The Ble HOIIHO on the Hill. The great stone structure up on Far nam street , between Seventeenth and TJghtoenth , occupied by the ofllcials of .Jouglos county and known as the county building , is a busyjiivo of in- dubtry from 9 o'clock in the morning until 5 in the afternoon of every day in the wcolc oxeept Saturday. Numerous are the kinds and condi tions of men who daily mount the long Btono stairways which load from { ho Street to the main entrances .of the _ _ building. There nro three of tlio lat ter , but the most used loads from Far- unm street to the north entrance. Well - known lawyers who linvo pi own gray in their profession and have earned by hard knocks and persevering toil alone the laurels they now wonr ; others of the sumo calling who , cither through in ability or lack of application , have lost the ono opportunity and now nb a con- Bcquonco , can but earn a precarious livelihood by doing the menial work of their profession ; young , ambitious stu dents fresh fiom the law olllccs , who in the county building behold an imago of the capltol at Washington and por- chnnco the white house ; mendicants Booking aid from the county , clerks of both soxcfl. mon of business and men of Idleness , loufors in fact , tend till sorts and conditions of mon , daily climb these wourisotno stairways into the great building. Tlio courtrooms , naturally enough , ftro the primary attraction to the idle , and more particularly is this true of Judge GrotT's room where the criminal cases are heard. Many u poor sinner has been sent but of thut room to a lifo of ponnl servi tude , amid the cuplng curiosity of the morbid throng that daily palhois thore. There are habitues of the plueo that become nearly as muoh a part of the tegular fixtures OH the chairs , and whoso absence , should they chunca to miss a , day , would probably not only bo .mentally noted by tha bailiffs , but by the judge hiniHoU , in much the sumo manner that ho would miss the clock from the wall , Upon cold and stormy flajs the room Is filled with 11 motley crowof lountrors who have no bettor place to go. Hour in and hour out , they llbton , with more or less attention , to the cause being hoard , but , as fur as their presence is concerned , U makes but llttlo dlffcrenco whether the cnse is a murder trial or an notion of the most trivial Importance. They are there just the sumo , evincing the greatest In terest nnd Impartiality. Here , every morning , during term time , the four judges of the distlict court , Judge L , A. Grofl , Judge 12. "Wnkolv , Judge M. R. Hoixmolf and Judge G , W. Donne , sit while the jour nal is roadafter which Judges WaUely , Hopowoll and Doano go to their cham ber : ) to hour the eases unsigned to thorn. In Judge G roll's court , besides him- iclf muy bo fouad ono of the olllciul BtcnosrrnphorB and Lewis Grebe and H. B. Hunt , bailiffs. The other court rooms are across the Imll on the sumo .loor. Judge Wnkoly bus for his bailiff Henry Grebe , kiiown about the build ing as the "old man. " The other bail- .ffs uro John Norberff , in Judge Hopo- ivoll's court , and Pat McQuillan , in udgoDoano's. The official court stenographers are Bird C. Wnkoly. Cal C. Valentino , T. P. Wilson and A. M. Hopkins , all ounp men and rapid that is as far as mling short hand is concerned. Upon the same floor , ia front , is the ofllco of Sheriff William Coburn , who before his election to his present ollico , was a clerk at the quartermaster's depot. It is ho who , every morning at 9:80 : raisorhis voice in the district court room in the refrain , "Hear yol hoar yol The honorable district court is now open pursuanttoadjournment. " Around the sheriffs ollico can generally bo found his deputies , Dorsoy B. Houck , Frank Bandlmuer and George Strykor. At the southern end of the building , will be found Frank Mooros , clerk of the district court. Ho is the military looking gentleman , who roads the jour nal in the , district court room every morning. Before ho was elected to Ollico InHt year upon the republican ticket , ho was connected with the Wabash railroad. Ho has for his as sistant V. M. Mackoy , deputy , Mrs. C. E. Perkins , stenographer , and Charles Mayno , lilo clerk. Mr. Mackoy , the deputy , has been in the ollico ton or twelve yours , and , of course , i ? well ac quainted with every detail of the busi ness. ness.On this floor , also , will bo found the ofllco of the county auditor , which is presided over by J. H. Evans as auditor. So much for the third floor. Leaving it and going down ono flight of stnlra und turning to the left , the ollioo of the register of deeds will bo found , anil tit the roglntors'a desk T. K. McGoath j'uu l > o soon. Notir him ifa W. R. Knglibh , his deputy , and in an adjoining room nru at least a doen clerks. Many men mid mtildcns , the sumo who may always bo BOOH tripping up the fitrurti us the clock is on the point of striking nlno. Not always fatrietly uttdntivo to duty nro thcso hitter. The mischievous youngsters will chow gum , talk a little and flirt a little , but , on the whole , they are sufllciuntly attuntiiu to duty und iiccomplUh the tasks sot , b < i- fore thorn. In addition to clerks regu larly employed in the olllco , there are othois sent thereby abatrnctorb to nmko transcripts of the records. Across the hall is the ollico of the county treasurer , Henry Bolln , who is now serving the county in that capacity for u second term , having boon in ofllco about four years. Ho is ono of the few republican olllolalb in the buildings. Associated with him in performing the duties of the ollico are John Groves , his deputy , and Wil liam Sohwarlck.book-koopcr and Henry Boekmon , collector. Treasurer Bolln isn't bothered much by loungers. Pop ple are not pi ono to go there unless thov have to. Along the corridor on the anme floor will be found the oflico of the patri- nrolml James B , Brunor , county sunor- intondontof instruction. "Along title , " snye lie , "with a short salary. " Hut then ho takes comfort in meditating upon the good he is doing , having nearly twontytlvo thousand children indirectly under his instruction , Mr. Brunor hua boon in otllco six years und poi forms the duties alone , having no assibtunta or clerks. Across the corridor can bo found County Clerk M. P , Rochet elected to the ofllco two years ngo u I Km the democratic ticket. Mr. Roche has for his deputy J , C. i nil foil , and for his chief cldrlc MM. B. M. Howe. As for neighbors , Mr. Roche has none ess than the honorable board of county ! ommissionors. Volumes might bo writ- .011 of this body. There are many of .ho elements of a circus about this Branch of the county government. Their deliberations and doings and mis doings furnish a never-failing source of news for the reporters. The board at present consists of W. J. Mount , chairman ; Richard O'Keofe , L. M. Anderson , P. J. Corrigan and William R. Turner. The board meets in regular sobsiou on Saturdays , and Humpies of oratory that float about the room upon ; hose occasions would put a Webster to blush. All is not harmonious in the lio.ird and sometimes the members will become somewhat emphatic in addressing each other , but this is soon forgotten when the session ib over. At the clerk's desk A. J. Webb will bo found. Mr. Webb has occupied the position since January only , having succeeded Billy Moran , who. while clerk of the board , became insane , and is now in the asylum at Lincoln. Webb , in ! addition to being a dork , is aa artist , of no mean ability , and devotes his leisure time to making sketches of the idlers lounging about the room. " 'Whiskey Jack" was up there u feW days ago and Webb drew his portrait. Jack pro nounced the likeness all right and. the sketch now hangs in front of John Tay lor's desk. John Taylor , by the way , is something of a character in a quiet kind of a way. lie does piece work for the register of deeds and is ono of the host copyists connected with that ollico. Ho has worked in the building for years and years , and is known by everybody. Ho occi ,3ics a corner of the county commibsionors' room , but the confusion in there dis turbs him not , as John is hard of hear ing. Ho is forever complaining of u pain in hip chest or in his back , and to hear him talk ono would think ho hud ono loot already in the grave ; but. blossyou , if , in a-momont of ill-advised levity , you should undertake to bo un duly familiar with him , look out for John is loaded , and is ono of the best non-professional boxers in the city , und loves , u few impromptu rounds as much as Jim C'relgh- ton docs Jefferson square. Clerk Webb knows all about it. The remaining rooms on this floor are occupied by the county court , pre sided over by his honor , Judge Shields. K. F. Morlurity Jills the position of clerk of the court , William Shields is clerk of probate matter and Miss LJ. Maud Busbeu Is olllciul stenographer. Going down stairs into the basement , the flrst room on the right is occupied bvCity Comptroller C. S. Goodrich. Mr. Goodrieli has boon in ofllco two years. Previous to Ills election he was engaged in the mercantile business in the city. J. K. Coulter is Mr. Goocl- rii'h'tf deputy and John , Fred and K. B ; Alexander nro the clerks. Buck of the Ollico are the rooms occupied by the1 county sur veyor , C. II , IlaWos. * and his nsslsttwtnnts. George Smith , deputy , und M. S. Palmar , C. U. Page , John It. ( jru\es and Ernest Bacon. On this floor is City Clerk Southard's ofllco , and associated with him are found Harry G. CouiiHtnan , dopiity clerk , und D. G. Burgess and 1J. C. i , assistants. Adjoining the city clerk's ofllce nro the rooms of the city engineering corps , At the engineer's desk will bo found George W. Tillson , who ( Ills that ollico , and at the other desks are Airn J. Groves , assistant , Gcorgo R. Crniir dall , Edward Donahue- Charles J. Carpenter , Suyres G. Knight , Tbomns Shaw , W , J. Mol athron , W 0 , McEcau , Jumos O. Snowclon , Mat. thow Hughes , John Cowles nnd ( Jhnrles Robertson. On this floor , too , is the city treas urer's ollice. John Rush occupies tlio principal's desk , F. , B. Gridloy rind. Charles F. Drexel nro the deputies. Patrick Burke , B. J. Flunnery and James Rush assistants , and Neal Ward copyist. Lust of all is the department of county superintendent of the poor , presided over by John J. Mahoney , witbj F. P. Zimmor in charge of the drug department. Hero comes the worthy and unworthy poor for provisions , clothing and medicines. There have probably boon more lies re corded from this room than from any other place in the city , as unscrupu lous vagabonds do not panso at such a small obstacle as an untruth in order to obtain alms. The building is under the charge of Mike Lahey , the engineer , who is as sisted in caring for the building by Al bert Sharp and Pat McDonough , the janitors. Such are the tellers of the county building. In some cases their work is varied and interesting ; in others dry and monotonous. For the most part hard and unceasingly'and they , it as , that make the great building on the hill thrum with activity during six days of every week in the. year. ADDITIONAL SPOUTING NC\VS.

OHIO AGO PO9TOPPIOE PliUSlB. Senator Farwell's Views on tlio Blat ter of Their Distribution. CHICAGO , April 0. Dispatches from Wash ington published hero this morning stated that Senators Farwoll and Cullom were very much "put out11 at the appointment of John A. Montgomery to bo superintendent of malls in the Chicago postofllce , because they were not consulted In the matter. It appears that the appointment was made bv General Super intendent Ball , and that neither Postmaster General Wauamakor nor Assistant Post master General Clarkson were consulted about the matter. Senator Farwell was In terviewed on the subject to-day , nnd said ho was not objecting to Mr. Montgomery nt nil , ho regarded the gentleman In every way lit for the position. What ho complained of is that the appointment was made without his ( Farwoll ) knowing anything about It. Ho thought ho should bo consulted about matters - tors relating to appointments at his own homo. "Von are reported to hnvo said , " said the reporter , "that the present incumbents In minor positions will bo allowed to servo out their terms. " "That Is my opinion. " replied the s onator. "I think that will bo the polloy of the admin istration. " "It is reported ttmt the sumo difference is likely to arise between President Harrison and the senators in regard tlio patronage us divided the late Senator Conldlng and Presi dent Garllcld. " said the reporter. "I think there Is not much danger of that , " sold the senator. "I think the president proposes to treat us fairly. Ho Is n man of decided opinions. He Is an honest , upright , capable mid good man , und will make a good president. I do not think ho could bo severed from his purpose by anybody. Ho certainly could not bo severed from what ho thought was right , at all. " KESOLiUTIONH OK COXDOtfKNOB. Action or the Supreme Court Ilnr on tliu Death of JusticeMntthews. . WASHINGTON. April 0.
