The contest. for the possession of the money to the credit of the Court-House Fund still goes bravely on. Walker was on the war-path yesterday, and left the scene Winking that he wee ahead. The architect refuses to give him an estimate because his contract provides that he shall not be paid any money until the stone has been delivered, but he will recommend that he be paid someihing.Iay $30,000. The way the matter IP ta ud to is.

Walker wanto $10. Otkl, Hinsdale wants $43,000. and Harms $i35, COO, while there is only $17,000 to draw against. It remains to be seen who will come out ahead. Here is another miracle.

A lady living at No. 66 Ontario street was led into the building yesterday and introduced as being blind and in want of coal. She was kept in the background for awhile, all the talking being done in the meantime by her companion. When she came to the front she said that he had been getting provisions from the County Agent all winter, but had not been able to get any cot.1, and invoked the aid of those around to help her. The encouragement she received was not very flattering but she became excited in the dispute which followed.

and. in her nervousness, her sight was instantly restored, and she left the building without being led down stairs. WRIGHT'S NEW BILLIARD-HALL will be opened to-night. This elegant resort is situated at the corner of Lake and Clark streets, and is, in all essentials, the most complete and attractive billiard establishment yet opened in Chicago. MOTHER AND CHILD.

DERANGED AND DYING. Yesterday morning about 10 o'clock a woman entered au Ogden avenue street-car bearing in her arms a very sick Infant. At that time the weather wall raw and bhalr, and sleet was falling. The woman told a pitiful story of how she had been turned out of the County Hospital without cause. The child in her arum began to get worse, and before the car had gone a great way it became aeneeless and was evidently dying.

The apectacle was pitiful. The wailing of the woman, her story, and her apparently dying child, touched the hearts of the pagsengers. Mr. A. M.

Wright, who was in the car, heard her story, gave her some money, and sent her to the Hospital for it (mien and Children, corner of Pauline and Adams streets, in the care of a gentleman. Here bite was taken in and cared for in the dispensary, and the -child bathed and cleanly dressed. I. tnis treatment the infant partially revived. and was soon after able to take some nourishment.

Daring the forenoon a TRIBUNE reporter called at the hospital. and found the woman 11111rWirrt her babe. She stated that her name was Ann Pfeiffer, and that she did sewing fora man named Neilson, at co. 272 Sedgwics street. She had formerly boarded with a Mrs.

Petersen. at No. 401 West Kinzie street, where she had left lier child when she went out to work. tier hastaand left her about two and one-bait years ago, with two children to care for. fie wee a cooper by trade, and she says that he was killed at Ashtabula.

lier condition was indeed a home, and a very sick child. It waa suffering from inflammation of the stomach and lungs. a bad complication of diseases. Miss Dr. Brown did what he could for the little sufferer.

but the woman seemed ungrateful for the kindness shown her. Her manner was that of a person suffering from severe irritability of mind. She claimed that she had been abused at the County Hospital by a Mrs. Villiams, who was for three months at the Women's and Children's Hospital, suffering from chronic liver disease. and pronounced incurable.

She left because the medicines had not helped her child. and she did not receive proper attention. At the County Hospital the reporter discovered that she did have a fuss. but that she left of her own accord. Dr.

Meyer stated that her child was dangerously ill, and that it Certainly would have been inhuman to have turned her away. She came Monday night. and wanted to leave neat morning and allow her child to stay in the Hospital. he was very abusive to all. and the nurse, Mrs.

Kegler. stated that she did not appear in her right mind. They could not detain her when she wanted to leave; hence they allowed her to go, but warned her of the serious results that might ensue. She, however, walked rapidly away, and would listen to nothing. THE CITY-HALL.

The growth of literature was noticed, as well as the increaee of educational facilitiee. In inviting their triensas to their graduating exercioes, the class did not, of couree, make great pretension.

Andrew Richmond, as Assignee of Merril Ladd, filed a bill yesterday in the Superior Court against the Utica Cement Company, Merril Ladd, President of the Company, G. B.

Kirtland, its Secretary, Mary T. Moore, William C. Grant. William U. Swift, Charles Kern, and William Fogarty, in which he charges Grant and Swift, attorneys, with some sharp practice, and asks for an injunction to prevent the proposed sale this morning of certain shares of the Cement Company belonging to Merril Ladd.

Complainant states that in August last Ladd owned 2,598 out of the 3,000 share' of the Conipany's stock. Being at the time involved, he made a voluntary assignment of his property to complainant. This Included 1,446 shares of the above stock, the remainder having been pledgedito other parties as security. or being then in the name of Merril Ladd Co. The lawyers who drew the assignment were Grant Swift, and Swift since that time has been managing Director of the Company.

They were also the attorneys for the Company, and of course were wel aware of the transfer of Ladd's stock to complainant. On the morning of Feb. 19, 1877, complainant went to the Company's office to get the stock transferred on the stock-boOks to him. He Met the Secretary and stated his wish, but the latter refused to make the tranefer until he had seen his attorney, and until Mr. Ladd was present.

Richmond then hunted up Ladd, and they went again to the office and waited two hours for Kirtland, but did not see him. The next morning they went again and made the same request, but Kirtland refused to make the transfer on the ground that Ladd's stock tied been levied on by the Sheriff on an execution in favor of Mary T. Moore. Complainant then went to work to and out the facts reopecting this levy, and ascertained that Grant and Swift, acting aa attorneys for Mary T. Moore, had recovered judgment against the Company, of which they were also lawyers.

Execution was immediately issued, but no levy was made until after complainant's viait to Kirtland. Richmond now charges that alter he made his first demand on Kirtland to transter the stock. the latter went to Grant and Swift told them of the demand. and they then took stelae to have the Sheriff levy on Ladirs stock before it could be transferred. These shares of stock have by the order of Grant and Swift, or Swift, to the Sheriff, been advertised to be sold this morning at the door of the Court-House, and 'tutees the Sheriff be enjoined the sale will take place.

It is further charged that Kirtland, Grant and Swift, and Mary T. Moore had actual or constructive notice that Ladd had transferred his otock for the benefit of all his creditors to complainant. In December, 1876, John O. Pierson began a snit against the Company to recover the amount of some of its bonds hela by him. Grant and Swift.

the Company'e lawyers. made no defense, and judgment was entered by default. Mr. Ladd then emnloyed other attorneys. after execution had been issued, and OK motion and affidavits the execution 'vat' quashed and the judgment Me aside, on the ground that Grant and Switt bad colluded with Pierson to procure the judgment.

Richmond moreover, alleges that Pierson, Grant, and Swift. failing in their first scheme, have since colluded together to procure a levy and sale Nor Ladd's stock, so that Pierson by buying it might control ot the Company. The annual meeting of the stockholders will be held March 7, and Pierson ts making a strong effort to gee the Company into his hands. When Land was sick in July last, Swift was made Managing Director. and he has gained ouch influence over Kirtland that the latter octs wholly under his control.

and by hie direction refused to transfer the stock to complainant. The thiiree are now worth little, because the Company embarrassed, but by good management they may become valuable. Richmond, therefore, asks that the propooed sale this morning may be stopped, that the stock belonging Ladd may be transferred to him on the Company's booxs, and new certificates issued. The injunction was issued as a bond for $500 be-tag ern given. Messrs.

Clarkaon and Van Schaack appeared for complainant. A DISGUSTED maws ON TMN PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. Last October an enthusiastic Democrat named Henry Petillon made two bets, one for $50, the ether for 5100, with A.Courtney Campbell. a young man who is well known not a thousand miles from the Government buildings, that Tilden would be the coming President. CainpbelL as a good Republican, of course imt up an equal tine, and Jesse Hippie, the clerk of the Tremont House.

was chosen ak the stakeholder. For the first ten days after the election Petillon was confident he was ahead, but since the appointment of the nigh Commission the visions of that 1,1,150 have grown fainter and fainter, and be hes bedewed his pillow wita tears at the thought of the way the Democrats away their chance when they agreed to arbitration on any condition but that of beada-l-win-tails-you-lose policy. Finally, as he read the decision on the Louisiana question hie hopes vanished, and he went to Campbell to have the bet declared off." The latter could not see any reason for backing out when be was sure to win, and declined. Petillon then went to nipple to get the money. but that individual also failed to comply, and this morning when complainant read the 4:15 a.

tn. dispatch in THE Tetat-NE. and saw that Gov. Hayes had been declared elected. he determined Campbell should not get the money, even though he should be compelled to plead the baby act," and yesterday he tied a bill for an injunction against Hippie to prevent him paying over the money, though without giving any specie reason for his request.

except that a suit In law against hippie would probably be unavailing. OBADIAH JACKsON. In the case of Hollister Gorham vs. Obadiah Jackson, a creditors bill, the Receiver of the latter. Adiai T.

The Committee on Streets and Anew; of the South' Division met in the City-Clerk's office yeeterday afternoon to coneider the question of the extension of Dearborn street.

There were a number of citizens present, some in favor of the extension and others deeiriiir that the ordinance making the extension he repealed. Both Fides were repreeented by counael, and much talk wan indulged in. The Connnittee temporarily diapoaed of the matter by referring the question to the Law Department for investigation and an opinion upon the powers and duties of the Council in the prerairres There are rumors that the Mayor intends to use his official power to materially reduce the amount of the Appropriation bill by vetoing a number of items and cutting down others. It is said that he will reduee the fieures for peat indebtedness to about half their present size, and the sewerage appropriation to a large extent. The item for twenty-live horses for the Police Department he will undoubtedly eliminate unless he shall be advised that he ran legally divert the amount of the item for the general good of the Department.

His Honor has not yet looked over the bill. and it cannot be raid exactly what he will decide to be best for the municipal interests. The above are rumors which have lenked out in the usual way. The monthly report of the Department of buildings shows that in February the receipts were $5e8, from the following sonrces: 142 building permits (180 structures). $90; 30 street-obstruction permits.

$30: 79 house-moving permite, $395; 13 house-moyers' licenses, $13. The cost of the buildinas represented by the 142 permits was while for the month of Fehruary, 1870, when el permit') were issued, the amount was $2e3. GOO. The other work of the Department in the peat month was the serving of 180 notices for violations of the building ordinance. with the requirement() of which notices 130 builders complied find 5a were granted time.

One hundred and sixty-four violationa were noticed by the inspectors. 41 were reported by citizens. and 19 houses were built without violation of the laws. The Council having Ostensibly finished their labors on the appropriation bill, some of the city employes are auxiously asking. What next?" The next thing will be to publish the ordivance for ten days.

Meanwhile the Council will be at work upon the other bill which they are obliged to pees. and then thh one already iiniahed can be certified to the County Collector. and in anticipation of the collection of the amount mentioned therein money will be borrowed. the wheels of the municipal machinery greased. aud the mischinery wet actively in motiotn And then the employee can be Daid their January and February salaries, But there is some dissatisfaction amour the officials about the amounts appropriaed for the different departments) and purposes, and it is said that an effort will be made have the bill reconsidered.

If it is, of course matters will be delayed. Scarlet fever appears to be on the increttee. as twenty-live deaths have occurred already thia week. This number is an increase over last week, and the disagreeable weather is thonght to be the 'chief cause. The new cases of disease reported veeterday were at the following places: No.

12 Peck court. No. '284 Weat Twelfth street. NO. 145 SecLiwiek street, No.

544 South Canal street, No. 137-sonth (amen street. No. 4S0 Marahfield avenue. No 107 Thirteenth street, and No.

Carroll Street. Dr. Hall. the Medical Inspector of the North Division, made a report ye.terti:ty coveriur all the cases. about twenty in number.

under his eye. He says that with one exception the infected boesee are cleunly and in good sanitary condition. and that the want of nurses is very little felt, ()wine to the fact that be people are more eareftil. told havelearned to take better care of themselves and their premises. None of the cases are considered dangerous.

and there were hopes that the life of the disease in the North Division was fast Swimming extinct. The Doctor urges care in reeard to the removal of the warning cards. saying that in some instances they have been removed almost before the sick had recovered and before the houses had been dieinfected. The Time of yesterday morning contained an article which attempted, by a combination of misstatements, to show that there was not in the city a good public improvement, and in the article it was stated that the old lake tunnel, leading from the crib to the North Side onmpine-works. was caving in and fast going to piecee.

That statement drove a reporter to City- En ainee Cheshrou gh yesterday, and he was asked what lie knew of the condition of that tunnel. Ile was very much surprised at the enterprise displayed by the and could not see how the information had been obtained. He knew of no late examination of the tunnel. It had been examined uhout three years ago, when the tunnel ua been pumped out and inepected, and the outside had been looked over by a diver. Ile was enre that the tunnel had not been pumped out and inspected, and had not beard of any diving inspeetion.

Three years ago, after tne tunnel had been in use seven years, it was found to be in perfect condition. and it was not likely that its conuition bad changed much since that time, for the work had been done satistatorily. As to the other statements in the Times article, the City Engineer smiled incredulously. and said that be had been asked by one of the city officers what new scheme for municipal abase had been I devised.
