A Conference with Senator Lo-- gan and Congressman Aldrich On the Bill for Dedicating Dearborn Park for the Use of the Library. The Council Committee Will Recommend the Aldermen to Urge Its Passage. Yesterday’ there was a conference at the Patmer House relative to a bill to be introduced nt the approaching session of Congress having for its object the abandonment by the Cnited States of any interest or Utle it may have inthe Deurborn Park, and its grant to the City of Chi- cago ty be used Hs the site of the Chicaro Pubtie Library, There were present Senator Logan, Congressman Aldrich, and Messrs.J. L. Allen, Dr. Walker, W. Poole, George B. Armstronz, ‘and Bernard Caliaghan, of the Library Board, and Ald. D. L. Shorey. "The uieeting was called to order by Mr. J. L. Alien, who stated to the members of the Na- tional Legislature that the School Board bad agreed upon a biltto be presented to Congress ‘tor the purpuse mentioned, and on bebalt of the Doard be asked tho beurty. codperation of the Senator and the Conyresstonal deleguuon from the city tu secure its passage. Following is the text of the bill: ‘Be it enacted, ete., That all the right and ttle of the United States in and to the streets and grounds dedicuted to pubhe use, known as Dear- Horn Park, aud bounded as follows: By Kan- dulph street op the north, by Washmgton street op the soutb, by Michigan avenue on the eust, una by Dearborn piace on the west, in that purt of tne City of Crivayo, in the State of Ttlinois, known us ‘Fort Dearbora Addition to Chicazo,” subdivided and platted under authority of the Secretary of War in the -year A.

A somewhat sim- flar bill, though larger in its scupe, bad passed the Senate. with but two dissenting votes. In the House the Dill was modified, but an adjourn- ament was had before tival action could be bad, He would. always: fayor the dedication of the property to the city.

He did not see bow any Cpicago meinber could oppose it It was only technical tile the Government haa anybow, und it has fonz ago been fully paid for any m- terest it bud in it, He did not believe that any liberal member of Congress would enter vdjec- ‘ions to the passage of the hil : Mr. Alien regretted that Congressmen Davis and Farwell were unable to be present. He was asyured that the bill would meet with the hearty codperadon of the two Congressmen. Ati re- cent raveung of the Council ald. Shorey pre- sented an amended bill looking to te relin- quishment to the city by the Goverumeut of all title it may bave so any public grounds in the ety. . ‘The Alderman presented his bill, which was substantially the Some as that amended by the committee of the House list winter. Theo billig as follows: Wueneas. In 1839 the Secretary of War, under an act of Congress, caused certain lauds in tac tract now known us the “Fort Dearborn Addi~ tion to Chicazo” 10 be surveyed, platted, and sold, excepting public grounds between Ran- dolph and Madison streets, froatmg on Lake Michizan, reserved as public grounds in order to procure a better sule of the lots im said addi- vion, which were thea. in demand for residence purposes; and upon such sale the United Surtes received full compensation for all its in- terest in said tands; and Wnheneas, Said lots nave ceased to be used for residence purposes; now, therefore, be it Ttesulced. by the City Couuci of the City of Chicago, That the Congress of the United States: 3s hereby respectfully requested to relinquish Ww the City_of Chicago all the rucht, tide, and interest of the United States in and to the streets and other public xrounds in sald Fort Dearborn Addition to Chicazo, upon the terms and conditions of the fullowimg bill: Be it enacted, elc., Thut all the right and title of the United States to the'strects and grounds dedicated to public use in that purt of the City of Chicago, State of: Tilinuis, Known, as the “Fort Dearborn Addition to Chicago,” subdi- vided and platted under the wuthority of the Seeretary of War in the year 183%, be ‘and the Funie hereby is relinquished and sranted to the said City of Chicago and its successors; provided, that ‘all that portion of said public rounds known as “Fort Dearborn Square,” bourged by Randolph street, Michigan avenue, Wasbingtou street, and au alley, shall be devoted forever to the uses of the Chicago Public Library; and provided, further, that nothing herein contained sballdeprive the owners of contiruous lots of any. valid. right or claim, if any such exist, to compensation on account of any change of use to which the public gruund berein relinquished to tho City of Chicago was originally dedicated by the United States: and providel, furtner, tbat nothing in this act contained shail be beid vw impair or in any way affect the rizbt or title of the United States in-or to Block 1 or the streets or water surrounding it,in said Fort Dearborn Addition to Chicago. MIL SHOREY STATED in explanation that the bill gives the fee of the streets of the >Fort Dearborn Addition to the City of Chicago. ir. Alten, by way of furtber explanation, siated that ‘the Library Board could valy urge Pe pases of the bill relative to Dearborn ark. Mr. Callaghan was called on and, said that be had been informed by the owners of abutting property. that the present use of the Deurborn ark was a nuisance, and that they would be glad to havea public building erected on the land. One of the lurzest_property-uwners ad- joining bad promised to give a Liberal subscrip- tion to the building fund. Dr. Watker believed that if the bill were re- stricted to the library feature only it would be adopted by Congress without opposinon. ‘The otber provision, which included ali the other public lana, might be the cause of much embar- eassment. Tae board needs a home. Mr. Armstrong stated that {f the ground could . besecured there would be no diticuity in ob- taming the funds to erect a library building. Au xdjournment was then bad to the City- ‘Hull, where the Library Board and Ald. Shorey met with the Comittee on Wharves and Public Grounds. Mr. Shorey explained the bistory of the plot- ling in 188. under direction of the Secretary of ‘War, and the netion before Congress hust ‘ses- sion on the question at issue, He argued that the elty might as well, ask for the whole of Fort Jarborn Addition as for a part of it, The park —so-called—coutd be used tor the hbrary burld- aug.and tere would be a million dollurs® worth of property left to the zity besides. The Alderman Then read his bill, as the embodiment of bis iden bf what should be concurred in by the Council. Mr. Alien said that as a citizen be was anxivu: to sve Chicayo get botd of the whole proper: Dut 2s a representative of the Librarg Bord be thought it best fur the present to make onls ap effort to secure the park fur the purposes of a Mbrary building. Ald. Lawler suggested that it would be well to dear what the Council bad to say in the prem- ises. Uf they thoucht. that an effort to get the whole of the property would result disastrously, they mizht, rather than drtg the library sebeme down, siwply recommend to Congress the pas- sage of the bill proposed by Mr. Allen. ‘This suggestion met with favor, and st was finally decided to recommend to the Council the passage of the resolution as proposed by Ald. Sborey. THE LIBRARY LOAND. A regular meetin of the Public Library Board was held rday afternoon, There ‘Were present Messrs. Calluzhan, Allen, Loewen- thal, Walker, Kadlec, Schmidt, Hynes, and Arm- strors. Uu motion, Mr. Callaghan was-called to ‘the chair. A petition read from the day employés of the fibrary hit they be allowed to leave the library every day at o'clock insterd of 6 until April i next. On motion, the matter was refered to the Administrauon Committee. The Library Cotnmittee reported bills to the swount of $153.8), and they were ordered paid. ‘hwo Lsts of books had been examined by the committee. Une was of American current Tterature, thirty-tive volumes, to cost about Si, and they had been purchased. The acuun ratilied he board. The other was of English buoks, 160 volumes. to cost about £20, spa the board ordered them purchased. - T Librarian bad recommended the purchase of J volumes, and the mutter was referred to the commitiec, —\ The mutter of the appotutment of a certain Jads in the Library at! the last meeting of the was recunsidered and laid over one monto for action. as it was found she had been given the preference over two young hidies who bad been serving as substitutes fer over two years. The Finance Committee reported that the ‘oucbers drawn on the library fund durmg the quarter ending Aug. 31 last amounted to $10,- 168.40, The report was approved. ‘The Secre- tary’s October bill was referred to this commit- ‘tee, with power to act. é dine Comsnittes on Buildings and Grounds re- orted bi @ amount of $29.20, an Sere ordered paid. ey pee any. Afr. Allen reported for the Comuittee on Future Library Building, and made a statement of what hud transpired in the committee's ¢ m- ference with the Congressional Representatives and the Council Committee, which Is reported elsewhere. ‘The Librarian made his report for the month of October, xs follows: Books ta a home us, 27,756, an average of 1,056 daily; ors to reference department, 2.081; volumes consulted, 9.297; visitors to American. patents, 635; visitors to reading-room, 29.141 periodicals issued In reading-room. 14,415; books issued in rending-room, 2.976; Sunday visitors, 418; books oluines added to the library since worn out, 436; total volumes now in hbrary, 79,393, The rarlan reported that five cases of English books were now in the Custom-House, and nbout 1.000 German books for the library bad arrived in New York. ‘Mr. Armstrong said he had occasion, in going to und from his oftice every evening, to pass the Library Building, and he had poticed several men hanging about the entrance who were com- monly designated as “mushers."* These men annoyed the young Indies who | visited. the Library.aud he thought the attention of Super- intendent MeGarigie ehould be called to the nuisance. and the policeman on che beat in- structed to see that these men were summarily dealt with. It was suggested that disreputable churacters frequented the reading-roomn, and the Secretary was instructed to see that the new. junitor was invested with police powers. ‘Mr. Loewenthal said he thought that calling attention to this matter would scare | the “mashers” away, while anoter member of the board thought it would alarm the parents of the young Indy visitore to the Library. ‘Mr. Hynes belleved it would be more likely to attract the attention of other .*tmurhers”™ who had not “dropped on” this new field, and he suggested that the Younger members of the board be requested to apstain from holding con- sullutions iu front of the building, as it would te Hable to throw suspicion on them. . Mr. Loewenthal wis of tne opinion that if the policeman on the bext was instructed to.abate the nuisance, be would he Hable to approach the wrong man, x5 policemen occasionally did, and if wyoung gentieman, who was waiting for his sister at the door, shouid be taken in band by a Officer, it would be lixble to hurt his feelings. | It was tually decided to quiet! I] the attention of the police to the “ musbers. On motion of. Mr. Loewentval, the Committes on Administration were instructed to consider the udvisability of requiring a bond from the Secretary, who was in reahty the Treasurer of the board. and report at the next meeting. ‘The board then adjourned for two weeks. LESSER FRIEDBERG. He Is Captured and Locked Up-The Penttentiary the Next Stopping Place. Lesser Friedberg, the notorious, under sen- tence to four years in the penitentiary for re- eciving the gnods stolen by the murderers of Ollicer Race, was found and arrested shortly after 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon in the apart- ments at No. 429State street, second floor, of woman who is sald tohave done washing for the Friedberg family. He bad been in hiding there ever since yesterday morning, and might have been there still had it nut been for information gathered and given by a friend of Stute’s-Attorney Mills and Detective Moynihan, The latter, accompanied by Detect- Ive Whelan and Detectives Ryan and Loughlin of Central Station, went to the place indicated, ana by climbing up to a transom saw Friedberg sitting toasting bis heels ugainata stove. The door was locked, and a5 nu respol was made to their repeated knockings, the. officers burst in the dour. Friedberg. surrendered at ouce, saying, with a peculinr shrug of bis sboulders, Tam yours.” As the purty with their prisoner: were passing the plumbing-shop of Friedberg's brother-in-law. Patrick Harvey, Mrs. Friedberz ran to the front dvor, and, seeing her husband in the hands of the police, FELL IN A FAINTING FIT. Shé was taken into rooms in the rearof the shop. end properly cared for, the officers re- muining there with Friedberg until she bad re- covered so fur that there was no longer any danger. Friedberg was tnken to Central Sta- fon, and Jocked up for un hour or two in one of the miserable, dirty,.and windowless cells at- tached to that station, When seen by the re- porter be mude pititul complaint about his quarters, but it was generally understood tat he was to be removed to the jail during the evepins. Friedberg never acknowledged anything, and 0 bis having hidden himself he will say only be bad a right to be where He was found. He protests that the oilicers bud not the rigbt nor the necessary papers for arresting him; that his hondsmen had hot signitied their intenion of giving him up, which is very likely to betrue, as they were secured by a.cash depositin Felzeu- thal & Kozminski’s bank He saya ne algae. have skipped out any time since yesterday morning, bad he been so inclined, but his last Cent, and more too, is in the deposit, and he bas nowhere to go suve to New York, where he has relatives; and woere he would be surely cupt- ured. ANOTHER REASON FOR NOT RUNNING AWAY is that nis lawyer represented to Mrs. Friedberg that the case would certainly be granted a re- heuring by the Supreme Court. Friedberg ap- pears to be full of fear that bis lawyer is either oversancuine or bas made too rosy repre- sentations, and it is safe to say that never since he brought trouble upon himself by bis crooked dealings as a pawnbroker has he. felt. s0-much’ like breaking down completely as be did in that cheerless ceil at the Central Station last night. His agony was de- picted In bis countenance and every word and action, and he greatly fears that be will be hur- ried away at once to the penitentiary as goon 4s he comes into the hands of the Sheriff. And this is just what is likely to bappen to him, for the Stute}s- Attorney. a8 Friedbery so piaintively whines, Will show him no mercy. AFTER THE SALOONS. Gen, Lich Estimates that $50,000 [as Been Lost by Their Not Paying Wa- ter T x. Gen. Lieb, Superintendent of the Water De- partment, had sumethine more to offer yester- day in tue matter of increasing the city revenue from water rates. . The. General, submitt2d the following to Mayor Hurriso Having been intrusted by'you with tho en- tire control of the Water-Utiice, 1 deem it my duty to continue iny investigation into its for- mer management and to lay’ before you all the facts and tures necessary to substantiate. my assernon made in my. statement to the Commis~ sioner of Public Works—that if J were permitted to contro! the ottice, as contemplated by the ordinances of the City Council, the receipts of the Waier-Ollice mfght be increased $50,000 a year. Following my investigation into the item of unassessed tnundries, 1 concluded. tu- proceed witb. the examination of the assessment of saloons. The number of saloons which pay 2 galoon license for the Nscal year 1831S. is 3 ng the record kept by tbe City Cier! it ev dener, hile the number of saloons assessed by tbe Water Assessor for the current year was, up to Oct. 30, 54, 25 the books of the Water- Otlice_ will —consequently leaving 1,121 euloons not assessed. In order to vlish the amount of money which during the past ten years bus been lost to the city through the nun-: ment of this business I bave compiled the following table: From this estimate of 1 Su for the year 18st" as all the saloons omitted will now be and cbarged upon the rute-books. This latter amount will be reduced a few bundred dollars by the deduction of such of the suloons as are situnted outside the water district, as well a3 such a5 are supplied by metre. Previous to the xdoption of the new schedule of rates in Muy last it was provided by ordi- nance it saloons, in addition to frontase, stould each be assessed from $6 to $1W. ‘The be show of no instance where a higher as- sessment than $6 bas been made, while pre- vious to May, JSS], any assessment fur saloons below this minimum rate was evidently illegal, conscquentiy by multiplying In each year the number of saloons whiéh should have been as- sessed from 1872 to 1881 by six, and deducting. from the sura the amount. already colleeted. It weil be seen that ce total amount of losses sus- tnined by the city during those nine years is not far from $5),0v0. ae : ARTHUR STERN. AJSury Secured—Insantty Will, Proba- bly Be the Defense. The third quartet of jurors who are to pass upon the case of Arthur Stern, wife-killer, were finally chosen yeeterday, the third day of the ‘s the amount of trial, out of a special venire of fifty jurors who, hud been summoned since the last session of the court. So many of this venire were found who either bad ‘scruptes against hanging a man when found guilty of murder, or who had read the newspapers, and formed a decisive opinion us toStero’s guilt, that the entire venire was almost exhausfed, when finally at4 o'clock in the afternoon both Mr. Millsand 3tr. Johnson accepted the following four jurors, and asked that they be dwora in: F. Smith, re-iaing ou West Indiana street:-William Priest, No. 47 Third avenue; Henry Walahauer, No. 188 North Ciark street; and Frank Ayer. corner of Michi- gau aud Franklin streets. The jury as tin- ally made up is a very respectable-look- img one, and is believed to be exceptionally fair. At all events, pains enough bave been taken in its selection, and the body of jurors from which thoy were cnosen was ; PTT more than average intelligent Jot of men. “U Great majority of. them read. the ewspilpers, and were familinr with the'story” of the c! a More were excused for WHAT THEY KNEW AND Hee for any apoarent ignorance. and among the number examined yesterday was one who, jn answer to a question by Mr. Johnson, made the following determined answer: “I want you to understand, sir, that I take nostock whatever In emotional Insanity.” He ws excused. ‘The cuse will be opened by State’s-Attorncy Mills in a brief address at the Monday morning session, and Mr. Maack, the father of the mur- dered young woman, is likely to be the Hirst witt ness for the prosecution. From tho drift of Mr. Jobnson’s queations In tho examination of jurors it is fair to infer that . THF ALLEGED INSANITY OF THE PRISONER, either at the time of the commission of the Bet, or perinanently, {5 likely to be the substance 0! the defense. itis quite posstble that in con- junction with this an attempt will be mnde to show that the deceused proposed tho agreement with her husband to end their lives tozether. and that she actually requested bim to shoot her. ‘This would of course show up Stern in a very meun tizht, but it might serve to save him from the gallo It is also whispered in court that the prosecution bus a surprise, in the shane of x witness who was driving along the Wald- heim Road atthe tine of ene murder, and who actually saw Stern tire the fatal § : The jury, ag usual in cases of the kind. bave been turned over to the keeping of the bailitte until the next session of the court.
