On last Saturday evening there was a
great excitementon North Market street.
There was tumult in the air" wild
rushing of an excited populace over the
hard pavements, an occasional demouia-
cal yell, or whoop as of victor in a
hand to hand duel, then groan as from
the victim. The crowd thickened and
excitement increased. On the outer cir
eles anxious men, boys and women stood
On tip toe, and in whispers asked who
was killed. Was It a murder2 Was it a
yuicide2 VAST a bloody affray between
two desperate men2 No, it was Swope,
the lightning wholesale wood sawyer,
who was on another of his periodical
tubilees which lead but to the iim-iams
and the grave. Two policemen took
charge Of the cause of this excitement.
but he was obstinate and belligerent, and
q hard man to handle. They dragged,
pulled, pushed and jerked, and, finally,
by long and tircsome series of six feet
jumps, they landed him in the small
asylum kept for the accommodation of
those attacked with temporary insanity.

Mr.. r. had gone over to a sons to see
how the family were. As Mrs. Rohrer
Said she did not feel we'll she would lie
down on the bed, and Mr.. r. told one of
Me family to stay with her few min
utes, as he would soon return. Just after
he started Mrs. r. told her attendant to
20 to bed, as she felt better. On Mr..
Rohrer's return, not over five or ten
minutes, he found his wife quite dead
truly most sudden and melancholy be-
Teavement. Mrs. Rohrers age was lit

Crooked Whisky TtO0 More Seizures To-
DQu.

Under the orders of Internal Revenue
Supervisor Powell, who is acting under
the direction OF Solicitor Wilson, of the
Treasury, two more whisky houses in
this city, that of Howe & Hubbell, at
No. 81 Sycamore street, between Front
and Second, and that Of Amann & Co.,
at No. SO East Front street, were seized
this afternoon.
The charges preferred against these
firms are substantially those that have
been presented against Pike, Barrett &
Dole and nearly all of the whisky firms
whose property and books have been
seized, viz, that of falling to cancel the
stamps on whisky barrels and reship-
ping The same barrels filed with whisky,
thus evading the payment of the revenue
tax.
Solicitor Wilson, who arrived in this
city Friday last from Washington, has
all the papers and documentary evil
dence in the case, and the investigation
will probably commence at once.
7 Neither of the houses have heavy
stock on hand. Howe & Hubbell have
about two hundred barrels OF whisky,
and Amann Il Co. about half that
amount.
