Many of the no bills were as to de- fendants who were held over on more than two cases. Among others were the folldw- a cases: ohn P.

Paulson, who swindled people with bogus bank-hooks on the Hibernian Bank, was indicted three times. Three indictments were returned against Minnie Myers, alias Kate Wolt, for stealing silk from Field, Leiterd&Co., Charles Gossage &Co., and Pardridge & Co. The ati_ Constable, John Laughlin, id to kidnap Alfred Seymour, of Iiyde Park, was indicted therefor, and was also indicted for assaulting Col. ‘Thompson, the attorney. = Uland Simon, arrested in Kankakee for stealing the horse and phaeton of Dr. Beebe, of this city, was indicted.

ON LAKE MICHIGAN, OCT. 17. For The Chicago Tribune. We struck the rocks "mid the blinding sicet, For the night was wild and dark; But we felt not fear, for the shore was near, And ours was 2 brave, stanch bark. “Four bells "—and we saw tho flerce, gray sky: Still with laugh and song our crew Cheer'd the sinless day a3 it sped away With its hours so fast—so few. “Eight bells"—and tho howling nigot-cloud ell, With death and gloom o'ercast; Deep called unto deep, and the billows sweep O’er shivering shroud and must. And the mariners dream of home has fled— His dream of bome and rest; es He will sing no more ‘Sullor, steer for the shore, As he speeds o'er the waves’ white crest. All through the night their songs of praise Rose to the rock-bouud strand; : “Nearer, My God, to Ebco,” swept o'er the surging sen— “Nearer to fair Canaae’s Land”! Not 2 trace was there—I alone was saved— As day broke on our Ice: . Life's tempest o’er, to the tideless shore They have suiied, o'er tho Jasper Sea. —— international Food Exhibition. The Agricultural Hall, London, is at present the scene of an exhibition of un entirely novel charucter, to which the wide but not too com- prebensive naine of International Food Exhi- bition has been given by {ts promoter, dr. John Black, It i# u display of the muititu- dinous food products of Europe, America, and Australia, and hus been designed mainly with aview of bringing under the notice of the English public iminy varietics of preserved ment, tish, Vegetables, and fruit, together with the best methods of preparing them for the table. In addition to this there is a large col- lection of culinury and domestic apparatus of tho most approved and ingenious kinds. There are altogether 290 exhibitors, whose stalls fill tho whole body of the ball, and as these are not only interesting in themselves but are ar- ranged, for the most part, with much taste, a striking and picturesque etfect is obtuined. In tinned products the London Tinie suys that America naturally takes the lead. Tho exbibl- Uon teems with ber preserved meats, fish, fruits, and vegetables. Australia is poorly represented, having nothing to show but ber femilfar beet and ioutton tins, butthis unfortunate cireum- stance 1s aceounted for by the fact that this cx- hibition wus thought of only a few months ayo, and that Australlan producers consequently have had no time to put inan appeurance. England excels in the mechunical department, which forms, perhaps, the most interesting -and in- structive part of tho exhibition. The Continent- al “exhibits,” for the sume reason . as the Aus- tralian ones, are poor, ‘They are only thirty in consist chiotiy of wines, eardines, and preserved iruits. In walking through the ex- hibition onc i3 struck by the infinity of uses to which gus Is applicd. It acts.23 the motive power in inost of the machines, and it seems entirely to have superseded coal in tho more complicated cooking stoves and ranges. One re- markable apparatus is the Crown” .beater. By turning a tap of cold water into a comparatively emul cylinder, which is so arranged Tnside ns to preseut large beating surface, one obtains a SLE EO AES TEENA ny SOE continuous stream of boiling water. - The tinned meat is not withouta rivalin the London market. The variety of tinned products is amazing. Oae firm exhibits ns muny us 200 sorts, the great majority of which are cutirely unknown to the a1 ry Enylish housewife. Some in- genuity, of course, bus been displayed in ob- tatning’this variety, which embraces such bizarre prepa In3 as * curried kanguroo "and “roast thrush’; but most of the tins are such as would commend themselves to the English pulate. The exhibition was formally innugur- ated by a luncheon, to which abaut titty orsixty gentlemen interested in the food question were invited. The menu was entirely composed of preserved provisfons, and, with the exception of some of the vegetables, which seemed lacking in flavor, and the tinned beef, which uppurentiy no gravics, however cunningly devised, can ef- fectually disguise, was a remarkable success. The “turtle” was from Jamiuica. The other soups were very good: su were the fish, the corned beef, the fowl. and the peas. As for tho fruit, it was dolicious; it even seemed to have improved in flayor by beiuz potted. The pinc- apple could not have been excelled. the fact be- ing that that fruit is preserved after it attains a degreo of ripeness and lusctousness which would render it unit for exportation. LUMBERMEN’S EXCHANGE. Complaining of a Lack of Cars—Revis- ing tho Price-List, Ete. A called meeting of the lumber dealers of this city was held at the rooms of the Lumber Ex- change yesterday. There was a fair attendance. ‘The meeting was for the purpose of considering the present situation of trado and prices. Mr. €. C. Thompson presided. Mr. Thad Dean introduced the following: Resolved, That the luwber business of Chicago is seriously hampered and -limited in conse- quence of the lack of ability or the absence of a desire upon the part of the railroud companies to furnish cars to curry building materials to the. poluts on their respective roads where it is needed. Resolved, That in this policy which for several yeurs has been pursued, greatly to the detri- inent of our business, we recognize a contracted tmanngement, dumaging not only to our busi- ness, but to the interests of the whole country. *-Reso.vzd, That we appreciate the good service of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Hailway in generully tilling with promptness our orders for curs. Thaz we bail with satisfaction the im- proved munagement of the Chicayso & Aiton Railway in this particular, and that we are greatly encouraged by the ‘prompt manner in which we ave been supplied with curs by the Wabash, St. Louis & Pacific Railway. ‘Resolved, That in shipping to competing points it is our duty to patronize those roads whieh at alt pens fuisatah us the best facilities for prompt. shipment. * e Kesvloed, That a copy of the resolutions be furnished to the General Freight Agents of the several roads. doing business in this city, IN SUPRORT OF THE RESOLUTIONS Mr. Dean said.that he was satisfied that the General Freight Agents were in sympathy with the trade, and, while ackuowledzing a luck of accommodation in the supply of cars, claimed that they were unable to do more than they did, Mr. Dean believed the higher powers of the rallway corporations were respousible for the present state of th! Mr. Skeele belit it would be a good idea to puss the resvlutions, without exempting any road from merited censure. ‘The Chuir favored the passage of the resolu- tlons, but did not think it uavisable to censure one roud and commend another. ‘The resolutions were then adopted by a unan- imous vote, it being conceded that to pass them would huve a good effecvipon the railroad com- panies. ms NO CUTTING RATES. Mr. Winters submitted the following: Resolced, That we do Hereoy ora one with another that in case any dealer sees or belleves that occasion exists for a reduction in the price of uny item or items of the price-list this day adopted itshall be considered an act of bad faith to issue any price-list containthg any such reduction, or auy delivercd ilst than tho price- ust and freight added, without tit otty ing the President of the Exchanze, an requesting through him the culling of a trade inceting to consider the advisubility of such reduction. ‘The resolution wus unanimously adopted. Upon motion of R. L. Henry, the Chair ap- inted Messrs. Thompson, Skeelc, Henry, Harvey, -and Carpenter u coinmittee to tix the weights of lumber, their report to be submitted before adjournment, The Committee retired tor consuitation, and pendiug their report the Chair suggested the propricty. of. Giscusning the Price-list, and u motion to readopt the list of Auy. “I was not seconded. ir. Lamb, of Clinton, la., was invited,to ad- dress the mecting. He said the trade in bis sec- tion was in a pi erouscondition. The dealers bad disposed of gheir stocks ut fair rates. There. was @ scarcity of. cars, but the mill stocks tz the spring would be as low us last year if cars could be secured. Prices would undoubtedly keep up, aud he hoped Ubicage degiers would assist the dealérs‘onjthe Mississippi inkeeping them up. THE COMMITTEE TO FIX WEIGHTS Feported tha follow ing, the estimates beirg for dry lumber: Joists, scantling, and timber, 2.00 pounds; boards ‘and fencing, rough, 2400; %-surface lumber, 2,100; 13-16 surface lumber, 2.000; siding nod X-ceiling, 80; i-Inch siding ‘and cellms, 1,100; §-ineh siding and ceiling, 1,400: dreseed flooring, 1.900: dressed picce-stuif, 2.100; shin- gles, air-dried, 239; shingles, kiln-dried, 220; luth, kiln-dricd, 500; thick lumber. surfaced, 2.250. "The report was adopted without a dissenting vote. ‘The mocting then took up the consideru- tion of the pricelist. Sr, Ferguson moved the readootion of the August list, and it was, after considerable discussion, taken up veriatin aud readopted with very few changes. It was expected ‘that the question of discon- tinuing the employment of traveling salesmen would be taken up, but the whole matter was ‘postponed, and the necting adjourned. <a HUMOR, ‘Actors shonld be watched closely on elec- tionday. ‘They are professional repeaters.
