An Exploded SANDER.

The old campaign slander in regarC, to
opprobrious language applied by Gen.
Gresham to the Germans in speech made
in 1866 has been met and disposed of by
the subjoined editorial article and certifi-
cate, which was taken from The New AL
bany lind. Daily Commercial of Aug lG,
1886, when Gresham and Kerr were op-
posing candidates for congress. It is
headed "a Lie Naile1," and was called
Out by the publication of the Islander in a
ewspaper supporting Kerr:
Gen. Gresham was a candidate for the
legislature in Harrison county in 1860,
and his competitor, Maj. Hancock, on one
occasion read a certificate given by Stevens
and others attributing to Gen. Gresham
the language concerning the Germans
charged in Kerr speech. Gen. Gresham
then met the charge with counter GER
tiicate which settled the matter, and Mai.
Hancock never alluded to it again during
the canvass. The charge was lie made
for a purpose, which failed Gen Gresh-
am joined the Republican party a. soon
as it was organized and voted for Ere
mont. He was the first Fremont man in
Harrison county, and was elected to the
legislature in 1860 by German votes. The
following certificate alluded to above nails
one of the many lies so industriously cir
culated against Gresham:
The undersigned citizens of Harrison county,
Indiana. hereby certify that they were present
at joint discussion between w. @. Gresham and
John Mathis at Lowden's schoolho use, in Spen-
Ger township, in the year 1855; that they heard
Mr.. Greshanl's speech On that occasion, and
that the language attributed to him by certif-
cate signed by William Stevens and others con-
corning the Germans was not used by him on
that occasion:
Josiah T. Alexander, Amos Burgess.
Felix G. Bell, Henry DAVIS
Thos. J. Alexander John S. Burgess,
Manuel Conrad, William S. Lowden,
Preston Davis, Stephen Ii. Davis,
Thomas Davis.
This slanderous charge shows to what
extremes the enemies of Judge Gresham
are driven in order to obtain a point
against him. With the thinking men OF
whatever nationality the charge has no
weight whatever, and falls harmless at
the feet OF the accused.

son of ex- Councilman Kuhrts. In ignit-
ing a Chinese bomb, young Mr.. Kuhrts
had his left hand terribly lacerated. He
was taken to DR.. Kurtz's office, where
the wound was dressed. He was then
conveyed home. Late yesterday DR..

to amputate half the hand and two fing-
ers and the thumb. This painful oper-
alton was proceeded with, Mr.. Kuhrts
bearing the amputation with great forti-

hand, and then Mr.. Kuhrts took to his
bed. At last accounts he was resting
easily. He has the coincidence of a large

June.


The Capital Turf Club met at the parlors
of the Golden Eagle Hotel Saturday even
ing to make arrangements for the annual
spring meeting. The attendance of leading
citizens and horsemen was quite large and
much interest manifested in the proceed
ings. From present appearances this will
be the best spring races ever given in this

portions of the State will be competitors in
the racing events. The club organized by

financial basis and given it name for
square dealing second to none on the coast.

has been an active member for twenty.f five
years, and who is authority on all matters
pertaining to the turf, was unanimously
chosen Vice President.

gentleman who owns good stock himself
and believes in square dealing, was chosen
Secretary.
Judge c. n. Post was reelected to the posi-
ton of Treasurer. He reported that he
had on hand some $50, left over from last

WILSON'S GREENBAcKS.
He Falls Among Thieves and is Robbed
suspects Arrested.


Harrison Wilson, negro from Nebraska,
went into the notorious place kept by Mrs.
Anderson, on Fourth and NJ streets, on
Friday night, and was robbed of $50 in
money and watch. On Saturday morn
ing he appeared at the station-hous and
reported the robbery, but was still drunk
and was unable to tell where the house was
at which he had been robbed. He made
his statement to officer Franks, who de-
tanned him until the arrival of Captain
Karcher when he again went over the
story. He described the people in the
house very accurately, and the officers
thought they recognized the place from the
description given. Officers Franks, Ash, Car
roll and Able proceeded to the place and
arrested all of the inmates, but after they
reached the station-h house Wilson said that
none of them were the persons he referred
to. They were accordingly discharged.
Then commenced a search for the place
where the man had been robbed. Officer
Franks started out with him, and, after
talking further with him, suspected
that 1t was Mrs. Anderson's place. He &C.
cordinglY walked down Fourth street with
Wilson, and as they neered the corner of
NJ the man at once recognized the place.
Returning to the station-house, they were
reinforced by the same officers who made
the first raid, and, proceeding to the house,
arrested Mrs. Anderson and several female
inmates of the place.
Captain Karcher and his assistants then
commenced to weave web, which, in
few hours, placed behind the bars the per-
sons who no doubt committed the robbery,
as the chain of evidence already obtained
by the officers is view strong These par
ties are Tom, alias Tough Anderson, an
ex-convict and a step-son of Mrs. Ander-
son, and John Charles Cannon, her own
son. Charlie, as be is Familiarity called by
his friends, came to the prison to see his
mother, and was locked up; but the cap.
ture of Tough" was not such an easy mat
ter. 1t was learned from Charlie that his
half brother had said he was going out to
the grant, and officers Franks and Ash
made night drive out there after him.
Their buggy broke down, and they walked
back into the CITY at o'clock Yesterday
morning without their man.
In the meantime officers Able and Carroll
were keeping up the search in the city.
About midnight they discovered Tough :"
in the alley between Third and Fourth, L
and NJ. He ran as the officers started after
him, and was only captured after lively
chase of several blocks. Since their arrest
the different parties have made statements
which will fasten the crime upon Tough
Anderson, at least, and probably upon
Charlie Cannon. AS the publication of the
details at this time might defeat the ends of
justice they are withheld. The case as at
first reported was a difficult one to work
up, and the officers are entitled to credit for
having so speedily landed the guilty parties

A SAD MISHAP.
Lille Woods Drowned Before Her Par

ent's Eyes.
Saturday morning about o'clock a sad
accident occurred at the Grand Island
Ferry, about two miles below CORTLAND, on
the Sacramento river. A. w. Stuart and
family, consisting of his wife and two chill
dren, were returning to their home from a
party given at CORTLAND by the Native
Sons of the Golden West. While driving
upon the ferry boat, in some unexplainable
manner the apron gave way, and the
buggy. with its occupants, was precipi-
tated into the river. Joseph Thomas,
young man who was passing at the time,
with great heroism and at the imminent
risk fhis life, sprang into the stream. Be-
ing an expert swimmer, he succeeded by
almost superhuman eXertion, in rescuing
Mrs. Stuart and her younger child which
she held in her arms. Mr.. Stuart, being
weighted down by a heavy overcoat, with
great difficulty extricated himself from his
perilous position. Miss Lille Woods, Mrs.
Stuarts daughter, q beautiful girl about
thirteen years of age, Immediately disap-
peared beneath the water, and, being drawn
under the boat by the current, was
drowned. In short time large party of
neighbors gathered at the scene of the acct
dent to seek for the body of the drowned
girl, which was found about sixty feet
below the ferry landing,

ALsCK =" BEDLOE."
The Practical Joker of San Francisco
Hunting Up His Pedigree.

The Practical Joker of San Francisco
Hunting Up His Pedigree.
According to the New York correspond
ent of the San Francisco Chronicle, Aleck
Badlam--who was once an humble and
honest printer in Sacramento-claims to
have made remarkable discovery in his
peregrinations down East recently, in con-
sequence of which he will either petition
the Legislature of California to change his
name to Bedloe, or have Congress change
the name of the site of Liberty Enlighten-
ing the World to Badlam's island.
Whilen meandering through the ancient
town of Dorchester, Mass, Aleck came
upon whole nest of Bsdlams, aud being
of an inquiring turn of mind and not fear
ing the prospect of some of his people be
ing surcharged with riches, he began in
vestigation From the old records and an
cient traditions there is no reason to doubt
that the name of the Badlam tribe was
originally Bedloe, and that the General
after W hom the island on which the pirate
Hicks was hanged was named for one of
Badlam's ancestors. The descendants mi
grated to Massachusetts, waxed proud and
not liking their name gradually changed it
to Badlanl, and so they are known to the
present day.
General Bedloe and General Bedloes son
both settled IN Dorchester, and some time
subsequent the present Aleck Badlam and
Alexis father and grandfather were all
born in that now justly celebrated town. 1t
was even on Dorchester flights that the in
FAINT Badlam first learned the rudiments of
paternal education and imbibed his fun
loving and office-holding propensities.
Aleck has been over to Bedloe's island
several times to take the bearings, and he
proposes to prove all his allegations by his
side partner, Berry, who is reputed to be
living in much effluence down in Fresno.
