THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 1880—TWELVE PAGES and clover. in this: section, the general opinion. 28 THE CITY. : { GENERAL NEWS. e ‘Ine temperature yesterday, a8 observed by Manusse, optician, No. 83 Madison street (Trrm- TNE Building), was, uv8 a. m.,39 degrees; 10 a. nu., 41; 12 m., 43; 3 p. m., 42; § p.m, 4, Barom- eter, 8a. m., 29.52; 8 p. m., 20.37. : ‘Te Van Buren street line has had five addi- tional cars added to it on account of the increase ‘tof passengers from the Madison street line. The latter is so inconveuient us at’ present run as to causé this great increase on the Van Buren street cars. Work on the Madison-street bridge is progressing slowly. The City Engincer says it will be three weeks before the bridge wiil bgain ‘be open for teams. For some weeks back Armour & Co., at the Stock-Yards, have been losing hogs. In some mysterious way live animals, to the number of about 50), since the first of the yeur, huve been taken from their pens. How it was done is something they huve not yet found out, but they are on the track of the offenders, and will be xpt to bring them to judgment in a day or two. athe responsibility rests upen two employés, each of whom accuses the other. i AN indignation meeting will be held this even- ing at No. 505 Onion strect, in connection with the matter of the Fourteenth street bridge. ‘Some $55,000 has been collected for a bridge at that puint, but the moncy bus been used by the city, salle engaged in a fight with the railroad companies for the right of way ucross their trac! for sone other purpose. The property- holders would like to see that 355.000 put buck to the credit of the bridge fund, in o1 that the bridge may be built this season. The whole sub- ject is w be gone over this evening, and it is ex- pected that several Aldermen will be present and comfort their constituents. Senator Jack Lee, of Peoria, is at the Grand Pacilic. He hus just returned from Waching- - ton, where he bas been for three weeks look- fog ufter an appropriation trom Congress tor a Custom-Huuse and Post-Otfice Build- ing in his town. The Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds have decided to Teport favoring an appropriution of $500,000, butt when it will be passed is one of the mysteries at present. Mr. Lee says that the Democrats in Washington favor the nomination of Seymour Yor President, and in his section they are for Duvid Davis, wiih Seymour us second choice. Noone but Sam fandall seems to think ‘that ‘Tilden will be nominated. Juck Lec himseif is x prominent and strong, Democratic candidate for Governor, nnd hence he did not care to talk politics with a Trreuxg reporter. Tux trouble between the elty and the street - Failway companies in reference to removing the dirt from the tracks of the lntter has not yet Leen setticd. “In the pust the company has thrown the dirt. from its tracks, dJeaving the city to haul it away, but since there igso much bemg said about street-cleaning the city authorities think the roads should not only clean their tracks, but remove the dirt from tho Streets. The compunies object, of course, and say that if compelied to haul the dirt nway, or puy the city for duing it. they will have to put ‘upthelrfares. They appear willing, however, to 90 4 part of the work, but not the proportion the city thinks they should, but it is highly probable Ubat some understanding will be reached. Any terms the city may make will be an improve- ment over the present condition of affairs, and both parties to the controversy uppear to take this View of it. Tate Saloon ceners’ Association met at Au- roru Turner-Hull yesterday afternoon. Messrs. Dicter, Morle. and Langeenbahn were appoint- ed x committee to revise the constitution and by-laws. The Judiciary Committee were in- structed to examine the books of the Financial Secretary and report at the ‘next mecting. The resolutions adopted at the North Side ; Turner-Hult ek jast ae ee were unanimously ratitied. A ‘long communication was read by the Secretary from William Clem- ents, a member of the AsSociution, recommend- ing the establishment of a weekly paper in the interest of the suloonkeepers. He claimed that there was no organ to titly represent their views, and x paper of this kind he thought could be nude tw puy. Discussion was had on the project, and it was laidon the table. The mutter will probubly be brought before the Saloonkeepers’ Convention in September. The Kuseck cuse was called up, and the Judiciary Committee reported that nothing further could be done in the mat- ter, althougt they had nu doubt that Mr. Koscelc told the truth, and the ‘police were guilty of making an unwarruntuble arrest. Tho Associn- You then adjourned. At the next mecting the election of olficers will e place. THE UTES. GEN. CHARLES ADAMS arrived in Chicago yesterday from the West, and Jeft last evening for Washington, accompanied by his wife. A TruuNey reporter found the gcenUemnn at the Grand Pucific Hotel, and had a short conversation with him. Gen. Adums is averse to saying anything at all for publication, because every thing. that he utters, he says, . Teuches the people of Colorddo in a garbicd con- @ition, and he is therefore mispresented. He left Dougias at the prison at Fort Leavenworth. t was the General's desire to take all three of the prisoners to Washington and then incarcer- ute them in Fortress Monroe, but the orders game totuke all three to Fort Leavenworth. This Gen, Adams could not do ulone, and he bad no one w help him,so he concluded to take Douglas - over anyway and have him confined in the military prison. He had asked for a couple of soldiers as escort, and, hud this teen granted:him, he could have turned all tree prisoners over to them, and they could thus easily have been taken to Fort Leaven- worth. But it would have been a great deal better to have taken them all on to Washington, and trom there huve transferred the prisoners to! Fortress Monroe. When Douglas left the band to gu to prison he became more communi- vat He said that Juck was quite as guilty as and be was uuw without friends. His family was broken up and bad deserted him, and for that reason he was willing to die, which he expected to do. The Indian, when he reuched Fort Leavenworth, knew ‘what it_ meant. They consider it 2 death whenever the walls close around them, and thelr friends give them up, tosee them no more. There was a doubt about the boy Thomas sharing in the wurder of the Meeker family, but as to Tim Johnson and Douglas, the proce against them wes positive. ‘There ure still nine of the murderers at large. Nearly alt of them will be caught, asthe Utes how are thoroughly cowed, and are anxious to give them up. Some of them are hidden in the mountains, but they will turn up and be surren- dered at Just, Pesune, he thought, would never be captured without a fight -He is in Utah, as Stated in yesterday's Tuoxe. Gen. Adams hud no further information to impart. THE COURT-HOUSE. + THE MARBLE CONTRACT. There appeared in the Staats-Zeitung of yes- terday a communication or statement in regurd t the contract for wainscoting in the new Court-House, which was awarded to the Bur- lington Manufacturing Company at their bid of §45,0W. The paper referred to stated that a Mr. Jsermann, believed to be well qualified to judge of this class or work, had said that the amount of work to be done was ubout 60,000 square feet, which would make the cost to the county 75 vents per square foot. He further alleged that the marble unpolished cost $1 per square foot, while some specimens on exhibition itt Architect Eyan's office were valued at double that price. Besides this, the jambs of the wiudows, the pro- iections, and other parts of the work were to be of the most solia character, and the spcciticu- Hons require that where there ure fastenings they should be of soppen, Properly secured. The inference was drawn that it would be im- ossible for the Burlington Manufacturing mpany'to supply dollur-marble tor 75 cents, even though prison labor wus used ee it. Yesterday afternoon a reporterof THe Trinuse visited the oftice of the Company and inquired of two members of the firm us tw the truth of the allegations. They bud not seen the article referred to, but when its substance was ex- Pluined to them they with one accord said they tought it best not to make any statement un- der the circumstances. Mr. Brainard, who had Special charge of this work, was absent in the Eust, and would not return until Monday. They did not want anvthing said on the subject, and seemed specially anxious not to have their numes published in connection with it. As they politely evaded the question when asked their uames, their wishes are respected. But, having declared thut they would not on any account have anvthing published pending the contirmation of the contrict, which may be reconsidered at the Bourd meeting next Mon- day, both gentlemen proceeded to explain bow it was that the Burlington folks could underbid their competitors. In thetirst place they owned the largest quarries in Vermont, and those who Did against them had to buy the marble in the rough from them. ‘They had hills fullof mar- bie, and if they chose to sell the stone for what *| At cost to quarry it that was their business. They declined wo say whether their stock was worth a dollar a square foot or not, and it was none of Mr. Isermann’s business anybow. Of course in this contract there had been a zood deal of jealousy and a pretty hard fight. The Burling- tou Company had a competitor in Milwaukee whom they were bound to beat, even if they lost money by it There Was no Sanger xbout this cuntract,—it woul through all right, anc Cook County would have a ‘g00d job, and” enn that the figures given in the article were not mn Company bad bid. A good mechanic could save a it deal of stone, for the work was not all solid. the speaker afterwards illustrated to the re- Porter by showing him samples of the work. Inuntels, etc. As to the Penitentlary labor, the Compuny were bound by their contract not to do any of this work by” convict labor. “It wes true that they employed convict labor at Joliet, but this work would be done by regularmechan. ies. In conclusion, xentiemen requested ‘that the matter should not be stirred up, 23 they did not think jt advisable. SOCIAL. GEORGE H. THOMAS POST. The seventh annual reception of the George 8. Thomas Post, No.5,G.A.R, was held last evening in Gtand Army Hall, Nos. 167 and i869 ty couples were in attendance, and the evening was passed in a very pieasant manner, dancing being the most Prominent feature of the occasion. The floor of the large nnll was in excellent condition, and Kretlow’s orchestra furnisued good music. About 11 o'clock a substantial re- Past was spread in the reception-room, and it was heartily relished by the guests. “After the supper dancing was resumed, and kept up until a reasonably late htinr. ‘The , program consisted of fourteen numbers’ appropriately dedicated. .

A special meeting of the City Council was held last evening, Mayor Harrison in the chair, and barely a quorum present. : On motion of Ald. Lawler, the Council went into Committee of the Whole to take up the Ap- propriation bill. : Ald. Meier called up his old motion to add to the appropriation an item of $20,000 for the maintenance of free bathing-houses. The mo- tion prevailed by 2 vote of 11 to 8. ‘The next item tuken up was the salaries of the Janitors, watchmen, and engineers for the City- Hall, ete., amounting to $10,085. ° : Ald. Lawler moved the amount be increased to $10,300,—or the restoration of the § per cent de- ducted from sularies,—which prevaile ‘The items of $600 for street signs, $1,500 for advertising, printing, ctc., were passed, as was algo thy: item of $16,092 for the Fullerton-avenue. vonduit. The salary of the Commissioner of Public Works was fixed at $3,900. The pay of his See- retury was fixed ut $2,000; Secretary's clerk, $900; bookkeeper, $2200; and assistant bouk? keeper, $1,800." The rest ‘of the salaries in the department were made the sume us lust year. ‘The only question raised was asto the culate of the Superintendent of Streets, which Ald. Bur- rett suught to reduce from $2,400 to $1,500, but was unsuccessful, When the item for SIDEWALK INSPECTORS was reached a motion wits mude to abolish the position, and, after considerable wrangling, the motion was iuid over for future consideration, the iden being to make an_ upproprintion for sidewalk repairs instead of for useless salaries, Aneffort was mude by the Communist mem- bers to increase the sahiries in the Map Depart- ment.—the Superintenden: & $1,800 and the Draughtsman two $1200.—but B failed. The sulu- ry of the Superintendent was left ut $1,500 and that of the Draughtsman was fixed at $1,050, The Water Department appropriation was passed temporarily, and the item of $3,850 for election expenses was pussed. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT was next reached, and all of the salaries were left as they were lust year—the 5 per cent reduc- tion being: restured—except that of the Secre- tary of the Department, whose pay was mised froin $1.80 to $2,000. Ald. Lawler tried to get the sa‘ary of the Superintendent of the Fire Alarm Telegraph raised, but was unsuccesstul. For uew material £24,707 was allowed; tor re- pairs of engines, $14,027; for repairs of harness, $8,000; for supplies, ete.. $52,616; for rent, $1,200; for Fire Alurmn ‘Celegraph, $12,493; for- purchase of engine-house lot in the vicinity. of Aberdcen and Madison streets, $5,000; for salaries of men and furnishing houses of Engine Companies Nos. 30 and 31, $20,000; for purchase of chemical engine for No. 13, 31,855; for chemical engine for Hook and Ludder House No. 4, $1,855; for seven watchmen, $3,591; and $20,591 for the purchase of four new engines. THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT Was next reached. All of the sularies were left us they were lust year, the5 per cent deducted ‘by. the Finunce Committee being restored. The estimate, however, was run up by adding six In- spectors for factories ata salary of $800 per year ‘The item for judgments was raised from $72,- 534 to $79,200, und the items of $6,000 for legal expenses and $1,100 for Police Court expenses were passer A Ald. McNally wanted to get in an item of $7,000 for the establishing of an additional Police Court in the West Division. Ald. Wickersham was opposed to the item, be- cause the city was not in 2 financial condition to make the appropriation. The Mayor suid a new Police Court would be a matter of great economy, for it would save n great deal of police work. If $7,000 would be enough to run the court, of whicb he had doubts, it would be economy to make the uppropriation. Ald. Dixon was opposed to the proposition on the ground of economy. ‘The city had gutten along with its present courts. and he believed it could do it another year. Policemen and sewers were worse needed than more courts were, and he hoped the item would nut be allowed. , Ald. Phelps thought the scheme was in the interest: of creating new offices, and was opposed After some further discussion, the item allowed. # ee! THE POLICE DEPARTMENT was nextreached. The pay of the General Su- perintendent was fixed at $3,600. The Superin- tendent's secretary wus raised from $2.85 to ‘$2,500, and the pey of all of the other ollicers and employés was left the sane as last year, the 5 per cent being restored which was de? ducted by the Finance Committee. When the item of detectives was reached Ald. Cullerton moved that the number be increased fom fifteen to twenty, and the motion pre- vailed. When the item of 316 patrolmen was reached Al ixon moved that the number be increased. to 366 men. Ald. Cullerton moved that the number be 3%, the sume ns last year. He said the Mayor thought 316 men Were enough, or at Jeast had cut down the force to that number. Ald. Altpeter wanted ‘the police force in- crensed, and argued that in his section of the city there wus no protection whatever. He bad usked the Superintendent of Police to protect the property fn his locality from the boys throw- ing Stoues, and had been told that he did not have enough men. He wanted the force in- creasud by 100 men, Ald. Ballard was in favor of increasing the force if it would do any good, but he feared it would not, from the fuct that the criminals were not punished after they were caught, and be. sides, it was a fact that us soon a8.a criminal Was sent to the Bridewell- an Alderman was after him to get him pardoned out. s Ald. Wetterer wanted to see J00 more men, and said that in the Larrabee street district eleven officers were now protecting 42,000 peo- ple, Ald. Wickersham asked the Mayor how many men he thought would be necessary. The Mayor replied that if it was Proposed to rotect this city with patrolmen it would take OW men. He did not think this could be done, but the best way: was tohavean effective secret. service organizition. Ald. Rewleigh suggested that the item of Patrolmen be stricken out. entirely, and that the $270,000 it was proposed to"pay them. be “appro- printed as a seeret service fund, which created considerable amusement, Ald. Dixon thought the suggestion particularly Severe on the Mayor. No conclusion was reached, and the Committee stose_and reported rogress. The Council then udjourned until londay evening. LOCAL POLITICS. THE IRISH-AMERICAN REPUBLICAN CLUB held-a.special meeting at the Grand Pacitie last. evening, President Morrison in the chair, and about seventy-five members present. Mr. Nolan, the Corresponding Secretary, read letters from Gov. Cullom, Collector Harvey, and Secretary Sherman, acknowledging the receipt of cards of honorary membership in the Club and returning thanks therefor. The Ictter of the Secretary of the Treasury was as follows: “WASHINGTON, Feb. 24, 1880.—James Nolan, Eeg., Sceretury, etc—DEAR Str: 1 have to Re knowledge gage of your letter of the 15th, inclosing a .of honorable member! ship in’ the Irish-American Republican Club of Chicago.

CnrrcaGo, Feb. 27.~—The magnificent reception accorded to Mr. Parnell und his collengue.in this city seems to have roused the wrath of the Dublin Freeman's Journal. Immediately follow- ing the arrival of the news in Dublin, the Free- man's Journal bas come outwith a leader de- nouncing Mr, Parncll in the most bitter and un- measured language. Probably very few pco- ple in Chicaro or the Northwestern States will trouble their heads Freeman's Journal thinks or say one should wonder what all this may mean, we much ubout what the Dublin think it 23 well to give, in a few words, the true explanution. The proprietor and editor of the Dublin Freeman is Mr.Gray, the present Lord Mayor of Dublin, dent and organizer Mr. Gray is also the Presi- ot the Mansion House Relicf Committee. On several occasions recently Mr. Parnell strongly urge to intrust their tothe Irish Land Gray's Committee. his reasons for giving such advice, and we do has thought the charitable it his duty to ones offerings for distribution League rather than to Mr. Mr. Parnell has fully stated not now propose to enter into that controversy. We merely refer to these {ncts because they furnish a reason why Mr. Gray should naturally be somewhat mortified at the reception which Mr. Parnell received in Chicago, and more par- ticularly at the resi solution in favor of the Land, League passed unanimously at the great. mcet- ing here. But this is not all. All persons who are familiar with the history of Irish politics during the past year know that some six or eight months ugo there arose a bitter personal qua*rel between 3fr, Parnell and Mr. Gray, in which by common consent-Mr. Gray was wholly in the wrong. Subsequently the Land League was founded, and Mr. Parnell was unanimously elected President of that body. on this selection being notified, Mr. Gray's Paper, the Freeman, set itself with might and muin to crush the Land League. In this it hus ‘failed signally, since the Land League under Mr. Parnell’s management has thriyen wonder- fully and done some splendid work in Ireland. Next came Mr. Parnell's departure for America, and then Lord-Mayor’ Gray set himself to organize the Mansi lon House Relief Committee. Now, at the time when Mr. Gray proceeded to get up this Commi ttee, the Land Lengue was fully established, with ‘branch associations all through the country: admirabi; distribution of relict.

The Union Pacific made a perpetual lease of its lines to the Atlantic & Pacific some Fears ago, by which it is bound to give all the revenues from the offices operated by the Railroad Company to the Atlantic & Pacific, and received in compensation therefor nearly $2,000,000 of the Company’s stock. The Western Union Mneson the main stem of the Union Pacific have not been disturbed. At the office’of the American Union Company itwas stated that ‘the tirst move in the present war Was contained ina letter written by Presi- dent Eckert, Feb. 15, to officers of the Union Pa- cific, which includes the Kansas Pacific Railway Company, making upon them a formal demand for the use of their wires. The letter was referred to the counsel of the Kailway Company, who returned 2 long opinion, in which they said: “ You have laid before us the letter of the Pres- ident of the American Uuion Telegraph Com- pany, in which he states his Company has com- pleted lines of telegraph from the Atlantic Ocean to the terminus of your road at Kansas City and Omaha; that it proposes to accept from the public telegraphic messages destined for points on your :lincs, and desires you to accept and transmit messages to it whenever tho' sender so directs. He asks that his Company be granted as favora- ble terms and conditions for such exchange of telegraphic business as your Company grants uny other corporation or individual. Our opin- ion is desirtd ns to the duty of your Company in his behalf, under its charter and the legislation of Congress. Oneof the conditionsof the grants by’ Congress is that the companies shall keep said raflroad and {telegraph lines ‘in re- pairand use, and at all times transmit over suid telegraph line, éte. The companies were moreover ‘required “to opernte and use said roads and telegraph'for al! purposes of commu- nication and transportation so faras the public and Government is concerned as one continuous line, without discrimination of any kind,’ and, it was expressly enacted not to be liwful for the proprietors: of any line of tele- graph authorized uby this “act to refuse or fail to convey. messages and news for all persons requiring; such transmission. The duty iu respect of the-telegraph as well as the wus considered so important that it is en- ‘| foreed by penal sanctions, civil and criminal. “The foregotug and numerous other provis- fons show that Congress placed the telegraph lne in respect to its’ construction, muintenance, and use by the Pacific companies upon precisely the suine footing as the line of railroads. Bot! were internal parts of the great end in view. in respect of both, the duties of the companies are, soto phrase it, personal, and no authority is given them to devolve them on others. On well- known principles of aw, such frunchises are inalienable without ress legislative authori- ty. Not only is thererabsence of such authori- ty, but its existence is plainly negutived by the nature of the rights reserved tothe Government, and special duties toward the Government and public enjoined on thé:companies, which they ulone can perform, #£hus the Companies are required to transmit messages for the Govern- ment, and the carningg-of telegraph lines from this source are to be applied in payment of Gov- ernment bonds. Sovthe several Pacific Com- panies are required towoperute and use their re- spective rouds and telegraph as_one continuous Une, without discrimination in favor of or against any companies, and it is mnde unlawful ‘for them or the — propric- tors of the telegraph -line to refuse or fail to transmit news or messages for all persons. It results, therefore, that no valid lease or other contract ‘can be made: by the companies to sur- render or to devolyg:on others their duty to maintain control and «mannge their respective lines of telegraph. They can’ no more do this in respect of their ines of telegraph than they can in ect of their nes of railway. Anysdease or contract to that effect is ultra vires. In view of the foregoing considerations the answer to the yuestion presented on behalf of the Amer- jenn Union*is obvious. Assuming that under their charter the Kansas Pacific and Union Pa- cific Railroad Companies originally constructed and thereby became proprietors of lines of tele- graph, it is the duty. of their successor, the present Union Pneific Railway Company, to maintain and use thom. It cannot refuse to receive and transmit messages from and to the American Union Telégraph Company, or any other company or persons, without violating its duty and incurring civil and crimina) penalties. Any proprietor of a telegraph linc under the authority of the Pacific acts is likewise bound to receive and transmit messages for Whe pete or now, in the hour of . for any other company, under the penalties Ppre- scribed by Congress. : >. “Srmpxsy BANcrort. i a. “JOHN F. DILLON.” On the strength of this Mr. Gould telegraphed an order to J. J. Dickey, Superintendent ot Tel- egraphs of the Union Pacitic at Kansas City, to uiford the American Union Company free use of the Compuny’s lines to-day. The following dis- patch was received in response: Order fully carried out Inst night, and we took J complete possession of all the lines of the Union Pucitic Railway and branches, und these linesare now open for public business from any and all telegraph companies on equal terms, |. J. Dickey, Superintendent. In 1803 the Kansas Pacific made a contract with the Western Union, which was to run twenty-five years. and not only gave the latter Company a ‘compicte monopoly of ail the tele- graph lines, but even bound itself not to transport ‘material. for any rival telegraph company. To those'agreements were, however, faded the words, “So far as it has’ the legal right and power to do-so,” and the American Union people claim such legal right or power did not exist, They also asstrt that the Govern- ment hus never recognized this contract or the one entered into by the Union Pacific with the Atluntic & Puciftc, which was in perpetuity. KANSAS. CITY. Kansas Crry, Mo., Feb. 27.-There fs a tele- graph war in Kansas, Nebraska, and Colorado. Inthe face of the injunctions granted by the courts in Denver and in Kansas to restrain the American: Union Telegraph Company and the Kansas Pacific Railrond Company from in- terference with the existing lines of the West- ern Union Telegraph Company upon that railroad, the railrond company this morning cus out all the wires from all Western Union offices at Denver and Kansas City, At the same time the Western Union wires were cut upon the Central bragch of the Union Pacific frém Atchison west, the St. Joseph & Western, and the Denver Pacific Rail- rouds, and the offices thercon were seized. All of these ronds have contracts with the Western Union, under which it has ownership in the property, and bus been work- ing with” the railronds for many years to the present date hurmoniously. On the Union Pacific Railroud the telegraph line is leased in perpetuity to the Atiuntic & Pucitic Telezraph’ Company. The wires wero also cut from the offices of the Intter.Company av. Omaha this morning, and carried to the office of the Ameri- can Union Company, opened in that city. As- gurances were yesterday given by the Union Pacific uuthorities to the Atlantic & Pacific Company that no intention of this kind existed. It is suid this movement is made by direct order of Mr. Gould. in the interest of his new tele- graph company, ‘The Western Union Company is satisfied that the courts will enforce obedience to the injunc- tions which have been so_ openly violated, and seems entirely confident of its ability to secure fu eurly return of all its contract rights and Property. The business public on the lines of these ruilroads is already expressing great in- digantion at the embargo thus iaid upon tele- Bruphic communication by cutting loose from the Western Union system. : ; OMAILA. : Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Omaita, Neb., Feb. 27.—The telegraph war has at lust reached Omaha. Early this morning we Union Pacific took possession of the Atlantic -& Pacifie wires, cutting them out from the Western Union office. This was in accordance with the plun which was carried out last night at all points where these lines ran along the Gould system of railways.
