United States Assessor J. d. Wass has sue
ceeded In killing the business Of Illicit dstilng in
Kings county. He has seized thirty-nve distil-
leries and hundreds OF barrels and bogsheads OF
spirits, and In the performance OF his duty has
stopped the steamboat lines, bothered the railroads.
and made great deal OF trouble generally. Aided
by the encouragement Of Superintendent Butcher
and the Secretary OF the Treasury, the Assessor,
Wass, has broken up the nefarious business, and
lrishtown is consequently in bad humor. The resi-
dents OF this odorous district have been carrying on
and encouraging the Illicit dstilling business for eve
years. They have made II dangerous for a stranger
TO come within their gates, and have often beaten
the most inoffenslve visitors suspicion that they
were nformers. People who bad business with the
navy yard have frequently been assaulted while pass
ing through that frishtown and on one occasion
Admiral Godon himself was stopped and warned
never TO appear In that peighborhood again. On
another occasion Col. Brown, commanding
tho marine station, was fired at with
aireun, the bullet barely missing Its target Last
Friday two OF VASES brigade were stopped In York
street by q crowd, and after being well hammered,
were allowed to escape. in spite OF their opposi-
ton, however, the Illicit distillers have been forced
20 give ur business, and In the Second and Third
Districts no whiskey Ia made that does not pay the
lawful tax 10 the Government.
