CHICAGO BOODLERS.
The Grand jury Investigation Ends in a
Stormy Scene.

Eho Gr0uO July lhVestisatioh AAhss HI -
Stormy Scene.
CHICAGO, April 2.-The Doodle investi-
CATION which has caused such stir
among all the politicians, ended today
A recommendation by the grand jury
was made looking to "a continuance OF
the inquiry by a specially chosen body,
hut whether this will be done, eeemed
this noon rather problematical.
The final session was a stormy one.
The grand jury voted not to rescind the
indictments against Alderman Daniel
O'Brien, one of the alleged boodlers,
against whom the evidence is said to be
f1imsy.
Six members of the grand jury favored
resembling, and voted for such action,
declaring that the accusations were
baeed upon mere hearsay. General
Levy, the foreman of the grand jury,
violently assailed his dissenting associ-
ates. limiting that they, too, were cor
5upt. This was warmly resented, and
for time the session seemed likely to
end in a rough and tumble fight. Under
the ipdictmrnts only one of the ten sus-
pected officials, Alderman William
O'Brien, must necessarily go to the pen
itentiary if found guilty. The others
even il convicted, will escape with a fine

The Editor Won.

In the queens bench, London, Mr.. st.
John Bremon, editor of the society jour
nal Piccadilly, brought an action against
the proprietor, Mr.. Gilbert Smith, for
wrongful dismissal without notice. De-
fendant claimed that he had right to
dismiss the plaintiff without notice, and
further justified himself because Mr.
Bremon had adversely criticisedthe con-
duct of the Prince of Wales in the bac-
carat case, and advocated conservative
measure of home rule contrary to in
structions. The jury returned verdict
for the plaintiff. Damages, e40O.-Dun

Phases Of Life in a Big Cay.

The way in which different phases OF
human nature rub against one another
in a great city like this was strikingly
illustrated while the search was in prog
ress for the victims of the Hotel Royal
fire. By q mere coincidence a strong
picture was presented to those who had
occasion to travel ON the Sixth Avenue
Elevated railroad late in the evening.
Diagonally across the street from the
hotel is a hall, in which some sort of an
entertainment Is held nearly every night,
and passenger on an elevated train car
look into the windows of the hall and
see the merrymaking there.
While the digging was in progress a
person on train in passing the scene OF
the disaster could look out of the win
dow on one side of the car and see
workmen in the light of smoking and
Pickering torches digging down in the
ruins anxious to find what they so much
dreaded to see. These men were black
and grimy, and over their heads black
ened walls with gaping windows told
the stranger in town that this was the
scene of the terrible calamity of which
he had read so much in the metropolitan
newspapers in the last two or three days.
The passenger need only turn his head
to witness sight strongly in contrast
] indeed with the one just described.
A ball was in progress, and everything
was bright and cheerful. Men in even
ing dress had their arms encircling the
waists of their fair partners, the women
in handsome gowns, with low cut necks
and short sleeves, and each couple dane.
ing around the room to graceful music
They seemed oblivious, as they undoubt

few feet away and within plain view
In one picture all was pleasure and mer
riment - all the bright side of life
Through the other frame the picture
showed the shadows of misery, misfor
tune and horror.-New York Tribune.
