THl TABKBB BBAKB CAS1 A6A1X. Testerday the Chicago and Northwestern Railway Company obtained leaTe from Judge Drummond to a supplementary petition in the case of Thomas Saylee against themselves, la the United States Circuit Court, in which a decree for orer $60,000 Jttad been rendered aeainst them for in fringement of the Tanner brake patent Tb purpose of the petition is to obtain leave to file supplemental bill, or bill of review, for the purpose of upsetting the decree now entered.

The petition is supported by two affidavits of Albert Keep, the President, and H. H. Porter, General Manager of the rail way. The rrounds set ud are: 1. That the master was mi trronerlv directed to comDute the damazes sustained by the complainant as well as the gains and profits of the company.

J. Aa abstruse- question "snotted wheels is raised. as to tbe treatment of 3. The computation of $450 per car per year as the measure of damage is objected to. It Is shown by Poore's Railway Manual that the average number of passenger cars -running on all tha railways in "the country during the fourteen- years covered by this patent" was 4,500, which, at toe computation of dam-ares used, in this case, would result in a sum of For the seven years of extension of the patent alike sum must be added, making $60,000,000 tne value oi one or tne many patents now in use, no to speak of the countless freight cars on which double actintr brakes are used.

4. New evidence is adduced as to the fact that Tanner In 1853 sold to the Chicago, St. Paul and rood du Lac Railway the right to use this brake on their road, which has since become a part of defendants' line by and a deduction is claimed on this ground. 6. is claimed that Tanner and Saylcs both mad' several sales of rights to use their brake, and that by thisaction they established a license fee Ob the value of their patent, by which the amount to ta awarded to the coronlainant in this suit should be of by the profits accruing to the de fendant.

AKOTHBB B1VBB81DB LITIGATION "Considerable excitement was created in the United States Circuit Court yesterday by the filing of several precipes in actions of trespass on the ease agaiust Ben-Jarnin and Seneca O. Kim hark, in which the damags claimed ranged from $100,000 It appears, however, that these suits arise in this manner: The Rivers2 Improvement Company, on Aug. 1, 1SKJ, executed to B. V. Page and S.

IX Kira-bark a trust deed on forty or fifty lots in Riverside, estimated to be worth some $100,000. to secure the issue of twenty-five bonds for $1,000 with interest, due in three years, with six semi-annual coupons. This deed was recorded Oct. 24, 18 70. The bonds were afterward purchased by one Edwin M.

Ilukill. of Pennsylvania, reiving entirely on the security of the trust deed. It will be remembered that on Feb. 22. 1872, Page and Kimbark were induced, it is alleged by them, the officers of the Riverside, to execute releases which they allowed, witbont the knowledge or consent of Hukill, who bad never been paid to be placed on record.

Before the bonds became due, tha Riverside Company conveyed away the lands covered by the trust deed to various purchasers, and lias since become insolvent, in a second count oi tne 80-Bare declaration filed, like allegations are made as to a similar bond for like amount secured on other lands: and thus Mr. Uukill's claim amounts to some $50,000 and interest. A like state of things exists in the case of H. C. Davis, who holds twenty $1,000 bonds under another mortgage dated Aug.

5, 1870, on still Other Riverside C. A. Cooper and X. S. MeFeltridge hold fifteen and two $1,000 bonds, respectively, issued under the security of a mortgage dated Ang.

10, 1870, on still Other lands. It it now claimed that the trustees. Page and Kim bark, having wrongfully released the trust deeds, must stand the conseauences of their acts, and seek their own indemnification at the hands of the parties who induced them to execute the releases. The -suits are brought by Messrs. Lawrence, Winston, Campbell lAwrencs as attorneys.

OfACX AKD ABORT10H DOCTORS. Informations have been tiled by United States' District Attorney Glover against the batch of quack doctors who lately figured in Commissioner Hoyne's court on charges of sending obscene matter through the mail. To -these informations the defendants have pleaded "nolle contendere," that is, they submit to anch Densities aa the conrt mav impose. It is understood that Judge Blodgett will be called on to-day to fix the punishment to be dealt out to this fraternity. The act is question provides for fine ranging from $500 to $5,000.

with imprisonment. at the option of the court, not to exceed five years in the Penitentiary. It is said that Mr. Anthony Comstock, the prosecutor, is anxious to have, the parties imprisoned rather than fined, although he divides the fines with the government. It is rumored that some ef the worst "offenders will be mulcted to the tune of several thousands.

TBI KBW JUST LAW. IHL j4Anl tit. ml.l.lrA been made in the hurry of passing the new jury law of this session. By an omission of certain words the act bas been made to read that it shall be a fit subject for challenge if any juryman has sat upon the trial of any cause within a year last past. The discovery of the error was made by Judge Tree, of the Circuit Court, who at once notified County Attorney Rountree of tne trouble.

Yesterday this udge w.a in nwmt of a note from Mr. Kountree to the ef fect that an emergency bill bad been introduced to remedy this defect. In the meantime several hours were lost in selecting juries, and the Superior Court will have no more jury trials this term. THl PACIFIC HOTEL COWrAST TAX COKTE8T. Yesterday the Pacific Hotel Company, by the Hon.

T. F. Withrow, its solicitor, obtained leave to file a supplemental bill in its suit commenced in the Circuit Court to restrain the collection of taxes on the enor-nnni imuni'iit of the State Board of Eaualization. In this supplemental bill Herman Lieb, the new County Clerk, and P. Cleary.

Collector of South Chicago, are substituted as defendants. The bill goes on to show that taxes to the amount of $3,420 have been extended against the company on the 9350,000 assessment of the State Board of Equalization, and that Cleary is about to take extreme measures to collect them. It is then shown that the $350,000 assessment was made haphazard by a committee of the State Board, without any official information whatever, and that the board itself acted on the report of the committee, without any deliberation. T. Judge Williams granted an injunction, to hold good for 60 days, restraining the collection of the disputed tales.

THB XSICXXBBOCTXB LmSATTOS. 1 Notwithstanding the noted insolvency of the Knickerbocker Insurance Company, not one creditor has been able to obtain a judgment against the institution. Tolman 'at King, the State Insurance Com- pany lighting creditors, snapped a judgment in the Circuit Court the other day. but it Was set aside and tha case put in a position for tciaL Yesterday a Jury was- summoned before Judge Tree, and, after several hours delay, was empaneled and the trial commenced. The claim Is.

for $2,500. The defense set no is that Tolman ot. King, instead of having a stock of drugs in their store at the time of the fire, bad several thousand dollars' worth of liquors. A few witnesses were examined as to preliminary questions; for instance, with regard to the facilities afforded tv the company after the great fire to deposit proof of loss. Oa Monday, however, the real question at issue will come up, and much interest will undoubtedly be felt In toe contest, nien wtu oe a enter one.

PuMfer Co. for $2,000. to be held la trust, for Tice, and be paid to him' when a certain Tice meter" should be placed in working order in their distillery at Peoria, Before this could -be done, the Revenne Department prohibited the placing of the "Tice meter" in distillers, and suit was Instituted to recover the $2,000. he Nusbaums deny that they ever gave their counsel authority to stipulate that Emery should produce the money in court, to be ordered to be paid over to Tice, but admit having received the check from D. C.

Far-relL and state that it was at once delivered to Pulsifer Con because they had no money on deposit there nor have now. The check was obtained oa their credit, which was then good, but they have since been unfortunate, and are unable to make good the amount of the check. Since the order directing the check to be paid into court, they called on Pulsifer Con but they refuse to deliver it to them. The Kusbaums further answer that they are wholly unable to raise the cash, and they therefore ask to have the rule dismissed. TBI CHBKBT CAS B.

Yesterday, before Judge Williams, the deposition of Rev. Dr. Adams, of Keshota, was read at great length, in which he insisted that Bishop Prideanx, Archbishop Aubor and others who differed from the witness were Catholics, Presbyterians, etc. The Doc-toa having been asked to define the doctrine of the Protestant Episcopal Church on the subject of infant baptism, declared that the Church held as follows "Infants 'are born in original sin: therefore they need regeneration. And as regeneration takes place in baptism and all who are are regenerated, except of their own will thru put a bar aeainst the work of the Holy Spirit, and infants put no such bar.

ITARPER'S CASE Qompletloo of thsT Investiiratlon by the Wtvre house) CkxuTnlsaloners. It Liiely tie GMef Inspector will be Urged to Eesign.

It may caum a fluctuation In certain circles to learn that there is a stronf probability that there will soon be a change in the office of Chief Grain Inspector of this city, and doubtless there will be many applicants for the responsible position from which the present W. H. Harper.will probably be induced to retire. The Hon. D.

A. Brown and the Hon. James Steele, Warehouse Commissioners, who have been examining the books and accounts of Mr. Harper as an official, and the general management and conduct of the office, yesterday morning completed their responsible task. They mad; thorough and careful examination, and reached a conclusion which will first be made authoritatively public when communi cated to the Governor.

The Commissioners, with I discretion rare in these dava and seemintrlv uncon qnerable, while cordially welcoming, and most pleas- aniiy entertaining, me reporter, as positively and respectfully declined to waver from their conceived idea ot duty in the premises, leaving him to learn from 'acta, ana infer from an ominous silence on their part as to conclusions, coupled with their eiculDatorv statements as far as they could be made for the bene- ni oi sir. narper, what would be the substance of tneir report and recommendations to the Jovernor. Then the reporter thus speculates: As stated la yesterday's Ibtbb-Ocbab, the Commissioners have saia tnat they have discovered nothing in their exam. ination of the books, or in outside investi gations, which evidences any criminal in. tent.

The books were kept in a sadly mixed condition, public and private accounts being mineled together in a very unbusinesslike manner. The reason assigned for the making of the new set of books, that the old set were defaced, badly soiled, and wretchedly kept by chief clerk Smith, is found to be justifiable. In the new books, while there are omissions of accounts in the old, there is no evidence of intended fraud, as revealed by a comparison of the two sets of books. Even the latter set bas not been so arranged and kept as to command official approval. In view of the fact that the Commissioners have informed the reporter of as much as is given above, and preserved a dignified silence in response to the following queries, the judgment is hazarded' that the Commissioners have said all they could in favor of Mr.

Harper's innocence of the charges made against him "Are there any irregularities in Mr. Harpers No answer. "lias he used public moneys for private use?" No answer. "Has his management of the office been such as to command approval?" No answer. "Have bis personal friends more than others profited by his occupancy of the office?" No answer.

"Is he a competent man for the place?" No answer. "Has his management of the office been satisfactory to a majority of the Board of Trade?" No answer. "Has it "been satisfactory to yourselves?" No answer. The reporter bas learned from outside sources, when the courteous urbanity of the Commissioners could not conquer their sejuie of propriety, that, whatever may be the condition of the financial affairs of the office, there is no danger of any loss to the public. The Commissioners have two bonds from Mr.

Harper, v.hich will amply secure the public in any contingency. Neither do bis bondsmen appre hend any loss, here is notbing in the condition ol Harper's official affairs necessarily causing such apprehension; nor has there been evidenced an intent on bis part to leave bis bondsmen in the lurch. If, in view of the above, Mr. Harper stands not void of offense, it must be added that his accuser, ex-chief clerk Smith, who bad charge of the original books, stauils in no more enviable light. This person waited upon the Commissioners yesterday morning, but the fact that tbej decided not to trouble him by an examination is evidence that tbey must have discovered something which convinced them of bis not perfect reliability as a safe accountant.

Mr. Smith's professed readiness to explain mutilated books kept by biro, it ix judged, is not inspired altogether by an uuselnsh devotion to public interests. The general conclusion arrived at is, that bad the management of the office of Chief Grain Inspector been directed with more competency and care the suspicions which have caused charges, but not proved crime, would bare been avoided, and the Commissioners, as the surpervising guardians of public interests, would not be forced, by a sense of duty, to ask executive interposition for the proper administration of the office. In justice to Mr. Harper the following explanatory card, in refutation of certain charges made by ex-clerk E.

W. Smith, are appended: Omnt or J. Mtkbs 116 East Washington street, Chicauo, Feb. 23, 1674. To the Public: Inasmuch as one W.

POLICE COURT LAC0XICS. Business was dull in the Police Courts yesterday. The army of "drunk and disorderlies'' hardly mustered a respectable squad, and the crop of vagrants was unusually light, perhaps because the most of them have already been assigned to berths at the Bridewell. The most of the cases disposed of were for larceny and other petty crimes, whose perpetrators have been in limbo for several days. Justice Boyden discharged Walter Conwar, the young man ho was recently arrested for robbing a street-car driver of his money box.

There was not sufficient evidence to convict him. Justice Boyden delivered a short lecture on ethics to Thomas llcWilliams, T. A. Ely, and Henry Mc-Cormick, three dapper young tape-measurers. These spirited, but brainless, specimens of effeminacy, after a hard day's leaning on the counter, perambulated South Clark street on, Thursday evening, and entertained themselves hugely by snowballing pedestrians and frightening small boys nearly out of their wits.

The attention of Officers Donahue and AVylie was attracted to their antics, and under escort of these policemen the young men dropped in at the Armory and spent the night there. After Justice Boyden had bored them with a very dry and exceedingly moral disquisition, he turned them loose. Two men of brutal natures, named Nelson and Osborne, were charged before Justice Boyden with the crime of pouring kerosene oil upon a dog and then burning tne poot creature to death. The men were held in $300 each, to appear for examination in ten days. Andrew Rogers and Richard Barnes, who were arrested a few dava ago, charged with breaking into cars on the Alton ana St, Louis Railway, and stealing $600 worth of ready-made clothing belonging to a firm in Taylorville, I1L, were arraigned.

Tbe case was continued, and the men were held in bail of $300 each. Under the present police regime, bad girls can be aa naughty as they please, if they will only be circumspect in their naughtiness; but if they indulge in, free fights and luxuries of that sort, tbey are made to feel the strong arm of the law. Nellie Carey and Jennie McGregor are not only bad girls, but they blason their wickedness to the world with much blare of trumpets. Justice Boyden sent them to the Bridewell yesterday for twenty days. Honors Walker will retire to the suburbs, for twenty-five days, for being a little drunk and very disorderly.

Several years ago Frank Rice was addicted to much petty thieving, and his speculations involved him in frequent troubles. He afterward and was looked upon as a model young man, until about a month ago, when he proved to be sacrilegious enough to steal a Sunday school library. He was held to the Criminal Court yesterday in $1,000 bail. FavaaJljr Jaw. A case of domestio Infelicity in African circles came to light on Thursday evening at the Union Street Station.

The Philip Best Brewing Company stales, as one of the reasons that compel it to raise on the price of beer, tbe heavy drainage upon their resources caused by the loss of beer-kega The proprietors slate that last spring, before they commenced to ship beer to points outside of Milwaukee by lake, they had 10,000 beer-kega This spring an inventory vti taken and only 6,000 kegs were to be found. This showe a loss of S.OuO kegs, each of which is worth $3. Thus they show their loss. In this one particular, to have been during the past year, The other brewers suffer in a similar manner, so that it is fair to estimate the total lose per year, to all brewers In Milwaukee, on the single item of keg, at from $75,000 to $00,000.

HAY AND POTATOES IN FARMERS' HANDS. ky tkva Jacxsoktillb, TIL, Feb.

20. Tbe Jfafioaof Crop Reporter will publish to-morrow estimates In relation to the percentage of the hay and potato crop of 1873, in producers' hands Feb. 1, in the States of Illinois, Iowa Kansas, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin. The following is an extract of the main features presented: The States named pro-, duced last year over 9,000 000 tons of bay, of which there was on hand Feb. 1 a little over forty-etch per cent, or about 4,500,000 tona Illinois retains the lightest percentage, a trifle less than forty-five and Wisconsin the heaviest, nearly fifty-two per cent.

Of Irish potatoes, the Slates above mentioned produced in 1873 some 23,500.000 bushels. The amount on hand now approximates 10,000,000 bushels, or about forty-one per cent. The relative proportion on hand in the several States varies considerably, running as low aa tweuty-eight per. cent In Minnesota, and reaching 55 per cent, in Kansas. The average price of wheat and potatoes in some of the States, relatively considered, are somewhat anomalona In Illinois potatoes average 5 cents a busbel higher than wheat; in Iowa 7 cents higher, and in Kansas 10 cents higher.

The prospects for fruit in Southern Illinois and Southern Missouri are nattering. Baelety 1st Sprisireld, 111. Spbisopiblo, HL, Feb. 17, 1874. To the Editor of the Inter-Ocean.

Sib: If one of the pleasant parties given in Spring field this winter deserves mention more than another, perhaps it is the reception given to tbe members of tbe Legislature and citizens of Springfield by Speaker Cullom. The distinguished Speaker, who is noted, in public and in private life, for his gonial manner, surpassed himself upon this occasion. Mrs. Cullom and her daughters dispensed a gracious hospitality, wel coming the coming and speeding tne pairing guess until a very late hour. The exquisite music, tbe excellent collation, andbe pleasant, brilliantly lighted rooms certainly left nothing wanting in accessories to tbe occasion.

To speak of the toilets in detail would require mors space than this article can claim, but there is no exaggeration in saying that tbe ladies looked like a flock of gay-plumaged tropical birds, or a collection of rare, many-nued exotics. All was life, motion, and gaiety, and when at last the company dispersed, they carried pleasant memories of the friends wbo had so generously entertained them. To-night occurred the third reception at the Executive Mansion. The company was aa usual brilliant and agreeable. The Governor's charming family keep old hearts and win new ones by their' delightful hospitality.

During tbe evening the gas went out suddenly and a pause fell upon the gay assembly. Dancers stopped in the midst of a figure, the courageous caller went on with forward four," but darkness that could be felt reigned in the lower rooms. Wa could not see the ladies' faces, but their expressions must have been seraphic with all curiosity in regard to each other's toilets all inquisitive scrutiny suddenly obliterated. Presently Mr. Shepherd, the gentlemanly Clerk of the House, attempted making darkness visible by means of a tallow dip.

When next seen be appeared in tbe role of Diogenes in his search for an honest man. He brought his light to bear full on the innocent upturned face of Mr: Merritt, of the Rtgitter, but after a moment's scrutiny he felt obliged to continue his search. In a recess near by stood the Hon. William Springer, and near him the dignified editor of the Statt Journal. Had the "light of other days" been sufficiently strong to illumine tbe retreat of either of these gentlemen, Diogenes might have rested from his labors, but as ii was insufficient he groped on his weary way.

Many were the conjectures formed as to the cause ot the suspended gas; some of these were very amusing, and altogether two naughty to find their way into print. Before long the difficulty was removed, tha rooms were flooded with light, and all went- merry as a marriaee oeu. A "very pleasant party at the residence of Mrs. George X. Black had a disastrous tenni-natinn.

The many straneers who." at different times, have visited there will be fiained to know that the house was destroyed by fire soon after tbe com oanT of. last Tuesday night had disbanded.
