friends from California. The beer-garden picnics at Kuhn's Park Sundays have aroused the indignation of the law-abiding people of the lower portion of the village. Three churches and Sunday-schools are within less than two blocks of the garden, and the din and uproar is so incessant as to disturb these places greatly. Affidavits to the number of eighteen or twenty have been sworn out, some in regard to disturbing religious services, others in regard to the deterioration in value of property, and several as to the class of persons who visit the place, the games of chance carried on, the selling of liouor to minors, etc. Papers praying for an injunction have been placed in the hands of State-Attorney Grinnell.

LAKE. The Town of Lake Democracy have elected Edward Tilden Chairman of the Central Committee for the ensuing year and J. R. Muiroy Secretary. They also adopted a resolution urging President Cleveland to appoint Thomas Mul-cahy to the office of Second Lieutenant in the United States army.

The new Election law was discussed at a meeting of the committee, but no action was taken thereon. The principal champion of the law was Charles S. Thornton of Normal Park, who referred to the Democratic frauds in several wards of the city in not very complimentary terms. All the brick-yards located in the vicinity of Thirty-ninth street and Ashland avenue are now closed, and there is but slight probability of their being reopened this season. There will be a meeting of Irish-American citizens this afternoon at the Town-Hall, to arrange for a suitable testimonial for James Stephens, the Irish exile.

TN ION VETERAN CLUB A REG ULAR monthly meeting will be held in the lecture-room of the Methodist Church block, Clark and Monday evening, July 13, at 8 o'clock. in the know At 10:30 yesterday morning Willie Benson, 9 years old, and August Funz, 14 years old, living at No. 70 Wesson street, were playing with a 32-caiibre revolver, when it accidentally went off, shooting the Benson boy in the lorehead, close to the right eye. He was attended by Dr.

Cunningham. Mrs. Mattson, 50 years old and living at No. 46 Sloan street, and Fred Egwald, 12 years old, living at No. 32 Sloan street, were out riding in a buggy yesterday, and when at the corner of Centre street and Halsted street the horse became frightened at a sand-waa-on and, running into a telegraph-pole, upset the buggy, throwing the occupants to the grouDd.

Mrs. Mattson was tlightly injured, but the boy was hurt about the head. At 8 o'clock last night a team of horses attached to a barrel-wagon and driven by two boys about 17 years old became unmanageable and ran into Van Buren street car No. 563 at the corner of Lincoln street. Mrs.

Maypole, one of the passengers, living at No. 382 South Clinton street, was seriously injured in the back. A number of other passengers were slightly hurt. One of the boys, named Charles Colwin, was thrown out of the wagon and badly injured. He was picked up in an unconscious condition and taken to the County Hospital.

He was afterwards taken to his home, No. 1628 Garibaldi street. expos for til snsi Cloaks and Dresses Of the latest styles and most recent importations, Regardless" of Cost! Regardless of Value! pons The ij i-' the dt and Las cor res the parity of the London market since early in June. As the importers and dealers in this country did not think the advance would hold for any length of time, they endeavored to realize on what stocks they held, and did not order out any large amount from England and the Straits. The price in Holland for "Bitteton" and Banka tin was such that these brands could be bought for prompt shipment to this country and brought to New York at a lower price than Still, dealers were afraid of a break in the London market, and tne importations fell off very considerably.

The demand from consumers was good, and for the last month has exceeded the and stocks have been daily growing lighter. The break in the London market had been expected about July 1, but instead of a "break" came the sharp advance of July 4. Higher prices were then seen to be inevitable, and orders to buy came in freely. The effect was felt at once in New York, and the price advanced to 22 cents cash. Late yesterday afternoon Messrs.

H. T. Lock wood Bro. received a telegram reading as tollows: Naylor Co. have bought all spot tin offered at 22 1 cents, and are bidding this for more.

Twenty-three cents is asked. Naylor Co. control spot stock, and it is probable they will put the price to 24 cents before next Saturday." As it will take nearly three weeks to get supplies from London and Holland, and the market in this country is cornered for that length of time at least, and as the foreign markets are likely to advance in sympathy with the market here, the high prices of 1882 now appear more than probable. Tin-plates have ruled strong during the last few days, and yesterday's advance in pig-tin can hardly fail to cause higher prices in ail grades of tin-plates. THE MISSING.

TWO MORE ADDED TO THE LIST OF DISAPPEARANCES A SUGGESTION. Those who watch the police reports closely have noticed that there seems to be a certain kind of regularity in the way in which the cases occur. One week there is an epidemic of suicides; the next week there will appear to be a boom for murderers; the next, perhaps, burglaries will be frequent. Just at present mysterious disappearances are attracting the notice of the detectives. Three disappearances were reported in Saturday's Tribune and two more came to light yesterday.

The first one was reported to the police then for the first time. It was that of Reinhold Seye, a candymaker, who lives at No. 638 Blackhawk street. He was last seen Wtdnes-day noon at the corner of Desplaines and Lake streets. He is 24 years old.

has black hair and mustache, and is a little below medium bight. At the time of his disappearance he was dressed in dark clothes and had about $2 in his pocket. He was not a drinking man, and his friends suspect he has metwith foul play. The second case was reported to the police July 5, but they did not care to help out the solution of the mystery by reporting the case to the press. Early in the forenoon of Tuesday, June 30, Bertha Lernas left the house of Mrs.

John C. Wilcox, No. 533 Carroll avenue, -where she was employed as a domestic, to go to her home at No. 91 Sangamon street. She said she would return in the evening.

She did not do so, however, and the next morning Mrs. Wilcox went to her house on Sangamon street and found that she had not been there. None of her friends have seen her since. A young man named John Flood, with whom she was on terms of intimacy, admitted that he received a letter from her July 3, written from the North Side, in which she said that she was safe. Flood, however, claims to have destroyed the letter.

It is said also that Bertha was in com-muniaation with a girl on North Clark street, who wanted her to come and live with her. The family say that she is a girl of good character, ana that they cannot account for her failure to come home. She is 17 years old, and wore a blue Jersey and checked silk skirt.

Howard Jones Superintendent of the West Division Postai Station at the corner of Wasblng-toL and Halsted streets. Tho position is wortb $1,755 and a bona of $2,000 is required. Mr. Jones has been connected with the Associated Press, has been Clerk of the Railroad and Ware-bouse Commission, Chief Clerk of the Grain Inspection Department, and was a member of the State Democratic Central Committee in 1876, when he earned the reputation of being an earnest and efficient organizer. He is from Pike County, and is said to have been strongly recommended.

He succeeds Guy T. Gould. Another appointment will be made Monday. The ward-workers were intensely infllgnant at the appointment. Jones was denounced as a Republican, a non-residerit, and as a nobody because he had never been heard of in a ward caucus.

THE CRIMINAL COURTS. THE HUNTING JURY DISAGREES THE ITALIAN MURDERERS NOT YET SENTENCED. The jury that tried Mrs. May P. Hunting for the alleged manslaughter of, LUly Pearl Howard, an infant charge at defendant's "baby-farm," failed to agree and was discharged.

The twelve men were shut up in the jury-room from 2:30 p. m. Friday until 10 o'clock yesterday morning. Foreman Henderson told Judge Hawes that it was utterly impossible tor the jury to reach an agreement. During the night two jurors were won over lor conviction, making the jury stand seven lor conviction and five for acquittal when discharged.

State-Attorney Grinnellsaid the case would be brought up again for trial in September. Judge Hawes did not sentence the three Italians convicted of the, murder or Filippo Caruso as was expected yesterday. The statptes provide that the death penalty cannot be imposed until ten days shall have elapsed after the first day oi the term of the Supreme Court next ensuing. The sentence then, as Judge Hawes said he understood the meaning of the law, cannot be executed before Sept. 11.

This con struction of the law was not observed, however, in tne case of Daoey. The day of sentence wili be Aug. 24, but next Saturday was set for the hearing of the motion for a new triaL CITY AFFAIRS. SUITS DECIDED FAVORABLY MICHIGAN AVENUE STREET SIGNS DERELICT IN THEIR LICENSES. City-Attorney Washburne is making a good record.

He tried four suits last week, and came off victorious in three- In one case, where $1,000 was claimed, the city had no defense, but the plaintiff got a verdict for only $500; in another $10,000 was demanded, and nothing recovered; in the two others, $5,000 being claimed in each, the juries disagreed, eleven out of twelve being fpr the city. When the South Park Commissioners removed the oid lamp-posts on Michigan avenue they promised to restore the street signs, but have not done so. Commissioner Cregier wrote them yesterday requesting them to comply with their agreement. The absence of the signs is an annoyance about which there have been many complaints, and ths Commissioner will do all he can to induce the Park. Board to restore the guides.

The licenses of the packers, slaughtering and rendering houses, and glue manufacturers were due May 1, but none oi them have taken out the documents. Notices were sent out yesterday requesting them to do so at once, and thereby save costs.

An unknown man was found hanging to a tree in the north end of Lincoln Park at 4 a. m. yesterday, dead. The deceased was about 35 years old. He was dressed in dark clotnes, and bis underwear was evidently obtained from the County Hospital, where he had probably been an inmate.

A PORTRAIT COLLECTION OF THEM ALL. C. D. Mosher, No. 125 State street, has just completed an excellent collection of the Mayors of Chicago from its incorporation in 1837 down to tho present time.

The pictures are all three-quarter life heads and are genuine freehand crayons. They are allowed by connoisseurs to be remarkably faithful likenesses, and reflect credit to Mr. Mosher and his special artist, Mr. Shogren. The portraits have been chiefly obtained from old photographs, and in more than one instance under circumstances of great difficulty.

That of Mayor Lloyd, Who tne city from 1840 to 1841, taken from a small, faded photograph inside the g'ass of a finger-ring, while that of John B. Chapm, Mayor from 1846 to 18i7, was enlarged from a photograph on a stud. The twenty-lour portraits are set in separate spaces in a large and elaborate gold frame which now adorns tne wall of the hall outside Mr. Mosher's studio, in the centre of the group, side by side, are the faces of William B. Ogdcn, Chioago's first Mayor, and Carter Harr.son.

Beneath William B. Ogden is the hardlined but characteristic visage of Long John Wentworth, while under the p' cture of Carter Harrison is a pleasing reproduction of Joseph Medill. Right over Harrison is F. C. Sherman, from whom Carter caught the inspiration und meaning- of the third term." To the left of the bottom row is the benevolent though foroible face of Augustus Garrett, the founder of the Evanston Biblical Institute.

Like Mayors Raymond. Woodworth, Gurnee, Haines, Rice, and Hetith. Mr. Garrett twice wielded the supreme civic power. To the of Mayor Medill are his successors in office, Harvey D.

Colvin and Monroe Heath. Other striking portraits are those of Mayors Morris, Ramsey, and Gurnee. This is the only collection of Chicugo's Mayors in existence, and a proposition is on foot to have the group placed in the To the right and left of the Mayors Mr. Mosher has hung striking full-length portraits of Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas, whiife over the stairway bangs a life-like representation of Chief Justice Sidney Breese.

Morris Raffsky, who was found guilty on a 6econd trial of conspiracy to bribe certain members of a grand jury of this county, was sentenced yesterday by Judge Hawes to pay a fine of $650 and costs, to be worked out at the rate of $1.50 per day. Mrs.

Raffsky, who was In court with her two children, begged tho court to ba merciful to her husband, her only support. On being informed by the Judge that no leniency would bo shown the woman fell in a swoon into the arms of Lawyer Greeley, and was carried to the women's waiting-room, where she lay apparently dead for twenty minutes. She was brought out of her fit and taken home in a carriage. Raffsky's case has been pending in the Criminal Court over a year. It was charged that Raffsky made an offer to the lather of Fritz Niles, a young man accused of burglary, to fix the grand iury so as to prevent the indictment of Fritz.

For doing this service he charged 25 and the money was paid. The grand jury set Fritz Niles free, and then Raffsky demanded $25 more for "fixing" the jury and $15 for "costs," the latter amount being paid. Raffsky was tola when on trial that the original bond in Fritz Niles' case was lost, and, believing this to be the fact, he admitted that he had received $25, but said the money was bis pay for signing the bond and not lor the purpose of bribing the susceptible grand juror he had worked. The bond was found later with the Niles indictment, but Raff-sky's name was not on it, and this decided the case against him. Hosiery Dept.

A woman, living then in a town in the western part of the State, visited this city, and, on returning home, brought a little girl with her, for whose custody she never could give a satisfactory explanation. Her replies to the many inquiries regarding the little girl were so unsatistactory that most, if not all, the inhabitant of the town believed she had stolen the child. Fearing that trouble would come to her on account of the suspicions of her neighbors, she settled up her affairs and moved away, taking the girl with ner. For a time none ot her old acquaintances could learn of ler whereabouts, but finally succeeded, and your correspondent is confident she can be found if wanted. I am unfortunately not able to give a very accurate description of the girl in question, but will be glad to put interested parties in possession of such facts concerning the case as is known by one who knows more than I do.

The girl was said to be 21 months old and wore good clothes, poorly made. M. B. HOME AGAIN. THE MILWAUKEE ST.

PAUL EXCURSIONISTS WELL PLEASED WITH THEIR TRIP. The excursion party which Started for a trip over the line of the Milwaukee St. Paul Railroad last Monday returned to the city Friday evening. The route taken was via Milwaukee to St. Paul and Minneapolis, thence to Aberdeen, Mitchell, Omaha, and Sabula, la.

Reports had been current at New York that the company had been allowing its lines and stock to run down, but the members of the excursion party declare that they found exactly the opposit. The railroad stock was found to be in excellent condition, and the roads generally in a highly satisfactory state. Several of the party appeared on 'Change yesterday, and recited their experiences to groups of interested listeners George Baldwin was well satisfied with the general appearance of the crops, and anticipated a good harvest should no accident occur.

75. Great ID i Bargains All of Our Departments THE WEST-SIDE CAR COMPANY. THE CASES OF THE DISCHARGED MEN DENYING SOME HUMORS. "I do not understand," said President Jones of the West Division Railway yesterday afternoon, "how the papers got the idea that all but two of the sixteen men whose discharge caused so much trouble had been reinstated. In seven of the cases I have mado no investigation at all, and as a result seven of tee men have not yet been reinstated.

Three went back to work the first day after the strike, four the second, and two yesterday. I am taking up the cases as fast as my other duties will permit. So far as all this talk about the removal of men employed In the office is concerned I want to say that I know nothing of it except hat 1 have seen in the papers. I have not been' asked to secure Superintendent Lake's resignation, and tne statement made by an evening paper that the directors had decided on certain removals is utterly false and without foundation. These statements cause us great annoyance, as they make the men feel insecure.

They cannot do their work well under the circumstances, and one of them was made sick so that he could not work at all." RIOTERS IN COURT. Tne Desplaines Street Police Court was packed lull with the friends of the rioters arrested last week. Of them sixty-eight were dismissed; forty-one were fined $1 and costs; one was fined $2, and one $10. At the request of Mr. Billings, the President of the Gas Company, the seven employes of his company were granted a continuance till July 21.

William Forrest appeared for the prosecution and Messrs, Buttner, Horns, Nicholson, and Colby presented the defense. Tho first case to be contested was that of Peter Conbov, and Capt. Bonfleld and Officer Tierney testified that they saw him place lumber on the track in front of an approaching car. Acting on the advice of his attorney be pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct and was fined $10. By agreement It was decided that If the men would plead guilty to disorderly conduct they would be mulcted a small amount and the tine suspended.

A few ot the prisoners were reluctant to do this, but were finally induced to do so by their attorneys. Frank Thurston, a colored man, would not plead guilty to the charge of riot. He claimed that he had been sent to a drtig-store by his mistress, and was pushing his way through the crowd when he was struok on the bead by a policeman's club. The officers in the case not appear, and he was discharged. An Italian, in whose name there were twenty-two letters, was discharged because from the way he pronounced his name no one could tell whether he was the rigtit man or not.

Nearly every day complaints are made at Central Station that a crowd of boys infest Gamblers' alley and do everything dislionest, from pilfering to picking pockets. Four detectives swooped down on the alley yesterday and captured two boys They were engaged in shooting craps at the time, 'but were identified as among the best pickpockets In the city. They were given quarters at the The manner in which the new building to be used by The Fair is being constructed at the corner of State and Adams streets is exciting comment. One of the faults found with the work was that tho joists were not beveled where the ends rest upon the walls and that holes had been made in a division wall to extend the joists into a chimney. The Superintendent said the holes had been cut into the chimney by mistake and that they would be closed up at once.

As to the beveling of the joists he said this was not neeessary, because the ends were made to extend but four inches into the wail, and that in case of Are they would slip out the same as if they were beveled at the ends and extended In eight inches.

CAUGHT FLIM-FLAMMING." Robert Roberts, alias the 'Gorilla," was arrested yesterday afternoon in a store on North Clark street, between Ohio and Ontario, for playing the "film-Ham" game, which is done by confusing the salesman in making change for a large bill laid down by the player In payment for some small purchase and tnen stealing part or the change. One trick is to tender a $20 bill for a lew cents' worth of goods. The salesman brings the change and lays it on the counter, which is no sooner done than the "liim-tlam" man remembers that he has the exact change In his pocket, pushes the pile of change toward the salesman, stealing some oi the larger pieces as lie aoes so, asks for bis $20 bill, which is returned, and, producing the price or the goods bought, with his free hand, walks out enriched by the pieces of money he has stolen. Officer James O'Donnell caught Roberts at the trick. A BRUTAL HUSBAND AND FATHER.

John Graves, a brutal-looking man about 50 years old, appeared before Justice Russell yesterday on a charge of wife-beating. The evidence showed that bis offense was of the most aggravated kind.

THIRD SEMI-ANNUAL MEETING OF THE CATHOLIC 'TOTAL ABSTINENCE UNION. The following circular has been sent out by Father Hogan to all the Catholic Total Abstinence Societies in the Archdiocese. It explains itself. The Rev. Jame M.

Hogan is President and J. J. Dilion Secretary: The third semi-annual convention of the Catholic Total Abstinence UDion of the Archdiocese of Chicago will be held at the Union Catholic Library, 121 La Salle street, Sunday afternoon, July 12, at 2 :30 o'clock. Spiritual directors, member of the Board of Government, and County Vice-Presidents are ex-otricio delegates. We sincerely hope that every total abstinence society in the Archdiocese will be represented in the convention.

The greatest obstacle to the progress of religion and morality in this country, intemperance, with its retinue of disease and death, is now stalkme over the land like an awful and gigantic plague, warring everywhere against light and virtue and exhaling darkness and sin. It is doing Its fell work amongst our brethren in race and religion. Is It not time lor extra efforts to arrest its march? Our societies can do it if ihey will but try. At the coming convention we will give expression to our abhorrence of the sin of intemperance, and we will form plans to build up our total abstinence societies. The business to be transacted is of great importance.

Cadet societies are entitled to three delegates to the convention. Reports from each society belonging to the union wilt be received ar.d read. Three delegates will be elected to represent the union at the National Convention. Other matters of great importance will come up fer the e-d liberation of the convention.

GROSSMAN 158 State-st. TO PHYSICIANS AND INVALIDS. IREND'S KUTSS MILK CHAMPAGNE (TRADE MARK) Should be the reliance of the physician in all those cases of debility in which prompt improvement of the general tone is imperative. Knmyss is the blandest aud most easily digested food, and as snch the best nourishment for a weak stomach; at the same time, through the process of fermentation which Knmyss undergoes, medicinal qualities are developed which we vainly look for in materia medica. In nausea, vomiting, extreme cases of dyspepsia, Kumyss acts like a charm, promptly relieving all the distressing symptoms of such cases.

When the stomach rejects all else, Kumyss in retained aud assimilated, affording the patient nourishment, strength, and com fort, and, as a logical consequence, nervousness ceases and refreshing sleep follows. In scarlet, intermittent, gastric, and typhoid fever, Kumyss is the best diet. It satisfies thirst and hunger and allays the fever. Kumyss has considerably the advantage over drugs, in that it can never do harm. To dose an irritable stomach with drugs is an absurdity which no intelligent physician attempts in this day.

But not only in extreme cases should Kumyss be resorted to: it should be the chief remedy tor a weak stomach under all circumstances. The dyspeptic brain-worker with a tew glasses of Kumyss a day will improve his digestion and his nerve Ladies would be less nervous, more vigorous, and healthier-looking if they would add to their daily diet a few glasses of Kumyss. Send for treatise on Kumyss. Bewara of imitations. Arend's Kumyss is not sold to Druggists but to consumers only.

LAKE BLUFF. Yesterday was the third day of the camp-meeting at Lake Bluff, and, altho the campers gather more slowly than last year, the hotel has lost its lonely look, while the tents and cottages are well filled. There were Drobabiy about 250 on the grounds yesterdav. The Rev. Dr.

Reference was made yesterday to the discovery that, as printed in the Council proceedings, the ordinance granting Everhart, Lomax Clare the right to lay down mains and operate gas-works in Chicago contained no enacting clause, and hence was no ordinance at ail. Search has been made lor the original paper, but it cannot be found. It should be in the custody of the City Clerk.

Mr. 1'iautz has bunted high and low for it without success. It was never delivered to him nor can he learn who has it. Mayor Harrison thinks it is somewhere around tne City-Hall. Tho impression prevails, however, that one of the Aldermen who went to New York to negotiate the of tho franchise lor 8100,000 carried the ordinance with him lor exhibition.

Nothing can be learned as to whether the saie was effected or not. If not, it is unlikely that auy one would buy the franchise now, in view of its questioned validity. Should the sale have been made, however, the purchasers will have a lively time if they attempt to tear up the streets, as the existing gas companies would doubtless taae steps to prevent them doing so ifnder a void ordinance.

The Public Library Board met yesterday afternoon. Harry Rubens, the President, stated that Mayor Harrison had just informed him of his decision to veto the ordinance appropriating $25,000 for the fitting up of the top story of the new City-Hall for the library, because no emergency existed now which did not exist at the time the last appropriation was made. The Mayor would recommend, however, that a portion of the building fund saved up for the Public Library be used to finish the City-Hal! library rooms, with the understanding that the amount used be restored to the library fund when the next appropriation was made. This announcement Was received with satisfaction by the members of the board. The monthly report of Librarian Poole, showing an increase of 32 per cent in the circulation of library books during June last as compared with the corresponding month of the preceding year, an increase of 12 per cent in the patronage of the reference-room, and of 6 Der cent in that of the reading-room, also a very large increase in the sub-delivery stations, was received and placed on file.

A vote of thanks was passed to Messrs. Joseph Medill and C. E. Andrews for donations of books. The board then went into executive session.
