confer with the Town Trustees in regard to the
petition Of the Chicago l. Evanston Railroad
Company for the right Of way on Sherman av-
enue. E. R. Paul was called to the Chair, and
Theodore Reese was chosen Secretary.
Mr- W. c. Goudy, attorney Of the road, sisted
the wishes OF the Company He did not expect
the road to pay for two or three years, but the
charter permitted the Company to hold real es-
tate to the value Of $500 000 and thought that as
q real estate speculation it might be
made n: 70 PaSy; also thai the stock is held Id
with any other corporation, and that the Com
pany would build tbs road within year.
The petition vas discussed By Messrs- Huss
Hurd, Jones, Scatea, and others, the prevailing
sentiment being adverse to granting the petit
don without additional guarantees and 1estsic-
tions.

St. MaFySs Catholic Church, Last Evening.
The Rev. Thomas Burke, the famous orator ID
the Dominican order, lectured, last evening, in
the new St. Mary's Church, corner Of Wabash
avenue aud E1dridge court. Father Burke was
born in the City Of Galway, Ireland His
home is in the Dominican Convent, Dublin,
where he holds high place In the order. He
has deliTored some two hundred lectures in the
United States, and there ia alwaya something
new and varied in them. Being man of genius,
he is liable to break forth at any moment and
inatant notice into something brilliant He
ranks as speaker with Cahill, McHele, LaTelle,
Kenyon, and other distinguished Irish Catholic
divines and orators.
He appeared last evening robed in the simple

man, with strong Celtic countenance, and =
sallow complexion Perhaps he is in the vicinity
Of 10 years Of age. His voice is strong and
cleaz, with racy flavor OF his native soil in it.
He talks slowly, and With doiberation, until
reaching q climax, whan he grows inpassioned
and warm. With Demosthenes he believes in
action, and is endowed with considerable dra-
matte ability. His humor is genuine and native.
It eyokes laughter st one moment, and the
pathos OF the ne1t makes people c1y..
The audience WAS called for o'clock, but
