He Got What He Deserved.

Quite an amusing little episode occurred
in front of the Courthouse last evening. A
ward hummer named John Conley had been
drinking pretty freely, and got into fight
ing mood. Said he to a gentleman with
whom he had heen conversing: "Shall go
and lick that mar?' at the same time
pointing to an old gentleman standing
across the street. YES" said the gentle
man addressed.
Conley crossed over and whirled the old
man (he is 10 years of age) around, but
did not strike; quick as lightning young
man in the employ of Hellferich & Sons,
struck out from the shoulder, and Conley
went to the pavement, stretched at full
length. When he recovered from the
shock" he took "Rarus gait for quar-,
ters more secure. Fortunately the old gen
tleman was not much hurt.

New YORK, July 24-On Wednesdays
and Saturdays Jewish visitors to Coney
Island are most numerous. Yesterday
Jewish faces were plentiful among the
thousands that thr0nged the hotel balco-
MES and surrounded the music stand at
Manhattan Beach. At first it seemed as
though Christians and Israelites were
nearly equally divided, but later in the
afternoon, either because of fairer esti-
mate or because the Jews had scattered
over the island, it was seen that they num-
bered only about one-third of the persons
in the assemblage.
President Corbin says he objects only to
those Jews whose manners are offensive to
nice people. The Company pays Levy $3.50
week, and one of the stockholders is Jul
lien Meyers. Some persons have written
threatening letters to Corbin, but on the
other hand he has received letters from
many conspicuous and wealthy persons ap-
proving his action. The adverse criticism,

Further Particulars Of that Assassination
Conspiracy.

A few weeks ago the daily papers OF
this city contained the account OF con-
spiracy hatchedi in this city, to kill one Hum
phries in Amsterdam. Chief Wappenstein
wrote to the Chief Of Police in Amsterdam
asking for information in regard to the
matter This morning he received the fol-
lowing reply to his communication, which
explains the whole business:
AMSTERDAM, July II, 1879.
ITO the Superintendent of Police, Cincinnati:
"DEAR SIR-I have the honor to acknowl-
edge the receipt of your esteemed favor OF
the 9th of June, with a slip of newspa-
per containing extracts of letter from Ed
ward B. Humphries. In reply l
have the honor to state that l
called on the Hon. ID. Eckstein,
u. S. Consul here, with whom | had fire.
ouent communication about the above
named person, and who told me that he
fully informed the Department OF State,
at Washington, d. c., about the character
and dealings of that man Humphres. AS
to the facts referred to in the letter OF Hum
phries relating to Wiilin, concerning his
opposition and battle with the policemen
here, they are true, but ] am convinced
that the supposition of Humphries that
Willin has come here for numbering him,
is rather ridiculous, as Willin is not citi-
zen of the United States, but German who
lives in Buchigen (Baden), and who,
l believe, only came here at the
request, by letter, of Humphreys, to
investigate the inheritance claims which
was put in the hands Of Humphries by the
family of Willin, in the United States. As
Willin has proved by his actions to be imam
insane condition of mind it is impossible
for me to put any question to him about
his relation with Humphries Further
beg to refer myself about the information
on Humphres to the letter of the United
States Consul here to the Department OF
State. Yours Respectfully,
&c. VAN DoLsBuRGH, Chief of Police"

Catherine Hayes, girl seventeen
years DID, was arrested on a charge of as
sault and battery on the children of Mar
garet Falk, in Delhi. The girl was ar
raigned before Squire Runck, who bound
her over to the Grand Jury in the sum OF
800. 1t is alleged that the Squire refused
to take the bail required, and even threat
ened violence to Mrs. Hayes, the mother of
the girl. The case in itself was of a trivial
nature. 1t is said that the Squire will be
brought to account for his threat.
