Mr. Gray stated that the only question now is whether the buildings are to be put on the Intersec tion or not. He believed that the Intersection is the proper Bite, bat that the publto sentiment is against It. This sentiment he declared was manufactured, an.t the public mind has been forced, but neverthe less the board must respond to it. lie thought, therefore, that the plans ought to be referred to Councils. As to tbe site, the people had decided. The Fenn Square was the spot decided upon. Mr. Stokley said that It had been charged that he bad endeavored to defeat the commission from ob taining a quorum. It was said that he had en deavored to detain some of the members now present from attending. lie wish to ask them now whether he bad done so. Mr. Cuyler You have not done so with me. Mr. riiilllns Nor with rue either. I would sava word to Nr. Gray. He believes, he says, that public sentiment was against placing the buildings at the Intersection. If he does believe so, he should act according to It. Mr. Perkins still favored the action of the com mission some time ago.

On the first resolution, the vote for Its adoption was as follows : Ayes- Cuyler, Phillips, Stokley, and Wetherlll. Hay Gi;ay and Perkins.

Mr. Phillips mveod to refer Mr. cuyier'a second resolution and the substitute offered by Mr. Wether lll to a committee of three, to report what, under existing circumstances, ought to be done by the commission.

Wheeler, Lea, and others, any action should be taken by the commission. Mr. Phillips said the object of his resolution was, In view of the "new departure" of the members of tbe commission on tbe intersection question, to take a complete new start.

Chicago, June 19 At Lincoln Park, yester day afternoon, John Wilson was arrested by Policeman Maher for picking a lady's pocket. On the way to the station-house Wilson sprang from the grasp of the officer, drew a revolver and fired three shots at Maher, two of them entering his right breast. An old man named Charles Hoffman rushed to Maher's assistance and grappled tbe ruffian, when the latter fired two shots at him, both taking effect In the left hip. Maher now somewhat recovered and fired at Wilson, shooting him in the right breast. Wilson was then secured. Fears are entertained that Maher will not recover. Hoffman's injuries are severe but not dangerous. Wilson will probably die. But for the efforts of the police the latter would have been lynched.

Reference has already been made to the sud den death of Mrs. Field, which took place on board the steamship Russia, at Queenstown, Ireland, on the 2tftu of May. Mrs. Field was the widow of Mr. Joseph M. Field an able man, and, In his dar, a celebrated actor and her own achievements as an actress entitle her to an honorable place In theatrical history. Her maiden name was Eliza Lapsley Riddle. 8he was born in Philadelpnla, and may be said to have inherited the prosessionof the 'stage, with which she was connected from childhood until the year 1855. She first became prominent under Mr. Edwin Forrest's management in Philadel phia, and was tbe original representative in this country of "Julia," In The hunchback. When Sheridan Knowles visited America In 1834, she acted with him in this character In this city. Subsequently she went into the Southern and Western theatres as '"a leading lady." In 183(1 she became the wife of Mr. J. M. Field, who was also acting in that part of the country. With this gentleman Mrs. Field's married life was prosperous and happy. She continued act ing and won especial celebrity in domestic dramas. One of ber best personations was "Martha Glbbs," in AU That Glitters it JVol Gold. She played "Juliet" to Miss Charlotte Cash, man's "Romeo," and It was her fortune to afford professional support to the elder Booth and to Charles Kean. Mr. Macready was bo well pleased with her acting that lie asked ber to accompany him in a tour of the West ern theatres. Her last appearance on the stage was made at the Howard Athenaeum, in Boston, in 1855, when she enacted "Mrs. Mlldmay,"ln Mill Waters Hun Deep, which was then produced for the first time in America. Mrs. Field was the sister of Mrs. W. 11. Smith, whose ability and popularity as an actress are matters of common recollection, and whose death occurred in 1861. The immediate cause of Mrs. Field's decease was congestion of the brain the result of a severe cold and of ex haustion of the nervous system. She leaves a daughter, Miss Kate Field, with whose achieve ments as a writer and a lecturer the public is thoroughly acquainted. A journal for bead ornamentatlen has been started in Berlin. The new discoveries of gold and silver in Northern Arizona are attracting much attention in San Francisco. Ducks are death on potato-bugs. This is so "quack" prescription, bat a well-established remedy. THE UGLY CLUB. Fnn at the Waahlna-ton University. The St. Louis Democrat of Jane 17 says: For several years the students of Washington University have enlivened the tedium of their studies by the drolleries and witticisms of an "Ugly Club." We are not familiar with the rules and regulations of the club, but from what we have oeen ef It, we infer that it is a sort of college '-free and easy," designed to promote intellectual and social enjoyment. Last night the club gave their third annual exhibition, which consisted of characteristic speeches by the prominent members, and we must say that a more comical, humorous, Jolly, good-natured entertainment could not have been got up outside the walls of a college. The large room waa crowded with spectators, and every body enjoyed the sport and laughed most heartily at the Jokes and eccentricity of the The'proRramme was lithographed on a broad sheet illustrated with caricature portraits of the actors and containing poetical descriptions of the characters. The performance opened with a grand over ture by the band. The members took their seats on the etnge, and the President stood in the centre. The address of the President was a rare pieee of humor, and waa admirably delivered by young Belcher. He first called up the Ugly Man, and pointed out his hideous features without the least bit of blarney. The Ugly one responded in appropriate terms, and was presented with a coat of many colors and a very small tile. A fhower of bouquets, made of dogfennel, sun flowers, and all manner of weeds, fell at the feet and upon the head of the speaker as he took his sent. The Pretty Man was presented with a mirror, and made a speech worthy of Artemus Ward or Mark Twain. Tbe Solemn Man played his part to perfection, and received a pair of green spectacles. Some of his sayings were as good as those of Diogenes the cynic. The College Fool received a tall hat in the shape of a candle extinguisher, and filled the bill perfectly. One of the most amusing characters was the Bungry Man. He was represented with a bologna sausage about a yard long, and made a very laughable speech. The Brassy Man was presented with a small brass horn, and he blew his horn to some pur pose. The WicKed Man was served with a notice to leave the State. He defended himself against the terrible charges preferred against him, and several times brought down tbe Louse. Tbe Ladles' Pet was introduced with a flourish and presented with a diminutive parasol or sun shade. His speech was well delivered and full of humor. The exhibition was highly successful, show ing that the students appreciate aad possess wit and humor, and know how to amuse a crowd. Tbe entertainment closed with adince, In which many beautiful young ladles took part. TRAGIC AFFAIR. A Young Man Accidentally Shot hy a Lady. From the Xanhville (Tenn.) Banner, JuneVb. The remains of Mr. Cuarles Wallace were brought to the city yesterday evening. He had Deen staying ior some time at tne nouse oi mr. Jacob Judd. his relation, who resided near Dry Creek, twenty miles from Nashville. Three quarters ot a mile oit uvea miss Anna winnam, to whom he was betrothed. He paid her a visit on Tuesday afternoon, and while at her house volunteered to repair a gate. A gimlet being required lor the worK, both went to the shelf upon which such things were kept. Lying on tne shelf, Mi6s Wluham lound a revolver ana picicea it up, when Mr. Wallace remarked that it was un loaded, he having handled It before. At that moment the weapon was accidentally dis charged, the ball taking effect in bis temple. He exclaimed, "Anna, you have shot me," and fell to the floor. On realizing what she had done, Miss Wlnbam covered her face with her hands, ebrieked "I have killed him," aud fainted. She has been delirious ever since tbe sad occurrence, and the only words she utters are "I have killed him." Last night she was in a very critical condition, and it Is feared she will never recover from the enocK. Mr. Wallace never spoke after he was shot, and expired at about 7 o'clock that evening. Miss Winham's brother had previously loaded the revolver, a fact of which she aad Mr. Wal lace were ignorant. LBOAL INTDLtiaHrffOII. The Public Buildings. Nisi 7'ritw Chief Justice Thompxon. The Chief Justice to-day sat to hear counsel upon an application for an injunction to restrain the Building Commission irom proceeding In tbe erec tion of the public bondings. K. Spencer Miller, Esq., opened the argument for the petitioners, char acterizing the commission as a body of men to whom have been delegated powers to erect an unlimited number of buildings in an unlimited time and at an unlimited expense to be defrayed by the commu nity. He said this commission was created by an act of the Legislature, which was unconstitutional In that It contained more than one subject, and that the title of the act did not clearly state Its objects. This was tbe point which Mr. Miller strove to elabo rate, and upon which he was speaking at the close of our report. The Schaefler Homicide. Court of Oyer and Terminer Judge Allison ana Paxson. Tbe German, John Conrand, and his wife Freda rlka, were this morning arraigned upon the charge or the murder of Conrad Bchaeit'er on the 23th of May, and entered pleas ef not guilty.

Deidrick, Esq ., because lu a suit he failed to recover usurious iuterest on a mortgage, was found guilty ef assault and battery with Intent to kill and carrying a concealed deadly weapon. The case was perfectly plain, there being no denial whatever of the facts as they have been stated In our local columns. Sentence was deferred until Saturday next. A comical little episode of this case was the ap pearance of Alderman Wilson Kerr In court upon a bench warrant, he having been subpoenaed to attend' and bring with him the plHtol that was taken from the prisoner, and he having postponed obedience until after he had concluded his o'clock bearings. Tbe Judge said this was au unpardonable con tempt, and therefore ordered him to pay a One of SM).

In his trial U was proven that he bad none of tne guts wnicn he so generously ottered, except a lew pictures, which were not worth over nt teen or twenty dollars. Several tickets to his lottery were produced on the witness-stand by the detectives, and testimony to the effect that they had been purchased of the suladlerwas adduced, it was aieo proven mat two females were still selling tickets throughout the city, fleecing tbe nnwary wherever an opportunity was offered. A more barefaced swindle was never conceived. Tbe handbills, containing a list of prizes printed in English and German, were carefully carried about the streets by Indi viduals who left them at residences, saying, "I will return in a few moments and sell you a ticket." On returning, if the purchase of a ticket could not be agreed upon, the circular was taken away again and no traces of the visit lelt. Cleveland Leader, nth. RULLOFF'S ARREST. A Dispute About the Keward Suit Begun for One Thousand Dollars. The Binghamton Republican says: Cbauncey Livingston, bv his attorney, B. R. Johnson, Esq., has sued the Messrs. Halbert, serving a supreme writ, to recover Irons tnem tbe reward of 41000 offered last August by them for the arrest and conviction of the murderer of Mlrick. Livingston will put in a plea that he is entitled to the entire reward, as being the only person who arrested or aided In arresting the murderers. Colonel Brown and A. C. Matthews, who arrested Rnlloff after his discharge, have retained tbe cervices of Messrs. Chapman aud Martin, and are prepared to test the matter; and Cyrus Stockwell and the other young man who pursued Rulloff from the railroad track upon Mr. Livingston's premises, and finally brought him to jail, have engaged the services of Lewie Seymour, Esq. The Messrs. Halbert are ready to pay the bounty, without any quibble or delay, as soon aslt shall be legally determined to wbo-n it shall be bald. We understand that MM Livingston. in bringing tbe suit, does not do it for tbe sake ot forcing tbe Halberts to pay it immediately, or because he doubts their willingness to pay it, but it is done for the purpose of having tbe mat ter ot the rewards legally settled by tbe Courts; and an impartial referee will undoubtedly be appointed to hear the evidence.

In tbe German Diet, on tbe Sd ef June, the bill for tbe Ineorporatlon of Alsace waa brought up for a third reading. Clause 1 was greed to with only two dlsseotent votes. On clause 8 Prince Bismarck stated that the atti tude he assumed during tbe last difcusslon was not attributable to anv self-will. He had not, perhaps, employed sufficiently explicit expres sions, bnt that was dne to tbe fact of their not fcavlng been prepared beforehand. The difference between his views and those of tbe Parliament consisted In his considering that tbe wishes and requirements of the country were not sufficiently taken Into account In the decldons arrived at by the Parliament. It waa possible, perhaps, that even before 1873 he might be In a position to propose that tbe Alsa tians should take part In Parliamentary legisla tion; he might also admit tbem before that date to tbe Federal Council. He persisted In the wish for a longer term of dictatorial power, be cause he believed that the Government would for a time treat Alsace In a more gener ous manner than Parliament. He pointed out the peculiarities of the coun try, which it would be necessary to handle with care, mentioning as Instances the positions of lawyers and bailiffs, whose offices had hitherto been acquired bv purchase, and who would therefore hare to be indemnified If the present arrangements were modified. Such labors as these modifications would rende necessary were not suitable for the action of Parliament; otherwise, the duration of a session would be illimitable. He bepged that, if after bis long absence his speeches lacked prepara tion, tbe Houoe would not conclude from the manner in which he argued a question that he was laboring under any deep-seated ill-humor. Tbe House must allow for his susceptibility. At a later stage of the discussion Prince Bismarck stated, in order to avoid any mlsundrstanding, that the participations of Alsace in the delibe rations of the Parliament would not be Identical with the introduction of the Imperial Constitu tion In Alsace, bnt would rather be a sort of pre paratory eourpe. In the bill It was provided that some portions of the constitution might be put In force before the validity of the bill reaped, and tbis might be done with regard to electoral rights without thereby restricting legislation for Alsace to a parliamentary form. Clause 2 was then adopted, as proposed by the committee; It provides that the dictatorial power shall last until the 1st of January, 1873. After a short debate the remaining paragraphs and subsequently the whole bill, were adopted. N. Y. MONEY MARKET ON SATURDAY From the A". F. Herald.
