AITterieS but Muddy Special Bargain I IN Astonishing liCork ker Barried to a Spirit Bride. York Star. A prominent broker in Wall street, whose name is withheld at his own request, upon ex-Surrogate Daily's plea of an Injury to his business, has been married to a spirit bride by a spirit clergyman. This statement scouts astounding enough; but the facts are perfectly well authenticated. Three years ago a young girl who had been living with the broker, and had borne him four children, but to whom be as not married, suddenly died, beseeching turn upon her death-bed to legitimatize their children.

A. Bishop who are acknowledged as the leading hat and fur house in the West.

Seeing a notice of removal in the windows of this firm, at the well-known corner of State and Monroe streets, a TRIBUNE representative called On Mr. Bishop to make seine inquiries about the condition of the business the new location, etc. Mr. Bishop, it may be remarked, is one of the veterans in the fur business. Me is a thorough, practical workman, having served a regular apprenticeship, and for the past forty-live years has been actively engaged in the trade.

Re started la business here when Chicago was only an insignificant village. Whea about twenty-five years ago Mr. Bishop opened on Lake street with a stock of hats and furs valued at some it was considered a rash venture, and a failure was prophesied on the ground that the stock was too large and expensive. It is needless to add that the failure never came. Even the panics, tires, and financial disasters that swept away thousands of firms since tnat time had no effect on his standing.

lie was one of the first to resume business after the great tire of 1S71, and has occupied the corner above mentioned ever since the building was comoleted in 1673. In answer to the inquiries, Mr. Bishop said that on some accounts he rather regretted leaving the old corner, but that it was ha-possible for him to secure the accommodations in the way of room necessary for his business. lie had, therefore, purchased the building at 156 State street, now occupied by Root Sons' music house, four doors north of his present location, and on the 1st of May would occupy the entire building. The place will be thoroughly refitted in handsome style, and the tirm will then have a permanent location free from the troubles and annoyances of writing or removing.

The first door will, of course, be the salesrooms. The front half will be filled with a splendid stock of HATS AND dIPS Worth The Soulful Dade and the Symphonette Frieze. Chicagoans last night bad their second and final opportunity of hearing Oscar Wilde, the long-haired leader of the esthetes, on the lect- ure platform. The number who took advantage of this opportunity was not particularly large. The lower part of Central Music-Hall, in which place the lecture wai delivered, was perhaps three-fourths filled.

The second balcony Mad about two dozen people, while the gallery was probably one-third filled. The very disagreeable weather was doubtless responsible for the absence of not a few people. As a whole, bowevcrt the audience was a cultured one. If It was an appreciative audience, it gave evidence of the fact onty by the extreme stillness with which It listened to what Mr. Wilde bail to say.

He was not applauded during the whole course of his lecture, and it was only once or twice that his efforts to get up a laugh met with anything approaching success. Mr. Wilde, who talked about an hour and a half, appeared on the platform unattended and began speaking almost before getting fairly in front of bia audience. He was attired in a suit ot dark velvet, wearing knee-breeches. of course, black silk stockingi, a white lace tie, and white kid glovesa symphony in black and white.

During the course of bls remark4 he used the adjectives joyous, beautiful, noble, and the like with almost monotonous frequency'. The subject of the lecture was Interior aud Exterior House Decoration." Mr. Wilde said that people who ignoreel art Ina the beautiful in life were doing harm to themse1ve4 and their children.

Carroll was once a member of the old county rieg, and is now known to fame In Galesburg as one of "Jimmy Carroll's bondsmen. The others are utterly unknown.

The only Republican candidate mentioned is M.

Samuel Simous, a manufacturer of printing-office furniture, is making an active campaign, and Is backed by many of the young teen. Jobe Bennett, one of the partners in a large iron-house, is the favorit of the west end of the ward and the heavier taxpayers.

Aid. Hurlbut is not a candidate for realection, but his old Twelfth is not nevertheless bare of aspirants. There are John Marder, the type founder, Henry Baker, R. P. Williams, and John Sutter.

H. H. Rice's name has been frequently mentioned, but be has unifornay declined. D. L.

Hough has also been suggested very favorablyhe also does not hanker after the position. The West End Improvement Club, which wants more sewerage and lots of othet things, talks of running James L.

There is considerable Opposition to the reelection of Aid. Brady. The other candidates are IL G. Gill, D. B.

There are two Republican candidatesCharles Gellmeister, a cabinetmaker, and Louis Prettier, a grocer. Henry Hoff, an ex-Socialist, is threatened as an independent. A lively tight is aieo in progress in the Fifteenth Ward.

The anti-Raz laction is bitterly opposed to the realection of Aid. Young, and many of them threaten to abstain from the primaries, so as to vote against him on election. day. The other Republivan candidate is Jacob T. Breebbill, a painter.

A few of the strikers are anxious to run Tom stout but there is no hope of his securing a nomination. Many of the Democrats are in favor of running F. B. Chase, but the chances are that if Aid. Young gets a renomination Dan Long will be placed in the field as an Independent Democrat.

Aid. Imhof', of the Sixteenth, and Aid. Murphy, of the Seventeenth, are both candidates for realectionthe former not actively so. The Sixteenth Ward is the hot-bed of Socialism, and to beat their nomination wilt require the unk.ed ellorta of tne Republicans and Democrats. In the Eighteenth Ward Aid.

Burley might accept a renomination if tendered to him. Some of the young men have proposed Hempstead Wastiburne, but as far as can be learned he has no particular aspirations. E. F. Cragin declines to adow his name to be used.

No Democratic candidate has yet been mentioned, though some of that faith are not averse to the candidacy of John E. Geobegan, who made the racetwo years ago and was defeated. C. L. Woodman, who several years ago was a member of the Council, Is also mentioned as a candidate, and ids friends are somewhat sanguine of his success.

He says that be has no doubt whatever as to the identity of the spirit; that lie could not possibly have been deluded by any medium, and his snbsequent conduct certainly proves the sincerity or his belief.

During their conversations he expressed his regret that he had not matte her his wife, and she assured him that it was not yet too late, and that she was ready to become his spii it bride. The choice of a clergyman occasioned some discussion, which was ended most remarkably by the bride's assertion that she bad wet in the spirit world the pastor of her girlhood Lb Rev. Mr. Weather-well: that he had urged her to have the ceremony of inarriege performed, and that he was perfectly willing to olliciate.

Except in a few wards whieh there is a decided scramble for the vacant Aldermanships. there is a dearth of candidate s.

and the indications are that between now and election day there will be less political music than was ever known in this city. Both political parties are vigorously preparing for the campaign of next tall, 'when there are to be elected county. State, and Congressional Representatives. These are the prizes that are to be fouget for, and. as there is to be redistricting of the county during the next two months, there is a strong indisposition on the part of the prominent politicians of both parties to take any active participation in the scramble for the few minnows and small rolls available at the April election.

Both sides fear that an interenee now might react witia the force and certainty of a boom. erang next November, and hence exists the desire to let the present contest be a free-for-all go-as-you-please campaign, in which the JudiVidual candidates can make the race on their own merits and on their own pocketbooks. Those Republicans who favor Rauchett for Sherid do not propose to make any movement now that in October might result disastrously to his interests, and the other fellows who favor Mann's renomination feel exactly the same way. The Democratic politicians are pursuing the same policy. They do not propose to interfere in any ways manner, or shape.

Both parties will order the primaries to be held in the usual manner. The dear people will for once no allowed to exercise their preferences. if they wilt, but the chances are that the preference will be in many instances exercised by a small mob of strikers. and the longest pole will take the peralminetta. Tun' CANDIDATES FOR TOWN OFFICES are very few.

There is a general indispoeition on the part of the aspirants to announce themselves publicly. The majority of those who have entertained hopes have been unable to make any combinations for the reasons given above, and. fearful that they might be very summarily sat upon, have refrained from breathing their hopes in public. Many of the offices seem to go a-begging; the oldest and shrewdest politicians in the three divisions of the city are unable to give any roster of candidates for the offices to be There was never a time in the history of the city when there existed a greater necessity for electing that-class Aldermenmen of good butii-, ness ability and undoubted integritythan now. But this fact the taxpayers do not seem to realize.

Most of the ward-club meetings are saltily attended, and those who have secured control of them are either applicants for positions at the public crib or lusignilicant blatherskites and loafers who are for sale to the blirbeSt bidder. The city is in need of more police, additional sewerage, and improved sanitary conditions. The bonded indebtedness and the law place inexorable bounds on the revenue to be derived from the taxation of personat and real property. To raise sufficient means to meet all the wauts of the city, recourse must be bad to a thoroughly REVISED OF LICENSES. The whisky interest.

which is directiy responsible for a very large proportion of the city's expenditure, has so far successfully evaded paying its proper and legitimate tribute. Many of the present Aldermen are saloonkeepers by profession, and through the combination they have been able to make have successfully combated all attempts to increase the saloon licenses. They care not who pays the fiddler. as long as they don't have to. and in their zeal net to i have gravely preposed to levy almost piobibitory taxes on occupations and businesses which are absolutely necessary to the commercial growth and supremacy of the city.

It is understood that the City Republican Committee has informally agreed to meet ou Tuesday. the-lith. and carry out the practicaily agreed-upon program of holding tan Ablermanie primaries on the L'Uth. No Republican candidates have atmouneed themselves for any of the town officee. though on the South Side considerable pressure has been brought upon Assessor Drake to accept a nomination.

They were not practical in mattefs of handicraft- When the lecturer entered a room in Amereet he saw a.carpet of vulgar pat' tern; be saw, perhaps. a cracked plate on a wall with a peucock's feather stuck behind it; he at down on a badly-glued, antch.ue-made chair that creaked upon being touched: he eaw a gaudy gilt horror in the shape of a mirror, tom a cast-iron monstrosity tor a cliammiter.

Good Works were uot second class. because they kept Inerastuit in value. The old Gothic cathedral was firmer and more beautiful now Lima it was yeais ago. One thing worse than no art was bad art One cculd stand it in an 'nimble cottage, with its plain tile floor, a few books.and a table. but what was unbeitrahle was the vast amount ot bad art to be found on every band.

Even the poorSwiss shepherd boy spent his leisure time doing beautiful carving instead of reading some detestable novel. The Americana might carve as well, and the lecturer was sadly disappointed that they did not develop this art more. Some 'rood rules to follow in regard to interior decorations were: Don't paper your halls, but bate them wainscotted or provided with datios; dont bang them with pictures. as they are only passageways; have in your rooms some detinit idea of colorsome dominant keynote of color or exquisit gradation, like the answering calls in symphony of music.

He also spoke Cr some of Mr Whist ier's symphonies in color," and described a number of his pictures. One of this great artist's symphonies in white represented a gray and white sky, a gray sea flecked With the crests or dancing waves; a white balcony with two little children in white leaning over the railing, plucking with white hands the white petals tit an almond-tree in bloom. Coming back to house decoration, the walls of a room should be 'divided unevenly into two parts, there being either a dado or frieze. The dado should be in wood instead of paper, and the frieze should be painted.

Ills personal acquaintance with all the leading manufacturing houses, and the fact that he buys for cash? enables him to oiler the finest quality of goods at moderate prices, and it is in this way that he has built up such an extensive trade. In this department will also be found the fur hats, caps and gloves tor gentlemen and ladies, and also the sleigh and carriage-robes, driving gloves, and all the Miter details that go to make up a complete stock in the lines mentioned.

The back part of the store, which is well lighted from the rear windows, will be devoted exclusively to the finer varieties of fur gartuents, and will be elegantly fitted up as TUE LADLES' Flat DEPARTMENT. Here will be exhibited those faultless sealskin sacques, dolmans, circulars, and ulsters in the making and fitting of which this house Is without a rival. Here, also, Will be showu the silk and fur-lined garments, and the superb stock of mink, otter, sable. ermine, and beaver goods, and all the endless varieties and choice novelties in trimming furs. It is ill this department of fine fur and silk garments that the firm has achieved its greatest success.

In anticipation of the largely-illcreased demand for the coming season, the agents of the firm are already making purchases of the choicest stock in the great London and Leipsic fur-markets. They have also contracted for an unusual quantity of the first choice London-dyed sealskins, colored by a new process. that gives the highest degree of lustre and brilliancy without injuring the texture of the skins. It is perhaps not generally known that very few really first-class sealskins are brought to this country, the interior grades being always cousidered good enough for the American market. and it is from this inferior stock that the cheap goods are sup' plied to the wholesale trade.

The second floor will be occupied by the work room or NIANUFACTURING DEPARTMENT, and also for the storage of the stock of fine furs. Ladies can here select the material for their garments the same as they select their dress goods. Only the most experienced and thoroughly competent workmen are employed in this department. The firm will also, in future, manufacture all their own fur sets in the ordinary styles for ladies' and children's wear, and they will be able to furnish the best auality of material and workmanship at manufacturers' prices. The upper floors will be occupied with the surplus stock of raw and dressed furs, and a special department will be fitted up for the STORAGE OF PUB GOODS during the summer months.

A storage room with the most approved appliances for preserving the furs from all danger of injury from moths or dampness will enable the firm to furnish perfect security to owners of valuable furs at a trifling cost, and also to insure against lire at the lowest rates. The importance of this feature will be appreciated when it is stated that last year the firm had in storage furs valued at not less than two hundred thousand dollars. Taken altogether, the removal is a substantial evidence of success, and Messrs. A. Bishop Co.

are to be congratulated on their enviable record in the past as well as on the bright prospects for the future. 114 and 116 State-st, Ilanufacturing AND Dock Property. a I. a 't a I. FOR SALE, CASII.

The Fifteenth Ward Republican Club postponed their meeting at the corner of Larrabee and Centre streets last evening to next Friday. The Republicans in the ward appear to be undecided about a candidate for Aiderman.

Several goed men have been mentioned, but thus far no one has been found who is willing to run for the dice. Aid. Young is understood to be a candidate for reelection, but the feelme against him is said to be so bitter that the Democrats are almost sure to elect their candidate unless the Republicans put up a man whom all will rally around and support. There was to have been a meeting of the Eighteenth Ward Democratic Club at McCormick Hall last evening, and a number of the members hung around the entrance for some time, but, as the ball had been engaged for a masquerade, an adjournment was ellected, subject to call.

Dan Sullivan, and Christopher Junk. Cniodek, the representative of the Bohemian element in the Sixth and Seventh Wards, would take the Assessorship, and Dick Baker wants the Supervisorship. There is some talk of running Pleasant Amick for Assessor on the Republican ticket, but it is understood he is not anxious to run, as he considers that the salary allowed him last spring by the Town Board is not a sufficient recompense for the labor and responsibility.

Chris Tegtmeyer, of the Sixth Ward, is mentioned as a candidate for Clerk. On the North Side there is the same alarming scarcity ot candidates. On the Republican side are mentioned henry Sundermacker for Collector and William Bottermau for Assessor.

St. James Gazette (London). In Prance the wolves seem to increase much quicker than the population. In ancient Limousin sad thereabouts they are not contented with sheep and dogs, but six times within the last two years have attacked human beings, and a score of people have died mad from their bites. In the small Iciest newspapers it is quite common to see accounts of dogs killed in defense of the sheep.

These occurrences rarely gain attention from the Paris papers, and the country foik cry out loudly against the Chamber for not making the "Lieutenants de Louveterie" do their duty. These dicers are accused of showing more discretion than vigor in destroying the wolves; for, if wolves became extinct, weir own occupation would be gone. The position is much coveted and it is a pleasant one, both for the bolder and his triends, as regards bunting, shooting, and social intercourse in the Lieutenant's district. The rewards for killing a wolf are now very small. ranging from 5 shillings to 15 shillings.

The departments most infested demand aa increase to and J'Xi, so as to make it worth the while of wood shots and expert poachers to devote themselves to wolf-destruction. E1is6e Reclus has computed that there are 3" or wolves still in France from which it appears that at a cost of they might be extirpated. JOIIN A. YALE, 153 La Salle-st.

Reaching the matter of turniture, the lecturer advised Unit tne early English or Gothic style was too heavy.

There was no need of sending to England for the furniture. In the first pee Mete should be established in all the great American cities museums where artisans and might study the styles and patterns of the noble designers and artisans who had worked before them.

In this way the education and the articles might be developed. From such a museum workmen could learn more in a year or two than In a titetime at books. Regarding the portable decorations, the lecturer said that poor pictures land the Americaus geuerally bad that kind) were worse than none. The walls should be decorated with china plates arranged with an Idea of taste, and their beauty should be enIntaced at night by the Ligbt of CANDLES INSTEAD OF GAS. There should also be plenty of embroidery aoout tbe room, but not enough to make it appear always like washing-day.

The piano should be stained in what was the dominant keynote of the color in the room. Of course, there were always to be flowers in the room, and they should not be Vaguely arranged or crowded to-realer. As to the table, all modern silverware was of Igar design. China was better. China should be used, too, and not kept hidden away in a closet.

If a family could not use it without breaking it they did not deserve to have it. Tbere be flowers on the table too. Reaching the question of dress, Mr. Wilde said It should not mur the loveliness of the room. The ladies might stutly the costumes of the old Venetian ladies and pattern after it.

Samson. New Yore March 6. Not a large congregation was attracted to the People's Chinch, in West Fifty-third street, last eveuing by the announcement that a Chinese convert was to be baptized there. Among those who Were there. however, were about a score of the convert's fellow-countrymen, who were seated in the front pews in the body of the church.

All were dressed in the national costume, and nearly all carried in their bands silk umbrellas with handsome tvory bandies. One wore over his dark Cloth blouse a brown overcoat of stylish cut and handsome appearance. Ah Chee, the Convert, sat alone in the front pew, cousulcuous among his fellows not only by reason of his baptismal robe. but also because of his broad, intellectual forehead and unusually thoughtful expression. His hair was arranged as the others' was, in true Chinese fashion, the cue being coiled around the back of his head, like a woman's braids.

It goes without saying that all were grave and as solemn as only the Chinese can be during the Continuance of the services. The missionary hymn, "The morning light IS breaking," was first sung, and then Mr. Caprielian, an Arminiaa clergyman, offered prayer in faultless English. with a strong and peculiar foreign accent. During the singing of the second nymn a large Chinese snap ef the world painted on silk and bung upon a banner-stand was brought trom an ainte-roota and placed on a large armchair on the pulpit platform.

Then the convert was led from the front pew to the plattorm, wbere the audience had an opportunity to see him plainly. It then became upparent that his feet were bare, and that they were surprisingly white, considering- the durkness of his face, cua ng Cum Sing, the sexton of the church, who Is another Chinaman, sat beside bite Cu the platform, with the Rev. Mr. Rose, from Bunnell. who was introduced by Dr.

This tweed black PELLETIER PAVEMENT. With a view to purettase from the Pelletier Pavement Company, of Chicago, the patent-right for the manufacture of Its block in the State of Indiana, we understand a company is now being formed by some prominent citizens at Indianapolis. They contemplate shipping specimens of material found in or near that place to Chicago, out of which Mr. Pelletier, at their request, will manufacture sample blocks.

That which seems to have made the Pelletier block so attractive to the public, and to give it the preferenee over all others, is the existence almost everywhere of the cheap materials out of which it can be made; for the block is simply made out of hard stone or gravel, or clear, coarse sand, the former crushed to the size of a pea or grain of corn. and the latter taken as it is, with 2 to 4 per cent of asphalt for a temporary binder, and a small quantity of chloride and oxide of iron added, which chemically combine to solidify with a granite hardness the whole mass when heated and compressed under hydraulic pressure of about WO tons. These are the cheap materials found in every country, and this the simple process Wiliell compose and make the Pelletier block a block of uniformly even surface, and, therefore. making a pavement far more compact and tar less noisy than that of jagged granitea block of. bard, crushed stone chemically consolidated with particles of Iron intermixed, and, therefore, necessarily wearing rough.

Such is the excellence of the Pelletier blockdestined, as we believe, on account of its cheapness. durability, want of slipperiness, and evenness of surface to supersede the granite and all other materials for street pavements.
