On the evening of the day following the meeting it was currently re- ported that $190,000 had been subscribed wt that meeting, the extra $50,000 being made up by meneither not present or who did not epen thelr mouths during the session. The truth of the matter ig that no money was raised on that evening except that couditionally romised by Gov. Evuns. It is stated, Poweven by one who knows the inner counsels of the Board, that one resident of Evanston bas fignitied his intention to give $25,000 rather thaa that the effort to pay olf the debt should fail. From the same source it is learned that at least ‘one subscription of $10,0X) has been quictly promised by one who is ‘able to give it, This does not at ali represent what muy be expected jrom residents of the village. ‘Those who are interested im the matter do not seem at all to doubt their ability to raise the $15,000 requisit tomnke the gift of Gov. Evans good. - The Governor stated that he wanted it distinctly uedersteod that the provision he put in was 2 necessary one, and that he did not propose to make thé donation unless the condition were fulliiied. ae ‘The present Senior class in the University has just added one more to the numerous innova- Uons that are to be made_ tn its Commencement week.

THE EXPOSITION BUILDING. Corporation-Counsel Adams finds that the In- State Industrial Exposition has, since May 1, occupied the Exposition site witnout any permission whatever, and merely at sufferance; that it is bound to remove the building from the premises when ordered to do so by the city; and that the Inter-State Industrial Exposition, by permitting the railroad company to occupy any part of the premises, directly violated the terms upon which tho Association was permitted to erect the Exposition Building and occupy the premises. Armed with this report the city au- thorities will insist thit the Exposition Com- pany make a lense and pay the city a fair rent. HYDE PARK. Consulting-Enginecr Cole bas recommended that the new Hyde Park Water-Works be erected ou the Inke shore at Sixty-elghth street.’ There being ¢levation suitable for 4 reservoir, the “direct supply ” is the only one that can be do- pended on. Hyde Park, South Chicuyo, and Pullman are to be supplied, and also tho suburbs kuown ns Grand Crossing, Irondale, and Cole- hour. For these different services he recom- mends mains varying from twelve to twenty- four inches In diameter. Pumping engines should be built to meet the supply of only a few years hence, when, if the consumption warrant it, additional puzps can be erected. Ho thought ‘a pump with a daily capacity of 5,000,000 gntloas would answer for the present. | Mr. Cole beli thut such works as he described could be erected for about $95,00. The ‘Trustees of Hyde Park have concurred in. these recommendations, and the Engineer bas een instructed to advertise for bids on a pump of 5.0u0,00U-gallon power and nine miles of sixteen-inch pip x ‘The Ilyde Park Hotel is not yct built, and tho probabilities now are that it will not be com- enced until next summer. .A new scheme is, however, talked of.

H..Lee, 2 large roal-estate owner of New York, attacked, in conversation with a ‘TRIGUNE reporter, the commpn error that the erection of clubs, notels, and other large buitd- imgs Injures surroundmg property. The Union League Club-House offers a good example of the popular error that great improvements de- preclate the property near by. ‘The people liv- ing near the site opposed tho erection of the house. ° They claimed that it would injure their Property. The result has been that their proper- ty hus increased ia value since the erection of the ciub-house. When large buildings go up, Promerty nround always increases in value. The nion League Clud-House, the Bristol. Sherwood, Buckingham, and Windsor Hotels have caused ‘a Jarge advance in Fifth avenue’ property. Mr. Lee suid: Forty years ugo, when I came to New York, thero were privute houses about the City-Hall. Washington square was out of town, Murray Hill a farm, and tho population 225,000. ‘But the jaw of evoludion holds iurext estate. Farms yield to private houses, and private houses give Way to business. Even in London, slow to move aud _uristocratic as the Engilsh are, the greut houses, Somerset, Northumberland, and Caven- dish, ure yielding to the murch of improvement, and Viceadilly up to Hyde Park corner is ehang- tug in the same way. Here in New York the elfcet is to push up in tho region of the park. People are ndapting themselves to tho elevated roads, which nave brought tang back from the country to live in the city, and given a great im- petus to its growth. The constunt progress from private use to public occupancy, and trom sinaller to greater vulucs and rentals, is as in- evitable as any Inw of succession. Sheer igno- rance {s oneof the chiet obstacles to be met with in dealing with real estate. The most com- mon crror, and the one most pernicious in the public good and the Improvement of the city, 13 the belief that the construction of means of trunsitor of large public buildings injures the value of the surrounding property.” TRANSFERS.

C. A. Coutant & Co., street soaps, and 145 State D FORFEITED BON Numerous Applications to Have the Judgments Set Aside. Jodge Hawes Decide that the Court Has Not the Power. Judge Hawes was engaged yesterday in hear- tng motions to set aside judgments recently en- tered on bonds in the Criminal Court, all of which were sustained’ by affidavits. It was tedious work, and nothing was accomplished be- yond the filing and reading of documents. The question involved was whether or not the Court had the right toset aside defaults and judgments in bail cases, and the- alfidavits were by the parties in interest. Some of them claimed release on the groune that they had, prior to de- fault being taken, arranged with the State's At- torncy forthe dismissul of the cases; others asked relense because they bad surrendered the prisoner ufter defuuit was taken and be- fore judgment bad been entered; others wanted to be let olf for the reason that they hud returned the prisoner after the judgment; and still others thought they should be excused beenuse they bad spent tne and money fn try- ing to got the principals, and had failed. a ‘he Court, in reply to the affidavits, announced as his position that under the law as It stood up to 1869 a surety might surrender his principal in exoneration at any time before tinal judgment on the scire facius, but as the law now stood he could ouly surrender his principal in exonera- tion prior to default being entered on the bond, except in certain cases covered by Secs. 310 aad 8l2 of the Crimiual Code. In case where tho principal had ubsconded, and default wns regu- larly entered upon the bond, be held that a surety could not be released from liability ‘by bringing in and surrendering his principal either before or after the entering of nnal judgment, and that the Court had no equitable jurisdiction in the matter. The provisions of the statute re- lating to the diseburge of the surety in exonera- don in certain cases he cunstrued as 2 litnitas tion upon tho power of the Court to grant relief in any other way. When a surety executed a bond, he regarded him as having ENTERED INTO A COVENANT with tho people of the State that if the principal did not appear ut the tine required to answer the charge be would pay the amount of the bond. When default was entered on the bond, therefore, the undertaking of the surety became ww debt of record, and he quoted, in support of bis positon, Judge Walker in Weesa vs. The People, who said: “When tho aefendant and the security entered into the recoznizthve thoy acknowledzed on the record of the court that they were indebted to the peo- ple in thesum of $1,000, the a:nount of the bon and when the forfeiture took phice it thereby became an absolute Judgment against the de- fendants.” From this he went on to say that, although the statute required that a scire facias should issue alter detault, and before final judgment, it did not require’ that personul serv- jee Should be had on cither the principal or sureties, or thut uny actual notice should be given them before the entry of judgment, The surety was bound to see to It that his principat was present when called, and if he allowed his cuse to zo by default, he did so at his peril. ‘The surety was the Jailer of the principal, and must produce him when be was wanted for trial, and the Court bad no common law jurisdiction to relieve against the’ penalty of a bond. At common law, by the forfeiture the debt became ubsolute, and courts could not relieve until the power was civen by statute of 4 George, 3, ch. 10, which statute had never been adopted in this State, THE POSITION TAKEN by Judge Hawes was a completo surprise to the attorneys, and they expressed their surprise by calling his attention to the fuct that it had been the custom in the past to set aside judgments for the reasons given, and contended that to change the rule would bo a hardship. He replied that he had looked up the law pretty thoroughly, and had been unable to tind anything to justify tho rule or custom re- ferred to. In some of the cuses equity would seem to demand that the bondsmen should be released, and if he had any discretion in the matter he would be inclined to releuse them, but the law was plain and would have to be given precedence. He wus open to conviction, however, and might be wrong in his conclusions, yet he did not think he was. He would be glad to hear the urguments of attorneys on tho sub- ject, nevertheless, and to examine any author- ities they might present. But they were not ready with “thoir Inw ‘points, and, by ugreement, ‘the whole question ‘went over until Thursday, when it will be again opened up, though it tnay be considered to have been alrendy substantially settled. in the aflidavits presented one fact came out which is not generally known, and may proveot great interest to Muyor Harrison. Wherever it was claimed that moucy had been spent in try- ing to apprebend prisoners it appeared that tho city detectives hud been employed. Another point appeared also, which has a wider interest, and exposes what is growing to be a great abuse in connection with apprehending prisoners: It appeared that wherever a bondsman. had de- livered his principal to the custody of the Sheriff it bad been done upon a requisition and at the expense of the State. $< George Eliot’s Voice. A This little story about George Eliot is told by @ Maine lady who met the novelist ata hotel in Switzerland, Just after *Romola"’ appeared. One day Mrs. Lewes was reading uloud in French to a little girl in the gurden, and the American drew near to listen to the musical tones. Pres- ently Mrs. Lewes glanced at the intruder and said: “Do you understand?” “Ido not care for the matter,” answered the American,—* I only came to listen to your sweet voice.” “Do you hike it?” said Mrs. Lewes, with some surprise. The American warmly expressed ber admira- tion; and George Etiot’s face lighted with pleas- ure ag she took her band, saying, “I thank you. I would rather you would compliment my voice than my * Romola.’” ——$— A Barmacide Feast.
