ROCHESTER, N. Y. JenusTy 5.-The
findings Of Justice Rumsey in the cele-
brated case of H. B. Clafin & Co., of
New York, against Donold Gordon were
filed to-day. The plaintiffs recovered
judgment nearly a year ago against Donald
Gordon, a large dry goods dealer, for
$500, 900. An execution was issued and
returned wholly unsatisied. In Decem-
Der, 1883, Gordon made a general assign
ment to Abraham e. Wolff. The pre-
~ferences claim for Mary Gordon, his wife,
about $500, 900 for services alleged to
have been rendered. The Judge finds
that the assignor is not indebted to her
but she owed him and hat the prefer
ence was made to defraud. He also found
that Wolff has in his hands about 5000,
600 and was not a party to the fraudulent
intent of the a~ssignor. The assignment
is set aside and the plaintiffs are directed
to be paid the amount of their judgment
and costs of the action. A referee is APP
pointed to take the amount of moneys
which have come into the assignee't
hands.

John offered to Withdraw az candidate
for President for a money consideration,
| can answer now only as to the fact
without yet being at liberty to make pub
lie the details. To my knowlcJee be did
have overtures made through a friend
from his own State, by which he offered,
if paid 5000 in cash, to withdraw as a
candidate altogether or to stay in the field
and feather" his speeches, as it was put
in the Kansas phrase, to the help of the
Republicans. He was asked, in order to
prove the sincerity Of his offer, to with
draw from Ohio the last week before the
October election in that State. He did
this under the plea, which he said he
would give, Of getting a sore throat, and
with the friend I ave mentioned went
first to pittsburr. next TO PHILADELPHIA
and finally to New York. where he honed
to meet some one on the mart of the Re-
publican National Committee who would
be ready to make the deal and nav the cash.
A letter and other facts of detail. which
will convince INV fair minded person of
eA~-r~rs,~s,.s of ST John and show
to the country what a thrifty Christian he
is. will be given to the press whenever he
shall ask and persuade his friend, who
was the medium of his oyertures, to give
his consent to have them made public. |

of Norm. She related the facts already
published and declared hat she offered
MORN to apply for remission of his SEN
tence if he would retract the calumnies he
circulated about her. To this offer NORM
only returned an insulting reply. In con-
Guiding her statement she said: IF you
believe me guilty condemn me. If you
can understand the moral fortunes l have
endured, acquit me-" These words were
uttered in a firm, energetic tone. She APP
peared to make a favorable impression on
the jury. In reply to a remark by the
Judge that the murder was unjustifable,
especially after fifteen months premedita-
ton, she said: you would not reason so
coolly if you suffered as l have, and the
prisoner proceeded to unfold the unremit-
ting and atrocious character of the perse-
cution to which she had been subjected.
During the narrative she became very

committed the care aud arrangement of

dispatch telegraphed here hat Mar
tin J. Ryan, of West Fourteenth street,

MIA port wine, created much Indignation
among wine merchants. They say the
seller of the wine was actuated by malice
and an attempt to discourage the sale of
California wines in the East to benefit
adulterated foreign importations. Arpad
Haraszthy, President Of the State VIII
cultural Commission said there is no adul-
teation in California wines; no adnlteral
can be purchased here as cheap as pure
grape wine, hence there exists nc motive
for adulteration. The only explanation |
can give outside there being deliberate
intention for %injuring the California wine
trade is that there may be a few grains Of
shot left in the bottle after washing.
