McDowell baa at last received per rotation from Supervising Architect Hill to go •head with hit sewetaee reform* m accordance with the plan* submitted or the General to the Department aotoa three or four week* ago. The work will be commenced immediate!/, and will probably be finished in the course of six weeks or so. To ahow the beautr of the otd plant and the •kill of the genius who cunatrncted tuetu It may ne staled, In brief, that the nuwn pipes |n the build ing were to be considerably lamer than the lateral pipe* connecting with the atreet sewer*, the result of carrying out whlco would, of course, bo to crowd more waste matter Into the down pipes than the lateral pipoa could carry on without ■ dancer of becoming clogged. In addition to that, the sewerage anient was so complicated aa to be practically useless, the many curved pipes rendering it Impossible In case of local stoppage to clear them out and remove the Destructions. The new plans obviate all this. The lateral pipes connecting with the street are to be larger Ilian the pipes running down the building, and will therefore carry oil all they will ho required to 00. The plan. In brief, provides fur a mam two* foot sewer, to be laid Just above the concrete in the foundation. In each line there will be eeven cstcn-besins with mau-hok-s. The branches enter tne main sewer at the catch-basins, and allotner branches will have esteb-basin* at their Junction. There wIU be no traps In the main sewer, which will be ventilated from the tnauboiea by vilnfled pipe passing up through an alr-atiHft to the top abaft above the building. All aewere will be laid In u straight line between the catch* basins. The plans have also received the Indorsement of several leading Chicago architects and sewer*builders, who regard them us elective In every respect. (Jon. McDowell has also received authority to erect a temporary root above the second-story whmow over the *ky*Jlghl centre. Tne contract lor the •Uy-llgbl has been let. aud It will soon be In order to put It in. To do this.

They bad come Into existence to supply a want, and pre sented marked characteristics. . They were not ox* pensive, they did nut ux the physical energies of toeir members, and their aristocracy was of the mind and not the pockot*buok. Mrs. McMahan then saro the Isdies some excellent advice, saying, among, otber things, that they should lake pains to post themselves on sab* Jects of public interest and the questions of the day.

In place of It, Mrs. Hill, of Chicago, gave some facts regarding tne manner In which the Industrial Hcnools connected with the Home for the Friendless, of this city, are conducted. The first speaker in tne evening was UllS. UK. WaitUNßli. OF 041110, who made an appeal m behalf of the Industrial School. She recounted the history of (bo institu tion during the year winch it had been established, and thought no one could gainsay that It had been a success. Hut It wu still weak, so far as finances were concerned, and should ho aided by every man and woman In the Slate. Ha ooject, the reclama tion of friendless and destitute girls from me horrible life which surely awaited them when they attained womanhood, wu ccr- Uiulyooe In which every citlreu, ami especially fathers und mothers, were deeply interested.

The Commute* on Buildings and (Ironmls recommended that work be proceeded with Immediately noon the proposed new school-building at the corner of Wabash avenue nnd Rda street, and that Mr. Bauer lx encaged aa the archUerL Concurred in. Mr. English, from the Committee on School* Fnnd Property, reported that the Committee bad Jnat held a protracted meeting about the matter of the Knmslcr lease, tint the Committee had post poned definite action for the present. In hopes that they would ho able to erect a lino building of their own upon the lot by next May. Mr. Keith, from the Finance Committee, re* ported in f.iror of asking the City Comptroller to draw enough from the surplus of 1870 ro pay the Janitors, etc., their wages for the mootlrofSep* tember in cash. Concurred In. SALARIES. Mr. Bartlett, of the committee on Salaries, re* ported in favor of paying the teachers for (he month of September one-naif In city scrip and the balance in cash. The report was adopted.

Superintendent Doty, being called npon. stated that evening schools would be opened Monday In the buildings In which evening schools bad hereto* fore been held. GERMAN. Mr. Pressing, from the Committee on German, reported to (avor of emoloytng a teacher of Ger* man for two hours a day In tne Calumet Avenue bcnool. Mr. Slone made a speech opposing the teaching of German In the public schools, lie said it cost abont $4 a pupil for this branch alone. When there wore hundreds of children In <ne city who were injuring Uiclr health in unwholesome school puddings. he thought ItVas a criminal waste of funds to teach this branch. The people of Calumet avenue were not craay to bare German taught, and where there were sixty-two Prussians, as sig nified by the petition presented, some of which be thought were forged, there were ten or twenty times as many Americans who opposed the idea. It was high time that this political trick was stopped. Mr. Pressing thought thalMr. Stone only wished to oppose the teaching of German every time the matter was brought up. Ur. Keith thought that it there was no other reason wny, the teaching of German should be sup* pressed, it should be borne in mind that the Treas ury was much depleted, and even a oundred dol lars was an Hum that should not bo thrown away. Mr. Jacobs opposed tnc adoption of tha report on general principles. German was not the only -lan* guago there was; there were several other* that bad quite as good a claim. Mr. btone said the matter had been put to a pop ular vote lu su Louts, where the language was taught in the best method known, and the vote was a very largo majority In favor of obolismng It. Mr. Pressing argued that lit Ohio there was very little additional expense in the teaching of Ger man. He thought that a business-man had great advantages If ho could speak the German language, and oue*ihlrd of tne population wore German speaking. Besides this, the German literature was very rich, whllo the Scandinavian literature could be out into a four-by-six nookcase. Mr. Kngilsb opposed the adoption of the report. Ho tnougnt Gemma hud no more right in the schools than Scandinavian or Irish. Mr. Hots thought that tbo fact mat there were alxty-two children who had petitioned to have German taught was sufficient reason for the Board to furnish a toucher. Mr. Unvilsh wished to amend the report so that Gorman should only tx taught In accordance with the old tales of the Board, which required the pe tition oflOO. Mr. stone opposed tbe sobetitntr. Tne substitute was put to a vote, and was carried Ka vole of u to 3, —Messrs. Jacobs. Pressing, and ankentbai voting In the negative. EVENING* SCHOOLS. Mr. Iloyno reported that, In accordance with ar rangement* maoo at the'iost meeting of the Board, (be following scnools would be opened for evening leaching for a period of ten weeks: Tbe Jones, Foster, Ward, KSEzle, Newberry, Wells, Sanga mon Street, and wammon buildings. Mr. English submitted tho resignation of S. 1L Peabody, teacher of pnystes in Hie South Division High School, which was accepted. The President reported that 51,270.02 had been subscribed by the several schools of the city for the yellow-fever sufferers. l£waa decided to send tne funds to tbo orphan asylums of Memphis and New Orleans. - ,i -■ The Board thou adjourned for one week. BUKGCaKIEB. RECENT DEPREDATIONS. Professional nlght-wofttfr* and burglars, It was supposed, had been scarctfcoff by the shooting of Bayard Taylor, as for segno days they let the city alone. But it appears (hit they merely turned their attention to the sufltiHJs, and, having worked all the towns to their fullfezVent, they appear to have returned with to working city stores and residences. Jl Hast Monday morning burglars drove op with a team and wagon to a plat form adjoining tho boot'&tfd shoo establishment of C. Hadetnacher, No. 140fl°llislstcd street. They obtained |ontranco by butting tbo slat of a rear blind, opening the blind*! Slid then with tbe blade of a plane prying off twdWlent window fasteners. They loaded into tha wfiVoA; about $260 worth of boots aod shoes, and wivi on lholr way unmo lested. ftJI Last Sunday noon bandars, in broad daylight and upon a street crowded oil day. succeeded in forcing entrance to lhsyj»ational Market, at tho corner of Sixteenth streei'Shd Wabash avenue, by prying off the lock of dl'Bfesemont door, cutting a bole in a pane ofi-u-glass. and with a hook lifting off a large bar of Iron that fastened a basement door. They helped themselves to about $125 worth of cigar* and aoout $75 worth of perfumeries and cs«eoo4*. The basement and the store above were thorpcably ransacked. Tuesday morning Datymr* visited tho residence of Louis Grossman. Nor—ll 2 Johnson street, within a stone’s lhrow-»of Lieut. Callaghan's station. Entrance was effected In the usual man ner. by cutting the nUndsfitnd then throwing off » window-fastener. About isl!s in cash, a gold watch and chain, end some ether Jowelrv were car ried off as oluadot. A batata of fine clothing was left behind. The residence of William B. Mason. Repub lican candidate for the I.Qglalaturo. 003 Fulton street, was entered bv burglars during (he small hours Tuesday morning,; nnd a valuable gold watch, a small sum of money, aim other articles were taken. The burglar* effected an entrance through the front windows and by the use of chloroform kept the occupants In a sound sleep until after their work was accomplished. Tbe aaroe night burglars called upon a hired man sleeping In s sisole on West Adams street, occu pied dv A. McLelsh. They gave the man a libera! dose of chloroform aod plundered tbe barn, also leading off a couple of burses. Mil week ah attempt was made to burglarise tbe residence of William Hansbrougb, 1154 Michigan avenue. In broad daylight the thlevce entered the basement by means of false keys, but were scared off before securing anr plunder. An attempt wa* also made to plunder tbe residence No. 437 Michi gan avenue, hut the endeavor was nut successful. CORRESPONDENCE. TUB RESERVED-SEAT SWINDLE. To the Editor of The Tribune, CmcAoo, Oct. 3. In your Issue of this date 1 notice a communication from a victim of the re sorred-asat swindle. The writer of this hae bad n little experience in thla lino, and Is doubtless one of the many other sufierer* from the some cause. It may be a bit of sroarioese to mark off the low priced seats shown on tbe plat as having been sold, but It seems aa if the firm of Root A Sou* ought to be above such contemptible tricks. On one occa sion the writer applied for a seat in a part of the house which contained low-priced seats, but was shown the plat with all the said seats checked off, and, furthermore, was told that all seats of that class were sold., Judge of bis astonishment on entering Hie hull to find less than ona-qaartsr of these idcnllral seats taken. On another occasion, while VutcbasiLg ticket*, an old gentleman from the country who stood beside tbe writer nt Hie ticket counter was swindled In iha same way, but tbe ■harp eyes of the old man delected a couple of septs not chocked, and questioned tho young mao in attendance concerning his correctness. The re ply of the yuuug gentleman of tbe Incipient moustacb was, “Didn’t I tell vou they were all ■uldr If you want tho scats 1 offered you. >sy so: fur 1 am going la Just two minutes." bhouid Messrs. Hoot a Sous doubt the truthfulness of the suove statement, all they have to do is to express tneir doubt, and the facts will be certified to under oath.

Cdicaqo, Oct. 3.—lnadvertently no doabt there I* an error in your edition of to-day on the City of Glasgow bank. which, aalwoa formerly connect* ed with that corporation, I would beg your kind permission to put right. Yon eay tbe lose will fall mainly on Ibe depositors. Tbe liabilities areetated at £lO, 000, 000, but tbe assets are not given. Tbe pald-npsiock amounts to £1.000,000. Of course you are awsre that there le no limited liability m connection with Scotch bantu. Hhacahuldera are liable ••conjunctlyand severally,"—each one for himself and for all tbe others. ■ Amongst Cheshire holders cl tbe bankrupt bank are several of tbe merchant princes d Scotland and many others of large means. Now. therefore, as a set c(Z to the £10,000,000 of llabltl lies there are U) the paid op stock of £1,000.000; cJ) the general aa*vis of the bank, which must be of great value. Including as they do nearly all the bank buildings of Its numerous branches; and (UMho unlimited responsibility of many wealthy stockholders. The outcome un questionably will be, that tbs depositors will re ceive payment to tbe last penny of their claims. This idea of paying depositors in full may appear strange to people tu Chicago .accustomed tu the vary dltfervnl system exhibited in the cotes of the hut* bavins* Hank, lb* Fidelity, the uce-illve, etc., etc.; but it must be kept tu view that Scotland and Coicago dlifer very mucu In their v<uu-is of tn« aacrednesa of obligation*, and also In Cie method of enforcing their fulfillment.

The Committee on Assessment of Railroad Property reported that they had carefully examined the schedules and statements lur* nished by the railroads of tbo State to the Auditor of Public Accounts, and had endeav ored to assess at a just and equitable value the property of railroads denominated by law "rail road track and rolling stock,’ 1 nnd, in order to equalise the same with the other assessed prop erty of the State, had made tbe assessment at BO per cent of the cash value thereof. The Committee found that a fair and equitable assessment of the tangible property of the fore going railroads leaves nothing to bo assessed os capital stock. Following is tbe report t .
