One of these Aldermen said yesterday that this enimpany came into the city with the str understandmg tit they should Iny a cuble, They were only too happy to comply. “After thut they did little -or nothing until they came to the surfaco with their pole ordinance. Now the company had Inid a mile of cxble, why could they not get Prot. Barrett to test it, and, if it proved a failure, then™ they could come in on poles? They bought the cable with their eyes open, and be knew that it was u sort of experi: ment. but they must have known the value of what they were buying. ‘A TRIBUNE reporter asked Prof. Barrett what, he thought of his making such a test as pro- sed. “| nave no right to make such tests for private parties, and can only make them when nuthor- ized to doso cither by the Mayor or Council. Thatis a private atfair entirely, There are plenty of private electricians competent to make such tests, and they could do it.” < ‘The Mutual Union might easily show in this way whether its allegations as to probubie failure had any foundanon. .

The Republican members of the County Board met in caucus yesterday afternoon at the Sher nun House to agree upon a “state” for tho ity employés to be elected tomorrow. They vere all present except Mr. Soune, who was not in the city. The body came to order with Mr. Ender in the chair, and with locks upon their mouths so far. xs reperters were concerned. it was learn@d of their doings, however, that the only changes in employés agreed upon, outside of a tew janitors, watchmen, and engineers, was that Joseph Dixon was to be elected to succeed Mills as Warden of the nos- pital—a fact which bad been predicted for some wee! he caucus wus, comparatively; speuk- ing, entirely hurmonfous, with tbe exception of Albright, who ugreed to everything until the re- moval of Warden Mills was wnnounced, which Was too umuch tor kim. to swallow. He wanted Mr, Mills retuined, and, failing to succeed in his purpose, * bolted "” and went upon the street to peddle his grievances. Lut the mistake he made was that’ he happened to express himself in favor of Mr. Mills to the sume persons he bad ubused him to a year or go ugo, and the conse- quence was that’ be gathered ‘very little com- fort, especially since hie is said to have violated his pledge of secrecy by sayiwe anything. The “slute”” agreed.upon, it is thought, willbe car- ried out in the hoard tomorrow, though there is no telling what x day may bring forth, The tight was quite bitter, x3 was expected, on some of the offices, but Mr. Clark, who had charge of mutters, think everybody will take his medicine and say nothing about it, REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. HOW THE ILLINOIS BANNER WAS TORN DOV Some controversy having arisen, asto the, statement that the banner of the Llinois dele- gation in the last Republican National Conven- tlon was torn down. when Garlield was nom- inuted, and as to just who did the tearing down, a reporter culled yesterday upon: Mr. E. G. Keith, one of the eighteen anti-Grant delegates, and asked him for his recollection of the matter. “Lwas sitting on the left,” said Mr. Keith, “and the mélée occurred tn the aisle at the right of the delegation, adjoining the lowa del- egation. It was Detore the result hud beeu de- clured, and during the cheering which followed when everybody saw tht Garfleld bad been nominated. Delegutions were con- centratmg their shields around Guar- field, of course the minority eer of the Illinois delegation—cightcen of us—didn't lay claim to the banner until Gartield was nom- inated. Lsuppose the majority took issue with those of the minority who took hold of it. My impression is that Gen. Edsall took the stuff und shicld over, or at least started with it. Ldon't know who ‘opposed -bim. There wasa tremen- dous serunble, and there must bave teen half a dozen people who took 2 hand init. John P, diand, 1 think, endeavored to help the staff along reme! particular ume. 1 think was just under w impression the min who reached over to stop Gen. Edsall. ‘The first J saw of the thing Edsall was down on one ki and the staif was broken in two or three pieces. 1n the mncantime the shield bad been snatched off and thrown under the seat. Afterwards Geu, Edsall, | think, took it up and curried it over to the Ohio delesation. My impression is that Logun, or some one else, told the Grunt delegates that they were fuolish in making any further opposition, and advised thein to allow it to be carried over. 1 know the fecling on the part of the Grant people was very bitter. They were very much incensed at the cheering. and seemed pretty mad,” Washington Hesing retuined a very clear recollection of the memorable scene enucted on that eventful morning. “Why THe ‘Tnipuxe sbould le that Jones was one of the excluded delegates,” said he, “I can't understand. He was a delegate from first to lust, for the reason that there was never any contest from Jo Da- viess und no thought of uny. Bull held the stat! at one time, and so did J, und Jones was right in the mélée; I saw him with my own eyes. He and Bull opposed carrying. it over to the Ohio delexxuon, and Bull grabbed hold of it and it was broken. Four or five others had bold of it. Some fellow--whether It was Senator Campbell or uot, 1 don't-know—was going to kuock Bull down, and grabbed him by the cout collar. ‘This much {8 certain: that ee. Bull and Jones opposed carrying the banner over to the Ohio deleguuon, both were iu the melée, and Bull grabbed hoid of it aud it was broken.” Senator Campbell was out of the city, and the reporter was therefore unable to get his version. aAttorney-General Edsall ndmits tne ‘substan- tial correctness of Mr. Keith's version of the fracas. The person who first caught bold of him was Builof Ottawa, but he does not recol- lect that Jones was in the bull at the time. CHRISTMAS-TREES, THEY ARE SELLING FROM FIVE CENTS TO . TWASTY-FIVE DOLLARS, Good little boys and girls think most these bright sunny days about their good old friend, Santa Claus, and what be is going to put into their stockings when they hang them beside the ebimney Christmas add New-Year's Eve. Some write letters to the kind old mun to tell him what they want most, and those who are too small to write ask their pupa or mamma to call on Santa Claus the first time thoy go down- town and ask him what he will bring to them if, they will promise bim to be food children. Many little boys, and girls too, want more toys and things than they are able to name, and they ure so tired watehing for Santa Claus that they wish Christmas came tomorrow. ‘They should be patient, and wait. Chicuzo ts a very large city, and Sunia Claus has so mniny chimneys tw jump down, and so many toys und booxs and so much candy and goodies to give away. that it takes him a long time to xet ready for his ride over housctops on Christ- mas Eve. He came ‘to town yesterday with a eat loud of Christmas-trees, which he chopped in the country, some of them as fur uwny a5 torty mites. ‘They are grown in large nurseries, and men are kept busy all the yeur round trim- ming -and thinning the branches so thac the trees will uot become too thick and clumsy to dress with toys and candies and~ “light with candles at Christinas. <A day or two ago 8,000 trees were chopped down and sent in on the cars by Santa Claus. He must. have nearly three times as many more, because there are vearly 20,000 trees wanted every year in Chicago, and St: Louis has some good little children yet left, to whom Santa Claus is going to send a few—just a few of his pretty Christ- As near! ry Glaus does noe give Christinas-trees away, and, thisyearhe js selline them at from 5 cents to 325 apiece. The very large ones are for churclics and Sunday-schools, and the very little ones are meant only for the baby. Ssnta Claus has also sent to town great bales ot pretty, feathery green sprays of hycopodium, or ground-pine, which grows in large patches In the region of Eake Superior. It is picked by the Indians, packed into bales, and shipped wherever Sunta Cltus wants it. Ground-piue makes very, pretty decoration when its sprays are woyen with wire or. cord into wreaths and othor designs, or into long lines which may be gracefully looped upon the parlor walls.
