what he had read or heard, he was competent to serve. Mr. Mills urged that the formation of an opinion was sufficient to exclude him. It invariably turned out that evie'ence would be required to remove the opinion, so the Court did not give a direct decisiou on the point. During the first half hour of the afternoon session the panel was exhausted, and fifty more jurors who had been summoned in the morning were put on the rack.

This last veaire contained quite a number of really good men, but tne wearers of "white neckties" were dismissed bv the defense. At 5 o'clock, when the Court adjourned, the following had been accepted by both sides Ed Y. Moore, dealer in hardware, No. Michigan avenue; C. E.

Pickering, chemist II. K. Campbell, commission merchant, No. 134 Kinzie street; Angus McGowan, baker, No. 17.2 West Lake street; J.

The second panel having been exhausted another for twenty-five, returnable at o'clock this morning, was issued. Such au early return is made, since to-day is sentence-dav, and the object is to till the jury, il possible, 'before the Court commences its spec-iai business. Nothing more will therefore be done in the case until Monday morning. Some luterest is manifested in the Commissioners' cases, the attendance being what might be called fair about 100. An idea of the appearance of the lookers-on is given in a remark of Mr.

Storrs: "Look at that crowd," he said, "and tell me that Darwin's theory of development is not correct." LITTLE THINGS CROPPING OUT here and there men on the street pointing out to bailiffs where jurors can be found, the presence around the Court-House of contractors and bummers who do dirty work for the "Ring," etc. have given rise to a suspicion that efforts are being made to pack the jury. This is the only salvation of the gang, but as the State's Attorney and Mr. Storrs have knowledge of the alleged scheme and have taken steps to defeat its accomplishment it may not be suecessfuL WOMEN'S C.

UNION. THE ANNUAL MEETING of the Women's Christian Temperance Union convened in Room 3 Farwell Building, at half-past 10 o'clock yesterday morning. There was a full attendance. The devotional exercises were conducted by Miss Frances E. Willard.

About the middle of July there registered at the Tremont House C. A. Stevens, ot Albany, N. Y. He was a large, portly gentleman of about 50 summers and winters, had a placid, dignified countenance such as might be expected in a staid business man of regular habits; wore a suit of faultless black and a "high six" tilted back over an expansive and intellectual brow; his immaculate, linen bore no sportive diamonds, and there were no appearances of flash about him he carried a neat, gold-headed cane, aud walked with stooping shoulders in a measured, self-satisfied way.

He would readily have been set down as a well-to-do merchant, or perhaps a bank President, not a savings-bank either. After passing the customary salutations with the gentlemanly clerk, Mr. Stevens, or Colonel," as he is more commonly known, requested that a New York draft for 100 be cashed. It so happened that the gentlemanly clerk aforesaid had enjoyed the Colonel's acquaintance in the East, and upon the strength of that acquaintance did not hesitate to comply with the request, and cashed the draft. Tae Colonel wanted ouly 50 in cah the other $50 could be credited on his boarding account.

Davs passed away, and the dignified and gentlemanly Colonel continued to make the Trerhout House bis home, and during his sojourn it was learned that at one time he was one of he originators of the Albany lloosac Tunnel Railroad which tlien existed only on paper, and of which he was at one time the" President. Also that he was interested in a patent grist-mill now on exhibition in the Chicago Exposition. One day the proprietors of the Tremont were indeed surprised to have returned to them the $100 New York draft. The bank in New York knew not Joseph," and there was no money to the credit of C. A.

Stevens. The Colonel was approached on the subject. "Tuere must be some mistake about it." he said. Why, I certainly have money there. There is some mistake maybe in the draft itself.

Let me see it." And he looked at it, and it appeared all right. It seems to be all right," he blandly said, and he laughed and seemed to think it good joke that "a man of my standing, you know, should be found in this "tix." Whv, he had $100,000 worth of securities here in Haines' bank, and he laughed awav the idea of his being guilty of drawing a bogus draft- Nevertheless the proorietors of the Tremont House had their distinguished I oarder arrested upon a wanant issued by Justice Pollak, before whom he was taken for obtaining money under false pretenses. Here again be evinced a most appreciative sense of the ludicrousness of his situation. ne. a man of wealth and position, arrested, etc.

He, a man who had his huucire.ls of thousands. He. who wanted some capitalist to go in with him and push the invention of wci li he was the agent or patent-right owner. He even asked to be recommended to some good firms in Chicago that he might do business with, and showed such a bold and apparently guiltless front that he completely disarmed the suspicion which was pointed at him, and succeeded in obta niug a eoutinuance of the case against him, he going free on his own recognizance, accepted at the request of the manager of the Tremont House. Several times during the course of a week succeeding his arrest, which, by the wav, occurred about one month ago, he "called at the Justice's office and made himself solid with his Honor, and the case dragged along.

At last the final dav of hearing arrived, and the Colonel, where was he Gone to meet Spencer, perhaps, lor he could not be fouud, and to this day no trace nor clew of him has been obtained by the lynx-eyed Constable Hartman. wiio has been on trie watch. And now it appears that not only is the Tremont House out the amount of the board enjoyed by the Colonel and the $50 in cash advanced to him, but George Wicks, a sporting gentleman of some little reputation, mourns the loss of $135 the amount of another New York draft which the gentlemanly George indorsed and the Sherman House cashed aud Mr. Noonan, the venerable editor ol the Industrial Aie, is a loser by about $100. Mr.

Noonan is also interested in the grist-mill aforesaid. One little incident which if it have any effect will tend onlv to increase IfAIIUITT'S TOILET SOAP. BABBITT'S TOILET SOAR Unrivaled for the Li I I By GliO. 1. GOHK 68 and 70 Wabash avenue.

The regular monthly meetine of the Board of Directors of the Northwestern Traveling Men's Association was held at tne Sherman House last evening. After the usual business was transacted, a Committee of Arrangements was appointed for the anuual reunion and banquet to be held in this city Dec. 27.

Before adjourning the Board accepted seventy-six (7b) new members, making a total membership of nearly 700. The Reformed Episcopal Church has had another accession to the ranks of its ministry Irom that of the Protestant iscopal Church in the person of the Rev. K. W.

The probability is that Mr. Adams will accept the office of Assistant Minister or Christ Church, which has been tendered him by Bishop Cheney and the Vestry. Special Agent Gavett returned yesterday from a tour of investigation of the Second District.

He has examined the Internal Revenue ortices at Joliet, Aurora, Belvidere, and Rock-ford according to the new Civil-Service- rules, aud found them generally competent and able to answer the questions propounded.

To a Tribtnb reporter he stated that he had the West Side Park Board's case under consideration, and had not vet decided what he would do. But from the tenor of his conversation it misrht be interred that all the Commissioners will be removed, aud that there will be a new deal ail around. He seems to think tha' a change is evidently necessary, and that he will make it when the proper time arrives.

A correspondent writes at length on the evils of selling liciuor to minors in direct violation of the law ou the subject, and claims that the great bulk of the drinking is done bv persons under age.

But the law provides a remedy theprosecution of the offending saloon-keeper, and.

beside that, if the Mayor were satisfied that any man licensed by the city had been violating the law, he would doubtless revoke his license. The law is not self-euforciug, and can be made effective only by the practical aid of the correspondent and others interested in the subject. TH SOLDIERS' HOME. The Board of Managers of the Soldiers' Home met yesterday afternoon at the residence of Dr. Hamill, No.

62y Wabash avenue. A special Committee, consisting of Dr. Hamill, Mrs. Sayrs, and Mrs. Myrick, to whom was referred the matter of consulting with the officers of Rush Medical College upon the construction of a hospital, to be known as the Soldiers' Home Hospital, reported the result of their conference.

The College ffic era desire a loan of $20,000, more or less, at 6 per cent per aunum, and $300 a year for each bed used in the Hospital bv the inmates of the Home. The Board opposed the proposition of the College officers, and diseased the matter at some lengt h. The time of the loan was considered too long, and the interest on the mouey too small, 7 per ceut being deemed a fair rate. It was finally decided to refer the matter back to the Committee, with instructions to report at a future meeting. Mrs.

Dr. Warden, of Cairo, 111., President of the Woman's Industrial College, called on the Beard and stated that the officers ol the institution she represented would like to rent the Home buildings at Evanston, cither furnished or unfurnished, on reasonable terms.

Sept. 28. The work of the reorganization of the Patent Office is progressing favorably. About 10 per cent of the number of models destroyed are known as pending-application models. They are models either still under examination or have passed the office without having secured patents.

The Commissioner of Patents, who returned to-day, has determined to ask all patentees to present a duplicate model at their own expense. This is, of course, a request aud not a demand, as, under the law, it is by no means certain that the Government would not be compelled to make a new model, or at least pay the expense of restoring the lost one, but patentees for cases pending will greatly facilitate the business of the Patent Office and BENEFIT THEMSELVES if thev complv with this request. It will be possiole for them also to incorporate in the new model any improvements which may have been suggested to them since the one destroyed was presented. In cases where patents have been allowed under the destroyed models the examiners will be so familiar with the cases that the rjublic will not be injured by any changes made in them. The Commissioner is receiving about 100 telegrams daily wishing to know what the condition of the office is.

In response he makes the general statement that the draughtsman's division is in perfect working order; in lact, all branches of the Bureau are in eood working condition, and. notwithstanding the lire, the general average of the issue of patents will be but very little below that for the last month. All the models in the west room that were damaged by fire have been taken out and oiled, especially those relatinar to sewing-machines and to improvements in printing. There has been a duplicate tone at work in the debris taking out such models as were made of metal, a lanre portion of which are in a state of preservation. All these will be kept and cleaned, and used either as curiosities or for reference, according as their condition will permit.

SNUBBED. A DETECTIVE DETECTED. Special IHsvutch to The Chicago Tribune. Washington, D. Scot.

23. Some weeks since ex-Special Agent Moore published grave charges against Coi. Ayer, long considered one of the best officers connected with the Customs service. In the accusation Moore stated that Ayer was directly responsible lor the non-discovery of frauds in the Norfolk Custom-House, which he (Moore) pretended to have unearthed the moment he turned his attentiou to the matter. Other officers were also discovered by Moore as equally involved with Ayer in this gross neglect.

Secretary Sherman has caused this whole matter to be investigated, and the result is that Ayer is FULLT VINDICATED, and Moore's attack found to be absolutely groundless. Inquiry also develops the fact that Moore himself did not discover the frauds that he announced with such a flourish as the result of his woik, but that he was sent from the office with full directions as to methods of proceeding and descriptions of iniquities be could bring to if he followed his instructions. Even with the aid which his specific instructions gave him, he was guilty of exactly the neglect and failure which in his report he charged on Col. Ayer. PUBLIC BUILDINGS.

The latest news from Brownsville, is that President Diaz, instead of a-ceptine the resignation of Gen. Trevino, as has been generally reported here, has granted him a leave of absence for four months. One reason why Diaz lias declined to accept the resignation of any of his officers probably is that by giving them a fur-lQueh they incur the danger of becoming traitors.

Detective Steele goes to Rockford this morning to arrest two former commission merchants of this city, who buttered their bread too thickly for these hard times. Cammann Waldron did a haphazard business on Market street, and some three weeks ago they devised a plan for making up what they had lost in an unprofitable trade. Thev put the plan into execution. Saving and buying up empty firkins and crocks, they sent "word to several large Eastern dealers that they had large consignments of rich butter which they could afford to sell cheap.

And their prices" were so low that they got several large orders, one alone of $G00 from Bell Cilley, of Chambers street. New York. They filled the firkins and jars with coarse salt, loaded them on the cars, and in some way got bills of lading from the railroad for a car-load butter. These bills were easily negotiable, and after realizing upon them thev skipped out. In this manner it is calculated tiiey netted some $2,500 from different sources, but thus far Bell Cilley are the only ones who have taken steps to prosecute.

Carainann fe Waldron were arrested yesterday at Rockford upon telegrams from Superintendent Hickey. SUBURBAN. LAKE VIEW. The new engine and pump at the Water-Works are now in position, aud will be ready to begin their useful career in a week. It a pleasure to look over the fine workmanship, which contrasts forcibly with that of the engine already at work.

The town got bitten on this first engine, but has learned by experience, and secured a fine one this time. It is a Corliss engine, built by Harris, of Providence, R. with his improvement in the valve movement. The valves are rotary, worked from a centre-head similar to the new engines on tne West Sine. It is a double direct-condensing engine, with cylinders twenty inches in diameter and two feet stroke.

The air-pump is double acting, aud is worked from the same eccentric as is the centre-head. The whole thing is simple in the extreme and well setup. The pump is an improved modification of the Flanders, and is the first of the kind ever 6et up. Mr. Lang, the patentee, was until recently iu the employ of the Flanders Pump Company, and put iu for them the one now supplying Lake View.

Since then he has made this improvement, and gives it his first send-off here. It is a double pump, with diameters of twelve and a half inches and a thirty-inch stroke, and double-action plungers. The whole force of the driving stroke is through "the discharge, and not partially back on the supply-valves as in the Flanders. A vacuum-chamber is also added to the air-chamber, which facilitates the action of the supply-valves. These are the maiu improvements on the old Dump.

The contract for both engine and pump was taken by Ha-es fe Lang, of Burlington, for Tnis is a reduction of $3,000 on the cost of the old engine. The new pump has a capacity of 2,000,000 gallons per day. Engineer Gurnee is delighted with his acquisition, and it was mainly through his sagacity and experience that the choice was made. Visitors will be excused from inspection for another week, as tney have a weakness for getting in the way and handling things that should not be touched. HYPE PARE.

Yesterday morning the barn of B. F. Ayer was robbed of a shot-gun, boots, and clothing, while Mr. Aver was being taken to the train bv his hired man. The thief evidently knew the time of departure and for making a raid.

He left after being in the barn for the Town of Lake. The police rushed over to the edge, but as they had lost their man did not go over. The barn of Moses Warren was recently robbed in the same way. The police think they know the criminal. A REMARKABLE ELASTIC CARPET.

Several indictments were returned during the day, and this morning a final return will be made and the jury discharged. AW AT GOES THE MONET.

The Committee on Public Buildings and Public Service, excepting such members as were on trial in the Criminal Court for defrauding the county, met yesterday afternoon. Sexton's late estimate for $14,750 was allowed, and McNeil's late communication claiming damages for delays in the Court-House work, on account of the tardiness of the granite contractor, was made a matter of record. About the latter action there is something singular, lrom the fact thai similar communications from McNeil on the same subject have been systematically placed on file. The ob ject of sending such communications to the Board has been to get a recognition of a claim for damage, and the fact toat the ooject was attained yesterday is significant. McNeil has, doubtless, agreed to allow the demands made on him.

It would be hard to conceive of any other reason for the sudden conversion of the Committee. THE AGAIN. While a few Commissioners are on trial for some of the robberies they committed some time ago, others are filled 'with delight over their income from those now going on in the Court-House work. The brick contractor, who has been given $3 per thousand extra, continues to use an article inferior to what his contract calls for, and also to set the brick in an unworkmanlike manner. Commissioner Fitzgerald yesterday happened on the walls and noticed that the bric was not being wet until after they went into the wall, and called Commissioner Holden's attention to it, whose interest in the work.

is represented to be second only to the contractor's. Holdcn denied the charge, made a wager and lost, Sexton's foreman being called on to settle the dispute. The reason they are not being wet is that they are so full of lime that to wet them would be to make many of them useless, as they would crumble to pieces. The conclusion that any one looking on the steal day bv day must come to is that the Superintendents are too few, or that those employed are little better than the contractor and Commissioners. THE PROTECTION COBRUPTIONISTS.

L. M. Sawyer, the indicted Assistant Secretary of tne Protection Life-insurance Com Dan who was arrested Thursday and placed in jail for safe-keeping, gave bail yesterdny in the sum of $5,000. Recorder Broekwav and Mauared A. Morton became his bondsmen, othiug was heard during the day from Uncle Johnny Reid, tne Treasurer of the defunct concern, and Ryan, another of the indicted.

They are known to tie beyond reach for the present, and, it is believed, purposely so. Edwards, the Secretary of the concern, was in court in the forenoon, and bespoke counsel, and the remainder of the day he gave to looking ut bail on the two indictments returned the day before.

About four in five of those who shirked their duty are the kind of fellows who howl about the character of juries in the Criminal Court.

There was also a goodly number of small grocerymen and petty tradesmen, honest enough, perhaps, but LACKING IN INTELLIGENCE, judging from their inability to understand the questions asked them by the attorneys.
