The board substantially accomplished its object when it secured the passage of the resolution for the appointment of such a commission. It has no ax to grind in the composition of the body, but may perhaps expose itself to the suspicion of wishing to compass certain ends in addition to the original purpose if it makes too much effort to influence the Governor.

He Can be counted on to do the correct tiling. The final contracts for the construction of the Rialto are nearly all closed, and work on it, which was suspended some time ago, will soon be resumed. The foundations are now at a level with the street. It is proposed to have it ready for occupancy the 1st of next May. and to that end some pretty lively work will have to be done.

If it is not tound possible to complete all the stories part of them will be gotten ready tor tenants. The land fifty feet front and 100 feet deep on Pacific avenue. 225 feet south of Van Buren street. leased by Louis liVebster to P. J.

Sextou, has been valued tor the next live years at etUO a front foot. The projectors of the Illinois Bank Building on Dearborn street promised to put up a fireproof structure, and sundry persons going by and seeing a large number of wooden joists used in the work have asked, "NVily is this thus?" These joists are protected by tile fastened by iren straps, the joints of the tile being closed with mortar. It is thought that this makes ample provision against fire. and it is easy to see that the quantity of wood in the area inclosed in the tile and the iron beams is very small, dud that there is no chance tor a draft. The columns of tha building are all of iron (except some of those in the basement, which are of brick).

and these columns, too, will be surrounded with tile. The boors will be placed on a thick layer of concrete, which, of course. could not he penetrated by fire. It is evident that the new Chicago Opera-House was opened altogether too soon. It did not have a proper chance to get au unbiased verdict from the people.

The machinery of ventilation was not working, and everything else was at loose ends. A little later on, when the workmen have got quite through. it will no dottht make a better showing for itself. It is stated by the "insiders" that additions to the rent roll of the building are still being made, and that the earnings warrant the company to begin the payment of 8 per cent dividends at the opening of the coming year. There are, however, some expenses yet to pay.

and a considerable proportion of the stockholders are in favor of postponing dividends till they are out of the way.

He came to this city ia 1650, where he has since resided, pursuing his profession of civil engineer and draughtsman. Having amassed a comfortable competency, he devoted his leisure time to the study of catural history, of which he was passionately fond, especially that branch which treats of the nature and habits of birds and insects, and has published a series of interesting papers on the subject. He was toe discoverer of one or more kinds of moth, a description of the most notable of which was given in the antury Magazine, with accompanying illustrations, a lew years ago, which he named la honor of his friend, George W. Cable.

In June last his mind became unsettled and he was re. moved to the Lou Retreat for medical care. Ile never recovered, but was strieken with paralysis and died without a struggle. He was a brilliant descriptive writer, and his writings are the best authority in the LAouthoti natural history. James W.

Arcomb, a gentle-looking Creole who has been for many years a favorit salesman in a Canal street dry-goods house, for the last few days has become the wonder of the town, and the store where he works has been thronged with admiring females who come to get a glimpse of the modestsalesman. The occasion of alt this is the tact that Wednesday Mrs. Arcomb presented her husband with three boys, a total of nineteen pounds and two ounces of babyhood. The little fellows are fat and healthy, and so much alike that they cannot be told apart, all being in the same style and color of clothing. In order to distinguish them it was necessary to decorate each with a different colored ribbon-- red, white, and blue being chosen.

One of the babies weighed six pounds eight ounces, an. other six pounds six ounces, and the other six Pounds tour ouncesa difference of only four ounces between the heaviest and lightest. Mother and children are doing well, and from present appearances they ivill continue to do so. SAN EttANcisCO3 Aug. E.

C. 1larshal1, Attorney-General of California, whose official bond is only 10,000, has in the Nevada Bank. subject to his personal order, no less than of the people's money. He has tried in vain to turn this huge amount of coin into the State and County Treasuriee, where it belongs. Should he die, which is ma improtiable, Ins health being very poor, no one but his heirs would have a right to draw the money.

Indeed, as the Attorney-General himself say, he 'alight take the whole sum tomorrow and sail for foreign lands without cotnmitting a crime in the eyes of the law. This rernarkanie and perhaps unprecedented state of affairs is the direct result of the efforts of a few Democrats, headed by State Controller Dunn, to make political capital for themselves. The money was paid to the Attorney-General by the Central and Southern Pacific Railroads in accordance with the provisions of the compromise of the suits twought hy the State to recover taxes due by corporations. Controller Dunn, backed by Railroad-Commissioner Foote and a prominent Democratic lawyer named Delmas, refused to recognize the right of the Attorney-General to compmtnise the matter. though it wag distinctly specified that payments would in no way prejudice tho claims of the.

State and countijs ie actions to recover the balance still claimed to be due from the railroads. Attorney-General Marshall, on receiving the cueek. imagined it would be an easy thing to get riifoli the money by getting the railroads to make out a eneek in favor of each county, and sending these to the proper officials. This, however, the railroads declined to do. and would pay out but one cheek for the net amount.

Next the Attorney-General proffered the cheek to the Controller, but that official re-I used to have anything to do with the matte.

CALIEuRNIAS mu.rrtA ENCAMPMENT.

Though letended to be of practical benefit to the militiamen. the attair 'NUS turned into it have by the commanding Ulcers. who made their headquarters the centres of social arnueement. Among other similar incidents the court-martial of Col.

Forsythe may be mentioned. This gentleman was arrested on a frivolous pretext, solemnly tried before many lades, and sentenced by Turnbull to parade on the beach in a bathing-suit for two hours. The encampment has (mile much to bring the National Guard into disreptce.

To each family were to be given loft acres and Sloe. It is not positively known that Blythe Ind any heirs, aud his estate, valued at several millions, may yet revert to the State. Much excitement has been caused in the interior of the State by the reported discovery of an active volcano Pear Mammoth, 'Fresno County.

The following is the part of the speech delivered recently in the House of Commons by Mr. John Bright on the occasion of the question of privilege raised by Mr. Callan in relation to Mr. Bright's charges against Irish members made at the dinner to Earl Spencer: lf report be correct, a very important member of the Irish partyI mean Mr. Davitthas been asked to come to this House by one ot the coustituencies ready to return him.

Mr. Devitt, except when a landlord is in question, appears to me to be a particular7y honest man. I think that most persons who know him, however they may disagree with him, still have a certain respect tor him that they have not for others. Well, Mr. Devitt says he would not come into this House because he would not take the oath of allegiance to the Queen, and there areI will not name them, but I have heard of more than onehighly respectable and honest men who would be aduliralee members of this House.

but they cannot in conscience take the oath of nilegiance bequuse they are not loyal to the throne. That is one of the charges which I have brought against some honorable gentle-nee; and I think front the si av in which they have received my observations it is quite clear that it is a charge they do not repudiate. I said that these gentlemen had done what they could to obstruct legislation in 1881 and ISS2. Now. I do not come here to defend the legislation of Issl and I think filet, unfortunately, it WILS a great mistake.

though I was myself a member of the Government concerned it. But as regards the obstruction, it in be borne in mind that nit extraordinary majority of this House supported those measures and whether they were wise or foolish measures, at any rate they were believed by the House to be absolutely necessary, and tnerelore to be wise. Everybody wno was in this House at the time knows perfectly well bow much honorable members obstructed. I may remark that I ant not going to Mame them tor their obstruction. It is quite, possible tor me to conceive of Mrcunistauces in this House in which I myself might be tempted to do itthough I do not think I ecand have persisted in it so long as they didin order to prevent a bill from passing which I thought would be injurious to the count ry.

But that they did obstruct nobody can doubt. Anti I believe that the only time in which they allowed a particular clause to pests which the Government did not want was vvhen they NVent anti took their position in the gallery in order that the lovernment might be placed in a minority and that a clause might be put in the act Avhich the Government did not Ivisli for, but which those honorable gentiemen thought would make the bill snore hateful in their own cou tory. Well, I said that Lerd Spencer had been assailed and that they bad also assailed the Judges. In tho speech as read the word -Judgee" is left out. I said they assailed the Judges.

They assailed the law officers, and they assailed the juries. They have siva over aud over againI believe some honorable members base said it in Ireland; tue honorable gentienian has almost said it here tonight; but it has been frequently said in Ireland, ane it has been stated in the Irish pressthat Lord hanged innocent men knowing them to he innocent. Again they have assailed the Judges. and declared them to be partial and partisans. They have assailed the law officers of the crown and chareed them with racking the juries.

That is what they have done; but it has all been done on one linenamely: that of sympathy for prisouers who were in prison Or meter trial, and I have never heard any emphatic declaration in this' House or out of it, net. have I read, with scarcely any exception, declarations against the criminals except at the time when the i Pinenix Park- tragedy took plate, and when men even on these oho Irish) benches were astonished and were cowed by the feeling that then prevailed throuehout the whole country. And then they did express what I believe they really tele that great crimes had been committed and that great sorrow had been spread throughout all our peopleand throughout Irelaud. I hope, not less than throughout Englantl. Suppose, instead of saying what has been read at the tahlesuppoee I hat said that the Irish party.

every man or them in the House of Commons was loyal. that they were particularly friendly to Great Britainsuppose I had said that they all encouraged and supported the discovery and punisement of crimesuppose I had said that they trusted and supported so far as they could the Viceroy in his difficult task of governing the countrysuppose I had said that they supported the Judges and law ollieere, that they really condemned in strong and our language continually all those who committee these great crimes. and offered the spectacle to the country of such criminalssuppose I had said that they had exhibited great grief at the violent and murderous crimes in Irelandsuppose I bad said exactly the opposit to Nvhat I did say, what would the House or the country or the Irish members themselves have said? They would have said that I was a tool or worse tor making statements which were absolutely untrue. They would have held ale up to seem, and said that I had spokeu tor the sake of insulting tnem. Therefore.

what I have to say of the speech is this. I will not say that every eyilable is accurate, for where the word every comes in with regard to juries it is not accurate; it shout! be many juries, and the word "Judges requires to be put in. tVitli that exception I say that every word of the speech is accurate and true. I say that every man in England, that every member of the House of Lords and the House of Commons might aceept it as such, and scores of them have told tue how entirely tht- accept and agree with every word I uttered. Then comes one other question, and I have done in a sentence.

Supposing all this is true, was it a desirable thing to make that statement on that occasiou and to bring those charges against members of this House? I will not contest that point at all. It is for you. sir, to say whether such a course is a breach of the privileges of Parliament. I think that it is likely a ruie of that sort may be used on very insufficient basis and ground, but if I said anything on that occasion which is contrary to the rules of Parliament and the decisions of yourself, sir, and previous Speakers, all I can say is that I regret it very much, because no man has a right, in a great assembly like this, to set up his own opinion against the opinion of the assembly-, and against the opinion of its presiding officer; and if the House or Coalitions thinks that observations like mine. and all others of au unpleasant kind made Out of the House, are a breach of the rules and privileges ot Parliament I regret having committed myself so far.

But so far as the truth of what I have said is concerned nothing in the world will induce me to withdraw an atotn of it. I was the Iriend of Ireland in the politics of the country with some of the men whom I have seen on the benches of this House. For more than thirty years past I have done all I could to lay before the public, both in Ireland and in Englandto lay before Parliament and the country what I believed to be the grievances that country endures. I have suffered strong attacks from newspapers and from public speakers in both Houses of Parliament on account of the line I have tagen with regard to Ireland. I believe that the sufferings and the ill-treatment of that country within the last 150 years can scarcely be exaggerated, and my sympathy for it is altogether as strong as the sympathy of any man on those benches.

If I had seen a combination in Irelandsuch as I once advised a meeting of Irish farmers to forma combination that would deal fairly and justly with all questions affecting that country. which was not rebellious to this country, which was not concerned in criminal actions, which was not in alliance with the enemies of England beyond the Atlantic, which did not receive money from them, which did not receive as friends the criminals they sent over to this countryif I had seen an hash association which dealt with some regard to moral laws while urging the great justice of the claims of their country, I should have been one of that association, and no word should ever have escaped my lip to lessen the influence of those men in the couctry which they represent. Sir, I have done; I have only to repeat that if you decide. or if previous Speakers have decided for I presume you will be guided very much by precedentthat to make a charge such as I have made, or any others which might be made, against members of this House is not to be allowed, and is contrary to the rules and practice of the House. I submit and express my regret that I said what I did on that occasion.

That being so, I must leave it to the House; but, regTetting what I have said, I Icannot change my opinion, for I know what I have said to be true. youeg hoodlums who have amused themselves by turning in false alarms of lire, thus calling Out the lire department for notning. In 1663-'4 there were sixty-two false alarms altogether. 'This year, up to Aug. 2, there bad already been seventy-seven false alarms, and the police have been powerless or unable to break Pp the practice or detect the malefactors.

Tbe gangs have even intruded into engine-houses and turned iu tne alarm and male their escape. The Superintendent of the service has begun moving the fireboxes into stores and residences on the fire beats, finding no other way to circumvent the mischief-makers. NOTES.

A gang of hoodlums last night attacked a private dancing party in the Ninth Ward and shot a young woman in the face and her escort ill the head. A young mau was stabbed and was desperately wounded up-town last night.

Neither affair came to the knowledge of the police at the time and no arrests were made. VIVISECTION OF BOGS. The real-estate market iein its normal condition for August. Very little activity is looked for at this time of the year. It is true, however, as It has been for weeks past, that the demand for the best business properties is large and the supply inadequate.

Invebtors cannot get what they want at prices they consider fair, anti they cannot bring themselts up to the advance that has taken place in the last Jew weeks. It is believed Ly sonic of the best judges in the city that the situation insures an active market in the fall. They think that it needs but the stimulation of increased 1LIer2antile trade and the conviction that the properties are worm what is now asked for them to make en active movement. It is probable that tho inquiry will extend to classes of realty which are now attracting very little attention. There have recently been some purchases of buildings and lots on tho West Side by people who a short time ago would have looked at nothing but good localities in the business quarter of the South Side.

There was considerable inquiry for acres last week, and two or three trades are apparently on the point of culmination. One expert says that the new railroad construction will stimulate transactions in acres. He cites the Wisconsin Central as an instance of a new road that is hound to put fresh life into that class of property. Manufacturing concerns have recently looked at some sites on the West Side as likely to be availahle for their use, and there is promise of considerable demand for industrial purposes. There was a pretty good trade in small lots for actual occupancy.

Some of the leading houses are devoting unusual attention to that class of property On the theory that, the year through, it yields them better profits than the more valuabie ones. Chicago is a city of small homes, and there are constant and large additions to the ranks of the laboters and others who have acquired a little home of their own. Owners of cottages recently built or now in process of construction report that many per-eons have expressed an intention to buy in the fall. An important transaction was the registry of the tale by Henry V. Benafs to the Richelieu Hotel Company, in which Mr.

Bemis is the head luau, of the building Nos. and 169 Michigan boulevard, with the ground lease, for $175,000. This is in pursuance of a scheme aescribed some months ago. Charles T. Trego sold to Frederick Fischer property on Morgan and Madison streets, 75x100 and 15x25 feet, occupied by stores and fiats, for Edmund W.

Chatfield the northeast corner of Fiftieth street and Greenwood avenue, 26x150 feet, with buildings, for $22.000. The demand for money Del off, but there was no decrease in the supply.

Moninouta Park has been the only course in this neighborhood where the law against betting was not ntore or less stringent ay tetilreed; and there the evils of turf trickery have had such a deveiopment that, to a certatnty, the jockey clubs will try to force a relorm.

THE CHURCH SCANDAL THE SENSATION OF THE NVEEKA SUG(iESTIVE INCIDENT oN THE OCCASION OF HENDRICKS' VISITTHE ELECTRIC RAILWAY. BosToN, Aug. 22.LSpecia1.1--The sensation of the week in Boston Das been the alleged case aerial. con. between a prominent young Baptist clergyman and the deserted wife of one of his parishioners.

The Bev. Mr. Downs came to Boston about five years ago. Friends of the clergyman lay the blame upon the "old fogies who wanted to run the church in their own narrow channel. A member of the church says: "The first I beard of this Tabor trouble was last May some time.

I think. One of the female busybodies of the church came to me and said: 'What does Mrs. Tabor go into the pastors study so much It looked to me like malicious jealousy and an anxiety to make troubie. I said that I didn't see anything particularly wrong about it, and that probably she went on I kept my eyes open for awhile, and I noticed that Mrs. Tabor went into the clergyman's study quite often, but was alwais accompanied by another woman.

I dropped the matter entirely out of my mind, tor I thought it was ad right. There are members in the church, old female gossips and trouble-makers, who are always On the lookout to kick up it row." Mrs. Tabor's mother. art eminently respectable resident of Worcester. says: "Almost from the moment the matrimonial knot was tied Mr.

Tabor began to exhibit his intense jealousy. which soon took the form of painful persecution, and made Mrs. Tabor's life a pertect misery. Ile was almost as jealous of Mrs. Tabor's female friends as he was of her gentleman acquaintances.

If his wife exhibited any satisfaction or pleasure in being in the company of any person, either male or female, he at once took means to separate them. Mrs. Tabor is an exceedingly sensitive woman, and this treatment wore upon her terribly. so that there was a startling change in her personal appearance in a few years." All evening paper says that one incident, and a very suggestive one. of Vice-President Hendricks' recent visit to Boston has remained untold in print.

A prominent Democratic politician in whose composition the wit of his motherland is strongly represented was presented with due honor to the Vice-President, who took his hand in cordial fashion, of course, and shook it heartily, whereupon the Boston Democratic statesman said: "Mr. Vice-President, I am very glad to have a shake from you, for it looks as though that is all we're going to get from the present Administration." Boston will soon have an opportunity to see the practical workings of the electric railway system on one of her streets. A line is being laid on Huntington avenue in connection with the Metropolitan Street-Car line. If it works satisfactorily there, after a thorough test, it will probably be adopted on some one or more of the roads in Boston. CINCIYN X1.1.

i I EXPERIMENTS TO SEE IF DEATHS FROM PE RiToN rris tANNOT BE LESSENED BERtilt PROTESTS. NEW YORK, Aug. 22.rSpecia1.1The anti-vivisectionists of this city are emotional over the doings with dogs by some of the professors of surgery in Bellevue Hospital, Henry Bergh, the great defender of beasts, is the leader of those New-Yorkers who protest against the tuutilatiou of brutes tor the sake of experiments. He bas long sought to get an enactment by the Legislature forbidding vivisection, and last winter, by means of a bill ostensibly for another purpose, he all but suceecued. Now there is a disclosure of the fact that a large number of dogs have lately been, and are still being, cut up in a series of trials intended to demonstrate the feasibility of certain operations upon human beings.

Nearly all of the persons shot or stabbed in this city are taken to Bellevue. In ca-es wherein the abdomen is perforated death usually results from peritonitis, or inflammation of the membrane which the abdominal cavity. In various diseases, too. peritonitis is the fatal climax. Surgeon T.

Herring Burchard. chief operator in the emergency ward of this hospital and lecturer in the clinics of Bellevue Medical Collewe, has held a theory that the mortality from this cause is needlesly high, and that many lives might be suved by the bold surgery of cutting open the body. removing the irritant matter, or even excising gangrenous portions of the bowels, and then trusting to antiseptic treatment for a recovery. Ile urged that whenever the dreaded inflammation became established to an extent rendering death nearly certain if nothing were done then the knite ought always to be plied. This was a new and rather startling- view even in these days of bold surgery.

It was decided to experiment extensively with dogs. These could be obtained in tiny desired numbers from the public pound. The work was begun last spring, tind has proceeded steadily ever Finee. Over lelit dogs have already been used by Dr. Herring and others interested in the subject.

They have suffered the laying open of their abdomens and the re-'need( -Jf sections of intestine to see if they NVM.11t1 recover. In a fair number of instances they have done so. The practice is defended on the ground that. could the operation be hitt nd practicable in human beings, a great number ot lives could be saved by it. Especially would that be true in wars.

But the Bergh people are intensely grieved. II Mt. LEONARD AGAIN DENIESA BIG DIteP IN WillsKVDoiNtiS POLICE COMMISSIONERS. CINCINNATI, Aug. Leonard is evidently somewhat disturbed over the eamp-meeting ale-drinking story.

Payson Weston has funnily failed in an attempt to make money out of foot-racing without himself doing any of the walking. The great pedestrian recently returned from England with a plan in his head for a week of races by inemters of the National Guard. His first move was to visit high Officers among the militiamen, convince them tbat it would be a capital thing to interest the amateur soldiers ill ability for long marches, and so got the signatures of many influential men to a document requesting hint to organize a series of contests. lie next hired the Madison Garden, issued a program, and mado other preparations for the proposed week of competitive marching. I1i first difficulty astonished him.

He got no entries. No soldiers volunteered to tramp tor glory alone while the management took the profits. Pedestrianism without walkers being impossible, the enterprise Inas been ariandoned. Weston is now inclined to accept a challenge from O'Leary for a six-day match. THE 6-RAJ FAMILY.
