CHIcAGo's RUINED HoMEs.
The Men WIN Rebuilt the City Now OH the
Verge Of Starvation.
i m. Y. Star.

A resident Of New York, who was for many
years engaged in business in Chicago, met
the Hon. Leonard SWEET at the Brevoort
House, q few days ago. and drew from him 6
picture Of the desolation now affecting thai
city, Mr.. SWEET Is the ablest lawyer in Chi
cago, and is thoroughly conversant with the
situation Of affairs III that city. The CONVEX.
eation was briefly as follows:
1t Is reported, Mr.. SWEET, that the people
8Of Chicago are suffering terribly. Is It SO r
Tt Is all true, sir, and you cannot imagine
-ycu cannot form any idea Of the state oi
affairs in that city. Tits worse than any man
can conceive of."
.Does 1t effect the leading citizens ?'
Nineteen wentieths OF all the best citizens
sof Chicago are bankrupt. OF every twenty
you can name can show you that nineteen
are utterly ruined. None have escaped but
those who were dealing in money. The failure
+ Of half q dozen OF the large merchants has
swallowed up the small dealers. The prop
erty In Chicago wouldn't sell for the mort
Cages. and the original owners do not put a
valuation on it now equal to the amount Of
the mortgages. The men who rebuilt Chicago
are all broken up"
s'You know. said Mr., SWEET, "all about the
rebuilding OF Chicago Her citizens could
only rebuild by the aid of Eastern capital
lists. They went forward, however, with an
energy unparalleled; but the brick which
thousand and the laborers received 81 Der
day. The property that cost $4,000 they
mortgaged for $4,000 or more. To-day can
get brick at 81, and laborers at any price, 1t
Is easy to understand, therefore, that the
property cannot be worth more than one-half
OF what 1t was valued at, and that it is not
worth enough to cover the mortgages
Has property really deprecated In every
section Of the city 2"
Yes, it Is all alike. The other day took a
walk with Mr. -, a prominent real estate
speculator, and he directed my attention to
q piece of property, and said: "A few years
ago was offered $l20, 600 for that property.
Gently offered to sell 1t for $4,000, and doubt
whether can get that much for it. You will
see from this that property has gone down
very low"

DE-. ScHCNCK'S PULMONTC SYRUP
SEA WEED Tonic AND MANDRAKE PILLs-Ihese
medicines have undoubtedly performed more cures
ot consumption than any other remedy known to
'he American public. They are compounded of
vegetable Ingredients and contain nothing which
can De injurious to the human constitution. Other
remedses advertised cures for Consumption,
probably contain opium, which is q somewhat dan
gsrous drug in all cases, and if taken freely by
consumpt1ve patients 1t must do great injury; for
Its tendency is to cOnfne the morbid matter in the
system, which, of course must make a cure inpos-
sible. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is warranted
not to contain particle of opium; it is composed
OF powerful but harmless herbs, which act on the
lungs, liver. stomach, and blood and thus correct
all morbid secretiOns, and expel all the diseased
matter from the body. These are the Only meanf
by which Consumption be cured, and as
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic and
Mandrake Pills are the only medicines which op-
crate in this way, it is obvious that they are the
only genuine cure for Pulmonary Consumption.
Each bottle of this invaluable medicine is accom-
panied by full directions. DR.. Schenck is profess
| sionally at his principal Office corner Siqth and

war with which she has no concern. She
is kept with her hand upon her sword, and
her people, many of whom find it difficult
to get bread to eat, are compelled to main,

OF Crown Prince is as nothing compared

attempted.

Asher, and instead of squarely bluffiug
him and threatening his arrest, had list
ened and encouraged him, and left the
impression that be was in a mood to
receive the money. He wanted all inter-
ested to understand there was a chance
for that thing to succeed. and in that way
be was likely to find out just what there
was in it. When he said 100000 was
little enough, he had no idea of accepting
that sum, but simply intended to fix a
Asher could not say: Now have come
with your agreement, Witness never
named any figure but 100000, he believ-
ed He left tie impression on
Asher that if 100000 could be
raised it was bargain. He put the
figure so high in order that be might
not be embarrassed in learning that it had
been raised. Witness made substantially
this statement several times during the
cross-examination. He then gave testi-
mony as to his intention in talking with
Asher, which did not develop any new
facts. After some badinage between Nc
Mahon and Witness in which each evidenced
considerable ingenuity they passed to
the second interview. which Levissee
said was near the St. Charles Hotel at 7
o o'clock next evening. Asher aud himself
were walking around that vicinity. Asher
said he had changed his proposition. Wit
ness asked now Asher proposed then that
witness should, instead of refusing to ac-
cept his certificate of election vote direct
for Tilden, Witness replied that was a
very materially different thing and he
would have to think about it, and it was
scarcely worth while to go further without
knowing where the money was to come
from. Who has it, how is to be had ?
Asher was to have considerable per cent
on whatever was handled in the matter. -
Witness being interrogated, said that in
the first interview Asher had urged him to
make speech on the Electoral College,
taking the high moral ground that be
COUNT vote for Hayes. Witness indenti-
fed one election return signed bV him the
day or day after the vote was taken, about
Dec. /. The returns on which his sigma
ture appeared was not genuine, for it
bore the New Orleans postmark, Dec, %,
