The arrivals were few, but the departures were fewer d beuce all the hostelries were com- paratively crowded. Hardly a guest arrived in the evening, und those who reached the city had encountered sy little of the storm that they bad nothing to suy us to its severities. Thuse who arrived were hot more thun a few bours late, and those who did not arrive will not occupy the rooms they bud engaged by telezraph. There ‘was un embargo on trattic, ana the hotels were storm-bound in the same proportion as the rail- rouds. Mu. ChanLEes Hesnoris, the Belgian Consul, gave a dinner lust evening ut bis home.

JOSEPH’S DAY. terday was St. Joseph's Dany. and accord- ingly it was celebrated with que’ solemnity at the ‘Church of “St. Joseph, on the corner of North Market and Hill streets. In spite of the storm the church was well tilled with devout worshipers. The services consisted {n the cele- bration\ of Pontitical High Mass by Archbishop Feehun, assisted by Dr. McMullen. “The Re.-Rev. Bishop Leidenbusch, of St. Cloud, Minn., acted as orator, and preached an eluqueut sermon in German, Futbers Barrett and Corbinian were Dencons of Houor, Fathers Delancey. and Wolf- gang Deacons of Muss. Father Dowling Master of Ceremonies, and Father Swithert dodlartenu, Prior of the Parish, acted as Second Master of Ceremonies. The singing by tho choir of thirty voices, under Charles Rauber, was wonderful for its delicacy and cor- rectness in detail. The singing.in this church bas always been notable, and at yesterday's services it was exceptionuily so. Haydn's full mass in C was sung with effect. The so- pruno sliging was especially noticeable, Mrs. J. F. Dony rendering the ‘*{nflamimatus,” trom Rossini’s “Stabat Mater,” with precision and feeling. On the entrance of the Bishop, und while robing at the altar, the “Evce Sacerdo3” was sung, the second selection being Curto's “Regna Terre.” After the singing of the Gloria” and the full_mass, Charles Wirtscho- reck Bing the “Pro Peceatis" 2s a basso solo while the celebrants were retiring. The singing throughout was thoruughly creditable to the training which the choir have received. To- morrow is St. Francis’ Day, the natal duy of the patron saintof the Order of Franciscans, and will be celebrated ut the sane church with svl- emmn ceremonies. CRIMINAL COURT. ‘Thomas Considine, on trial for burglary, was acquitted. ‘Hermina Meyer plended guilty to larceny, and sentence was suspended, William Baker and John Gilbert pteaded guilty to burglury, and were remunded.

THE CITY-HALL. ‘Tre Registrar of Vital Statistics issued twen- ty-two burial permits. CONTROLLER GURNEY was too ill yesterday to come down town. wne City Clerk requests the j not returned the pull-books tal ‘Tuesday to do so at once, Tunex of the Council Committees were tobave met yesterday, Dut not one of them could geta quorum on account of the storm. es who have nh by them Tae Treasurer put into his cash-box $146,090, of which $10,0W cume from the South Town Collector, $44,726 from the Controller, and $1; from the Wuter Oltico. é ‘Tne Controller delivered $21,600 more of the per cent bunds, making $335,6u0 so far. There are sull on hand iw. All must be taken by the 26th, or those left over will be suld to the highest bidder. People who subscribed for tho Slws can get them, but the 35us will not be sendy until the middle or lutter part of this week, OnLy a few street-laborers were at work yes- terday, and they were looking after the sewer inlets.’ Should the snow turn into rain, all the available bands will be put into the ditches, in order tu clean them out. As soon as the storm is over, the breaking up of the ice will be com- menced and prosecuted until the business sec- tion at least is attended to. When the picking is done, Mayor Harrison hopes. the merchants will have the ice carted from in front of their stores. ‘mnis city is unable to du this, us the special ap- propriation of $15,0W 1s no more than enough to put the ice in a condition to be removed, CONTAGIOUS DISEASES. Not a case of smull-pox was reported yester- @ay.und the disease would seem to be dye out, as the total number of cases for the week was only fifteen, against thirty-tive for the pre- ceding one. There was one death in the cit: and two at the Hospital, where there are thirty two patients. The person attacked with small-pox at the Sheldon House, No. 503 West Madison street, was removed at once to the Hospital. und tha premises thurougaly disinfected, so that there jg ne cause for uny anxiety as faras fucure iu- fection is concerned. Dr. C. W. Fitch and Com- missioner De Wulf make this statement. Other contagious disexses ulso uppear to be disappearing, us but four cases of dipntheria— all ut No. 28 Clybourn avenue—und one of chicken-pox, at No, 182 Michigan avenue, came to the knuwledge of the Health Department. VIADUCT DAMAGES. z City-Attorney Grinnell says in his annual re- rt for 1875 “There are several suits pending against the city growing out of the building und construc- tion of the various viaducts. The property- owners at or near the respective viaducts claim +that, although thelr property tg not tuken for the improvement, it is damuged by reason there- of, and that under our present Constitution, which provides that ‘private property shall not ve taken or dumaged tur public use without just compensation,’ etc., they havea right not existing under the former Cunstitution, to such damages as they can prove. The case of Kigney vs. City fairly presented the question as te the meaning and scope of the word *dum- aged’; and, after argument, the Court instruct- ed che jury to the effect that it was a oon- actionable injury, and they must find for the city. This cuse stands oo ppeal, and will settle this vexed question, and if finally decided in favor of the property-owner will necessarily involve the payment of. u cunsidernble sun of money for compensation for the injury claimed, and which no doubt has been sustained in many instances.” "The Appellate Court sustained the decision of the Circuit Court, but word was received from Ottawa yesterday that the Supreme Court bad reversed it, scott, Shetdon, and Dickey dissenting. An application will be mude tor a rebearing. Shouid it be denied, the city will probably buve (fo pay a lurge amount of money if all the con- ‘tempiated Viaducts ure built, As to damages growing out of those alresdy constructed, in inost cases the statute of Lmitations bars any claim; as to the cthers, quite a number of suits are pending. and more will undoubtedly be brought. Higney owns a house on Kinzie street, which was cut off from Huisted by the north ap- proach to the viaduct. i TENEMEN T-HOUSES. FILTHY HOLES IN WHICH PEOPLE LIVE. ‘The striking out of the Appropriation bill by the Finance Committee of the salaries of the Workshop and Tenement-House Inspectors has given rise to much talk, as the work of these officials is certainly necessary and very bene- ficial to the community. In order to show what they do, the report of one of them is appended: “CHICAGO, March 18, 18S1.—Tu the Commis- stoner of Heath: Ward 10.—Where located, southeast corner Halsted and Lydia streets. ent, James H.

The Board of School Trustees of the ‘Towns of Hyde Park und Lake, met at No. 171 Randolph Street yesterday afternoon, to further consider the Jarrett defaication. and the bid of Mr, Sher- man for the purchase of Jurrett’s interest in the business of Jarrett & Sherman, whieh had been assigned to the Board. There were present Levi Moutgomery, President; J.T. Hayne: Graham, Secretary. and’ ‘reusuven, and Sebool Directors W. H. Rand, District 3; rus Coy und Ee. eoamer veer 2; and Charles H. Craw- . a ofDistriet, ip peared as attorney fur the Directors soon as the Board was called to ord Crawford said be was present in behalf of is and are entitied . Directors of District 7 to protest against the a ceptance of the bid of Mr. Sherman. The Di rectors and Trustees, be said, bad too little in: formation on the subject, and were dissatisfied with the appraisement; furthermore, the pro- posed sale for $11,000 included all of the assets of Jarrett, among whicb was an item of $13,000 incash. To make the sule as proposed would be unbusiness-like, be thought. If there was any cash it should be dispus -d of as such, and the remaining property should be reappraised. ‘The book-accounts of Mr. Jarrett, which. bad been turned over-to the Board, had been under- ynlued, and be wanted them gone over by an “expert” who would hot nppear, as tho late. “expert” ‘hid, as the advocate of Mr. Sherman in the sale. Then, again, it was not known whether Jarrett’s defalcation was $7,000 or $70,000, nor what use he put the money to. A more thorough examination into the whole matter could not fail to. throw some needed light upon the subject. In fact, it bad heen suggested to him that an examination of the books of Sarrett & Sherman might show that the.money bad ‘been used by the firm in their business, and if this proved to be so it could be recovered trom Mr. Sherman. Mr. Rand spoke of the uppraisement of the Jarrett property. and thought the buildings had been underestimated. He knew very little about the book-uccounts, but hud observed that one of Jarrett’s boudsmen was among his creditors. Mr. Coy thought the plain question was the getting of some one to buy the property and pay for it what ft was worth, and sugested that some one be appointed to go around and solicit bids. ‘Mr.Crawford did not think the property should be sola until {tg value bad been fully deter- mined. It might be worth $10,000 for all tho Bourd knew. From this an informal talk followed about the best means to be udopted to get at the condition of Mr. Jarrett’s accounts with the Board, in which it appeared that the trouble bud been that the District Directors bad failed to respond to inquiries made of them on the subject, Mr. Gray, the “expert,” bowever, wns reported as working out the enizma slowly but surely and with reasonable success. Tho defaleation in District No. 1, for instance, had been ascertained to be about $20,000, ana the books of the other districts were being overhauled as fast as they could be gotten bold of. It appenred, also. that Superintendent Lane was lending 2 bund in the investigation, but 80 far no results had been attained because be bad pot had time to compare the Directors’ ac- counts with those of Mr. Jarrett. ‘The result of the meeting was that it was agreed not to sell the property until more hight had been gained, aud to this end Mr. Gray wits authorized to go over the books of Jurrett & Sherman ut once, and in the meuntime an ef tort would be made to t reports from all of the Directors as to Jarrett’s uccounts as late ‘Treasurer of the Board. The value of the as- signe property being established to the satis- faction of all concerned, the iden uppeared to be to sell ft to the bighest bidder, and if its worth could, not be realized in this way the next move. it was indicated, would be for tho up- pointinent of a Receiver. The Board adjourned until April 6 at the same place. GLUCOSE. YTS RELATION TO HEALTH AND ADULTERATION. ‘Ata meeting of the Philosophical Society last night at the Palmer House, Prof. W.S. Halaes, of Rush Medical Coltexe, read 2 deeply interest- ing paperon that much-talked-of subject, *Glu- cose.” He said that the apparently popular idea that this article was deleterious and even poisonous was a pure fallacy, just as it was 2 fallacy to belleve that burd water was more nu- tritious than soft, or that beef tea, as ordinarily made, was strengthening to the body. Glucose was’ made principally from corn, or, rather, from the starch to be found in corn. ‘It was made by extracting the starch and then submitting that starch to the action of suiphuric acid. After the chemical action had tuken place, the starch being con- verted into glucose, the ucid was neutralized by adding chalk or marble dust to tho general com- pound, whicb would then be composed of glu- cose and sulphate of time, the latter a perfectly harmless article. But, barmiess though the sulphate of lime was, the glucose would not mix with it, but remained at the top, and could be drawn otf. ‘As to the gincose itself, it was composed of hydrogen, oxygen, aud carbon,—Just what cane sisrar was composed of.—thouzn in slightly different quantities. The ditference be- tween cane sugar and glucose, so far us the body was concerned, was this: Giu- cose. when eaten, went directly into circuladion througbout the body, giving it flesh and strengib, but cane sugar, when eaten, had first to be converted into glucose. before it could circulate. In other words, the body demanded glucose and the chemical acids of the stomach made glucose in large quantities from bread, fruits, and almost every variety of food. But it was claimed by the alarmists that quan- tities of the sulphate of lime were to be found in glucose. This mixbt be true in some cases, but what of {t? Sulphate of time was perfectly burmless, and could be found in large quan ties in all waters uscd in the manufact- ure of the great Engilsh ules and beers. Any one who drank a ginss of Buss’ or Allsop’s ale took into bis system a larger quantity of sulphute of lime than could be found in the same quantity of glucose sirup. ‘Again, it hud ceeo clulmed that sulphuric acid in a free state bad been found in glucose. Chemists who clnimed this did not know their business. 1n the tirst pluce, the presence of the free acid would injure the appuratus of the manufacturer toa frightful extent and would color tho glucose and greatly deteriorute trom {ts commercial yalue. Therefore | selfish motives alone induced the manufacturer to use about twice as much marbie- dust to neutralize the acid us was really necessary. The conclusion was, then, that glu- cose was Very valuable ag a nutritious article of food, and the time would come, or shoutd come, when it would be used for ordinary purposes instead of sugar. It would cost only three or four, ur_ perhaps two, cents 1 pound, and was fully naif as sweet as pfire cane sugur, LOCAL ITEMS.

Wasnixertoy, D. C., March 15,—It was not merely to see and hear the Greek service, or because it was an Emperor’s requiem, that many Americans attended at the Russian Legation to-day, but merely because of tne memory of those awful years of our ‘Civil War, when the skies were so dark at home, and the outlook so black over the sea, and the name of Alexander IL was-the chief one that kept English and French intervention at bay, and his friendship the only one stanch and true among the great Powers of Europe. Tho house of the Russian Legation faces west, and the bright sunshine lay warm on the bruad doorstep, over which hung heavy masses of black drapery. Under these those attending passed into the hall-reoms, lighted softly, and filled with the odor of incense. The front parlor was hung with black from the ceiling to the floor; the chandelier was veiled incrape, At the west end of the room stoud an altar covered with black cloth bor- dered with a band of silver. ‘Two tall lighted candles were, on this altar, and in front of it and facing it stood Father Byering and an assistant priest, both in heavy black, silver-bordered gowns, with crape scarfs on their shoulders and arms. Standing around the altar in a semi-circle were the wives of the foreign Ministers and the ladies of their households, all in black, and just back of them the Ministers themselves, with their at- tachés of legation, in striking contrast to the rest of the scene. ‘Their epaulets and buttons gleamed through their thin covering of crape, and the scarlet and guld of their uni- forms were gay in suite of black scarfs, A few carried plumed hats in their hands, and their breasts were covered with orders and medals, ‘Phe service was chanted alternately by the lowly and in low melodious tones, the stranzeness of the language and the mi- nor notes of the music producing an effect much like that of the Catholic mass. Fre- quently Father Bjering, as_ he chanted, turned from the altar and raised the Greek cross tor a moment, and then resumed his tormer position. Occasionally through the music the name “Alexander Nikolaie” could be distinguished, and the broad sound given to the ‘a,” with the slow rising inflee- tion on that part of the nanie, produced a S weird moaning effect that was very impressive. Suddenly, as all listened, the chanting suddenly ceased, © and in our own — English, broken only by foreign utterance, spoken slowly and solemnly, came the familiar words, heard so often, over our own dead, “Verily, verily, I say. unto you, he that heareth my words and believeth in Him that H sent me hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation, but is passed from death unto life. Marvel not at this, for the hour is coming in_ which all thatare in the grave shall chear His vorce, and shall come forth, they that have done good until the resurrection of life, and they that have done evil unto the resurrection of damnation. I can of mine own self do nothing, as I hear and judge, and my judgment is just, because 1 seek not imine own will, but the will of the Father which hath Following these voices came the mi chanting for a few moments, and the servi were ended. ‘The priest turned and shook hands with several of the legation, and the company passed into the back rooms, talking softly as iteame. All the Russian Legation were in mournmg. The wife of the French Minister also was dressed in crape, and Lady Thornton in a_quiet None were in colors. ‘Che Turkish Minister was in his uniform and red fez. The Chinese Ambas- sador in his national dress. ‘ -Among these, head and shoulders above most of them, dressed in plain black, his fine head with its gray hair which would attract attention anywhere, stood Secretary Blaine, and not far trom him Robert Lincoln, While the requiem was chanted for the greatest emancipator of slaves in the far East, slain by an assasin,‘ the son of the great- est emancipator of slaves in the West, slain. by an assasin also, must have had strange thoughts crowdmy in with the sad and bitter memories of that time. EX-SENATOR ARMSTRONG. Closing Scene In His Trial at St. Louts —He Is Declared Not Guilty by the Jury—Closing Remarks of the Defend- ants Attorney. E ‘Spectat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. st. Louris, Mo., March 19.—The closing scene in the trial of David Hf. Armstrong, ex-United States Senator and ex-Police Com- missioner, was witnessed this afternoon by a large audience in the Court of Criminal Cor- rection. Mr. Armstrong was charged with nonfeasance in oftice while holding the posi- tion of Vice-President of the Police Board. The charge in brief consisted of his paying no attention to a report made by one special officer concerning the action of another who was employed on lottery cases. The non- action of Mr. Armstrong, some thought, was due to the influence of propri- etors of the lottery schemes. hence the fimportance of the suit. ‘The trial has lasted three days, and to-day the arguments were heard. Col. J. C. Normile was attorney for the distinguished defendant. Col. Nor- inile was once Congressional Librarian, and studied law with Tom Corwin, Le is looked upon as the leading criminal attarney here. Jie said to-day that, in all his professional eareer, he had never seen or heard of such an unprecedented and extraordinary case a3 the one then befure the jury. He prefaced his address to the jury with an excellent in- troduction, reviewimy history where the pur- est were persecuted for failure to unite with the mob, showing where the best men were guillotined for not erying “ Long live the Re- i He asked if a repetition of these ed in St. Louis, and ig 3 what was not a violacion of any law. He spoke at length on the character of the wit- nesses, and asked that, if his character was and the 515 convicts he sent to the wy were to be called against him, what consideration would be given the testimony? He asked that the jury would not disgrace the man who si beside the great men of the Nation in the Na tion’s council, and that, without leaving their sents, they would discharge him, . ‘The in- dictment of Missouri’s ex-Senator had been wired all over the Nation, and he asked that the old man be discharged at once, and that it would go all over the country that he was acquitted his jurors without discussion. In conclusion, he said he asked nothing for his client for his public services, but warned. not to rob Mr. Armstrong of his good name. Conscious of the innocence of his client, he had accepted the jury without challenging a single man, He was willing to submit the case to _jury without argu- ment and let them take it. without further say. ‘Che jury, after a brief retirement, re- turned a verdict of not guilty. — - cr DRUNKENNESS.
