PORTER ASHES STORY.
Judge Heydenfeldt Denies 1t and JUS
tice Field Denounces Ashe.

San Francisco special to the New York
World gives the following denial from Judge
Heydenfeldt of the story told by r. Porter
Ashe about Justice Fields alleged bid for Ter
rvs political support: Il had at one time,
many years ago, letter from Justice Field in
which he stated that he was going to devote
his leisure to preparing for circulation among
friends his "reminiscences, and referring to
those Of California times he requested me to
obtain from Judge Terry his version OF the
Terry-Broderick duel in order that his account
of it might be accurate. As soon as I received
this letter wrote to Judge Terry informing
him Of Justice Fields wish and recommending
him to comply as it would put him on record as
compiling correct account Of the affair. 1
received no answer from Judge Terry, but
meeting him some weeks later on the street in
in this city he said he had had no time to write
the history of the duel, and added the published
and accepted version was correct This letter
is the only one which passed between Justice
Field and myself in which Terrys name was
ever mentioned, and with the exception Of the
aforementioned street conversation Justice
Field was never the subject Of conversation be-
tween Judge Terry and myself from the
time left the be lch in January, 1857 up to the
time of Terry's death.
''As to the statement that during Terry's
uoupie Will the SHARON case 1 OfereQ Terry
the use Of Fields letter, il 10 q vile falsehood
whoever may be responsible for it, had no
such letter. and consequently could have made
no such offer.
Judge Levy was very positive in saying he
didn't believe that such letter as Ashe speaks
OF Is In existence. Il was in both the Oakland
and Stockton conventions" said he, land never
knew Of Field asking for Terry's aid. Besides,
I'm nephew of Judge Heydenfeldt, and, 1
think, would have known if the Judge had re-
ceived such communication from Justice
Field.
Justice Field was in q rage when this ignis
fatuus letter business was again brought to
his notice. He said: Il never wrote such q
letter to Heydenfeldt. / never made any
such offer to any human being. The state
ment is an utter falsehood There is not O
word of truth in it."
If you never wrote such letter, what rea-
son can MIR. Ashe have for making such state
ments?" was asked
Reason he answered, 'no reason beyond
the fact that he is liar, q malignant liar.
That is the only reason for these statements
They are all lies told by common liar. You
can quote me as saying it. These statements
are simply lies. They have not the slightest
foundation and the man who made them is Q
malignant liar"

A GRAVE DIGGER'S ADVENTURE.
Locked in q Vault Over Night With

A few nights ago while party Of young men
and women were walking under the shade trees
skirting the Lafayette cemetery, in Philadei-
phia, they were startled by number Of wild
cries issuing from the center Of that burying
ground The hour was about 9, and although
there were twenty persons about, none Of
them at first could muster enough courage to
60 in. Then some Of them, guided by the sound,
made their way between the graves to .

vault top rises only few inches above the
ground, but there are q number Of holes pierre
ing the sides, and the Investigators threw them
selves prone before this. For q time they could
cred the outlines of moving form, and another
piercing cry rent the air. Satisfied now that
the thing within was q ghost, the men spraog
to their feet and ran like mad for the streets
The mystery was not explained until Officer
Smith passed that way. just a. he reached
OF man who was lying on the door inside. He
promptly broke in the door and found James
N. Clarke. one OF the grave diggers, in a half
unconscious condition. leaning against the side
of the vault II was some minutes before he

Concerning Carriers.

1t is considered bad luck to lose q garter, it
being the foreboding Of greater loss-that Of
a sweetheart or friend. No part Of a woman's
dress is said to have such power in changing
luck as her garters. They should never be left
knotted together or thrown carelessly about,
either representing enemies who will annoy
her.
II a young lady sleeps in strange bed she
should tie her garters about the head board
somewhere, at the same time reciting these
lines:
This knot knit this knot tie.
To zee my love as he goes by.
Then she will dream of her sweetheart. To
make it sure she must tie her garter around the
bed post nine times.
