WANTED AN HEIR.
A German WoIDan's Baby Mysteriously
Purchased by Richly-Ciad Woman.

Purchased by n Richly-Ciad woman.
NEW HAVEN, CONN, Nov. 1O.-From
sensational developments that have come
TO light to-day, it is believed that some
wealthy New York family who are with
out an heir, and who wish to obtain one
secretly, have taken the infant boy Of
Mrs. Bertha Tearnan, the wife OF local
German woOd-turner, for that purpose.
The aid of Mary Creegan, an old Irish
nurse, was invoked when the child was
two DAYS old, and the mother was paid S25
and the father $50 to sign papers which
they know nothing about, but which
turned the child over to a richly-dressed,
hrayily-yeiled young woman, who accom-
panied Mary Creegan, and who was rep
resented to be the future mother OF the
child.
The transaction was effected on the
nieht of Nov. =. Mrs. Tearnan was told
she could see the child once week, but
the child has been spirited from the city
and the poor mother who is only 81 years
Old and very c0mely person, although
uneducated, IS almost frantic at what she
has done. She SAYS she was suffering
from pain and the want OF money at the
time, and was partially deranged, or she
would never have consented to the trans
action. She has placed the matter in The
hands OF counsel to be ferreted OUT. The
case eXcites profound interest here, and
developments are looked for. 1t is be-
leyed that the child has been put INTO
some family, where it will be passed off
as the offspring Of couple who are now
childless and who wish TO insure the heir
shin of large estates.

THE TENN EsSEE FLOOD.
Thousands of Acres of Corn in the Bot
toms Rendered worthless.

From the Chdttdnoogq Times.
The effect of the sudden and very extra
ordinary rise-for this season--in the Ten
nessee, has been deplorable. The rise
usually does not occur until late in De-
cember, when the corn is all gathered
and the banks and bottoms are clear. II
is not customary TO gather corn on the
river farms until after Dec. l. hence the
sudden tide of 80 feet took the farmers
unawares, and produces great damage.
Capt. Wilkey, of the steamer Warner.
came down Monday with his boat, and
said the effect of the rise will work great
hardship on the farmers above here. He
said that the river is so high that as he
came down he could see water away OIL
through lOwlands, and the stalks Of corn
bending beneath the current and 1oating
of entirely. In the neighbOrhood OF Eu-
chez ii seemed to be worst, and hundreds
Of acres Of corn are entirely DESTROYED
but in fact, az all points above, the river
farms which fringe the bank are lnundat-
ed.
The corn in the shuck becomes entirely
worthless when subjected to overflow.
The fodder Is entirely saturated, the corn
becomes swollen and sour. and il even re-
jectcd by hogs and other stock. Can't.
Wilkey says the small farmers who rent
will suffer greatly, as all they had was in
the corn and II is now worthless.
The river went down as suddenly as il
rose, aud is now al ordinary tide; but the
damage has been done and a rapid fall
cannot repair the evil

Influence of the Plumed Knight in the
Late ElectiOn-His Candidacy in 1883.
From the Neqo York World.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-A prominent
OHIO Republican politician said ton ght:
81 took part in the campaign in New
York. l made several speeches for Mr.
Davenport. l found out in that campaign
that the Blaine men were indisposed to
see Mr. Davenport succeed on account of
the ferVent and idiOtic claims of the Mug
wump people. Mr.. Blaine wished to see
the candidate indOrsed by them 90 down.
believe his influence performed certain
share OF the work OF defeating Davenport
"lt's all humbug about Blane's retiring
from politics. When the convention
meets in 1888 you will find Blaine as
active as be was at the last Chicago con-
vention. Blaine is now convinced that
he is the strongest man IN his party. He
thinks the figures of the late election
show that he polled stronger vote in
New \ ork than any other Republican
candidate could have done. For that
reason, If for no other, he expects to be
either the nominee of his party in 1888 or
to be able to dictate absolutely who shall
be nominated. The Republicans will be
convinced that without his aid they will
have no chance TO carry New York. New
YORK in 1888 will be as important a factor
as 1t was last year."
