Smith. ing scavenger makes complaint to The Tribune that the Health Department compels the night scavengers to use disinfectants while pursuing their odoriferous vocation, and says that the purchase of those disinfectants from the Health Department is practically ooligatory. He hints at the existence of a ring, and says that a man named Hirsch makes all the Department disinfectants. A reporter yesterdav took time to inquire into the subject of the complaint, aud ascertains that the Commissioner of Health some months ago issued an order as follows: fcisch scavenger asking for a permit to clean a privy -vault must, on receiving a permit, purchase from the Clerk, or from some other source, two pounds of sulpho-carbolie acid to be used as a disinfectant lu the work. And he will not receive such permit until he Surchases the article or presents a receipt showing that has purchased elsewhere.

All the Department disinfectant is furnished by the firm of Hirsch because that firm offered to manufacture it most cheaply. The disinfectant is of a particular kind, because that kind is used by the New York Health Department, and is considered the best lin use. It contains S5 per cent of carbolic acid. The wording of the order will certainly make it plain that Mr. Scavenger can purchase his disinfectant where he chooses, if he gets the right kind.

Tbe price charged by the Health Department is twenty cents for two pounds of the liquid. If the scavenger can get it cheaper elsewhere, he is at perfect liberty to do no. The handling of it by the Department is a nuisance, and causes a loss of both time and money the latter because on sundry occasions the clerk of the Department was indiscreet enough to trust scavengers.

Capt. John Tobin, for some years a resident of California, later or St. Louis, and more recently of this city, where he now lives, is one of the principal witnesses relied upon by District-Attornay noward, of Salt Lake City, with whom he is in communication, lo prove the personal connection or Brigham Young aud other Mormon magnates with the massacre of Gentiles. ne is the Tobin mentioned in John D. Lee's con-iession as one whom the Mormons planned to assassinate, and whom, having been le by them for dead, was never expected to prove a witness against lliem.

His lengthy story, as 1old to-night in an interview with the city editor of the State Journal, is, in substance, that he was with a surveying partin the fall of 1856 at Fort Bridger, and was enabled to be of service to the Mormons in bringing tidings of and sending relief to a party of liuropean Mormon immigrants crossing the plains, who otherwise must have perished iu the storm. This. service Brigham Yonng. then Territorial Governor, gratefully recognired, and appointed Tobin. who had formerly been in the 1'nited States-army, an Instructor of Territorial Militia, and his appointment as such was published in the JJeneref Xeu.

While he was so engaged, Tobin says the Indians were friendly, although Brigham insisted on the contrary, as a reason ror organizing the militia. Soon Tobin ionnd the Mormon forces were to be used against the Government, and squads of cavalry were employed as Avengers. He then resigned. Later he undertook to guide a party to alifornia composed of men who, having been outspoken against Mormonism. regarded themselves as destined for assassination by the Mormon "Avengers." The party, three besides Tobin, started, and had got as far as an Indian Agency, alioutlifty miles south, where they were overtanen by a party of mounted Mormons, headed by Brigham Young, who.

while professing continued friendship for Tobin, said the latter companions were enemies of the Mormon Church, and would not be allowed to go to California to misrepresent Mormoaism there. He had his orders, be said, and must carry them out. The fugitive party claimed the protection of the Agency a few days, Young going off. They finally continued their journey, and just beyond Til more, in Southern I tah, were overhauled by a larger party, under pretense of examination on a petty charge. They were permitted to resume their journey, but observed that a party was continually on their trail.

Reaching a rocky detile they encamped for the night, and towards morning were awakened by a firing upon them. Touin's companion fell at ihe first volley, aud he soon after. The Mormon party did not stop torobtfccni, except taking their horses, but, supposing them dead, rode away. Sixtv hours afterwards they were found by the United States mail-wagou and a party en route for San Bernardino, Cal. They survived the trip, and two, Tobin heard, shortly died.

He was shot through the corner of Uie right eye, and still carries the bullet just under the jugular vein, tne shot ranging down, and again in the shoulder. Tob.u has since been in the army, and Rerved in the late War. but, lately, the old wound has made him nearly blind. He withheld his information, believing it nusaie to divulge it, but now, at the cal! or the officers of the law, will go to Utah. He is assured of protection by the Government.

His relations with Brigham were very intimate, and he claims to have documentary aud other evidence of plotting against Gentiles and the Government. Judging by District-Attorney Howard's letters, he seems to regard Tobin as supplying an important link in the testimony, and as a very important witness. LOUISVILLE'S FESTIVAL.

A meeting of the Chicago t'nion Veteran Clnb was held in the club's rooms in the tirand Pacific last v.ien, Martin Beem presiding. Several applications for membership were received and referred.

dsi Sherman street. The physicians who had atten-cd eu the deceased, Drs. Tho.nas W. Dee ring, J. S.

Hnnt, and J. R. Brawcr, were present, anu explained that death lesuued nara.ysis of the heart. The operation, watch was for fistula, had been successfully performed, and the anesthetic withdrawn, when the patient suddenly collapsed. The friends of deceased expressed themselves as satisiied thai no necessity exi-ted either for an inquest or a post mortem examination.

Accordingly a medical certit'eate as to the ranaa of death was aigned by the three attending oa sicians, and am lM BBBBa II "i i lJ I would be well to CALL UPON TUE NEW MATRON, Mrs. Forsyth, for her views as to the possibility of cutting down expenses. The" suggestion met with favor. The Matron stated that she had found the hoii'-e in a bad condition when she cauie into it. There was an evident lack of discipline, aud she nad found that there was a great deal to be done before she would be willing to ask her friends to visit the Home and to contribute to its snpport in supplies and money, she referred to the boarders in the house, and said that many complaints had been made that they were not of the right Kind.

If a better class of boarders could be bad, she waa sati3lied that this would become a paying feature of the Home. She also believed the people did not really know the wants of the Home, and thought that if they did they wouid contribute more liberally. What was needed was more discipline and responsibility in the various departments. As yet, her time had been spent in putting things to rights, but when the Home waa" in better condition she intended to institute the other reforms she bad alluded to. There were certain things which she needed immediately, and which she read off to the Boaid.

Among them wera various articles of tinware, for which Mr. Adams generously gave her an order. She was assured of the warm support of the Board, each and all of whom were most favorably impressed with her manner. After some discussion, it was decided to await the result of a month or two of the new Matron's administration, in the hope that that result will be favorable to the idea that expenses can be reduced and the institut.on be kept from getting behind. The members of the Board also promised to redouble their exertions the way of appealing for contributions lo the people.

THE SHANLEY MURDER. THE POLICE ARB STILL BUSY upon the Shanley murder, but have thus far succeeded iu making no additional arrests. They are keeping mum as to who did the shooting, but a German afternoon paper, the rsi fretse, sets all doubts on that point at rest by publishing the names of Gannon's companions in the buggy. Gannon's stories are so mixed up that the opinion is gaining ground that he himself is the murderer, and not the two others who were with him. Other circumstances point in the same direction, and should this be true, he is undoubtedly leading the police a wild-goose caate.

Closer investigation has developed the fact that the people residing in the vicinity know much more shout the affair than they care to tell, and, if any arrests are made today, it is likely to be those of wi messes in ibe case. The facts are simply damnatory to every man, woman, and child in the neighborhood. The body, it will be remembered, was not found nntil after 3 o'clock, whereas tne shooting occurred at abont I'gSiO. The same party had been around about 10 o'clock, and hd fired one shot at a dog belonging to a man named lieynolds. They went away, and, returning shortly after midnight, were raising so great a commotion that a number of the neighbors were aroused.

And to their discredit be it said, not a few of them saw the shot fired, neard the man fall and groan, and gave no aiarm I ecause they were afraid to! But the exact particulars in this respect can only be obtained by the Coroner, who certainly ought lo make the inquest as complete as possible. The people are so cowardly that they will not tell the truth to a policeman or a reporter, and can omy be made so to do by putting thein upon oath. Huewoman.it is said, living close by, saw the entire occurrence, and, to save trouble as a witness, shut down her window and went to bed. Another heard one of the trio say "Shoot," saw the man fall, heard him groan, and then heard another one of the trio say, "He's dropped." Tho police are convinced that the shooting was witnessed, and are making a minute search for such witnesses. Woy shanley was shot is a mystery, but the correct solution probaoly is that ho was mistaken for an officer in citizen dress.

He was returning from his brother's house, and was attracted by the noise the young roughs were making. He was standing at the time he was shot in the shade of a building on the corner owuedbv Gannon's family, and in the rear of which they reside. Tbe trio were not in the buggy when the shot was ared. as Gannou states, but were on trie crossing, tae buggy standing a short distance ofi. Gannon says it was the man who was driving that shot, and this, together with the fact that they were not in the buggy at all, wouid seem to strengthen the suspicion against him.

He is UnOAii lo be the person who fired the first shot at ihe dog. and he is known to have been with thj trio I hat shot Shanley. I ntil his accomplices are captured, however, all is more conjecture thau tact. The bugy was yesterday identified by Town-send A Gooding, of Waoash avenue, and was stolen from tbe corner of Madison etroet and Fifth avenue. THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT.

IT 19 NOT BUYING FKOVISIONS HERE. An article was pabiished in yesterday's I.tfer-Orean stating that agents of the French Government were in this country contracting, here aud elsewhere, lor large supplies of canned and packed meats, and intimating that various Chicago firms were busied in tilling contracts made wita one of the aforesaid agents. A reporter called on Mr. W. J.

Wilson, of the Wilson Packing Company, one of the persons whom the inter-Ocean discoverer intimated had been seen by those secret agents of the French Government. Mr. Wilson manner of denying aU knowledge of the affair was unique. "It's all a lie, said he. "Kara wind.

Bosh, in the first place, France has got a year's provisions on hand. If she went into the war which is improbableshe would have ineihing to go on for a year. More than that, ens wouldn't have meat put up in that way; it'a too expensive. Twelve ounces per day for one man's rations! Why, no Government on earth gives a i.ian more thau sixteen ounces of fresh meat, and these folks would hive a uiaivget twelve ounces of pressed beef. Oh, it's too ridiculous.

The French Government wonldn't bay meat in such a way and in such BBath. So nrtlil- Emperor to the eommand of the KhtffI Grenadiers was celebrated was a ball, at which the Emperor himself, the Crown Prince, Prince Frederick Charles, Count Von Moltke, and many others of the chief officers of the German army were present. The opening- dance was a quadrille, in which twelve pairs took part, dressed in tbe uniform worn by the regiment when it vas formed eiirbty years atro. Four of the pairs wore the dress of the tfrenadier battalion, four that of the fusilier, and lour that of musketeer battalions, the grenadiers aud musketeers being: clothed in blue ami yellow with silver lace and ornaments, the fusiliers having dark green collars and light green facings. At the request of the Emperor the quadrille was repeated, being closely watehed by him with evident interest.

Addressing the officers of the regiment, the Emperor alluded to his ixecnt vis.it to Alsaee and Lorraine, remarking tTiat until he had thus had the opportunity of personally inspecting; the battle-fields of Weissenburg ami Wortn be.tiad failed to properly appreciate the difficulty of the task performed there by his regiment, although the losses it had suffered were sufficient proof of their gallantry. PETROLEUM. Agitation In Oildom Over the Dig Strikes Transportation Schemes. Titusville, Pa. Jujf 7.

Oildom is now feeling the great agitation that invariably follows the discovery and development of "bonanza strikes. The immense gush of the oleaginous compound, whieh astonished the petroleum world a few weeks since, has steadily increased. As the quantity of the crude article has accumulated prices have declined, and at this writing a prime on can be purchased at $1 per barrel. This, of course, seems a meagre price for a barrel of petroleum, but the speculating and fhrewd operator can make a handsome margin by selling his stock at that figure, and the present transactions are said to be more profitable than they have been for several years past. Old producers tell Thk Tribune correspondent that there is more cash in the industry than ever before in the history or petroleum-production, and the prospects improve daily.

The opening of the Henderson well." No. 5. in the Bullion -Run dictrict, which spout ed 4,000 barrels per day. and the subsequent striking of the "Big Medicine" and "Big Injun wells, so elated some of Ihe despondent operators that a grand rush was made for the Armstrong and Clarion County regions. So quickly was territory gobbled up and operations commenced, that at this date there have been put down between seventy and eighty wells, more than three-iourths of them being largely productive.

The plucky and enterprising oil-men pushed their operations so vigorously that the production hasadvanced rapidly. The product has increased fro(p 27, 000 barrels per day in January to 90,000 barrels daily in July, an increase or 13.000 barrels per diem in a little over six months, and about 4.000 barrels over and above the daily consumption; and abuniant opportunity is afforded the tanking and pipe companies to replenish their almost exhausted stocks. In previous years the exportation of crnde petroleum was heavy; but the exporting business for the past six months has exceeded anything vet in that lne. The total quantity shipped was 91585, -756 gallons, against 40,499. iMB gallons exported duriflg 1S76.

ornearly 2.000.000 barrels. over double what it was last year. This excellent show -ing will give an idea of the extent and profitable state of the oil-interest. Weathv and speculative petroleum-operators are apoarently never satisfied unless hatching some colossal scheme to transport the hydro-carbon to points outside of the producing centres. There are now no less than three projected seaboard pipe-line movements on the lapis.

The prospects are, that two of the lines, which were to extend from the Butler district to Baltimore and Philadelphia, will be abandoned on account of the opposition of the Pennsylvania Railroad Companv, whose agents at the State Capital, last assisted in certain legislation necessary to make the undertaking a success. The third scheme will probably be successfully accomplished. As this seaboard oil-line is to be constructed on a plan different from the conduit-lines now grtdironing the oil-fields, a description of' its principal operations may be inte. esting to the reader. The line will extend from Buffalo to New York, and form a connection with the old line between the Clarion and Kean oil-districts and Buffalo.

The line will be known as the Belief Pipe-Line, and is backed by the Boston capitalists connected with the I nion Pacific Railroad Company, who are also interested in the gigantic railroad transportation and oil-renning enterprise, which has been agitating the petroleum-country during the summer. The iron pipes to be used in this long line will be fonr inches in diameter, and connected by screw-joints. Tbe pipes are to be laid upon the surface of the ground, except when they pass through cultivated fields. In the latter case, the line is sank out of the way of the plow. A pipe-line makes no account of the inequalities of the surface, except, of course, that it is more convenient, and takes less pipe to go upon a level.

No grading, tunneling, or trestllng is to be done, except where unusually rough places are encountered. The cost of the pipe will reach about HO cent" per foot; and it will be manufactured in such a manner that it can be laid lery rapidly, as the pieces will have only to be screwed together. The whole cost, complete, will be somewhere near $5. 000 per mile. The oil-ststions ahst is, where the crude petroleum is supplied from the will be, on the average, about twelve miles apart.

Bach one of these is to be fitted with a tank, an engine, and force-pump; and the plan adepted for conveying the oleaginous fluid is to foroe it from one tank to another. A littie more power is required in cold weather to force a given quantity a specified distance than warm weather, as the oil Dccomcs chiiled. Two men are sufficient as each station or tanK, if one is a telegraph-operator, as there is a wire alone the whole line and an operator at ech station, to give immediate information if anything happens, or is needed, at any point between the tanks. One watchman is required for each ten miles. This officer walks back and forth each day over his beat.

GROVER. ciu auu de ejUm common aod deie- Yp trioux believers. He thought next Tuesday evening wouia be early enough. Col. "i hamberlain announced that converts were being rapidlv made, and introduced a Mr.

Sergeant was called upon, but said that, al-thourh converted himself, he was not yet sufficiently; well posted to produce arguments in support of his oclief. Mr. Hovt expanded his chcet and informed the American people that the country was waking up to the great truths of the rag-money doctrine. He was followed bv Mr. Washington, who declared that the Greenback party meant business.

Several other apostles of the assignat spoke their little pieces, and the meeting having voted to hold a terrific gathering at the same place next Tuesday cveuing dissolved into airy nothingness. UNDER A CLOUD. DUGAN, CASE SI'KARS IN TROUBLE. The firm or Dugan, Case Js Spears, operators on 'Change, is under a cloud. About a week ago their checks were thrown out by ttie Merchants' National Bank "through a misunderstanding." ThiB fact found its way to Delhi, Ind.

aud resulted in a run on the First National Bank or that place, or which Mr. Dugan was President. About $150, 000 waa withdrawn by the farmers. This weaKenea the firm considerably, and, after consulting with their friends, in view of the shrinkage in real estate and the possession of bad paper, it was decided to suspend and settle up. Accordingly, the firm ceased doing business in Hub city, and the Bank-Examiner wound up the Delhi bank.

The assets of the latter institution are said to be 000 in excess of the liabilities. The firm decline to state the amount of their liabilities, but it is understood that they are not very large. Some of the claims have already been adjusted, and others are in process oi settlement. The firm have a large quant ity of real estate, and also some "good paper, and no fears seem to be entertained by the creditors regarding their claims. The younger Spears said yesterday that everything would be straightened out as soon as his father returned from California, and that business would be resumed in less than a month.

The Delhi bank would not be started again as a National Bank, but would be run as a private institntion, as it was for twenty years previous to the War. This is the first trouble these gentlemen have ever experienced, tnough they have been individually in the commercial line for many years. Mr. Dugan lives in Delhi his partners are residents of this city. THE COUNTY BUILDING.

Six prisoners were discharged from the jail yesterday, the Grar.d Jury having passed on their cases and failed to find true bills. Sheriff Kern, who has been absent for two weeks, was heard from yesterday, lie is sojourning at Montreal, Canada, and does not expect to return before next week. Austin J. Doyle, late Clerk of the Criminal Court, yesterday paid $1,402.01 into the County Treasury, the same being the amount of fees collected from January to July. The North Chicago Assessor returned his personal property books yesterday.

They show the assessment for 1S77 to be $1, 451, 3B0, against $1, for the orevious year. The Grand Jury yesterday did a heavy day's work, disposing of thirty eases, all of which were of minor importance. Nothing further was done with the complaint of Commissioner Holden. The Assessors of the Towns of Lake. Palos.

and Northfield returned their books yesterday. All of the towns have now returned except West and South Chicago. Maine, Lake Viaw, and Hyde Park. The Committee on Equalization will enter on its active work a week from next Tuesday, and continue in session from day to day until the work of equalization has been completed. Ita meetings will be.

held at Hall between the hours of 10 and 4 clock each day. Tne Committee on Public Service yesterday agroeu to advertise for proposals for furnishing the county witu coal and wood the coming year. The bids are to be opened a week from Mondav. The matter of advertising is simply a formality, as it is understood in advance that the award to be made 10 Baker, the present contractor. The State's Attorney vesterday received a telegram I'rotu the prosecuting witness in the Brooks auortion case, asking when the case will be called for trial.

This wouid seem to set at rest the oft-repeated report that the witness had been made away with, and to latere her attendance when wanted. The Criminal Court was not in session yesterdav, owing to Judse Fnrwell being engaged in hearing the liArms injunction case in one of the civil courts. 'I'he Judge was over al 9 o'clock, however, to discharge the jury in t- a case of James F. Caulfield, who nad been on trial the day before for an assault with intent to kill, it having been unable to agree after huving been out all night. A temporary loan of $100, 000 talis due the lPth inst.

and the County Treasurer is trying to me-1 it. The chances now are that another loan will hnve to be negotiated to puy it with, in which event the money which has been already set aside to meet it will be appropriated to tiking up outstanding county orders. There is no authority for so diverting the money, but it has been done before, and ay be tJone again. The tax cases occupied the County Conrt again yesterday. The objections were of the same general character as on previous days, and, with few exceptions, met the same fate were overruled.

All oi what are Known as general cases were disposed of, and to-day dome objections to the school tax in the Town of Jefferson will be heard, and then will come objections to the South Park assessments. So far, for obvious reasons, no appeals ha.ve been sked for or taken from tho decisions rendered. The work on the Conrt-House still drags slowly along. The masonry contractor is now being delayed by Walker, and it wont 1 not be surprising, unless a speedy change is made, to see Sexton demanding damages.

The Saengerfest is even a greater success than at first thought, and it is no exaggeration to say that its musical excellence has never been equaled by any similar event in America. Louisville, in addition to its decorative splendor (and in this regard the display is presents a scene oi joyous satisfaction rarely witnessed anywhere. The hotels show the greatest indux ol strangers ever congregated together in and it is all the city can do to hold the immense number present. Fest-Hall tonight is packed to overflowing.

The citizens' mass-meeting in regard to Wheaton College, Saturday evening, it is alleged, produced a marked effect on President Blanchard. who earlv ou Sunday morning procured the si -natures of three of the Trustees of the college, who have lately been disposed lo follow his directions, to a paper requesting Mr. Blanchard to give aw address at the Court-House in reply to the argument of Mr. Claf-lin. It is thought, however, that the meeting will be attended simply by the Trustees of the college, and a few of their friends, as the citizens generally have no desire to listen to the President.

The Citizens' Executive Committee, at a tneeCnr held last evening, unanimously passed the following resolutions: Whereas, A meetirg of the citizens of Wheaton for the purpose of addressing them upoa sueti questions as may be suggested, has i een called try Mr. Jonathan Blanchard.

and Davis present. The use of the lake-front ror July was given to the Norwegian M. E. Church. A petition was received from the prominent taxpayers 6f North Evauston requesting a sewer be built along Central avenue, connecting with tbe big ditch.

Referred to the proper committee. Tne Village Clerk reported that SO. 500. borrowed by the village of George Watson, would be due July 21. On motion, the President was authorized to meet as much of tins indebtedness as the funds in the Treasury would allow, and to provide for the remainder, either by extension or new loan.

The Water-Works Committee was ordered to confer with the lake-pipe contractors concerning the position of the piles, and to hold tnem respon? sible for damages done before the work was accepted by the village. The official bond of Robert F. Scott, amounting to 510. 000. with Robert Mmpson and Isaac Pooie as sureties, was accepted.

Adjourned for two weeks. IlTIlE PARK. A large part of the population of Hvde Park are at present anxious for a change of government from a village organization to that of city. The persons interested have been ouietlv talking the matter up. The act under which such change is proposed is the amendment passed by the last legislature, and is Sec.

4 of an act lo provide for the incorporation of cities and villages. It reads: 'Any incorporated town or village in this State having a population of not less than 1, 000 inhabitants may become incorporated as a city in like manner as hereinbefore provided, but in all such cases the President and Trustees of snch town or village shall respectively perform the same duties relative to such change or organization as is performed by the Mayor and Council of cities." The hereinbefore provided is the presentation of a petition signed by oi.e-eighth of the voters, and a vote at an election of a majority in favor of the incorporation. Whether the matter is brought up before winter is a matter for those interested in village affairs to talk up. SaHi fnstiraneo arraii q'innuti-8 anrhow. uy, tnev live on soup, I 1 1 I .) i.

This law, concerning which he asks, makes it the unty of the Cjnstabies or police to arrest all vagabonds upon view, or acting at the request of any person, but, in order that the sub reqnest should amount to anything, he must fi'-st nuke out a written complaint, obtain a warrant from officer authorized to issue one, for the arrest of tne particular tramp whom he ts aftor.

The law. while an improvement on the old one, is not of much use for suburban districts, where officers are scarce and Justices of the Peace hard to find. The simplest plan probably, where one is not a member of the humane Society, it to put a little strychniae or arsenic in lacraeat and other supplies furnished the iramp. This produces death within a comparatively short period of t.uie, is a warning to other tramps to keep out of the neigh-borhooxl, puts the Coroner in good humor, and saves one's chickens and other portable property frcai constant depredation.

M'CAFFREY AND THE PUBLIC. Very little was heard yesterdav of McCaffrey and his pr iposed charges against Kgan. The impression was that he had changed his mind in the matter, but it is hoped that the impression waa without foundation. He ought to make his chareB by all means, -or get some one to make them for mm, and go to the bottom of this whole Court-House trouble. While he is in the investigating and reform mood, he should ieave nothing undone; and, if he goes to work earnestly, in view of the facilities be has for knowing the inside of all county crookedness, he can place future Grand Juries under lasting obligations to him, and when he retires to his Iowa farm tuis fall the gratitude of the public will follow him.

He should arraign Egan not only for his mors recent sins, but snould go back a few years for a starting-pjint, and ascertain just how it was he was selected architect. and why it is that ever since he has been giving a lion's share of his earnings to the mucn-abused Periolat. And after showing Egan and Periolat up in their true light, his work would be but haU finished if he failed to look into the dickering and dealings of the several county contractors for the last three years. Ue should inquire into Walker's issuing 50. 000 in notes to secure the contract weeks in advance of the letting: into how it is that Sexton has been so abundantly favored how Hogan has maintained his standing with what is known as the and especially as to what is the tie oinding some of his fellow Commissioners to Hinsdale; and why it is that that individual every time he goes East selects Commissioners as his companions, and in the generosity of his soul, pays their expenses, even to the buyin" of the pomade for their honored locks.

In fact, if he once starts on this line of inquiry, the difficultv will be to know when to stop. THE CITY-HALL. i imin nni 6 Your Old Clothes LADIES AND GENTS. Can be bemtifuiiy DTKT or CLEANED anil IIEI'AIK-ED, at Expressed C. O.

The steamship Wisconsin, of the Williams Guion Line, arrived here yesterday from Liverpool, and landed a party of Mormons, including a corpulent and rather lively Bishop, who called himself ftowoerry. The Bisnop was busy among his Bock when the Tint's reporter approached him, and he wiped his broad faoe and smiled a genial smile as he held our his hand.

He was very willing to give information, and said that he had been thirty years in the Western conntrv. meaning the Mormon country. Ten months ago he was sent out to collect together the converts a score of Presidents or missionaries in England. Wales, Switzerland, Norway, and Denmark. The result was that he came btck now with 24 Kng-lish families, numbering 84 persons; 112 German-Swiss, 01 Norwegians, and 150 Swedes, the remainder of the party or upward of 700 being, made up of Danes anu Hollanders.

There were a great many very old people, and also many children, in the party, but it was not without a share of youth and beauty, although the beauty was htgh in the cheek-bones, and too rugged for New York belles. The grade or intelligence was apparently low, but some or the men who conversed about the Church and its prospects evinced an earnestness and familiarity with affairs which was by no means indicative either of ignorance or stupidity. Huge packages of baggage were strewed about the floor, and groups of Swedish women wearing broad straw has with ribbons hanging before their fsces from the bands, with which they restrained the tendency ut the hat to blow off ith the slightest oreese, kept watch of the toddling children. The presence of so many old and young persons in the party was explained by the fact that the more vigorous members of their families had gone out uefore them, and having earned money to bring their parents and younger relatives out, they were now spending it in getting the old peoole over the water and out to I'tab. In conversation with one of the Castle-Garden missionaries, a Welshman told the missionary that he was not a Mormon, althoueh of the party, but that he was desirous of going into the country to try his lortune there.

The party were lat evening taken out of the city by the Pennsylvania Raiiroad. and will be in Salt Lake City in the course of the next week. The King of Prussia's Grenadiers. Pml-Mall Gazette.

NEWSBOYS' HOME. DEMAND KOIt MONEY. SA MA Rl TA JS JSB jHaaa core foT Kl'ilnUo Fits. Conrltit-o wvi bring me one of those fellows alive. If Cd only known they were coming over here, yon bet your boots I never have sent a man to Europe to see what chance there was lor supplying Hussia and France Chicago meats, i considerable of a Yankee, you know, and had a kind of an idea that we con Id just best the worid on our production in the meat line.

But I found I was mistaken. Hussia has just about 2, 000. 000 more head of cattle than we have. Well, my man went to France after looking over the field in Kussla. and finding it was no use fooling around there.

He has been in Europe about four months and hasn sold a dollar's WBftfc. That will show wnat crunce there is for exporting meat to France. He sails for home on the 17th and gives it up as a bad job. I guess if I'd had a chance to make any contracts, I should have made them thrausrh him, and 1 guess I should have heard something about the business if any of the meat dealers had been interviewed by these secret agents. I haven't heard a thing about it.

It's a lie, as I believe I remarked before; a lot of wind; a sensation with no truth in it; improbable on its face, on its back, and every other way. The gentleman, as if to make his statement all the stronger, avowed his willingness to bet anybody $100 to a herring that he was right, and that the stoiy was made out of a very large piece of cloth. MR. GOOCH, of the firm of Gooch St Barber, had seen the article in the Int er-(Mean, and pronounced it as beinsi equally untruthful and sensational. There was no agent of the French Government in Chicago buying canned meats, and there had been none.

The foreign trade generally was in a nourishing condition, but the French were I no more than their usual supply of provisions. Somebody had given a guileless f. -ft man a "still," and the only way in which the thing could have come aoout, in Mr. Gooeh's opinion, was thai a French gentleman representing a ousluees firm in France is at present in the city trying to make contracts for a supply for the ensuing year. Ho in no sense represents the Government, and no one in Chicago does so.

Mr. George Brougham, manager of the Chicago Meat-Preserving Works, said the Inter-Ocan had stumbled on a mare's nest once more. There was no French representative the city if there were, he would oe certain to know of the fact. There was not a word of truth in the atory, nor a shred of foundation for it. In conversation with Mr.

Brougham at the time was the French gentleman referred to. He coincided in the opinions expressed, and declared in indifferent English that the whole story was rubbish. He was in Chicago aoout bis own business, and that only. THE GREENBACKEK9. HUNTING AN ORATOR.

Cardiff Mail. A distressing event occurred at Lydney on Friday week, and was tbe subject of a Coroner's inquiiy ou the following day, vie. the death of Henry Larkham. a retired farmer, from the sting of a bee. It appeared from the evidence given before Mr.

M. F. Carter, Divisional Coroner, that about a quarter to 5 o'clock on the day named Mr. Larkham was in his son's garden, and, on passing in front of the beehtves. received a sting upon the temple.

The old gentleman at once returned to the house, and asked a young man named Lloyd to fetch the blue-bag, which was done, and the liquid blue was applied. Lloyd likewise, at the request of Mr. Larkham. took an egg from his pocket which he had gathered from a nest. Cpon sitting down in the yard Mr.

Larkham had rninted, ana was bathed with vinegar and water. This, however, proved a powerless restorative, death supervening within a quarter or an hour aHer the sting. Dr. Gimblett was called at the inquiry, and stated that be had been sent for, but deceased died before he could reach tne house. He had since examined the body, and found a wound upon the right temple inflicted by a bee.

This it was which caused death. Upon this testimony the jury returned their verdict. A Boy's Somnambulistic Freak. Vnudersport iPenn. Journal.

On Wednesday night last Eddie Uillon, son of Mark Gilion, aged about 11 years, went to bed about 10 o'clock, pretty tired and complaining of a ore throat. At 1 o'clock he knocked at the door ol Mrs. Collins, complained of having had "awful bad dreams. and, upon being shown a bed, lay down and slept soundly until Thursday morning. When, upon awakening, he was surprised to find himself away from home.

He had in his sleep, without clothing, walked aoout sixty rods, crossed Mill Creek, and held a Jrt conversation with Mrs. Collins. In leaving nome he had carefully fastened the gate, and in all respects acted as when a.vake. except that he omitted the usual formality of putting on some clothiog. It was a very singular instance of that little understood nervous disturbance known as somnambulism.

Van Osdel. Cary, aDd Kvaii. appointed to inq.iire into the workings of the Department of Buildings, held a meeting yesterdav afternoon, and with the Superintendent of Buildings looked over the building and lire ordinances. It seems that some misunderstanding has existed as to the portions of the law to be enforced by the Building Departme-it, and what purt fell to the care of the police and firemen. The result of the Committee's work, which was not concluded yesterday, wiil be the distribution of the work between those who are expected to perform it.

The Building Department has two men, and to ask them to see that no irregularities are committed, no combustibles stored where they should not be. no elevators without proper guards, no new lumber-yards started, and to spend one-third of their time in the prosecution of violators, is the veriest nonsense, and an impossibility.

To offset this, there were collections amounting to $700, together with what the ladies might have collected during the month, or what it was prooable they would collect within a short time. Leaving this out or the question, however, the institution needed $1,960 to make it cn with the world.

Mr. Peck said he had hoped to raise $:00 on the Boaro of Trade, and thought he could easily have done so had it not been for the St. John fire which had appealed so generally to tne people's' generosity. Se'veral ladies reported progress in this matter of raising money. One could collect $100 in six Wiieks; another had a check for f'j-another had $lg, and a promise or Ta a.
