SOCIETY NOTES.

Tuesday evening, Mr.. F. ". Forch, Jr., was
united in marriage to Miss Iil1ie, daughter OF
Jacob Gross, one Of Chicago's oldest and most
respected German citizens. The ceremony took
place at ST. Pau1's Church, corner Of LaSalle
aud Ohio streets, where large number OF
friends had assembled to witness it. Pastor
Hartmann oftlciated, Miss Rcbccca Huehn, Miss
Phoena schade, and Miss Carrie Boerner acted
as bridesmaids, with Messrs. kissinger, Goetz,
anu John L. Forch as gEoomsmen, Messrs.
Walter and Charles Goodrich officiating Is
ushers- From the church the party vent to the
house Of the BRIDES father, II Warren avenue.
where they received congratulations from up
wards OF 100 friends At about II o'clock they
sat d.wn to sumptuous repast furnisaed by
Hcnr1ci. after which they all retired to tue dane
1ns-hall above, where Lehder was On hand with
ms excellent music, and the festivities we're
prolonged until quite a late hour.

THE COUNTY BUILDING.

The County Treasurer yesterday sent $9o, ,oo'
to the City Treasurer.
The building was deserted yesterday iu th
interest Of " Reform I" and Democracy.
| Col. Clcary says he intends to have the nev
Hospital occupied q week from Tuesday.
The Commissioners will visit the Insane Asy
lum Friday evening, to enjoy themselves in the
mazy dance.
The County Collector was yesterday informed
the amount Of $500, 600, would the coming
week invest that amount in tax-certi6catos ir
South Chicago.
Levies to satisfy claims for taxes were yes.
terday made on the property Of Dr.. Earle, No.
81 Park avenue, F. G. Walls, No. SO Park ave.
nue., and ]. F. Warrington, No. II LcMoyne
street. In each case custodians were put in
charge.
Some time ago nlmerously-signed petition
body to submit the question Of aholishing town
ship organization to the people, Nothing has
been done with the petition, and it is highly
probable that nothing will be, all of which illus
trates the respect that body has for the public
will.
Cabbage Ryan, arrested a few days ago on
an old indictment, was Yesterday released on
becoming bis bondsmcn. The officers have very
little encouragement to do their duty in the
matter of making arrests when such characters
are set ut large On such iimsy bail. As for the
man Armstrong, an unsatisfied Judgment on
bail-bond is already among the records OF tile
Court, and it is not his fault that there arc not
more. The arrest Of Ryan was the work Of
months, and he is among the more noted
thieves OF the country.
The Grand Jury yesterday disposed Of a num-
Der OF cases Of petty character, and returned
into court 80 indictments When the return
had been made, Mr.. Jones, Of the jury, asked Of
the Court whether an indictment once returned
could be rcconsidcrcd. The Court replied that
the question was an unusual one, and, while he
was Of the opinion that return once made was
final. lie would decide the question tomorrow.
The foreman Of the jury said, while the question
was being broached, that motion to reconsider
a certain indictment had been brought before
the jury, but had not been entertained. After the
jury had retired the meaning Of the movement,
was developed By Mr.. SWEET, one Of Sullivan's
attorneys, arising and remarking that the qucs-
tion had been raised in the interest of Alexail-
der Sullivan, indicted for murder tile first day
of the jurys session. The influences brought
to bear on the jury to induce any one to make
motion to reconsider are not known.

TEE BAND OF HOPE.
JUVENILE REPUD1ATIoSIs1

I
Lower Farwell Hall was nicely decorated YES
terday afternoon with tho youthful members
the Band Of Hope. The Band composed Of younI
boys and girls who have forever cschewcd th
evil Of strong drink and plug and fine cut tobac
| co. It was 4 beautiful sight, these juvenile ex
amples to age and dissipation, and as they flee
in, the Oldest not over II years, it was On illus
tration Of the bliss OF abstinence that must carr,
conviction to the heart Of any man soaked in tn,
| liquid sin Of alcoholic indulgence. The Bani
marched around the room, headed BY the Amer
| lean tiae, notwithstanding that one color there
in is suggestive Of wine in the cup, an6
after taking their seats in the front row o1
chairs, the audience, limited perhaps to 200
seated themselves in the rear. The number in,
terested was not large, but there were enough
to notice the condition Of one reporter, whc
was perennial applicant for prayers.
The exercises opened with the hymn, "Only
an Armor-bcarer,' and "Go for the shore.
sailor" MIR. A. Paxton called the Band to
order and called upon the Rev. Mr.. Dickcnson,
who olfcrcl 4 ferycDt prayer.
Air. Paxton addressed the Band on the pros
pcct Of the world while drunkenness
should preyaili He said the breakins
down OF the evil depended OIL the chill
dren. In his younger days, it was claimed
time had developed that men we're better with
out It. He spoke Of the Band Of Hope in En-
gland, where two-thirds Of the younger popu-
lation had signed the pledge, and had By their
works commanded the most fervid support OF
the people Of the nation. The american Band
could only be built up by the Sunday schools,
antt If those schools should do their work, the
