Luedke was away, however, and couldn't entertain his visitors, as he no doubt would have done had he been present to receive them. But they got along very well without him for the time being, for they discovered a "plant" which they immeaiatelv proceeded to seize for and in behalf of tbe Government.

Under his barn they found a twenty-five gallon still, admirably constructed for illicit purposes. Luedke had simply taken up the planks, dug out a hole, put in the little distillery, and, when not working, the whole thing was" closed up, the planka replaced, and no one would have suspected the presence of anything but a stable, where the proprietor's horses were wont to enjoy themselves. The officers also found a larger still, a 200-gaIlon arrangement, constructed probably in accordance with the new amendment to the Revenue law, which permits a vinegar-manufacturer to have such a still for certain purposes and under certain conditions. The still had not been registered, however, and the officers accordingly laid hands on it aud seized it. A custodian was put in possession, and Luedke will be received ia becoming style when he puts in an appearance.

Hooker, at Ojo Caliente, reports that these runners were met with in the San Mater Mountains looking for Victoria and his people, but probably too lata to find them. The troops have followed these Vscaoed Indians into Arizona, and thence south towards Mexico, where they have probably joined other renegade Apaches as reported by Maj.

Morrow, of the Ninth Cavalry. Col. Hatch reports that there is great danger of raids from these Indians, which will give considerable annoyance to the settlements. It is presumed that there are about 100 bucks in the party, but fortunately they have with them many women and children, some of whom they brought from San Carlos, Arizona, and the fact that the troops wiil make it so insecure for their families may induce them to listen to the runners who wish them to come into the Mescalero Agency, where they can be assured that the troops will not follow them. In case they can be induced to return, the great expense of a long pursuit will be saved to the Government.

HOME OF TH1 FBIBNDLBSS. The annual reception of the iady managers of the Home for the Friendless was given yesterday at the Home, No. 911 Wabash avenne, and was a great success. The house was decorated throughout with flowers contributed by friends of the Home, and the parlors presented a tasteful appearance. Visitors thronged the premises all day, and were loud in their expressions of admiration at the exquisite neatness and good management evidenced on every hand.

During the afternoon Miss Zoe Swissheim, Miss Bangs, and Miss Howard favored the visitors with instrumental music, and Mrs. Enoch Root gave some recitations which were greatlv appreciated. The Rev. Arthur Little, Elder E. M.

Boring, and Dr. Thomas looked in during the afternoon, and each made brief addresses.

Quinn on the charge of arson was continued before Justice Wilson yesterday morning, and the prosecution closed their case, after putting on the stand A. H. Darrow, the agent of the Agricultural, who testified that, to his knowledge, Mrs. Baldwin had not been promised any reward or immunity. On the cross he said that Kinney, the adjuster, said to him that she was the key to the fire, and the first interview Kinney had with her was in witness' private office.

He went with Kinney to see Mrs. Quinn on Michigan avenue. Mr.King desired to draw out that the Company had used false pretenses to get her into the State to arrest her, saying that this showed bad faith on the part of the prosecution, and affected the witness' credibility. A long talk followed, and the Court ruled against the defense. On the redirect witness said an appointment was made with Mr6.

Quinn to come to his office to meet Kinney with reference to the proof of loss, but she did not come. The warrant was then sworn out. The defense wanted to further cross-examine Mrs. Baldwin, ask her some questions in regard to statements made by her about the fire different from those she testified to. Mr.

Van Arm an promised to have her present at the next session. Mr. King applied for a continuance for ten days, in order to get his witnesses, as some of them had to be brought from a distance. A week was granted. HOTEL ARRIVALS.

The Mayor proposes to throw the responsibility of appointments on the heads of departments; hat is, he will turn over to them all the applications, and let them make selections for subordinates. A good deal of dissatisfaction is expressed at this course, and tne number of his Honor's opponents in the Democratic party is apt to be increased.

The 2 per cent limitation for city purposes does not seem to annoy the city authorities much; thev have as yet not looked into the matter, considering it too remote. Mayor Harrison said, "Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof," and Comptroller Gurney. That if the assessment wasn't large enough to yield what was needed for expenses, it would have to be increased. The judicial election being over, the workers are receiving their reward, four getting positions in the Department of Public Works yesterday, Capt. Dan Gleason as Inspector of Sewers, vice Hallanin; ex-Aid.

Bailey, who didn't resign; and Andrew Dunne, Foreman of South Division streets, vice George N. Houghton, who handed in his resignation. These appointments were made by Commissioner Waller at the suggestion, it is understood, of the Mayor. The bill limiting the issue of scrip to 75 per cent of the tax-levy has been turned over to the Corporation-Counsel for an opinion, not as to its validity, but on the point whether it is applicable to the present year, aud, if so, whether it covers the whole year, or only the expenses to be incurred after July 1, when the law goes into effect. The Mayor and Comptroller are loth to talk until they understand the exact nature of the law.

Tbe cash is about gone, and preparations are, malting to print the paper. If only 75 per cent of the levy can be made available by issuing scrip after July 1, the expenses will have to be cut down nearly 25 per cent, if the present salaries are retained, and this will necessitate the discharge of many men. Otherwise, the employes will have to be satisfied with three-quarters of their pay now, and wait a year or two for the rest to be collected. The outlook is certainly embarrassing, and the Mavor and Comptroller are exceedingly vexed at the situation of affairs. THE LAKI WATEB.

That VVnlf How lot as abundant in the water supply of Cleveland, Milwaukee, Detroit, as in that of Chicago. Occasionally, however, organisms are found which have been carried out to the lake crib by the lake or river currents from the breakwater or shore, where, at certain seasons, they are found in great numbers, especially near the river or sewer outlets. Stornw scatter them in the waters of the lake for a considerable distance from the shore, and, when occe taken into the tunnels and mains, they continue to multiply, and a few can be found in the water supply at almost all seasons of the year.

Nearly all the real impurities in the hydrant water come directly or indirectly from the sewage and river water discharged into the lake. The purity of the hydrant water was undoubtedly largely increased by the reversal of the course of the Chicago River, and it can only be maintained by preventing the discharge of all impurities into the lake or extending the tunnels 6o far from shore as to be beyond their influence. The paper shows quite plainly that the water supply of this city is excellent. COUNTY BUILDING. UDVU Gen.

Spbisgfeild, 111., June 5.

Following is the Governor's message vetoing the" so-called "Truck State op Illinois, Executive Department, Springfield, June 4. 1879. The lion. George H. Harlow, Secretary of State Sik: 1 tranemit to you herewith House Bill No.

751 for "AnacttO protect Isomers, miners, mechanics, and merchants, to be tiled in your office without my approval. My objections to this bill are as follows: This bill provides that "it shall be aniawfu.1 for any person, tirm, or corporation to pay as wages, in liea of lawful money of the United States, to any laborer, miner, mechanic, or other workman, employed by such person, firm, or corporation, goods or supplies, or any order, check, scrip, or other device or consideration representing goods or supplies, or charge on the books of account or pay-roll of such person, firm, or corporation, any amount on account of goods or supplies furnished in any manner to such laborer, miner, mechanic, or other workman, against any wages due. unless such laborer, miner, mechanic, or other workman, of his own accord, without compulsion or from fear of losa of employment, desires to or does enter into a written contract with the person, firm, or corporation employing him, to receive as wages a given amount of goods or supplies, the kind, price, and amount thereof to be sjiecifically described In such contract at the time or prior to his engaging in such employment. There is a proviso in a subsequent section of the bill that nothing in the act contained shall apply to FARM OE DOMESTIC SEBVASTS. A violation of the act by any person, firm, or corporation is declared a misdemeanor, and suo-jects the offender to a fine of not less tdau $20 nor more than $100.

The evil, or supposed evil, sousht to be remedied "by this bill no doubt is the alleged practice or baoit of overcharging on the part of employers for goods or supplies furnished by them to their employes or laborers whose necessities may oblige them to purchase supplies hd-on the credit of their labor or wages. It will be seen that the section of tlie bill quoted can have no practical operation upon any other class of employes than such as may need or require supplies in anticipation of their wages. The laborer who has the money in hand to buy his goods or supplies has no occasion for credit, nor occasion to be charged with anything against his wages to become dne. It is, therefore, only the employe who stands in need of credit for supplies or 20ods who can be affected by this section of the act. Tbe act declares that no employer, under pains and penalties, shall le permitted to furnish to such employe needed supplies upon the credit of his labor or wages.

It is true there is a proviso that such supplies may be furnished if at the time or prior to the employment a written contract be entered into, specifying the kind, price, and amount of goods or supplies to be furnished: bnt when it is borne in mind that the periods for which employments ran are many of them in-detipite in point of time. many for twelve months and many, by the month. it will be at once perceived that in most cases it would be UTTERLY IMPRACTICABLE FOB A2i EMPLOYE OB LABOBER to Vcow in advance and be able to specify the exact amount and kind of supplies he might need for all this period, nor would any laborer willingly so restrict himself: and, upon the other hand, it would be equally impracticable for the seller to foresee and to be able to specify in advance for such periods the prices at which such articles of supplies could be furnished. The prices of all necessary supplies are subject to market variations which cannot be foreseen or known, so that practically there could be no compliance with the terms of the proviso by either party, and the practical effect and operation of the section will be the same as though no such proviso were attached. The effect, therefore, of this section remains as a provision declaring it unlawful for an employer to furniBh to an employe supplies upon the credit of his wages or labor.

The consequences and effects of such a provision are far reaching, aud will be better understood and appreciated if we state it according to its legal effect and operation a different form, namely, as a provision which forbids an employe or laborer to receive from his employer goods or supplies upon the credit of his labor or wages. In this light we can tbe better understand THE CONSEQUENCES OP THE ACT. It Is a recognized fact that the larger employments throughout the State are based upon a system of payments to employers monthly. This custom has grown out of the necessities of business, and cannot be overthrown bv legislation without greatly disturbing business. In this condition of affairs, when it is remembered how considerable a proportion of employes receive their wages only by the month, and the frequency with which it occurs that a laborer must, in order to live himself or support his family, anticipate hin wages by providing necessary supplies upon their credit, it cannot possibly be to the advantage of such a laborer to cut him off from any sonrce of supply for his needs that mar be open to him.

If he has personal credit independent of the pledge of hie wages, he should have the right and liberty of dealing wherever and with whomsoever hie personal credit entitles him to deal, whether with his employer or anybody else. All markets and competitors for his trade should be open to him. WHY SHUT OFF ANY ONE OF THEM, and attempt thus to restrict his right of selection? If he has not personal credit, and can only supply his needs by pledging his wages, does not the same reason apply for allowing him the right of selection among all? Under the free principles of the common law, as it exists in this State, if he has no other security to offer for his needed supplies, he may pledee his wages or earninta to whomsoever will trust such security for advance thus to be made. To cut him of from any market or source of supply on thecredtt of this security is to restrict, him in his choice, and diminish his cfaanees for a cheap supply. If his employer will trust to the security he offers aud supply him as cheaply as others, why not leave to the laborer the choice "of dealing with him? If tne employer will trust his security and supply him more cheaply than others, why deprive the laborer of this benefit There may be such a condition of the laborer that no one but his employer will trust him for his supplies on the credit of his wages.

It must occur to every one that the employer, having the seennty of nis wases in hand, knowing better than anybody else his right to the wages and the amount of them, is in a position to deal more safely, and therefore more cheaply, with the employe than other dealers, who must' deal upon uncertainties as to the security, and who, if the laborer is without other or personal credit, will NECESSARILY CHARGE MOBB for the additional risk. If, in consequence of these risks as to the security, other dealers will not trust supplies to the employe or cannot supply him so cheaply as his employer, ought he not to have the liDerty of dealing with his employer? And if nobody but his employer will trust him, under such circumstances common humanity would protest against any law which would deprive tbe laborer of this only resource to which he is left It is undoubtedly the fact that thousands of laborers are now employed in this State to whom needful supplies are from time to time afforded by their employers, solely upon the credit of their wastes when nobody else would furnish such supplies upon the same credit, and a necessary result of the etnet enforcement of this act would-be to deprive a very large number of employes of the means of subsistence and employment. That there may be instances in which EMPLOYEES ABUSE THE POWEB thus arising out or the dependent condition of this class of employee, by overcharges for supplies thns afforded, is true, and I would gladly aoprove of any act which would afford more effectual remedies for such abuses, or maKe unlawful any action of employers or their agent to prevent employes from buying tjoods or supplies to the best advantage The remedy, however, should not be worse than the disease. We ought not, under the guise of a remedy for such evils, inflict yet greater evils noon those proposed to be benelited. It must be apparent that this bill, if permitted to become a law will deprive many needy laborers of employment, and that thousands already employed will be driven to ham and oppressive expedients to obtain needed supplies, which, but for such a law could be conveniently and safeiy afforded then! upon the credit of their wages.

If the laborer is debarred from credit with his employer, he will be forced to seek that credit elsewhere "at greater disadvantages, and under no circumstance saonld a laborer be deprived of his right to dispose of his labor or his wages as he may deem best for his own interest. Why farm and domestic employes are to be exempted from the operation of this act would he difficult to explain. They greatly out number all other classes of laborers in the State and, if the bill were devised in the interest aione of the laboring class, it cannot be said that this large element of that class is more independent and capable of self-protection than other laborers. THIS EXCEPTION of a majority of the laborers in the State from 'an act to protect laborers expose the bill to constitutional objections, which I think tnav be well taken, but which I do not think it ff' ROYAL POWDER from 150 to s00 feet thick vp.rv crest Of this hill tfli Justice Bray ton yesterday discharged B.

265 Clark street, has seen some pretty hard fights. Last evening the tables were turned, and the bar-tender of the place, Michael Monohan, who has a reputation for being able to do some pretty good fighting, was himself badly beaten by a young man from Bridgeport, whose name was not ascertained.

Dr. Jones, who attended Monohan, stitched up a couple of bad wounds over the temples, but did not consider them serious. At noon yesterday Frank Brownson, while under the influence of liquor, was enticed by three young men from a Clark street saloon to Lincoln Park, and while looking at the animals in the park they knocked him down with a siung-shot and robbed him of $20 cash.

Brownson was badly but not dangerously hurt. He arrived in the city only a few days ago from New Orleans, in order to secure a situation on the Goodrich steamers.

Some of these reckless drivers ought to be heavily fined, in order to warn others to be more careful. A good one to begin with is Peter Kremble, a driver of one of Sugg Beirsdorfs furniture-wagons, who yesterday afternoon did his best to injure both life' and property at the corner of Canal and Madison streets. The bridge had been open, and there were wagons, street-cars, and light buggies inline, and he in his passion wanted to drive his rig over and ahead of all the rest. And then when Policeman John Riordan remonstrated ho became noisy and defiant.

THE STABBED THIEF. HI3 CONDITION DANGEROUS. Hennessy, the young man who was stabbed at the corner of Robey and Illinois streets Wednesday night by Keenan, is still lving at the saloon No. 831 WTest Indiana street, where he was carried after receiving his injuries, instead of the County Hospital, where it was erroneously reported that he had been taken. A reporter went to the place last evening, but the proprietor said the order of the physicians was that he should not be seen, as any excitement would be apt to result disastrously.

He said there were three doctors attending him, but he could not tell the names of any of them. Hennessy was lying in a back room, and he was reported as being very low aud his recovery doubtful. He could speak with great difficulty. He has one wound in the left breast, one lower down, in the upper region of his bowels, a slight cut below this, and three or four gashes in his left leg. He was not cut in the head, as was at first supposed.

The wounds were probably inflicted with a pocket-knile, and the one in the region of his bowels is considered the most dangerous. Several rough-looking men were sitting in tne saloon, and one volunteered the assertion that HenDessy was "just as fine a gentleman as there was in the he had lived in the Thirteenth Ward six or seven years, had lots of friends, and had never been arrested but three or four times, and then all they could find against him was vagrancy, and one of these times he was working. AH present appeared to assent to the excellent character given by the speaker to the wounded man. Thev said he had no relatives in this city that anybody knew of. Keenan nobody seemed to know, but they believed that his parents lived over back there somewhere," though exactly where they either did not know or would not tell.

One young man said Keenan was just out of the Penitentiary; but, being called upon to repeat bis remark by the reporter, the youth evidently repented his indiscretion, and qualified his assertion by saying that he bad heard somebody say so. Keenan had not been arrested at that time. The men said the police were down on Hennessy "for nothing at all," and they gave him a hard nam. SUBURBAN. EVANSTON.

The village trustees held an adjourned meeting yesterday afternoon. The Directors of the Public Library showed expenditures duriug the year of receipts, $1,153,35, leaving a balance of $23.10. Charles F. Grey was elected Treasurer, he kindly volunteering to act in that capacity for no compensation. The appropriation formerly made of $300 for Treasurer was thereupon rescinded.

Annual appropriations were made as follows: Public buildings, $5S5; village officers, public department, Fire Department, $500; street improvement, lighting streets, $1,009: legal contingent expenses, $700; general contingent expenses, maintenance of Water-Works, interest on water loan sinking bonds, interest on sewerage bonds, miscellaneous improvements, including judgment of Miss Gunn for damages of $7,883.55, and improvements, improvements on park and lake shore, total, less Water-Works receipts, total, $30,784.55.

HYDE PARK. An informal meeting of the Board of Trustees was held at the Viliage-flail last evening; all present except Mr. Beck. Mr. Bennett, on taking the chair, stated that the meeting was informal and was to consider the subject of fines, and perhaps afterwards to consider the bill.

The Captains of the various fire companies stated what they needed. It was also stated that Hvde Park needed a separate fire-wire, and it would be advisable to take tlie boxes off State street and put them on Wabash avenue. There was too much talking over the lines, for which Lake was partialy to blame. The lines, as far as lire was concerned, were worthless in wet weather. Mr.

Plum, of the Westeru Union, said that he had examined the line, and found it apparently worthless. It ran through trees, which made it imperfect. The estimate on a telephone line to South Chicago would be $360'. The village would require four would cost $25 each. The instruments in use at present could be sold.

As a total cost ot building a wire to South Chicago, of repairing the present line, and for rjutting telephones at the Village-Hall at South Chicago and the WTater-Works, Mr. Plum put hia figures at $600. Mr. Bennett suggested that it was possible tlie Board might want to modify the ordinance so that they might appoint the Fire Marshal and require bonds from bim, and it was aho possible that they would give him a salary. Col.

Foster, the Superintendent of the joint water-works, stated that the town of Lake wires were in first-class coudition, aud there had been no injury inflicted to the Hyde Park wires by the Town of Lake authorities. They had a telephone line which was very valuable "to the town. Mr. Bennett then stated that if all communications were in the Board would go into private session, and outsiders other than officers of the village would leave. For two hours they discussed the matter, which thev will report on tonight at the regular meeting of the Board.

MORGAN PARE. The annual Commencement-exercises of the Chicago Female College at Morgan Park took place at the College hall last evening in the presence of a large audience from the city and the suburbs.

The contractors were ready to go on with the work in the east court-rooms, but certain changes in the plan have necessitated a temporary stoppage while the contractors go to Washington to get the details of tue changes. Collector Smith received a circular from Washington yesterday directing Collectors of Customs, keepers of lighthouses, and other officers of the Treasury Department to render all the aid in their power, without interfering with their regular duties, to the assistants of the Commissioner of Fish and fisheries, in their inquiries as to the number and character of the vessels engaged in tie fisheries, their field of their operations, and the extent of their fishermen's luck," etc Michael Cassius McDonald, of the "Store," and the Democratic warty of the First Ward, is in trouble.

The allegation which is brought against him, and it came to a head yesterday before Commissioner flovne, is that for some time past his ways have been dark in the matter of his relations with certain distillers of this city, in short, that his scheme was to defraud the common uncle out of a portion of his revenues. The Government, to protect itself and keep in check the wholesale liquor-dealer, has provided what is known as "Form 52," in which the dealer is required to enter up all goods of a spirituous character which he sells. Michael is now charged with having, in the early part, of last February, received about forty-six casks of the fiery which he failed to make a note of in the aforesaid prescribed form, and with having sold nineteen casks which he also failed to enter on the blank provided for the purpose. The testimony on which the Government is prepared to substantiate its charges will be laid before Commissioner Hoyne this morning at 10 o'clock, to which hour the case was continued. A patriot by the name of Simons went Michael's bail in tlie sum of $1,000, and this morning the headlight of Democracy in the First Ward will have a chance to show how much there is in bis claim that it was ail the fault of a clerk whom he had often "punched up" on the same thing before.
