Tnder the direction of Mr. Harry W. Freach an entertainment wus given in the Central Music Hall yesterday evening by four native Hindous, consisting of 1wo adplt males, an edult female, and a _boy. These were ' ad- vertised as the leading atrraction, but tho 1nost lasting fenture of the cvening Was an ex- hibitdon of very beavily paiunted stercopticon views of Hindostan in which cmeruld-green folinge, blood-red skics, und color-changing effects more wonderful than the kalcidoscope’s variations marred the effeet of what, left unim- roved, would have been very faithful and plex ng representutions ot that country. The views were accompunied by an explunators lecture by Mr. French which, though at times {t lacked the carefulness of dictlon necessary in handling delicate suljects before metropolitan audiences, was in the whole interesting, The exhibidon of views was followed by the introduction of tho Hindoo quartet, who treated the sudience to an exnibition of their native music, juggling, and dunciug. The juggling was performed by the oldesi of the males, who did a varicty of tricks, maoy of which, however, seemed tame when coropared with the incomprehensible de- lusions of the European magicians. Perbaps the 1most pleasing feature .of the evening wis tho dancing by the Nautch girl, whose short und stout, yet lithe, form moved geutly in unison with the quaint musie. und assumed pustures swhich were the emboditnent of grace. The en- tertninment was enjoyed by the audience, but it would be improved if there was a littic less of lecture and u little more of the native Hindoo element, which, if only by reason of its noveity, possesses an undeniable charin. TRAT $7 JUDGMENT. _A reporter who met 3r. A. C. Heslng yester- dagasked him what was the meaning of the ex- ccadon_for £7infuver of the Merchants' Na- tional Bauk agaipst the real estate of the old Chicagn Planing-)ill Company. -Mr. Hesing stated that be felt vexed not merely at the thing, but at the way in which it bad been given publicity, The prop erty referred to had been out of his hands for threc years, but, if the exccution had been presented to himself by the Sherity, as was his l{l’fl, or to Mr. Stanford, or Mr. Simon Powell, it would bave been paid {n & moment. 1t would be his ndvice to the Sheriff to 1o to the- present owner, who would settle it at once. The Sheriff, however., neglected bis duty by falling to present the execution either to Mr. Hesing or to tho present owner, and saw it to give vut the lettersoasto have the notice published in the Ppapers.

Jackson, of this city, and his wife. Owing to a confuslon of ioitisls and to misleading statements, it was at the time understood that Mr. Jackson was the person who had on previous occasions been written up /s a horse-jockey, ana it was stated in the article that the Mr. Juckson concersed in the divorce case was the ooe ‘who had been brought into unpieasant notorie- ty, owing to his borse trades. It was learued yesterday, however, that such was not the case, and that Mr. Jackson, durlng his long residence iIn this city, bas oot beeu mentioned in the pa- pers, nor done anything which should merit any unfavorablo comment, his reputation in busi- ness and private circles belng beyond reproach. Mr. Jackson s, therefore, entitled to n correction of the unintentionally incorrect statcments published concerming him, which correction is cheerfully given. THE COUNTY-BUILDING.

There is scarcely a doubt but the offenders will be indicted. IT hos been sugpested that an jmprovement much needed is the putting of matiing on the steps and in the hulls ieading to the Criminal Court rooms. Thenoise made in passing up and down the steps and through the hallsis so great at times that it is almost fmpossible for Judse or Jury to bear what is yoing on, and there secms to be no other remedy for it than the one named. THE cuse of John Hoffstetter, indicted for manslaughter, was given to the jury at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and after being out several haurs a verdict of guilty was reacned, and the punishment tixed at oné year in the 'Peniten- tinry.

Seventy-six prisoners were arralened in the Criminal Court yesterdpy to plead to indiet- ments. The following pleaded guilty to petit larceny: Louis Sunth (two indictments), Pat- rick Cannon, Georwe Curtis, Benjumin Lomm William Miller @wo indictments for petit and two for grand larceny), Jobn Shes, Edward Stoddard, nnd George Thompson.

T'he littic felfow cried aloud whea called upon o plead, and since he had been in juil a month Judge Moran took compassion upon him and will dis- charge him to-morrow, if his story proves true, There ouxht to be some way toreach the Justice ‘who bound bim 'r, for,even if be is guilty, the ase Lsnould never huve come td the Criminal ur — SELF-DESTRUCTION, Louis, Mo, Feb. 19.—F.T.

The proceedings were concluded before people were awaro of the transaction, and the prisoners were placed In charge of the troops, who immediately started to the depot with thoir charge. Then it was ugly. Two or three huudred people followed them to the depot, threatening vengeance and urging Baker, the father of the murdered mun, to make a start. Appeals were mnde to ‘*‘Make a rushl” “Gonhead and kill -them!" and other such ex- pressions. The Sheriff was cool, and the sol- diers, firm and undsunted, kept back the mob, who followed at adistanee of ten feet armed with guns, pistols, and rifles, and shouting vociferously all the while. Upon reaching the depot a line was formed sround the plat- form, and no one permitted to come on it. In the meantime, Baker, father of deceased, was rensoned and expostulated with, and invited to accompany the men to Nashville. He mnde the excited crowd a speech, and as- gured them he wns satisfied. This bad a ten- dency to allay the excitement. A bridge having broken down south of Winchester caused a do- luy of the train on which the troops were to go, the soldiers were forced to march to Decherd, tbree miles distant. Tho prisoners were xept in front und the mob in the rearat the point of the bayonet, the gunrds being mudé to walk back- ward to prevent the crowd from closing in upon them.

About fifty kept up with the soldiers und remained at Decherd two hours, while the troops, who took possession of the depot, wuited for the. train. The military renched here this afternoon and lodged tho ‘prisoners In joil. A TARD GANG. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, GENEVA, 1L, Feb. 19.—The trial of Willinm Crawford, for burglary, ended yesterday in the Circuit Court, and the prisoner was sen- tenced to imprisonment in the State Peni- tentiary for a term of five years. When arraigned for trial Crawford pleaded not gullty, but, as the case proceeded, bediscovered that conviction was inevitable, and asked leave to cflange his ples, thereby reducing his scu- tence, which would probably have been for ten or fifteen years. The circumstances of the crime. are -these: Last Sep- tember Crawford and one McCoy were confined In the De Kalb County Jull at Syca- more, and the former was released on a writ of habeas corpus. Heat once went to Chicago, and there met an accomplice fu _crime, Peter O'Brien, with whom he.laid a plan for the liberi- ton of McCoy. Returning with O'Brien to Sycamore, he revewled his plan to McCoy through the window-grating. The prisoner told his pnls not to bother with him, as be and his fellow-prisoners had perfected & plan for tho Wwholesule defivery ol the juil and would soon be prepared to put it in execution. He advised Crawford and O'Brien to make a raid on the town that nivht. The next morafog seven bur- gluries were reported to the police of Syeamore, As the appearance of the two villalns bad béen noticed, suspicion was finmediately centered on them, and the two were soon captured in Chi- cago. On the way to Sycamore O'srien, who bad been liberaily provided with whisky, exceedingly ~ communicative, and after some puwping evers particular was _ revealed. He since ‘consented to give State’s evidence, and will probably be re- leased. Crawford Is a severe-luoking customer, and his numerous facial cuts give evidence of many dark experiences. During the trial sev- eral members of Crawford’s family living in becamo Chicngo attempted to prove an nlibl, they testi- Iying that the prisoner was home on the night of the burglaries, They were nuch chugrined at the prisoner's resolve to nmend his plea.

Continustion of the Notorious Divorce Trinl at Grand Rapids, Mich. special Dispatch to The Chicapo Tridunc. GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Feb. 19.—In tho Addis case to-day tho cross-examinition of Frank F Kuttz, former Prosecuting Attorney, began the day. Mr. Kuttz detalled the facts as to the arrest of Heman Hlodgett and Willinm Addis, beretofore reported, more at length. He then thought from what he could learn that they ‘were great criminals, and ought to be severely dealt with, 50 he ordered Blodgett's nrrest, even though Godwin, Blrs. Addis’ lawyer, seemed to object. He had not tried to prevent Mrs, Addis® friends from seeing Blodgett in jail, and God- win never. called on him to get achance to sce Blodgett and get any confession from him. His thought at the time was that Godwin was anxious to push his cliegt's Interests, whether they contlicted with the criminal case und the people’s interests or not. When Godwin got the former decree of divorce vacated he felt ungry about it, and told Godwin he was too fast, for by 6o doing he had made it impossiole for 3Mrd. Addis to testify aguiust Addis, and she wasone of the most important witnesses. He thought they didn't want to push Addis too bard, and he snid at the time that if. 3 crime had been committed Addis was the worst criminal, and he would not help to punish the lesser criminal and let the greater go. He -went once to sec Mrs. Addis at Godwin's house on getting word from her that she would see him at his con- venience zbout the criminal cases then pend- ing. But Godwin's clerk informed him that she could not be seen uniess he haud a written order from Godwin. Then he sent word to Mrs. Addisthat he, ng prosecutor, had come as she had snid he should, and she sent back declining to see him unless by aavice of her attorney, and be didn't see her, ana neverdid atter. He hnd nothing to do with reduclng Blodgett's bail afterwards, and Judge Barris never tried to in- fluence him. M. H.

Tais Munro swore to. Godwin puid bim for his trouble, and witness sald Godwin seemed to feel good over his suceess in getting Muuro’s testi- mony. It would make no diference what he swore to after that. It would not be believed If it differed from tho atfidavit Frank MeGurron, another stenograpeer was sworo.

He swore then that he had not committed adultery with her, and never had. This cvidence was rend by the stenographer from the notes he thea took. ~ Later on, before the trinl of the case began, and three days before Munro so_mysteriously disappenfed, he took stenographic notes of an fnterview between Godwin and Munro in Godwin's private office, after Godwin bad bnd quite & lengthy inter- ~iew with Munro alone, and then he asserted no iilicit _relations that there had been b hfm _ ani Mrs. Addis, and tl?;:eenne had told ~Addis, Standish, Ballard, and otbers so when they had talked with hlmt:lhuut it. Hesald that Addis told him that Mrs. Addis had confessed to him, and gave him details of what she deseribed. But he agiin told Addis it was not truc, and he had insfsted on this stutement all the time, save once. After the former trouble was over, he nad told Maj. B. ‘Watson once, at Ballard’s request, that he had confessed to Ballurd before the former decree, and that it was true. He did this to help Bal- Jard. Mrs, Reed, daughter of 3rs.

She admitted to having taken rides with Blodgett twice,—once to his bouse, and the other time to the Addis farm, in Paris Township. She suid that Blodzett was at the house just about dusk of the evening be- foro the bedruom secene. Luter st night she anun saw him.

THE RAILROADS. Another Falling Off in the East- . Bound Freights. Humorous History of the Western Pas- senger Association. EAST~BOUND FREIGHTS. The reports of enst-bound-freight shipments show a serious failing off during the past week. The total shipments for the week ending Feb. 19 amounted to 46,180 tons, against 48,49 tons the week previous, r decrefisc of 3,260 tons. As the statement of shipments for the week ending Feb. 12 showed a decrease of 1,721 tons, it will be seen that during the last two wecks they have fallen off nearly 5,000 tons. The railroads claim that this decrense 1s principally due to the fact that the weather during the Inst two weeks has been unusually severe, and retgrded busi- ness very much. This, however, is bardly the cause of the decremse, for tho heavy snow-storms did not extend very far east. The wenther on the Eastern ronds was 03 trylng and severe a month ago, when shipments were 10,000 tons more_than u‘:‘:\’ were lust week. Besides, the Luke Shore, which was embarrussed more than fuy other Enstern line on account of the tood at Toledo, curried lust week nearly 5000 tons more than any other Eastern line. This would indieate that the cause for the decrease in east-bound shipments is not due to the scverity of the weather alone, but i3 to be attributed mostly 10 more natural causes. In the tirst place, tho country hus already been well drained of busi- ness during the Inst few months, the high prices for produce, ctc.,stimuluting shipinents more than usunl. Then much of tue business coming here from the West is now going intu elevator, because the time for the opening of navigation, when fower rates of transportation can be ob- tained, 1s gradually growing nearer, and hefore many days bave passed vessels will berin to takeon cargoes. Bestdes, the Misslssippl is now open gutn from St. Louis, end much of the business of fowa, Iilinals, and Indinna isdirected to that point to go to New Orleans via Gouid's Barge Lines. Such being the facts, it i8 not at all surprising that business should serfously fall off on the Eustern lines. Although the rates have been rensonably low this winter,—five cents less than jast winter, while the transportation expenses were much bigber,—yet it is not probable that -the present rates wiil be muintained more thun a month longer. As soon us business slackens freely and the roads have plenty of {die curs, competition between tho various roads will commenee, and rutes will begin to drop. The Eastern pooling arrangement will not keep tho rouds together any longer than there I3 enough business for all. Consequently the prospects for low rall rates next spring und summer are exceedingly tlatter- ing.

Mr. Hudson hag the reputation of being one of the most eflicient railroad Superintendents in the country, and he has mannged the atfairs of the Bultimore & Unlo in the West with signal’ skill and ability.
