As might have been expected, the officers were surprised at the report of the manslaughter. Yesrerpay afternoon Officer Sternenagel found the dead body. of an unknown womun, about 45 years old, lying on the sidewaik on North Franklin street, between Chicago avenue and Superior street, and had it removed to the Chicago Avenue Police Station. Deceased was a Pole or Bohemian, about tive feet in hight. She was very poorly clad, and had evidently been begging. Nothing was fouud on the body to lead to its identificanon. Snentrr Mann's recent appolutees were to have been sworn 'n last evening, and all these fortunate gentlemen assembled in Judge Rog- ers’ room expect to go through the trying ordeal. Gen.

A CoumiTTeE yesterday afternoon had under consideration the changes made in the Van Buren street viaduct, by which the grade has been ruised and property in the vicinity has heen damaged, Commissioner Waller and the ‘ugineer were called upon to explain, and they both axrced that the alterations hid been made without any authority. aud that they knew nothing of what was being done until they saw it in Tas TRIDUNE. ‘neir explunation did not give entire satisfac- Gon, espreialiy since they are supposed 10 look after such matters.

BAR ASSOCIATION. A sparsely attended: mecting of the Bar Asso- ciation was heid peers afternoon in Fair- ‘bank Hall, Gen. LN. Stiles in the chair. Mr. Judd moved that proper action be tsken by the Association to amend the iaw requiring the Su- preme Court to convene at Springtield. Carried and referred. Judge Anthony reported for the Coramittee on Amendment of the Lawa, and submitted a number of bills embodying points raised by the members of the A! ation, reo- ommending that they be printed and discussed at some future time. They did not meet all the points to be made, and he thought best plan. The bills bo: this the re on the country Justice fraud, the drawing of Grand Jurors, and other important juestions. The report was adopted, and it was lecided to hold au adjourned meeting one week from next Saturday, at2 o'clock, to discuss the bills." Mr. Robert Hervey,. Chairman of the Lecture Committee. reported that Mr. Conkling, of Springtield, would lecture before the Associa- tion some time this month, Mr. Thomas Hoyne would deliver a lecture in January, and Judgo Goodrich, Mr. J. ¥. Seammon, and Judge Dickey would be heard during the winter. A resolution was passed instructing the Committec on In- quiry to confer with State’s-Attorney Mills, and proffer to him any professional assistance he might need in the prosecution of bribed jurors. Mr. Collier offered a resolution the effect that the Commjttee on Amendment of the Laws be Mitsructed to waiton the Board of County Commissioners and confer with them in relation to the inforce- tment of the statute in regard to the selection of Grand Jurors. Adopted. A resolution was passed authorizing the Com- mittee on Amendment of the Law to presenta memorial to the Judges of the Superior, Circuit, and County Courts asking them to meet and adopt uaiform rules of court at law andin chancery, as the conflicting rules now in force in the twelve courts of this county are a source of embarrassment to lawyers and suitors, The Chair appointed Messrs. Jayne, Gordon. and Collier as a committee to audit the accounts of the Treasurer, which are to be presented at the next jpenting of the <Association,—the an- nual meeting. On motion of Mr. Leman a com- mittee. consisting of Messrs. Leman, Sheldon, and Mason was appointed to confer with the County Board in reference to the early completion of the court-rooms in the new County-Building. The Chair appointed Messra. I. N. Stiles, Nor- man Williams, W. R. Page, T. W. Packard, and L. L. Palmer to act as a committee to arrange the preliminaries for the approaching annua! dinner of the Association. ‘MISS FRANCES E. WILLARD, the well-known temperance lecturer, delivered a lecture on * The Temperance Question Philo- sophically and Critically Considered,” before the Philos.phical Society. in the club-room of the Paliner House, lust evening. There was a large and intelligent uudience, and considerable in- terest wus manifested in the lady's treatment of the subject which is now receiving considerable attention on all sides. Miss Willard referred to the power wielded by strong drink all over the world, and presented a number of statis- tics which bore ber out in ker state- ment. The subject of beer legislation was treated at some length, and the lady held that the distillers and brewers were tast becom- ing dictators in this country. [Laws of the dif- ferent States were analyzed, and the immense intluence exerted by women in the States where the Liquor law was in force was pointed out very clearly. Miss Willard spoke of tne assist- ance rendered her in her temperance work by women of all nationalities, and stated that only the German women were backward In volun- teering help in the cause, for the reason that they did not like the idea of giving up their beer. The temperance people had gained a signal victory in Kansas at the lute election in the regiection of Gov. St. John, the Temper- ance Governor, and the lecturer believed his success was due in a great measure to the efforts of the women. She thought it much worse for a country to be governed by an oligarchy of brewers and distillers tban by a monarch. The evils of Intemperance were graphically depicted, and Miss Willard referred to the number of homes which had been desolated by King Alco- hol. That was one great reason why the women of the land were opposed to the liquor tratfic. ‘Tho lady also referred to the treatment of the temperance question in other countries. THE COUNTY-BUILDING. ‘THE name of Mr. Louis Haas, Bailiff in the Ap pellets Court: was inadvertently omitted from el lann’s list of appointments pub! yesterday. papueeed Amon the indictments returned by the Grand Jury yesterday was one against ex-Detective Charles Aldrich, for complicity in the Morrow jewelry robbery, and also one inst Wali enon against Walier Nosz of Gen. Mann’s official acts have thus far given more satisfaction than the reappoint- ment of Mr. P.J. Canill as Bailiff. Mr. Cahill bas served very acceptably for a coupleof years, and the pressure brought upon Gen. Mann to reappoint him was so strong that it could not be resisted. THE recount of the Legislative vote in the Eighth Senatorial District progresses very slow- ly. Yesterday’s work concluded the count as far as the Sixth Precinct of the Fourteenth ‘Ward, the only changes being a Democratic gain of 19% votes. Afessrs. Scharlan and Mieros- Jawakl, after supervising the count for # short T time, mutually agreed to go home, and, after + pocketing the taily-sheets, left the building. Justice Robinson is disgusted with the ‘way In which the count is being conducted. ‘THe Hon. Kirk Hawes will begin bis judicial duties to-morrow morning. The Grand-Jury room is being fitted up for « branch of the Crim- inal Court, over which Judge Hawes will preside, Chief-Clerk Doyle will probably act as Clerk of the new Court, fora time at least. The regular call of the December docket will begin in this Court to-morrow. SHERIFF-ELECT MANN yesterday filed his official bond in the office of the County Clerk. ‘The bond Is for $100,W00, and is signed by Orrin L. Mann, John Raber, C. B. Farwell, Marshall W. Carter. and P. H. Rive, and is approved by all the Judges of the Circuit Court, as required by law. Coroner-elect Matson also filed bis official bond for $15.00, with William Johnson and Kittel Nirison as sureties. JAILER CURNIER'S tenure of office expires to- day. and the genial Tom resigns the duties of a position which he has filled for four yeurs past with honor to himself and with fidelity tothe public. Itignot known what Mr. Cur- rier’s intentions are for the futuro, but it may safely be said that his valuabieservices will soon be in demand, und wherever be may go the best wishes of a host of warm personal friends will follow him. Jupoz Gany yesterday issued a peace-war- rant for the arrest of John E. Tillotson for mak- ing threats against William T. Peironnet, a Board of Trade man. This is the.outcome of the scandal of last summer, when it will be re- membered Tillotson attempted to commit sul- cide on account of certain relations which he said existed between Peironnet and his wife. Suerivr MANN’s appointments were yester- day the subject of considerable comment, both comendatory and otherwise, about the County Building. ‘he appointment of Conrad Folz to the position of Juiler was generally looked upon as anunfortunate one, to say the least, and universal regret was expressed at the removal of Tom Currier. The itst of buliffs was some- what criticized, and some of the present baliffs who were notreappointed were of course not satistied with Gen. Mann’s appreciation of their services both in and out of the courts. In this connection it is safd that the new Sheriff has applied . for nine bailiffs, three watchmen, and two clerks more thau tho law allows him, but which are needed owing to tne increased number of Judges, and that the Judges of the Circuit Court have the matter under consideration. As Gen. Maun hes ignored the appointment of certain bailitfs requested by these Judges, is rumored that his Spplication foran additional number of court-bailiffs will not be approved. THE GRAND JUKY yesterday completed its three weeks’ session, made its final report to Judge Gary, and was discharged. The whole number of cuses heard was 32; true bills returned, 140; no bills, 160; and twenty-four oases were passed to the next Grand Jury. Among the indictments returned were the fol- lowing: George B, Mathews, for forging the name of Ruth E, Eddy; Nathan Levy, Harry De Young, and several other pawnbrokers, for ro- celving stolen goods; Jobn Foster, for rape on Mrs. Harriett Breakwell; George’ S. Marsh, for- merly bookkeeper for Hibbard, Spencer & Co., for embezzlement; John Kinney, for the slaying of Ha Weldon; Anna Mackey, for the mur- der of Dora Abell; John Texter, for rape com- mitted on the girl Elmira Fletcher; Charles Moeck, for the murder of Adam Conrad; Albert Mabey, formerly salesman for Field, Leiter & Co., for larceny of is from his employers; George Bates, a West Side stutioner, for receiv ing 30,000 slates stolen from Thomas Kane, man- ufacturer of schoo! furniture: Fred Klaren for arson, in setting fire to a dweiling-house; Wes- ley Adams and three or four companions, who wreaked their vengeance upon offending bar- Keepers by kicking in several glass windows. These are ‘about ail the cases worthy of special mention. ‘The cuses of murder against Patriok Howard and James Burke were passed to the next Grand Jury on account of absent witnesses. William Hintelman, charged with Perjury in making a straw-bail bond in Judge Moran's Court, in an appeal case, was discharged tor want of prosecution. Fora like reason Fred- erick Weber, the West Side notary, charged with forgery, was discharged. ‘The number of cases beard during the session is almost unprecedented in the history of tho Court. and Assistant Stato's-Attorney Baker was highly complimented for the courteous and able manner !n which he presented the cases and attended to the business before the jury. The jury did not visit the jail, and made no re- port of any kind outside of what is herewith presented. THE COUNTY BOARD. There will be a caucus of the members of the County Bourd to-morrow for the purpose of selecting persous for the various offices which the Board hus to fill. In some cases, it is under- stood. there is no question about the reélection of the present incunibents. In others, there is apt tobe acontest. Dr. Bluthardt will most likely be reélected County Physician. Tho chances appear to be in favor of Dr.Spray’s reélection as physician ut the Poor-House and Insane Asylum. Dr. H. M. Bannis- ter, who .,. made. a .,spectalty.,.of . jn- sunity,- “8 however, 2 candidate | for the position, and:his-friends are ‘stronit Greing higclaims. ‘For Warden of the County Hospital there are thus far but two candidates,—Capt. Mills, the present incumbent, who has made an excellent record during the two years that bo has held the office, and Mr. R. P. Williams, of the Twelfth Ward, who was a candidate for Alderman a year or so. ngo, and who {s atrangly indorsed by many leading citizens asa man of fine parts. It is considered likely that Mr. Peters will be retained at the Poor-House, though it is understood that there are one or two persons who believe that they have a fair chance for the nomination. LOCAL ITEMS. “ 4 kiss,” said young Charles, “is a noun, we allow; but tell me, my dear, is it proper or common?” Lovely Mary blushed deep and exclaimed, “ Why, I vow, I think thata kiss is both proper and common.” The rapid growth of the Pacific express business is shown by the fact that the num- ber of packages daily received for shipment at the Company’s office in the United States Express Building now averages over 1,000 perday. The largest proportion of this num- ber is sent from Messrs. Brown & Prior, the celebrated haberdashers and shirt tailors, whose trade now extends into every nook and corner of the United States. “What's wrong between you and Smythe, that you don’tspeak?” “Haw! Fact is, we were both wivals for the hand of the same young lady—acelebwated beauty, you know! —and—well, I don’t want to bwag, but I got the best of ft. Poor Smythe!” ‘My dear fel- low, a thousand congratulations!” “Thanks awfly. We both propused last week, you know, and she accepted—a—him. The country is just now excited by the dangers from threatening monopolies. We have gigantic monopolies in railroads, land, oil, gas, coal, iron, steel, and in fact. which- ever way we turn we find monopolies either organized or threatening. Monopolies are almost always dangerous; but there are cases where they are a positive benetit to the ublic. For example, we tind that the music ouse of Pelton, Pomeroy & Cross, 150 and 152 State street, have a virtual inonopoly of the piano inarket. In other words, they hav secured the control for this market of all the leading vianos of the world, including the world-renowned Chickering, the superb Hazelton Bros.’, the. splendid Decker & Son’s, and the charming Gabler. ‘The firm are thus enabled to present these superior instruments side by side, so that the pur- chaser can examine and test for himself. They offer the lowest possible prices, and _al- ways guarantee every instrument sold. The monopoly is therefore truly beneficial, and Messrs. Pelton, Pomeroy & Cross are prime favorites with the music lovers of the West. A Dr. Knox, of New York State,-thinks he has done a big thing because he has taught some pet pigs to play euchre. Lethim go into a pen—beg pardon, smoking-car—on any of our railroads and he will find what be thinks is a curiosity is a cominon enough hing. One of the most important changes in the style of firm that have taken place in Chicago for many years occurred on Dee. 1 in the firm of Charles Brachvogel, No. 261 Wabash aye- nue. The successors are Mr. Charles H. Brachvogel and Mr. Adam J. Press, both of whom are well and favorably known in this city, and the style of the new firm is Brach- vogel, Press & Co. It is safe to predict that the enviable reputation this old. reliable art emporium has enjoyed in the past will not suffer under the new régime. The Locomotive publishes engravi in each issue showing how boilers look just after they have exploded. This doesn’t seem to hit the case at all. What is needed is a picture showing how a boiler looks just be- fore it is going to explode. We could then learn when to get out of the way. Ladies should not be deceived by adver- tisements claiming to sell millinery lower than the reliable stores of Hall, 22 West Madison and 101 State. Examine new prices. “By Jove!” exclaimed Harry, “look at that xirll What color! She’s the picture of health!” Said Dick, who has learned to discriminate between’ nature and art: “A picture of health! A painting, you mean.” D. W. Irwin, Esq., is having his block of elegant flats, corner Wabash avenue and Harrison street, handsomely finished in French polish on the natural wood. O’Brien Bros., 367 State street, are the contractors. There is a burden of care in getting riches, —fear in keeping them, temptation in using them, guilt in abusing them, sorrow in losing them, and a burden of account at last to be given up concerning them.—and |¥et foolish people sell their souls and sigh tobe rich.

A Catholic Graveyard Controversy in Cincinnatl. Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Crxcinnati, O., Dec. 4.—There was consid- erable talkin high Catholic circles to-day over the refusal of Bishop Elder to allow the rites of the Church to be performed over the late J. C. Fiedeldey, a} prominent Democratic politician, because his family had decided to bury him in Spring Grove Cemetery, which is unconsecrated ground. Fiedeldey was a prominent and wealthy Catholic, and all his family are active members in that Church. It was the intention of Mrs. Fieldeldey, the widow of the deceased, and her’son, Mr. William C. Fiedeldey, to have the funeral ceremony take place at St. Xavier Church, on Sycathore street. The Rev. Father Driscoll, S. J., was ata previous re- quest to say the last rites for the deceased, as both in life had been most intimate friends. The Rey. Father Driscoll, on ap- plication by the family expressed his_will- ingness to do this for his devoted friend, but ie Reverend Coadjutor Bishop (Elder), ning that the remains of Mr. Fiedeldey were to be interred in Spring Grove, where there is no consecrated ground for Catholics, refused to allow the rites of the Church to be said over,.fae body, or the body to te brought into the Church. unless tha famits: would agree to bury the deceased ina Cath- olic cemetery. The Rev. Mr. Meyer, Presi- dent of St, Xavier College and the Church of the same name, was personally appealed to, but the Bishop would not change his de- eision. ‘The last request of the deceased having been that his body be buried in Spring Grove Cemetery, his family decided to com- ply with the request, and accordingly pro- cured the services of the Rev. Mr. Stanger, Bishop Elder having also vrotested against Father Driscoll, or any Catholic clergyman, going to the house. THE WEATHER. Orrice or THE CmEF SIGNAL OFFICER, Wasuincrton, D.

The fire is reported to have caught from a plece of waste in the hands ofan employé coming in contact with a gas-jet. F The Free-Will Baptist Church, opposit the mill, and in dangerous proximity to a frame dwelling, is on tire. It is reported that an employé named Greenwood was burned to death, and that several were badly scorched and cannot re- cover. ‘The loss by the burning of the Kearsage Mill is estimated at about half a million. Nearly 350 operatives were thrown out of employment. The fire spread so rapidly that the occu- pants barely escaped as the flames rushed to- ward theystaircase. Several, indeed, were obliged to leap over the fire in order to make their exit, and some were severely burned. It is now known that not more than one Person was burned to death, but, had. the fire burst out twenty minutes later, the destruc- tion of life must have been great, as the mill would have been in full operation. ‘The mill was built in 1845-’6, and was 204 feet long, 70 wide, six stories, with two L’s, each 1U0 by 30 feet. two sturies.

The alarm fron Box 136 at 12:02 this morning, followed by a2-ll alarm twelve minutes tater, was caused by fire breaking forth in the frame planing-mill of Oscar D. Wetherell, located on the east side of Quarry street, between Twenty- fifth street and the Chicago & Alton Railroad tracks. The alarm was first given by Jamcs Lee, a watebmun employed in C. C. Thompson's lum- ber yard, but the fire was discovered by Fred Bibler, the night watchman employed within the mili. He exys the fire when he first saw it was already under considerable headway in the engine room. and it was beyond his power or that of anyother man, single-handed, to ex- tinguish it. There uppeared to be burning a small pile of shavings lying on the floor near the shaving-chute, but the flames had already spread into the mill througb smali openings known us the line-chutes, and through which the belting runs. Bibler was ulso of the opinion that there was fire in the shuving-cbute, and if there was thet is where it originated, for the chute fs separated from the engine room oy a heavy iron door, which is always kept shut when tho mill is notin operation. ‘The structure was a one-story frame, and to- gether with the outbuildings, comprising the engine-room, shaving-room, office, und boiler- room, . which were ‘smail’ one-story brick structures, covered a tract of land about 16&x. A portion of the brick structures, including the oflice, was not burned ‘The mill itself, all filed with tinder as it was. went up in smoke and flame ina short space of time. ‘The sulvage will be very little, not more than’a few hundreds of dollars perhaps. Four years ago Mr. Wetherell was similarly cleaned out, and once about eight years ago the mill was all but destroyed. In the tire of last night the dry-kilns of Thompson’s lumber yard and a large quantity of lumber were saved only by a wind which chanced to be from about the only quarter in which it could do no great barm. A TRIBUNE reporter called at the house of Mr. Wetherell, at the corner of Calumet avenue and Thirty-first street, and learned that he was contined to his bed with a severe fllness. He gave the information, how- ‘that the mill property was’ valued at $15,000, and there was an insurauce upon it of $6,000 or $7.000 in the agency of Fred A. James & Co. The building was a frame one, 5U by 100 feet in dimensions, and the machinery init bad a capnelty for turning out 100,000 feet of planed lumber per day. In and immediately around the mill were about 400,000 feet of lumber, a portion of which way destroyed or damaged. The extensive lumber yards of C. C. Thompsou sur- { round the mill, and contain muny thousands of feet of lumber. The prompt action of the Fire Departiment prevented the spreading of the fire to the great pilos of lumber about the mill, to which the flames were contined. ‘The fire was entirely, extinguished at -1:24 o'clock this morning. PETTY CRIME. Arrest of Burglars, Shoplifters, Hob- bers, Etc.
