An Unfortunate Tragedy,

CHICAGO, October 21-An unfortunate
tragedy occurred about midnight at the
Chicago University, on Cottage Grow
Avenue, resulting in the almost instantane-
GUS death of Mr. Thomas W. Grosvenor,
City Prosecuting Attorney.
Mr. Grosvenor was passing along the
street, probably somewhat under the in
fiuencc of liquor, when he was challenged
by University patrol. By the name Of
Theodore n Treat, from GAINESVILLE, Wis
Mr.. Grosvenor replied in an offensive
manner, and was shot dead in his tracks
An inquest is now being held.
Treat claims that he was acting under
orders, and is sustained by his superior
officer.
CHICAGO, October 24--The coroner 5
inquest in the Treat -Grosvenor homicide
case concluded its labors late last evening
and rendered the following verdict, after
a discussion of five hours, that the said
Thos. w. Grosyenor came to his death
from the effect of gun-sho wound al
the hands of Theodore n Treat, between
the houIs of u and 1 O'clock, October 21
1871, on Cottage Grove avenue. And We
the Jurors further find that such shooting
was without sufficient cause.
But the jurors say that they are of The
opinion that said Theodore n Treat sup

FIRST BUILDING IN THE BURNT Dis
TRICT.-To Mr. W D. Kerfoot real estate
dealer, belongs the credit of putting up
the first building in the burnt district, at
80 Washington street, the site ofhis form
er block. To-day his building, rough
boards, covering an area Of about twenty
square yards and one story high, is up,
and the windows and doors are in. Over
the door appears the following legend:
wv. d. Kerfoot5 real estate dealer,'No. 80
Washington street" On another part of
this building is painted, in rough charac-
tiers this characteristic sentence: Lost all
but wife and children and energy" In
another place is painted "Kerfoot's Block"
in large letters.
Mr.. Kerfoot gives the following graphic
account of his escape from The fire with his
wife and children: Being the owner of
horse and carriage in which [ used to go
to and from my business, when / became
satisfied that my house would be envelop-
ed, | brought my horse and carriage be-
fore the house, and placed my wife and
children in it. There was no room for
me, so | mounted the back Of the animal
and acted as postillion. While driving
through the flames and smoke, which en-
velopcd us on all hands, | came across "a
gentleman who had his wife in a buggy
and was between the thills hauling it,him
self | shouted to him to- hitch his car
riage on behind mine, which he did, and
then got in beside his wife. l then drove
forward as fast as | could, for the flames
were raging around us. After proceeding
a short distance another gentleman was
found standing beside the street with Il
carriage, waiting for Il horse, which was
not likely to come l directed him to
f;lsten on behind the second carriage,
which he did, and in this way we whipped
up and got out of the way of the flames
with our wives and Children thank God. F"

Who Should be Trusted.

The peoples distrust m Democratic us

the recent elections ipCaliforila andMaine,
closely followed by those in Pennsylva-
MIA, Ohio and Iowa, In all these States
aB question has been asked, and the con
e!usion arrived IT. BY looking squaYely at
lie facts.
1t is conceded in this country that the
safety and well being OF American
citizens depend, not so much upon The
people that governs, rs it does upon the
wisdom and Intelligence Of the people :;
when, therefore, party has been discov-
cred allying itself to prejudice and pan,
Gering to ignorance, 1t viii be judged by
that and not by what its leaders say,
Parties are composed of men, but
men are not parlies-thce may be
bad men in the Republican party, but the
party itself is founded upon the great
principles of human rights, and there are
many good men that are Democrats, but
the party Itself is the party which preach
ed State rights and protected slavery ;
which resisted emancipation, aqual civil
rights and equal suffrage; which declared
for surrendering during the war, and for
reputation after it; whose chief lead
ers in the Southern states are the
bitterest of unrepentant rebels, and whose
most powerful organization, Tamany, is
identified with the most monstrous cor
ruption in our history" And with such
record, whatever may be the professions
of its opponents, has justly forfeited the
confidence of intelligent and honest men.
This rotten party has received a handsome
rcbuke in the recent elections, rebuke
which cannot fail to satisfy all men, as
to whose hands the affairs of this nation
should. be trusted

We regretted exceedingly, that we were
unable to be present at the editorial ban
quet given to the association, by Mr.
Millikan, of the REPUBLICAN, at Ply

personal notice from the Herald:
While at Plymouth last week attending
the editorial Convention, it was our good
fortune to be included i'll the number who
were invited to an editorial banquet at the
house of Mr.. John Miliikan 1t was GER
tainly splendid affair, and was presided
over by Mr.. and Mrs. Millikan, assisted
by their daughter, with an ease and quiet
dignity that made all who participated in
It, quite at home. We noticed number
of citizens of Plymouth, outside of the
editorial fraternity, in attendance. BY
the way, Mr. Millikanis nicely situated in
his new home-having one of the finest,
if not tie finest, residences in the city,
richly aud tastefully furnished, nd all the
comforts that any member of the press
gang" could hope to obtain, We rejoiced
to see him thus we'll fixed, as he is wor-
thy and we'll qualified " to enjoy it.
