A leading Conkling man threatens direful
things to reporter of the Philadelphia Times
He says : "Don't you believe that Roscoe
Conkling has fired off all his ammunition
yet I know that Mr.. Conkling has regretted
ever since that he did not do as he was pre-
pared to do at the time the electoral count
was before Congress, and denounce that infa-
NOUS steal and all connected with it, and he
is not The ONLY one who regrets it, Hundreds
of Republicans in this State-and was one
of them-were prepared to act with him.
Well, Mr.. Conkling has now in his possession
such positive proof of the corruption of
Blaine and Garfield, and especially of the
former, that were he to make it public no de-
cent man could longer consent to stick to
this administration or declare himself its
friend"
- The most intense excitement prevailed on
Tuesday of last week, at Clonmel, Ireland,
where sales of farms had been announced to
take place. At early morning several hundred
well-mounted and disciplined horsemen, wear
ing green sashes, preceded by hands and follow
ed by an immense procession of people, para
ded the town. All the streets leading to the
court house were lined with police and mill
tary. All shops and business places were
closed. The sales passed off quietly and
things went we'll until toward six o'clock, when
a cry was raised that local clergyman had
been arrested. A shout went forth to rescue
the priest. A rush was at once made on the
police, but was repelled. The riot act was
then read, and the hussars charged and re-
charged the mob, who hurled volley after
volley of stones at the military, inaicting
upon many of them severe injuries. Several
policemen and civilians were also injured.

Notes from the Camp Ground.

1t looks decidedly winterish here to-day.
Wednesday, as there is slight covering of
snow on the ground, but the air is warm and
feels like spring. As a general thing it looks
very much as it did here two months ago.
Mr.. Brann has raised his house and turned it
so it now faces the south, added four feet to
its length. built a chimney, and otherwise
improved it, The Office is now in the north
end-A few cottages have been raised and
improved. The most noticeable are on Lib
erty Park. Mr.. Plummer of Brunswick will
have a very neat cottage when finished
Brunswick people will build several cottages
in the spring. and it is probable the Gardiner
society will build a parsonage The Super
intendent is now getting the wood for another
season. The seats have been housed and will
be as fresh and new as ever. All these things
make work, but there is little else done, as
the grounds have all been cleaned up. and
now all that is required is to NOW the brush
that springs up each year, and as the grass
comes in the work is less each year.-The
committee will have one more meeting to
close up the business of the year.-The stock
of the Association has nearly all been taken,
less than $500 remaining. Any information
regarding the same can be obtained by ad-
dressing the treasurer at Gardiner. 5.

Masonic Hall at Winthrop was searched
recently. Not only that but every member
of the order will he very glad to know that
il was a false report. Why the story should
have got such wide publicity, being false, is
a mystery and why some of those who were
present when the search was made should

1t is q notorious fact that man cannot go in

emporium" to be shaved without the opera

ly enhanced if he should dye his moustache
or have his whiskers arranged in another
style. On Tuesday guest at one OF our
leading hotels had his hair cut by an adjacent
barber. Yesterday he submitted himself 10
the same artist to be shaved, and after the
work had been done the barber said: Your
hair is very long, sir, and should be cut. "
"But had it cut only yesterday" said the
customer. "Ah, indeed" said the OPERATOR
after moments embarrassment, but 1t was
badly done, and is very ragged. You net.

you cut it yourself!" exclaimed the customer.

tory which is suffering for rain, or thu
condition of the crops south OF lndianapo
lis. With the exception OF three or foul
| counties IN the southeastern part OF thu
State so severe is the drought that the
corn crop will hardly be worth harvesting
and many fields have already been cut up
for fodder; and north Of this city the
drought extends abovt 16 miles. North OF
this there has been more rain, yet not sur
ficient to 30 saturate the ground that ii
will yield fair crop. On some low
grounds, however, q good field of corn is
to be seen occasionally. The northern
part OF the State, however, has suffered
much less for rain than has the western
and southern part, and the same is sid to
be true of Illinois. Railroad men state
that on the Wabash Road, between Peru
and St Louis, field of corn that will yield
q half crop is hardly to be seen, while
there is strip of territory running along
on the indianapolis, Decatur and Spring
field Road, some 40 miles, where there
will be very fair crop. Further south,
on the indianapolis and ST. Louis, Wanda.
liza, and Ohio and Mississippi Roads, only
on the low grounds will the corn be worth
harvesting. The grass and vegetables
share worse fare than does the corn,
they literally being bnrned up. On the
