PEORIA, ILL.,, May 28.-Joce Blakesly,
of this city, has arrived home from his

cling companion, Mr.. Burnham, In
Europe.
HANNIBAL, Mo-, May 28.-A dispatch
just received from Palmyra states that
two women have been arrested for the
murder of an infant, whose body was
found in South river, of this county, q

LANCASTER, Pa, May 26.-The Repub-
lican State Convention, which meets
here at noon, is attracting numerous Wis
itors. There will probably be dispute
for the denomination of Governor Har-
tranft. The contest over State Treas
urer is divided. AS the thing now stands
the principal parties to the contest are
Hon. B. B. Strange, OF Tioga, at present
a Senator from that county; Henry
Rouse, of Erie, who has been brought to
the front by the friends of Hon. John
Allison, and Hon. G. Dawson Coleman,
of Lebanon, late Senator from that coun-
ty, and present member of the State
Board of Charities. These gentlemen
will probably receive the largest vote on
tered among Hon. A. Wilcox, OF Elk
county; Col. Mitchell, Of Yenango; Hon.
~. Potter, of Cleartield; b. Witnser, ol
Philadelphia; q. B. McKreight, of Bucks,
and, others whose names have not been

Pacific Mail.

NEW YORK, May 26.-A meeting of the
Pacific Mail Directors is in session 70.
day considering measures to De adopted
In view of the fact that the Panama Rail-
road Directors refuse to negotiate for a
resumption of contract with the Pacific
Mail, which terminates July 9th. An

THAT SUIT AGAINST TWEED.
The motion for a bill of particulars in
the six million suit against VIM. M.
Tweed, was to have been argued In the
Supreme Court Chamber yesterday. On
the case being called, Judge Lawrence
stated that he considered himself dis
qualified from hearing the motion, on the
ground of having been consulted as
counsel in regard to the Keyer bills. He
therefore set the case down for the first
Monday in June, when another Judge
will hold Court.
AN INSURANCE IRREGULARITY.
There is considerable excitement in
the insurance offices here, arising from
an alleged deficiency in the extensive
agency of Cheppu, Peck & Howell, oil
100 Broadway, Of which firm the senior
member Is now absentin Europe.
They have connections with several
buDbIaHtlal companies III OLuef clLleS,
including the Fire Association Of Phila.
delphia and Lancaster of Pennsylvania
The capital at their control is judged to
be nearly half million dollars, and as.
sets from two to three millions. The
concern has ranked unusually we'll. II
is said that Cheppu has been profuse in
his expenditures, personal and other
wise. This has resulted in deficiency
amounting to about $4,000. A reorgan.
fzation Of the agency is talked of.
THE TIMES
this morning, in an article on the third
party revival, concludes that for a re
newal of the Cincinnati movement there
ts absolutely no practical excuse. Gradu
a1ly, as the time draws near for the
opening OF the canvass, the Republican
and Democratic organizations will pre-
pare to enter the field with candidates
and platforms representing the average
purpose of each, and the country will bt
divided between them. Any third party
next year would be an idle experiment
resulting in sure failure.

ADDITIONAL LOCAL..

ANGELINA SMITH, an unfortunate
woman, about thirty-one years of age,
the wife Of Jacob Smith, cooper, who
resides at 1876 West Third street, and
with whom she was continually in
trouble, was seen yesterday evening
about seven o'clock by two laborers,
named John Collins and Billy Hall, to
jump into the river at the foot OF Race
street. The men could not save the
woman, but they succeeded in obtaining
her body after fishing for it some time.
She had short time before visited
Dixon's cooper shop, and, as was her
custom, was excessively drunk. Here
she upbraided her husband with being
unfaithful to her, and attempted to kill
him with butcher knife. After which
she left for the river with the above re-
suit. Coroner Maley was notified and
held an inquest few hours later. A
verdict was returned OF death iron
suicide by drowning.

At Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, on
Friday evening last, during the singing
OF the second hymn, alter the second
verse had been concluded, Mr.. Beecher
stopped the music and said, "Please
sing in time. You all appear to be sing
ing, and am glad to see that you are
making melody on his own account, for
getful that there are flYe hundred other
voices around him. So we have all
through the room different eddies of
song. Please cling with one ear to the
piano." Thus admonished harmony
reigned and the hymn was concluded.

How Fish May Be Improved.

It is now well known that the rich,
delicate flavor of the white-fsh in MANY
Western lakes comes from a celery-fed
parasite on which it lives. This celery
is the marine plant that gives to the can
vas-back duck it's glory among connois-
seurs of the table. Here is a good hint
in the line OF fish culture. Why may
not the common varieties be 1aade table
deicacies, for instance, by putting them
on mild diet of Worcestershire sauce
before they are served? It is the creo-
sote and gas parasite, however-the
deadly refuse of oil and paper mills
that should be first looked to. CLAIMS
and oysters and even fish are thus being
foully impregnated and sometimes killed.
The fish of the Genesee river were recent
ly found so tainted with kerosene from
oil mills as to render them unfit for food.
A similar condition in theriver Iser, pro-
ducing an appeal from the fishermen of
Munich to the government, has called
out an eminent chemist, Prof. A. Wag-
ner, who shows by experiments, that in
water with one per cent. of gas refuse,
fish die In six minutes, with one-half per
cent. they die in thirty minutes, while
one-tenth per cent. kills the hardest
river fish in twenty-four hours. A par
tial guard against this, the professor sug-
gests, is to allow a gradual discharge Of
refuse into the stream, instead Of the
wholesale dumping now practiced.
