RAID BY THE REVENUE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
OF TWO sTILLs-ATTEMPTED ESCAPE AND
EXCITING CHAsE-ARREsT OF ALL THE
PARTIEs.
The U. s. Internal Revenue officers of this
city have had strong cause to suspect the exist
ence Of Illicit distilleries few miles from this
city, in Chrisllana Hundred On Saturday after
noon, sufficiently definite information having
been obtained, officer Heal, who had been APP
pointed as Deputy U.S.Marshal for the occasion,
and Assistant Assessors +. A. Taylor and William
T. Massey, started to make raid upon tho
establishments.
About six miles from the city, at Pyle's Mill, u
short distance from the Kennel Pike, u still was
discovered with nine hogsheads of corn mash.
As the officers entered the mill man was seen
crawling out between two stills the others gave
chase and the fugitive, after jumping n distance
of about sixteen feet started to run. One of the
Revenue officers beginning to feel that the fellow
was getting the better of the race, fired four pis-
toll shots at him as he ran, but none of them took
effect. Officer Heal, who had b,en In the mill,
nov started after the man and soon overlook
him, arrestipg him without difficulty. He proved
to be man named Mcintyre, iur whom the Rev
enuc officers had been on the hunt two years, and
was implicated 10 the distillcry seized that long
ago down Fourth street, but then escaped.
From this place the officers went 10 farm be-
longing to Robert Smith, but occupied by Robert
Beatty. After some search they discovered \
large still and 16 hogsheads Of molasses mash in
basement under the carriage and wagon house.
There was no whisky there. They took three
persons into custody, Thompson, McCranc and
Alexander Beatty, and also took possession Of
the still. Coming away they met Robert Beatty
and arrested him and brought him along with
their other three prisoners. They had hearing
before L. 8. Commissioner Hartman and the two
Beattys Gather and sony and McIntire gave bail
in the sum of $1,000 each and the other two in the
sum of $500 each TO appear at further hearing

MYSTERIOUS DisAppEARANcE.-0n Monday
last George Booth, a farmer living on tho prop
erty attached to Lords Factory, drove to Ekton
with u load of grain. On the next morning, he
started to walk to town, as he sad to obtain the
money for his grain. Since then nothing has
been heard Of him, nor has the most anxious
search by his family awaited to gather any tidings
Of him. Fears are entertained that he has been
drowned, although the extreme GOODNESS of the
weather,and the frozen condition of all the ponds
would seem to render such n cause Of death i'm
probable. 1t Is said that Mr.. Booth was subject
to fits of melancholy, and apprehension is felt
that he may have destroyed himself. Mr.. B. was
short, thick set man, with STOPPING gait and
rather downcast appearance, about 45 years old.

obtain any knowledge of his whereabouts
