Klmbnll and Champ nro being given an opportunity to test the truth of the old adngo that misfortunes never como singly. Another brick was added to their basket yesterday , when the linn of Wright & Haldwln com menced a suit in the district court to recover t IO.IXJO "claimed as Just and reasonable fees for legal services. " The services referred to in the notice wuro performed this summer when Klmoall and Cliaiuo sent J. N. Baldwin to Philadelphia to have a conference .with Mrs. Cr.igln of the linn of C rug in & Co. To put It In Mr. KlmbaU'a language : "Wo paid Baldwin's expenses tnero and back and gave lit in enough money to keep him like a lord wlnlo ho was ttioro. He was gene four days , and now ho wants the paltry sum of f IU.OUO as fees. " It was not known generally nt the time , but It has since leaked out , th'at Baldwin went to Michigan as well as Philadelphia , to get hold of the man Smith , who was accused of boating the Kimball-Champ Investment company out of 3lilfiOO on the hotel furniture deal. lialdwln , Kimball and Chief ol Police Cary were all tliuro , and registered at a hotel under assumed names , hoping to got Smith before h ! cnoiv what they were after. Smith happened to sco thorn , however , and recog- ni/.lng thum at once left the county by the next train. Baldwin's work on this deal is Included in the services for which ho now demands compensation. An attaeunicnt suit was commenced in the superior court this afternoon by J. Sullivan against ICtmball & Champ for the sum of ffi'.M. Of this amount it is claimed that ? U)0 ) is duo for groco'-ies furnished Cragln & Co. whtlo tnev wcro in charge of the Grand hotel. The plaintiff alleges that he presented the claim to Cragln & Co. nnd that they refused to pay It. Ho then took it too Kimbnll & Champ , and they promised to stand good for thu amount if ho would agree not to communco attachment proceedings or otherwise interfere wiftli thu running of tlio hotol. The remaining $ S7.f > 0 of the claim is for goods which were furnished the hotul by tlio Stephens Lithograph and Engraving company , the bill having buon assigned to him lor collection. KmrnetTinley , who Is acting as Sullivan's attorney , tried to get Sheriff O'Nolll to servo the writ , but that gentleman stoutly refused to do it , ns the writ was Issued from the su perior court , and ho didn't propose to do the dirty work for tiny court but his own. The dialogue took place in front of the court house , and there was so much loud an violently lently picturesque Innguaco scattered about In the nir that people began Hocking from all directions to seu wh.it was the matter. At last Tlnley took his back and drove off In " search of "tho marshal , who served the writ last evening. _ Did you over stop to consider what it is worth to live on a lot fronting a well kept park ? Does it not maku property twice as desirable nnd worth at least twice as much money as it would bo in any ether location. You can bo sure that the block across the street from you will always bo covered with a line green sward ; that there will bo elegant shade trees , and in duo time , fountains , statuary and llowors , and ail taken care of without expense to you. There will always bo roo.n for your children to piny and yourself and family to enjoy your leisure hours. The only place in town where such property is to bo had is in Morningsido.

A cold wave has sprung up in the vicinity of the court house , and" for several days past it has boon so cold that all the clerks have had to wear overcoats and ear muffs while nt work. The cold wave is the result of a mis understanding between County Clerk Camp bell and Uaillff Wnll McFadden in regard to fees. The misunderstanding was mentioned in yesterday's ' BKK , in connection with the action of the supervisors in reducing the pay of the head bailiff and librarian from $ JJ to JJ , but It is growing until It bids fair to embrace some of the ether county oflicos , and. cauao war on nil sides. The reduction in pay very naturally brought McFndden , nt whom the blow was aimed , to the front. Ho says ho bas hold his olllco for twonty-llvo years at $18 a week , and doesn't propose to have his pay cut down to ? 12 now. If the board wants to cut it down they enu do so , but they will have to got some one else to till the place , a thing which ho thinks they will have no picnic in doing. Ho claims the whole scheme was started by County Clerk Campbell to nuy him back for trying to force him to pay him bis regular - lar wages during the summer vacation. Uveri since the decision of the county clerk that the librarian wns not entitled to pay for thu time when ho was out west on his vaca tion trip , the feelings between them have been anything but cordial. The next thine , ho says , will bo for the board of supervisor * to put back his salary where It , was , and ho is sure that if backing has anything to do with tlio case It will Uo done : ho claims to have thu'sympnthy of Judge Macy and the whole bar , nnd u petition Is being prepared in his behalf. Sheriff O'Nolll has also como to thu assist ance of his bailiff. He says If the county board Insists on keeping the head bailiffs salary at fl'J ' a week ho will show them tlio foolishness of trying to save any monoj ; in that direction by ap pointing two deputies nt $1'J each to do the work which MuFnddon now docs for $18. In his year of connection with the court house In his presunt position McFadden lias learned the business as it could not bo learned by a new-comer In n long timo. The lawyers nnd others who frequent the court nro considerably Interested over the nut- como of the troublu , and there Is likely tojbu something Interesting In the near future In connection with it.

The supervisor * spent most of the time while they were in session yesterday on the poor fund department. Overseer J. L. Forman - man reported thut bo wanted fSOS.20 for sal- ary nnd the expenses of his ofllco since the last mooting of the board , and that he hnd re ceived already $100. leaving a balance In his favor of tlOS.y ! . The auditor was Instructed to pay him that amount , and also $200 for use until the next meeting of the board. They re-olccted Mr. Korman to the olllco and fixed his salary nt M5 per month for the ensuing year. The matter of paylne Dr , X. W. Kynctt his 1M9 warrant , which wns mentioned In Tun BEK several days ago , came up for con sideration. After discussion It was decided to pay him the fnco vnluo of the warrant , which Is 1100 , without interest. In the thirty- two years slnco the warrant was Issued the Interest has gene right on piling up steadily year after year until now It amounts to $10' . ! , making the value of the warrant $20If the supervisors had not decided not to pay the Interest. The board then adjourned until this morn ing nnd attended the races nt the driving park In company with Judge Mncy , the county clerk nnd the grand jury. A DAY roll CIllljmKN.

This was a gain day in the United States army national snooting tournament at Fort Sheridan. The grand stand and verandas were filled to overflowing with fair ladles , ehivalric civil ians and handsome youlig'Hcutcnanta , while the range was lined with fashionable cqulp- pages , each bearing n bevy of spectators. It was the llrst daySf competitive skirmish firing. The infantry boys blazed away at the ausky silhouettes as if their lives depended on it , the cavalry meanwhile standing by and cheering like Cotnmnnchcs. It was n line spectacle , as Captain Baldwin , astride a prancing steed , which born him in safety out of many quarters in the Injin country , rode out on tuo range accompanied by a buglar , who expressed his every wish in military toots. . The eight marksmen who composed the ilrst skirmish line stopped up to the ( JOO yard limit and waited for the signal to start. With each siiirmlshor went n commissioned and n non-commissionod olllcer , who watched bis every move and reported any violation of the code. " " The veterans nervously twitched their rillns nud anxiously waited the signal for the onslaught. When at last it did como they started off with quick strides. Thnn comes the sicnal ' 'Double tiii'ol" "Haiti" "Firol" At the command of lire the men dropped to the ground as If shocked by nn electric current , and hardly were they stretched at full length before their rides begun to crack. Then for thirty seconds it was n continuous roar : the bullets whistling In the nirand Imbedding themselves in the backstop with a heavy thud , the dust and pebbles showering around the figures so that before the thirty seconds were ever tlio recumbent marksmen were hid in a cloud of smoke. After the command , ' 'Cease ' firing , " tlio men arose and the process was repeated un til ten halts had boon made. Koine ex ceptionally good runs were tmidt > , three of them breaking all previous skirmish records mndo on the Fort Sheridan range. Sergeant F. D. Powell , company D , Fourteenth in fantry , wlioso score of 17II points was the best made Wednesday at target shooting , pllcu up a grand total of 1 l.r > points in his afternoon run. But his fore noon run was only W , so that for the day lie gotbutl'Jl points , which was equalled by but three contestants. However , Sergeant "Yank" Mayor , company G , Sovi'iiteenth infantry , made the second best run , riddling the figures to thu extent of 1K1 points. His morning run was 118 , bringing his nvorngo for the day up to 1111 points , two points bettor tbnn the skirmish record of last week. Sergeant H. Koso. company A , Eighteenth infantry , scored 115 in tlio morning and lit ? In the afternoon , giving him nn average of ISO points , tils score of 11 and 104 on the previous two days gives him n total of 401 points which places him .first among the army men.
