THE COURT BECOBD. Tbe Arguments In the Great Chicago and Tax Injunction Case on Hearing. Alton The ChejiT Case Progressing SIowlj Still More Tax Litigation Begun Various Items. Tbe great tax case of Morris K. Jessup against the Chicago and Alton Railway Company and the collector, of all the counties in this State through which the road runs, came np for argument before Judges Drummond and Blodgett yesterday morning, on the motion for an injunction to restrain the collection of taxes as assessed against the company by the State Board of Equalization.

This being the first instance in which this question of the validity of the acts of the State Board of Equalization and the constitutionality of the grab law of 1869 have come before the Federal courts, considerable interest is felt in the result. Mr. Jessup, of New York, who is a heavy stockholder in the company, urged tbe corporation to file a bill in the State courts to vacate and enjoin what to him seemed an illegal taxation. The company refused to take action, pleadiug the difficulty of obtaining redress in the Slate tribunals. Mr.

Jessup then taking advantage of his being a citizen of another State filed his bill against the Chicago and Alton nd all the collectors interested in the subject matter. A temporary injunctional order wa granted restraining the collectors until tbe questions at issue could be argued at length. Yesterday morning the motion was brought up before the full bench, and General Geo. W. Smith opened the argument on behalf of Mr.

Jessup. He was followed by M. F. Tuley, and John A. McCler-nand, of Springfield, on behalf the various collectors.

Attorney General Edsall then commenced his argument on behalf of the State, which he will conclude this morning, and be followed in reply by Judga Beckwith on behalf of the complainant. Prominent among the distinguished railway and other attorneys present yesterday were Bay lis W. Hanna, Terra "Haute; Charles A. Beecher, of'Wayne County, 111.: Colonel Robert G. IngersolL Luther Dearborn, Mr.

Keyes, Messrs. Knapp Green, of Springfield; and Wirt Dexter. FBOGKZSS Or TBB CHENEY CASK. The examination of Bishop Whitehou.je occupied all the forenoon. He testified as to the authority of books of reference cited for both sides of the case; also with reference to Christ Church having promised conformance with the doctrines, discipline, and usages of the Protestant Episcopal Church.

On the conclusion of the above, Mr. Judd continued his argument. The references to the Scriptures were exhausted, and he is now discussing the Epistolical fathers quoting Clement of Rome, Polycarp, Ignatius, and Hennas. About sixty volumes more of the same description of ecclesiastical literature is yet to be explored. MOBS TAX LITIGATION.

The Chicago and Northwestern Railway Company filed a bill in the Circuit Court yesterday endorsed on which was an order for tempory injunction from Judge Mc Allister, of the Supreme Conrt, restraining H. S. Miller from collecting 10,499.80 taxes for Cook County, levied on the capital stock of the company, the sum of $1,471.60 for State taxes, and tbe sum of $6,869.11 extended upon the increased value of lots which are in fact railroad track. The Bank of Chicago on Monday filed a bill in the Superior Court against P. M.

Cleary and H. Miller tor. strain collection of taxes. THE COCRTS. Motions for new trials in tbe United States Circuit Court will be called oa the conclusion of the Chicago and Alton tax equalization case.

Yesterday was the last day for filing trial notices in the Circuit Court for the March term. The new calendars are now being prepared. In the case of TerwOliger et al. vs. The Great Western Telegraph Company, Selah Reeves et aL, Mr.

Adams, the Master in Chancery to whom the case was referred, yesterday withdrew, D. A. Gage being a client of his and interested in the case, and Grant Goodrich was appointed to take proofs and an accounting between the Great Western Telegraph Company and Selah Reeve, in obedience to the opinion of The Supreme Court. Tbe Jenkins divorce suit is still on trial before Judge Moore, in the Superior Court. Application was made yesterday by Wilson Brothers, shirt manufacturers, tor an injunction restraining the Collector from collecting the taxes levied upon that firm under what is claimed to be an erroneous assessment.

Judge Far well granted an injunction as to six-twentieth3 of tbe taxes, and denied it as to the other portions. There was nothing done before Register Hibbard yesterday, and there is nothing set for to-day. THE RECORD. CsUted States Ctrmlt Court--Marc si le. NEW SUITS.

The Kedzie Freshman prize, es tablished by J. H. Kedzie, is awarded to members of tbe freshman class who shall excel in declamation At an early hour the church was crowded to its ut most capacity. Notwithstanding the attempts of the rresnraen to prevent tne ULSiriDuuon oi moca programmes, about 500 found their way into the hands of the audience. They contain many pointed and laughable jokes, not only on the sneakers, but also on many prominent persons connected with the Univers ity and the Methodist thnrch.

Va tbe whole, tbey were much better than the generality or such pro grammes. 1 be exercises themselves, although very interesting, were not equal in merit to those of the preceding classes. The programme was oiened with music bv the band. Professor D. II.

Wheeler next offered prayer, Music followed. Miss Anna A. Davis began the contest bv reciting "Hhymeof the Duchess May." Miss Davis' appearance was graceful and attractive. She spoke with dis tinctness and feeling, using appropriate gestures, The rendition of Burial March of Dundee," by W. L.

Demorest, was well received. The conception of tbe piece was just. Aside from slight restlessness in attitude, tbe declamation was excellent. While the band was discoursing sweet music, a large charcoal caricature, worthy of N'ast, representing the defeat of the Freshman Class in their attempt to get possession of the mock programmes, was lowered from the ceil ing. It consisted of a couple of sophomores blowing vigorously into the large end of a horn, and the Freshman class crawling, in a limp and woe-begone condition, from the small end.

8ub- The Wonders or the Star-Depths Fixed Stars-All About Comets and Meteors. STAlt-DEPTnS. The following was unavoidably crowded out of the Intee-Ocbas of yesterday Ed. It is not an oft-recurrinsT event that an InwHnin audi- ence is privileged to pass an evening in the company of a foreigner, especially an Englishman, whose scientific aud other attainments have made his name fa miliar to readers and thinkers on both sides of the Atlantic. Such an event was last evening at kiugsbury Music Hall, where Professor Richard A.

Proc tor delivered the first of a aeries of three lecture ou astronomy. The subject to which be di rected thought for the hour was "Tha Wnt of the 8 tar-Depths." The learned speaker was greeted wun an assemblage mat miea tbe large hall to repletion, and consisted of the leading scientific men of this city. whom the reputation of the lecturer and the Interest of the topics discussed had drawn from their studies to glean a few suggestions from a geographer of the heavens whose own eye aud instrument have measured some of these mar-vela The appearance of Professor Proctor on the platform, at the time announced for the lecture to begin, was the signal tor we auuieuce io snow its spini, wnicn am Dy a nearly round of applause. In a few well-chosen words the Han. i.ecammon inrroaucea me learned lecturer, no at once entered on his work.

Professor Proctor is maa somewhat above tha middle stse. He has the physique of an Englishman, although there is at first sight not much to attract in it and it Is only when he 1 interested in the unfolding of some peculiar points to which he would call special attention, and In the elucidation of which he is heart and soul, that the commonplace is forgotten, and the subject rather than the speaker engrossea There was a strongly marked English accent which was more noticeable when for a moment a wora naa accidentally dropped out, and a search made for tne missing una. The speaker has a rapid delivery, and the rows of figures presented from time to time during Uis course of the sveutn indicate his tenacitv of the mathematician's mystic charactera They were marshalled at will and disbanded at pleasure, disappearing as easily as they were called out The lecture was delivered after the Celtic style, without notes; Indeed had the speaker to resort to anything; like manuscript, ita perusal would have been impossible, as tha illustrations bv the aid of the instrument could be discerned but at tha expense of the rest of the hall ilfhta Tha lecturer spoke substantially as follows: The thoughtful mind when gazing out Into the tmmeaaur able heavens on a clear, quiet night, is impressed with the feeling that there is a solemn calm reigning In those infinite deptha This was a poetic idea, and even presented Itself to those who study the first teachings of astrooomr. We know the stellar pbere is carried from east to west in a single day, the sun and moon, and if the say is watrhed night after night at the same time, the observer win nnd motion in the same direction during the rear. There was another motion bv which the whola sphere of the heavens seems to gyrate about an axis, tha gyration period being 26,000 years.

These motions are not resu; uiej ar produced by our cartas motions; that the earth rotating on her axis in a day mat caused the heavens to seem to turn. The earth gyrated like a hugb clock on har axis in that period of 2S.su) years, and caused the whole sphere of we neaveus vo seem gyraia in ine same penoo. Modern astronomy laugm mucu DSToaa uese nrst lessons, ana wnere were seemed to be rest waa an activity. in which all forms of earth-life were small and tnsiguin- cani. Biaro uti appear sun are ruining tnrougn space many miles a minute.

We must know the size of these stars thai are traversing space, and to know that we must have their distance. There Is only one star that we know the distance of. and nine or ten others thai we know some thing about. The problem Is one of great difficulty. The astronomer had to determine it by two ob servers placed at opposite sides of the earth, or one observer in different pans of the earth's orbit, separated oj nuie.

except niae or va no star remains unchanged in direction. Yet their distance must be great when a change of S83.000.0UO miles in the point of observation causes no DerceDtible change In their direction. Tbe lecturer explained and il lustrated a demonstration by which the smallest change in the star Alpha Centauri. of the southern heavens. was seen.

That star was 210,000 times as far away from us as our sun. There Is an- otner star of which I will sneak, the kin of stars, the star Sirius. It is tour times as bright as the star in the Centaur, and it is five times as far away; therefore, being five times as far away. It should shine with the twenty-fifth part of the light of that star in tha Centaur. But being apparently four times as bright, it Is, therefore, really one hundred times as bright.

That star tn the Centaur la three times as bricht as tbe sun, and Sirius is, therefore, 300 times as bright as the sun. Then Its volume exceeds the sun's 2.0U0 tlmea There Is an orb differing from our sun, even in a greater degree iban the relation of the sun to Jupiter. There is Sirius giving out an enormous amount of light, but bow do we know that it is a sun like ours that these stars are not vaporous bodies If so, while they have enormous masses, may they not have the amount of power bv which ther ara ahla tii all ract and therefore rule systems of bodies circling around. mu iruue recently were seemea no means of ascertalulng whether that notion was true or not. But bv the method of the spectroscope we find that khey are suns like ours.

Father Secchi, Dr. Rutherford, DrJ Iiuggina Dr. Wilier and others' theories were recapitulated, and dwelt upon, and me lenaoie aua untenauie in. eacn pointed out. Ul Seccbi analysis be said: We begin to recognize the fact mat oeccci analysis is a means of determining not merely that there exift certain elements in the star, but that they exist in certain condidona When we examine the spectrum of the star Betelgeux we will find that the lines of hydrogen are not wanting, although they are not bright; then we find that there are other stars where the lines of hydrogen are bright, showing that the hydrogen exists In a somewhat more heated state.

There was a star appeared lu li a telescopic star which flashed Into view and ruse to the second magnitude; and when that was examined, during lu greatest brilliancy, it was found that on a rainbow drifted streak forming its spectrum there were lines of brightness of glowing hydrogen. The lecturer passed on to the nebulae, or star cloudlets. These, and many others, were presented on the screen, and explained by the lecturer. He dwelt on the enlarged pie-lares of the nebulae, among which was the "dumb bell nebulae," named so because of its similarity to a dumb bell. This was seen by the great Rosse's telescope.

Concerning the Qualities and value of telescopes the lecturer had something to say. The refractor at Cambridge was superior to Rosse's telescope, and Ui ere are still greater possibilities when it is known that Alvin Clark, an American optician, was to make a telescope to be five feet in aperture. Clarke is the greatest of living opticians, and, if telescope is to be made, it is to be houed he mav be spared to make it. Wright's theory was passed to. and although It is ascribed to bir William llcrschel, he is not its author.

Herschel gauged the heavens, and because he found tbe stars were great in number in the direction of the Milky Way and in its neighborhood, he concluded the starry system Is a great extension toward the zone of the Milky Way. and because that zone is divided in one part, he concluded the system is ciovcn in uai oirecuon, ana oe came to tne conclusion that that system is ilka a cloven disk. According to that theory, the nebulas would appear to be a number of galaxies of sura But another astronomer noted that tba Milky Way waa not of that uniform structure which tbe theory of right seemed to reaulre. It Is like a cloud, and there is sufficient to indicate that the Milky Way consists of clouds of stars. The picture on the canvas showed a section of our starry system based on that view, and in that section there is supposed to be a multitude of comparatively small spherical clusters of stars.

According to Lambert, these spherical clusters form together a cloven, flat disk. The work of sir William Herschel and the error of the books were commented on. and their fallacy shown. The way tbe text books some of them treat of the MUky Way, and their definition of it. reminded him of the answer the boy gave when asked what the milky way waa lie saia it was a traue wina cauea tne aurora Boreans." A picture of the great bear was presented, and a number of interesting observations made upon it.

Five of these aura on the Plata are traveling in a common direction and apparently at a common rate. Now these stars are nouble also in having the same kind of a spectrum, that leading order to which Sirius belonga It has the strongly marked lines of hydrogen. Tbey must be really much further awav than these other stara theea in tha nnner incloaure, and they are really further away. The lecturer concluded the description ot the fllnstratione by remarking that there was- another sign of change in the stara, a gathering in a certain region. There is, in point of fact, a vast variety where everything seems so regular.

Look at the Milky Way In a dark and clear night, curdled In one part, branching in another, and how the branches separate, gathering in nodules of lightness and then then believe that the star systems are so regular as yon supposed. It is infinitely more full of variety and vitality than one supposed. We see streams and nodules and branches of brightness, and it seems to me that when the astronomer has penetrated Into the recesses of the milky way, that he has no more reached the bounda of the universe than at the beginning of his research. Be has only examined mora ana more minutely, a particular corner of the star system. It really extends on every side, around and around that system, and we have net reason to believe that we can reach the bounds of the star system.

The telescope brings into view, beside the larger stars, minute starry flakes; and if the telescope could be made stronger, It would bring Into view more and more, and we should find that the extent was really illimitable. We And a groupof suns of which our sun is a single member. Then again we pass to systems brought into view by the telescope, and find that the star system to which oar sun belongs is only a pan of that one an atom in apace. The astronomer can give the figures, but he can no more express their significance to himself than he can unfold their limitless meaning to othera Tbe lecturer concluded by reciting Kirn lex's dream of the mortal, who was stripped of everything bat his human heart, and sent on a journey through the skies. An able and, it is hoped, an effective plea was presented by Mr.

Proctor in behalf of the telescope at the Dearborn Observatory in this lie did not desire to aee tbe second instrument in the world lie aseic, especially' -when there were each worlds of discovery constantly open for it Chicago was crippled by a calamity, but she or the world could not afford to let the capital already Invested go to waste tain unemployed. re- -1 COMETS AND METEOHS. imss t.srroaa av raorasnOB An unusually brilliant andience assembled last evening in Kingsbury Ball to hear tbe second of Professor Proctor's popular astronomical lectures on Comets and Meteora" The speaker came upon the platform unannounced, and was received with welcome, after which he spoke substantially as follows: The sobieet of "Comets and Meteors" waa really one that should have a dozen lectures unon it. It was full of mysteries and recent discoveries. Comets and meteors were so unlike, that, to begin with.

It waa a great wonder tbey should be In any way associated, for the first are very targe oouies, tar exceeding tne sun in magnitude ana tne largest stars, and having the faculty of coming from fathomless depths of space after Journeys which must have lasd. ever oi ysaia, railung. toward the ma, passing close around him, and then away with no hint as to what depths they fly to; while meteors are of such small dimensions that a child could in many eases carry them. The facts most impor tant in the text books of astronomy were dwelt npon. The lecturer would begin with comets.

Comets, In the first in-stance, came from outer space, and, after traveling almost directly toward tha sun for long periods of time, circle around htm, and pass away again. There was a fact wmca seemed to place them beyond the ordinary laws oi motion, especially of the planetary system, but it waa in this that astronomers first obtained proof that the truth of gravity could not be resisted. Newton took the comet of 16x0, found It traveled on a parabolic course, or an exceedingly lung oval, could tell that it wouia pursue a certain course, aimougn its orbit was altneether different from maneta. and changed daily. It was Newton's mastery of the laws of celestial motion that convinced astronomers of the truth of the laws of gravity.

The comet came, followed Newton's path, traveling toward the sun almost directly. When within a sixth part of the suu's diameter, circling about him, then passing away on a track like tne one on wnicn it came, it had, like all comets of distinction, a long tail wuk-b extended as it drew near tbe sun, but away from it. It passed around the sun lu a few hours, when It was seen on the other aide with a tail not the same as it had W.OUO.OoO miles in extent, not carried by it, but going before it. It had taken four weeks to approach the sun, over 90,000,000 miles, yet possessing at starting all the velocity with which It bad arrived; but in four days that tail, SO.OOO.OUO miles long. was thrown out from before It There was a fact thai showed we had to deal, as to a comet's tail, with matter not really formed, but in some way apparenLor else with a force incomparably greater than gravity.

This was the sun's repulsive force. Gravity led that comet over SO.OUO.OOO miles in four weeks, and it threw out its tail in four days. This was tha sun's first evidence of lu repulsive force, that the heat it was exposed to was 0 times greater than that endured by our earth. All material here, under such heat, would be vaporized. Newton assigned its path, leaving it to Dr.

Halley to discover Its period. Dr. Halley found bv consulting astronomical annals a comet in the year lGOi, another in 1431, and noticing that 1-ora 1607 to 16tt was nearly the same as from 1.J1 to 1607 about seventy-six years he boldly predicted that in 17A9 this comet would return, and March 13. it did return, but the prophet bad then passed away. There was one month's difference in the calculations of astronomers some said April 13, 17Js but as tbey did not then know of the existence of Uranus and Neptune, the error can be accounted for.

When 1835 came, I ran us bad been learned of, but Neptune was unknown, and the calculation was that the comet would return between Nov. 12 and 16, 1835. Rosenberg, a German, fixed the time at Nov. 13, but the exact day It approached nearest the sun was Nov. IX As it approached the sun it had a strange head, with a crescentric ridge of brightness.

It passed southward around the sun, when southern hemisphere astronomers found It had neither head nor tail, but was as a small bright speck or pellet, and was like a star, accept that it moved slowly over tbe heavens, and in seventeen days was seventy times in size. The Idea was here noticed that titers seemed to be sun power to raie vaporous matter from the comet's nucleus, again to be swept away, and Sir John Herschel claimed that matter so raised was also repelled. Tha lecturer gave the history of tbe small comet of 1770, which was found to be traveling In a long oval path, which waa completed in a period of five and a half yeara It waa never seen again. It was traced to Jupiter, from which It at first came. Then there waa the comet seen In liMS, that traveled the shortest period of any we know of only three yeara aud four months.

This comet Is traveling faster and faster on a smaller and Kamaller orbit, just as would the earth, if it were pulled toward the sun. Tbe comet of UJS was carefully watched, and it was found to have been seen before by Caroline Herschel, and a path assigned it, with a period of six years and eight months. It was remarkable because its path crossed the earth's path, and when it returned, in ina, astronomer made an announcement which many thought meant a collision, and so caused much alarm. In 1771 tickets purporting to be reserved seats in Paradise were offered for sale, and many actually bought them I In IMS the comet was found traveling on its usual path, and then it waa announced consisted of two parts, each having a distinct head ana nucleus. Captain Maury, at the Washington Observatoir.

noted it. but on the same night be ob served it eoubla The records of tha German Observatory showed it to be single, which may be accounted for by the greater clearness of tbe American atmosphere. Two separate eometa passed along side by side, and strangely intercnangea light, sometimes one and sometimes tne other being brighter Siamese twins, as it were. Tbey went into space, and never reappeared. The comet's path etusni1 1 the earth's, and there are other systems which also cross the earth's path, so that when 186S came and the comet aid not appear, it was snggesteo tnat 11 naa encountered meteor its tarns, and split up, and waa repeatedly split up, and thus vanished.

Again, in 1872 it was looked for, but failed to appear. DonaU'a comet, ot 1Mb, appeared. It was in England like a plume, but in America it bad not only a plume-shaped body but also a perfectly straight tall. Why should the tail be curved The poaf-ttoo of the tail is due to repulsive action, and if that takes lace Immediately, the tail will be swept into a straight ine, no mauer how placed, it will look straight; but if it takes place at a moderate rate, it will appear curved. The lecturer abowed a picture of a curved tail, wherein were seen the variety of streaks explained by the speaker.

There was a fact, and it seemed lo dispose of Tyndall's theory that a eomet's tail was not produced by repulsion. We owe to Professor Newton, of Yale College, these views as to ths formation and behavior of that comet's tail. Tbe bead was as a small, round object, like the comet of IMS. It grew, and in time lengthened out a tail. The tall divided behind ths bead, and in time all around the central bright part of the head matter wss raised, as Herschel found matter had been raised from alley's comet.

It was raised, then condensed, then formed an envelop By the understanding of the formation of rain clouds, we were led to explain the six-tailed comet of 114. This was really a three-tailed comet. An elaboration of Professor Proctor's reasons for calling it a three-tailed comet followed, and was highly interesting. Donati's comet was again alluded to, and Dr. Tyndall's theory examined, especially dwelling en the latter experiments, when the lecturer passed rapidly on to the connection of meteors and comets.

Pot a long time meteors were looked on as phenomena of our atmosphere, but facts since observed lead to a different conclusion. Meteors occur in showers on certain data. There is tbe shower of Nov. 13. Why should there be a shower then? Then the earth is passing a particular part of its course.

The earth revolving round the sun. when she reaches that part, Is saluted by certain missiles hich strike and are illuminated by passing its atmosphere. Their cause and coming were explained by illustration. Professor Newton, of Yale College, informed astronomers of the shower of 1S6A, that It would be seen in Euro) and America They travel their course in a third of a century. Aragn saw and described, as well as Humboldt, the shower of It is too immense to think that they travel on their course on a period of thirty-three years.

These objects, a few graius in weight, have been traveling on such a coure of thirty-three years, which would correspond to a course carrying them far away outside Uranus, and that seemed to Prof. Newton too grand, and showed that if they traveled a thirty-third part of the year the same conrva that ourselves would follow in another year they would be a thirty-third part behind, and the next year another thirty -third part behind, and the third year another ihirty-third part behind, and so on, until the end of thirty-three years they would be brought to their place again. The comet ot 1862 was noticed to pass the earth's orbit clotely corresponding to the course the August meteors came from, and Schisperelli said they might be associated with the comets, aud concluded they follow comets' train, aud by this it was possible to give November meteors the thirty-three year period. This being the case, astronomers looked for eometa in the paths of meteors The comet of ISO traveled In that very course, and another small comet was seen tourneying over the course assigned to these meteors. Professor Adams tried to show the November thirty-three-year meteor theory, and he was the first to demonstrate it.

One test only remained to show that eometa and meteors traveled tbe same track. That test waa to nrrd let that alter a comet had passed a certain point there would be a shower of meteors, and the predic tion counrmea. nis waa given ny oieia comet issa that vanished in 1866. and was looked tor in 1872. Alex ander Herschel predicted tha shower of Nov.

2B, ISTi, which cams from the loot of Andromeda Professor Mew-ton discovered that this earth encountered 400,000.000 meteors every year. There is every reason to believe that there is so great a gathering of cometary matter following these meteor tracks, that when we aee the sun in an eclipse, we should see a gathering there, as we do in tbe corona. The great expulsions from the sun might startle many, yet tha evidence supporting such a statement is curious, for. in the first place, we know how mat ter is shot out from the sun, with a velocity so great as to be carried far away and travel forever in space. This has been observed several times, and is doubtless frequent.

Matter thus expelled would strike the earth in the daytime, if it struck at all. Humboldt said that the largest number of meteoric masses fell in the daytime. Soroy. of Sheffield, has examined them, and affirms they consisted of small globules, and were originally in a vaporous state. Then tne late Professor Graham, of London, subjected them to a chemical test, and found in the iron of the meteoric masses more hydrogen than iron contains In a natural condition, and concluded that that meteor that iron had been expelled from stars that people space, and showed what stars contained hydrogen in their atmosphere.

All corneal of short periods have paths coming close to some of those of the larger planets. Jupiter, as the poet Homer saya, waa indeed the ''cloud-compeller;" and hlr John Herschel thought it curious that meteors sought the larger planeta Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus, as they go on their paths, draw in the eometa near them and cap rare them. If comets are expelled from a planet they will be carried along with a forward motion. If any go backward, the theory above given would lack evidence. All of Jupiter's comet family travel forward, all have a moderate slope from the planet The lecture was illustrated by diagrams which had been taken from different points and by various persona, showing the surface, comets' tails, meteoric showers, all of which were highly interesting, and were examined closely.

Professor Proctor announced his next lecture would be delivered on Friday evening, on The Bun'a Family of Planeta." THE BOOTMAKERS. Tn LatSrwt BesjmreUaug sMsake bubsI Erl At the Crisping' headquarters yesterday morning- an Ixtxb-Ocxas reporter was assured that tbe men were holding out firmly as ever. The men," said a Crispin who acted as Spokesman, "don't feel worried about the resumption of work at Henderson's. The men who hart gone to work there are employed only on stoga work. All their best workmen are still with us." Proceedtng to C.

MY Henderson corner of Franklin and Madison streets, in quest of information as to bow many of the striken had returned to work (as the statement received at Crispin bead- Snarten implied) the- reporter asked Mr. C. M. Hen-erson, tke need of that firm, for the facts npon the subject, and was rewarded with the reply that the firm was getting: along so well with what men they had that he didn't know anything about who bad Kne to work and who hadn't. In fact, as they were ring no trouble whatever because of lack of help, he didn't know whether any workmen had come back, as the Crispins had stated, or not." Indeed, Mr.

Henderson seemed In a state of happy ignorance as to the condition of his own business, except that it was all right, and no information was got out of him. At O. B. Webber at the striken who quit on Monday, resumed work yesterdar morning. Mr.

Webber states that they say they were waited npon by a committee of the Crispins on Sunday, who took them to tne society neaaquaners, ana promised them 3 week to quit. The men. who are all Bohemians, lay tbey were afraid, to go to work next day; but they I concluded the Crisping had hot the funds wherewith to pay the $5 a week, and so came back. Mr. Webber says bis firm has now enough men to do all their work for the spring and summer trade and will go on regardless of tne strike.

With regard to getting work from tbe East, Mr. Webber particularly desires it to be stated that this firm does not get tfastern work for tale as Chicago made stock, nor do they contemplate so doing.
