Ho bad a lot of punches and drills at the time of the Evauston Job tbnt were tnndo expressly lor him , and ho claimed to DO able to open n safe as neatly and in us short , order as nny criminal in the land. The fodcral authorities at Evanston have been notified by telegraph ot Hlloy's arrest.

At no lime this fall has the call from out- sldo banks been as heavy as was conlidently expected. The shipments nf money from week to week are still too small to affect the rate of interest. It appears that tbo larger crop centers oblntned full supplies of coin and currency early in the season. As a mat ter of fact , considerable money thus stored away at northwestern points to use In harvest has slnco been put out on call , to await bettor detcand. The free movement of cereals from the prairie farms to tide water has uopt the money markets In an easy condition , and the season has ad vanced too far to admit of any fears of a stringency from the phenomenal crops. An improvement in local securities is outlined bv recent events on the stock board , but people still begin to wonder when tlio brilliant prospects of the country at largo wilt make themselves felt with full force in Chicago stocks.

KcUepllosnt Length < > the Petition oPC. K. Squires. Some days ago , Peter W. Blrkhausor , the chairman of the Board of Public Works In timated that ho Intended to go before the city council and nsk that body to cancel the contract that the Barber Asphalt Paving company has with the city In regard to the repairing of stroato that have been paved wltn Trinidad sheet nsphultum. Charles E. Squires , the resident manager of the Burborcomp.iny got wind of what Mr. Blrkhausor proposed to do and at once sued out nn Injunction. A petition wns tiled , showing under whnt authority the rompnny aclcd nnd denying the city's right to Inter fere In the promise" , so long ius iho contract between the city and the company existed. Mr. BlrKhnuspv Inndcd his guns nnd de clared war. Since that date ho has been busllv engaged upon the answer to Squires' petition , and today the document will be lllod In the office of the clerk of the district court , The answer U of great length nnd slnrts out with n denial upon the part of the chair man , In which be stales that ho has tro per sonal knowledge that such a corporation as the Barber Asphalt Paving company exists. Ho admits the contract for repairs , but de nies that Squires has complied with Its terms slnco It wns entered into , which wns on March 11. , 1SSO. Mr. Blrkhnuser openly nvors tbnt the Bnr- bor company has neglected nnd refused to keep the streets In n good state of repair ; that the plaintiff has absolutely refused to obey the mandates of the Board of Public Works ; that the company has tried to be the solo jud o of how , when and where repairs should bo inndo , nnd In this respect it had sot the Board of Public Works , nnd its chairman in particular , at detlanco. Mr. Blrkhauscr also denies that ho boars any ill will toward the company , its manager or nny employe , and the charge that he did , the deponent s-ays , is wholly false and untrue. The chairman swears that what ho did do was done for the best Interests of the city and the public nt large. After disposing of this question Mr. BIrk- houscr takes up nnd digests the original con tract. Ho avers that while it h.is boon recog nized as n contract , It is not only void , but is tinetureu wlla the grossest kind of fraud. It wns signed by the chairman of the Board of Public Works and by the agent and manager of the paving company without any legal au- tuorit.v from the city , but why ho does not say. The chairman also avers that the re- pavlng nnd repairs provided for by the terms of Iho contract were never advertised nnd that bids for doing such work were never In vited , but tnat the conlrjct w.is lot In prl- pate to the Barber compunv nt such an ox- borbltant price as to render it a fraud upon the city and the taxpayer * ; that the prlco stipulated in the contract , 8 cents per square yard , Is at least four times the actual cost of making such repairs and rolaylnir such pave- mont. Mr. Blrkhnuser continues his aflldavlt by adding that at the time this contract was made both the chairman of the Board of Public Works nnd C. E. Squires know that the price was outrageous , and that the coun cil in approving tbo contract failed nnd neglected to investigate the facts. The further charge Is made that the contract is bused upon deception nnd fraud ; thai It is void , us It was made in direct violation of tno city charter , which provides that all public work shall bo publicly let to the lowest bid- dor. dor.Tho The venerable chairman adds that it would be no fraud upon the part of the city to can cel the contract nnd relot the work and in conclusion ho states that when the case conies on for trial it will involve questions over which a court of equity has no jurisdic tion.

( Circuit Judge McConnell has rendered an opinion in the case of Shlorlc vs the Chicago ft Indiana Natural Gns company , sustaining the injunc tion nnd restraining the company from cross ing the old Wnbash & Erie canal bod. The court hold It was apparent from evidence that the purpose of the company was to tuko gas to Chicago , nnd Inasmuch as the law only al lowed thorn to condemn lands to supply the citizens of this state , they should not bo per mitted to make tno condemnation. The court also hold that iho evidence showed it was im possible to pipe gas that distance without ar tificial pressure , which Is prohibited by an net of iho Indiana legislature. This is nn important decision nnd will era- nto consternation among ibo projectors of the Uhlcago plpo line. The gas company will ap peal to tlio supreme court , but months wfll olnpso before "a hearing can be obtained.

The machinery of the law has not been put to work. .00 speedily against the fraudulent use of ammonia and alum in Baking Powders. Both health and the pocket of the people are demanding protection.The legislatures of /i / New Yorkr Illinois and Minnesota have taken this matter oT adulteration up , and especially that of Baking Powders. It will be ja. the interest of public health when their sale is made a rrusdemcanor in every State in the UNION , and the penalticTJof the law are rigidly enforced. There is no article of Jwman food more wickedly adulterated thau that of Baking Pftwder. Dr. i-rjce's Cream Baking Powder is the only pure cream of tartar powder having a general sale that is free * * from ammonia , alum or taint of any kind of impurity. It makes the sweetest and lightest bread , biscuit and cake that are perfectly digestible whether hot or cold. It costs more to manufacture Dr. Price's than any other baking powder. It is superior to every other known and the standard for forty years. Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is re ported by all authorities as free from Ammonia , Alum , or any other adulterant.
