The defense, through Mr. Hardy, filed a challenge to the array ou the same ground that the first special venire was challenged viz. that the exhausting of the regular panel in Judge Shepard's room did not exhaust the regular panel of tho entire Criminal Court.

What I complain of is that one holding Robinson's views, as Bailiff Douglass does, should have the summoning of jurors to trv any American citizen. Briefly the facts are these: Douglass was one of four bailiffs sent out at noon to summon tifty men.

No one summoned by any other bailiff was summoned at a later hour than 0 o'clock of that day. Anv reasonable man can see that it should not. oe difficult for the man who had the greatest number of all thirteen to secure them in a few hours. Robinson testified that he lived at No. 703 Walnut street: that Douglass went to his house alone at 9 o'clock at night and summoned him that ho was not out on the street so as to attract the attention of Douglass.

The bailiff therefore sought his man. Robinson also testified that he had been acquainted with Douglass lour or five years; that they worked in the United States Marshal's office together, yet that Douglass would not tell him the name of the case on trial; that he did not know the title of the case; that he had not read about the so-called boodle cases with any care. Vet he is a roustabout in polities, who formerly worked in the Marshal's office and is now employed in the supply-room of the Secretary of State at Springfield upon the recommendation of Representative Decker. No one who heard Robinson's testimony believed that a man living by politics, as he does, was utterly ignorant of this case and was entirely without an opinion concerning it. I became suspicious of the density of his ignorance, and, in ferreting out his connection with Douglass, whose onicial visit to his house at so lute an hour as 9 o'clock at convinced me that, there was something wrong between the men.

I asked him if he belonged to any secret society. He answered. Ves, I do." "What society i it?" He replied: "I could not tell you; I certainly will not tell vou: it is not anything that has anv bearing upon thfs case." I said, '-Vou would not hesitate to tell if it was the Masonic, the Odd-Fellows, the Foresters, or any other benevolent society. Is it anv of theseV He replied, "No. sir." 1 then asked him if it was a secret, sworn society organized to restrict the political rights of any of the citizens of this country.

He promptly replied. No, sir." I asked if it was so organized against the people who worshiped in certain churcht. He replied, No, sir." I said. Iu a certain church?" He replied, Yes. sir." "You and Mr.

Douglass both belong to that Ves. sir." Is it not a society the sworn purpose of which is to exclude those who worship in the Catholic Church from political life?" "I believe that it is." Do you not know that it is'r" "Yes. I know it." It will be seen by this man's answers, first, that he, a politician, professed utter ignorance of a subject which is a common theme of conversation among those who are engaged in politics, as the defendants are active politicians whose names have been before the community for years second, that he did not tell the truth. He said the society to which he and Douglass belonged was not organized in hostility to any of the citizens of this country, yet a minute later he admitted that it was organized in hostility to people who worship in the Catholic Church. I have not dragged tne question of religion mio this case, nor shall I ever do so in any case.

I know too well tbe sad history of countries which have been kept in turmoil and bloodshed for centuries by religious dissension. I did not denounce Bailiff Douglass because his bigotry is directed against the church of which I am a member. I would denounce him with equal bitterness and would hold him in equal contempt if any other body of my fellow-citizens were the victims of his malice. What I object to is that a man with un-American principles should hold an American office; that a man with un-American principles should have the power to gratify his malice by corrupting our jury system and endeavoring to pack our juries with creatures of his kind. This Is not a subject of trivial importance.

It is one of the greatest significance. I do not speak as a Catholic in this matter, but as an American citizen. I hate the Catholic bigot as much as I hate the Protestant bigot. The fiend who during war poisons wells is regarded in all civilized lands as an outlaw. How much more damnable the riend who poisons wells after peace is proclaimed? That is precisely what such creatures as Douglass are endeavoring to do in this country.

We are progressing peacefully. We are living harmoniously. We aie composed of all elements and creeds. We have learned under our free and enlightened government to extend to one another the broadest toleration, and to recognize that in every element and in every creed there are both good and bad. Hut here comes an official paid out of the public treasure who is endeavoring secretly to sow discord among citizens who are living in fraternity and peace.

If fellows with the views of Douglass and Robinson can be fed out of our public treasury while they are waging war on the Catholics today we need not be surprised to hear in future of some other equally vieious bigots taking advantage of their public positions and waging war upon other denominations or races, such as the Presbyterians, Hebrews, and gentlemen who hold the views so ably advocated by Col. Ingersoll. I do not want to provoke or prolong religious controversies. On the contrary. I wish them stifled, and wish every citizen, no matter what his views, to have the broadest toleration, the most unrestricted freedom, and to enjoy perfect security against the conspiracies of secret cabals.

So far as the State's-Attorney is concerned I have no ouarrel with Mr. Grinnell. was surprised, however, at the promptness with which he resented an attack upon Douglass, although he declared Robinson was unlit to be a juror, and said Friday afternoon that Robinson was worse than an Anarch ist." If Robinson is worse than an Anarchist," then Douglass is worse than an Anarchist, for they both belong to the same society and are engaged in the same infamous conspiracy. The State's Attorney said he had no testimony upon which to base his knowledge of Robinson except Robinson's sworn evidence given in open court. If that evidence justified him in culling Robinson "worse than an Anarchist." then he had the same evidence against Douglass given by Robinson.

Fair-minded men of every race and creed will protest against the presence of such men as Douglass and Robinson in public office and against the doctrines of hate ana enmity which they are seeking to disseminate in this country. We live in an age of enlightenment and toleration. It is the nineteenth century, and not one of the dark centuries. It is Chicago, and not Belfast. Let us have no jury-packing, no martyrs to bigotry, and no apostles of hatred fed at the public treasury.

Let every accused citizen have a fair trial. Then if any riian be convicted his conviction will not make a martyr of him.

One class is a respectable portion of tho population, who say they have seen spasmodic efforts belore this, and cannot now believe that the attempt of the engine-house saw the sand-machines at work out in the lake.

An order was thereupon issued that the work was to cease, and instructions given to enforce it. The gossip about Chris Warner's retirement as Assistant City Treasurer was quite pronounced, although Alainor himself denied that there was any truth in it. He also said that the rumor about the matter was an injustice to him, and that it was untrue that the bank cashiers were laughing at him about his ignorance of banking methods. A visit was paid the cashier at the Atlas National Bank, but all that could be learned from him was that occasionally the checks turned in for deposit were not properly stamped. At the Jletroiwlitan, National Mr.

Keith said he had heard nothing of Jlamer's probable retirement, but accounted for the rumor that he was not thoroughly qualified for the position on tne ground that some one from the City Treasurers office had shown on several occasions that he was not in the habit of handling large sums of money. Mr. Keith did not say it was Mamer, but posed that the man in question had been confounded With him. About one week ago Commissioner Swift refused the South Side Gas Company permission to tear up a portion of State street, but, learning afterwards that perhaps the company had some rights in the premises, he referred the matter to Corporation Counsel llorton, with tne request that he be fully informed on the point. Mr.

llorton yesterday addressed the following letter to him: I am of opinion that tbe Chicago Gaslight Coke Company has tbe right, under its charter, to lay Dines in the streets and avenues of this citv, "provided that no permanent injury or damage shall be done to any street, lane, or highway in said but I am also of opinion that such laying of pipes is subject to such reasonable control! regulations, and restrictions as tbe City of Chicago, through the Commissioner of Public Works, may see lit to impose. I am also of opinion that it is a reasonable regulation to require the enmnany to obtain permits before interfering with or opening the streets, and that you have the right to ithhold such permit, provided the proposed interference with the streets would cause permanent injury or damage to the The chief objection to granting the permission was that the companies never replaced the paving as it was before the streets were torn up, but simply hurried over the work, the city in a short time being cotniielled to do it over again. Mr. Swift. has succeeded in getting around thisixnnt.

and in the future when streets are oiened by the gas companies the repaving will be done by the city and the bill sent in to the gas companies for payment. A bond in the sum of has been prepared and will be signed by the gas companies tomorrow. It is conditioned upon the payment of these bills whenever presented by the city. This is something of a reform by the new Commissioner which will be generally appreciated by the public. The Democratic reorganization scheme received an imiietus Friday that will help it along considerably.

After the conference in the Iroquois Club during the afternoon three- of the members of the committee appointed at the Palmer House meeting some weeks ago got together and talked the matter over. Messrs. Trumbull, Hynes, and Wells were the evntlemeu. They discussed the matter at considerable length, and while prepared themselves to take some defi-nit actiOD concluded to postpone doing so because of the absence of Messrs. Green and Cullerton.

Another meeting will be held next Tuesday or Wednesday, when it is expected that the plans will be fuiiy matured, and that the cooperation of ail the Democratic organizations in the couuty will be promised. it reformation is of a permanent character. The other class consists of those who have 1-ersonal interest in seeing the attempt fail in its ultimate object, and they are loud in their opinions that the reform will not last.

The Chairman said the committee did not care to inquire into the Colonel's political affiliations; that the committee presumed he was a Republican, else a Republican Mayor wrould not have presented his name to the Council. This point having been satisfactorily settled, Col.

Quirk continued: "Then it is charged that 1, as judge of Republican primary, refused to receive the vote of Dr. Buehan. I admit the charge and claim that Buchau is not a Republican." Aid. McGregor asked why Buchan was not a Republican, and Quirk retorted that in ls-To Buchan was a precinct captain in tlie Thirteenth Ward, and that he caught Buchan scratching tickets, and decapitated him on the spot, putting another man in his place. He: also said he would prove that Buchan was always a Democrat when things did not suit him, and that he voted against Davis.

The Colonel also denied that he had drawn a revolver on Mr. Gill. H. B. Murdoch, who was a judge at the primary where the revolver episode took place, said that when Quirk refused Buehan's ballot Mr.

Gill came to the window and took up Buehan's quarrel. Some hard names were called, and Gill said: "I'll put a bullet through you." Quirk, at this time, took out a revolver and said: "I'm ready for you." Aid. McGregor asked Mr. Murdoch if he would take the votes of Buchan and Gill at a Republican primary today if they came up. and he said he thought he woulu, but at that time they did not come up to the standard.

Aid. McGreaor said that the reason the votes were refused was that a year ago. when Aid. Eandon was running against Bat Quirk, brother of the Colonel, for the Quirk crowd excluded the votes of all who would not promise to support Quirk if he was nominated. Chairman Manierre here tried to explain that this was a question as to Col.

Quirk's fitness for the office, when the doughty Colonel broke in with "It's not a question of the office. I don't care a snap for tlie office; but 1 want to sustain my character, which has been attacked." The Chair continued by saying that thev obeyed in both letter and spirit. Any relaxation can only come from the power which originated the movement. POLICE ATTITUDE. 'Mv said Capt.

Philadelphia and Baltimore business On westbound traffic the divisions will be the same as east-bound on the first three classes, the through rates bung the same both ways, but on the three lower classes the lines from New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Boston will charge and keep their full local rates to Chicago. The above through rates are made to provide for the inequalities which exist in the through rates based upon the tariff rates east and west of Chicago as compared with the through rates via St. Louis based upon the local rates east and west of St. Louis, the latter bciug the lower. Hi order to establish further satisfactory conditions through rates and divisions are provided to govern the combination of the two classifications when they differ, and the Chairman of the Southwestern and Western Bureaus and the Chairman of the Central Traffic Association and the Freight Commissioner of the Eastern trunk lines are constituted as a committee for the establishment of through rates and proportions thereof made necessary by changes of tariffs from time to time, and to agree upon tariffs which will equalize disparities of classifications.

The minimum through rates between said Eastern and Western points will be those based on the route via St. Louis. In no case will the through rates and divisions thereof between intermediate points on the lines of the parties to said through rates between the Missouri River points and jwints on the Eastern territory described exceed the through rates to and from the Missouri River. lu no case, however, is any party to this agreement to receive more than its local rate ou Missouri River through traffic. As to rates via intermediate junctions east and north of St.

Louis, the divisions east of said junctions will be based on the above divisions to and from Chicago, extended on the authorized IK't-centage scale. Rates and divisions via ali lines east of Chicago are to be uniform. lu order to establish uniform through rates between and via Missouri River points south of and including Council Bluffs and competitive jHimts west of the Western termini of the Eastern trunk lines, the following rules were established: When through rates are quoted via Chicago they shall be based iu both directions upon the established tariff rates to or lrom St. Louis, plus the rates established between St. Louis and Missouri River points, when the additions of rates via St.

Louis are the lower; that from tue said rates between the various competitive points and the Missouri River there first be deducted rates not more than those charged from and to St. Louis, and the remainder be divided via Chicago, Peoria, and Uloomington on the basis of the recognized mileages east of Chicago, Peoria, and Uloomington, and constructive mileages west thereof, of lito miles from and to Chicago, 130 miles from and to Uloomington, 1,1) miles from and to Peoria, the said mileages to be uniform by all lines and routes east and west of said named points by-routes that accept business therefrom and thereto. Traffic in both directions between intermediate points shall not be charged at higher through rates than between longer through points on the same joint lines of the parties to this agreement, and the divisions of the. said rates shall accord with those accruing to the parties hereto, respectively, from the divisions of the through rates upon which such intermediate rates are based; provided that in no case shall any party hereto charge or receive as a division of the through rates more than its local rates between the same points. When the sum of the locals via Chicago, Bloomington.

or Peoria is the same or less than St. Louis, the locals shall govern and the lilies shall charge and retain their local rates. The foregoing shall apply to all points east of Chicago shown in former through tariffs, and not to apply to any other new basing points unless specially agreed upon.

On this very small point both sides stood firm, and the court was obliged to send for the records of the other courts. The records were produced and disclosed the fact that the jury in Judge Tuley's court had been discharged Thursday night and that in Judge Tuthill's court Friday night. It was therefore plain that the defense had been standing out on a point that had no foundation of fact, whcreujion the State enjoyed a laugh at their expense, and Mr.

Grinnell remarked that, although the point made by the defense had not been well taken, the State did not want to dodge the question. The record of proceedings on the point as raised on the lirst special venire would raise the question at issue before the Supreme Court. The court thereupon overruled the challenge and the defense entered an exception as usual. At the suggestion of the court valid legal excuses were received from the men on the new venire, and three or lour were excused. One was not a Citizen, another a member of the Second Regiment, I.

N. another a clerk of election, and so on. J. F. Jarnicke, one of the examined jurors under custody over night, was excused by consent on account of a sick wife.

The State then proceeded with the examination of jurors for disqualification for cause. The following were examined and excused for cause, being prejudiced: J. H. Urahill, No. It) North Wells, clerk; Frank Nies, No.

1T4 Ontario street, barber; Eiof Johnson, No. Austin avenue, grocer. E. L. Roland, No.

34 Delavan place, harness-maker, was examined but not passed upon. C. Prizhorn, No. 154 North Clark street, har-nessmaker, was examined and peremptorily challenged by the State. The defense objected to the challenge on the ground that the State had already expended ten peremptory challenges and was entitled to no more.

The court deciued without argument that the usual rule, ten challenges to each side for each defendant, would be followed, and the defense entered an exception. At the adjournment of court at 1 o'clock there were six jurors in the box to be delivered into the custody of the bailiffs over Sunday. Four were the jurors accepted. Miller, Quinlan, Young, and Gronsted, while the other two, F. O.

Swanson and E. L. Roland, have been examined and are under advisement. To them the court made a short address, outlining the pleasant prospect in store. During the afternoon and also Sunday they would bo taken to the parks for exercise by the bailiffs.

They must not ride in a street-car, nor go to any place of public amusement, nor travel upon a crowded street when a quiet thoroughfare could be found. No communication with their families would be allowed except by letter, and all correspondence was to be read by the bailiffs. The married men would not be allowed to talk with their wives even in the presence of the bailiffs, for tne reason that the bailiffs could not be supposed to know their wives by sight and therefore be certain of the identity of the women. No newspapers could be seen until after a full jury had been impaneled, when it was hoped that some arrangement might be made between counsel upon the subject. Letters could be opened in court Monday, and jurors would be permitted to transact necessary business in open court that day.

By this time Dr. Buchan was on his feet and the fun began. The doctor declared that his character had been assailed and that he wanted to explain. He denied that Quirk was in charge of the ward and claimed that he was trying to defeat one of the Republican six with the understanding that je Court, Clerk of the County Court, Corone ury should remain.

The reorganization of the Central Station has begun in earnest.

Chief of Police Ebor-sold and Lieut. Steele held a lengthy conference yesterday, the result of which was that ten men who were on the roll it the Central Station were reduced to the rank of patrolmen and distributed among various precincts with orders to report at 7 o'clock this morning for duty in uniform. The men transferred were: Tom Trehorn, John McDonald, Biliie lloliorau, and Jim Duffy, assigned to Capt. Buckley at the Harrison Street Station Ed Flaherty. Tom Dooloy, John Connor, and Dan Kelly, assigned to Capt.

O'Donnell at the West Twelfth Street Station Edward Cosgrove, assigned to Capt. Schaack at Desplaines street; and Patrick Maloney, assigned to Capt. Ward at West Chicago avenue. Chief Ebersold said these changes as well as all others that have recently taken place in the department were made only after careful deliberation, and that in some instances clemency had been used in the retention ol the men on the force. His desire was to show every consideration, and he had therefore given them another chance.

No selections have been made to fill the vacancies created by yesterday's transfers. Chief Eb-ersoid says that these as well as all future. apiKji.ntmonts 11 be made on merit only, and that he shad take time to look around him so that all the promotions will be judicious and for the best interests of the citv. that tUe Water-Works of the city have beeu sometimes overtaxed.

McGregor asked Col. Quirk if lie usually carried a revolver at the polls, and Quirk said he did not, but he did on' this occa sion, because Mr. Gill, who is a old man, always had a slugger named Pat Casey with him election day, and the Colonel wanted to be prepared for trouble. Mr. Stone said that he knew Quirk made no demonstration at the polls with his revolver, And only said he was ready to defend himself.

Mr. Stone alluded to the Thirteenth Ward fight, and the Chairman said the committee wanted to know something about Col. Quirk's qualifications for the office, and Mr. Stone said he would answer by asking what John Finerty knew about oil. Representative Henry Decker, Dr.

Lewis, and other gentlemen then told the committee that they thought Col. Quirk a man of irreproachable character, and fully capable of attending to the duties of the office of Gas Inspector. Aid. White asked Col. Quirk if he had anv knowledge of the duties of the office, and he replied that he had not, but that he thought he had brains enough to go to the of the matter, and, thanking the committee, withdrew with most of his friends.

A Pleasant Tarty Last Night at the North Side Turner-Hall. The North Side Turner-Hall does not particularly suggest springtime beauties and the lisp of leaves and ripple of rain," yet it was here that Court Friendship, No. is, ot the Independent Order of Foresters, held their May party last evening.

The balmy evening was at least appropriate to the idea, and every one of the Independent Forest ers must have felt it a mercy that a belated blizzard did not utterly destroy their pretty fiction. On the platform were the musicians in as luxurious a bower of greenness as poet ever dreamed of in May or any other month. There were a canopy of foliage, soaring trees, thick-leaved, and a sylvan perspective that must have invited the feet of the dancers with its mimic coolness. It was not only a May partv, but a calico hop as well. Indeed, it was a calico hop, iHvanxr it was a May party.

Really, it seemed as if there was a sample there of every sort of calico in the citv. Every one had flowers, as of course they should have at a May partv. There was no trailing arbutus, no hepa'ticas, no Indian paint-brushes, no dog-tooth violets. But there were roses of many sorts, and lilacs and four-leaved lilies. The gentlemen paid their respects to the occasion by wearing neckties of calico as well as flowers in their buttonholes.

The plump fact is that every maiden wore a gown the counterpart of some particular tie, and the couple thus happily or unhappily linked danced the first dance together, regardless of previous acquaintance. The gay Foresters tooit to this sort of thing with a good grace. They were always merrv rogues these Foresters, from Robin Hood down' aim could always dance a measure and draw bow Last night it was the ladies who drew the beaux, but this is the age of women anyway. The programs were in imitation of blue and white plaid calico and bore twentv-four honest numbers with a Lady Washington and a Monme Musk among them, for were not I oresters always fond of contra dances' As a party it was a success, and, since the night was in the month of Mav, it follows that it was a successful May party.

Editor of The Tribune. Your readers, I fancy, will imagine from the brief synopsis of the examination of jurors you haye published daily that I have made unreasonable complaint about the summoning by Bailiff Douglass of T. R. Robinson, who testified he belonged to a secret anti-Cath-clic society. It is not the mere fact that Robinson was summoned that I complain cf.

Any bailiff might summon a man holding Robinson's views without knowing them. But an honest, fair-minded bailiff a city one-third of whose population is composed of cit zens of Irish birth or descent will not iiiid it easy to bring in a list of jurors in which there is rot a single Irish-American citizen. Thejr deliberate exclusion was an outrage because it implied that that element there could not be lound fair, law-abiding citizens. That bailiff could not make a list of the bank Presidents, the bank directors, the merchants, the manufacturers, the great stock-yards uro-prietors, the lawyers. th3 doctors, the press writers, the Judges of Cook County, without writing Irish names, and honored ones, in each of those bodies.
