A VETERAN TRAvrIss.-A residsnt Of
Illinois, one hundred and ten years Of age,
in this city few days since who had walled
the entire distance from bis home in that
State. The greatest days travel upon thi
tsgious journey was IL miles. The old gen
tleman came to visit the east end Of Long
Island, search Of evidence Of bis seryisss IN
the Revolutionary struggle BY which he g.
tablished his claim to pension. The reason
Of bis walking was that he would not incur
the risk Of shortening his moral career BY
riding on railroads. So strong was prejudice
against the mode of conveyance, that while
in the upper part Of this city and desiring 70
come down to the Brooklyn ferries on his way
to his destination on Long Island, he could
be induced TO ride in the Second avenue
horse power railroad cars, but walked down,
crossed the ferry, and passed on to the end
Of the jour-ney.-[N. Y. Tribune.

A QUEsTIos UNDER THE LreroR Law

a QUESTION UNDER THE LIQUOR Law
Yesterday, in the the course Of the trial Of
Simon Lynch TO. the burglary Of the dwell
ing house of Isaac Childs of Wayne, an cpl
code occurred that was somewhat puzzing
even to the clear head Of Judge Douglass.
The prosecution maintained that the accus-
ed broke into the store, also used as dwell
ing, for the purpose Of promiscuous theft
The defence as stoutly maintained that he
did so for the purpose Of getting a. diink Of
liquor, which was kept there for sale. And
in support Of this theory they provide that
the acc sed had drank during the afternoon
until he was quite drunk, and that be ng
thirsty with intoxication, he forcibly entered
the store for the purpose Of satisfying his
delirious cravings.
The Jury disagreed, six holding that he
went in for the liquor only, and the remain
ing six that his object was plunder.
The first party then insisted that il their
hypothesis was true, the crime Of burglary
was not pro'e since liquor is not property
under the Liquor Law. In the dilemma the
ury came in to seek light from the Court as
TO the point of law.
The Court confessed lis judicial mind,
Oothered upon the point somewhat. IL ala
not desire to hold that, as matter Of law, a
man night pillage another mans house or
store with impunity so long as the object was
TO get liquor. But on the outher hand, while
expressing some doubt as to the constitution
ali,y of that law in general, the Court was
constrained to hold that. under the decision
Of the Supreme Court, liquor could not be
considered rs property, and that, if the jury
believed tho mans sole object was to get the
liquor, they must find that ho committed no
burglary.
The Judge in the course Of his instructions
was oblidged TO draw his distinctions pretty
nicely, and to but IN a good many butts, in
order to guard his language from any posibil-
ity of misconstruction
The jury refused to agree as to the bur-
glary and were discharged.

The Dens In the Sands Broken up.ssNine
.BuildinEs Torn Down, aud Six Burned.
Decidedly the vilest and most dangerous
place in Chicago IN or rather was, the locali-
iy in the North Division, near the Lake
Shore, known as the "Sands." For some
years past 1t has been the resort and hiding
place Of all sorts of criminals, while the most
wretched and degraded women and their mis-
erable pimps, congregated there in large
numbers. A large number Of persons, most
ly strangers in the city, have been enticed
into the dens there, and robbed, and there is
but little doubt that number Of murders
have been committed by the desperate char
acters who made those dens their homes
The most beastly .sensuality and the darkest
crimes had their homes on the "Sands," 30
famous in Chicago Police annals.
Previous to yesterday, several unsuccessful
attempts had been made to break up the
"Sand houses" but the land upon which they
stood was in litigation in the q. s. Courts,
and the litgants, in view Of the uncertainty
of war, were disciplined to take anysviolent
measures to eject the occupants. A short
time since. Hon. w. B. Ogden purchased the
interest Of one Of the litiganis and few
days since, Mr.. Ogden's Agent notified all
the occupants TO vacate the premises forth
with, or their buildings would be torn down,
and at the same time, to avoid as much diff
dculty as possible, purchased the buildings of
such If the owners as would sell them for a
reasonable price.
Finding that the occupants were determined
to retain possession as long as possible, yes
terday morning the agent, accompanied by
deputy sheriff, arrived with writs Of eject
ment, and assisted BY large posse and some
thirty policemen, headed by the Mayor, had
five disreputabe houses and fou! shanties torn
down. The inmates were allowed sufficient
time to move their furniture into the street;
hooks and chains were then fastened to the
buildings, one after another, and down shey
came. This was 10 the morning, and the
proceeding attacted a crowd Of several thou
sand persons. One or two Of the houses
were not destroyed, the occupants promising
to vacate them to day.
Yesterday afternoon, about half past four
o'clock, six Of the remaining buildings, all
houses of the worst character, were burned
to the ground. AS the fire broke out in three
of the buildings simultaneously, it is proba-
bic they were set on fire by the inmates, out
of sprite to the owner of the property, who
had just purchased them. They were wood
en- buildings and of little value.
Thus the congregation of the iyiiest hsunts
of the most depraved and degraded creatures
in our city, has been literally "wiped out"
and the miserable beings who swarmed there
driven away. Hereafter we hope the Sands
will be the abode of the honest and the in
dustrious, and that efficient measures will be
taken to prevent any other portion Of the
city from becoming the abode Of another such
gathering Of vile and vicious persons.

The OLD "RED CzsT"--As tho old "rsd
cent" is about to be called in, some Of our
cotemporaries are writing its history and
obituary. The cent was proposed in l7s2
by Robert Morris, the great 6nancier Of the
revolution, and was named by Jefferson, two
yean later. It began to make its appear
snce from the mint in 1882. 1t bore then
the head of Washington on one side, and thir-
teen links on the other. The French revolu.
ton soon after created rage for French
ideas in America, which put on the cent in.
stead Of the head, the goddess Of liberty
French Liberty, with neck thrushed forward
and flowing locks. The chain on the revefss,
was replaced by the olive wreath Of peaoe.---
The French Liberty was short lived, and %
was the portrait on our cent. The present
staid, classic dame with fllet around her
hair came into fashion about thirty or forty
years ago, and her finely ohiseled Grecian
features have been but slightly altered BY the
lapse of time.

The .parson won the wager; the officer bang

The officer agreed to do 90 If be should ia

left on Sunday mornings steamer for Havana,
taking with him large amount, estimated
as his sh as $50, ,ooo-of exchange and prom

their absolute wortblessness could be discover.
ed. The True Delta of last evening says:
He left behind him consolatory letter for

question Of time-and that they could better
afford to lie out Of the money than personal

DISCLOSURE OF LIQUOR DEALER.-Mr.
Delevan, President of the New York State
Temperance Society, in bis recent address At
the capitol in Albany, dwelt mainly on the
now prevalent sdulterstion Of liquors.
"Wthin few weeks" he said, sit has come
to my knowledge, that person, whose con.
science revolted at his employment, in large
liquor establishment, left it for more inno-
cent and creditable business. He stated that
it now only took ten, seine say four gallons
of pure whisky to make barrel of whisky
ofcommerce. To these are added rain water,
camphene and arsenic; the latter to restore
the bead destroyed by the water. He stated
also that brandy made to immi'ate the real
French brandy, and of materials of the most
poisonous character, was sold at four dollars
a gallon, costing 22 cents. That all kinds Of
wines were immitated 30 closely that the best
Judges. could not discriminate, costing but
trhe, and sold at prices to suit their custo-
mer. The higher the standing Of the Gus
toner, and the more particular as to his wines
