entrance to his grounds, and spoke as fol-

q rejoice with you in the event you are
now celebrating, not more because it gua-

Z. Elliott, the colorcd assistant adiutant-

and as it has a colored majority of several
thousand, his election is not matter of
doubt. The contest was between HoOga,

lifted him on their shoulders, carried him
around the lobby and into the South Caro-

of great enthusiasm, he made speech.

A CURIOUS CASE IN CINCISNATI-STATE
VS.. INTERNAL REVENUE LAwS.-OEe day
last week Constable Michael Straub served
a writ of execution OH Mr.. Louis Harmyer,
and attached some tobacco, the only per-
sonal property he could find. The tobacco
was not stamped, and its owner warned the
constable that he dare not remove 1t with
out suffering the penalties Of the revenue
law, which are very severe. The State law
makes it the imperative duty OF the con>ta-
hlc, when he finds property on which to
levy, to do so, and hold it, or be liable for
the value of the same. Mr.. Straub there
fore took the responsibility, preferring to
serve the law under which he obtained his
authority than be frightened of by possible
prosecution under II conflicting law. NO
sooner had he taken the tobacco into his
possession than Mr.. Harnlycr made
affidavit before United States Commits
sioner Halliday that one Michael Straub had
removed tobacco without its being stamp
ed. The tobacco was seized, and is now
held by Collector General Wcitzel, awaiting
the settlement of the question ut issue. The
constable proposed applying TO the collcc-
tor for stamps to stamp the tobacco before
selling the same. The revenue law pro-
yides that stamps shall be sold to nobody
except Il manufacturer Or his agent, and the
question to be settled is whether Il consta-
bic in selling another man property to pay
that mans honest debts is not virtually his
agent. and entitled 10 stamps from the 60
vernmcnt for the purpose ot putting the
property in salablo condition. 1t not,
then any man may avoid the payment OF
his debts by converting his means INTO To-
bacco or other property RECURRING 10 pc
strmrcd and bid the constable defiance. A.
hearing of the case was set for this morn
ing, but by agreement between counsel for
the constable, Mr.. Butterworth, and the
district attorney, it was arranged to write to
Washington and obtain from The revenue
authorities there IN opinion OF the law IN
regard to the use of stamps on property
thus levied upon for sale.-Csnctn'sdt!

The Nathan NfUr<Ier-A Clue.

A gentleman boarding in the Fifth Ave-
nue. Hotel has made u statement to Supcrin-
tendent Jourdan which may yet serve to
clear up much OF the mystery surrounding
the murder. For obvious reasons only the
outline of the statement is given.
At 10 O'Clock on Thursday night Mr.. Ma
than, then on his way home, stopped at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel, and, after 4 business
consultation with the gentleman above re-
lerred to, babe him good night and started
for his residence. The interview was held
in The main hall Of the hotel, and while Mr..
Nathan and he were r0nversing the gentle
man declares that ne SAW man intcntly
watching them.
When Mr.. Nathan left the stranger fol-
lowed him. The gentlcman's suspicious
were not aroused until the following MORN
ing. after he had heard the news of his
friends death. He has given Il description
of the stranger, and is certain that he would
be able to recognize him in crowd.
There are other slight threads which the
detectives are quietly but steadily weaving
INTO web OF evidence almost certain ere
long 10 TX the crime upon the man who
colnlhit.cu IL. I'm the mean time thew Sllo-
GeS', WIN sooa reason, that the press in
dulSe as lltlie Us possible in the promulga-
ton o. thcofics Which, whether sound or
otherwise, can effect nothing better than
delay in the capture and punishment Of
the murderer.
YOUNG NATHAN.
Captain Jourdan, CAPTAIN Kelso, and
Detective Farley, perhaps the three best
detectives in the country, men of great
experience and sound judgment, give it as
their opinion that Mr.. Nathan was muir
dered by u professional burglar, and not by
novice.
The iron dog was not found by young
Nathan, but by the policeman who first en-
tered the house ut his call. He himself had
been aroused from sleep by his elder bro
ther, Frederick.
