Baltimore Americana
The New York Times gives the par
ticulars Of a sensation that has re-
Gently transpired in Boston by which
nearly a hundred of the most fashion
able ladies became the victims of a
blaekmailing operation. A year ago a
fashionable dressmaker of the Hub
employed an attractive young woman
whose specially it was to call at the
residences Of her customers and cut
and fit their dresses. Miss Annie, as
she was called, became a great favor
ite, and and no dress was considered
complete unless it had the touch of
her artistic fingers in taking in" here
and letting out" there. 1t was noted
that she had note book which she
handled as deity as Julian Hardy"
the reporter in Fatinitza, and was
constantly making memorandums of
batting and whalebone required to fill
out the ideal curves and Irregularities
of surface constituting the highest
type of full dressed beauty. These
memorandums, she explained, were
necessary to prevent her losing the
recollection Of any sudden inspirations
as the delicate insertion of gusset, or
the bold cutting of a shoulder piece
on the bias. The business of the en-
ploying dressmaker, who had the good
fortune of employing Miss Annie, in
creased rapidly. 1t became test of
true culture among Boston ladies to
have their dresses made exclusively at
her establishments, and the result
was an apparent increase of BOstonian
beauty, both in breadth and thickness.
without much increase in weight.
One dark and dreadful day that will
be remembered by the patronesses Of
Miss Annie, each of the ladies re-
ceived at home one Of her cards. and
was told that a young gentleman wish
ed to see them in the parlor Each
lady had an interview with young
man who was instantly recognized as
the Miss Annie, and was, Of course,
terribly surprised. The wicked young
man VINO had so successfully mas
queraded as a dressmaker's assistant
explained with much apparent peni-
tence that he had been detected and
discharged, and that his sole desire
was to hide himself in California. To
do this money was required and he
presented a small bill for materials
which he had furnished at his own
expense. Cotton was charged for at
the rate Of So a pound, and whalebone
at So. On payment of the bill he
would instantly rend from his note
book the memoranda relating to her
dresses and depart on the first train
for the Pacific slope. The story goes
that he made a complete round Of his
former customers, and that his collec-
tions exceeded $1,000 from the terrified
fair ones.

southern Coiton Claims.

A Washington correspondent writes
that among the important matters to
be brought to the attention of con
gress this winter will be proposition
to enlarge the jurisdiction of the
Court of Claims, with view of dis
posing of the cotton funds held in
trust by the government. They are of
two classes, one known as the Gap
tured and Abandoned Property
Fund," amounting to about $12,O00.-
600 unrestored, and the other the
proceeds Of cotton captured and sold
after the war, amounting to about
@,OOO,0O0. The former was created
by an act Of congress OF March, 1863,
and was placed under the control of
the Court of Claims, to remain sub
jeot to its disposal for two years after
the close of the war, to be restored
only on proof Of loyalty and owner
ship. BY decision of the Supreme
Court in several instances against the
United States, the question of loyalty
was totally disregarded, and of own
ersnlp only considered.
Within two years after the war nearly
Sl5,OO0,000 were restored, in accord
ance with the act. The remaining
$4,000, 600, rightful claims, could not
be presented within that time because
Of the multitude of fraudulent claims,
and consequently, after the limitation
expired there was no recourse save
through the Southern Claims commits
sion. Little, if anything, in this line,
has been accomplished through the
commission. The money is in the
treasury, and there being no intention
or desire to confscate it, the most
equitable settlement possible, it is
generally agreed, must be through
some competent, impartial tribunal.
Since the Court of Claims is of un-
questioned loyalty, there would be no
danger of an ill-advised, wrongful dis
tribution Of the money. SOutherners
merely ask for opportunity to recover
possession of their own property. A
bill providing for the disbursement of
these trust funds was presented at the
last congress, but the report upon it
was withheld, Whenever presented
it should be discussed and disposed of
entirely upon its merits,

A Father Avenges Ills Outraged
Daughter.

SHREVEPORT La, October H.
Intelligence is received here of a
dreadful affair near Weatherford, in
Parker county, Texas, some twenty
six miles west Of Dallas. The daugh-
ter of Mr.. James Campbell was ter
ribly outraged some two months ago
by an unknown party, although sus-
picion pointed to a man named John
Booth. Whether this suspicion was
well founded or not, Booth has had to
pay the penalty with his life, and his
body has been discovered perforated
with bullet holes. A warrant was
sworn out, and James Campbell, IA
ther of the outraged girl, is arrested
on the charge of killing Booth. 1t is
not necessary to add that Campbell
has the sympathies of the people, and
he will undoubtedly escape punish
ment,

Lively Times at LeadvlIIe.

DENVER, COL, October 17.-Tri-
bune specials from Leadville state that
two of the stage coaches were stopped
just at the city limits by mounted
highwaymen last night. All the pas

were robbed. All the robbers, four in
number, were captured within a few
hours, and threats were freely made
of lynching them.
John Monahan, alias Brockey, a
bunko steerer, has been hunting
Charles Campbell, a gambler, for sew

account of a woman who had previous

HE ACTS WISELY.

Up to the present time Governor
Marks has declined to call the legisla-
ture together to take action regarding
the imposition of proposed tax upon
the people here for the alleged pur-
pose of constructing sewers. The
subject of increased taxation is a ten
der one and no hasty action is neces-
sary to lay it on; therefore the gov
ernor has acted with prudence. Like
other public improvements, sewers
must be built, but they cannot be fin.
ished in a season. The suggestions
made at the meetings of our absent
citizens, held in other cities, to put a
sewer tax of from four to seven per
cent upon the people of Memphis will
find few indorsers here. This com
munity cannot stand burdens of such
magnitude.

THE GREENBACK BOOM.

The election returns in Iowa show
heavy falling off in the Greenback
vote throughout the State. At many
points where large gains were expected
only few votes cast. In speaking Of
the defeat of the Democrats in Ohio,
the Philadelphia Record says: The
Democrats deserve the thrashing they
have received for standing out for
financial heresies which the country
has outgrown. This is the death-knell
of the Ohio idea. The soft-money
lunacy, even when backed by respect.
ability, cannot stand the logic of busi-
ness prosperity and big crops. And
the Times, Of the same city, strikes at
the dead issue in this way: "The Ohio
idea ought to be allowed to stay dead
this time. 1t has a great deal Of
impudence, but it certainly cant have
enough to attempt to impose itself
upon anybody any more.

Too Many Presidents.

AhAiduNAPula AAmessl
The opinion of Mr.. Murat Halstead
is that the Republicans will not be
able to secure the next Presidency.
The Democrats have now got all those
advantages for counting their man in
which the Republicans had when they
put Hayes into the position to which
he had not been elected and the opin-
ion of others besides Mr.. Halstead is
that they will use it. The great Gin
cinnati editor doesn't rely much on the
nonsense that Grant would be able to
frighten them out of their determine
tion, or that there would be any dis
turbance of the peace any more than
there was in the winter succeeding the
last Presidential contest. When it
comes to counting the vote next time
the Republicans will likely begin to
realize that they have furnished the
Democrats with altogether too many
handy precedents.

CHICAGO, October 1.-THE excite
ment on change continues undated.
This was the first real bear day for
nearly a month, and prices were beaten
down with some difficulty even to-day.
Toward noon November wheat struck
Sl.22b, the pinnacle point of the year,
and November corn went to 44c. Then
came series of disturbing rumors. j.
X. Fisher sold nearly million and a
half bushels of corn at about 43lc.
and other prominent operators seemed
determined to rend prices. Wheat
broke steadily until $1.2SI was reach
ed, and then reaction took place.
The closing in the afternoon was
Sl.20b for November wheat and 4l@c
for November corn. The latter had
sold as low as Ale. But the greatest
interest was manifested in the alley
where bucket shops have hitherto
flourished, but lately seem to have
gone under a cloud. The shop owned
by Mr.. Doxey suspended for a little
while, but General Stiles, who had
made some $4,000 from that institu.
tion and others during the rise, step
ped up and offered to furnish means
to continue, and the game went on.
The public produce exchange stopped
trading for awhile, but only in order
to prevent panic and disaster, and late
in the day resumed again. The pro-

considerable comment, and it was
stated in behalf of the bears that one

cy is now afoat for Liverpool. There

operators in Chicago tonight, whose
financial standing may be ruined or
assured through to-morrow's develop

sherman,s Only Law Case.
Cincinnati Commercially

Leavenworth is the old home of
Sherman. He lived there and prac-
ticed law that is, put out shingle
and waited very patiently and dismal
ly for clients. He got case in court
once, the only one he ever tried in his
life. 1t was a legal controversy about
little bull worth about SIS. The
law and the facts were all on Sher-
man side, and he went into court with
a large number of law books and a
long brief prepared with sleepless
care and great diligence. A little
spike haired lawyer, with complex
ion like sand hill and breath laden
with fumes of stale grog, came in on
the other side and won the case.
Sherman picked up his books and
walked out of court, swearing he
would never try another lawsuit in
Kansas and he never did. This is a
true story. Sherman admits it HIM

Vacancy Wanted for an Ohio
MAN.

Cincinnati Commercial Special.
WASHINGTON, October 17.-Upon
the Presidents return there will be a
dead set made upon him to get him to
remove Captain Phillip, one of the
three district commissioners. Phillip
is rich and not popular, and owes a
good deal of his unpopularity to his
bungling management of the water
department. John r. French has
assurances that he is to succeed Phil
lip, provided the latter is removed.
French is an Ohio man, and it is.
thought proper that he should have an
Office. He came here from Ohio in
1861, as a clerk in the treasury depart
ment, went to North Carolina in 1864
as a treasury agent, was elected to
congress, and afterward made ser
geant-at-arms of the senate, from
which position he was deposed to
make way for Bright, of Indiana,
when the Democrats captured the
capital. If Phillip is removed, it is
likely French will be appointed.
