THZ POLITICAL OUTLOOK4 Politics around City-Hall are not a very interesting study at any time. and at present matters are painfully dull. One meets there few other politicians than mere local ones ia the various wards, and their prognostications are barely worth the paper they might be written on. Their opioions vary as to the numloer of tickets that wid be put in the field, some asserting that there will be but two, namely, the Democrats and Benublicans, wink, others maintain that there are bound to be three, the third one ernioging from under the sbadow of the and representing the People's party.

Nearly all are agreed upon the neceesity of having a full ticket for city facers in the field, in case of a negative decision in the charter election ciee. It is pretty that the Republicans will nominate a full city ticket, and this fact alone copes the other party or parties to do the same thing. Of course, candidates are evetya whereevery apartment is full of thorn. Judge Dickey is bidding high for Judge Tree's seat, and has already secured a majority of the Bar in his favor. Col.

tVilsoe would not hesitate a moment for a chaace at the Clerkship of the Superior Court. City-Attorney Jamieson is a candidate for re-elechon. with pr Aabilites of baying a ooposition Limited to P. McHugh, President of the Cosmops." The Aldermen whose terms expire are skipping around lively to see how they stand in their respective wards, and some of them Lave tound cut already that they are left- All each are most blatant talkers against a city election taking place this fall. Should the charter election be decided good, still more of them will find themselves out in the cold.

It wifl neceesitate a reorganization of the Council with but thirty-six members, leaving four out of the present member. These. together with those who will be thrown out on account of their unpopularity, will very effectually disrupt the present combinations of Alder-manic scalawags. Dan O'Hara is a candidate for his old position, and aspires no higher for the present. Mayor Colvin is the sphynx or the entire ranch.

A POOR AFFAIR. TELL THE POLICE SUOULD RAVE STOPPED IT. TEM TRIBUNE'S special prize-fight reporter was present at a Email mill yesterday morning, just before cock-crow, and is enabled to lay before the public the details of the encounter. For the favor of a epecial invitation to the manling-match he is indebted mainly to himself. The principals, second, backere, and invited guests numbered sixteen.

The fight was a sort of an extempoie one; that is, it was arranged -in in a ealoon or gambling-room on Halsted street, near Madison, and grew out of a slight difference of opiriIon between a stout and short yonng man called Bad and a lean and lank one named Charley. The place selected for the ring was that which Steiner rendered famous by his French -Band exploit, known as the Elizabeth street ground, and bounded by that thoroughfare and Madison, Waehingion. and Ada streets. The jovial fourteen directly interested in the mill decided to take passage from Halsted street to the ground on the Madison etreet car which leaves State at 2 a. to- The reporter and a friend were there on time, and when the spot was reached there wais not a bangle policeman about to mar Abe pleasant proceedings.

There were seconds ready with cheerful words to goad the fighters on, and the small mob formed a ring a bile the combatants pulled off their coats. Shorty said rough and tumble, and Mr. Slim Bald nothing but a square would do him. But before any agrecineut could be settled upon the lighters rushed at one another, a couple Of btows were struck by each of them, and then they clinched nod remained in that po- sition about they minutee, when Mr. Elim cried out Time too much rough-and-tumble for him.

Neither pasty was hurt much, and the light after all W115 mere boys' play. A the close of the light the valiant fourteen Mak the next car for Halsted street without any interference from the police.

George Patterson and one Cummings, two notorious characters, are at the Chicago Avenue Police Station pending the investigation of an alleged robbery, in which the former says the latter took 1150 from him. The police doubt the word of both.

and will endeavor to learn if some one else has been robbed of 1150. It is alleged that George M. Beach, of this city, attempted to blackmail J. P. Strattor, of Illomeuce, out of 12,500, and did get 1500.

saying that Jake Itehre had told him to compromise the matter. A private detective in this city named Swinburn found Beach in Chicago and took him to Momence, where he was locked up in default of 13,000 George G.

A good camber of the members of the Chicago Rifle Club met again yesterday in South nark to continue their practice at the The shooting began about 2 o'clock, and, after a rather slow commencement, which was necessary in order to avoid the possibility of danger, it grew lively and interesting. The Captain for the day was J.

A. Shaffer, and, as will be seen from the score, he showed himself worthy his position by heading the score. It was quite evident from the general expression on every one's countenance that the afternoon was regarded as a time of real recreation, and the score which follows will show that the shooting was of a good average, if not somewhat above it. As many of the rifles are better enited to longer ranges. even bEtter scores may be expected in the future, and there is no doubt that the several members will not lace exertion to realize these expectations.

A word of caution: During tbe whole shoot the greatest care was taken, but the number of boys running along the beach. and the Learns which were employed Au carting sand caused some loss of time, and rendered the Captain in charge at times a little nervous. The shooting for the future is arranged for Tuesdays and Saturdays, and from the rapid strides which have already been made in coney. tion with tue Society, there is no doubt thaz the Executive Committee will furnish the shooters with more substantial and ether retpusit3s. The following score speaks for itself, the two best shots being Capt.

lir. Phillips moved that the salary of the Supervisor (Ryan) be fixed at including contingent expenses of the office. Mr. Gleeson seconded the motion. Justice Pollak could not see what expenses called for such an outlay.

It was preposterous to grant so large a sum for an oflice which was a mere BID ecare. Justice Wallace protested against the propoeat, It was, he said, me on-ramie ON THE TAX-PATERS.

liehoo, who, upon the conoittoe that he withdraws from the race, is to take Kimberly's place. Since the County Board ordered the printing of it3 proceedings, membeis have had an opvortunity to test the correctnesa of the records of the Board, that they never had before. Among other things discovered, growing out of the printing of the rroceettines, is that notwithstanding the reports made against Warden Rinaterly, of the Insane-Asylum, the lecorde of the Board fail to present anything against him. This has raised a query as to wno is responsible for the ooetoring" in Ills favor. And this, it is alleged.

is not all of the favoritism that Kimberly has received, it appearing that the reports against him have not only been kept from the records. but etowed away so as not to be acceesible. Who is to be blame? THE NEW comint HOSPITAL TROUBLES- Several members of the County Board yesterday visited the new County Hospital to see how the work was progressing, and to ascertain the truthfulnees of reports made by Superintendent Handley the day previous in reference to the troubles with the contractor for the brick-work. A reporter accompanied them. The walls were found going Up very slowly.

but very subetantially, and otherwise satisfactorily. The Superintendent was on the ground. and repeated his statements about the contractor being behind with his men, and MA with the man furnishing the sand. which he feared would lead to a storpage of the work. The sand-man was also seen, and said that lees he was paid by noon for what be had already delivered---some 500 loadshe would not furnish any more.

The bricklayers were also consulted as to their relations with. the contractor. They were found dissatisfied, and snepicious that they would not get their pay. They reported that a few hours previous an altercation had occurred among the foremen, and that two of- them bad gone off to swear out warrants for the arrest of one another. Oti the hole, the situation looked very gloomy, and the Committee left satisfied that there' was trouble- ahead.

They could not understand. however, how the contractor could be troubled for money, for It was only a few days ago that be was paid over 7.000. In the afternoon the Committee was in scission at the County Building. and hard the statement of Hr. SN illard, the contractor.

He said the Seperintendeat had been trymg to incite a strike among hie employes, which wra toe source of all the trouble. He bad veld his men promptly, and was prepared to pay them right aloug.

If the sand-man fated him, be said.

DELAY 12( PAYMENT. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune CNICA00, Sept.

desire to state for the information of my friends that I have just received the amouot of my claim for insurance against the Liverpool and London and Gone Insurance Company, after nearly one yearend tine months' litigation after forcing the Company to trial at last term of court after judgment was obtained Lyme, a new trial asked for and denied the Company after an appeal to the Supreme Court was prayed for and not perfected and, finally, after an execution was leened, placed in the bands of the Sberiff of Cook County, and a levy wail about to be made. In a short time I propose to lay the fall facts of this case before the people of the Northwest and the patrons of this Company, that they may judge for themselves whether this is the 'tildepeudent action of Mr. William Warren, the General Agent at Chicago, or whether it is the result of a well-settled policy of this Company to force a compromise of its indebtednees by taking advantage of the necessities of individuals compelled to have their money, and by protracted delays. I hope. also, to be able to publish before long a list of other caees than my own occurring in different Tarte of the country, and equally as strong, and all going to prove a certain settled policy on the part of this Company.

Jolla ILWAITS. The above letter was shown to Warren in order tbat he might make any statement he desired in reply to its allegations. What he said was as follows: There were two lionises at Eenwood which were insured 7,500, and were vacant at the time they were burned down. Owing to the fact that they were unoccupied. the Company thought it beet to Investigate the case, and coneeinently put the matter in the hands of Turtle's Detective Agency.

After the of a few weeks the Agency informed Mr. Warren that it would be best not to pay the insurance for the present. After a little farther time had by, Mr. Waite went to Mr. Warren and made -a demand for the money.

Mr. W. told him to call again at the end of a week, intending then to pay him, 'Mr. Waite, however. immatliately began snit without waiting to learn Mr.

Warren's intentions. Mr. Warren further says that no enort was made by him to delay and the moment the suit was decided againet his company a check for the amount of the claim was put in tbe hands of the plaintiff's attorneys. So far as the general charge that the Company tries to evade the payment of its losses is 8.mcerned, Mr. Warren points to the record made by the Liverpool and London and Globe immediately after the Fire of 1871.
