THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDAY. APRIL 10, 1881 WVENTY PAGES. Now it came to pass in the month of the year when Carter Harrison was re-elected | Mayor Q‘f that great city Chicago, that the snows of winter did not disappeai', even until the summer had come, and the people were sore vexed as to what manner of raiment should they wear, even so much so that a convening of the nation was made at that spot by the sea whereon is to stand Memorial Building, and they did come up from the South (Side) and the West (Side) and the North (Side) in many thousands, and from among their nhumber did they select three wise men to meditate upon this all-important matter,and to say which of these many dealers in purple and fine linen should be blessed with the trade of the nation, and they, after four-and-twenty hours did speak unto the people in manner following: One Methusaleh Washington did narrate how he and his tribe had from their swaddling clothes even to old age heen accustomed to exchange their shekels for raiment at Harvey's, and that the robe in which he spake had been his sole garment all his days, and had not yet waxed old. Next came one Solomon Conklin, who like Solomon of old stood great in faver among the fair maidens and matrons because of his grandeur, and thus spake ha: Oh! people, many years have ye praised me, and yet was it not all vanity, because of the magnificence of my raiment, Oh! ye perverse and degenerate nation, know ye not all praise is due my robe-maker, “Harvey.” . Then up spake Lazarus Cameron (better known as Don): For many seasons have |, forwant of shekels, been forced to walk the market place in search of garments made of fine lamb’s wool, for little money and for little price, and journeyed | in vain until | came even unto this man Harvey. So, after these men had made an end to speaking, the people did all rise up, and with one voice said they, Let us follow the words of these wise men this day heard, and let us establish urito our houschoid the law i that all the raiment for ourselves, our children, and our children’s children, en account of its durability, style, and price, buy we of ho Tent is at 84 and 86 STATE-ST. down the rivér, toleave every night und return MILLINERY.

Then, not loug afrer Churchhouse reached New York. he says that Wilson wrote him letter 8urng it would be unsafe for him to_return to Itugo, as the detectives were on his track for thedebt he had contracted, and Churchhouse, ¥ho upnears to be somewbst simple-minded, Temalned in New York from fear of the otlicers. Henntime M. W. Kerwin, the_liquor-dealer, at- lached some of the saloou stock on the debt, &0d Wilson got it back ona writ of replevin, and 2150 got 1 judement of $15 aminst Kerwin or damages. The attachment suit had been a r"kht against Churchbouse, but Wilson had efeuted it Ly showing the bill of zale, and Swearing that the slock was now his. But now comes Mr. Churehihouse from New York, after having been nssured by an attorney that be nced bave no fear of the detectives, aud has Wilson arrested for perjury in huving sworn that the stock wns his. Ata late hour vesterday after- noon Wilson was waiting in Justice Brown's Court for bondsmen. COUNTY AFFAIRS. The Jail and the Criminal Court—Sonte Nice Legal Points, Charles Baker, who was brought to the jail some dars ago with a badly lacerated arm—the work of his own Bunds—wns yesterday removed tothe County Hospltal. His condition is re- garded ns precarious. Addison Schuell, who was held by the Coronor for his connection with the recent Wabash av- enue murder, wus yesterday admitted to bail in the sum of §1,000. The murier occurred at his saloon. It will be remembered, and be is charged with aiding the murderer to escape. His bonds- men are Leonurd Rothgarber and M. C. Me- Donald. ColL. Brown, of. Lemont, was around yestorday protesting agalnst the issuance uf a certiicate of ¢lection 1o Willian Cummings, of that town. As Constable. e cluims that Cummings does notiivein the town, and, furthermore, thut tho certiticate should bo issued to Mr. Shuhy, tho Itepublican candidate, whom he claims was duly clected. His protest wiil bo considered when Cummings uppears to gualify. Judge Hawes yesterdny entered an order for the sutumoning of the April Grund Jury 10 re- port Wednesday. There 1s 0o _explanation of the calling uf the jury utso early a day in tho term, but it is surmised that the motion pend- ing 1o quash the Van Hollen fdictweut has somethims to do with it. ¢ The jury in the case of Frederick Grimm. fo- dicted for manslsughter.—driving over a little girl on Archeravenueand killing her,—returncd a verdict of guilty yesterday worning. and fixed his fuiprisonment it one year in the Peniten- tiary. A motion for a new trial wus catered, and the prisoner wasadmitted to bail ia the sum of $5,000. 3 The County Committce on Charitids were try- mg to find out vesterday what had become of twenty-three bali-tons of conl which Chamber- lain, the cuntiactor, charged for last montn. but the vouchers for which cannot be found. There is 2 mistuke somewhere, und the Committee will not uudit tho bill until the error s rectitied. The Committee on Town and "Town Accounts sterday afterncon and audited out-door relict bills amounting to $9w. Of this amount Lemont got $5w,—pretty good evidence that there has been au efection “there recently. A resolution {s pending {n the County Bourd nbol- izbing all out-door relief, but_action has been deferred until July 1. _If it passes the county will save ¥12.00 or $15000 n_year,—most of which i3 expended for grocories by Town Super- visors to secure votes. Sam Morgan, the chief in the nallezed con- spirucy case at the Stock-Yards, was_expected from St. Louis lost night upon. n requisition. Tho case 18 set for trial to-morrow. and a great deul of interest §s being manifested in it by a certain order of cheap politiciuns. Motlons for delny are expected, of course, but tiie prosecu- tion will force a trial if possible. Three more spocimens delbert Reinke's bandiwork enme to light yesterduy in the shape of *raised” tax-certificates.” They were in _ the possession of C. L. Stebbins, und each one Was, raised F1w, which wns ascertnined by comparing them with the books of the County Ulerk’s otlice. A description of the property involved could Dot be obtained, nor could wny particulars be gotten at beyond Stebbing snying that he pro- cured them from a third paity. Stebbins bas beretofore been disinclined to prosecute Reinke, ‘but it is understood that his baviug been nipped for the $3u0 above bus changed bis mind. POSSIBLE IMPRISONMENT FOR LIFE. The habeas corpus case of Mike Brunsfeld, heretofore alludea to in these columns, came up before Judge Hawes yesterday. The facts, in brief, ure that Brunsfeld was in February round, in the Criminal Court, to be tho father of an illegitimate child, and the penalty imposed was that he should contribute the stut- utory amount of mouey 1o the support of the youngster, which he has not only failed o do, ‘but has atso failed to give boud to do it at an; future time, sctting up his inability as a de e Under Lhese circumstances the mother of the child caused bis grrest some days ago, which he foltowed up with a petition for releuse on writ of habeas corpus. Thomas Walsh appenred for the mother in the case, and first moved to quash the writ, admit- tin, for the suke of argument, tho truth of the allegations of the petition. 'The grounds on which the motion was based was the absence of any statute directly providiog for thé discharge of a prisoner convicted of bustardy, except Ly his compliance with the judement of the Court requiring wbond tosecure tho pay- ment to the mother of the sum of mofiey men- tioned fo the Bastardy act. He arrued that Sec. 435 of the Crimiual Code afforded no_relief, for the relator was not contined for any fine or costs of prosecution for & criminal offense, Sce. 36 of the Bapeas Corpus act, he coutended, did not apply because the case in question was not one of a prisoner hield for contempt of court, and authoritles were cited tending 0 o3tablish’ this view. M. Crafts appeared for the relator (Mike Brunsfeld), and cluimed that the case wusone of contempt, and was clearly covered by Sec. 35 ot the Habeas Corpus net, which provided for tha allownnce of the writ under the elrcumstances, The refator had been imprisoned for contempt of Court in the nou-performunce of nu or- dor. for tho payment of money, and in support _of this position a recent decision of Judgo Tipton, of Bloomineton, 1n n precisely skmilar case, was prosented, which was elalmed To be the only decision in this Stute directly In potnt. It was further urzed that if the Habeas Corpus act atforded no relief to a de- fenduntin o case of tne kind, who, wfter co viction, was utterly unable to furnish the re- quired bond, be would have to suffer confine- meat for the term of his natoral life. Stute's-Attorney Mills presented the opinion of Judge Tipton, which was ull hie bud been able to Hind bearing directly on the case, aud the Court announced that he would take the legnl phases of tho subject presented under ndviscment. For the sako of convenience, however, wit- nesses wero subsequently heard in sul don of the alleations of the petition, bility o the relntor.—preliminury to tho future decision on tho legal questions fuvolved in the cuso. THAT TAX-LIST. Mr. Hesing Renews the Charzo of Core Tne TRIBUNE published yesterday a letter from Mr. A. C. Hoslng, printed in the Sleals- Zvitung, in which be stated that Mr. Palwer, then of tho Inter-Ocean, hud asked him to use his Influence with County Treasurer Miller to et the printing of the tax-list for the Inter- Occan, which he did; and that subsequently when the Grand Jury were investigating the subject he kept his mouth shut, althourh he j:ol\llld have sent Blessrs.

I never spoke to Mr. Miller, nor Mr. Heslng, nor to any of their triends, to fn- duce the publication of the tax-list in the Inter- Ocean. At that time 1 was simply an employéof the Inter-Occan, and my business was entirely in tne oflice. ‘Tho position of business munuger was held by another person.
