CARLISLE GOAD NAJIE.
It is Involved in ant Ugly Scandal.

of the firm of Owens, Lane, Dyer A CO.,
extensivo manufacturers of agricultural
implements at Hamilton, Ohio, but who
for several years has led a retired life on
a farm at Mount Healthy, ten miles from
Ciucinuati, walked into Masistrste Gaaa'
office, in this city, at noon and asked to
bo shown ?x-'Squire }fal('A fa, docket
of 188# ?Y*!r?
ning the index, finally discovfcwa what
ho wan ted and then turned to a page in
the book.
Hastily glancing at it he called 'Squire
Gnss to his tide. Pointing to an entry
on the top of the page which read "Kate
Riley vs. Kentucky,' ho said: "This entry
has been tampered with." On the
lines opposite the entry was one which
gave the'cause of the suit.
It was for $290 for wine sold and de
livcred by Kato Riley, the notorious
Longworth street landlady. Tho date
of the entry is November 2, 1882, and
shows that tho pnpe a were served by
Constable AI Leonard. Further along
in the entry is the statement that on November
0, 1882, themouey was paid and
suit dismissed.
CARLISLE THE DEFENDANT.
"This tampered with entry hero," said
Mr. Line, ".s n suit against John Q.
Carlisle, and for some reason tho entry
wns changed." Tho index was referred
to, and it was found that the record remit
EtfriVH?r4{Al?f?JUr<UnsL _J
and also a copy of the entry on the index.
When asked what ho wanted with it
he said that Senator Carlisle had not
nctud square with him in certain money
matters nnd that he was looking the mattor
up for this reason.
Lane acted in a very mysterious manner,
nnd it is thought that his explanation
as to whv he wanted tho information
is a blind. Tho geueral imprcsaion
U that he is a s crct agent of some person
or persons who arc working against
the interests of Mr. Carlisle, and that the
I transcript Lane secured will be on its
I way to Washington soon. The lower
eutry on the docket says that the suit
wan dismissed at the cost of pinintitf.
