Hiiuwuud they did not arrive In Chicago till in

they did not wish to be seen taking their friend
through tho streets In the day time, so they hur
ried to the Home and aroused tbo Inmates bv
ringing tho bell at il o'clock In the morning.
They expiahmd the object of their untimely
visit, staled that they hud heard of tbo fame ot
tho Institution, and that they wanted their
friend tu receive iisbeiiuilts. So they lull tho
Indiana Judge us un Inmate ut tho Institution,
where be has been over since.

RELIGIOUS.
THE lIAPTIBTB.
The conference of Baptist ministers assembled
as usual ut the Grand Pacillo Hotel yesterday
forenoon.
Tho Dev. H. D. Waterman gave n graphic and
Interesting description of u thirty-days' trip
through tbo Holy Land several years ago. With
tbo aid of a large map, lie pointed out tbo routo
taken by blm in his Journey. Nearly all tbo
places distinguished in Biblical history were de
scribed In detail. Tho reverend gentleman said
ho did not believe In n tenth part of tho stories
that alleged that modern towns wore on tbo sites
made memorable by events that leek place In
the time of Christ, especially those taught by
tho Catholic Church. The only satisfactory thing
about tho country was Its topography, which cor
responded exactly with that described in tho
Bible. Of course there were many places which
were no doubt the scones of events In ttio
Savior's 1110. Ho believed that lie stood on the
plains of Bethlehem on which the shepherds
stood on tho night of Christ's birth. Uo also
thought thoro was positive proof that the place
of Christ's nativity was In a cave ut Uethlciiem,
over which u church was built In tho third cent
ury, and tho present cdlllcu is known to be
a thousand years old. in the town of Nazareth
strangers are shown tho workshop In which
Joseph labored. Tho kitchen In which Mary
performed her household duties is said to have
been transported one night by angels tu Italy.
This story he did nut vouch for. Descriptions
were also given of tho people and customs of tbo
country, us well as its productions. In reply to
questions, Mr. Waterman said tho expense of
board and travel Ir. Palestine was 9- r » a day lor
each person, unless there was a large party
traveling together.
TUB CHICAGO I’UBBDYTEinr
held aiuidjourned meeting yesterday morning
In tho rouuis In McCormick Block. Thu Moder
ator, tho Key. James Muclnughlun, presided.
Thu object of tho meeting was to consider the
questions Involved in the First Herman Church.
Thu Committee appointed for tho purpose re
ported that, lu their opinion, if tho pastor, tho
Itov. B. A. Klfoll, could nut postpone his de
elslon fern lunger time, he be granted leave to
retire from the church. Mr. Hlfuli was present,
and stated that he must decide us to bis future
course utonee. Thu report of tho Committee
was accepted, the pastoral relations dissolved,
and Mr. Bifell grunted n letter of dismissal to
the Presbytery of Fort Dodge, la. Dr. Bllluit
will preach lit tho German Church next Sunday
and possibly for sumo time. Thu Presbytery
(ban adjourned.
Th« ministers' meeting was thou convened,
and a long session devoted to listening to a long
paper read by Dr. Patterson on Chancellor Cros
by s temperance views. The Doctor fbok the
ground that Dr. Crosby bud stepped beyond tho
coniines of his hitherto excellent reputation,
mid not only fallen into error, but been guilty or
slander lu declaring that certain eminent ami
philanthropic men had •• twisted tho Scripture "
to make It condemn any sort of drlnklug. Tho
paper held that Dr. Crosby's claims wero un
tenable, and that his arguments disproved them
selves, for when be held (hut drinking should bo
indulged lu moderation so ns tu strengthen tho
mural character to withstand temptation,
ho might as well proclaim that ob
scene literature should bo universally cir
culated, so that people might rend
it and learn to restrain their pendulous desires.'
Drinking was simply n species ut self-indul
gence, and to say that It should he allowed In
moderation was equivalent tu saying that (he
taking of opium or arsenic in small quantities
was not injurious but strengthening tu the
moral character. Dr. Crosby's denial that mod
erate drinking leads to intemperance was Illog
ical, Inasmuch us It was sure that men only
passed to Inebriety through the stage uf moder
ate drinking. Advocates of tutal abstinence
did nut claim that all moderate drinkers become
drunkards, but that the Indulgence of Uio appe
tite Involves a persistent luclmuUon toward un
increase of (but appetite; lu other words, that
mu tendency of so-called temperate drlnklug Is
tuwurd intemperate drinking.
Discussion was postponed until next week.
THE METHODIST*.
Tbo regular weekly meeting of tbo Methodist

THIS COUNTY BOARD.
ARMSTItONG WANTS BUXTON INVESTIGATED.
The Ilonnl of County Commissioners met yea*
tordav afternoon. All tho members were pres*
cut. The customary Incidental business having
been transacted, a communication was road
from Mr.M. Armstrong suggest lug an Inves
tigation Into all tho contracts entered into be
tween tho county and I*. J. Sexton. It was in
timated that the contractor had not compiled
with tho terms of tho contract. U was stated
that P. .1. Hoxton hail received sl2 per 1,000 for
0,000,000 extra quality brick, a largo portion
nt which, owing to certain changes, had not
been put In tno building; that ho had been
paid $3 per 1,000 on H.UWI.un) sower-brick which
had not boon supplied, and had been paid (P.i.000
for work on thu dome in excess of tlio value of
tho work. According to tint communication,
Sexton had received some s££l,ooo more than ho
ought to have been paid.
Mr. Clark believed it would bo beneath tho
dignitytif the Hoard to listen to suchn commu
nication as this. It was merely tho cry of u med
dler. 110 moved (lint It be placed on tile.
A vote was taken. Thu motion was carried
by a vote of II to 3, Messrs. Knopf, Scnnc, and
O Neill voting against (ho motion.
P. .1. Sexton sent In nn estimate for carpentry
work on tho new Court-House amounting to.
17.W9. Sent to the Public buildings Committee.
According to tho
QUARTERLY REPORT OP WARDEN PETERS,
which was referred without reading, thu aggre
gate cost of running tho Poor-House mid Insane
Asylum for the past three months was £3j,UBU.
about ittfi cents per day for each inmate. On
Feb. 38 there were 4W patients In tho nsylnm
and Ills Inmates in tho Poor-House.
After passing upon a number of bills and
communications ot nn unimportant character,
tho Hoard heard a report of tbo Judiciary Com
mittee favoring tho discharge of the bondsmen
of tho late James Stewart on their paying tbo
costs of tbo ease against them. This Commit
tee also returned, wltbout recommendation, tho
(wo resolutions recently referred to It touching
tbo Senate bill providing fur the sale of the
Lake-Front. The report was adopted.
Owing to tho alleged dilllculty In obtaining (ho
? lass called Turin his cent rnct,Tom Nelson rceont
y sent in a preposition to substitute American
plate-ghiss for the sheet-glass hi the doors and
transoms of tho now Court-House. ThoPubllu
Hulldtngs Committee recommended that the
E reposition be placed on tile and tbo contractor
e directed to proceed uuder tho speclUcatlons
of tho contract.
This subject Ims proved n fruitful matter for
discussion frequently, and the Commissioners
plunged in. It was anally agreed to recommit
tbe report.
The Hoard adjourned until Saturday after*
noun, after iho adoption of a resolution prohibit*
ing the collection of toll upon the Wheeling
branch of Snell’s toll-road.
A PERFECT JAM.
THK STREET lILOCKADKS
have never before in tbo history of Chicago
been so troublesome and caused such and so
frequent delays to Intramural travel us during
the present season. Tbo great piles of snow
that line tbo slues ot tbo streets have diminished
tho width of tho roadways so that teams cannot
turn out to qvold one another, nnd any Inter
ruption In tho'wny of a breakdown or entangle
ment at Intersections causes a halt in tbo long
lines of vehicles and renders provoking nnd In
some eases damaging delays to street-car travel,
to persons In toggles nnd carriages, and to
tbo merchants nnd tradesmen who have goods
to deliver or to rcech'e. This embargo to street
travel has been more or less serious since tbo
recent heavy snowfalls, but tbo blockades of
yesterday were tbo worst thus far.
During tbo forenoon the vehicles became en
tangled at tbo youth Water and Clark street
crossings, and at Handolpb and Clark streets,
mid tbo result of it nos tha'. tho teams could
not move on any of tboso thoroughfares. Street
cars were detained so long—in sumo Instances
half an hour—that tho passengers bound dpwu
liunlly got out mid walked the rest of the dis
tance to their destinations. Tho blockades havo
been particularly bud un Madison streot from
Franklin to Wabash avenue. During all of Inst
week tbo embargoes occurred on all tho
principal business thoroughfares, with - tho
exception nf Stale street, which Is so wido that
vehicles can turn out and give ample room fur
others to puss. Tho two stalwart policemen nt
tho Madison street and Fifth avenue crossing
have all they can attend to to regulate tho
drivers of vehicles and enable pedestrians to get’
over tho crossings. At Clark nnd Madison streets,
at State and Madison, at Washington and Clark,
and at Umtdolpb mid Clark streets tbo Jams weru
very bad yesterday. At tbo latter crossing four
potlcqmcn woru on duty.
The mingled slush of dirt, snow, nnd ice, tbo
boles tilled with water, etc., make street travel
very bad In Chicago at present and prescnt’hn
unsightly view. Everybody is wishing that tho
lung winter was over and tbo woaihor would do
what a careless city administration will never
do,—clean tbo streets and render them passable.
UNION VETERANS, .
THEY WILL INDORSE NO CANDIDATE YOU MAYOR.
A regular meeting of the Union Vole-run Club

That In tbo opinion of your Committee it Is
not a proper or prolltoblo thing fur this Club to

those ot, another, neither being a member of

Convention; but that it is tho duty of the In

lUltimour, Md., March 14.—A report Is cur
rent hero to-night that tbo Ualtimoro Sc Ohio
Itallroad Company will positively build n new
road to Philadelphia, and establish an opposition
line to tho Pennsylvania Hoad. Tho report is
verified by a prominent official In tbo Baltimore
& Ohio Company, who Intimated that tbo work
of building tho now road will probably bo com
menced In a few months. Eucbored out of tbo
Philadelphia, Wilmington St Baltimore Hoad, tbo
Baltimore & Ohio people will now build and op
erate exclusively n lino of tbolr own. The
charter granted by tho Delaware
Legislature recently to tho Delaware West
ern Bead, which tbo Baltimore & Ohio
people (hen lavnred, but afterwards unluckily
rejected, has, it is understood, been purchased
by the Baltimore & Ohio Company 10-duy. A
dispatch Just received from Wilmington, Del.,
states that Col. MeUumb, of tho Delaware West
ern Hoad, and tho Baltimore Sc Ohio representa
tives have signed papers of agreement this
morning. Thu supposition is that tho Baltimore
A Ohio secures possession of the Delaware
Western charter by pledging to build tbo road
and pay a certain amount per share for all tbo
stock of the Delaware Western Hoad. Col. Me-
Couth controls tho majority of tho stock, and
thus conducts tho negotiations with the Balti
more & Ohio people. Several leading Baltimore
A Ohio officials have been in Wilmington to-day
making arrangements for tbo purchase.
GROWING WORSE,
General Superintendent K. T. Jeffery, of tho
Illinois Central, telegraphed from Fort Dodge,
In., yesterday morning that another very sovero
storm ot wind and snow Inul set In there, and
that tho snow-shovelcre, about GOO in number,
who bad been sot to work on tho luwn Division
had all been suspended from further labor until
such a time as tho storm should cease. This
means tbat tho blockade of last Friday and Bat*
urdny Is worse than ever, although it was ex
peeled Saturday night, tho weather being in u
promising condtlon, that the blockade would bo
raised by about yesterday. No trains, of course,
are running on tho lowa Division, and freight
for tho Northwest Is still being refused by tho
Company. It is needless to observe that tbo
Illinois Central people wero feeling despondent.
Tho lowa Division ot tho Northwestern Hoad
also caught tho now storm, which had reached
this way us fur us Marshalltown, at 4 o’clock In
tho afternoon. Tbo Northwestern train duo
here at!!:15 o'clock yesterday afternoon from
Council Hluffs was llvu hours buo. No trains
wero suspended, however.
Thu Milwaukee & at. Paul Road received a
fresh blockade from Cedar Rapids to a long

tho advance-guard of a colony of Uut) will luavu

twenty-live families will follow thorn from Ht.

A FUEIOIIT BLOCKADE.
Owing to tho long-contluucd blockadeon roads
loading to the Northwest tho accumulation of
freight in tho Chicago depots Is enormous. The
freight depot of tho Chicago & Northwestern
ItmulJ particularly is crowded to an extent be
fore unheard of. Borne of tbo freight bus been
lying there for weeks awaiting transportation,
and that which is now being hauled
there by Chicago shippers is bandied
with tho greatest dillleutcy and loss of
time. Every day can ho seen there a long line
of teams with loads of merchandise ordered
from Chicago dealers by their customers of tho
Northwest, and these teams collect about tho
depot in such numbers as tc utmost entirely
blockade outside tralllo. They cau bo counted
by tbo hundred, and tho load that gets to tbo
depot, or near it, lute in tho day has to remain
on tho wagon for hours. The Illinois Central
stopped receiving norihwosi-bimnd freight last
Saturday morning, arguing that It was bettor to
let it remain witn tho dealers than to lie In a
freight depot or on snow-bound ears. A hitter
wall comes down from tho storekeepers and
.merchants of tho Northwest at tho delay they
meet with la having orders lliiod.'

tho United Males Supreme Court should say
that It would havo to lie lived up to, tho Illinois
roads would havo to suspend. Tho rates allowed
in tho bill would reduco tho revenue of tho

wltb any profit then.”
The published reports of tbo accident on tbo
Haltlmoro it Ohio Hoad at Hdgomoro Station,
Iml., night before last seem to bo incorrect, ac
cording to tho telegraphic repot t received yes
terday nt tho Chicago unices of tho Company.
This report said Unit tbo accident was due to too
fog. Ono frolght-trnln had run Into another
train mndo up of freight-cars, a caboose, and a
coach. Tho caboose, two freight-cars, and tbo
coach bod been burned, but nobody wits injured.
It Is understood that u company has been
formed fur tbo construction of u road from St.
Louis to Humboldt. Has., by tbo way Port
Scott, a distance of about iIOO miles. This
would shorten tho trip from St. Louis to Fort
Scotland Humboldt about UN) miles, as those
cities arc nt present reached only by n very
roundabout way via tbo Missouri Paclllc, and
would open up a railway communication with a
vast territory In Southwestern Missouri that is
at present without any.

to bo bold this week, ns Mr. Bnrgcnt
positively declines to remain longer hi tbo serv

this course are withhold fur tho present. Bor
neo It to say that bo b»s business interests
which demand Ids attention. It Is understood
that bo does not retire permanently from rail
road business, nor bus be loft on account of tbo
consolidation of tbo Northern Ihielllo mid tbo
Oregon Navigation Company. It might per
haps bo understood to bo a division
of authority. Tno gentleman interviewed
said ho did not know who would bo Mr. Bargain's
successor. Ho know nothing of tbo operations
of tho syndicate except whut had come through
tbo press. It would bo for tbo interest of both
properties—tbo Northern I’ucHle and tho Oregon

ployed. Every piece of mechanism, every rod,
bolt, screw, lever, spring, tire, cock, pipe, and
Iminpare on tbeso locomotives. Tbo bollor
uckets, rods, and drivers are nickel-plated, and
some of tbo bright work is silver-plated. Tbo
cabs are of solid walnut, and tbo ' bailors
proper and tbo Uro-boxcs are of
wrought . slcol. Tbo tenders ore of
copper, and tbolr water supply la taken
by scoops from vats on tbo roadway while the
locomotives aru In motion. The locomotives are
about four feet In length. Including tbo tender,
and are models of beauty. They are of English
design, so far as high driving-wheels are con
cerned: otherwise, tuoy nre advanced,American
mechanical Ideas, and have many original ap
pliances of Mr. Coleman's invention. Tbo loco
motives arc tired up and sot In motion. Around,
tbo trucks tboy go, while tbo millionaire owner
watches tbo movements of tbo mlmntnro
machinery. Hours are thus passed: nil sorts of
experiments aru tried; high speed and low speed
nre compared to determinu tbo comparative
effect of friction. To develop bis railway Ideas,
Mr. Coleman has determined to build and equip
it road extending from tbo CurnwnllesUio tutbo
Pennsylvania llaiiroad, a distance of about
twenty miles. In all probability tbls road, fur
its size, will bo one of tbo best equipped in tbo
country. It will carry tbo iron from tbo Corn
wall furnaces lo market over a shorter route
than Is now In uso.
