From the Detroit News (s,aturday).
Shortly after noon to-day the Recorders
Court Clerks office began to fill up with an
official looking body. The word had gone
out that the Aldermanic indie tments would

ses are Albert Raynor, George w. Van Dyke

him 10 prostitute and betray the duties of
his office, offered him package which he,

The second was against Alderman Jere-
mah ID. Falvey. The witnesses were Cor

The third was against Falvey. The COM
plainant was Peter Ohlert, and witnesses

charges that on June D. 1894, Falvey received
from Peter Ohlert 500 a. a bribe to induce

licited 800 from August Quasi as a bribe
and pecuniary reward TO induce him TO re-
port back in favor of awarding a sewer con-
tract TO one Lemke, and that he undertook
to have said report made if he was paid said
money.
The indictments were read aloud to the
respective parties, after which the several
bail bonds were executed and the work was
done.

TERRIFIC SPEED.
Maud 8. Makes a Quarter OF Mile in
81 Seconds.

providence. X. L., Aug. l6.-Maud 5. was
given practice mile yesterday at Nara
gansett park. Robert Bonner was present
and witnessed the work of the queen of the
turf" Bair gave her mile first in 2:l5.
Later he brought the speedy equine out and
sailing down at 40 clip, nodded his head
and fairly flew under the wire. The first
quarter was reached in 30 seconds, the half
mile in los, the three-fourths in l4l5d.
Down the hcme stretch the mare struck a
terrible gait and landed under the
wire in 2:l2l6, making the last quarter In 81
seconds, the fastest quarter ever trotted on
the track. The performance was wonderful
as the track is slow as it possibly can be from
the fact that Griffin is getting 1t softened for
the mare for her practice. Maxey Cobb was
given mile by Dustin. He did the quarter
in 34I@, the half mile in / 0ols, the three
quarters in l44lS and finished IN 2:l9l4. Mr..
Bonner was much pleased with the perform
ance of his mare and feels confident that
she will make great record at the park
when she goes to beat her best work.
