‘BASE-BALL. | Opening of the League Champion- ship Season Yesterday. Chicago, Providence, Worcester, and Buffalo the Victors, And Cincinnati, Boston, Troy, and Cleveland the Vanquished. 3 J Accounts by Telegraph of the Different Contests—Gossip of the Game, GAMES YESTERDAY. Bpeciat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Crscixxati, O., May L—There were nearly £,000 people out to-day to see the first game of the League season between the Cincinnatis and the Chicecos. The day was fair and the weather warm, while the game was one of the most ex- citing ever seen here. It was nobody's victory tll the last moment, when the Chicagos by a Ittle hard hitting from the tail end of their batting order rot in the tying and the winning run. Itwas a finely-pitched game on each sido. The Cincinnatis failed to hit Corcoran safely more than four times, and the Chicagos getting in - fo more than one safe of White, except in the Jastinning. In the fifth inning Anson had two on bases to bat home, but was 60 puzzled by White that he struck out, to thegreat amuse- ment of the crowd. The Chicagos scored their first rung in the second inning on a base on balls ‘py Anson and Kelly's cracking four-base hit over Pureell’s head. In the next inning Manning scored for bis side by an error of Kelly's and. Dalrymple’s bad muff -of Leon- ard’s hat’ bulf-line fly, Leonard — being Jeft on third. The Cincinnatis scored again jn the eightb—two earned runs—on a single by Manning and a home-run hit by Clapp. the ninth fnning, after the Cincinnatis hud been to pat and fuiled to score, the Colcagos came to bat determined to win. Corooran began with 2 corking hit to lett field, Sam Wright fumbled and threw low a bit from Burns.

The Irregularities in the Election Re« turns from the Seventh Precinct of the Fourteenth Ward were the topic of discussion yesterday. An- examination of the returns showed that Michael Walsh, C. L. Shilling, and John Gibbs had acted as judges, and that Theo- dore Schulze and Michael Barrett had acted as clerks, but none of them came around except Shilling, who said, substantially, that, the re- turns bad been changed since he signed them. He had no information, however, as to who had made the changes, and his story generally was decidedly mixed, and his explanations anything bur clear or satisfactory. For instance, bo could not say whohad made the alterations in the tally-sheet that he charged had been made, and about all he couldor did say was in self- defense. : The Mayor and several Aldermen looked over the returns in the afternoon, and were particu- larly interested in the situation. They found that not only had alterations been made in the tally-shect, but the envelope containing the re- turns bad been opened before reaching the City Clerk. Ex-Ald. Ityan was present, and gave it ‘out that be had made a search for une of the judges,—Michael Walsh.—with a view to getting an explanation, but bad been unable-to find him, and at once the conclusion was reached that he had left town or was secreting himself. This conclusion, however, was Inst evening found to be unfounded, fora reporter had the misfortune to meet him at his home. He was upronriously drunk, and in the argu- ment of the question ‘at issue the scribe narrowly esca: oeing chewed up. He was holding a sort of a jubilee when approached, and was having what would be called a “jrood time.” and the most that could be gotten from him was that he was an honest Irishman, and that the tally-sheet, as it appeared, was a faith- ful exhibit of the vote of the Seventh Precinct for Alderman. He said that the vote bad been canvassed regularly, and tried to explain the erasures on the tally-sheet by saying that he discovered the mistake made by a drunken clerk,—the crediting to Stauber of more votes than he received,—and caused the change be made, but, like Shilling, bis mind was not clear as to who made the erasures, and who the drunken .clerk was he could not distinctly re- member. . The reporter also looked for Mr. Gibbs, but he could uot be found. A knock at his door brought the information from the head of a seep Pair of Stairs that he did norTive at No. 265 Augusta street any more, and that he had moved. about.a week ago to some unknown place. It was learned, however, through an- other channel, that his story was about the same as that of Walsh, and that they had decided to hang together to the end. ~A look for the clerks was fruitless, but it was learned that one of them—Schulze—had con- eluded to leave. the city to-day for another State, and it was also learned that the Com- Tmunists had been around getting the affidavits of the voters of the precinct as to how they voted. with a view to making it warm for every- body connected with making the returns who could be found, They were openly assortin; that they had the proof of the alleged frau and knew the individuals who were guilty of it, and an individual who was taking considerable interest in the case said he would have warrants out for the arrest of all concerned to-morrow morning. What the Council will do with the returns in question remains to beseen. Some of the mem- bers hold that they cannot go back of the re- turns, and tbat McGrath must be counted in; and thon again others contend that the evidence ot fraud is so palpable that the thing to do is to refer the whole matter to a committee for investigation, and leave. Ald. Stauber to hold over until the bottom facts can be rotten at. The Mayor takes the latter view of the situ tion, and thinks it would be unwise to take an; other course, and the probabilities are that this will be the immediate result of the dispute. MOVING-DAY. The Miveries of May. ‘The pains and penalties of moving-day were somewhat assuaged yesterday by the beautiful weather which prevailed. There was consider- able wind and, accompanying it, of course, a nothing compared tothe damp discomforts which make a rainy May 1 one of the disasters dreaded by housekeeping humanity. It was lucky, too, that the weather was favorable as the movings of yesterday were larger in num- ber than ever hefore known in Chicago. Allday long the streets were lined with slow-moving trucks laden with the household gods of thou- sands of flitting families. Just three classes of people were supremely happy yesterday,—the people who did not move, the landlords, and the teamsters. The non-movers reveled in the con- sciousness of an absence of the miseries which the movers were inepen sight sutfering; the landlords felicitated themselves upon having rented their premises at a considerable advance on last year's figures; and the teamsters, ena- to charge their own prices were elevated upon a pinnacle of joy. inspite of certain favorable circumstances, the day was not without its sorrows. Disappoiotments caused by unpunctual team- sters, the discovery that the family had not got moved out of the new house, the gradual un- folding uf defects in the premises, the sturtling surprises occusioned by reading the “cut- lease so curelesly signed the night previous, the absence of the square meal, and the minor mishaps of stubborao stovepipes, fractured furniture. lost children, and the thousand other “ moving incidents” which make May-Day miserable, were present yesterday in full force, despite the bright sunlight which made merry all day long. ‘The street-cars bore abundant evidence of the large extent of the intra-mural flitting which occurred yesterday. Hardly a car could be found but had its half- dozen or more of heavily-liden housewives, whose collections of furniture were often of a most amusing nature. One lady on the Randolph line was incumbered with the marble tup of a wash-stand,.three chromos, a caged canary bird, und a coal-oil lamp, while another, moving further south along Cottuge Grove avenue struggled manfully in the attempt toretain possession of a sprinkljg-can, three potted geraniums, a poodle-dog, fgurumpbrellus, amd adozen of oranges, which, beitfg put up with a very skimped allowance of ‘pap#r, displayed a most exasperating tendency to waider down ber Iup and get lost among the feet of her unsym- pathizing fellow-passengers. ‘The most dismal of days must end, however, and ata late hour yesterday evening only a be- lated team here and there bore evidence that the day's moving was not fully achieved. By this time the bulk of the people who had intended tomove had accomplished their purpose and were picnicking in the new house, where. after the demolition of some cold victuals and lukewarm tea, sorved on the top of the most available Saratoga. the heads of the house were able to draw along breath and look with dismay at the scene of confusion before them. Only the children of the movers find real pleasure in the day. To them the most unto- ward events connected with the operation are full of pleasure, and the pleasures which they experience in investigating the nooks and cor- ners of the new houge are very great. No mat- ter bow enrefully the outgoing family gather up their effects, they are sure to leave si en of regard to .the incoming Fo send When those are dis+ covered the children of the latter dy their joy fe unbounded. A_ young couple who moved into a very pretty cottage on West Ran- dolpn street were supplied with o delightful | surprise by their only and much-beloved child, a pretty but curious miss of 5, whose researches among the corners and cupboards of the new premises were carried to the verge af impudent investigation. From the innermost recessof & darksome clothes-press the-fond father heard his darling rr, “Oh, tum, papa, an’ see the nice, pooty card I found!”- The fond parent begwed the child to bring {t to him, and the domestic tableau can be imagined when the parents’ eyes fell upon the lurid glare of a pasteboard, from the middle of whose vivid coloring, glared the horrible words: * Scarlet fever bere.” This was, perhans, the most exasperating of yesterday's terrible experiences. A NEWS BUREAU, Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. STERLING, DL, May 1.—A number of newspa- per men of this county, together with the cor- respondents of the Chicago papers, have recent- ly organized the Northwestern IJilinois News Bureau. The abject of this Bureau will be to collect news from as many sources as possible for the mutual use of its members. - The head- quarters of the Bureau will be in this city for by President W. X.

Our .Schoolma’ams Better Paid than Women in = Other Fields of Labor. Their Short Hours, Long Racesses, and Wasted Machine Work. There was published in Monday's TripuxE a table giving the comparative ealuries received by school-teachers in this and other cities, the figures thus given tending to show that the teachera of Chicago were underpaid as com- pared with those of other places. The Infer- ence which the reader would perhaps draw from these figures, which came from the Board of Education, was that injustice had been done to that class of city employés, and that their wages had been cutdown from time to time, so that they were not receiving fair compensation for the work which they did as compared with other employés of the city, or people working In other fields of labor. Any, such inference, however, as that would be incorrect. It is doubtless true, as the figures show, that the wages of the school-teuchers of this city, the Principals excepted, are lower than in other places. It is claimed that the teachers generally have been unjustly discrim- inated against for the benefit of the Principuls and of the Superintendent; that, while the pay of the higher-priced ones has been reduced but 6 per cent or so, the remuneration of the file has been cut down to the starvation point. But the real question is not whether teachers are paid lesshere than they are in New York orSan Francisco, but whether they receive for the quulity of work they. perform pay equal to or greater than wages recelved by women— for these teachers are all women—engaged in other employments. There is also another qvestion to be considered, and that is whether the work which the Chicago school-teachers do {5 PERFORMED AS IT SHOULD BE. * There {s no doubt as tothe responsible and on- erous duties of u true school-texcher. It is her business to tuke from fifty to 100 children in the developing and forming era of life to study the individualities, peculiurities, and weaknesses of euch one, to help each one where it is weakest, and to treat all, not as machines to be mana; in accordance’ with certain printed rules, but as livin; beings, each differing from the other and eac! uiring to be treated in a’ dif- ferent manner. Where this is done the pay which the school-teachers of Chicago receive is not excessive. Where that is not done, and where school teaching becomes a mere matter of compuny drill, where all the scholars must advance with equal pace, where ull are in- formed alike and4utored and drilled alike, their pay isnot too low. The latter, unfortunately, is the case in Chicago. The instruction given as a general thing in the primury schools of this city is a specimen of bad muchine work, Under the operation of a system of routine, which bas begun at the head and worked downward, the schools of Chicago have be- come institutions where a child may possibly, if strong-minded enough to resist the influen learn something; but where those who need}t! special care and aid of a teacher can never by any possibility learn anything. They have be- come schools where CHILDREN ARE NOT TAUGHT TO READ, WRITE, SPELL, cr cipher with any degree of thoroughness. The primary schools, the ones in which the bulk of the children of this city get all the schooling they ever get, have become little better than soldiers’ barracks, where drill sergeants in petti- coats carry: out certain prescribed rules in a mechanical, machine-like manner. The work being done in this way, is the pay too small? : ‘The average pay of the teachers, according to the figuring of the Board -of Education, is $575 per, year. There are in each year 200 school days. uring each of these the teacher is nect rily employed five hours per day,—from 9 to 12 and from 1till3. This make total of about 1,000 hours of work per year. The teacher, then, in the Chicago public schools RECEIVES FOR-EACH OF HER WORKING-DAYS of five hours €2.8744. Is there any other business inthis city where women are employed on a large scale where the wages are anything like as high as that? The many women who are em- ployed as clerks in the -retail stores of this city do not work for any five hours per day for 2” days, but they work cightor ten hours per day for over uw days inthe year. Their wages are consid- ered high if they exceed $250a year. The labor which they perform is not as high, is not as ex- hausting, as that of the genuine school-tcacher, but it is higber and more laborious than the work of theaverage Chicago school-teacher. Tobe per- etuully on ote's feet from sunrise to sunset, to e teased and badgered by customers, to be sell- ing goods and making out the proper tickets, is as burdensome as to run a platoon. a company, ora regimentof children after the fashion of the Chicago schools. 1t will be seen that sot merely do these teach- ers, a large numberof whom ure raw girls fresh from the Normal or from the High School, ut- terly unversed in tho true art of teaching, re- ceive nearly twice as much & year as their more unfortunate sisters who ‘work in shops, and offi- ces, and stores, but that ‘THEIR LABORS ARE LIGHTENED AND SWEET: 3 ENED by long summer vacations, by intermissions at Christmas, by holidays at_ moving time, and by various other let-ups and recesses which are un- known tothe other toilersof theirsex It is true that the Board of Education has held that it bas a valid claim on the services of the teachers during tho long summer vacation of ten: weeks, but it hus never enforced it; and any such claim on its part, if made now, would be rescinded by the teachers with indignation. They have these ten weeks in which to recuper- ate themselves from toil, or in which to engage in other business if they pleare. a Asa matter of fact, the average school-teacher in this city DOES NOT LOOK UPON TEACHING as the end ‘and aim of ber hife. It is with ber simply a makeshift. It is something which is to provide her with a living until she cau get married. It is a husband wh? is the end and aim of her existence, Not that she hunts for but in ber heart of hearts “she regards school teaching as 2 mere temporary expedient, and she {fs confident that, some time or othor, she will settle down as the head of a household. There are few who, when engnged in an employment which they rent as-merely temporary, bring to It that wholeness and thoroughness which people are apt to put into something which is to be their Nife-work. And it is very naturnl, there- fore, that the terchers of Chicago should adapt themscives with great ense to a sytem of routine which frecs them from nine-tenths of the work of tenching. And, being thus freed from the labor of the business they have undertaken, they must not grumble if the wages which they re- ceive are lowered, especially when, even though cut down, thoy are not reduced as low as those which are received by women working in other employments. ting is compared with .the pay of men working eight or even ten hours a day, it will be found that the women on the whole have the best of it. They are at liberty to grumble as much as they please at any par- tiality shown among teachers themselves,—to scold because one gets far more than another, or because the Superintendent's pay is not cut down and theirs is,—but they have no right to say that they are underpaid in comparison with the thousands of toilers who work out of doors or indoors, day in and day out, from sunrise to sunset, through the long wearying year, for they are not. = SERIOUS ACCIDENT. Officer William A. Parker, of the West Madi- son Street Station, met with anaccident last evening which, if it does not result in the en- tire use of his left arm, will maim it for life. At 0:45, as he was getting off a Blue Island avenue car directly“in front of the station, he was run down by a borse and buggy owned and driven by some person as yet unknown. The buggy was going west on the tracks at a furious rate of speed, the driver evidently wishing to catch up to a street-car some distance abead of him, and the officer, not seeing nor bearing it approaching. fell directly beneath the horsteteet. ‘there were in the buggy a man and two women, some say two men, but this could hardly be true, for the buggy is of the ordinary size. The accident was witnessed by a number of people in the neizhborhood, and some ane at once notified the police in the station. Some ran to Parker's assistance, and others ran after the buggy to capture the driver, who was not manifesting any anxiety as to what damage he had done, but, on the contrary, was trying to get away us fastas possible. Finding his horse unmanageable, the fellow Jumped from the buggy, snd, running west alone Madi- son. street... to. Hulsted, was lost "in the crowd. His identity is unknown. The women were, however, arrested, and the horse and buggy were taken to the stution. Both were very indepeodent, and saucily re- fused to give the police any information what- soever regarding their male companion. The Police Department were to suffer all sorts ‘of ‘penalties for the indignity of locking up two poor defenseléss women.

The Sly Old Fox of New York Bellevea to Be on the Inside—How All Things Work Together for Mis Political Profit-Holding the Helpless Dee mocracy In His Horny-Handed Grasp. Dispitch to Cinctnnatt Enqutrer (Dem), New York, April 29.—The State Conventions held yesterday produced in both parties a cooling, not to say depressing, Influence. The city Democrats feared that Tilden had won a victory in both Pennsylvania and Connecticut, which they deplored as probably shutting this State out if continued. The Republicans all bailed the Democratic Conventions as Tilden victories, and began to praise the old man's pluck and perseverance while discouraged at the palpable personal divisions in his qwn party. Ohio turning its back on Grant was regarded as general concession there that he could not carry the State, and this embittered the Grant men against Sherman, who was accused through his influence of threatening the party itself in order to take the State. It is the general belief here that Wallace has been beaten iu Pennsyl- vantia, and received a humiliation by the setting in of his party's sentiment toward Tilden, who guletly capturc the silent, professional, ultra- respectable Democrats like Vaux and Clymer, and through them gained the better earof the party. Pennsylvania Democrats carry one idea at a time—as in 1872, when thoy refused to take Greeley as a Democrat, und now believe the fraud of 1876 ought to be righted. Wallace could not finda Presidential candidate equal to Til- den us the possessor of a fixed, visible grievance, such as would go to the hearts of the old Dutch voters in Berks and the banner Ger- mun counties. He tried Hancock late in the day, but Hancock bas so little recent connec- tion with Pennsylvania, and bas been so unag- gressive and silent that he did not take with the country Democrats like Tilden, who had one idea, and had put it forward at the New York Convention as the solitary point and keynote of the cumpaign. The old Hunker Dutch Democrats, as I have remarked, have never had a candidate just to thelr likthg since Andrew Jackson, who was elected the first time on the idea that he bad been cheuted by a .barguin between Clay and Adams, and the second time by attacking the bank and corruption. Tilden, with bis shrewd study of the diferent Commonwealths, saw that the Pennsylvania temperament would warm to his one plank of having been cheated, and that it was the purt of honest Dutchmen to wipe out the cheat tirst of all. Although that opinion bas been much modified among New York Demo- crats, the Pennsylvanians bad not been reading New York Democratic poiitics with the knowl- edve of men and detuils here prevailing. For the list month or two the prosecutions of Bill Kemble and the bribing legislators in Pennsylvania had engaged universal attention there, while they were not much considered in New York. In that short period, between the escape of Kemble and his fellows from the Court at Harrisburg and their return and sentence, Tilden threw in nis Syracuse Convention, and had its unwilling delegates adopt an address Presenting hin and the party as the victims of similar bribery, mendacity, and crime. The effect on Pennsylvania bad set in when the Har riaburg Convention met; and among the intlu- ences there operating against Walluce was the charge that he bad been an allyof the Cam- erons, and ‘nad derived aid and comfort from Kemble and the other dishonest State Treasur- ers of Penusylvania. ‘his charge wis made by Speaker Rendall at the time Wallace was elected to the Senate, and an investigation demanded. Kemble, Mackey, and other State ‘Treasurers had kept large balances, amounting to millions, and let itout at low interest to such banks as were controiled by their friends in both parties. ‘The ussumption was mnade by Randall, when op- posing Walluce for the Senate, that ‘Wallnce's inks or banking friends got ashare of these deposits. The Pennsylvania press of both par~ ties had assisted to turn public indigaation against Kemble. and the rigorous sentence passed on him by Judge Pierson met the hot ap- proval of the whole State. Therefore, when Senator Wallace came for- ward with a mere soldier as his choice—Gen. Hancock, whose acts of merit happened many years ago—instead of takipg up Bayard, who was preferred by the leading anti-Tilden men, or Instead of Hendricks, who wus educated and studied law in Pennsylvania, he was unfortu- nate both in his candidute and himself. If Pennsylvania does not to-night present Han- cock's name to the country he may be consid- ered as next to out of the race. Thore, if any- where, he was fo receive an unqualified indorse- ment. The anti-railroad plank putin the Pennsyl- vania plattorm, which is_also derived from the Kemble excitement,—as Kemble's scheme was to recompense the Pennsylvania Railroad,—may be considered an attack on Jewett, Judge Field, erhaps, Payne, who are railroad men, though it ought logically to bear even more severely on ‘Tilden, who bas been the prolific futher of railroad compensations. A part of its animus is the jealousy of the, Pennsylvania farmers against the discriminating railroad freights, which put Western wheat at the sea- ports chenper than Pennsylvania wheat. Thus, whether by design or lucky coincidence, Tilden has made use of the immediate issues around him,—those closest to ourselves, the issues found in the daily newspnpers,—and hns made up for his moral weakness in New York by his ag- gressions in Pennsylvania and the firmness of Connecticut. ‘The usual exclamation that follows success is made about Tilden’s ability to-night. He has organized the younger men of the Democratic party in the East, and added to them many old ‘ald respectable men who were forced out of political availability by their opposition to the War. The old Pennsylvania and Connecticut Bourbons, reinforced by young professional aspirants for office of emo- cratic families, and by some Liberal Republic- ans, like David A. Wells, of Connecticut, make an aggressive ly, Which exclaims as much against the low status of theirown purty as of the excesses of the Republictns. While the cry is not “Tilden and reform,” the meaning is just that. Tilden bas, in bis conversations with visiting Democrats of education and address. instructed them that the long decay of their party has arisen from trading with Republicans, and tak- ing the lesser share of the spoils thankfully. He bas made the same charge against the Southern Democratic leaders, including Bayard and Thur- man, for having let the Republicans take the Presidency in order that they should get a part of the patronage, and rule out bim as a formida- bile Democratic competitor. Some of these things. perhaps, only appear to be so; but the general coincidence of them must be greatly to ‘Tilden’s profit. Yesterday's work certainly ad- vanced his standard ia New York conversation. = IS CHANCE SUPREME? If once there stood a chaos flood, ‘And time coursed not diurnally, And beam of light from boundless night Was ordered not supernully, And then, because no life pulse was Or heuri chat throbbed paternally, | Did Chance ordain that suck do! Should not exist eternally? So then devise the vaulted skies, And draft the heavenly canopy With diadems df glittering gems ‘Yo sparkle in its panoply? Drape the clouds with vapory shiouds To wave in matebless majesty, And string the lyre of Nature's choir ‘To chant its hullowed minstrelsy? Wield the power in that same hour To reach throughout infinity, And hold in place through boundless space ‘The wonders that have entity? Command and cause all Nature's laws ‘To blend in perfect harmony, With all to chime through endless time Like sweet and sacred psalmody? If_we reflect, do we expect ‘That Chance will shape our destiny, Leaving a pall thrown over all ‘Of dismal coubt and mystery? Does smiling Spring no tidings bring With all its gorgeous pageantry, Or Winter bicuk no language speak Like that of a Divinity? * While moments climb the mount of time, And onward roll successively, Does Chance control the human goul And guide it on progressively? Hath Chance designed man’s glorious mind, With all of its renlity, And bade'it fly to realms on high ‘To claim its immortality? Did Chance design the flowering vine, And shhdes of night and morning, With ail the scene that lies between, To give such blest udurning? O Chance, avaunt! thou spectre gaunt! Away with such temerity! For thou hast not a shadow.got Of any kind of verity. Dr. D. Awprose Davis. Gold Discoveries in Wisconsin. = Mitwaukee Wisconsin.

Robert Lenox, in his will, said: “I give, devise, and bequeath to my son, my only son, James Lenox, my farm the fite-mile | stone, purchased in part from the corporation of the City of New York, and containing about thirty acres, with all improvements, stock of horses, cattle, and farming uvensils, for and during the term of his life, und after his death to his heirs forever. My motive for so leaving this property is a firm persuasion that it may at no distant date be the site of a village, and as it cost me much more than its present worth from circum stances known to my family, 1 like to cherish the belief it may be realized to them.

Butler, of Bloomington, arrived in this city yes- terday morning, having in charge a man whom they claim fs Patrick Devine, but the man him- self claims that he is not Devine, but plain ‘Thomas Coyne. The prisoner was arrested some three weeks ago at De Bruce, Sullivan County, N. Y., upon a telegram charging him with tho murder of Aaron Goodfellow in Bloomington on the night of Aug. 9, 1879. Goodfellow, while on his way home from a croquet party, was mis- taken by two Highwaymen for an express mes- yenger who was in the habit of carrying with him a large sum of money, and upon offer- ing resistance was shot’ twice by his assailants, from the effects of which he died during the night. Two notorieties in the criminal line, Hank Willisms and Patsy Devine, were in town four days prior to the murder, and disappeared the night it occurred. For this and sundry other reusons known only to the men who have been endeavoring to work out the case, Williams and Devine were set down as the murderers. The evidence against the for- mer is said to be of the most positive character. Devine was lodged at the Armory, his keepers desiring to remain several ‘days in this city on business before going home. He is a young man about 28 years of age, a little rough and hard Joking, but cleanly and passably well dressed. His mother and sistor do not live at Alton, as the police assert, but in Edinburg, Scotland. and his name is not Devine, butCoyne. It is his opinion that the officers are bringing him on forthe eof securing the reward offered for the apprehension of the murderer, and also the mile- age allowed by the State In all such transactions. fe denies ever having associated with “crooks,” but always worked for his living, mostly on farms. He never was further West than Penn- sylvania, never saw Officer Challicombe, who retends to identify bim as Devine, and never Enew of the murder until after he was arrested and locked up, and written up by the newspa- papers, Neither was he ever in St. Louis, where the police say Patsy Devine lived and made his criminal record: Allin all, there seems to be considerable doubt as to whether the prisoner is Devine or somebody else, and, even though he should prove to be Devine, the evidence is cir- cumstantial, and of the poorest quality. SHOOTING AFFRAY. Edward Finley, a youug colored ruffian, yester- day attempted to shoot Julla Larkin, alias Waters, the wife of tne notorious Tim Larkin, who was recently awarded five years in the Penitentiary for an assault upon Officer Galla- gher. The affray took place ina den at No. 92 School street kept by Mrs. Larkin, and was caused by whisky and jealousy. The weapon used by Finley wasa smul! seven-shooter, and the bullet tired at her just passed her head as she dodged behind the stove. Finley was ar- rested by Officer Edward Ryan. THE JUSTICES. ‘Thomas Williams, the burglar caupht yester- day in the house of Mra. Asa Wilcox, of No. 1074 Prairie avenue, was yesterduy held by Jus- tice Wallace in $1,000 to the Criminal Court. August Gerringer. the publisher of Stornost, eharged with criminal libel by Ald.

William K. McElhose, 2 man about 50 years of office at the corner of Thircy-lfth street and Indiana avenue, was arrested early yesterday morning upon a charge preferred by Mr. P. A. Bodan, of No. 3539 Michigan avenue, and a haif- dozen other families residing in the neighbor- hood. It is alleged that he bas made a practice of enticing girls from 9 to 12 years of age into the coal-otfice, where he took improper liberties with them. SfcElhose is a married man, and has a wife and family living at No. 63 Alexander street. Yesterday afternoon before Justice Wallacoa tew of the many witnesses in the case, who made out a rather strong case against him, were listened to, and the case then went over to Monduy in order to get other witnesses to appear egainst him.

Shortallin the chair. The Secretary, Mr. A. W. Landon, read a long Ust of contributors during the past year, and upon motion of Mr. D. B. Fisk they were elected active members of the Society. Mr. Edwin Lee Brown presented the following list of names, and moved that they be elected honorary members: Henry Bergh, of New York City; George T. Angell, of Boston: R. P. Derick- son, B. F. Culver, Mrs. Mancel Talcott, and Mrs. Nanoy Foster. of Chicago. It was so ordel the name of Mr. Brown being added to the list. Mr. H.C. Goodrich, Treasurer, presented his annual report, showing the receipts to have been rons} expenditures, $2,221; balance on 0 os hand, $70, SECRETARY'S REPORT. Mr. Albert W. Landon then presented and read hisannual report. Init he fetere to the growing prospertt of the Society and the in- crease In the number of friends which the So- ciety is continually making. The officers and agents were mentioned and commended for their help and faithful attention to the interests of the Society. The following cases had been investigated and disposed of by the Society, but the list did not present a full record of’ the work of its otticers and agents, whoso efforts. were directed more towards the preven- tion of cruclty in all its forms than invariably to prosecution and exposure. Number of cases investigated, 1,551; os admonished, 1.121; prosecutions, 34; convice ons, 194; horses taken from work, 127; cattle Watered, 3,650; animals fed at owner's expense, 880; condemned horses killed, 100; condemned eattle killed, 37; condemned sheep killed, 50; condemned calves killed, 33; children rescued, 37; children surrendered by the Court, 20; chil- dren taken from the street, 17. The sermon of Prof. Swing on the subject of Humanity, delivered in October last, has been rinted in pamphiet form, and 10,000 copies had n circulated, meeting with great favor among the reading, thinking. people. Reference was mude to the efforts to break up attempts of dog and chicken fighters to carry on their cruel practices. which efforts had been crowned with success. The generosity of contributors was thankfully acknowledged, and a promise made that the efforts of the Society would not decrease, in the noble work of preventing cruel- ty to animals. ey MR. JOHN G. SHORTALL, : President, read bis annual address. The matter first in importance, and much to be regretted, was the consideration of the attitude of the Governor of the State toward the work in their- charge. Mfr. A. Marquart, who was now State Agent, received a severe castigation for his in- eficiency and apparent fect indifference to the objects of the lety. Gov. Cul- {om's refusal to remove quart was termed a reproach upon the Society and State, and the hope was expressed that he will satisty himself that the duties of the State Agent were not being rightly performed. Attention was called to the necessity for the organization of a branch of the Society, which should assume exclusively the protection of children from cruelty. le recent action of the packers and provision dealers of Chicago in assisting the Society in stopping brutality atthe Stock-Yards was referred to as a great move in the right direction. A vote of thanks was tendered to Mr. Joseph Wright, who bas acted as counsel and attorney for the Society during the past four years with- out compensation, and a like vote was tendered the Bropeittors of the Grand Pacific Hotel for many kindly offices. President Shortall stated that commencing next Monday the Society would bave at work THREE SPECIAL AGENTS, whose business it would be to see that the tenor . of the recent joint circular of the packers and railway officials was rigidly enforced in the‘in- terest of humanity. He also referred to the urgent necessity of organizing a branch societ for the prevention of cruelty to children, ani desired to interest the ludies in the formation of such an institution. Several short speeches were made by atle~ men present, wherein the harmonizing influences of the Society were referred to as being felt throughout tne land. Mr. John C. Dore said that never in his expe- rience bad he geen anything to compare with the wtb of the Socicty, which had surprised its tiends by at lust bringing {nto the work the welgut and Influence of the puckers und dealers at the Union Stork-Yards, who, but a few years ago, Were not particularly friendly towards the Soctety. He said that Gov. Cullom's action in persistently: keeping in position the present tate Agent was beyond his comprehension, but. be hoped the gentleman would at least show some deference to the wishes of the Soicety and remove Marquart, whom he referred to as utterly incompetent.
