The fIattoson House Jcyvelry Rob-
bexy--Criminul Proceedings gcfore
Justices.
The suit which has been tried during the past
few days at the United States Courts against
the proprietor OF the Matteson House, for dam
nges caused by the loss BY robbery of $4,000
worth OF jewclry, yesterday morning came to
IN end. The jury in the caao disagreed, aud
wore discharged. The criminal sdo OF the af-
fair also came up yesterday, tho alleged robbor,
Drumm, being brought before Chief Justice
Banyon for examination Of committing
the robbery. Mr.. Trudo appeared as coun-
sci for defendant. The first witness exam
ined was the. owner Of the tewelry. who
testified to the loss. Tho ne1t was Joe Dixon,
tho detective, who brought defendant from Buf-
falo after having fruitlessly tried to have him
extradited ut Montreal, and he testified to sus-
picious circumstance OF defendants sudden de-
parture aud the nature Of certain remarks de-
fendant Ind been heard to let drop. Thou came
the owner OF the hotel, A1r. Woodcock, who re-
lated the suspicious circumstance Of defendants
departure from the hotol being ~ nearly Us pos
sble simultaneous with that OF the iewelry.
The Atmory Chief Justice having taken the eGi-
dence under brief consideration, discharged the
prisoner, who was, however, very shortly after
wards arrested snd brought before Justice Boy

with the ivy Of precedent, and whose halls and
towors are each haunted by its particular goblin.
But the childish imagination that Was once ex-
cited by the ghost stories h.s boen replaced by
the spirit Of inquiry and reason. The listeners
grow restive, and, to hold their attention and
their hearts, it will be necessary either to change
the stories Or present them in 4 new aspect.
Tho act Of turning cut an old pastor whose
intellect is still sound and his strength undin1in
ished, must be justified by something better
than the fact that he adheres to the written
tenets Of his Church, or tho fact TINT he ia not
given te pyrotechnical displayB Of oratory. II
the tenets are not satisfactory, it is as easy to
change them as it was originally to adopt them.
But It is no good argument against tho pastor to
Say that lie holds them moro firmly than his
congregation Nor is it fair to charge that his
style is not ornate, or his delivery rhetorical
Al this was known, il true, thirty years ago.
We had rather take our chances in the next
world on the issue Of dealing fairly with an old
pastor than on any question Of CaIvinism or
rhetorical morit that can be conceived Of

M'CORD vs.. ZOE.


Ohief Justlce Enrlvell Denies tho mo~
! ton for n Receiver.
Chief Justice Farwell of the Circuit Court,
yesterday rendered his decision in the case Of
Harriet McCord OF al. Y. Petof l.. yoe, which
complainant, applied for the appointment of a
Receiver to take charge Of certain property dur
ing the litigation Us to the will Of John McCord,
| deceased The Court stated. as his opinion,
| that tile comp1ainants did not show q case that
| required the .interposition Of the Court, as
prayed for. It appeared thnt Yoe was a

| McCord, from whom tho property originally
came that he was united with John**McCord in
the administration OF Jason's estate; that he had
the full confidence of John Mccord and the man.

After the final settlement Of the estate Of Jason
McCord, John made Yoe his agent to manage
his business take care Of the property, both real
and personal; that le wes probably better ac-
Quainted with the situation Of the property and
more competent to mango it than any other
person who could b5 namcd that there was no
prctense but that he was entirely responsible, or
that be WAS managing the business injudicioua1y.
ao was named executor in the disputed will; the
Will had been proved before the County Court,
letters had been issued to him, and he was, in
feet. in faI possession OF tho estate before the
appeal WAS taken from the County Court to tho
Circuit Court, Of tho judgment Of probate. He,
being named executor Of tho will, is clothed with
some right over the propoSty evon before pro-
bate, end after probate, and before appeal be
had full right to tako the position OF and to net
a. executor. Tha application to appoint all OK
ecutor is addressed to the discretion OF tho
Court, and the question is whether, under tie
circumstances, tie interests or rights OF any
OF the parties interested in the estate really
require that the Court should Interfere and take
tho property out Of the possession Of Voc, and
appoint Receiver to hold it during litigation.

THE COUNTY JAIL.

7b ths Editor Of The Chicago Tribune:
s1R: If you will grant me space, will say 8
word about the management OF, and condition
Of things in, our County Jail. What report is
not from guesswork, or on the representation
Of others. Ny information was acquired during
q short Incarceration within the walls Of that
ar~from-deughtful suburb OF Joliet. Of Mr..
Foltz, the Jailor, can make no complaint.
Perhaps no more humane man could be found
to fill the position than he. But, it he is granted
any discretion in the matter Of which am about
to speak, he should exercise it in behalf OF the
poor devils forced to reside with him.
The walls Of the Jail arc thick and strong; tho
roof and floor are OF iron and stone, well con-
structed, and viii hold out against the most
strong and skllful ail-breaker to force an OPEN
ing in one nights work the doors are thick,
strong and securely locked, cannot be forced.
Now, prisoners are secure in such quarters, but
are nade doubly secure By placing two or mora
in strong cells with immense iron doors, and
everything that the unfortunate inmates could
have about them,-from q 64-ponnd Columbiad
down to quill toothpick,-that could IN any
way aid them to effect an exit, is taken from
them. They must conEume their rations With

ROTATION IN THE PULPIT,

| TO the Editor At The Chicago Tribune:
sm: For few weeks past, there has been
little ripple Of gossip in certain circle O.
church-going society in this city, in regard to
| movement in one Of our Oldest congregations X
shake off the old pastor, who, for thirty years
has baptized their children, married their young
| men and women, and said the last sad words Al
the graves Of those who have gone hence out
Of their number, in that period Of time.
It happens, in perhaps q majority of cases
that new church is the foreruuner Of 8
demand for new preacher. To q congreea-
ton ambitions to have the most fashionable
church, the biggest organ, the most 1u1uriously
cushioned seats, the most rainbow-colored win
dows, and other such accessories to the cultiya-
tion of devotional feelings as are considered
prime necessities by certain class Of our newly
created aristocracy Of wealth,-to congrega-
ton, we say, whose deyotions are divided between
the God Of Israel and tho God Of Mammon,
it frequently seems only slight variation OF tile
parable Of the now wine and the old bottles to
put the same old hoaely preaching into q
splendid new church.
The congregation referred to have recently
built new church-edifce, and, while it is prob
able that such considerations as those above iu-
dicated may lave had their share in starting the
movement to quietly push the old paetor out

cd, and Passengers Frightened but
Not Hurt
collision occurred yesterday morning on the
Chicago, Cincinnati Il indianapolis Central track,
between Lake and Fulton streeta, which, though
tree from personal injuries, was yet rather ex-
penHiVe to tho roads concerned. The above
mentioned track ia connected with the North
Westerns track on Kinzio street, by couple Of
curves, which open out like I from Fulton
street. About half-past Q o'clock the incoming
Danvine and Vincennes train, composed Of four
passenger coaches, and baggage-car, had just
about reached the point where it would
curve around to the right to get on the Kinzie
street track, when Northwestern engine, with
four empty freight cars Of the Rockford, Rock
Island l. St. Louis Roed backed down on the
fair ratio OF speed, came together q few yards
south OF Fulton street. Tho engineer and fire.
man on the DanSile train saw the wrath that
was coming, and jumped OF unframed. The

first passenger coach, which was not damaged ut
all. Tho passengers were much frightened by
the sudden shock, and bundled ont on tho
prairie in great haste. None wore damaged, and
since they wero but few blocks from the Lake
