P. J. Sexton submitted a bill for iron used in the new Conurt-House in 187. He could not state to what particular use the froa was put, yet the Committee au- thorized the payment of $12,087, upon the testi- mony of Architect Eugan,who indorsed Sexton's claim. Thomas O'Brien, the contractor for the plastering work, was allowed $2,000 for extra seuffolding, the money to be paid him when his contract 18 completed.

Tar forthcoming annual report of the Coun- ty Agent, which will be ready in a few days—the year ending Tuesday,—will pre- went’ a ~ most favorable "’ showing, treditable alike to tho County Bonrd and the Avent. It will show # decrease inthe ex- penditures of his office of about $30,000 over the year 187%, and that the working force has been materially curtailed, and at the sume time muade more effective. The Visitors have been reduced in number, and trom 18,000 fainilies on the Looks and receiving aid in 18:6. the number bas been brought down to less than 800, The Poor-House, too, has received a lurge share of attention, a special agent baving Deen assigned to look atter applicants for ad- mission, the result of which is seen in the fact that there are now fewer inmatesthan for years. The total expenses of the ollice for 1880 will be shown by tho report to bave been about $64,000, against $9,000 for 18¥, $95,00) for 1878, $231,750 Tor 1877, and $174,558 for 1876. From these figures it is readily deducable that it is only a matter of time when the office can be nearly done away. ‘THE ALEXIAN BROTHERS.

Just before the Introit the clergy, preceded by acolytes, went to the parlor and escorted the postulants ‘to the sanctuary, where they knelt, each bearing a taper andacrucitix. The cele- brant then intoned the first verse of the * Veni Sancte spiritus,” followed by the choir~. 3a was then said until the close of the Gospel, when toe celebrant found the postulants and asked each in turn what he sought. The postu- lunts replied thas they desired to be received and vested with the habit as novices of the Alexian Brothers, and tried in the practice of Christian virtues, and in the statutes and ob- servance of the Order. ‘Then the Brothers who were to take temporary ‘or perpetual vows significd their desire to do so. The habits were then bl , sprinkled wit holy water, and put upon euch, the novices re- celving the .cassock, and the professed the scapular and cal 1, Or hood. Father F. W.

One Crowne, a hackmin, some time ago began to use 2 part of the back vard of the Home as an approach to his stable. When remonstrated with by Mrs. schock, he is snid to buve abused that lady, and since that time has been a terror to every one in the insti- tution. Mrs. Schock tinaily consulted an attorney, and secured an injunction in the Superior Court restraining Crowne trom longer using the driveway. ~Yesterduy the lady hired a carpenter and made an effort to close up the gup through which the belligerent backmen bad. driven his teams, The carpenter was frightened away by mob of women und boys. Mrs. Schock’ ap- plied at the Madison Street Station for assist- ince, and will again attempt to put up the fence. Crowne, it is alleged, treats the injunction with contempt, and ‘is eppirently assisted yo 8 ng. of young — hoodlums, who do his bidding. and continually insult not only Mrs. Schock, but every respectable persun in the neighborhood.

With the charges coming from both sides the fellows are having a hurd time. A GENTLEMAN in Omaha, thinking that the Mayor had gone into the mastodon business, yesterday offered to sell him # choice collection of bones for $250. MeNicnots & Sons will to-day commence the building of a nine-foot sewer along Leavitt street, from Blue Island avenue to Twenty-sec- ond street. This will be the longest sewer in the city. and it isa part of a system of sewers con- templated for the West Division which will con- nect the North and South Branches of the river.

PEEVEY and the Mayor bad quitea dis- pute yesterday on the question of the use of cobblestone fur paving. The Alderman suys bis constituents are oppused. to cobblestone, and demanded that his Houvr sbould prevent the use of such material for paving. On the other hand, the Mayor is in favor of cobblestone, and wants the public educated to favor its use. So they were justas far apart_as possible. The whole question is before the Council, and will, it is thought, be acted upon to-morrow evenin Some further evidence was taken in the Stauber-McGrath contest yesterday, the base of operations having been transferred to the Anmoug the witnesses examined was the ‘k, who testitied to whut the returns of election showed, und othe! titied as to how the election lad been conducted, but nothing new was elicited.

It would be well forall parties who have made their own improvements, where special assessments have been made, to call at the County Treasurer's office and pay the bal- ance due for costs incurred by the city, other- wise their lots may be sold for these small amounts. 3 e Tue Committee on Health and County Rela- tions met yesterday afternoon, and a delegation from the Labor League was present to muke suggestions ubout the proposed amendments to the workshop urdinunce. They presented the draft of an ordinance embracing the amend- ments to the old ordinance suggested by Ald. Wickersham a few weeks ago, and it was re- solved to send it to the Law Department to be rearranged and put in shape. ‘The delegation had an audience afterwards with Dr. Ve Wolf, and were shown what the Workshop Inspectors bad been doing, and they expressed themselves as well pleased. ‘ A LAW QUESTION OF SOME INTEREST. ‘The Clerk of the West Side Police Court raised anice question of law ay, and one which may involve the city in some trouble in the fut- ure, and cause it to refund considerable of its earnings for a few years past. It appears that the Humane Society bas been bringing all of its suits under the State statutes rather thun the city ordinances, and that the police clerks have heen turning the tines over to the city. The Clerk in question, however, takes the view that he is required, under the statutes, to turn the fines over to the Superintendent of Schools. and, until the matter is settled, refuses to follow in the footsteps of his predesessors. He bas Jaid the question before the Law Department, and hus been verbally assured that his position c was right, and if a further examination into tha law confirms. ibis ovin- ion, the city’ will have — considerable money to refund. and in the future an effort will be made to bave the Humane Society con- Guct ah or as Labtner nin under the city ordi- Sy een t thi: " por abibe eaten is source of revenue r oe ALD. M'GRATH. it was stated yesterday that Ald. McG: not introduced at the lust Council ecto a resolution calliug for informauon ‘about gum- blers and gambling-houses which it was reported he intended offering. It uppears that had the Alderman so desired. he could not have intro- duced it Mondsy, much as that order of business was not hed. Moreover, he bes never authorized thestatement that he intended offering such a resolution, and any person, who bas sought to make anything out of gamblers or others on the strength of any report that he was going to do is no real friend of the Alderman’s. It is under- stood that he is intensely opposed to gamblers and their present way of doing business in this city, and that, feeling as he does, it is not im- possible that he may introduce a resolution on the subject, anon) he hng not yet expressed himself in the matter.

Small-pox took a fresh start yesterday, five new cases being reported in the city. Three of them were fouud at No. 115 Fisk street, and the other two strolled into the Heulth-Office. At the number given, it appears thut the disense has prevailed for some time, and that in tho past six weeks there have been three cases there besides those given, and that one of them proved fatal. Tho new cases are tho outgrowth of the old ones, us a mutter of course, and the indications ere that the infec- tion came from the Town of Luke, and that tho disease was originally introduced by emigrants who havo been employed at the Stock-Yards, and who, it is thought, are thereabouts now. One of the eases which came to the Health Of- fice. was from Breslin’s bourding-house on For- ty-seventh street, und the other was. from Payne's livery-stable, Wabush avenue. | ‘The tirst min was nuned Michael Kirby, and his story to areporter was that he went yesterday morn~ ing to the ‘Town-Hall of the Town of inke inquiring for a hospital, and on making Known his_ trouble was put adrift. the ‘Town-Hall he came to the city on the street curs and reported to the Madison Street Station.and from thence be was directed to the Healt Office, which he reached by walking through the street. The other unfortunate gave his name as Jumes Kaue, and his story wus that he bad been living in the Town of Lake up to two weeks ago, wen he came to the city and got employment at the iivery stable in question. Tic suys that he had been feeling bad for over 2 week, but up to Monday ke was at work, since which time he hud been sleepiug in the stuble- luft, and been waited upon by his fel- low-employés, they not knowing what was the matter with him. Kirby's case is very severe, but Kune hus the disease in x mild forin, Allot the eases were taken to the Sunall- Pox Hospital during the day, and hist evening the yaccinators and fumigators were busy, Dr. De Wolf is fearful ‘that the disease will spread, inusmuch as it is less under control ‘now than it ever bas been, all owing to the negli- gence and recklesness of the authorities of the ‘frown of Lake in allowing the infected to expose themselves and mingle. with the public. He is indignant at the idea of Kirby's being sent to tue city, and also at the way be was treated by the police authorities. ufter getting here. instead of his befug sent away from the Town- Hall as be was, and allowed to mingle with the public and scatter the dise: he should have been held, and instead of bis being put into the street by the police authorities be should have been held until the Health Officers could have gotten huld of him. In the cuse of Kane there is not so much to complain of, but the Doctor is very uncomfortable over the fact that be walked froin the stable to his office, coming in contact with many individuals, and - very probably spreading the disease. He. will take every precaution, however, to protect the pub- lic, and go far us the city’s cases ure concerned he bas no tears; but he is fearful for the Town of Lake. and the spread of the malady from that point, especially since the authorities there ure giving the disezse so little attention, He thinks that they should establish a hospital at once, employ physicinns, ete., and that if they do not take some such steps the worst is to come, Uecuuse the disense is entirely beyond control in its present shupe, THE UNDERWRITERS. THE ELEVENTH ANNUAL MEETING of the Fire Underwriters’ Association of the Northwest will be held at the Grand Pacific Hotel Sept. 8 and 9, the first session opening ut 10 o'clock sharp on the morning of the 8th. Tho meeting promises to be of unusual interest, not only to the members themselves but to the fire- insurance fraternity in general. Many questions of practical interest have been submitted for discussion during the seasions, and will no doubt call out the opinions of some of the most ex- perienced men in the business. Specinl interest uttaches to the regular contributions to be read berore the Association, prominent among which will be the ‘fidings from England,” by Mr. Cornelius Walford, of Lon- don, the noted insurance writer and publicist. Two prizes were oifered at the lust annual mecting—one by Mr. Alfred G. Buker, President of the Franklin Fire-Insurance Com- pany, of Philadelphia, und the other by the Chi- cago managers of the several companies—for the best essuys on topics of practical interest to the underwriting profession, and the competi- tion which hus set in will give additional zest to the proceedings. A lurge number of essays have been submitted and ure now under the con- sideration of the various committees, and the result of the award will be awaited with no smull degree of interest. The several State Lnsurance Superintendents, whose own meeting occurs here on the lutt haye been invited and are expected to be pri ent.

GRAND OPERA-TOUSE. CHANGYS IN THE BUILDING. This structure, formerly known as Hamlin’s Theatre, will be thrown open to the public about Sept. 6. The changes made for its owner, Mr. William Borden, under the supervision of Architect Adler, have been so radical as tu al- most produce an entirely new building. New walls have been built on the south and east, the north wall has been strengthened by enormous buttresses, the entire ceiling and roof, and al- most all the interior purcitions, us well as most of the floors and all the stairs, have been taken out and reptaced by new work, all of the most rich and solid description. _ Until now all nas been chaos and confusion within the walls of the theatre; and even yct the efforts of the reporter in quest of informa- tion are attended with a degree of difliculty. ‘The first fmprovement is noticed even before entering, in,the removal of the old, ugly iron step and'the leveling und widening of the sid walk arising therefrom. The muin entrance hull has been entirely replastered, and {3 no being provided with a new tloor of encaustic ties and a wainscot of polished marble of va- rious colors. The foyer, clevated a few steps above the ves: tibule, is almost completed. The grand stair- cuse, its matin feature, is a most eluborute and eleyant structure. The alcove, though not quite completed and still devoid of the fireplace which is to adorn it, promises to have a churm- ing effect. The mirrors, which are to cover tho entire north wall of the foyer, will not be placed in position till tho latter part of tho week. They will be so located us to reflect the eultire foyer and the grand staircase. The auditorium has been: enlar; ‘by the re- moval of partitions which formerly inclosed it and by the demolition of a number of siceping- ruoms, also by the addition of a second gailery, so that itis now one of the largest in the city. ‘The pillars, beums, arches, and trusses. which now furnish the support formerly given by the Partitions. as also the buttresses with which the Walls have'becno strengtheacd, have all been ism,” Hf Flouring Mills," From | and produce many original and effective combi- nations of forms and color. ‘The most note- worthy feature of the theatre will probubly be found in the treatment of the proscenium boxes, which are altogether novel and unique. They are almost completed, wanting, only their final coloring nn the . mirrors, which are to l the enst wall of cach. 'Yhough still somewhat obscured by scaffolding, the harmony uf the arebitectural composition formed by the boxes and the proscenium nrch, and their connection with tho sounding-bonrd above them, blending with and supporting the domical ceiling, is nlready apparent, There Is an abundance of stairways to the galleries—six is all—and a corresponding number of exit joors. : ‘A visit to the cellar showed the boiler-roont in a court entirely outside the building, a huge fan, and n hebyrioth of ulr-ducts intended to convey fresh air to every part of the auditorium.

C, T. 0. CurcaGo, Aug. 28.—Having learned that, at the recent “Triennial Conclave" of the Knights Templar held in our city, the Indies of Chicago who tented upon the eump-ground and there received and entertuined their guests by the thousands, without a single exception refrained from offering wine or any other intoxicant to these guests, the members of the Woman's Christian ‘Temperance Union wish to express thelr glad appreciution of this uct of true hos- pitulity. Every one who wishes to see the practice of total abstinence pervade all clnsses of socicty will proudly rejoice at the stand taken by these ladies, the ‘influence of which will be as wide- sprend as the boundaries of our brond land. And is it too much to predict for the onward march of temperance to say that at the neat ‘Triennial to be held ut San Francisco, the ladies of that city, following the example set them here, shall banish from their refresnment tables even their famous native wines, which, how- ever “pure,” have lurking in their sparkling depths that subtle poison so dangerous to all, and so fatal to many who drink of them?

This lona- established ‘and worthy institution, which inmany important particulars differs from most business jesed, is unquestionably superior to any school of its kind in the country. In the first place, the proprieto Mesérs. Howe & Powers, are both practi teachers, as well as thorough business men, secondly, the school is under, their personal supervision, which the intelligent observer will at once see must be far more productive | of good than the too-much-indulged-in cus~ four of farming out the different de- partments, to teachers whose highest ambition is to draw their salaries. Third- ly, their corps of teachers is made up Of the best possible talent obtainable, and while their system of government is strict, it no means oppressive or arbitrary. The is by ur course of study includes bookkeeping, com- mercial . business arithmetic, English grammar, German, French, Latin, short- hand, ete. In. the ‘Business Exchange the student has actual practice in all branches of > and, While the school does not promise situations, ‘it is nevertheless a fact that this institution’has furnished more bona fide situations to-young men than any other school in the West."

IGNATIUS COLLEGE, on West Twelfth street, is one of the leading edueational institutions of our city. The fact that itis directed by the Jesuits, famed as educators, is sufficient commendation. ‘The course of studies is such as to tmparta thor- ou classical, scientific, and business edu- cation.

They merely put ona pair of blue spectacles and look intellectual, and the sharks light out for deep water. what on truthfulness, to the effect that “nothingenture, nothing have.” Risk is one of the essential elements of fortune; in fact, there is hardly an undertaking worthy of success into which chance does not enter. It is that which gives vim to our enter- ‘There my old saying, and we rely some- prise, and helps to relieve life of | its monotony. It is for this reason, that eculating in options on grain and pro- visions has become so fascinating and so generally poplar among ladies as well as gentlemen, and often the investment of a few dolars results in forming the nucleus of a colussal fortune. On visiting the regular Board of Trade yesterday we missed the faces of a few ladies who were known for their display of nerve, and on inquiry were informed that: they werg now patrons of the “Ladies? Grain and Provision Exchange,” Metropolitan Block, corner Randolph and La Salle streets. We were surprised on vis- iting tne place in finding so. many ladies of high social standing, and the equipments of the room, so complete in all its details, But this was not our greatest surprise, for we found in its management A. W. Nohe, a gen- tleman well known for his business qualiti cations, strict integrity, and moral firmness, with a capital that is ample, and with the as- sistance of Miss M. S. Chapman, a lady who is entitled not only to the name of Indy, but the past success of the institution, all of which should be a sufficient guarantee to thosegvho patronize this “ Exchange? that their Interests will always be protected by a inanager who stands high in the estimation of a speculating public. z A foolish correspondent wants to know if cows should be kept dry in the winter time.

There are pianos and pianos, and some of the inferior imitations of first-class instru- ments would deceive any one but an expert. The ordinary buyer cannot detect the weak points, and the costly instrument may prove worthiess after a few months’ wear. The only safe rule for purchasers, therefore, is to patronize a house whose reputation is a guar- antee of everything they sell. Such a house is that of Pelton, Pomeroy & Cross, at whose ‘ic-rooms, 150 and 152 State street, can be found a display of fine pianos and organs unsurpassed in the West.

In view ot this fact the market is flooded with a host of nauseous | tonies shocking to delicate organizations.
