A Sensational Disclosure a. LYNN.
Mass.


The arrest of DR.. William Duncan
Corken of Lynn for abortion has resulted
in great expose Of organized wicked
ness. Corken is an Englishman and was
formerly, it is said, a Congregationalist
preacher. After Corken was arrested
the police made search of his premises,
spending number of hours in the work.
The revelations they say arc altogether
too horrible for publication and consti-
tute one of the most startling disclosures
in recent criminal annals.
They found a large supply Of obscenity
in the shape Of pictures and other ma
terial, together with the names of several
hundred women belonging in Boston,
Lynn and numerous other places all GER
tifying in highly singular and original
manner that the owners of the said
names had been the doctors victims in
the malpractice line, with the day and
date of action. The police say that they
are satisfied that there are, 500 of these
names. There is a tremendous flutter-
ing among the women whose names are
enrolled on the catalogue, which the
city marshal has locked up in his safe.

ThurlOW Weeds Great Wealt h


New York Tribune: The property left
by Thurlow Weed is estimated to be
worth from 81 900, 900 to 81, 100000. Only
a small portion of it consists of real es-
tate. The bulk of bis estate is in first
class railroad securities, although he
owned considerable amount of bank
stocks, etc. His fortune was largely de-
rived from the accretions of invested
capital. A prominent Wall street man,
familiar to large degree with Mr. Weeds
business affairs, said yesterday: Its
not until he had reached the age of
fifty that Mr.. Weed seemed
to realize the value of
money. Before that time he was almost
Indifferent on the subject tofmoney-mak-
ing. His fortune was accumulated after
he had passed the time when man
usually takes a keen interest in the Ques-
ton of bettering his financial condition.
l should say that when Mr.. Weed died
his income had been ranging at about
$40, 900 year. I consider a mans in
come to be the best test OF what he is
worth, and therefore prefer to use
that figure rather than to estimate what
the principal of this property is worth.
His estate is Of a character that can read
lily be converted into cash.

Defence of Mr.. Parnell.

A recent cable dispatch stated that Mr..
Parnel had evicted three of his tenants
for non-payment Orient, thus doing what
other Irish landlords are frequently shot
for doing. The matter, however, is ex-
planned in this way: The tenant whom
Mr.. Parnell has evicted is the secretary
of the Emergency Committee in his dis
trict. He has his land at . comparative
~ low rent, sub-letting it at a higher rent
to three other tenants. Not satisfied
with this, he has paid Mr.. Parnell no
rent for four years, and has recently pro-
posed to evict his own sub-tenants. At
this point Mr.. Parnell determined to
evict the middleman; but on account of
q legal technically he found that he
would have to include the names Of the
three Bub.tenants on the record.

The American flag as matter of fact
has almost disappeared from the ocean.
In 1850 we carried 69.5 per cent. of the
total foreign trade; in 1865 we carried
only 27.2 per cent. In 1876 we carried
1874 per cent; in 1882 we carried only
1876 per cent. We pay considerably

New Orleans Short of Rain Water

New Orleans Short of Rain Water.
New Orleans is or was suffering from
great scarcity of water. The Times-D Dem
ocrat says: 'During the past
summer the cry all over the city was,
Too much water. When will it ever
stop raining2' Now the cry is reversed
to Give US water. When will it ever
rainr For weeks and weeks past not a
drop Of rain has. fallen, although at
different times lately the threatening
appearance Of the SKY seemed to indicate
that the much needed water would be
supplied through the medium of copious
raintalls. But the people have waited
in vain, ana now throughout the city
they are actually suffering for the want
OF water. Cisterns are running dry. and
the great majority OF people who do not
possess the means Of obtaining river
water are placed in very Distressing
condition." Not the least unpleasant
feature of the situation is the painful sus-
picion entertained OF the milkman and
bakers. who are charged with using filthy
water in their business. ~ r, -

High Toned scandal at St. Louis

AA46A AOAAN~3 AC~&SAA~A&SA &NO Nv AIOl&1o
On Wednesday night at St. Louis
Rush H. Tevis, we'll known merchant,
made a deadly assault on one Frank T.
Iglehart, whom he found Oh the street
with his wife in suspicious locality.
Iglehart fell ut the first fire, and was
picked up and taken home by his COM
panion in sin, who then went to her own
unwelcome home, and after a stormy
Interview separated from her husband.
The Post-Dispatch gives the following
story Of the affairs: Mrs. Tevis is a lady
well.known in st. Louis society. She is
quite young, with an exceedingly attrac-
tive and intelligent face. Of the order
best described as red blonde, and her
figure is instinct with grace. she does
not look to be over twenty, but is about
q, and she has been the charming
center of u very bright circle of st. Louis
society for several years. About
four years ago she was married
to Mr.. Tevis, who was lately
merchant in the city, but is now connec-
ted with the extensive dry goods house
Of Graw. Hardigan & Co., and son of
John c. Tevis, and old, respected citizen
of St. Louis and a relation Of the Califor-
MIA Tevises. Everyone who knew
them supposed their home was a very
happy one; but for some time past there
has been coldness between them, grow
ing out of an anonymous letter received
by the husband, This was explained,
however, and Mr.. Tevis seemed to be
sat, fled that dece ption was used.

ing and growing. What was it? Not
lions, surely. NJ. had expressed wish
to enter the lion country, but had been
told there were none nearer than the
Algerian frontier, quite away from our
present route, and that even there they
were not plentiful. 1t appeared i'm
probable that they had come into the
interior of the regency out of compli-
ment to us. No, it could not be lions.
Besides, the noise seemed to be quite
close to us. We listened again, and
seemed to catch a familiar note. Obi
of course, camelsl We ought to have
recognized the sound with which we
have become tolerably familiar in
Egypt; but we had never before been
suddenly aroused by it at $50 a. M,
nor had we ever heard it on quite such
grand scale. Descending to the low
er story by the bright African starlight,
we found two large courtyards, sur
rounded by open arcades, tenanted by
caravan which had arrived during
the night. The drivers were rousing
and reloading their camels, and many
of the latter were objecting to being
afoot again so early. Whoever has
heard the harsh roar of a camel when
angry or when calling to its cempan-
ions can imagine the effect produced
by couple of dozen or so in an echo

arches.

The Jeannefte.

The latest news in reference to the
crew of the lost steamer Jeanette in
dicates that it will not be possible for
Lieut.. De Long to reach st. Petersburg
before the month of March or April.
The telegraph wire ends ct Irkoutsk,
which is 5000 miles from the mouth
of the Lena, by way of Yakoutsk.
No further news can therefore be ex-
pected from the Jeanette within
about three months. IN the meantime
all has been done to bring Lieut.. De
Long and his men home that money
and the power of the great govern
ments of the United States and Russia
can effect. Until the arrival of De
Long. at least in st. Petersburg, it will
be useless to attempt to solve the ques-
tion of what was done by the jean
nette between September, 1879, and
June, 1881. 1t is barely possible that
the ship was on its return fro.n some
point nearer the pole, where it was
caught in the ice in June, but the dis
patch of Lieut.. Melville, though brief,
does not give much hope that the jean
nette had gone much further to the
north than where she was abandoned.
Mr.. Frelinghuysen telegraphed the
thanks of the president to the govern
ment of Russia for its generous action
in advancing the necessary funds to
render assistance to the members of
the Jeanette expedition; also author
izing Mr.. Hoffman, our representative
to Russia, to draw upon the depart
ment of state in Washington for the
amount necessary to reimburse the ad-
vances of the car.

Rather Enthusiastic,

The Wilmington (Del.) Daily Rep,tb-
lican lately contained the following
item of popular interest: DIR. J. F.
Speck, who is connected with the Will
mington EUery Eoening, speaks rather
enthusiastically of st. Jacobs Oil. DIR.
Speck states that he uses the Oil in his
family as household remedy, sort
of universal panacea for all aches and
pains, and has always found it to act
most happily. His attention was called
to it by the many testimonials in its
favor, and he one day used it upon
himself for sore throat. Two applica-
tions were sufficient to effect cure.
He also used it upon his little girl for
sore throat. with gratifying success.
The same child had scarlet fever this
winter which left the tendOns of one
leg much contracted. The little pratt
tier couldn't walk without assistance
and suffered much inconvenience and
pain. Several applications of st.
Jacobs Oil restored her limb to its nor
NAL condition and she has not expert
enced any trouble since. DIR. Speck
states that he also seen the Oil act
charmingly in toothache. He thinks st.
Jacobs Oil is a sterling remedy, and
does not hesitate to recommend it for
rheumatism, etc.
