The London Cosmopolitan Of the 9th inst. has
the following in reference to the memorial pic

When, little more than year ago, large portion
Of tho City Of Chicago reduced to ashes and over
100 600 people rendered homeless, universal sympathy
was manifested for the sufferers not only in America
but throughout tho civilized world. Subscriptions Of
money, food and clothing poured In from evc1 quar-
tor TO supply tho wants Of men, women, and children.

leaco WAS shared nike by rich and poor,
until Chicago herself sent forth the request th4t the
Aood-gates Of charity might DO closed The wants Of
the destitute were abunaanty supplied even IN the
meut the propretors, stat, and artists Of tho Graphic
newspaper, who had raised q very considerable sum
for the "Chicago Relief Fund, decided to present
their offering IN the shape Of Memorial Picture, an

the design was given to Mr. Arnitage, newly

ARREST or HOG THIEVES.

Sixty Head Of Swine Stolen from the Stock
Yards--Tle Thieves Captured aud Sent to
Jail.
Through the energy and shreTdness Of Super
intendent Sherman and Captain Tabor, Of the
Stock Yard police, certain parties, who for long
time have been suspected Of sundry irregular
ites," we're yesterday started on the road to
Joliet. Among the purchases OF D. Kriegh j
Go. (paokerb) on Saturday last wero some 400
hogs, which they did not drive to their packing
house, but allowed them to remain in the sale
pens. Upon driving the hogs from the pens yes
terday, it was discovered that si1ty-six Of the
number we're missing; the gate having been
opened so1ue time during Saturday night
and Monday morning, and tho hogs
driven to another division Of the yards.
Suspicion At once rested upon "scalper "a
buyer OF crippled hogB-named Edward Maloy,
ho having been detected in similar disreputable
practices On former occasion. This worthy
vas invited into the private office Of superln-
tendent Sherman, whom. after being sharply
questioned, ho confessed his own guilt, and IN.
plicated Patrick Grant, Thomas Burns, and
James McNarney, as accomplces. The parties
were arrested and takan before Justice Williams,
who held them to bail in the sum Of e, 500 each,
in default OF which they were sent to JAIL 1t

4 playful assistant to flah-monger with .
while passing the monEeys house in the Jardin
des Plantes, Paris, the other day, that it would
be amusing to give crab to one Of the monkeJs
which held out it's "hand through the wires Of
its csge. The animal, We are told, looked at it
curiously, then raised it to his mouth. The
crab-~hitherto inert-now recovered it's sef-pos-
session, and took hold OF the rnor-ey'a nose be-
tween its large clsws. The other, with pierre
ing cry, rushed to the root Of the building,
clinging to q cord. The crab continued to main
tain its hold, the monkey frnntically endeaSor-
ing to tear it away. Weary OF the struggle, he
suspended himself to q bar By the tail, and
swung violently to and fro, hoping thus ~ to
low Oh the ground, looking on with astoniah-
ment ut the strange spectacle. Suddenly the
poor animal became motionless- He IVES, an
eyewitness suggests, thinking. and his 5eaec-
tions, VIC are told, were OF . melancholy charsc-
ter, as they ended in suicide. He let SO the bar
to which he had been suspended and, falling
headforemost. WAS killed Instantly, his nose
still in the claws Of his persecutor.

Inauguration Of FolcTss Grenk Hnll--The
Establishment Visited by Over 80 900 Per-
Sons During Yesterday.-The Ladies' Reccp-
tt0n.
The opening of Tom Foley's mammoth bill
lard hall occurred yesterday, and Was attended
by an immense concourse OF people. Between
the hours OF 10 o'clock in the forenoon and 4 in
tho afternoon the privileges Of the opening were
restricted to ladies and gentlemen accompanying
them, and the ladies' availed themselves largely
OF the opportunity. It was estimated that at
least one Thousand OF them visited tho
establishment during the day. They
seemed to enjoy 1t hugely. and were
profuse in their expressions OF delight and
ton. The great majority Of them had never
seen the interior OF billiard hall before, and
as the bar waa kept closed, and no games wcro
allowed to be played, they had it Ill to them
selves. In order to giro his fair guests an illus
e1 9 h aass1:sen M ea2 asnse to tfs to
have m.tched game played By Louis Shaw, one
OF the finest players in the West, and Peter
synd.r, the Superintendent Of the hall. It
proved to be Z very pretty exhibition OF skill,
and winning the game By large majority. When
tho ladies had finished admiring the beautiful
tables, the lovely carpet, Tho artistic fre3co
work, ETC., they were afforded q glimpse Of the
gorgeous mysteries Of the sdeboard, with its
massive marble counter and glittering glass and
silver ware-au OF which they looked 1t from an
aesthetic point OF view merely. and expressed
thoir approval Of the general effect. Soon after
4 o'clock in the afternoon the doors we're thrown
open to the general public, whsreupon perfect
rush ensued, which lasted nearly to midnight.
With his customary Difference to the Importance
Of the press, Mr: Foley gave out the lirst set Of
TIE TRIBUNE and Times, who honored
the great hall BY playing tho frat
game therein. OF course, the Times
man was badly beaten. In less than i've min
ctes after the balls began to click every one Of
the thirty tables WIS in full blast, and from that
time until toward midnight tho hall WAS densely
crowded. It is safe to say that at least $1,000
people visited the hall during the day and even
ing, and it ia equally true that the opening, like
tho establishment, WAS the greatest ever known.
It should be stated that the building, which occn-
pies the former site Of Bryan Hall and Hoo1ey's
opera House, on. Glark street, IS owned By !.
4. Hanlin & Bros, Of Wizard Oil fame, who
feel pardonable. pride in the unparalleled style
Of magnifcenco in which the establishment has
been fitted up.

erty holders, or the contracts that may exist
between them and the Company, the Com
mites or Council had nothing to do with.
The right of way on Clark street
was granted to the Rock Island Road alone. but
= subsequent ordinance gave that Company and
other track On the game street, on certain con
ditions. The Companies, however, claimed that
thoy never accepted the last right. Tho Michi-
gan Southern Company had purchased the land
on which their present track was laid. the Rock
company having obtained permission to CROSS
the east and west streets, upon their OWN lands
west OF Clark street, by relinquishing their
rights on Clark street.
Tho Committee then adjourned for two weeks,
when the Railway Company willpresent thair case.

The Council Committee on Railroads met in
the Council Chambor, yesterday afternoon, to
consider the petition Of property~owners on
South Clark street relative to the romovnI Of
the tracks OF the Chicago, Rock Island d Pacific
Railroad from that thoroughfare, or, in lieu
of that, the substitution OF horsepower for
steam. AID. Woodman presided.
Mr Nichols said he owned property on Clark
street for long time, and he and others had
offelsa tho Company the right Of way through
their lots II the tracks were removed from the
street; It had n.t. however, been favozably
thought Of. He felt 1t 10 be great outrage,
children being killed, and tho houses on the
street being rentab1e to none but tha poorest
people, who could go no where else. Bor14 the
Rock Island and the Michigan Southern had
bought the right Of way outside Of Clark street,
