A REPORTER of THE TRIBUSE yesterdny calied on Gen. Anson Stager, who is i1 the clty for a few days. and questoned him relative to 1he rumors that he was to take charge of the new Chicaro opposition tetegraph company. ‘Gen. Stager said that if any such movement wis on foot he was not uware of it He was unwill- ing to say what would be his decision sbould any such Invitation be received. Not baving even heard of the rumors, he was naturally un- willing to commit himself. Max1E LAMONT, an inmate of & house of {li- Tawe on State strect, attempted to commit sui- cide at 6 o'clock last evening by takinz lauda- num. Dr. Levi was called io, &nd, after administering 10 her emetics and untidotes, pronounced ber cut of danger. and recom- maended ber removal to the Copnty Hospital, Upon recovering conscionsness there, shic alleged that she took no poison, but had been kicked in the abdomen by William Seymour, the keeper of the rancbe in which ghe was a boarder.—a very uglikely story. She is u Swedish woman ot about 25 years, and bears & bad reputadon, this being tho third time she has attempted suicide by luudanum. THE attorneys of the parties concerned have for some time’ past boen workingzon Doyle, the counterfeiter, to induce him to give up some of the good money which he had ut the time of his arrest, which amounted fo Mr. Jack, the representative of the Peo i visited tho city and succeeded in inducing Doyle 10 turn over the money now in the hends of the Uuited States Marshal. The buck’s claim is §&.00, and the -claim of the other judgment creditors amounts toas much more. The money is to be divided_equitably, and thus the bank, through Mr. Jack's eadeavors, will suffer oniy one-balf jts original loss. This negotiation seeins to buve been conducted outside of the Government of- 1lcers, and it result in no assured mwmunity to Doyle. THUNDER AND LIGHTNING. Yesterday there wans the first thunder-storm of the season. It rained during the morning for about twenty minutes with great force and fury. ‘Luckily the sewer openipgs were all in good con- dition, und the gutters pretty generally opencd, S0 that the large quantity ot water which fell xenerally run off, except iu some sections of the West >ide. During the ¢vening there was an- other thunder-storm. but not asheavy & one as that eurlier in the day. T'ur. ibaw and the 1ain have rendered naviga- don z in the southwestern section of the city, but mnade locomotion dungerous at night, cspecialiy upon those streets where there Rre nd gas-lights. The southern portion of Ashland avenue is_cut of from Dlue lsland avenue by a -small sea that has formed on the prairie between them. louses in the south- Fostorn pordon of the Sixin Ward are sur- younded by water, and sidewalks are atloat. The Geep ditches alongside of the plank sidewaiks . are dangerous t any luckless pedestrian who . may bappen to tumbie or slip into them. Long detours - have to be made to get-fron some of the bouses and streets to the horse- railroads. A flood similar 1o those that have heppened in former years IS likely to ensue in 1kat portion of the city. unless there is an earls chanye in the atm.ospberc. Mud Lage and tributary ditches are in shape foran overtow, ;h-t may cause much damage and inconven- ence. G CENTRE AVENUE VIADUCT. - A meeting was held last evening at Xo. 551 Centre avenue by _thg---psuperty-owners in- terested in the construction of a viaduct over the railroad tracks at the crossing of Centre avenue nad Sixteenth street. Mr. H. T. Collins oceupied the chair. - ¥ Resoluticns were adopted to the effect that the citizens an Centre avenue and adjoining streets, having borne with great patlence the want of a vinduct at the intersection of Centre avenue and Sixteenth street, unanimously ask the Council to make the necessury approprintion for coustructing one immediately. Also that the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy end the North- western Railroads, which faid twenty trucks in continuous succession on Sixteenth strect, leav- ing no rpace between them for pedestrinns to stnid or teams to wait, should cheertully col erate with the clty in-the construction of the structure. The Secretary of the mecting was fnstructed 1o muil copy of the resolutionsto each alder- man, with the request that his attention be giv- en to the petition for a viaduct. e A committee of twenty-five was appointed to present tho petition to the Council, with power 10 nnme a sub-committee. They were also in- structed to cojperata with the lumbermen. DIED AT THE POOR-HOUSE.

Mr. Cottle, of the celebrated firm of Cottle & Co., which does business at Chicago and at Dal- ton, met with a dressing-down yesterdny that will probably discourage him for a time from dragging business firms from this city to his country office. Some time ago, the firm brought suit acainst a tenmster in the cmploy of W. P. ftend & Co. Nobody went out to Dalton to at- 1end to this sult, judgment was obtained. and Rend & Co. were garnisheed about a month ngo. A representative of the firm went out to Dal- ton, and showed that there was not 350 due the teamster at that time, and that, therefore, there was no foundation for the proceedings. Not- withstandiog this, however, o second suit was begun, and another notice was served on the firm to appear before the Justice ut Dalton. The only person who went out yesterduy—the time when the case was set for hearing—was the teamster in queston. le taok out some afli- duvits from the taembers of the firm that noth- ing was due him, which disposed of the ciase. Ou'the way back to the city, while the train was stopping at Thornton Station, Cottle invited the teumster to kill the time by playing n game of cards with bim. This invitation, coming as it did from a man who bad been hounding und an- noying him snd drazging him all over the coun- 1y Tor months without any cause, was too much for the teamster, who feil upon Mr. Cottle, black- cd his cyes, punched bis bead, and knncked him- off the car. Mr. Cottle at firsi, when ejected, threatened to shoot the man, but afterwards thought better of it, and slipped around to the end of the train, got ioto the buggage car, and came back to town as quictly as ble. All tho passengers were greatly izhted, and offered to puy the teamster’s fine in cuse crimi- ual proceedings wero begun against him. It is doubt<ul whether any little thing could give as much general plessure us_this demolition of Cottle. The counti number of people whom he hus tormented will be greatly delighted when they read of this poundiug, which has ofzen been threatened him but which he has never before received. A LEGAL SQUABBLE. THE GREAT DEXTER-PECKHAM ROW. A reporter heard yesterdey-that there bad been alittle difliculty on the previous day between Mr. Wirt Dexter and Mr. Orville Peckham, of the firm of Peckham & Brown. The story, asit comes from a person who professed to have it from a clerk in Mr. Dexter’s oflice, was that Mr. Peckham had called there upon some business, and during the course of the conversution had been very insolent to Mr. Dexter; that that gen- tieman_hud ordered bim out, and that he hud struck Mr. Dexter, punisbing bim scverely, and thercupon had been forcibly put out by the clerks in the otfice. During the afternoon- 8 reporter called on Mr. Peckbam, at his oilice in the First National Bank. to obtain his version of the affuir. The gentlemun was averse to siying unything about the matter at first, but finally gave a full ac- count of tho ** unfortunate utfuir.” _Some time ago the German-American Bank of New York City sold u plece of property here, and, as the First Nationnl Bank was one of its correspondents, it had been requested as a favor o take churge of the watter and transfer the property to the grantee on receipt of half the consideration i cush and a mortgaye for the other half. It was als requested that the mortgage should be submitted to the attorneys of the bank, Messrs. Dexter, Herrick & Allen, for approval before it was recorded here. Mr. Gage, the President of the First Nadonal, was about to clese the transaction Thursday, when Mr. Peckham asked him if the moriguge had been shown to the attorneys. Some one in the oflice volunteered the information that Mr. Her- rick had passed upoun it, and Mr. Peckham was re- quested 1o take the document to the Recorder's office. Mr. Gage had suggested to him that he might step in at the office of the attorness on his way, and sce that everything wag all right, He called at she office, a3 requesteq, and_dis- covered that Mr. Dexter was the only one of the firm present. Handing him the mortzage, he asked him whether or not it wasall right,and he told Mr. Peckhbam to take the docuwent to his partner, 3r. Herrick, who wasat that time in the Federal Court. Mr.Peckham sald be did not bave time to go there at that time. and requested Mr. Dexter 1o send one ot his clerks with it or ot examine the handwriting of the mortguge tosee whoether it had been written by um"oue lnshefl oflice. At this Mr. Dexter fiared up ana said he did not wish to told when to attend to his business. Then Mr. Peckham informed him dmt_‘hc should write to the Germun-American Bauk_and tell the Presideat that he bad sub- mitted the mortgage to Mr. Dexter for his ap- 1 and it had been refused. Mr. Dexter Ehr:;a“ld if he wrote such a lerter he would write onc to the bank saying that Mr. Peckbam hnd lied. 3ir. Peckum ther informed bim that if he did so he would be the liar, and Bir. Dexter started to strike him, and ordered him out of bis office. Compelled to' defend himself, he struck Mr. Dexter twice, but not very hard. ‘Mr. Peckham stated that be was not excited in the least, and had never lost his temper during the interview. Moreover, he did not think ho had Leen impertinent, and if he bad been it was quite unigtentional. . He did not_deny that the clerks had put him out of tho office, and a wark on hig forehead up- held the theory that he received some rough usage during the *interview.” It is stated that toe clerks were rather violent, one of them re- markink, * We will teach you not to come around this oftice bulldosing.” LOCAL ITEMS.

Onward the March of Xnventive Genlus Keeps Pace with the Enterprise of the Present Age. Aud now Yaunkee ingenuity has mastered the problem in a strictly mechanical invention for overcoming friction o the bearings of revolv- ing-shaft axles. . Wonderful inventions have come into general use during the past few years withsuch rapidity —pruducing such wonderful effects ang of such umyersal value—that one can scarcely expect to realize what muy notcome next., The present fovention, which Is now on ex- hibition by the Nadunal Auti-Friction Car-Box Compuny, at their oflices on the first tloor in tho Nadonal Life Building, Nos. 157 to 163 Ln Sulle street, certainly mects one of the greatest necessities, and, if all their claims are sustained. it must prove one of the most profituble this country has ever seen. Everywhere that a shaft or axle revolves, re- gardless of its size or weight, the invention of Mr. tangley is applicable,—oil and waste, and more tban 100 per cent in motive power, is saved: bot buxes impossible; delays and ac- cidents avoided. The above Company are maklog active preparanions to manufacture these ant-friction bearings for application to car-nxles, shafting, wugon-wheels, aund all kinds of machinery. DEEDS, NOT WORDS. In these days of close competition in all classes of business, how many of our read- ers are from day to day approached by the agents of-life-insurance companies, each in the race for patronage, urging with all the powers of eloquence which those gentlemen are popularly supposed to possess. this or that special feature, said to belongexelusive- 1y to the company represented by him. We believe that to the average business- man life is too short to closely investigate all the companies and all the plans presented, and that it is by theirdeeds, and not by prom- ises or words, they must be tried as to their worthiness. We therefore have, for the guidance of the community, given, the sub- Ject careful attention, and we insert in an- other column, as the result of our inqguiries, which have extended overa broad field, a few of the actual payments made by the Mu- tual Life-Insurance Company of New York in this city alone, within the past year, some of which we have viewed with surprise, and will, we think, in themselves, commend this great Company to public favor. We have examined their report for the year ended Dec. 31. 1830, and find their condition somewhat marvclous, their assets exceeding $9L000,000, placine it by many miliions of dullar_s ahead of the largest financial institu- tions in the world, while its premiuwms are 15 per cent less than any other company. All its . policies are non-forfeitable. after three anniial payments, and no just claim has ever been resisted by it in faef, and in short. we believe that it possesses every feature, with the exception of speculative ones, which it wholly avoids, that every prudent man seek- ing Tor an investment for himself or 1o make sure provision for his fawily ‘after his dacease may, with the utmost confidence, avail himself of. CRIMINAL NOTES.

After n great deal of troubte Mike Bauer was located in Roum 38, Parker Block, at the corner of Halsted and Mad- ison streets, where he was living with his mis- tress, Sadic Furmer. - Tho place was shadowed duy and night, and justus tho police were about to efect Bauer's cupture he eluded them by Jumping out of n second-story window, Several mghts_later Officers stcCabe and Wuiton were fortunate enough to capture Bauer, together with_ two cowpanions, numed Joseph fwohey and Jobn Leonard. Tho latter wus arraigned Friday upon n churge of vagraney, but was dischnrged; nothing could be pioved against him. Tsohey is the son of reputabie people at Juliel, and only came to town the week before his urrest. A The prisoner Bauer bas been in close conflne- ment ut the West Lake Street Station during the week, and the utmost secrecy has been main- wined concerning the arrest in the hope that some evidence sufticlent to_cenvict could be gotien against him. The rocovery of the plunder, or any portion of It, would” have an- Bwered this purpose very well. The cfforts of the policc in this dircction have met with no success, and the prisoner Bauer will most likely be taken into court to-morrow. The only evidence against him 18 his identitica- tion by Mr. Wise ns the'man who wus with Su le Farmer when she entered the store the day be- fore the burglary and looked at tho siiks and satins which were stolen the next night. This identificadon wus positive, notwitbstanding the fact that Bauer had shaven his fuce cléun be- tween the time of the visit to tho store and the time of his arrest. One great zood has been accomplished in his arrest: the burglaries in the preefuct hnve be- comie less frequent, nnd the police are thorough- 1y awakeneu to the necessity of patrolling their posts carefully e ———— ST, CAROLINE'S COURT HOTEL now has the handsomest dining-room in the city, it being one of the many improvements made by the new proprietor, Gen.

It certain- 1y retlects great credit both on the publishers who lssuc such an atlas and on the city in which 1t is printed. Nothing can better show the rapid growth of the country than a.comparison of this-Atlas with Inst yéar's *edigion, which - contained 230 pages, and indexed 3400 towns.

No list of mailing-places such as this bas ever been published, und the infor- matlon it gives is not even in the possession of the Post-Office Depnrtment. These are only a few items out of the mass of valuable informa- tion contained in the Atlas, which toe publishers suy they will be able to deliver in the early part of next month. — —————— THE NEW COUNTY COURT-HOUSE. In spite of all adverse criticism there Is no doubt but that the Cook County Court-House is, us it stands, the finest building in this country far the amount of muney expended, and reflects credit on the people and the Commissioners. The general idea of perfection is going to be carried out in the furnishings und fittings. The Inst contract was let to Juo. W.

These consist of about 25,000 record boxes, 10,000 book ‘Tacks, 2,000 drawers, locker cases, iron bookeases, ete., ete. The samples furnished by Mr. Norris, being the Dbest in point of strengh, utility, and cconomy of vault space, he was awarded the contract.ns belng the best and cheapest; though other bids were less, the quatity of their work was not what was required. We congratulate the coun- ty and the various county courts on this out- come of the protracted contest for thiz contract. e —e———— A NEW CHIiCAGO FIRM.

PERPETUAL MOTION. The Cause of NMoris Mulfer’s Death. The body of the suiclde,Morls Milller was yesterday identitied ns Moris Cohen, or rather Simonl, which name he assungd in Hun- gary, bis birtbplas prior to coming to this country. The identitication waus made posi- tive by brother of the deceased, Dr. L Coben, of No. 6% Milwaukeo avenue, who received within a day or twoa farcwell letter dated last Wednesday, and bearing his brother's full sig- nature. In'this his intentfon ot ending his life was plainly announced, and in o huzy manner the causcs which led thereto were detuiled. Morls-was about 6 yeurs of nge, nnd_had been in tho couiitry about seven years. He wasa clever artisan, and mizht buve made a good liv- e and a_comfortuble home for bimself and family hud it not been for séveral curious notions he hitl coneerning the aim of life. Morcover, he hud for years been an enthusiastic believer in the possibility of perpetusl motlon, and he had spent a great deal of time and money in trylng to perfect his machice. Brietly, his in- veation consisted of an oversnot waecl, the friction of whose axis in turning wuas reduced us nearly as possibie to a mininum, and {3 was designed to keep the wheel in motion by small bulls of metal, instead ot nrunning stream, By a curious littie arrungement the momentum of the wheel was to furuish the power for recon- veying ench of these balls bick to its original stirting-point s soon s it bnd dropped out of its pocket on the outer edge of the whaeel. After yeurs of tcaious study Coben perfected his machine theoretically, and proceeded to muke o practical demonstration with a smail model which he had made after drawings furnished by himself,” The machine failed to work. of course, and the inventor, who had in- tended to duzzie the world with a perpetunl-mo- don mnchive, the simplicity of which was its most unazing feature, began to grow morose and’ disconsolate. He renewed bis cfforts to overcome the ditliculty, and finally announced to his friends with considerable pride, mingled with disappointment, that the machine wus per- feet, with thu exception of a single little screw which could not possibly be dispensed with, and which wagat the same time the only obstucle that must be overcome. He went crazy in try- inr to eolve this subsidinry problem, and his mnlady was incrensea by the culmination of do- mestic ditticulties which led his wite in the old country to apply for a divorce. Cohen must huve contemplated sulcide at & wouth ugo, tor he Ingisted on huving his life-insurance policies wmade over in favor of nis brother the dactor, thus debarring his wifo and family. These policies are simply titles to membershlp in a couple of mutual-uid associ~ tions,one of which pays $2.000 or thereabouts, and the other $1,00. Several associations of the kind in the- State pay in cases of sulcide us in other cases of deuth, but this is voluntary, as every member is always required upon joining. the #issocintion to sien an wreeement that he will ser his life, nor take it him- seif. ided opposidon to payiug anythingin the of Colen, and & sharp con- test will be the result. ————— SMALL-POX.
