LETTERS continue to pour in from all parts of the country containing requests for full and complete “information regarding the Grand ‘Triennial Couclave of the Knights Templar in ‘ibis city during the coming August.

Gassette, bas his bands full in attempting to keep up with this perfect mass of mail matter and haé but little to communicate in the way of current news concerning the approaching Con- cluve beyond the statement, based on this cor- respondence, that it will bring to Chicago one of the largest crowds ever seen here, it not, in- deed, the largest, without any exceptions; = the “procession” will include from to 300 musicians, to say _ nothing of the Knights themselves; and_that- this inflow of strangers will not be restricted to the Musonic fraternity, but will include people gen- erally, attracted here by the unusually inter- esting and extensive character of the gathering and by the fact that it is to be held in the great summer resort of the Northwest.

A special meeting of the Bar Association was he terday xtternoon in their rooms in the Furwell Hall Building, There were about thirty-tive present. The object of the meeting was Stated to be the question of a removal to new quarters. The Secretary read the list of rooms proposed, none of which Suited the Committce. Mr. Judd then stated that the Bourd of Mana- gers bad decided to recommend the use of Faire bank Hall in the New Music-Hall. This was to be provided at a rental of $300 per annum for all the regular and special meetings of the Asso- ciation, with the privilee of commitee roows. Ir wad unanimously decided to necept the of- fer, and, as the annual meeting will be heid ‘April 3, it was decided to commence the work of diately, Ihe Board of gers were instructed to dispose of the present furni- ture at their discretion. Elliott Anthony introduced a series of resolu- tions calling for action on the question of the bribery of Jurors, and also directing attention to the fact that murderers and men charged with high crimes were often held months and years without trial. The resolutions were piece on file, as not be- ing embraced in the call for the special meeting. ‘The Committe on Inquiry, through 2. & Tut- hill, presented a report recommending that one or more representatives be uppolnted to ferret outand punish offenders against the purity of juries, and further’ recommending that a fund should be established for that purpose. 3 President Stiles, in referring to the matter, suid that the entering wedge had been driven, and, although the meunbers were not to mention it, he believed that thé whole system would be split wide open. Judge Morin, he suid, was de- termined to push the thing to the end. The Association then adjourned to make a visit to the new rooms, witb which all expressed themselves as pleased. TAGS GONE DOWN. ‘ One of the reasons which the print-paper manufacturers have been ussigning fortheir un- ealled-for increase in the price of paper was that rags had gone up largely. Inauarticle published in Tue Trisuxz some weeks ago it was shown that there hnd been quite a jump in that article, but that, nevertheless, the manu- facturers of print-paper used so small a propor- tion of rags that the cost of manufacturing was not perceptibly increased. But the price of rags has now gone down, and with it this alleged rea- Son of the monopolists. At the time the article referred to Was published in Tue TRIBUNE, rags were scarce, and junk-shops were paving $3.35 per 100 peunds for them. ‘The housekeepers of Chicago were:told by THE TriuuNe how the price bad gone up, were notified that it was worth their while to save their rags, and to sell what they bad, and also to insist that the ped- dlers should pay them a fair price. The result of all this has been that an enormous quuntity of rags has been thrown on the market, and the price bas dropped from $335 for good rags down to $3 and $285. Of this fact, howeyer, the housewives are not awure, and they don't understand, consequently why the peddler should refuse to pay them three cents per pound. The fuct is, however, that the ped- ‘ler cannot just now. A profitef 35 cents per 100 pounds” does not, he claims, cover the ex- pense of running ateam. hire of labor, ete, So, probably, the women will bave to submit to a reduction in price. All the junk-shops here are Said to be lumbered up with rags. for which there isnodemand at the mills, The monop- olists will have to invent some other reason tor their uncalled-for increase in the price of print- paper. MR. THOMAS COATES, of the famous thread-manufucturing firm of Puisley, Scotland, and. Pawtucket, R. €, with bis tamily, arrived in the.city Inst evenin: up quarters at the Grand Pacific. This is the gen- Uenian’s tirst visit to this city, and he expects to sail for home from New York on the lath of next month. A TRIBUNE reporter puid the gen- uleman a visit last evening, and Mr. Contes said that his firm were so much interested in this country that their factory in Rhode Island was nearly as large as that at home, the American employing 1,700 and the Scottish factory 2,000 hands. He said that it takes a lifetime to build upthe business of making spool-thread, but there was plenty of competition in it, neverthe- less. “Go to Chicago,” everybody suid at home, and he bud come to see. this reat city.“ You are yet in your infancy,” said be, ‘and you show a wonderful growth. This is 2 great city: magnificent hotels. We, at home, I am sorry to say, are suffering from depression of trade just as you have been suffering for the past five years. Bad crops have caused it mainly witb us, and the failure of our crops came at an opportune time for your country,—just when you had your granaries full, and we could use the surpiua, ] think there will be a revival soon. Your country sutfered first, and is the first tore- vive. It is not alone Great Britain that suffered from poor crops, but, in fact, the entire Conti- nent, and you bud enough to supply thein all. But not much grain fs being purchased in En- gland now, because they think it is held b: Speculators in America aud forced to false hig! prices.” Mr. Coates and his family will stay in Chicago some five days, and will visit the various points of interest in and about the city, THE ARITHMOMETER. ‘There {s at present in Room 1S, No. 18t Clark street, a curious little contnvance for register- ing money taken in from sales, and for detect- ing carelesness or *“ knocking-down” on the partof employés. The contrivance is named tho Arithmometer and Detective. The principal features of the devices consist in a long scale, t> be attached to the cashier's desk, and a large dial connected with it and marked around its circumference witb figures all the wap up from tive to ninety-five, each figure being just five more than {ts predecessor. A smaller dial con- tains all the figures from one to five, and is designed as a dollar-diai, the larger one being for cents. The cashier, by pulling down a cord attached to the scale before him, and slipping the peg to which the card is attached into a hole designated by a figure rep- resenting the amount of money received, rings a bell at the top of the dial and moves a dial band to the same Agure onitsrace. The scale is provided with two of these cards,—one for cents and the other for dojizrs. The cards pass around wheels near the top and inside the ap- paratus, and, after baving indicated the extent ‘of the transaction, run back by means of springs to _ the point from which they were moved. An interior wheel arrangement, the key to which is to be kept by the employer, adds up the ticures rep- resenting single sales, and thus, affords a check against the ways of the cashier who may happen to be “peculiar” or careless, The apparatus is at once an accountant as well as a detective, the interior arrangement enabling the proprietor to keep a correct record of his business by the day, week, month,or year. When a customer pays half a dollar, for instance, the bell must ring ‘and the hand on the dial- face must point to 50, or gomething is wrong. The record cannot be altered, the cashier is responsible for what it shows his re- ceiptstohave been, Ifthere is a shortage at any time, the conclusion is plain that he has either pocketed something or given out too much change, ond in either case he {is held liable for the deficiency. The limit for single transac- tions fs $5, and, as already explained, no account is made of anything under five cents, though in both these respects the inventor proposes to in- crease the utility of his invention by construct- ing registers for any amount. THE ARTESIAN WELL PROPERTY. An evening paper having published a story Yesterday: to the effect that a Spiritualist named. Williamson had laid claim to the artesian-well property on West Chicago avenue, west of West- ern avenue, which for some years past has been in the possession of Mr. T. B. Read and the widow of the late George Carmichnel,u TRIGUNE reporter called yesterday evening upon Mr. Read and questioned him as’ to the nature of Mr. Williamson's claim. It will be remembered that the property consists of forty acres of ind, in which is located a splendid artesian well which floods the greater part of the tract, the pond thus formed yielding, in favorable winters, a splendid crop of ice. Mr. Read, first of all, confounded the name Williamson with that of Williams, and. went on to explain that in 1870 the Artesian Well Co: pany, represented by Messrs. George A. Shu- feldt and a Mr.Croskey, mude a contract with Mr. Williams to sell the property for $140, 20,000 cush and the rest on ume. Mr. Willizms claimed that he was acting for a Mr. Ricketts, a railroad man of Indiaugpolis, whobad bought upa number of judgments against the Company. Negonutions were at this time begun between . Carmichael, who held about $60,000 worth of mortgnges on the property, and Mr. Ricketts which resulted, shortly after the fire, in Mr. Carmichael's paving the latter $60.00 for his claims. Mr. Williams, however, hud nothing to do with the transaction, and never paid a cent t anybody on his contract with the Artesian- Well Company, whose property came in due form into Mr. Carmichuel’s hands. When the reporter, however, reminded Mr. Read that the claimant's name was not Williams, he suddenty remembered the latter name as that of a “crazy Spiritualist “ who had some years ago tent Shu- feldt and Croskey some few thousands of dollars, which, however, could not in any way be consid- ered as a lien upon the Property. He bad never heard of Williamson as @ claimant to the property, and, as be had not seen him for fourteen years, he felt confident no claim of hfs could utfect the present owner's title to it. The elaim of Shufeldt and Croskey, the original owners of the lund, was sold to Mr. Hicketts by the United States Court for about $6u,000 twelve years ago, and he in turn sold to Mr. Carmichael, as already described. All transfers of the Property dad been made ina manner fair and above-board. and every trans- action been duly advertised. The negotin- tions which resulted in Mr. Carmicbuel's secur- ing the property extended frum some time be- fure the tire until some time after it, and in all this time the question of any claim by William- son was never hestrd of. The proper owned in equal shures by the widuw of Mr. Car. michael and Mr. Read. who thinks that Mr. Willfamson’s claim is as ethereal in its nature as the religious teuets of the cluimant, THE CITY-HALL, ‘Work will be resumed on the new City-Hall to-morrow. Tre work onthe approaches to the Madison street bridge will be finished to-morrow, and Tuesday morning it Will be thrown open to travel. ‘Tae City Engineer has discovered that the east abutment of the Polk strect bridge is sadly in Reed of rebuilding, and if itis determined that e money can be spared work in afew ‘days. cre eEae ee ‘Tne City Engineer and some other officials of Milwaukee were in the city yesterday exumin- ing the Fullerton avenue conduit with a view to adding some such improvement works of their city. P ene ee mabe Gronge Howarp Ecters, of New York, waa yesterday appointed Superintendent of the Sew- erage Department to fill the vacancy which bas existed for some time.

Commissioner Waller is tindin; considerable difficulty, as has already been noted. in eee ing the’ necessary reforms in the ‘Water-Outice, Fes y he found it necessary todosome more letters fine in the determinatign to make. Bias self understood, and to add such further detail .to the new rules as would inake his instructions complete. From and after date, all payments in the office must be made fo the Cashion direct, is ain r dis- or bis assistants, on pain, of dismissal for dis~ obedience. Division cl Ss the accompanying tickets and Coe ane Te dhe Ceabler, who tikes hand them money, stamps, receipts, and tickets, passes the former -to the — Registrar And sticks the latter on the proper file. The Registrar, after catering up the receipts in the prover book, pisses them over to the waiting Water-rent-payers. Credits of cash payments ein be entered up by the division clerks on their books only from the stumped tickets, which are proofs of payment. At the close of the day the clerks are to add up these tickets, and the aggregate must apreo with the Kegis- trur’s aggregate and the Cashier's cash pile. When a clerk's aggregate dvesn’t tally with the Registrar's account of the same, that unhappy cierk must abandon all thoughts of matinées, base-ball matches, and things, and remain untit the mistake is straightened out. Resistance to or refusal to obey these instructions is, to promptly reported to the ‘Commissioner, who is dead set against any insubordination, and deter- mined to see the office run according to his in- structions and on strict business principles. Ina postscript Mr. Waller expressed the hope that ds Superintendent would positively forbid smoking by the employés during public business hours, for the reason that. it looks badly and tends to insubordination,” and added that “if a clerk or employé is so uddicted to drink that he must go out during business hours to brace his nerves or satisfy his thirst, he is unfit tor his place. I hope you will give a positive order ugainst this also.” There isno doubt but that the clerks in that oftice will have a hard time of it from now on. There is likewise no doubt but that the city will be better served than it has been for years. THE COUNTY-BUILDING. Tie County Treasurer yesterday received the Town Collectors’ béoks of the Towns of Lake and Hyde Park. Tne Joint Committee on Public Service and Buildings considered the Walker claim yester- day afternoon, and resolved to recommend the payment to Mr. Walker of $51,000. ALL persons desirous of making any change in the listing of their property are requested by the County Clerk to do so as soon ae 80 that it will be assessed properly for 1880. THE case of Henry Voss and Henry Sailer, charged with the manslaughter of August Frei- berg, ended yesterday afternoon after a three-days’ trial, which cost the county nbout $1,000. The jury, after a ‘brief consultation, brought in a Verdict of acquittal. Tae Clarence Davis bigamy case will be one of the first to be brought before the Grand Jury. Monday morning. It is suid that Miss Lynch, of Quiney, will not testify against him, as she bas become convinced tbat she is the only luwful Mrs. Davis, and therefore looks forward to a happy termination to her matrimonial turmoils. There is no truth in ne reported attempted suicide of Davis in the jail. e story was told as a joke by one of tho prisoners to an evening- paper reporter, who swallowed the bnit and tailed to make inquiries at the Jailer's office for verification. Tie drowning in a bath-tub of the infant son of Dr. Meger, which was recorded in Tus TrriB- UNE of last Thursday, has aroused considerable feeling in the neighborood, and many of the peo- ple living there are by no means careful in mentioning their suspicions of foul play. A number of them yesterday called upon State’s- Attorney Mills, and insisted that the old poison- ing case, in which Dr. Meyer, the father ot the drowned child, and Mrs. Gelderman (the nt Mrs. Meyer) were churged with murdering’Mr. Gelderman and the former Mrs. Meyer, shall be again investigated by the Grand Jury. These people brought no new evidence to bear on the case, but they insisted so strongly upon its being again looked into, that there isa possibility of the case coming up once more. NATIONAL NOTES. Tex thousand dollars in gold was disbursed yesterday. A.M. Craxe, the Special Revenue Agent lo-~ cated in this city, returned yesterday from Pe~ oria.
