There wore about thirty-tive present, the meeting being the best attended in the history of the Exchange. One of the members present stated that he haa qoude a visit to euch of the yards where coal is shipped. He had found” that in severnt Places, the stock ‘of anthracite was com- exhausted, and in other yards the stock was not half that usually curried at this time of year. Another member estimated that the receipts for the current month would not be over 30,000 tons, as compared with 56,000 tons in December, which was consid- ered an inadequate supply. ‘It was thought that the enow-storm of yesterday would still. further blockade the railroads, and many of the dealers expressed the gloomiest views as to the possible famine. In view of all these facts, the Ex- change decided to make another advunce of 50 cents per ton on all gradesof anthracite, thus tanking the price $8.50 per ton. IRISH-AMERICAN CLUB. The annual meeting of the Irish-American Republican Club was held last evening at the Grand Pacific Hotel. A. L. Morrison presided. ‘The session was unusually long, although the business was coptined to routine’ matters aud. the annual election, which resulted ns follows: President, Arthur Dixon; Vice-Presidents, 1.

A committee was appointed to suitably express tho thanks of the Club to Mr. Morrison, the re- tiring President, after which tho mecting ad- Journed for three weeks. DEARBORN AND MONROE. Judge Gardner yesterduy dissolved the tem- porary injunction in the cuse of J. E. Tyler against tho Connecticut Mutual Life-Insurance Company and others. ‘This was a bill to prevent the Company frum sclling to A. L. Evans, for $325,000, the property on the sou theast corner of Dearborn and Monroe streets, and was virtually only a sult to compel the payment to complain- ant of $2,500 commissions. The Judge,afterhen- ing the arguments, held that the injury com- plained of was merely a money iujury, for which there was an ample remedy by sult at law to recover damuges. If Tyler bad any valid contract he bad a mght of action agninst the Company. Thore was some doubt us to whether Tyler could maintain a bill or not, or whether ho was only Trustee for Evans; but in either case the injunction could not be main- tained, and must be dissolved. Mr. Bisbee, Tylor’s solicitor, wanted a Ittlo- time to consider whether ho would attempt to amend his bill so as to ask for specifie pertorm- gnce of the contract betwoen the Company and Tyler, and no order was made except to dis- solve the temporary injunction. THE CITY-HALL. Four bottles of water taken at the Crib at the Gepth, respectively, of ten, ifteen, twenty, and twenty-five feet, were brought in yesterday, and will be analyzed by the Health Department. The water looks exceedingly clear and pure. Crry-ENGINEER CREGIER and Marshal Swenie stated yesterday that none of the fire-plugs were frozen on Dearborn avenue Friday night. ‘There was plenty of water, but tho fire being in private residences, the chemical engines wero used as much as possible in order to avoid daraage to carpets and building by tlooding the house with water. The use of the chemical en- zines led to tne impression that the hydrants ‘were trozen, * Ciry-ATTORNEY GRINNELL has just completed his annual report for 1880, It ‘shows that 100 cases were disposed of, of which 23 were chan- cery and 7zluw. ‘There are nt present 261 cases vending. The sidewalk accident cases disposed of during 1380 it ved $138,000. The amount of judgments against the city in those cases wad 37,300, of which $4,650 bas deen appealed. The pending sidewalk cases involve $102,500. The cases disposed of do not include several tried more than once during the year, nor those cases wherein motions for dissolution of injunctiun were argued and heard. There are scventeen cases wherein judgments are rendered, and for which appropriation should made— to-wit: Caso for dumages for open- in, street, $15,581; sidewalk ac- cidents, 35,000; damages for opening Michigan avenue, tried by last attorncy, and omitted Inst yearby mistake, $2,479; miscellaneous cases, 35,049; to be appropriated, $3,231, against $6,000 appropriated in 18:9. This summary does not include the numerous tax’ or street-opening cases, nor the quasi criminal calendar. THE OLD ROOKERY LOT. Clity-Engineer Cregicr said to a reporter yes: terday. on the proposition mado by somebody that the City-Hall lot on the. corner of Adams and La Salle streets would be an available site fora new Boxrd of Trade ball, that the ground was too small for a Chamber of Commerce, but was exactly the place for a Grand Opera-House. He bad been thinking for sume time of bringing the matter to the attention uf Mr. Raverly, and men who were interested in the growth of the city and its improvement, He commented at Iength upon’ the availabilty of the spot for such a purpose. It was completely isolated from other buildings by two twenty-feot alleys and two sixty-six feot thoroughfares. It was in the immediate vicinity of other fine buildings, and, upon the ereation of the Chamber of Com: meree, wotild be in the very midst of business. it was the most accesible place in the city from all directions, north, south, and west. Mr. Cregier cluiined that it was an advantage not to have street cars passing the very entrance, be~ cause ft great many people in moderate circum- stances liked to attend operatic performances, and were unable to hire carriages, and yet were tov proud to like to be seon getting out of the Street cars in front of an opera-house. He classed himself among the number, and thought that the location only had to be inentioned to attract attention and early action. THE] COUNTY-BUILDING. CoxoussioneR STEWART starts for Florida the coming week, his mission being to shoot ali- gators and suck oranges. He will be apsent about three weeks. e Brrone Judge Moran, Charles Harris and R. Dupont pleaded guilty of petit larceny, ana were remanded for sentence. Before Juage Hawes, several witnesses were examined in the case of Eugene La Fayette, charged with steal- ing money and other-vnluables belonging to bis fellow-studénts in the Chicngg Theological Sem- inary. and the jury, after condulting about one hour, returned a verdict of guilty of larceny. ‘Tux trial of Lesser Friedberg, in the Criminal Court, has been: peremptorily set by Stato'’s- «Attorney Mills for‘Monday. This is one of the cases which grew qui of the killing of Otcer Race In front of Friedberg'’s pawn-shop on State street. At the trial of Friedberg before Judge arnum more than ‘a year ago the jury stood eleven for conviction in face of tho direction of the Court to acquit. Since thea the Grand Jury have returned ‘on onlarged Indictment, in the trial of which counsel for the defendant will be assisted by Emery A. Storra. ‘THE contractor for supplying the county insti- tutions with coal has been alittle derelict, ot late, on account, it is said, of his inability to get cars to dfuw tho coal from the ‘mines, and yes- terday the Committee on Public Charities took. a look into the matter. ‘They visited the railroad companies against whom the delinquency bad been charged, and tound that it was the contractor who'was to blame, according to thefr story. ‘The railroad authorities said thes’hid'an shurdarcs of cars, and could draw twelve car-ionas a dey for the county if as much were needed, and the Pamimalttee sell Le fail beak upon the con- ractor, and uuless he keeps up 8 su) rot they will be heard from. >? * SUPPIY of coal THE old, old question of whether or not County Coinmissioner's salary 1s tixed by ctetere at $250 per day was toformalty discussed by some of the new members yesterday, and the result is likely to be that some legistation upon the subject will be asked this winter, Lawyers disagree in interpreting the law, and, at best. the $2.0 ‘statute 1s u dead letter and an annos- ance, for the Commissioners, with one excep- ton, have drawn $5 perder." The exceptional member, however, repented after three years’ Szperiene® and now reads the law as the other tmembers do, and draws his pas. accordingly, A little legislation on the subject would not be amiss, Certainly the enactments could be made to harmonize. Snenire Maxx went home last evening in a very happy frame of mind. During the day the Tellow who called himself Frank Smith, and who wus arrested on Archer avenue, as Mason the escaped inmate of the jail, was fully and positively identitied ~ by several parties who knew him in and out of the jul. He would not acknowled; his identity, persisting that his name wasSuith, and that he bad never been in Chicago until the day of bis arrest. Coraparison with bis photo- graphs conclusively proves that he is the man, and he hus been placed in close confinement to awail the action uf die Grand Jury. Assistant Jailer Hawloy and Watchman Baker have re- signed. Thelr places have not been tilled yet. Tne Grand Jury for the January term of the Criminal Court will be sworn a to-morrow morning. The following have been selected by the County Commissioners: Washington Vaa Horn. Lake View; Nelson Cole, Bremen: Dfeyer Blum, Arlington Height Charles Woodford, Evanston; George E. Hermon, Blue Island: Henry Bosangung. Leyden; Herman Scnwamt! 4 Thornton; Frank Stephens, Kich; J.D. Sullteae. No. 167 West Madison street; Peter Waguer, No. 4: Btate street; D. S. O'Connell, No. 232 Blue Island avenue; John Schmeltz, ‘Ni Island avenue; H. W. Chase, No. 8 Park ave-! nuez Jegep Bera No. 24 Arnold; SR. How- M, ‘k avenue; Charles Breitzback, No., 615 Hubbard street; B. P, Hutchinson,’ No. 18 Harrison; William R. Swan, No. 983 West Madison street: Emil Hoechster, No. 456. North Clark street; Matthew Pitts, 511 North Halsted; Thomas C. Olark, 5733 Cottage Grove avenue; John Firmean, Elston avenue. Among other business to be ‘brpught to the attention of tho jury will be the bail cases passed during the last term. THe matter of letting contracts for county supplies will come before the. County Board to- morrow. The committees to whom tho bids for supplies were referred have aiready: reported, recommonding that the awards be made to the Jowest bidders, which does not please some of the present contractors, and the prospect is that in the letting thore will be quite a wrangle. The present meat contractor and some of his frionds are predicting, for instance, that be will get the award in the end, though he is not the lowest bidder; and he is expecting to accomplish his purpose by baying the letting postponed from time to time. He fs furnishing the meat {a the meantime, and thinks he {s at liberty to make his own prices, his contract haying expired, and if the letting can be postponed for uwhile, he, or bis friends, have an idea that the county cun be forced to terms. Some of the Commis- sioners, however, ure alive to the situation, and if the contract is not awarded to-morrow will introduce a resolution authorizing the old con- tractors to continue furnishing supplies at last Yyeur's prices until such time as new contracts are let, which should have been done weeks ago. BAR ASSOCIATION. THE LAW OF ATTACHMENT. ‘There would bave been a special mecting of - the Chicago Bar Association at Fairbank Hall yesterday «fteraoou but for the fact that only ‘three members wero on hand,—President E. G. ‘Mason, Secretary 0. F. Aldis, and Mr. Moses, ‘This trio waited one hour, and then, as thelr uumber had not increased, declared the meeting adjourned to Feb. 5, when there is to bea regu- Jar mecting. If aquorum had been secured yesterday, the question of certain proposed umendments to the Ulinois statutes would have been discussed, the meeting having been called for that object. Some of these proposed amendments have al~ ready been published,—those in relation to the State Auditor's annual report, in relation to jurors, and in relation to Justices of the Peaco and Constables,—but a special committee was to havo reported yesterday ufternoon or the ques- don as Co whut umendments to the statutes rela- tive to attachment suits were desirable. Mr. Mosea, who Was Chairman of that Committee, brought a lengthy report with him, .in which the most important of the amendments recommended are: ‘To perinit attachments for debts on accounts not duc; to proyide for the sale of perishable property attached; to abolish the provision fora division of proceeds among creditors in successive nttachiuents returnable the same term (let tho first ereditor who at- taches any property get the proceeds clalined by him); to provide for a recefver in case of neces- sity who ebull preserve or dispose of property, and have all powers of a receiver in chancery; to permit 2 creditor's bill to bu tiled in support of attachment as soon ns tho levy is made on the property; to permit the acfendant to plead to the action and the attachment at one and the same time, and to secure a jury's verdict on both At one and the same time; to subject the garni- shev to the provisions of the attachment lnw; to provide for tho giving of an additional bond by the plaintiff where the security is questioned. s COMANTTEES.

NOTHING NEW COULD DE LEARNED YESTERDAY regarding the talsification of the South Town Persoual property warrant, as County-Clerk Klokke, whois investigating the matter, adhered. to his determination to keep tho evidence he has for the Grand Jury. He must have learned something additional, as he admitted for the first time that 2 clerk in his office undoubtedly ebanged the figures. When asked if he knew the mau ho closed his right eyelid and replied, “ Wait a day ortwo.” As he said that no new man could have done the work, the inference is that he has in mind a person who hus been alone ume in the oftice, und, therefore, thuroughly ac- quainted with all‘the details of tuxauon. Al- though ‘it is not known exactly what Mr. Klokke and his detectives are doing, one of the latter intimated to a Trinuxe reporter Yesterday that the guilty clerk would be rought to the front before long, as considera ble circumstantial evidence bad already been colected against him, and only one or two llnks, both uttainable, were necessary to fasten tha crime upon bim. An examination is being mane of the real- estate warrant to find out whether tho assess- ments of any of the firms whose personal prop- erty valuations were reduced have been tam- pered with, The result will be made known next week. . The reporter learned yesterday of avother scheme by which tax-ngents huye made money in a crooked way, but_not by collusion with em- ployés in the County Clerk's office, Ono of them would go’ to a business firm ‘or real- estate owner and tell him hls assessment was $20,000 or $25,000, and he could have it cut down to $10,000 or $10,000 for so muck. The bargain would be entered into_by the property-awner, and the agent would simply put the ‘money in his pocket and do nothing, he having led in the first place: as tothe amountof the assessment, which was in reality what he said-he could have itreduced to, ‘This plan has been worked quite successfully, and merchants have been swindled out of many’ dollars by it. ‘The discoveries ns to the South Town warrant have put the County Clerk, Assessors, and Col- Jectors on their guard,and it will be pretty difficult hereafter to do what bas been done heretotore, and, until the tax authorities become carcless. and negligent again, every property-owner will be pretty aptto bear in equal proportion bis share of the cost of running the machinery of the local governments. SUBURBAN. EVANSTON. ‘The Trustees will mect Tuesday evening. The Rev. A. W. Putten will preach this morn- ing and evening in the Methodist Church. ‘The Rev. F.S.

A Highly Successful and Enjoyable Concert Last Evening in Ald of. tho Memorial Fund. ‘ ‘The Carpenter memorial concert last evening at the Central Music-Hall filled the great audi- torlum completely full, every seat being oceu- Pied, and the audience itself not only avery jarge but a very brilliant one. Measured finan- clully. the audience represented $2,700,—a very handsome sum to accrue from an entertainment that was almost impromptu, one which will more than accomplish the purpose of the projectors of the concert, and place in the balla magnificent memorial of its lamented manager. It would be both ungrateful nnd ungracetul to criticise un entertuinment of this description, where all who took part volunteered their services. All that should be done is to give credit to each'and all concerned. ss ‘The program opened with the performance of Bach's Grand Toccato by Mr. ddy upon the organ, which was followed by the ‘always wel- come “Egmont Overture” of Beethoven by the orchestra, led by Mr. Baintka, It is noticeable i all the orchestral selections were from Beethoven, Mr. Rosenbecker conducting the “ Funeral March” trom the Third Symphony; Mr, Liesezung tho “Leonora Overture,” No. 3: and Mr. Pratt the Allegro from the Fifth Sym- Phony. The third number on the program was 2n arrangement ot “The Sweet By and By,” by Mr. deimendahl, sung by the hickeriag Quartet (Messrs. Knorr, Clark, AMeWade, and Noble), which was encored, the quartet replying With an arrangement of’ “The Old Folks ut Home,” evidently by the sume h The — Apollo Ciub sang two bers és a mbaneretior, Roschat’s * er og" and “Spring Song,” with, Mr. Tomlins ut the desk, and these were followed by the “Funeral March,” alrendy alluded to. ‘Tho sixth number was Dudley Buck's familfar part song, “Lead, Kindiy Light,” sung by the St. Cecilia Quartet (Mrs. Gorton, Mrs. L. H. Wille jams, Siiss Pauline Rommeiss, and Mrs. Jeuny Kempton). After this number Mile. Bernhardt should bave appeared, but Mr. Pratt announced. that, as she had not yet come, the program would continue in its order under until her ar- rival. Three more numbers were Performed, the “Leonora Overture,” Pinsuti's “Parting: Song," by the Chicago Ghurch Choir Quarter vi Kaorr, and orus from Shall endure to the and the “Gloria”. of Mendelssohn by the Beethoven Society, Mr, Wolfsohn direct- ing. Atthe close of the ‘Iast number Mr. Mo- Vicker appeared ut the front and announced that fifteen minutes before he had expectea he would be obliged to ‘appear ana xpologize tor the non-appearance of Mile. Bernhardt, but “that indowicable little womun bad persisted in rising from her bed and coming to the hall Tather than disappoint the audience."—an an- nouncement which wus received with hearty applause.

HANS HAERTING. * Thero are many in Chicago who will deeply re-" gret to learn of the death of the geniul, good- hearted Hans Haerting,a talented German jour- nalist who was promiuently identitied with local politics asa Democrat, and who latterly occu- pled the position of Secretary of the Fire De- partment. His death occurred last evening ata quarter of 7 o'clock at bis room on the south- east corner of North Clark and Illinois strects, his brother Carl and a few friends being at his bedside durimg his lust hours. _ During the canvass preceding the last election Mr. Haerting contracted a severe cold, which he dia not pay inuch heed to, and on the 6th inst. be Was compelled to take to his bed with an attack of erysipelas.. Dr. Henrotin was culled and pre- scribed for him, and he showed signs of a speedy recovery until yesterday afternoon, when ho became unconscious. Dr. Carlson was called in, and, with Dr. Henrotin, everything was dona that medical skill could devise, but the patient sank rapidly, tho erysipelas having extended to the brain and caused fatlammation, thut resuited in deuth at the time above stated. Haas Sax Eugene Kurt Haerting was born at Dantzig, Prussixz, Noy, 21, 1818, and was conse- quently 33 years old: at the. time of his deuth. «tan early are he attended a college school at Breslau, and, his parents moving to Hunover, he resumed his studies at Aubagen’s Institute, At lihe had made suoh rapid progress that he was ndmitted by special order to the Polytech- nic Schoo! at Dresden, where he mastered the higher branches of study. In 1886 his parents emigrated to America and took up their home in Milwaukee, where: Hans, now a bright aad ambitious young man, obtained a position on the Herold as a reporter. After a bricf experi~ euce he became city ‘editor of the Milwaukee Banner and’: Volksfreund, a plaice’ that be fillea satisfactorily and: ably. Subsequenty be received the appointhtent of teacher of German iu the High-School ofthat city, and in 1872 he came to Chicago to assume the editorial chair in the Union, 2 German daily newspaper. Serv- ing in that position for a short time. or until the Union ceased to exist, be was next instailed as a correspondent for the leading German daily of Chicago, the itinois Staate-Zettung. In 1878 ho was chosen for the chicf editorship of the va- tlonal Democrat, a German daily newspaper that started out under favorable auspices, but was short-lived. Afterward he was editor of the Neue ae Presse, aud later of the Volksfreund. Having always taken an active part in polf- tics, acting uniformly-and consistently with the Demveracy, Mr. Haerting was rewarded for his * political services, and because of his fitness for tho position, by the ‘appointment of Secretary tothe Fire Department, serving with fidelity and ability up to the time-of_his inst illness. ‘Thus hus ended a brief life,—eventtul and full of promise for the future. All who kuow Hans Haerting—and there‘wer¢ many—liked him for his geniulity, his Mberality, and for bis many excellencies. =’. “ The dead journalist leaves a father at Cleve- janQ, a brother in New York, and one here.

His plan isto make European tourists for the eveuing of his audi- ences, giving an account of interesting localities istorical personages connected with them, iijusrtating everything of interest with profuse fad beautiful visws. The program for the week ‘}"includes lectures on Southern France, including Blois with its castle, famous as the pluce of che mumler of the Duc de Guise; Pau, the birthpluce. of Henry of Navarre; Lourdes, the Mecca of so many Catholic pilgrims, and an exploration of of the mujestic French Pyronces.

Tho next evening’s journey is among various interesting places in the German Fatherlung, finishing at the famous Wiulhalia, the German Parthenos. On Friday, evening the Orient is visited, and then is shown the squalor and the magniticence of the Sultun’s’ Capital and in imagination giideaiong the beau- tiftl Bosphorus.
