Now They Tackle Conkling The
Delinquent Tax List Congress
Going to the Centennial.
Washington, D. C, May 5. A spe
cial to the World 6ays the agent of the
Ya!e Lock Company and the Hall
Safe Lock Company, charges Senator
Conkling with having had a tool of
his appointed one of the board of
four examiners in the Patent Office,
whose duty it is to examine into the
value of all patents in the Lock De
partment ; that this tool kept Conk
ling posted as to all that was done and
said by the examiners ; that Conkling
argued the case of a client before the
examiners, and that the commission
decided in favor of Conkling's client,
and against all other lock companies.
Post-Master-General Jewell and Secre
tary Chandler have decided to lay the
papers and the case before the Cabinet
to-morrow. The charges are also re
vived that Conkling is using his influ
ence in favor of the Western Union
Telegraph Company, another of his
clients.
The House passed a joint resolution
directing that the delinquent tax list
which was awarded to the Republican,
be published at the Government Print
ing Office.
The Senate adopted the House reso
lution accepting the invitation to at
tend the opening: of the Centennial
Exhibition at Philadelphia, and pro
viding lor adjournment from Tne3day
the 9th to Friday the 12th.

Decisions in Turf Cases Factory
Burned.
Cleveland, May 5. The Board of
Appeals of the National Trotting As
sociation heard, yesterday, all the cas
es upon the docket that were repre
sented, lne most important case
was that of Goldsmith Maid vs. The
Southern Ohio Fair Association,
which was decided against the Maid,
the Board holding that trotting for a
purse for exhibition of speed does not
constitute a race. An application
from the Jackson (Michigan) Trotting
Club for an order against the pulling
of such horses as have been declared
not to win, was denied, the Board
holding that the spirit as well as letter
of the rules was against the Jackson
Club, and that racing law required the
best horse to win. The Board will
probably finish its business to-day.
A wooden-ware factory was burned
to-day. Loss, 150,000; insurance,
$70,000.
