; of the Bessemer steel mill will be doubled, Besides, there will be enlargements in other directions to correspond. There is talk, also, of enlarging the establishment at Bay View and erecting more blast furnaces, but nothing has been decided upon yet. salir a THE SUFFERING NEGROES.
