BROOKLYN, n. Y, September l2-Ex-
Gov. Luke Blackburn, of Kentucky, who
is guest of the Rev. DIR. Talmage, was
interviewed yesterday by a reporter
When DIR. Talmage was in the South re-
Gently he was entertained at Frankfort by
Gov. Blackburn, and strong friendship
has sprung up between them.
When asked in regard to the political
situation in the South, Gov. Blackburn
replied that at present everything was in
allegiance. As to the Presidential outlook
he was at a loss what to say, but thought
that the Democratic candidate would be n
stern man. All were anxiously watching
the result of the Ohio election, and ii
Hoadly was elected, he thought he would
be the most popular candidate for Presi-
dent next fall. II not IIoadly, then Nc
Donald, OF Indiana, would probably be the
favorite candidate in the South. The
man, whoever he be, must be from the
West.
''The Sun, this morning, favors the nom
ination of William S. Holman, of Indiana
Would he be popular man?'
II certainly don't think he would. !
can't see any reason why he should be
put forward, and think he would be a very
weak man."
"How is Cleveland regarded in the
South? ?''
'Ffem the fact of the immense vote
given him last tall, we look upon him as 6
strong man to have as tbs nomination fol

Opinions of the French Press

PARIS, September 13.-The Journal des
Detats, editorially, expresses the opinion
that the basis of negotiations between
Challemel Lacour and Marquis Tseng are
less favorable to France than the treaty
made by Bouree at Pekin. The DebGts
also says the Chinese should be given to
understand that the desire of France for
peace has certain limits.
The Figaro states that Lord Lyons,
British Ambassador at Paris, had a long
interview with Challemel Lacour yester-
day, at which he impressed upon the
French Minister of Foreign Affairs the
danger to European interests should war
result from the Tonquin imbroglio.
1t is announced that Challemel Lacour,
Minister of Foreign Affairs, will shortly
take furlough, probably extending to
October, and that Prime Minister. Ferry

The sanitary superintendent of New
York admits the prevalence in that city
of typhoid fever, and says: ave do not
know now what causes operate to send us
in one year an epidemic of typhoid fever,
another an outbreak of cerebro-spinal
meningitis, and in another diphtheria or
dysentery. No doubt there are meteoro-
logical conditions upon which these phe-
nomena in a measure, ii not wholly, de-
pend, and toward better understanding
of this problem we are working by tracing
every feature of the disease as it presents
itself to u.s." We expect the superintend-
ent will continue to trace until he finds

AS result OF the completion of the
Northern Pacific railroad, the people OF
st. Paul predict that in ten years their
population will be fully 100000. A CORE
spondent OF the Baltimore SIN believes
this possible, and says that, though st.
Paul nor Minneapolis are much over a
quarter of a century old, they yet number
nearly 100000 inhabitants each. As an
evidence of the progress of manufactures,
he cites the fact that Minneapolis grinds
and ships more -four than any other city
in the world, and mentions a boot and
shoe factory which turned out last year
81 400, 900 worth of work.

The will of the Count de Chambord
which was recently opened and read,
makes no mention OF Don Carlos or his
sons. This disposes of the hopes of the
Spanish pretender that his son would be
named as Chambord's heir, and thus there
would be two pretenders in the family,
one for the French and one for the Span
ish throne. The Count de Paris remains
the undisputed possessor of the Bourbon
claim to the throne of France, uniting in
his own proper person the Orleans and
Legitimist branches of the family. Sen

prominent commission merchant and So
ciety man, with Miss Maggie, daughter OF
Robert Spratt, and also a wealthy commits
sion merchant occupying high social po-
sition. Redfern is the son OF a leading
light in the English turf, and settled in
Buffalo some years ago. While there he
entered into several heavy deals on the
Chicago market and lost heavily. While
there he succeeded in winning the heart
and hand of the adopted daughter of
Chandler ). Wells, a winsome lady, and
the belle OF the city. Two or three years
ago Redfern met with several reverses
in speculating, and removed to this CITY,
bringing his wife with him, and occupied
large and fashionable house in the resi-
dent portion of the city. Here he received
the entree to the best society and soon be-
came so popular that no social event was
complete without him. He was a regular
attendant at the Government House re-
ceptlons: In the ordinary course of busi-
ness Redfern became acquainted with the
father of his victim, and received an in
PRODUCTION into the family, which con-
sisted of fifteen motherless daughters
and one son. The families became very
intimate, and for the last twelve months
Mrs. Redfen never appeared on the
street, at the theater, or any public enter
tainment without Maggie Spratt and her
twin sister. This at first did not cause any
suspicion, but after some months, various
circumstances, trivial in themselves, arose,
which gave the tongue of the gossip food
for whispers that all was not right between
Redfern and Maggie. The position of the
parties i'll society, however, was such that
the rumors We're treated as idle gossip bv
some, and whenever casually referred to
in the presence of their friends, were in
dlgnantly denied. The unsuspectinc wife
was awakened to the treachery of the
friend, to whom she had confided every
secret, by the sudden disappearance of
MIR. Redfern from home about a week ago.
At the same time the Spratt family was
thrown into great excitement by the
sudden departure of Maggie, and for some
days no trace of her could be found.
1t has since been ascertained. how
ever, that the couple, with the
coolest audacity, had remained at
prominent hotel in this city, as man
and wife, for two DAYS before leaving
Tor Buffalo, near which place Redfern owns
farm. As soon as the deserted wife
learned the true state of affairs she left for
Buffalo, ostensibly to see her father. but
IN reality to escape the ANNOYANCE which
the heartless. conduct of her husband
would cause her. The friends of the in
fatuated young lady Immediately took
steps to learn her whereabouts, @t they
refuse to give any information upon the
subject. Mrs. Redfern, who has always
lived happily with her husband, has taken
