| THE POPULAR LOAN.
The Mayor, Comptroller Hayes City CIerf
| Forrest, and Aid 6chatfner met by chance in Hi.
| Honors Office yesterday morning, and forth
with commenced talking shout the "popula1
loan"
AID. schaffner desired to kno1 what the Mayol
| thought of it.
| His Honor said it was good idea, but it wak
not necessary to call for the money now.
] Comptroller Hayes considered the scheme fol
raising the funds impractcable. Months oi
! exertion, aud much advertising would bo re-
| quired 70 get it before the people and, when
| they were aware that money WAS needed, the
! exigencies Of the present hour would have been
| provided for. All the money needed could be
| borrowed from the banks at per cent, and the
| bonds Of the city, drawing per cent, were held
| at par in Boston. The credit Of the city was
Mr.. Forrest had heard nothing about the
stspopn1ar loan " recently, but knew that John
McCAffrey had offered to let the city have $780,
600 If it were needed.
The Comptroller did not think the charter au-
thorized loans for any length of time; but as the
loan could be renewed whenever necessary, the
charter provision could be jumped over.
Aid. Schaf1ner thought it would be expensive
t. manage popular loan ). and, besides, the
taxes Of 1873 would be coming in shortly, and
there WAS really no necessity for making it.
It WIS finally declined to let the matter Drop
and not ask the Finance Committe to take cog
nizance OF it.

VAIL AND HICKEY.
There ia no doubt about Louis Wnh1 being
confirmed, but there is about Hickey. Many Of
the Aldermen want it stipulated that he shall be
given tho command Of the First District, and
Capt. Buckley reduced to Sergeant. It this is
done, they viii vote for him: il not, they will
oppose his confirmation, and probably prevent
his Endorsement. These Aldermen want an
American Captain on the West Side.
THE LIBRARY BOARD.
The Library Board was to hnve met yesterday,
but did not, ss there was not quorum Of Di-
rcctors present. Mr. Pool submitted some dia-
grams Of bookcases, in which the more valua-

LOCkL;=MlSCELLANY..


Tie motion for anew trial in the case of Nc
Mahon came up yesterday before Judge Moore,
and Hugh Cunning. the attorney for Patrick,
asked for continuance. In support Of his re-
guest he read an Affidavit prepared by himself,
in which he sTea1s that he subp@naed Mrs
Fredericks, who; he thinks, would testify that
Mrs. McMahon, told her that she had living
child by said Patrick. he also. testified that
he had Hubpmnaed Mrs. Mary F. Hares, who
would testify that she was married to Thomas
a. Hares, and that they lived happily until 1872
Or 1873, when he took The management OF Mrs.
McMahon's property that on one occasion after
that he came home late at night with q pair Of
ladies' fine stockings on, and that she on exam
lration found the monogram Of Barbara Nc
:Malon on the hose. On one occasion she went
to her husbands Office and found Barbara III the
that when Barbara came out she gare look $50
fierce aud nendish that she trembled with
alright" Cunning states that Mrs. Hares
would also swear 20 the affair at" Lake View,
where Mrs. McMahon passed herself OF
IS Mrs. Garter, who deaired some boarders
" for company" as related in her bill against
her husband some time ago. Mrs. Hares also
Cunning states, would testify that On one occa-
sion she went to Ba1bara's house and asked her
to give up her husband. Barbara then took her
promised, $50 help me God, I will give to you
your husband" and promised to leave the city.
She (A1rs. Hares) has seen notes OF Barbara to
Ihonaas A. Hares, commencing. ''Dear Thomas.
know where you are" and also a love-letter
BEGINNING, "Dear Tommy" and signed
''Birdy."
Cunning says that be made an af1t-
dayit embodying these, facts, and took it
to Mrs. Hares to sign, when he found her too
unweu to come down. She asked time to look
over it, but on his calling the naxt day she re-
fused to sign it., Aflant states her affidavit is
absolutely necessary on the notion for q new
trial, and therefore wants more time to get it.
The affidavit Of Ii. C. johnson was also read,
in which he stated that he hsd just received
since the trial Of the case letter from his part
ner. which is as follows:
DELAvAE, Wis.,, Jan. H. 1874.
MESzH JOHNSON: just found out this noon
that T. A. Hares and Mrs. McaIahon were here in
Delavnn on Dec. 29 last. They were registered at
Shaw's Hotel as T. A. Hares and lady, and two chill
dren. Went from hotel to Doan's photograph gallery
Mrs. McAlahon and daughter 6s7s h6I as Mrs.
Dtversey. DR.. Mcdonald, from Big Foot, who WIS in
the gallery at tho time says they the parties
that connected With thu auis now on trAl. can
send you copies Of the pictures il you want them.
The afaant Immediately sent some one up
there to Investigate the matter, and thought
TINT under these circumstances continuance OF
the motion would be eminently proper. Judge
Moore therefore postponed the argument until |
Saturday.

II any credence is to be giren to the threats
uttered by disguRted lover who had invested
his small stock Of affection in an Evanston Las
sic, blood will surely flow through the streets OF

Of the fact that the young lady, a daughter Of an
old resident upon the West Ridge, bestowed
upon him her hand and, presumably, her heart,
about year ago, but is ROW unable to
fulfill the contract thus. made. Hav-
ing conquered and made prize of this
Mexican, returned to his distant home to obtain
from his wealthy father the necessary funds
with which to appropriately celebrate his mar
Tiage. The wedding Was to have been yesterday,
and the Southern gentleman arrived upon tie
scene the previous day, only to learn that his
ahianced had stepped over to her sisters the pre-
cedlng afternoon, and had been married to
3 young knight OF the jack-p1sne, who had
Isurped the place once held bY the Mexican.
His feelings at this unsatisfactory denouemert
can be imagined from the threats which he freely
utters towards tho object Of his ire, aud
which ha promises to cary OUT when the coupfe
return to Evanston.
The go-ahead people OF this interesting and
rapidly increasing suburb are determined to
