Mrs. Julia Hennessy,who died at her residence, No. 315 Superior street, was one of the most esti- mable ladies of this city. Born in the Town of Thomastown, County Kilkenny, about three- quarters of a century ago, she, with her family, emigrated to America in 1857, settling at Albany, N:; ¥., where she gained the affection and esteem of people of all classes.: About twelve years ago she came to Chicago, where a portion of her family had preceded her, and she-soon becaine a3 popular in Chicago as in Albany, and all who had the fortune to form her ac- quaintance will miss in her a good neighbor and a true friend. Pious, gentle, and charitable, adevout member of the Catholic Church, sho was an exemplar to all, and her memory. will long be cherished by the residents of the North Side, and particularly by the people of the Holy Name parish. Of twelve children, nine survive her, among them being Peter J., Major of the Second Regiment, Patrick M., Richard, andThom- } as, who are among the most respected business- men in Chicare. (er entire family were prescnt at her death-bed and consoled her last moments. Fortified by the rights of the Church, of which she was a devoted member, she passed to that place where the weary. are at rest and where virtue and goodness mect a just reward. Mr. John Hennessy and Mrs. Mary Quinn, two of her children resident in Albany, have been in Chi- cago since Mrs. Hennessy was overtaken by fatal sickness. THE CITY-HALL.

De Dexter denies that he made any threats ateyer. Some time since Te Trmsuxe printed an article in which it was stated that a Mr. William D. Babbitt, who is now in jail for debt, was in- varcerated for contempt of court. ‘It now, through more’ recent investigations, appears that the gentleman is there of his own free will rather than line the pockets of an unwise and ‘unscrupulous ex-tenant.who sucd him for a cer tain sum of money for an imaginary libel. The Hotelkeepers’ Association met yester- day afternoon at the office of the Hotel Reporter, and talked about preparations for the Republic- xp Convention and the Triennial Conclave of the Knight Templars. For the latter occasion it is said that already 10,000 people have applied for eccommodations, there being three weeks yet in which to make arrangements for a stopping place.

Beattie, resoiutions were passed sing the opinion that, in view of the facts connected with the murder and the alarming prevalence of crime against human life, the State's Attorney, Ju and other officers of the Inw should use their ut- most exertions to bring the murderer, Charles Campbell. to justica.

For a week. or more there has been 2 quiet war going on over the moving of 2 building on Indiana avenue. It appears that a permit was granted to H. Schell, and the line upon which the building was to be moved was marked out, but in the moving the cutting of trees was made necessary. The owners of the trees objected, and the moving was interrupted, and a few days ago the Law. Department was appouled to by the Superintendent of Buildings: for an opinion, yack was handed Mr. Kirkland yesterday, as follows: CHICAGO, Jan. 29, 1880.—A. Kirkland, Esq. Superintendent of Bulldings—Dean Sin: On the 13th inst. you issued a permit to H. Schell to move a building, giving the route along Indiana avenue to Eignteenth street, etc. You now ask whut right, if any, the mover has to trim certain trees, which appear to obstruct the moving of thehouse. The fecof all streets is vested iu the city, and any trees planted within the streot- width become a part of the street. You having issued the permit to move and given the_route, if the mover should be unable to proceed by reason of the trees or limbs being an obstruction, the mover, under your direc- ton, would have the right to trim the trees so as to be able to pass, C.A. Knicur, Assistant City-Attorney. Whatevror may be the effect of this opinion upon Mr. Schell, it may be set down as a certainty that in the granting of future permits it will be scen that the “route” marked out goes not interfere with the trees in the streets, etc. i COUNTY-BUILDING. ‘The Collector of North Chicago yesterday paid to the County Treasurer $2,500 on account of the taxes of 1879, ‘The quasi-criminal calendar will be taken by Judge Jameson Monday, and there will be no other cali in the Crimina} Court.

J ONE CENT DAMAGES. VERDICT IN THE CORTRIGHT-FARWELL LIBEL CASE. ‘The libel suit of Cortright vs. Farwell has at- tracted considerable attention tke last week, and yesterday morning when the jury were to return their verdict, Judge Moran's court-room was crowded by persons curious. to hear the result. Mr. Haskell was present for the plaintiff and Mr. Stilesfor the defendant, but the senior counsel on each side were absent. It was also noticed th¢t one of the mostly deeply interested parties in the casc—the defendant himself—was notto be seen. One of the jurors failed to come totime for nearly balf xo hour, and, whilo the Court waited tor him before the scaled verdict could be opened, tho curiosity rose to fever/heat. ‘The dull routine of motions in various cases was gone through until the ing juror took his seat, when the Clerk opened the envelope and read: “We, the jury, find for the plaintiff and assess the damages at one cent.” ‘Amurmur of surprise was heard at this an- nouncement, and 1 good many smiles were. in- terchanged amon; ie spectators, who seemed ‘to be rather astonished at the result."~ Mr. Haskell, Mr. Cortright’s attorney, seemed the most taken aback, and he entered a motion for a new trial, but made -no remarks. No one else seemed to have anything more to say, and as there was evidently nothing more to be seen the crowd slowly filed out ruther disgusted at the utter want of a sensation thowhad hoped for. Mr. Cortright left for the East last evening, satisfied that he had been vindicated in the eyes of his fellow-citizens. PROF. PROCTOR. HIS LAST TWO LECTURES ON ASTRONOMY AT HERSHEY HALL. Prof. Proctor delivered a ‘lecture in Hershey Music-Hall yesterday afternoon upon “Comets and Meteore,”—a subject which, he remarked in opening, was one of very great difficulty, not less to the astronomic students of to-day than to thdse of ancient times. - It was true that science had discovered many interesting facts regarding these bodies, but this had increased the diflicultios connected with their study as it had’ added to the mysteries which surround thom. . ‘The lecturer, whose remarks wero illustrated by a number of largo paintings, opencd his allu- sions to cometary peculiarities by describing the successful efforts made by Herschel to define the course of the comot of 1680 as that which Now- ton had luid down for it. Newton predicted that this comet on its reappearance would pass ‘very near the sun, and the result showed Tim to be correct, the ody passing within 160,000 miles of tho sun, tho repulsive pr rofthe latter over- coming its power of gra’ . The comet of the year 1082 provided Newton's pupil, Halley, with an opportunity: to deal more thoroughly with the question of gravity as alfecting the movements of comets, and, after considering it thoroughly, he predicted that the comet would reappear in the year 1759, a date long after bs death. Inthe meantime other astronomical mathematicians had to deal with the subject, and thoy, realizing that the force of the disturbing influences of the planets Jupiter and Saturn would delay the comet's renppearance, placed the date of its return in 1535. Three separate calculations were made, and the comet reappeared within the time covered by them. The question of what formed the tail of the comet was treated at considerable length by the lecturer, who indorsed Herschel’s theory that it consisted of clouds of vaporous matter which the power of the sun drove from the headof the comet. Othor theories had been formed, and one by Prof. Tyndall, which the lecturer explained fully with fumitiar jllustra- tion, that the tail was a negative shadow of the bead of the comet, had attracted a grent deal of attention, though it had not been reveiyod by astronomers as correct. Considerable interest attached to the recent discovery that there is a connection between comets and motcors,—bodies so small that the: astronomer Kepler was indig- nantatthe suggestion that they wore fit su! jects for astronomical scrutiny. ‘e text-book from which the lecturer ‘studied when a boy disposed ‘of the quostion of meteors in short order,‘ but, while the "information it conveyed was given in'a oonfident: manner, the only comment to be made irding it was that it was all wrong. The perlodicity of the showers of meteors was referred to, the ‘great displays recurring at an interval of from thirty- three to thirty-four yeurs, thus showing that the meteora take about one-third of a century to. FO round the sun. Astronomers declined to belive this at first, because this peribd implicd that the meteors had an orbit which carricd them twenty times more distant from the sun than is the carth, but the discovery that the showers of meteors aré coincident ‘with the tracks of the comets showed them to be the re- pelled paride. of those bodies whose: orbits they followed.. The lecturer stated n number.ot further interesting facts and discoveries con- nected with whut Humboldt described as “pocket planets,” and in his .conclusion again stated that, whilo a large ‘quantity of work had* been accomplished in thi peculiar branch of -ustronomical research, the field of study was, and would probably remain, practically inex- haustible..

THE DEMOCRACY, A‘number of the prominent lights in the Chicago Democracy gathered last evening in the new and elegant club-room on the parlor floor of thé Palmer House in response to an invitation circulated among. the more in-. fiuential and public-spirited, members of the party.in this city. = Among those present were: Mr. Goudy, the Illinois member of the National Com- mittee, Judge Otis, Henry M. Shepard, Perry H. Smith, Gen. Isaac E., Eaton, the Kansas member of the National Committee, F. H. Winston, Charles Kern, Potter Palmer, A. B. Mason, Ald. McCormick, Ald. Wickersham, John Forsythe, F. L. Chase, J. R. Doolittle, Jr., J. F. Olcott, and William Best. ‘ The meeting was called to: order by Mr. Goudy, who very briefly stated its object, as above set forth, and moved that Judge Otis bo called upon to preside. The motion was carried unanimously. * = Judge Otis, on taking the chair, stated that an effort was made four years ago by a.Chi- cago committee to induce the National Com- mittee to call the Convention here, and the Chicago Committee came within a very few votes of succeeding. Unfortunately, how- evor, the etfort wag heean too late, St. Louis having in the meantime induced a number of the Nitional Committee tocommit themselves in her‘favor: Mr. Goudy woultL-undoubte ly labor in behalf of Chicago before the N tional Committee, and they-should brace him up in his efforts to secure the holding of the Convention here, 5 Mr. Goudy stated, for _the information of those present, that the National Committee would meet at Washington Feb. 23 to fix the time and place of holding the Convention, It was understood that Philadelphia would of- fer liberal inducements, and Cincinnati had already taken steps in’ the same direction, while Baltimore, New York, Saratoga, Louis- ville, and St. Louis had been mentioned as desirous of securing the honor. He hadbeen informed that St. Louis would make no ef- fort, on account of. ‘her lack of ‘hotel accommodations. ‘A’ yery earnest effort would be made by Cincinnati, and very lib- eral inducements would be held out to the Committee to decide'in her favor. So.far as Chicago was concerned, he had no doubt that she could offer better sccommodations for a qiace of assembling, and for the com- fort of the delegates in the hotels, while everybody knew that her climate was unsur- passed at the time of year at which the Con- vention would meet. Objections had been made by some Democrats elsewhere to hold- ing the Convention here because there was no Democratic newpaper ub- lished here, and was an objec- tion was regarded as somewhat serious. As to that, however, he had no doubt that the press.of this city would make honest and faithful reports of the proceed- ings. They had the right, of course, 10 use their editorial columns as they saw proper, but, with reference to‘the actual reports, he presumed they would be as correct here as in any other city in the country. Another ob- jection had been made to holding the Con- vention here because it would follow in the wake of the Republicans, who had already fixed upon Chicago.” But, after all, the ques- tion would be determined by that city which was able to offer the best inducements to the Committee, and the question was, What was Chicago willing to do? Her cilizens would be expected to furnish a place of meeting and to pay the runnifg expenses of the Con- yention, St. Louis four years ago added an inducement which undoubtedly ought to be repeated, of. publishing the proceedings of the Convention in priper: fotm after the Con- vention should .ha¥e adjourned. If these things were done, Chicago, in his opinion, would offer more liberal inducements than any other city, and there was no reason why an earnest effort should not be made at the meeting of the Committee to procure the location of the Convention in Chicago. The members of the Committee were prob- ably free from committal to any one city now. He was glad to state to the meet- ing that Gen. Eaton, of Kansas, who had been a member of the National Committee for twenty years, was present, and, in view of his past experience in the holding of Na- tional Conventions, ‘he was'sure the meeting Howe be glad to hear frdm him on this sub- ject of Gen. Eaton said he thought that if Chicago did all that Mr. Goudy had proposed she should do, the Convention would receive het- ter treatment than it had ever received be- fore, except at St. Louis, which city made about the same provisions. In _ his opinion, very few of the members of the Committee were committed to any point, and, from conversations witha number of the Southern members, he thought there was a disposition on their part to hold the Conventionin the West, With the facilities Chicago possessed, he did not think she would havo much ‘difliculty in securing the Convention, especially as_she had a hal already provided. In conclusion, he ac- knowledged that he was, and had been all the time, in favor of holding the Convention here. Judge Otis remarked that Chicago ap- cared to have two votes already—Gen. Eaton’s and Mr. Goudy’s. 2 Mr. Shepard inquired of Gen. Eaton if there were any political considerations that would be likely to govern the Committec. In other words, was it considered in the Com- mittee as generally desirable that the Con- vention should be held in a State certainly or presumably Democratic in its vote ? ‘. Gen. Eaton replied that he did not think that would have very much weight, though in the case of St. Louis it had been urged in her favor. He did not.think that any person who was likely to be a. candidate could ac- quire any advantage over any other candi- ate from holding the Convention here. They would all stand on terms of perfect equality here, ‘The fact is,” the “General con- tinued, “we are all at sea as to .our nominee, It all | depends on circumstances occurring In the future, I think the Democratic party generally, throughout the country, intends to succeed if it can, and it will not let any personal con- siderations interfere with that success.” .* We have a Democratic city organization to offer the Committee,” said Mr. Goudy, en- couragingly. A ake Mr. Shepard said he had inquired: of Mr. Goudy as to the estimated expenses, and the amount was so small that he had no idea there would be-any difficulty about raising it among the citizens generally, irrespective of aor partisan feelings. Unless there weresuch Pol litical conside: sas would prejudice the mmittee against Chicago,—the leading city of a probable Republican State,—he did not think Chicago should. hesitate to make the effort. Certainly as far as‘money was con- cerned he couldn’t sée anything in the wap. Mr. Goudy stated.that the, Exposition Di- rectors. had already tendered the Committee, through him, the use of the Exposition Build- ing free from expense for the holding of the Convention. : -Mr. Shepard said"he had no idea the ex- penses would exceed $10,000. . 5 Charley Kern saw no reason why the money couldn’t be raised, and. the first thing to do was to appoint a committee to see just how much could be raised, in order that. Mr. Gowdy, when he went to Washington, might speak with authority. Politically speaking, ere was no reason why the Convention should not be held here, where all the candi- dates would stand on an equal footing. . The Committee should also see what it was neces- sary to pay the Republicans for the use of the improvements put into the hall, and the Re- publicans, as public-spirited citizens, would no doubt do the handsome thing. As to loca~ tion, Chicago was simply unrivaled. r. Palmer referred to the handsome treatment by the Republicans of their Na- tional Committee in the way of transporta- tion, hotel, accommodations, etc.,, and gua. gested thatthe Democrats should certainly offer equal inducements.to their Committee. Mr. Smith said that as a citizen of Chicago he was decidedly in favor of holding the Con- xention here. as a suenber of thé Demo- cratic party, however, it wag a quest whether it was better for the party to have it held here, or in any other Western town, or on the seacoast. Four years ago Chicago lacked but two votes; but be bad never regretted that ‘the vention was held at St. Louis, That city had lost one of -her ‘largest ‘hotels in the meantiiné, however, and was thereiore out ,of: the ques- tion, tuoueh still his ch vice. As to: location, there could be no ques:ion of Chicago’s supe- riority, and they:-should do all'in their power to-get the Conventiow here, particularly since they had Gen. “Eaton—who “was the best: worker against, them before—on their side. Mr. Winston said that personally and polit- ically he cared but very little about it, For the benefit of- the city, however,.they should secure‘ the Convention for Chicago. Polilic- ally,.he didn’t know whether it was for his interest to have it here or not, but for the city, and the accommodation of.the Conven- tion, he had no doubt that Chicago was the place. Mr. Doolittle offered the following, which ‘Was unanimously adopted: . Resolved, That.we aro in favor.of holding the Demooratle National Convention in Chicago; that 2 committee be appointed to make the ar- rangements to present the subject _to the Na- tional Committoc, and that the Hon. W. C. Goudy be requested to urge the measure before the National Committee: «| Mr. Goudy was elected Chairman by ac- clamation of the Committee to be appointed, and on motlon of Mr. Mason the Committee, when appointed, was. empowered to add to its.number and fill vacancizs.:. The Chairman, having some delicacy about appointing the Committee, requested Messrs. Winston, Kern, Doolittle, Goudy, Shepard, and Forsyth to suenest alist ofnames. The gen- tlemen _retired—as-‘ did about ali the rest of. ‘those - present—to the -rear of the room, consulted.a few minutes, and suggested the followin; names: W..C. Goudy, William Best, Marshall Field, J. K Fisher, A: 'B. Mason, Carter H. Harri- son, W.G. McCormick, Charles Kern, John he, A. F. Seeberger, and J. R. Doolit- tle, dr. The report was adopted, and the mecting thereupon adjourned. This Committee, which is ‘to have entire charge of the nove in behalf of Chicago and herclaims on the location of the Conven- tion, will hold its'first meeting Tuesday even- ing ai6 0 clock: at the same place, and the entire delegation will probably,be found do- ing their duty‘at Washington when the Na- tional Committee meets. > ~~ SEVENTH SENATORIAL. - An adjourned meeting of. the Seventh Senatorial League was held . yesterday after- noon at 3 o’clock in the Grand . Pacific Hotel, John Sidie presiding. The Committee ap- pointed to draft a new constitution reported progress, but was subsequently discharged, and 2 committee consisting of Messrs. Collins, Kistler, and Blum’ appointed to suagest amendments to the old constitution and re- ort thesame at the next meeting. J. H. edzie was elected to fill avacancy in the Evanston delegation, caused by the election of Mr. Bannister to a place on ‘the Executive Board. There being ‘nothing further to do, the League adjourned to meet again the third Saturday in April, unless called toge- ther sooner by the Chairman. : A meeting of Republicans of the Twelfth Ward was iield last night at the house of Mr. Martin Howard, for the purpose of talking over the Aldermanic question. Ald. Raw- leigh’s term expires in April, and it is well known that he will not run again. Several persons have put forward as his successor Mr. R. P. Williams, a. well-known citizen of the ward. There is some opposition to him, however, among one of the sets into-which the pat is divided in the ward, and the meeting was held last night for the purpose of discussing the claims of rival aspirants, one of them _ being Mr. Alvin Hurlbut, of the Sherman House. Two or three other names were also men- tioned. Nothing of any importance was done, however, the meeting being merely a preliminary.talk, more, probably. in oppo- sition to Mr, Williams than in favor of any special candidate as yet. NATIONAL REPUBLICAN. The Local Committee appointed by Mr. James P. Root, member of the National Re- publican Committee from Hlinois, will meet at the office of the Exposition Building. Tues- day afternoon (Feb. 3) at 4 o’clock. .

It is very easy to theorize and talk about the way a piano should be- constructed, but to furnish the instrument itself is quite an- other thing. Mr. W..W. Kimball has devoted alifetime to the piano business, and no one is better able to judge of the merits or de- fects of an instrument. When, therefore, we find a piano manufactured under Mr. Kim- ball’s direction, expressly for his own trade, bearing his name, and guaranteed by him, there can be no'question about its t-ing the best instrument that can possibly be fis nished for the money. It is’ no wonder that over 46,000 of the Kimball ‘plangs have already been sold, and that the demand is steadily in- creasing. . : “ Did you make the train 2” asked the anx- ious questioner. “No,” said smarty, “it was made in the car-shops.” “Imean did you catch the train,” with a. slightly embarrassed manner. “Of course not; it’s not infec- tious,” was the cute reply. ‘Well, you darned fool, did you arrive at the depot in time?” “No, you infernal idiot, I arrived in a barouche.” “Great heavens!”. shouted the questioner, “did you board the cars?” “Jumpin?
