-8 ocher, Cannon, Woodman, Corcoran.
Tho Acting Mayor stated that tho Assessor could gst
bts books on Monday, but if ho did, then tho Tax Com
missioner matter would have to drop. It was there*
foro proposed to extend tho time a little. The Asses.
«or could use tho time, and In tho meanwhile they
could discuss tho question whether they would have a
Commissioner, , „ ..
Aid. McOcnnlss offered a resolution extending tho
time for making the assessment to Wednesday, Oct. 0.
Aid. McGrath saw no reason for extending tho time
merely to keep a man In office. If the assessment was
complete ho behoved tho Council had no power. Ho
moved to postpone tho consideration of tho resolution
till Monday. Nor was a Tax Commissioner needed.
Tho City Clerk could do the work.
Aid. Dixon said the asacsßinbnt was not yet com
pleted. That of hanks and personal properly was not
done. If tho hooka wore handed in Monday, tho Clork
would have to run around and soo tho banks.
Aid. McGrath said If tbo assessment was not com
pletej the Council could extend the time 5 If It was, it
Tho Mayor said 20,000 notices had boon Bent out,
and only 4,000 returned, leaving 10.000 to bo guessed
at. Still, If there wore no continuance, tho books
would bo turned over Monday, before tho Council
m Aj*d. Dixon also slated half tho books wore made out
In pencil, and they would have to bo copied la Ink,
Aid. McGrath withdrew hla motion, and tho resolu
tion was adopted. . . . . _ _ _
The ordinance for tho appointment of a Tax Com
missioner was taken up.
Aid. Woodman moved to amend by striking put tho
provision providing for electing tho Tax Commissioner
tm the first Monday in July, and substituting the first
Monday lu December, since July was tho busiest sea
ion of tho year, and on Improper time to mako a
lhango.
Tho point was raised that tho motion was not In or
ler, tho ordinance being engrossed.
The point was overruled. ... , _
Aid. Quirk opposed tho amendment, since in Do
tcraber there was a general scramble in tho Council
for city offices, and tho result would bo constant trad
ing. Every December, too, they had nearly twenty
now memlwrs of the Council.
Tho amendment was lost—yeas, 11, nays, ifi—as
f McGonnlss, Sldwell, Stone, Bond.

Aid. Dixon moved tho ordinance bo postponed till
tho next regular mooting, in view of the slim attend
ance, and intimated that the Mayor would veto It if
passed as it stood.
Tho Chair observed that it was an Improper thing to
state what tho Choir would or would not do.
Tbo motion to postpone was lost—yeas, 0; nays, 18,

Those voting lu tho negative were Dixon, McGcn-
Dlso, Sldwell, Stone, Bond, Heath, Miner, Moore, and
Cleveland.
The Council then adjourned.
PRETENDERS.
From Satan In tho Guiso of a Snalco
JO own to Itogrus Constable*.
Since Adam's birthday tho world has been puzzled
with pretenders. Satan, who, under tho guise of a ser
pent, provided tho world with a first-claas snake story,
and trouble that has lasted over since, was the first of
the class. Later, one Jacob assumed tho rolo, and
played very false with his father and brother. An
cient times give us many examples of tho dan
gerous class, and tho history of modern days is
rife with their evil doings. At homo wo are not free
from tho deceptive community. In our midst are pro
tenders by tho myriad. Ono old man living very near
tho corner of Fifth avenue and Washington street
spends tho best hours of his waning days In trying to
Impose on hla incredulous fellow-citizens that bets
running a newspaper; another living right across tho
road from him is gulling folks with a declaration that
be la going this fall to perform tho ocrobatlo feat
of rolling Into tho Mayoralty on top of a boor barrel:
another that ho understands how to take caro of school
taxes better than anyone else. And so on to tho cud
of a very long and profitless chapter. Tho peculiar
class of pretenders which are causing a muss Just now
aro tho bogus Constables. Thoro are fifteen of
them, and tho duly-appointed, who find their
natural dues illegally shored by tho pretenders,
bavo mado quite a stir lately In the matter, tho thing
ovon reaching tho august cars of tho County Commis
sioners, who last Thursday declared that tho pro
lenders should bo dealt with according to law. En
couraged by this action, tho bona fldo thousand-dollar
bond Constables colled a meeting to bo held on Satur
day evening ottboolficoof Justice Baines. Whether
or not tho recent failures in Now York have pro
duced a panto among tho fraternity, tho meeting last
night was very poorly attended, only four of tho tight
buttoned, knob-sllckcd gentry filing an appearance,
and consequently the meeting hod to adjourn without
any action being taken. It seems strange that, after
making such a stir In the matter, the Constables should
show such unlooked-for apathy. A meeting was do
elded upon by thoso present, to bo held in ono week,
when a quorum will probably bo obtained.

Officer John Zclgler found tho body of an unknown
man In tbo lake, at tho foot of Cedar street, yesterday
at noon. The Coroner was notified, and being some
what engaged on political matters with the Recorder
of tbo county, his deputy, Mr. Pilgrim, hold the In
quest. There were no marks of violence upon tbo
body. It was apparently that of a Swede. Tbo
Coroner’s jury rendered a verdict of “Found
drowned.”
Yesterday afternoon, about 8 o’clock, there was great
excitement at the County Jail, It was learned that
some of tlio Jail-keepers had hoard a sound like (hat of
a saw being drawn across tho bars. Bo a search was
instituted. Mr. Foltz and hla assistants took candles
and old kulvcs, and examined every bar and every cell
In tho place, but wore unsuccessful in detecting tbo
effects of a saw, or the saw itself. It is probable there
was no saw la operation.
Tho fools are not all dead. Thursday ono arrived In
town from Grand Rapids, Mich., and felt happy in tho
60880681011 of 0 now gold watch and $432 In money.
0 was quickly picked up by Tom Daniels, and In a
abort space of time was bunkoed out of his money and
watch. Ho was going for tho police when alike Mc-
Donald Interviewed him, and told him ho would make
nothing by it, and, to prove Ills assertion, showed him
tho records of bunko victims before Banyon, Tho
Michigander looked with dismay on tho list and saw
nothing hnt “Dismissed on payment of costs.” Just
thou Daniels happened to come along and settled with
hla victim by returning tho watch and SBO.
Morris Martin, who was found In Mlko McDonald’s

gang, who were discovered at the table and
who did not oven protend they wore not
gambling, wore let off by tho same unpreju
diced, upright Judge for $5 each, with
tbo exception of Robbins, who got $lO. What kind of
encouragement is this for honest, efficient officers like
Copt, Buckley to do their duty 7 This Is tho most
flagrant exhibition of left-handed Justice wo
have had lu many a day. It eclipses anything
that Banyon has previously done. It Is a disgrace
to the city that such a man should occupy tho position
he does. It should bo borne In mind that this was not
a cose whore there Is nothing but circumstantial evi
dence, but they wore all caught in tho very act of
gambling, and should have boon punished to tho extent
of tho law.
Ono of tho happiest social picnics of tho summer,
late though It he, was that given yesterday by tho
young People’s Association of Plymouth (Congrega
tional) Church, In tho beautiful groves aud grounds at
Riverside. There wore present about twenty-five
couples, who devoted tbo day to innocent pleasures
and amusements, cultivating such happy friendship as
to make tho occasion ono to bo long pleasantly remem
bered. After tho excellent repast prepared by tho
thoughtful consideration of tho young ladles, tho mer
ry couples joined in tho dance to tho inspiring notes
from W. W. Pond’s string band. Croquet and other
games wore Indulged In, and mirth reigned unalloyed.
The whole party extended their thanks to tbo gcutlc
mcn of tho Committee, who had arranged and carried
to such a happy consummation tho social picnic, Messrs.
Charles Wothcroll, A. D. Wilmarlh, and Alexander
Agnow.

Little children and grown up persons often wonder
what on oarth people bury newspapers and things In
tin boxes for when they erect a church. A startling
rebuke to this levity comes lu tho discovery mado by
Mr T. W. Wright, who has purchased tho ruins of tho
old Second Presbyterian Church, corner of Wabash
avonuo and Washington street, tho pctroloum-stouo
building which stood tho flro so well, aud which has
provoked so many libellous statements by uninformed
persons that tho whole city was constructed of this
highly Inflammable material. In tearing down tho ed
ifice to make room for an hotel on Its site, tho corner
stone camo to light, and In It was found tho Inevita
ble tin box with Its papers. Tho latter were so satu
rated with water as scarcely to bo legible,
but faithful labor discovered them to bo the following;

happiest results, Tho superior talent and executive
ability of tho Professor are held in high estimation,

fessors and instructors, with Miss Francos E, Willard

Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church has already agreed
to furnish one parlor. .......
The Biblical Institute Is still In an unsettled state In
regard to enrollment, on account of tho absence of
many members at Conference, This department has
a faculty of six professors. The Indications are that

dents.

Tlio Council Committee on Public Buildings mot
yesterday. Present, Aid, llcatb, McOcnnlss, and
Bailey. Aid. Ogdon sent In several recommendations
bearing bis signature, but did not appear in person.
Tbo Committee agreed to recommend that Aid. Quirk’s
resolution, to Invito tbo architects of the piano named
“Avaull,” “ Chicago's Pride,” and “I. U. 8. V.” to
appear before tho Oouucll to explain their plans, bo

Tho claim of Doyle & Johnson, plasterers, for $3,000,
for work done on tho old Court-House, before tho Are,
having been examined with other testimony, the Com
mittee agreed to report that there was nothing duo tho
claimants, but that, on tho contrary, they had been
paid s2,ooomore than they wore entitled to.
Tho adoption of Aid. McGrath’s resolution to have
tbo city port of tho Court-House built according to tho
plans and spoclOcalloas of Otto 11. Mntz, and to om
iloy him to superintend tho erection of tho same, with
ho usual percentage, provided that tho county Com
missioners nlioiUd agree to build tho County portion
by tho same plans, specifications, and superintendence,
was recommended by Aid. Ogdon alone.
A communication from one George It, Norton, rela
tive to tho Court-House plans, woa recommended to
bo placed on file, Mr. Norton stated in his communi
cation that “at a time when ho needed his time and
money as bo needed tho blood in hla veins,” ho nobly
came a long distance homo to help elect tho present
City Government, and ho, therefore, under tho sense
of a great obligation, consented to draw up plans and
present them to tho Council. Awild document of
several pages of legal cap follows; but life is too
short to road such things, and the public is spared tho
infliction of them. ....

for certain bulletin-boards for tho Police Department,
woa recommended to bo placed on flic, Supt. Washburn
having explained in a nolo that they were poorly made
and exorbitantly charged for.
Givo tho Boys a Ohanoo.
Nothing pays bolter than education ; but a parent
should not look upon it in light of being a paying in
vestment. It iff the parent’s duty to giro hla son an
opportunity to proporo himself to compote successfully
with other boys. Tho Bryant ft Stratton Chicago
Business College is ono of the best places wo know of
to put a boy. Tho discipline is pretty rigid, hut none
too much so for tho good of the boy. Tho discipline
may bo said to bo nearly tho opposite of what it used to
bo, and tho opposite of what nearly all other business
schools now have. Tho old scholarship plan is douo
away with. Students can now enter for a short or long
time and pay accordingly.
Exposition Opening.
Tho Atlantic Hotel, corner of Van Buron and Sher
man streets, opposite tho Lake Shore and tho Chicago,
Rock Island & Paciflco Railroad Depot, centrally lo

Fashionable Furniture.
Those who are In search of furniture for Immediate

furniture at No. 213 Wobash avenue, where A. L. Llob
custeln & Co. are selling out tho entire stock of H.
Llcbonsloln ft Co. at pricofl far below cost. Tho bal
ance of tho stock consists of parlor and chamber sots,
lounges, easy chairs, rockers, book-cases, secretaries,
