Thomas Whales His Wife and Gets a
Job Behind the Bars.

Tom Whalen, who is well known to
almost everybody and who has frequently
figured in the Police Courts of this city
on various charges for several years, has
come to grief again. Yesterday Tom
took it into his head that it would be a
good thing for him to do to fog his wife,
thinking that it would add greatly to his
prestage in the community, and more
over there are a great many gentlemen of
more p%retentions than Tom have been
known to do the same thing. Whalen
proceeded to put his plans into execution,
and inspired by a liberal amount of ques-
tionable whisky he succeeded in giving his
wife quite a chastising. For this he
was in due time arrested by
Officer Sullivan, who brought him before
Judge Lee. OF course Tom claimed
that he was not guilty, but on investigat-
ing the case the court held differently, and
Tom was fined to the extent of sl3, in
Guiding costs. Tom didn't have the
money, he too having been seriously in
jured financially by the recent panic. The
result was that Tom went to jail, and the
and the prevailing opinion seems to be
that it won't hurt him to remain there for
a few days.

CHICAGO, June 4.-"What does the
election of Lynch signify" was asked
of w. w. Morrow, chairman of the Pa
ciic slope delegation. 1T signifies that
Mr.. Blaine's supporters are right in claim
ing that he represents by far the larger
force in the convention. 1t has been said
that Mr.. Clayton had the support of
Blaine's friends. Then it is very plain
that he has within a few votes of the
necessary number to receive a nomination
on the first ballot. 1t is undoubtedly rue
that a number of delegates voted for
Clayton who will not vote for Blaine on
the first ballot, but it is evident that they
will vote for him after the first or second
ballot. Then there were a number of
delegates who voted for Lynch who will
vote for Blaine on the first ballot. 1t
seems to me that Blaine will be nominal
ed before the fourth or fifth ballot.
Colonel c. F. Crocker, said Mr..
Blaine's friends never claimed n majority
of the entire convention on the first ballot
and we do not consider it as n test of his
final strength. 1t is a simple statement
of the question whether he is to be nomi-
mated on the first ballot or soon there
after"
William H. Parks, of California, said
1T is very favorable to Blaine. He de-
veloped the strength of at least forty votes
more than has ever been claimed by his
friends.
Then you consider that Clayton's
strength represents his."
Not entirely. There were some few
who voted to sustain the action of the
committee who will not vote for Blaine.
To offset that there were a large number
of Blaine's friends who voted for Lynch
in order to please the Southern delegates.
To me, the outlook never seemed better
han it does now"

Excitement and a Row.

CHICAGO, June THE decision of the
committee on credentials in the contested
Fifth Kentucky district case has been
creating a good deal of excitement and
ill-feeling, and it is said tonight hat the
committee will reconsider its action; if it
does not, some of the members of the
Kentucky delegation threaten to bring the
matter before the convention. 1t is stated
upon good authority that the Malone
delegation from Virginia will be admitted
without a contest. George Turner, of
Alabama, this evening assaulted Brewster
Cameron, ex-chief examiner of the De
partment Of Justice, in the rotunda of
the Grand Pacific Hotel. Cameron turned
upon him and struck him a severe blow
on the head with a cane. Hon. Paul
S~troback, of Alabama, seeing that his
friend was getting the worst of the en-
counter, began punching Cameron with
his umbrella. The latter, however, was
fully equal to the occasion and came out
first best in the fight. The occasion for
the assault, Mr.. Cameron says, was evil
dence which he was compelled to give be-
fore the committee on expenditure, and
the Department of Justice concerning the
conduct of certain Alabama marshals.

CHICAGO, June 4.-General Powell
Clayton in an interview to-day said {:
The assertion has been made in certain
newspapers that | had pledged myself and
the Arkansas delegation to Arthur, then
unfairly left him. The fact is that | have
never spoken or written a word to him on
the subject ofhis candidacy. / felt friendly
to him and do yet, and if he had develop
ed sufficient strength in his own state and
other Northern states that.give Republican
majOrities, | would have supported him,
and | think the Arkansas delegation would
have joined me in this conclusion, al
though three of the delegates have from
the first been adverse to him. Our state
convention was the second one held,
Louisiana holding the first. At that time
no Northern state had voiced its wishes.
Hence we had no light on the subject of
Northern preference, and for that very
reason our state convention gave no in
dication whatever as to how its delegates
should vote, it being generally understood
that our unpledged delegation at Chicago
should be governed by the result of the
convention in the states that gave elect
oral votes. When l ascertained that
Arthur had carried only about twelve
Republican congressional delegations in
the Union, and had failed to carry his
own state, | reluctantly came to the con-
clusion that his candidacy was hopeless. "

A MODESTO MANS LUCK.
He Wins a Portion of the $4,000
Prize in The Louisiana State
Lottery.

Within the past two or three months
large prizes of The Louisiana State Lot
terry have been awarded in this state,
notably that drawn by Thomas Kitchener
the capital prize of $75, OOO-and the
$4,000 prize won by John Martel, G. P.
Robbins and G.. w. Bumm. And now
comes the drawing of the second capital
prize of $4,000, of which Isidor Isaacs.
of Modesto, has been awarded S., 900.
MIR. lsaacs was in the city the other day
and said, in conversation, that there was
a peculiar circumstance in relation TO his
securing the lucky ticket.
In the first place, said he, Il sent to
San Francisco for a ticket in The Louisi-
ana State Lottery, inclosing 81. l re-
ceived no answer to my letter and so wrote
again, lnquiring about it. The agent re-
piled that he had sent the ticket by mis-
take to lsidor COIN, but that l might call
at the postofice and get the letter, as the
ticket belonged to me. Invent to the postofice
and did not find any letter there for Isidor
Cohn, and therefore wrote again to the
agent, requesting him to either send me
Which did he do?"
29S, for April sth drawing-the lucky
one, and right glad | an that the mistake
was made, for it was only a little while be-
fore L received II dispatch, stating that L
had won n So, 600 prize"
wv hat were your sensations on receiv-
ing the news?"
Wei, | guess l felt about as any poor
man does who suddenly comes into
possession of a good round sum of money
like that. | first turned hot and then
cold, and then came a sudden conviction
that the dispatch was not authentic. So
| telegraphed to my brother, who works
in a clothing store in San Francisco, to go
to the agent and see if | had really won
the prize. He did so, and on receiving
word from him that it was all right, I
made a lively jump for my grip-sack,
boarded the train, and on arriving in the
city, made a Decline for the agents office
after my 5000.
j. Boas cashed the check for the lucky
man, who left the city for Modesto in high
glee, after having Toasted and wined him
self and his friends to their hearts con-
tent.
Mr.. Isaacs is a clothing ~storekeeper in
Modesto, and has seen some pretty hard
struggles to maintain himself and keep
up his business, under heavy competition
there, but he is satisfied that with the
present comfortable addition to his little
capital, he will be able to increase his
stock and trade, and become a successful
merchant in that thriving town.-San
francisco, (CdL) Chronicle. april 20.

THE OUTLOOK.
What the Political Prospects APP
peared to Be Yesterday
Morning.

CHICAGO, June AT a late hour last
night, after considerable earnest talk
among the Blaine delegates from Missouri
and Michigan upon the a~dvisability of
bringing out General Sherman as a candi-
date as the only solution of the present
situation in the convention, it was urged
that General Sherman would not permit
the use of his name or accept the nomi-
nation under any circumstances. In ODE
dience to the wishes of a majority of these
delegates, John B. Henderson sent an
earnest telegram to General Sherman
urging him to accept, and requesting him
to send them an answer this morning.
Mr.. Horace White, of New York, stated
this morning that in his opinion Blaine
was already beaten and could never get
as many votes in the conven-
ton as Powell Clayton did.
The general impression this forenoon that
the chances of nomination of a man not
heretofore prominently mentioned have
been increased. The names most fire.
quently mentioned are the two Shermans
and Gresham. In case of a break in
the Blaine column it is undertood Neb-
raska will go to Senator Sherman.
THE EASTERN DELEGATES ARE DETER
MINED
to adhere to Edmunds, and, as they are
divided in opinion, it is likely their
strength will be divided between Sherman,
Gresham and Hawley for some time.
These managers regard the dead point of
danger for them is a drift from Blaine to
Arthur. If this can be prevented they
hope for a favorable result. The Tribune
this morning bristles all over with bright
articles for Blaine and claims that there
is no cause for discouagement on account
of the Powell Clayton incident, which is
not regarded MS a real test. 1t compli-
ments Lynch and the southern colored
delegates and attacks boldly George
William Curtis, Roosevelt, Lodge and
Others whom it styles political dudes. 1t
says the resolution introduced by MIR.
Pearce to decrease the representation from
the South hereafter is an ungracious re-
turn for the help yesterday from the South.
