was torn up for some distance, and broken

twinkling of an eye, and two lives had boon

They Are Safe.

OTTAWA, Ill, May l0.-The story from
New York that an attempt would be made
TO revive the indictments against Tennie
Clatiin and that her husband, Sir A. Cook,
had been asked TO pay $00,0 10 hush the
matter up is laughed at here. State Attor-
ney Moloney says that the revival of the
old indictments would be ridiculous; not
that they could not be revived, but that the
chief witnesses before the grand jury are
de ID or lost sight of, and that no conviction
could be had for lack OF testimony.
Mrs. Woodruff and Tennie &. Clafiin cut
a wide swath in Ottawa in 1853 and 1864.
They first engaged rooms at the old Geigor
house and later rented the old Fox River
house, now almost "a ruin. Here they es-
tablished a wonder cure" hospital, and
coined money until the indictments brought
in 1874 forced them to leave town. The
chief charges against Miss Claflin were
that she pretended to be able to cure cancer
aud other diseases, and undertook TO cure
two serious C .ses, bat the parties died
after she had declared them cured, and
then the indictments were brought.

WENT TO BLAZES.
The Fire Department Called Out Twice
YESTERDAY,

At 9:2O O'Clock yesterday morning the
fire department was called out by alarms
rung in from boxes 25 and 26, to extin-
guish lively blaze at the works of the
Los Angeles Refining company, on the
Mission road, caused by an explosion of
oil in the engine room. Before the ar
rival of the firemen the flames had con-
sumed the shed in which the fire broke
out, and spread to four tanks, each of
which contained about one hundred
gallons OF oil. All four tanks exploded,
and the burning fluid was scattered
about in all directions, but fortunately
no one was near at the time, except
one man, who escaped more seri-
GUS injury than the singeing of
his hair and whiskers. The fire
men soon had the blaze under control,
but when their labors were concluded,
it was found that the machinery and
premises had been damaged to the ex-
tent of nearly $1,000. which, however, is
fully covered by insurance.
AT 8 80 O'Clock yesterday morning a
telephone alarm was received at the
Boyle Heights engine house for brush
fire in pasture belonging to ex-Mayor
w, ii. Workman, ON the corner of Boyle
and Louisiana avenues, caused by the
careless handling of matches by child.
The blaze was extinguished before any
material damage was done.
