CONTRABAND WHISKEY. i.

An Illicit Rum Distillery Discovered ON
Barren Island-A Raid Made Yesterday
Morning.
For some time past the occupation Of tpoteen's
distnling has apparently fallen into dsuse, owing
to the watchulness OF Supervisor Hawleys officers
The last large capture made by them of huge
still in Thirty-ninth street scared the operators in
the forbidden stmulant, and not one place OF the
kind had been reported at the office since. Tho
fact OF the supposed inertness on the part OF Mr..
Hawley's stan led the contrabandists to suppose
that the chase after them had been entirely aban-
doned. Such, however, was not the fact as the
revenue lynxes as wide awake now as they
have ever been.
1t was known to Supervisor Hawley that
ILLICITLY DISTILLED RUM
was being made in the vicinity Of Coney Island. but
the exact locality could not then be ascertained.
Day before yesterday, however, 1t leaked out that
the exact spot was at Barren Island. The super

the dstillery had been located, but the STILL which
is said to have been Of five hundred gallon capacity
WAS MISSING, Tue owners eVluently Tearing sur

In leaving the island the officers saw

Without the 81 slightest dculty @ re renectnT credit
upon the oficers having the expedition in charge.
Supervisor Hawley likewise deserves considerable
praise for his vigilance In suppressing illicit disr-
latiOn, and 1t Is safe to say that never before,
since a tax has been levied upon spirits, has
there been so little contraband distilatiOn carried
on in his district the State OF New York; as as
present.

Sketch or MIR. Brooks.

James Brooks was born In Portland Me-. NOvenl-
ber 10, 1870 At eleven years OF age he became a
clerk in drug store, and at sixteen exchanged the
mortar and pestle for the schoolmaster's desk. BE
graduated at Watcrve College, Maine, at the age
Of twenty-0ne, studied law, turned editor and be-
came celebrated as traveller. His letters to the
Portland Advertiser, descriptive OF scenes peoples
and personal experiences during pedestrian tour
Of Europe, attracted universal attention and were
extensively copied. In 1885 he was elected TO the
Legislature of Maine, and in the following year he
came to New York and established the New York
Daily Express, with which his name has been so
intimately and constantly associated. The first
quarters OF the paper were in the Tontine Building
corner of Wall and Water streets. The offlce was
afterwards removed to the triangle buildings on
the corner of Centre street. City Hall place and
Chambers street. Here for the first time an even
ing edition OF the Express was started After
to snS IS The last
was made yesterday to the present quarters, and,
in view OF the death Of the lounder OF the paper a
remark made In Its editorial columns yesterday is
fraught with touching interest :-"ln the lifetime
OF the present prOprietors we have right to ex-
Nearly forty years OF service in the harness will, we
trust, exempt them from such an affiictiOn."
In 1S47 Mr.. Brooks was elected member OF the
q representative In Congress from New York city,
serving on the Committee on Public Lands. He
was cleCteu 10 the Inlrty-HrSJ. Tnlrty-SeCOnu,
Thirty-eightn Thirty ninth (the seat IN which was
successfully contested by Mr. ". Z. Dodgel For
teth, Forty first and Forty second Congresses, and
was reelected to the Forty-thlrd session Of Con-
gress. He was serving on the Committees
or Ways and Means and the Pacific Railroad
during the Thrty-ninth session, when his
seat was successfully contested by Mr.. Dodge He
was q delegate to the Philadelphia National Union
Convention In 1866 and in the succeeding year a
delegate to the State Constitutional Convention.
The political career Of Mr.. Brooks was chameleon
like in It's changes until he gave his answering
allegiance to the democratic party. An old line
Whig In past days, he became in later years un-
qualified revenue reformer. His speeches on the
tariff question and on the question OF Ameri-
can commerce were remarkable for their vigor
and power. The position occupied by him
in the last days Of the last session OF Congress in
connection with the Credit Mobiler investigation
is still fresh in the recollecticns OF our readers In
person Mr. Brooks was tall, graceful and good look
ing, and one Of the lions of Washington society.
His loss will be severely felt on the democratic side
or the House, where his long experience and keen
judgment made him prominent leader. He wrote
an account OF his travels around the world, which
was published In book form and attracted q great
deal OF interest.
