THE OLD AND NEW. PHILIP SCHAFF, D. D., IN THE “NORTIC 5 AMERICAN REVIEW.” The Rev. Philip Schatf, one of the American company who were engaged in the revision of the New Testament, contributes to the North Amnerican Review an interesting article on The Old Version and the New,” from which Tue TRIBUNE culls the following extracts: ‘The authorized Knglish version, so called, although it was never properly authorized either by King or Parliament, or convocation, but simply by usage.—had ite birth inthe Hamp- ton Court Conference, held in January, 164. In that noble palace, built neurly one hundred years before by Cardinal Wolsey, on the banks of the Thames, and presented to Heury Vi, there assembled in th2 presence of King James, and at his invitution, Archbishop Whitgift, of Canterbury, Bishop Bancroft. of London, seven other Bishops, and eight Deans on the part of the conservative Coutormists, and four teaders uf the progressive Puritan’ purty, with the lJearued Dr. John Reynolds, of Oxford, to con- + fer about the burning questions which agitated the then undivided Churen of England. The King acted both as Moderator and Judge, and lost no chance 10 display bis leara- ing and wit during the debate. He rude ly rejected every petition of the Puritans, using as his finul argument: “ f will make them conform themselves, or else] will harry them outof the land, or else do worse.” By don ‘worse, he meant, “just hang them. that is all. ‘This was his short method wita dissenters. In one point, however, he yielded to the ob- noxious Puritans, notwithstanding the protest of the Bishops. This was the revision of the Bishops’ Bible, which had, from Queen Eliza- beth’s time, been usedin ull the churches of England, while the Geneva Bible of 156) was the favorit version of the common people in their families. ‘Dr. Reynolds, the real mover of the enterprise, isdescribed by Anthony Wood asa prodigious scholar, who “nad turned over all writers, profane, ecclesiastical, and divine, ull the councils, fathers, and histories of tho church.” He was commissioned as one of the translutors of the company which nad in charge the prophetical books of the Old Testument, but he died in May, 1607, four years,before the publi- cation of the work. ‘The King was not slow in making prepara- tions. In July of the same year he commissioned fifty-four dignitaries and scholars, who had been sclected by some unknown but, nv doubt, competent authority. to carry out the revision, and directed Bancroft, whoin the meantime bad become Archbishop of Canterbury, to make provision tor the compensation of the translut- ors by church preferment. He divided them into classes, who were to mect at Westmin- ster (London), Cambridze, and Oxford, two classes ineach piace. The originul Scriptures, including the Apocrypha, were in like manner divided into six portions, one of which was as- signed to cach cliss for translation. The actual number of transtators was only forty-seven. Tho remuining seven muy have died or resigned. The active members were, no doubt, the best scholars of England at that time, _as is Very evident from the result. Yet most of them are entirely forgotten;: they live only in their work. The same may be the fate of the new revisers. The work is far more important iban the workmen. Thetranslavon, or revision rather, was finished and puolished in 1611. In properly estimating King James’ version, however, we must not torget its defects, whic! are numerous and serious. Admirable us it is “for popular and practical purposes, it is full of ainor errors, inaccuracies, and inconsistencies, if tested hy the standards of modern Greek and Hebrew scholarship. The forty-seven revisers are not tobe blamed forthis. They knew the ancient lunguaces well enough to read them tivently and transinte from thein idiomnticaliy: -but they hud a very imperfect apparatus of grammars and dictionaries. The niceties and shades of those languages could not be uppre- ciated. The departures in the use of the article gre eo innumerable, and the neglectof the Greek tenses (the norist. imperfect, und perfect) so constant end arbitrary. that they scem to bave translated from the Latin Vulyate rather than trom the Greek... Moreover, a Vast amount of vhilological, archiological, georraphical, and historical _knowledze has accumulated within the last250 years, but more especially during the prevent generation, wnich can be utilized for the proper understanding of the Bible, and which is indisputably necessary for an accurate translation. These und other considerations have resulted at last in tho resumption of the work of revision in the year 18.0, by :be cowbined labur of biblical scholars from all tho leading Protestant ‘denominations of Great Britain and the United Stut ‘he British Committee and the American Committee are divided into two companies, one tur th2 Old and one for the New Testament, and each company ucts asa unit. which secures greuter harmony and con- ‘sistency than the system adopted by King James. ‘The New Testament was completed ut the clo: of Jast year, just 500 years after Wiclif': and will be published in the wouth of Ma; ultaneonsly in England, Scotland, America, and Australia.” Jn England, it will be published in various sizes and at various prices by the Uni- versity Pri s of Oxford and Cambridge, which have always had the monopoly of Bible printing. In this country, the publication is lett free li! thatof the authorized version, but, of course, with ull the risk of variatous and tnutilations to which irrespousible reprints are subject. Tho Old Testament will be fimsbed in two years. The Euglish Committee begun actual work in ‘May, 1870, and the American Committee, in codp- eration with the English, in October, 1872, but the latter was organized in 1871 by: invitation of the furmer. Both Committees embraced in all 1 members: but of these, a number died or re- signed during the last ten years. The present number of active members is seventy-nine, of whoni fifty-two belong tothe English and twenty- seven to the American Committee. : We now procced to state the points of agree- ment.and difference between King James” ver- sion and the Anrlo-American revision: Firat—Both are not new versions, but re- | visions of preceding versions, each being based chietly upon its immediate predecessor in au- thorized use, and retainmg substantially the same kind of English, so #5 to keep up the con- ‘Ainuity of tradiuon-and the bond of union. Second—Both are intended for popular use in churches and families. ‘Chey employ the com- mon.yet noble und dignified Iunguage of the people, asthe sucred writers did. There isa consecrated Bible idiom which differs us much from the scientific iuuguage of scholars as from the vulvar Jan;muge of the street. Jt does not either fly too high for the reuch of the many, nor crawl on the dust. Third—Both represent the best Biblical soholurabip of the age in which they were e Fourth—Kine James’ version, although sug- gested by an individual scholar (Dr. Reynolds). ‘Was undertaken and curried ou by Koyal author- ity,.bul unaided by the Royal purse und the Rosai seal of approval. The new version origin Bible, ated in the bead and heart of the Church of Englana, the Convocation of Canterbury, and is earried on by Biblical scholars, independent of Government aid or sanction. The ons repre- sents the Erastinn principle of State control, the latter the self-government of the Church. Fifui—The old version was made by scholars ofthe one undivided Church of England, the new by scholars of all denominations which bave since Sprung from it and use the same Bible. Sixth—Tho old version is the sole product of old England, the new is the joint product of both English-speaking nations, In England very properly, the English Church takes the dead; in the American Committee, the various leading denominations are equully represented, accoming to their numerical and moral strength and scholastic standing. Seucnth—The new revision, while retaining the idiom and vocabulary of the old, includirg its inaocent and intelligible archaisms, is yet so far «adapted to the present state of the English lan- wuage as to remove obsolete or misicading words and phrases, such us prevent (for precede), tect (for binder), to felch a compass (for to xO round), conversation (for conduct), by and by (for immediatety), carriages (for baggage), eic., ete. Eighth—The old version represents tho tertus receptus,—that is, a comparatively lute, medic and corrupt text, derived trom a few cut manuscripts, and published by Erasmus, Ste- phens, and Theodor Beza. The new revision is based upon the oldest attainubie text of the best ‘unelul manuscripts (us Codex Vaticanus and Co- dex Sinaiticus), the oldest versions (especially the Latin and Syriac), and the quotitions of the oldest fathers (as Jerome, Orizen, Tertullian, Irenieus),and digested with immense care and industry in the text ana apparatus of the best critical editors of. modern titnes (us Iachmann, Tischendorf, Tregeiles, Westcott, and Hort). ‘This older text has been more recently brought to light by remarkuble discoveries and Searches, and is upon the whole purer, simpler, and stronger than the ferlus receptus, but will ‘Rot, change a stugle article of faith or precept of uty. Ninth—The new revision represents the hitest stage of Bibli philology, critivism, and arch- seology, and is tar moreaccurate and consistent, though, perhaps in some cases, at_a sicrifice of the rhythm-of the old version. The improve- ments in this respect are innumerable and oc- eur in every chupter, although the ordinary render may Scarcely observe them.

AMERICAN S. 5. UNION. FI£TY-SEVENTU ¥ Y OF ITS Oh- GANIZATION. The American Sunday-Schoo) Union will cele- brate its fifty-seventh anniversary Thursday evening in Central Music-Hall. An interesting and instructive program ot exercises has becn prepared for the occasion, including addre: by Bishop Cheney, of this city, Daniel R. Noyes, Esq., St. Paul, Dr, F. Noble, on “Sunda; School Training nnd tho Future of the State, and an oration on what the Sunday-school has accomplished, by the Rev. John ifall, D. D., of New York. The report of tho Union for the year 1880 opened with an uppropriate reference to the centenary celebration held in London to com- memorate the founding of Sunday-schools by Robert Raikes, Gloucester, Enrland, 1780. It calls attention to the importance of Christian education as a safeguard to the nation, und quoting on that subject the emphatic words of President Gartield in bis inungural addr The American Sunday-Schoul Union was the pioneer in producing juvenile retiious titera- ture, in which it expended thousands of dollars beyond what was contributed. and paid to it therefor. That the country and the Christian Church hus been benefited by this liberal polic: is indicated by the very strung testimony of the Rev. Dr. Jaines W. Alexander, the Rev. Dr. Thomas Armitace, and otvers. Dr. Armitage ~Tbetieve that since the Society was organized you have poured out upon the public mind larger Hterature upou the subject of the early conversion of children than the world possessed in the LNW years bef your organization.” The Soci bas dis} ‘uted $7,250,000 worth of publications and organ- ized in fifty-seven yes 4) Sunda schools with 500,000 texchers and 3,000,000 schol- ars. : The unprecedented growth of the country has increased, rather than diminished, its field of labor. ‘There are two clit in the community to be reached by a Christinn Heruture: (1) Those whose wants are in harmony with their spiritual needs. ‘These seck and puy for their own sup- plics.

WHAT SHOULD A BISHOP W: A vorrespondent of the Living Church su: the present Episcopal garb consists of two dis- Unct vestments, the rochet and the chimere. The only law we haye on the subject is in the service for consecrating a Bishop, The rubric orders that the Bisbop-elect be presented, “vested with. his rochet.” So far the case is plain: the law is obeyed everywhere. Imme- diately before the Veni Creator Spiritus, the rub- ric says: “Then shall the Bishop-clect put on tho rest of the Episcopal habit.” Now the que: uon arises: What is “the rest of the Episcopal habit"? The rochet forms u part of that habit, but of what vestment or vestments. docs the rest c1 Atubric and Canon are both This rubric from our American Ordinal is e: ly the same us that in the English Prayer-Book. The meantng and intention of the two is ev dently Identical. Have we. now, any way of knowing what the English rubric means by rest of the Zpiscopal habit if wecan settle this polut, we can then be sure what vesture our Ordinal requires a Bishop to wear. Is the Ulack sutin chimere with inwn sleeves the law- ful Episcopal vesture, or is itouly a substitute for it, tolerated by custom, and resting on no other warrant? There isarubricin the English book which reads as follows: * And here it is to be noted that such Ornaments of the Church aud of the ministers thereof at all times of their minis! tion shall be retained and be in-use, as_ were this Church of England by the authority of Par- jinment in the second yeur of-the reign of King Edward VI." ‘This, then, is conclusive, if only: we know what the law was in the second year of Edward VL. ‘This rubric, remember, is our only warrant here fn the American Church for the use of the surplice or any other vestment or ornatnent whatsoever.

The chasuble is the Eucharistic vestment, and so fs to be worn only by the Celebrant ut the Holy Communion. ‘Thus the rubric of ‘our Ordinal as to “ the rest of the Episcopal habit” would be obeyed, if the Bisnop would wear over his rochet 2 surplice or alb, and overitacope, ‘The cope might be of uny material or of any color, from cloth of gold to plain white linen.

Mr. Jobn Lyte King, of the Committce of In- quiry of 1880, presented a- report upon tho charges which had been presented against Mr. Samuet Appleton, 2 member of the Chicago Bar, bya client named Mr. George R. H. Hughes. ‘The report was as follows: To the President of the Chicago Bar Associa- tion: On tho 2th of May, 1850, thoro wus filed with the Committee on Inquiry serving for the owe 1880 certain charges, preferred by George Rt. H. Hughes agninst Samuel Appleton, a men ber of the Chicago Bar, involving the protes- sional conduct of Mr. Appleton. Mr. Appleton was promptly notified, and furnished with a copy of tho charges, and attended upon the Committee by counsel, Mr. Hardy. Mr, Hughes was represented by Mr. [ynes. ‘The substance of the charges was that, in 1878, Mr. Appleton held, in unrecorded trust for Hughes certain real property in Chicago, which he mortgaged {none instance about tho lth of December, 1878, for $1,000, and in another: instance, ubout May 7, 1809, for. : $1500; and —atterwards, Feb, 24, 1880, sold the property for $1,000, sub- Ject to the prior incumbrance of $1,500, ‘all of which conveyance was without the knowledge and consent of Hughes, und the proceeds of exch of which conveyances Appleton fraudu- fently converted and appiied to nis own use, without the knowledge and consent of Hughes. The auswer of Appicton admitted the muking of the mortgages und conveyances, but denied the fraudulent conversion of the moncy, and denied tke interest of Hughes in the property at the time the conveyances were made, and he also claimed that be was not xeting in his pro- fessional capacity in any of such transactions. ‘After the testimony was all taken and the ense was submitted to the Committee, Appleton notified the Committee that he had filed a bill against Hughes for un accounting, and sng- xested unt’ tho Committee tuke no further’ auction in the matter. This request the Com- mittee declined. them the Committee pi eded to hear the testimony of many witnesses, which is herewith presented, amounting to $00 pages. Both pur- ties attended the hearings, and were ufforded all opportunities for a thorough inquiry regarding the merits of the complaint, and, after a patient and thorough investigation, the Committee re- port the following conclusion: 1, That at the time of the commission of the siid alleged offenses there existed between Mr. G...t. H. Hughes und Mr. Appleton the relation of attorney and client. 2. That at tho time of the acceptance of said tcust by Mr. Appleton said Hughes was owner of snid property, and conv ud the same by deed to the suid Appleton, and that said Apple- ton unauthorizedly executed tho mortguge incn- tioned in said complaint, and FRAUDULENTLY APPROPRIATED the proceeds to his own use, without the knowl- edge or consent of the said Hughes. #. That he thereafter conveyed the said prop- erty to one Dickey, witaout the knowledge and consent of suid Hughes, and fraudulently con- veyed the proceeds to bis own use.

ARTESIAN WELLS. Why They Are Coming into Uso in New York City—Thelr Advantages for Brewers—Talk with Jesse Button. i we York Tribune, May 7. About forty artesian wells have been dug in this city, the greator number being used by brewers. Baur & Bets have a.well 50) fect deep, yielding 2,000 barrels dally. Peter Doelger’s well isiW2feetdeep, and yields about 1,200 barrels. Tho well xt David Jones’ brewery is 662 fect dcop, and gives 1,200 barrels, and the wells of George Ringler & Co. are 360 and 5 feet deep respectively, yielding about 1,500 barrels each, Conrad Stein hus’ a well 300 feet deep, produ- cing 1,500 burrels, and John F. mann’s well is 50) fect deep, yielding S00 barrels, The wells of Clnusen & Price are 650 aud 6%) feet deep, one well producing 120) bar- rels, tho other not being inuse. A. Fi Son also have two wells #60 and 425 feet deep re- spectively, producing about 3,000 barrels. The well of Elias & Itetz is 600 fect deep, and yields 1,200 parrels, and the well of T. C. Lyman & Co. is 600 feet deep, but is. not tlowing at present. Symonds & Kaufinann have an artesian well at the fot of West Forty-seventh street that yields 10) barrels an hour, and bas yielded 2,200 barrels in eleven hours. At the brewery of Flannagan & Wallace is a well sunk 320 Yect, producing 2,000 varrels daily. foe Brothers, provision dealers, bave a well in West Thirty- seventh stucet, 500 feet deep, yieldimg 1,500 bar- relsdaily. Neidiinger, Schmidt & Co, have an artesian well at the toot of Eust ty-third strect that overfiows. The weil is 400 fect deep. George Ehret, tho brewer. hus a well at: Nine- ty-secund street. between Second and Third uvenucs, in which seven boles were drilled in ditferent directions, and at different angles, only one being verticul.” The boring was curried to udepth of about 260 feet _on the average, the longest nt an angie Demy 437 feet deep. Water was struck in all the borin; and an abundant supply bas been obtained continuously. At the Fitth Avenue Hotet a bormg was made to a depth of 2,100 feet, where the work was stopped. Some streams of water were reached, but no large supply. aA Tribune reporter recently asked Jesse But- ton, an engineer and contractor tor tho boring of artesinn wells, ubout the advantages of such wells for brewers and manufacturers. Mr. But- ton bus had an extensive experience in this kind of engineering work, and spoke xt length in re- gard to its merits. “1 bave been engaged in boring artesian wells since he snid. -**Someof those that Isank in Massachusetts between 1550 and 3805 have not fuiled to yield a good sapply. and sone of thom have increased their yield. There:was one well that Lbored in 1851 that yielded 600 gullons xn minute for seven years, and suddenly. broke into 750 gallons. In this city there is hardiy any place below.wenty-third street in which ur- tesian wells cannot be bored that will yield 2 lurge quantity of water. A well might be dug in every block in New York without interfer- ing with its neighbor. ‘The average depth of such welis will be 400 feet, Above Twenty-third street,there is no witershed, tho covering over the rock being slight. ‘The’ wells are supplied from the surface collections of water, und a greut part of it percolates through the rock, gets into the ledge, nid runs off. On the north’ side of Manhattun Island there is nota sulficient overlaying of earth to retait the water. It runs With these charges and admissions before~ | mica rock so far us he knew, d, and a copy | rock. You sce, if the rock is overluid withearth, the water enters the earth und drains iuto the rock, muking a watershed,—a reservoir that holds it so that it can pass off. In the centre of the city the water seldom rises higher tnan with- in eighteen or twenty feet of the surface, and it Necomes necessary to put in deep-well pumps to raise tho water. “Pumps for this purpose hnye a peculiar’ construction, as in pumping oil in mines from great depths.” “What are some of tho advantages of ar- tesian wells?” asked the reporter. “Artesian wells have an even temperature of 51% dog. or 52 deg. the yeur round. ‘Their yleld of water contains no vegetable matter, having nono of the impurities in surface streams. The supply is always cqual year in aud year out, and inereases rather than diminishes. One well, the cost of which is about $3,000, will pay for itself inayearif mman uses 1,000 to 1,500 barrels of water a day. In regurd’ to brewers, artesian wells arc advantageous by reason ot tho cold- ness of the water. Beer must be keptat 40 deg and when brewed it is reduced to tat tempera- ture. Now it tukes a lurge amount of ico to re~ duce Croton, water from its temperature of 70 deg, to 46 deg., but not a great deal of ice to bring artesian well water from degrees to the re- quired temperature. Artesian well water i3 also superior to Croton for domestic purposes on ae count of its purity. It contains very little min- eral, although sometimes it hus some tron in it, whieh is not objectionable. Look at the large, bony men of Vermont, for instance. ‘The water they drink contains bonnte of ime, and to that [ attribute, ina great measure, their siz ‘The only objection to tho presence of Mme in water fs in tho running of a boiler, but with cer- tain apparatus itcan be run with any kind of water, unless, of course, it should contain 90 per cent of salt.” “Are artesian wells very much cheaper than Croton?" “Most decidedly. Croton consumers pay 15 cents t hundred cubic feet. Large denters pay 74 cents for the same quantity. Some dealers pty $6,000 n year in water taxes, and if they used ull tho water they wanted they would pay from $16,000 to $20,000," The demands of manufactur- Ing interests kre increasing so rapidly in the upper part of the gity that in less than five years, I think, the Croton will not supply one-balf of the city. Thave often thought thatif [were acquainted with members of the Croton Board [ should suggest to them the adding of great quantities of water to tho Croton supplies by bering urtesian wells along the mutin tine of the Croton. All wells in the mountains up there should be overtlow-wells like those in Tarrytown that produce 2,04) to 3,000 barrels a day. By the selection of a proper situ- ution, it would be possible to udd by means of one well 100,000 barrels in cvery twenty-four hours to the Croton supply. The overilow from such wells running into the river would add largely to the stream, and ten tlines as much could be necomplished by such weils and at less expense than invny other way. ‘The advantages of making such borings through Orange und Put- nam Counties, where the Croton Hows, are many, and not the ieast is that, whereas in times of drought the sources of the Croton dry up, with the aid of such artesinn wells there would be a constant overtlow into the Croton. Artesian wells run xs much water during 2 drought as In tho wettest season.” Mr. Button added that the rock on Manhattan Island was nearly vertical, and was largely mica with some bluestone and marble. There bud been no borings deep enough to get through tho Ithough there had been drillings of 1,300 and 1,000 feet respectively in Morrisania and at fliggins’ carpet factory. It was possible to drill from fifteen to twenty feet aday in some places, and then again a progress of only three or four feet daily could be made. Mr, Button sald he had also thought of sugwest- ing to the Street-Cle ws Departinent the bor- ing of a series of wells below: Thirty-fourth street, by means of which the streets could eusily’ be cleaned every night. This plun, he thought, would effect considerable saving to the city, und the water would be pure and no dup- gerous mildew would come from it. DETECTIVE RIVALRY. A Stupid Thief-Catcher Prefers a Charge Which He Fails to Prove. case of alleged attempted burglary, where- in the defendant was one of the officers em- ployed in Pinkerton’s Detective Agency, was examined before Justice Summertield yester: day afternoon, and proved to be inade up of rather singular and interesting details. Tho prosecuting witness was Mr. Salisbury, of the firm of Salisbury & Cline, dealers in gossamer goods at No. 10 Madison street. For a number of months, ever since last July, in fact, Messrs. Salisbury & Cline huve been repeatedly made the victim of some thief,—of sume trusted but fuitnless employéor agent poss “tof akey to the store. Lust July a lot-of gossamer coats were stolen trom the store, and at one time 3109 in gold carelesly left inn drawer by the cashier was stolen, But the store was always found locked in the morning just as it bad been left the night before. Finally a porter who hada ie O the store was detected in a little irre and was discharceil, it be:g the supposi- tion at that time thut he was the thief. Although his key wns, of course, taken from hit (he- may have ‘previonsiy hud’ 2 duplicate made), the thieving still went on. ‘Three or four dity Jot of gossamer hats were stolen from the and then Mr. Salisbury went to Tuttle's Detect- ive Agency and anged to have the ¢: worked up” in regular. style. Detective J. IL Bull was detailed | on tho job, and ‘Thursday afternoon he stutioned himself on the South Side of Madi- | son street, opposit tho store, and watched until | the place bad been focked' nnd the last man gone away. ‘Then, having been provided with a key. he entered the store himself. and remained there all night without discovening anything unusual. He saw the front door tried several times during the night by SOME MAN IN UNIFORM, but that was nothing to excite suspicion. -Fri- day night, however, while he was in the ollice at the buck'of the store, he saw the front door tried at regular intervals by an officer, and then, about 4 o’cloc’: yesterday: morning, he saw a officer enter, What followed can be gathered froma brief synopsis of the testimony, the cuse first being exiled before Justice Wallace at the and afterward sent to Justice Summer- 's Court on u change of venue. Bull testified that when the oflicer entered the store be came dircetly to the office. Witnes suddenly’ contronted-bim and demanded his business, and the officer only stammered an in- coherent explanation and drew his revolver. Witness made btm put away the weapon and also deliver up what keys he po: ‘ed and sub- mit to belng made a prisoner. The prisoner complained that * it was bard,"—be. was work- ing onasmall salary, had_a wife and children to support, and had only $15 in the bunk. Witness finally turned him over to a policeman, and had him taken to tho Armory. The prisoner was none other than one of Pinkerton’s men, Cburles J. Markhain. Ife swore that he found’ the door open, it being his business to ‘try tho door,’ a3 Sali bury was 4a “Subscribe and. that he drew his revolver, expecting to find burglars } in the store. He found Bull lying on a lounge in the office, and the latter claimed to be a member of the firm. Witnessed believed him, and ag the men were always very particular not to offend *subseribers,” consented to go to the Armory, feeling confident that all would be ex- plained. He did not talk with Bull about ehtl- dren to support, beenuse he hud no children. ‘The whole ease hinged on the question as to how Markham came to enter the store. Bull suid the door was locked, and that Mark- ham unlocked It. Markbam said be found it unlocked, and, as & proof that he was correct, there was no key to the store found on his person; and it was not denied that it was his business to try the door regularly on bis rounds of bis beat. Another important fact was that tho stealings begun before Markham went into Pinkerton’s employ. Mr. A.S. ‘Trude, the defendant's attorney, tri to show that the whole sult of ry between the two detective agencies; that Bull had left the door unlocked purposiy to catch Markham. The Court declared that there was not the stizhtest evidence against the defendant, who wasa cordingly discharged. The Court further criti- cised the detective ability displayed by Bull, ar guing that be shoul have concented himself and waited for the intruder to demonstrate his intentions. $$ THE ESCAPE. es For The Chicago Tribune.

BOARD OF TRADE. Friends of Its Removal. Regard the Project as‘an As- sured One. Its New Home Will Add Millions to the Taxable Wealth of the City, And Also Open Up Adams Street to In- tramural Traffic, To-morrow night the ordinance providing for the vacation of that part of LaSalle street be- tween Juckson and Van Buren comes up before the Council for consideration. There appears to be ttle doubt that it will receive the neces-. gary vote, and that this great public improve- ment, the necessity of which bas often been peinted out by Tue Trrmuxe, may be carried out. Oneof tho objections made by the few persons who have been opposing this. improve- men fs that it will cause a reduction of valucs in the neighborhood of the present Court- House, which will also be a loss to the city at large, laasmuch asthe amount of revenue de- rived trom taxation will be reduced. Assuming that this were truce, which it is not, however, it would be more than offset by the gain which the city would derive from the increased value of proporty further south on La Sulle street. The construation of & Bourd of Trade building on the proposed site at 2 cost of $1,000,000 would be rapidly followed by the building up of all the surroundimg property in a fine and: substuntial manner. There must be ollices fur the thousands of persons whose business is directly connected with Bonrd of ‘Trade opera- tions, und offices must be erected for them good as uny In Chicago. The city would derive 000 yearly in taxes from this ituproved prop- erty, and itis absurd to say that the value of property around the Court-House square would deteriorate. It is understood that a customer stands rendy to take the present Chamber of Commerce Building as soon AS IT IS VACATED by the Board of Trade. The Western Union is not. suited with its present facilities, it would be delighted if itcould get hold of the present Board of Trade chamber, splendid room, vbich would furnish admirable accommo- dations for its corps of operators. Besides. the erection of this proposed magnificence building at the south end of La Sulle street would not pull down the value of property at tbe northern end, but would make that thoroughfare from Itandolph to Jackson the Wall strect of the West, 1t would tix for the next century or two the centro“and headquarters of one or two speciil branches of business in this city. { ‘The Bourd of 'Trade—an institution with 1,800 members, which handles ail the products of the Northwest—bas voted five to one to leave its present contracted quarters, which are needed for other purposes, und move further south, where better accommodations ean be obtained, and where there is ample room for the officing ot alt those whi business relations bring them in contuet wita it. It 1s not believed that enough persons can be found in the Council to thwart this desire of the great commercial body of tho Northwest, especially when its carrying out ts productive of so many benefits tu the public at are. ‘The erection of this $1,000,000 building so near the Custom-iiouse, the Pucitic Hotel, and Lake Shore & Kock Islund depot will torm an addi- tional business centre equal to any in the coun- try. Its influence will radiate in all directions, inereasing the value of property for blocks uround. At present the business centre of this” city of 500,009 is practically the little strip north of Monroe and south of the river. The -incon- venteuce of this is seen by everybody between 5 and 7 o'clock in the evening. The Run- dolph and Mudison street cars are utter- ly unabte—would be under any circumstances— tocarry the mass of people who have been cooped up all duy long in the business centre of Chicago. The relief is to come not trom ele- vated railways or similar devices, but by an ex- pansion of the business centre, which will bring wite itan EXPANSION OF STREET-CAR FACILITIES. It will not be long before Adams street will be as much of 2 thoroughfare as some of the streets to the north of it. The pressure now brought upon the Randolph and Madison street- cur lines willbe relieved und taken off; lines of cars or buses will ply upon that street’ and also n upon Harrison; and in that way people will get accommodations whigh are now denied them. BOSS CONKLING. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune. Ciicaco, May 7.~Mr. Conkling'’s position in regard to the appointment of Judge Robertson cannot failtolower him in the estimation of every fair-minded Republican.

But, on the other hacd, if the appointments shall be made by the President, 2s_the Constitu~ tion provi Mr. Conkting reaily has no further voice in the matter than any United States Sen- ator. His disposition to rule or ruin the Republican party renders him a more dangerous enemy to the true principles of the cause he pretends to espouse than any Bourbon Democrat now in the Senate. W.
