The ‘Dank promised not to pay it, but, when threat ened bs the proprietor of the bucket-shop that it would be protested, honored the paper. The main object of the suit wasto declare bucket- shops gambling-houses under “the law, the Supreme Court having already held that option deals all in the nature of gambling trans- actions. The case was very fulty argued, and yesterday Judge Loomis gave his decision for the plaintiff, declaring, in brief, that an indorse- menton a draft ona grain wager is. void; that the payment of udraftto the winner after no- tice to the bank from the loser not to pay makes tho bank liable to pay a second time, at the suit of the loser, and so held the bank liable in this case. SCARLET-PEVER. The attention of Dr. De Wolf is called to a fact which he has apparently overlooked, but which must receive attention, as the lives of a large number of children ure in danger. let-fever of the most-virulent type has broken out on La Salle streot, between Thirty-ffth and Thirty-sixth strects.- ‘Three children are already down with it, Before they wero taken sick they mingled with other little ones living on the street. and thelr brothers and sisters now play on the sidewalks with neighbors’ children. In consequence of this more cases will undoubt- edly make their Appearance thereabouts, and the disease is pretty likely to become epidemic unless Dr. De Wolf does something to contine itwithin its present limits. Cards have been ‘put on the dours of the houses in which the sick children are, but more than this shonid be done. ‘The other seventeen children who live in these houses should be kept in doors, and none of the children who live on. the street should be por- mitted to attend the public schools, which open Monday, or the Sunday-schools, until there is 20 likelihood of their spread! the infection. Prompt action on the part of Dr. Do Wout is es- sential or the disease may get beyond his con- A NARROW ESCAPE. Six boys, aged from 12 to 15 years, through their own carelesness met with quite a severe ident on the river at 2:45 yesterduy after- noon. They were in a yawl-bost near State- street bridge, when the tug Babcock came alovg with the schooner Transit in tow. The Jost. control of ° their boat, and ing ‘the abutment of the bridge the boat was crushed against it by one of the schooners. They scrambled upon the schooner to save themselves, but in-doing s0 one of ‘them unmed- Valentine Kanetsky was caught and crushed between the vessel and the -abutment, and another named Louis Pentowski fell backwards into the small boat. Kanetsky fell into the river badly injured, and would have drowned but. for as- sistance rendered by John Murray and Frank. McGinnis, bridge-builders employed on the ‘State-street. structure. Officers. Beaublen and Lueders were culled on to care for the boys, and when they were brought ashore the officers took ‘them to the office of Dr. L H. Montgomery, corner of State and Randolph. streets, wnere their injuries were carctully dressed. Kanetsky had ‘bis right leg badly ‘the muscles being torn 60 badly that the hone was exposed to view. Young Pentowski had his right thigh badly - broken and crushed, _ his left thigh badly bruised, and his left foot mungled. The ductor thinks they will ultimately recover. The boys were thence taken to their homes, Kanetsky to No. 9 Greeley place, and Pentowski to No. 5 North Carpenter 6treet, but, as the parents of both are poor and unable to care for them, thoy were ultimately taken to the County Hospital. The boys who escaped injury are Jeseph Ranctsky, Shabbun Pentowski, Yarsh Rlegi, and Joseph Smiatky. ANDREW PAXTON. Mr. F. F. Elmendorf, President of the Citizens’ League, writes to THE TRIBCNE to complain of an injustice which he claims has been done Mr. Paxton, Arent of the League, in an account of an agsault upon him by a mao named Enright, who had been arrested at the instance of Sr. Paxton for selling liquor to minors. The articie was published ‘on the 23th ult, and gave duc credit’ to’ Mr. Paxton for his indefatigable zeal in prosecuting those who sell ‘liquor. to minors, but said he made himsclf offensive to these Hquor-sellers, which is undoubtedly true, and that he was not a muscular Christian,-which is true also, ak he came out worsted in his en- counter. The latter is probably due to the fact that he had more than one assailant, and thus the odds were against him. Mr. Elmendorf says that Mr. Paxton has prosecuted more than 500 saloonkeepers, three-fourths of whom have been convicted. This is said to be the fftst time iu nearly three years that Mr. Paxton has been assaulted, though he has visited the worst dens after nightfall, and been in the presence of those who would like to sec bim mado away with. Mr. Elmendorf srysof tho case which led to the assault:. A woman calied onone of the West Sido Justices, and suid her husband was a drunkard and spent his earnings for liquor, letting his family suffer. She claimed to have notitied Enright, the saloonkceper, not. tosell her husband tiquor, but Enright ignored her request, and, as she clnimod, defied her to do her worst. ‘The Justice referred the woman to Mr. Paxton, and tua latter, after hearing her story.-and also that her son, 11 years pf age, wasin the habit of buying beer, etc.. in the change, sold re, saloon, caused Enright’s arrest. The cuse came hefore Justice Ingersoll, and Enright was held to answer before the Grand Jury. After the trial, Mr. Paxton started for his home, followed by Enright, who suddenly sprang upou him from bebind and felled him to the eyeune, striking him with his fist and kick- ing him inthe face. Yesterday the case came up before Justice Matson, and Enricht was held to appear before the Grand Jury in bonds of $500 for his attack not only on Bir. Paxton, but on the organization which he represents. The Executive Committee of the League have the ‘utmost confidence in Mr. Paxton, and believe him to be a valuable officer. THE CITY-HALL. ‘Tue Treasurer receiyed $30,000 from the coun ty yesterday. Tne. Mayor was at Laporte, Ind., yesterday, and talked to the unterrified. uD. Meyer has been presented with “star.” ‘These presentations are pretty rough on tho city employés, but they have to stand it. Irwas announced several days ago that the State strect bridge would be open to-day, but the rains have been agalast the workmen, and it is now given out that it will not be open until Tuesday night, and probably Wednesday morn- Carr. McKgze and Mr. Miller, candidates for imprisonment at the Crib, had an examination yesterday to test their fitness for tho oflice they were seeking. They answered the questions propounded satisfactorily, and on this score there was no choice between‘ them. Capt. Mc- Kee, however, has the influence, und is abeud. He will, no doubt, be given the piace to-morrow. ‘TEE advices at the Health Department are to the effect that small-ox in the East is raging to. an alarming extent. Scarcely a day passes but advico is asked as to how to ‘control, it, ard when a_ response is made the advice i3 given to vaccinate freely, and be careful to gather up and separate the in- fected from the public. This advice, if followed ‘will conquer the dread disease. ‘THE Mayor was deluged with invitations yes- terday to speak. One came from Lawrence, Kas, where a county fair is to be held from the 13th to the 1kth; another was from Warren, [1l., where he is wanted to represent the Democracy on the 16th, in a joint discussion; and ‘still ? another was from Amboy, Ll., to speak on the 10th.

SOUND FRUIT, 3 ‘The Health Commissioner went through South ‘Water street in yesterday, expect ing to get off with several loads of rotten frult. He wasvery ral much surprised at what he found, for with the closest inspection be was unable to find any- thing offered for sale that was not marketable. Any quantity of rotton fruit was sold, of coarse, ‘put it was done on the sly, and those who were bitten were the “close” purchasers.—persons who were induced to go npon the inside and se- lect from cheap lots, The inspections, -how- ever, have been of immense benetit, and, since they are tobe made every day, the offermg for sale of rotten fruit promises to soon become the exception rather than the rule. -, MORE NON-KESPECTERS OF LAW. The following owners of factories and were reported yesterday _ as to provide cxte: fire- escapes: Phillips & Liebensteln, 7 to 19Superior strest; Union Brass facturing Company, corner of Ohio and Frank- un streets; Adams & Westlake Company, corner of Ontairo and Franklin streets; Norton - Mills, Madison street bridge: Stephens & Barker, No. 89 Maxwell street: Murray & Baker, No. 40 Canal strect; Star Cresent Mills, Randolph street bridge; Rubb, .Nos. 38° and 40 Clinton street; Diemel Bros., Nos. 882-'4 Canal street; Peter Schuttler, corner Clinton and Monroe; Sugg & Biersdorf, No. 406 South.

No award was made. . pee ; A GREAT QUESTION SETILED. Everybody who has-been or ever expects to to Congress from this section is just now manifesting a wat iuterest in the deepenit and widening of the Illinois & Michigan Cuoal. ‘They are in carnest, of course, from the Mayor down; but bere comes a Mr. Patcher, who set- tlesthe whole question, and at the same time don’t want to go to Congress, or anywhere else. ri fact, he asks no favors of any'kind, and bis greatest and only ambition is to sce his ideas puttoa practical test, He tells the whole atory End gives away his labors of years in the follow= ing letter, which oxplains itself: ‘The Hon.

He joins hands with Mr: Pateber most enthusiastically in his ideas of utilizing gas, and there is scarce a doubt but the Mayor will be with him. OBITUARY. : “DEATH OF WILLIAM H. SCHIMPFERMANN, JB. Mr. William H. Schimpfermann, Jr., died at his father’s residence, No. 3017 Wabash avenue, yesterday morning, after an illness of several weeks.

He was ayoung man of exccl- lent habits, even temper, and gentle nature. During his long illueas he had. no word of com- plaint at -the fate which stared him in. the face from the first. The germs of consumption were lodged in his constitution, but a recent residence of about ayearin Leadville,Colo., had apparent- ly (mproved his health, When taken down a tew weeks ago it was hoped that his strength would be sutliciontly restored to admit of re- moving him to Colorado again, but this was not possible at any time.

It was stated a week ago that the Clerk of the West Side Police Court had refused.to pay: into the City Treasury fines collected on account of prosecutions by the Humane Society, on the ground that thoy were all under the State law, ete. Since then there has been considerable talk'‘on the subject, which has brought about the following correspondence: CnicaGo, Sept. 3, 1880.—J. S.

Price then started in and ran better than either of the others, but O’Leary waited for him, finishing the thirty miles when the.rnauers had but twenty-seven and a quarter to their.credit. ‘The race wus an interesting one from start to finish, and afforded plenty of amusement to.the crowd, which cheered the winner heartily at the conclusion of his ride. : AQUATIC. Yesterday Evanston had a new experience in amusements in the regatta which occurred between the crews of Evanston and repre- sentatives of the Farragut Boat Club of Chicago. This was the result of a plan laid by a few Evanston gentlemen to. establish a ‘regular boating club... Since it has been found practicable to row in shells on the open lake the interest. in that sport has gradually increased, until now it is pro- ‘posed to organize 2 club and erect a house on the shore, and the regatta yesterday was’ the initial movement in that direction. The Farraguts had kindly’ consented to take part, and for that purpose came out from Chicago on the steamer Flora, bringing with them two six-oared barges, two working boats, and a ctouble scull. Long before the arrival of the Flora the people began to gather at the Davis-street pier, and when the Faces began the pier was well ‘lined with pecele. and the drive along the shore was ined with carriages filled with spectators. The course over which the races were rowed was from the line of the Davis street pier to a‘boat moored off Heck Hall and re- turn, a distance of about a mile. Be Two crews of the Farraguts rowed the first race in two-oared working-bonts, coming out within a few yards of each other, E Messrs. Lunt and Bradley, of Evanston, rowed the second race, a _double-scull, against Messrs. Adams and Young, of the Farraguts. The latter won in 7 min. 6 secs., with the other crew but two feet behind. The third race was for .six-oared barges between tne Edith Ingraham and the Ritch- er! The latter won in [1 minutes 9 seconds. ‘The “big four” of Evanston. rowed the fourth race against 4, Farragut crew in a workin; boat. The former won in8 minutes 2-secons : YACHTING. ‘ Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tritune, , Genzva LasE, Wis.,.Sert. 4.—A yacht- race occurred to-day which was sailed by three boats of the Lake Geneva Yacht Club, —the Nettie, Capt.

HAVANA, Sept. 4—The yellow-fever, has assumed an epidemic character in the Village of San Diego Del Valle, in the juris- diction of Sagua, attacking even creoles, and causing the death of forty persons within a few days. A sick soldier from Sagua pass- ing through the village imported the fever. ‘There were twenty-eight deaths from yellow-. fever and one from smalil-pox in Hayana for the week ending Friday last. Spectat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Wasmrneton, D. C., Sept. 4.—There is a yellow-fever scare in. Washington, owing, to the fact that the Board of Health has received information that the schooner Emma Lewis cleared at Havana for Washington Aug. 24, and was a suspected vessel, some of her erew haying died of yellow-fever after re- moval from ‘the vessel. The Georgetown (D. C.) Collector has also notified the Saper- intendent of the Board of Health here that several vessels are soon expected from Cuba, One is due Monday. -A peculiar illustration of the inefficient system of government which Congress has chosen to provide for the District of Columbia lies in the fact that there are no quarantine regu- lations here, nor is there a quarantine station. Whatever is'done will have to be done practically butside of the law, or under the direction of the National Board of Health, which isa Jaw to itself. The local authorities have been in consultation to-day with the National Board of Health to pro- vide somé means of enforcing a quarantine of these-expected vessels,: and the Health Officer of the District has issued a prociama- tion that no vessels from West Indian ports shall be permitted to enter the waters of the District of Columbia without. a clean bill of health from himself. It remains to be seen whether the National Board of Health, with its balf-nitilion. of dollars, wus ave toy pre vent an infected vessel from tying up ie wharf at the National Capital. : THEY R. HERE.

The proprietors were forturate in securing the services of Messrs. J. B. Sullivan & Bro., 266 and 268 North Clark street, for this work, as they have.a National Teputation, and are recognized as -the leading <lecorators of the country. : ‘They were the first to combine the skill of the paper-hanzer with the artistic brush of the fresco-palnter, thus producing the most happy effects: * The interior of the Grand Opera-House isfan excellent example of thiscombination, the beautiful blending of the rich colors and the graceful elegance of the designs charms the eye at every point. The fixtures ‘which were designed especially for the Opera House are exceed- ingly handsome and were. designed and fur- nished by the well-known house of E. Baggot, corner Madison street and Fifth avenue. ‘The ornamental wire work separating the | divisions of the'auditorium-was furnished by Keily. & Voss, of the -Enterprise Wire Gloti Co.. 19 lark, and the excellent charac- ter of their work deserves the highest praise.

It imay de interesting to our readers to know that during the recent Triennial Con- clave the number of cans of milk and cream consumed at the Palmer House reached the modest sum of ninety cans perday. This cnormous quantity for one house was sup- plied by Mr. J. W.-Kee, who regularly tur- nishes' the Imer with the snowy lacteal fluid from his iinmense dairy corner of Hill | and Franklin streets. “This was. done with- out neglecting in the slightest degree any of his regular patrons. and when it will be re- membered that it takes from 100 to 130 cansof milk and about 25 cans of cream each day to supply his regular trade, the reader will read- ily perceive that Mr, Keo had no ordinary task to perform. Although he is one of the youngest dealers in the city, yet, by his hon- straightforward dealings with the public close. atieation to business, he has suc- ¢ ding up a trade second to none, if, indeed, it is equaled by any, In Chicago. The Boston Transcript braced up the other da; and observed: “The man who, while suffering from a first-rate toothache, has a smile and a pleasant word for everybody he meets, may not be a Christian, but his chances for salvation are Al.” é HANDEL'S HARPSICHORD. ‘ In the Kensington , Museum, London, may be seen Handel’s favorite harpsichord, made for him by Hans Rugkera, of Antwerp, in the year 1725. It is said that Handel’s perform- ances on this instrument were so fine that the attention of the audience was frequently di- verted from his singing to his accompani- ment. This instrament would make a poor showing compared with the pianos of the present day, and if the grand old composer could only have seated himself at some of the magniticent Chickerings or -the superb Hazelton pianos which attractsuch crowds of visitors to the music-rooms of Pelton, Pom- eroy & Cross, how he ‘would have enjoyed these (rtumphs of hyman invention, and what celestial harmony would he draw from them.
