OF THE NEW YEAR BY THE CHICAGO
 BOARD OF TRADE CARRIED OUT.
 CHIUAGo, Dec. 31.-There was the usual boisterous horse play on the board of trade today. For years this has been a feature of the closing of the year, and the galleries were crowded in anticipation of it.
 It was understood that the directors had taken measures to squelch any movement of disorderly character in it's incipiency, and for long time there was more than the usual quiet and strict attention to busi- ness.
 Suddenly, as if by previous arrange ment, at Il o'clock, howl went up from all the pits. At the same instant bom- bardment of bags of flour and sample grain commenced. Every body scattered at the first volley and the business of the day came to an abrupt end. Men sought shelter un- der the tables, in secluded corners and in the washroom, but the nlerciless skirmish was kept up, the fleeing crowd was followed and pelted without mercy.
 For half an hour the fun was Kept up, and only ceased when the ammunition was exhausted.

THEIR LABORS ENDEDs

 Turn Over Their Books.

Last night City Tax Collector Robert Waruock and City Auditor A. ]. Camp completed the work of balancing upk eir books, and will this morning ty2 fhe same over to their successors in of1le. At the same time they will transfer all cash, , etc., belonging to the city a,d now in their possession to the proper authorities.
 Both gentlemen have been true to their trusts, have made good, faithful and etfi- cient officers, and have ever been on the alert to the best interests of the city, and in their departure from office carry with them the best wishes of the AaE- HEP AID for a prosperous, successful and happy New Year.
 Mir. Warnock during the past month has collected and turned into the city treasury over $22, 900. This is most ex- cellent showing; in fact, greater than any ever made by predecessor in the ofics of tax collector for the Magic City.
 MT. Camp has always proven fsithful to his trust and bears the III will of no man and it is safe to say that he leaves his books in as good shape as could possibly have been done by any one.

KlGADJU5TMENr AGREEMENT INEF-
 FEETINE.

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-The Earl-Elcott Reading committee held'a meeting today and declared the readjustment agreement of October ineffective, as only 50 per cent of the junior securities had been deposited. There were S31 ,000 ,0O0 mortgage bonds de- posited. It was also decided to receive furtter deposits of bonds under the agree meni of May until January 8, 1895, with out penalty, but the coupons will not be purchased on any bonds which were not deposited before January l, 1895.
 Before the foreclosure sale the committed will submit plan of reorganization as provided in the agreement of May by the original Olcott committee.
 The foreclosure sale can be averted by ac- cepting the plan, which will hardly be done. Special recognition will be offered to those who have deposited their junior securities and stock before February 1, 1895. Pending the announcement of the plan, deposits of junior securities will be received, which may at any time be with drawn. Unless stockholders have al- ready deposited their shares with the com miitee and had them registered they will not be recognized.
 It is believed that the following assess ments may be determined in the proposed plan:
 First preference income bonds, 8 per cent; sf conds, 10 to 12 per ceat; thirds, 15 10 l6 per cent; stock, 20 per cent. The in- come bonds may receive new securities Tor the assessment.

 OF THE CONGREGATION OF BISHOPS.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 3l.-On account .oi the misapprehension caused by the pubica- ton of statements that the decree concern ing secret societies was not final, and was submitted to the bishops in order 10 secure from them their opinions thereon, Mgr. Satolli authorizad ed the following brief statement of facts to set at rest misappre- tensions and possible misrepresentations The archbishops Of the United States have taken council with respect to three so- cieties, namely, thu Odd Fellows, the Sons of Temperance and the Knights of Pythias. The archbshops decided that the whole question should be submitted to the apos- tolic sec. 1u communication from his eminence, Cardinal Monaco, to Mgr. Satolli the action of the general congrega- tioD of cardinals, 10 whom his holiness committed the question, is made.
 The congregation, after considering care. fully the matter, made a decree. The de- cree Is therefore transmitted to all arch- bishops, bishops and other ordinaries of the United States, to be by them carried into effect. Mgr. Satolli has acted merely as the medium of transmission. But in view of the contradictory and confusing reports enanating from various parts of the country the facts are thus brit fly stated.
