The Mayor, as is well known, in directing the DrenaratioD of ordinances for paving certain streets, declined to recommend ordinances for streets on which street-ear tracks are laid, unless the companies would contribute their pro rata of the expense. The North Bid Street Bail-way Company join laaue with the Mayor on this point, ana will contest the question in the courts. They deny the position assumed by the Mayor, and insist that they are not bound to keep their portion of the streets on which theiraine is operated in any better condition than the city. Whatever the result may be. the West Division Company consent to be bound by the decision.

aad. furaued by Big Brther with a Club. Got Married Aa Affecting laeldeat. He was a jauhty-lookiag young fellow. In a snuff-colored coat stoga boots, and with a telephone hat on one ear.

and at o'clock yesterday afternoon he made a hurried entrance into the County Clerk's office. When the door swung behind the newcomer. It was kicked violently open again, and a businesslike party, also young, attired in a tarred coat; and a big elub. made another rapid entrance. The twain were aoquaioted.

and 'sought the pigeonhole, through which a courteous young gent with a Napoleonio muatache, shoves out permits to wed at 1.50 a Piece. They wasted a marriage license that is. one of them did. At least he got one. though it didn't aopear to tbe casual observer that he hankered much after iu But the young man in tbe flan-globe head-pieoe went through all the formalities, even to telling how old he was and how old he believed "she" was.

and all the utner little etceteras necessary on the occasion. He said he was from Milwaukee, but from sundry outward and vl-lble signs it was thought be belonged to St. Louis. He was very funny in his small way. and caused the affable gent on the inside ot the pigeon-hole so much trouble in wanting to be sworn with his hat on.

that he had to be sat down on. Several times it looked as if the negotiations for the marital scrip would fail through, but a glance at the young man of the second part in the furred coat and big club, who stood around an bossed things, had the effect of reconstructing him. Half an hour alter the drst hurried entry into the County Clerk's office, a quiet party of three entered Juatice Moech's Court, and there, before his Honor and clerk Sam (who was affected to tears at the sight of the man with the club) Mr. Charles J. Cotton, aged 21.

and Miss Ella Qulnn. aged 19. and as pretty as a picture, stood up and were made one, ao to ernak. And then young and buaineae-hke male of-the aecond part folded hia club and silently stole awav. The nigh contracting parties were both of Milwaukee; good tamiliea; early love; parental opposition: runaway match; stern brother (with club); married: red fire; curtain.

TROUBLE AT THE INSANE ASYLUM. Dr. Spray, tbe Sew braid an. Threatens to Hake Mo me Unpleasant Developments x-Dr. Cua-atlngnaua ia aa Unenviable stele.

Dr. Spray, the newly appointed physician at the County House, is making quite a rattling among the dry bones in that establishment The facts in the case seem about as follows: A Cathollo priest has been in the habit of holding confessions and religious services in the reception parlors. This the new doctor objects to. bat at the same time declares that he has no objection to religious services being held in the room set aside for such purposes. Bat Dr.

Lawless, the first assistant asserted his authority, and declared that tbe priest should not have tbe parlor for confessional or any other purposes. Mow, in this Lawless made his mistake. Under the administration of Dr. Cunningham. Lawless had control of the institution because he knew the secret that Cunningham was not a graduate ot Betlevue.

aa he represented himself to be, and that this secret had Lawless divulged it would have cost Cunningham his position. Dr. Spray has no such fear, and consequently. Lawless will find it an up-hill uuBinnm irrtu cunrov iu now puiioian. Next Monday it is not improbable that Dr.

Spray will present a communication to the board eon-tainfng some facts in regard to the way the Insane Asylum has been conducted, from a medical standpoint He will not complain so much of Peter's conduct as the management of Lawless, Higgenbaugn. tbe Doctor thinks, is the only really able and efficient man in the institution. It is due to bis labors that the asylum has been recognized by Elgin. No other man has kept a record of a ease, or done anything toward making the Cook Coucty Insane Ayium rank where institutions of its size and importance should. Tbe Doctor will ask the board to reconsider their action of last week In accepting the services of a man who he claims is in no war adapted for the position.

The difficulty which seems to have sprung np will certainly have a tendency to ooen the eves of the public in regard to the medical mismanagement of this institution. J. 0. EASTER CO. Mootlnr of the Credltore of ae Bans-raps Firm Yesterday Morning.

The creditors of the firm ot J. D. Easter At which recently suspended, held a meeting yesterday at the warehouse, 14 south Canal street All of the principal creditors were present, Mr. B. Baker, of Racine, presided.

The committee, consisting ot Messrs. Otis and Orchard, of this city: T. Thomas, of Baraboo. B. Baker, of Racine, and R.

Emerson, ot Roesford. who were appointed at a previous meeting to inquire inte the affairs of the house, made a very full report, embodying the results ot the investigations of the expel ts. The latter stated that they found the books in a moat satisfactory condition, and had no diffioultv in arriving at an understanding tbe situation. The committee reported that on account of certain legal complications, which remained to be settled, they were forced to propose three distinct baaea of settlement. As matters now stood, they thought tbe Mrm could settle at twenty-five cents on the dollar.

It certain collaterals now held by some of the creditors as security for Indebtedness of the firm, should be placed in the general pool, a settlement at forty cents would be possible. Instill another contingency, not altogether dissimilar from the above, the creditors might be able to realize forty-five per cent The report was very fully discussed, after which the creditors requested a conference with tbe members of the firm relative to the steps necessary to be taken. Tbe business was not concluded, and an adjournment waa takes until lO o'clock this morning. CHICAGO ELECTRICAL SOCIETY. The twentieth regular meeting of the Chioago Electrical Society was held last evening In the rooms of the Academy ot Sciences.

ARE YOU MARRIED? If So, Sea That the Marriage Is Properly Recorded in the County Books. The Delusion That Many People Live Under Scenes at the Marrlifle License Department From the day when poor old Tony Weller Was made the cruel vietlm ot tbe touter in the Inns of Court, and induced to take out a marriage license, to the present time, a certain sort ot Interest dusters rouud the preliminary steps to whix the poets term the fountain of perpetual bliss wedded love. In the classic ages the son of Apollo, crowned with flowers and holding a nuptial torch in his hand, is supposed' to have guided the couples "eternally -i to be knit" But the reporters who diurnally "do" the county buildings have never observed any classic-looking being underneath tne consecrated root of the marriage department of -the County Clerk's offloe. as the twenty or thirty eouulea dsil iwiu out their permit to be mar ried. It is a very commonplace allidr.

It seeius of little worth, aud is managed about as follows: lour name? "John Tooiokins." "Your lady's aamsf" "Susan Brown." --Yourager- I "Your lady's age?" "19." I "You. John Tompkins, do solemnly swear, etc." AUU UJU U. V. MUM fM. VUU other window the next gentleman.

And the agreeable clerk turns from Mr. Tompklua. leav-iug him haply to wive and thrive as beat he may, and is soon scratching away at the next license. But for all this, it is an Interesting study of humanity to see the motley crowd that eume ue to the window during the a ay. It would be impossible to classify Sometimea the prospective bridegroom will bring tne prospective bride.

Instauees of this kind are eoniinud to tne rural districts except in such eases where the lady is the oldest To such couples the following well-known distloh may appropriately be applied: "There swims no goose so gray bat soon or late She Unas some honest gander for a mate." The country bridegroom, when be brings his blusniug lady, is in a quandary to snow what to do with her. He grins, he goes to every window in the County Clerk's room but tbe right one. and is finally hustled up to the window of the marriage department Arriving there the clerk anticipates his wants and hands him a blank. Aiterbiottinglbreeorfour.be finally signs itis name, pays his dollar aud a half, and awkwardly finds his war out followed by -the blushing girl, A mistake some couples make In procuring licenses from the County Clerk is in imagining they are married. Tbe clerks say these permits to marry are sometimes believed to be marriage certificates, and happy pairs have been known to go off supposing they were married when in reality they were not married at ail.

In looking over the books it is observed that at least one-twentieth of the marriage licenses are not returned, and consequently there is nothing to prove that this proportion ot applicants for permits were ever married. The eierks in the marriage de-par una at are often bothered by persons who want to search tbe records to ascertain if runaway couples have been married. Mothers, fathers, and brothers come to Una! the names ot their daughters or aiatera. But marriage licenses can be aworn out by any persons interested beside tbe high contracting parties. The fathers come sometimes, and sometimes the lady's brothers.

But at times the ladies come alone. The other day a bnxom woman, tat. fair, and 40. planted herself in front of the marriage window aud took out a liceuse. Her future husband was goiug on toward do.

but she knew how to man-ajfe tnem. "she'd had one before." And ab. the poets say. poor man ia "drawn In courtship, hut in wedlock made." No doubt the marriage window at the County Clerk'e offlee is the prelude to muen domestic nappiness. as wen aa to much sorrow.

It is ail the same to the clerks. Nuptials ot form, of interest or of state are reg istered with as much alacrity and eomplacenoe as the marriage of the humblest Scandinavian cit'-een. They all eount tbe eame In the record book. In the total number of marriages the mendicant counts as much as the millionaire, and at least in this reoord and in tbe fluai record the riobes and grandeur of this world can buy them no special place.

Yesterday was the last day but one of the Sns chicken show in the north end of the Exposition Building, and this, together with-the beautiful weather, attracted the largest crowd so fag. dam. ing tbe exhibition.

The display is really excellent and to-aav. in the matter of attendance, will on doubtedly be the best as well as last ot the show. The management is a great Improvement upoa last year. There has been much less confusion in the moving of coops, and everything is unex ceptionably clean. The walks have been freshly sawdusted three times a day.

A One Derby gamecock was sold yesterday to a gentleman who will take it to England. It weighed seven pounds, and brought C100. 'Mr. J. D.

Oloott of Milwaukee, showed' a pair of red pile game fowls, each weighing eight pounds. They were beauties. A biaek-breaated game-cook, owned by George Zeigier, of Milwaukee, is one of the finest birds on exhibition. Sev eral gamecocks, and aiso otb-tr fowls and some fioe singing birds, will be sold by auction late this aiteruoon lor the benent or the association. In tne room where the steam hen operates it is a novel sight to eee a young eaoon aoting aa mother to a large brood of the newly hatched chickens.

Hefoudles the little peeping bails of down, and broods over them as tenderly aa if he had hatched them himself.

Vortaer FarUeadars Kexmrdlng the Tsrk sSeoalelsle and Saaetda. From Inquiries in the city the following particulars have been obtained regarding the- arin-clpals in the murder and suicide ia New York. telegraphed to Tab Ixtxb Ocsax yesterday morning: James Jacques was an Englishman, in Lincolnshire about nrtY-nve yers ago. its mar ried an English woman, and came to this country about thirty year ago. For over twenty years he lived at Jefferson, where he owned a large I arm.

just south of the Poor Hop ae property bow owned by Deacon Dunning. He was ooce ia nfriwxl eiranmatances. but was not a Well- educated person or ot very gentlemanly bearing. In 1868 be suffered some financial reverses, aud eame to Chioago witn about ao.uoo capital, and built a hotel near the corner of Halsted and Laice streeta. which ha ran until 1873.

wnen he sold the same to its present pro urietor. a Mr. Becker. JJ tiring Jacques liie in tne eity he did not bear a very good character; was frequently drunk, snd was always around the women." He was arrested once for rape. and.

though he escaped, his companion in the crime was sent to Joliet for a year. Jn 1872-Mr. and Mrs. Surman eame to the city. They had tour children: Jacqnes had nine.

He early showed a partiality for Mrs. barman. In 1873 be eold the hotel for S14.0OO, and sloped with Mrs Surman to New York. Here poverty overtook him. and Mr.

Surman showing no disposition to reclaim or receive back his irring wife, she deserted her pcramour. Jacques' troubles came uooa him suddenly and thickly, and probably, added to a weakened constitution, unseated his reioot. Tne companion ot hisfhtrht from tnis eitv iir. Bur- But-visited him oeoaaionAU la the novel la which he resided, and. maddened by her conduct is supposed be ended tneir lives as nas oeen related.

It Is a sad story throughout, and conveys with It a grave moral. SPORTING GOSSIP. TH JTISTH BIIiUARD MATCH.

The embjeetls Considered at the County Finance Committee Meeting Yesterday Statna af the Tne Finance Committee held a meeting yesterday morning to take into consideration the matter of ex-County Treasurer Huek's deficit The fact transpired that the former report of the committee, recommending that legal steps be taken against Mr. Hack's bondsmen to recover the money, had merely been laid over by the request of Hack for thirty days. Commissioner Fitxgetald said he was not in favor of any farther delay in the matter. Tbe Assistant County Treasurer was called before the committee, and the euestlon was put to him: "Has any money been turned over to the treasury department by Louis HuckT" "No. sir;" he replied.

After some further disensslon. the matter was referred to the County Attorney. Judge Wallace, witn Instructions to take such legal steps as he may deem best to recover the detloit he 232 extra pay-roil of Lieb's came up. but was laid away ia the box again. Nothing else ot importance was taken up.

and the finance muddle was studioaaly avoided. Since the meeting of the-committee an Iktks Ocsas reporter interviewed Mr. Huck. who said he had supposed tbe committee meeting was set tor 2 o'clock in the afternoon. He further informed the reporter that a telegram just received from the Comptroller of the Currency Informed him that the reoeiver ot the Third National Bank had been authorised to pay a dividend of 44 or 50 per cent This, he said, would immediately be turned over to the county, and.

if a few more days were allowed him. he would raise the balance and turn the Sloo.OOO over to the County Treasurer. Under any circumstances, it is not probable anything will be done in the matter until after tha board meets next Monday. TERPSICHOREAN ENJOYMENTS. TAIBTTJtW SOCIAIi CLUB.

A number of sensational reports have been cir culated recently to the effect that a large number of people on the West Side were on the point of death from starvation. Mr.

G. TrusdeU. Su perintenaent of the Chicago Belief and Aid So ciety, at onoe began an investigation, which has resulted in every ease in proving the reports to be without foundation. The visitors found that in every instance, the reported destitute were re- cininnta of onblie bounty, and usually given to In temperance and viee, which made their condition what it is. There were some ot the "too proud to beg ana too honest to steal" elass discovered, but on the 01 her hand, almost without exception, a worthless set who were willing to eke out an existence upon what the oounty officers would give them.

Such reports are calculated to deceive ebaruable persons, who may be led to suppose that the authorities are neglecting the poor, and the matter should be attended to by private benevolence. ABOLISHING THE MI6H SCHOOLS, It is reported about the City Hall that an ordl nance abolishing the high schools will be intro duced Into the Common Council next week. The suggestion does not meet with taror. and a doubt is expressed as to whether the Council have a legal right to interfere with the schools. The ordinance under which tbe high school was established, was passed by the Council upward of twenty years ago.

SubeequenOyesislauon, it is said, however, has delegated the control of the educational department ot Chioago to a School Board, which, save in tbe msrter ot appropriations, possesses exclusive jurisdiction. II tots la true, the Council certainly are incapacitated from legislating to abolish this branch devoted, to instruction. At ail events it is doubtful If an ordinance Is introduced tha: it will be adopted, as the benefits derived from a continuation of the nigh schools are too patent to be abandoned without pronounced opposition.
