SLIGHTLY MIxED.-A man named Lime
han was convicted, about year ago, in Cali
fornia of robbing Chinese on the testimony OF
Chinese witnesses exclusively. The Supreme
Court having decided that Chinese testimony
was not admissible, Lnnehan has been dis.
charged from the penitcntiary. While he was
in prison, however, his wife obtained divorce
on the ground of her husband being felon, or
convicted of an infamous crime, and she mar.
ried another man. Linnehan now moves to
set aside the decree of divorce, for restora-

Judge NJ. P Deadly, U. s. District Judge in

been found who was willing to allow the SEN

Whether he will ever assume the functions of
his Office, is a question not yet determined.
We hope, if he is an honest man, that he will
accept and start at once for tho field of his
official duties, not that We are anxious to dis
place Secretary Curtis from the Acting Gov.
ernorship, but for the simple reason that, if
Grant should make few more attempts and
fail to get any one to accept the position, he
might, in fit of desperation, to get rid of the
annoyance, and as last resort, appoint Old

Some people are go fanatic they have
no liberality of thought about anything
they may happen to oppose. We Ender-
stand there was 8. bitter Onslaught made
on our eminent contemporary, the UNION
AND AMERICAN, on last Sabbath by
minister in the pulpit up the country, for
a mere local in that worthy journal, no.
ticing the dedication of a Catho-
lie Church with some compliment
tary well wishes, etc. He said he
was surprised that any of the members of
his order would take the UNION AND

Catholicism as much as it did. Such miss
taken notions of the views of paper Oe-
cupying the position that that paper does,
certainly must cOme from fanaticism.
Our ministers of the gospel must not

cannot appreciate the spirit of enterprise
of live journalism II was out of that
spirit of enterprise that the article was
conceived, and not from any leaning

not one of the gentlemen connected with
that paper has any more leaning
toward Roman Catholicism than

upon their excellent journal. We know

NEW YORK.

A Naval officer Indicted for Perjury
New YORK, July An Indictment for
perjury against naval officer Latin of this
port, has been found by the grand jury
|-of Herkimer county, and trial is set down
for next week. The circumstances of
the case are understood to be these:
Some time ago brother naval
officer entrusted to the latter bond for
safe keeping. This it is said was folded
up and placed in an envelope in the naval
officers desk. One day when sending off
official documents the naval officer acct
dentally slipped one of them into the en-
velope containing the bond, and the off.
cial document was pasted together with
the bond. 1t could not be traced for a
long time, but was afterwards discovered
in the possession of tailor at Herkimer.
The owner of the bond, when he heard
this, brought suit against the tailor for its
recovery, and the present charge of per-
jury against the naval officer grows out of
the evidence given in the case. The
friends of the latter declare that the pros
ecution is malicious, and say that he de-
sires full investigation. A promin ent
and impartial officer of the court also tel
egraphed to the effect that the announce
ment of an indictment does Latin wicked
injustice.
The Horse Plague.
The horse plague has interfered seri-
ously with car travel to-day on East
Broadway. The Third, Sixth and Eighth
avenue roads do not pretend to run their
regular trips, and the Fifth avenue stages
are making theirs at considerable inter-
walls. The disease is increasing.
Cholera Infantum.
Cholera infsntum is prevailing to a
great extent in Brooklyn. The hot
weather has developed a new form of
cholera, resembling dysentery and yellow
fever in its symptoms. So far three cases
only have occurred. The symptoms in
all are the same-excessive purging, high
fever, bloody discharges, indicative of
violent dysentery, and the black vomit
which accompanies yellow fever.
The Threatened Riot of IRISH Ma
ti0naIists.
A Convention of the Irish societies
held secret meeting this evening to con-
slider what action they should take in re-
gard to the anticipated Orange procession
on the 18th inst. 1t is understood that
the Convention was in favor of first in
vOking the interference of the Mayor,
and then if the procession was allowed
to attack and break it up.

A Wedding. Ring Discovered in q
Goldfish in Newfoundland In Iden-
titled by an English Family.


A remarkable statement comes from
Newfoundland concerning the recovery of
of wedding ring in the enIails of a
Goldfish. 1t is given in the following dis
patch to the New York Herald:
Il may be remembered that a few
months ago a story was current IN
the New York journals to the effect that
a signet ring, bearing the monogram ''P.
B. had been discovered by a fisher
man in the entrails Of Goldfish caught in
Trinity Bay, N. f. The fisherman, John
Potter, kept the plizei in his possession IN
til the 12th inst, when he was requested
in a letter from the Colonial Secre-
tary to send or bring the ring to st.
Johns, as he had received letters from a
family named Burnam, in Poole, Eng
land, saying that they had reason TO feel
certain that the ring once belonged to
Pauline Burnam, who was one of the
several hundred passengers of the Allen
steamship Anglo Saxon, which was
wrecked off Chance Cove On. F.) In
1861, the said Pauline Burnam being a
relative of theirs.
The fisherman in whose possession the
ring was, brought it to St. Johns and pre-
sented it at the Colonial SecreIary's office.
He was requested to take seat and wait
awhile. After about half an hours delay
the man of the fish was introduced to an
elegantly dressed gentleman, a Dir. Bur
nam, whom the Colonial Secretary had
sent for on the fisherman's arrival.
The ring was Immediately identified by
Dir. Burnam, who called it his mothers
wedding ring, which she had always
worn since her marriage in Huddersfield,
England, in the year 1916.
The ring was accordingly given up to
Mr.. Barnum, who rewarded the fisher
man with bank notes amounting to tWen-
ty pounds sterling.
