A telegram from New York APP
peared in Thursdays Chicago Tribune,
stating that threats have been made
to revive the Clatiin indictments Of the
sixties, unless Victoria Claflin Wood
hull-Martin and Tennie G. Claflin
Clark, now Viscountess MOntSerrat,
hand 100000 over to a hidden black
mailer, who, the Tribune says, sent
them a copy Of an Ottawa paper.
The Claflin sisters were indicted in
the sixties for manslaughter one in
dictment was brought for the alleged
killing of the late Mrs. Howe, through
the application of poisonous drugs, at
the sO-called Woodhull-Claflin infirm-
ary. the old Fox River house.
That the indictments can be rein
stated upon the docket, representa-
tive attorneys have no doubt, but they
are agreed that they never will be re-
instated at the instigation OF black
mailer, and that even if this point
should be carried, conviction would
be very improbable, if not impossible.
OF course, this Clatiin matter owes
its revival to the arrival of the sisters
at New York, consequent upon the
decision Of Mr.. Martin, husband Of
Victoria Woodruff Claflin, to estab-
lish banks in the United States, while
the women lecture and take up their
sO-called work for the advancement of
womans political and social condition.

A fine top buggy, our own manufac

The position of umpire among base
ball players no doubt is delightful
one, though to fill it in a way to give
satisfaction to all parties requires APP
parently so high an order of talent that
thus far there is no record of exactly
the right man having yet been found.
Very decidedly he was not found in
the person of Umpire Hall, who presi-
ded at an interesting game 'at Peoria
the other day. As the pitcher on one
side would throw the ball every man
on the opposite side would rush from
his place to the home plate, shake his
fist under the nose Of the umpire, and
yell like Comanche Indian at his de-
cison. The whole game was some
thing like the game Of lone old cat"
between school boys. About one hun
dred Galesburg sports came over to
see the game and spent their time cur
sing the umpire, kicking, chewing to-
bacco and soaring the ladies that sat
near them.

from among the guests and stood
under the chandelier in the

performed. The parlors were pro-

The walls and chandeliers seemed one

was splendid and the perfume of the
blossoms filled the rooms with fra
