INTERNAL REVENUE MATTERS.

Special Revenue Inspector Coonatty, with a force
OF men from Collector Baey's Office made descent
upon an extensive whskey distlery, situated ut the
corner of Thirty-nf street and Tenth avenue. The
property seized Is owned by 4. Lowe. This estab-
lishment seized only a short time previous.
number of barrels Of spirits without any brands
attached were found on the premises by the officers
the rcctfying tubs, however, were discovered to be-
perfectly dry and bore indications OF recent use.
The distery of Joseph IL. Stiner is also in the
hands Of the officers OF internal revenue. The pre-
misses situated at the corner OF Seventeenth street
and seventh avenue. Probable fraud IL the reason
assigned for the seizure OF this establishment
Mr.. Cohen's rectifyng house also seized by the
same officers, and IL is now In their possession.
Vigilance has evidently taken hold OF the officers
az they yesterday pounced upon the tobacco estab-
lishment Of Vim. A. Pearl whose premises are stu-
ated at the corner of Hudson and Hammond streets
The seizure was made In the afternoon OF yesterday
by Collector NJ b. Field, and the cause OF his descent
Is alleged TO have been In consequence OF the non
payment OF tax.
Collector Sheridan Shook has also been stirrng
round and interesting himself In taking care OF,
Philadelphia whiskey ventures, which are constantly
arriving In his district in large and smau los ~ Us
said that large quantity Of Philadelphia whiskey is
offered for sale In this market at ninetyhve cents a.
gallon The tax on the fuid being 81 gallon the
deduction Is that spirits are Illicit. Unless the
tax IL proyep to have been paid the liquor Is held for
the bpnedt OF the government.
