Chicago. Nov. S.-The indictments
against the distillers, rectifyers and
gaugers, of this city. charge the gross
est of frauds, in avoiding the whisky
tax. Against the firm of Roelle,
Junker & Co., there are four indict-
ments, charging that the firm has de-
frauded the government, at various
times out of taxes on liquor amount
ing in the aggregate to about 2,444, 900
gallons. These frauds have all oc-
CURED within a year. Gollson, East
man & Co., are charged with evading
taxes by cancelling stamps and using
other means of defrauding the govern
ment of the tax on 1900 gallons
Ford, Oliver & Connor, are charged
with evading the tax on "a 900 gallons
Miller & Frederick on 10000 gallons,
The means employed were various,
but seemed well understood among all
dealers and manufacturers. 1t is
affirmed that overwhelming proof is
in the possession of the grand jury, of
the truth of their charges, and the
cases will be prosecuted with the
greatest severity.

OUR NEW LAKE ROAD.

The new route to the Lake, the terminus of
which is Spanish Fort, has become, as we
knew it would, exceedingly popular, and the
only difficulty experienced by the company is
in providing accommodation for the crowd of
pleasure seekers, who all seem bent upon ex-
aiming the route, and all of whom return
delighted with the road itself, the picturesque
old fort, about which clusters SO many his
torical "reminiscences, and the rapidity and
ease with which the trip is made. If we mis-
take not, this road is destined to do not only
very large passenger traffic the year round,
but will also, in a short time, transact
heavy freight business; for it stands to rea-
son that steamers and trading vessels will
prefer to unload freight at the pier-head
on the Bayou St. John and send it rapidly
to the very heart Of the city, rather than to
wind their way slowly and expen-
sively up the tortuous canals They can re-
ceive their freights, also, over this line and
be out at sea, or far on their voyage, before
vessel loading at the New Basin could get
into Lake Pontchartrain.
No tonnage dues nor wharfage will be
charged vessels landing at the west pier-head,
which is to be improved and kept in repair
by the railroad company, by agreement with
the canal lessees. The track OF the road will
be extended out upon the pier, and thereby
greatly facilitate the transfer of passengers
and freight, At or near the end of the pier
head is to be constructed large and airy
summer hotel-directly over the water-with
wide balconies and restaurant attached, for
the entertainment of the thousands of guests
who are sure to flock thither during the sum-
mer months lighthouses for ladies and gen.
tlemen will be erected during the winter in
readiness for the summer. 1t will not be very
long, we fancy, before the stock of this COM
pany will be eagerly sought for, as the profits
will be large, the capital stock is very small,
and the expenses extremely light. The road
is the cheapest. and one of the best ever con-
structed in the city.

A GRACEFUL TENDER.

The unhappy results of the storm along the
Texas coast and the untimely taking-off OF
so many persons, have not passed unheeded
by those whose lives are devoted to the min
istration of the afflicted and the care of the
bereaved.
When the sad news of Indianola's loss was
first made known here, the Sisters of Mercy
from the asylum on st. Andrew street. near
Magazine, at once notified the gentlemen
having in charge the relief for the sufferers
that accommodations, food and clothing for
forty orphans could be had at once
The benevolent Sisters are ready to throw
open their doors to those rendered fatherless
by the storm, and do all they can to make the
little ones comfortable.

THE BUTCHER CASE.

Justice Morgan, Of the Supreme Court,
took the bench Thursday morning for the
purpose Of hearing the application of Frilot
for writ of habeas corpus.
Simeon Belden, Esq, one of the attorneys
for the defense, who was absent had written a
letter requesting a continuance, and the
States attorneys said they were willing; but
Justice Morgan expressed his determination
not to allow such delays longer in the trial.
Considering the present request, he would
grant a continuance until to-day friday
at noon, when he wanted every witness pres
ent as the case must be disposed of. There
upon the court adjourned, and Frilot, in
charge Of Capt. Pegram, went over to the
Superior Criminal Court, where he gave a
new bond for his appearance.

AT THE BATTERY.
A Few Minutes i'm the Fire Alarm
Office.

But few people know when in the dead Of
night the fire alarm bells peel forth, how it is
that they all strike so in unison. Notwith-
standing that the alarm telegraph has been
established for many years, most individuals
know only the fact that the bells are sounded
by electricity, and that's about all.
Yesterday, through the courtesy of Mr..
Samuel Weeks, Superintendent, We were
shown through the alarm telegraph Office, in
the City Hall, and the many new improve
ments lately made were exhibited.
Running around the side of the operating
room is large rosewood counter on which
the relay instruments are placed To the
right of these is large marble case, with
three dials, used in ringing the bells. IT, for
instance, an alarm comes from box No. 149,
the receiving instrument, by newly devised
invention, is set in operation, and slip of
paper is put in motion under pencil. The
number Of the station is marked on the paper
at once by the turning in OF the alarm, and
first dial at l, the second at 4, and the third
at 8, and the alarm is sounded by all the
bells the requisite number of times without
further attention from the operator.
Before Mr. Weeks took charge of the Office
several minutes were required to change
large number of keys, and open certain cir
cults before the bells could be rung. but now
the turning Of single key effects the work.
The device, an invention of Mr.. Weeks, does
the work in a moment Those who are not
acquainted with telegraphy have but a slight
idea of the unceasing watchfulness and care
required to keep the many wires centering at
the City Hall in repair.
Even whilst we were engaged in converse
ton with Mr.. Weeks, the ticking of the in
struments could be heard, and we were in
formed that it was the signaling from distant
station boxes from the employees testing the
wires. This work is kept up continuously,
and is rendered necessary by the rapid o1ida-
ton of wire in this humid climate.
1t is next to impossible for those not prof.
Gent to comprehend the strange and enig-
NAUTICAL puzzle before him in the Office.
Hundreds of wires, running this way and
that, SO confuse one that the whole appears
like some tangled skein without end or be-
ginning; but Mr.. Weeks, picking out the
wires, informs one that this runs to the Bar
racks, below the city, and that to the Grain
above. How he knows it remains a
profound mystery to the observer. The
of the electric fluid by single
wires can be comprehended, but this network
is certainly confusing.

FATAL LOAD OF BUCKSHOT.
Accident in a Bar-ROOm.
A Cigar Vendor MOrtally Wounded

At o'clock Thursday evening. a man
named Bernard Dillet, proprietor of the
cigar store situated corner of Peters and Ur-
sulines streets, was shot and dangerously
wounded in the back by load of buckshot
from an old-fashioned Deringer, in the hands
of Frank Romeo alias Dago Frank, alias Nine
Finger Frank, who, Immediately after the
shooting, threw the pistol away and made
his escape.
DR.. Bergot was called in, AMI extracted
one of the buckshot from the body of Dillet.
several of them having entered the body and
lodged in the 'spinal vertebra." The physi-
clan dressed the wounds and pronounced
them mortal
The particulars, as given by Mr.. Moreau,
barkeeper of the Gen. Qlitman Exchange, in
front of which is the cigar stand of Dillet,
are as follows: Romeo is in the habit Of
leaving his pistol in the bar with him. On
the evening in question Romeo came into the
bar-room, and was conversing with Dillet.
Frank asked him (the barkeeper) for his
pistol he handed it to Frank, who pro-
ceeded with his left hand to place it in his
inside right hand coat pocket. As he did so,
the pistol went off accidentally, and the
whole contents struck Dillet as above
stated. when Dillet fell to the ground. Ro-
meo threw the pistol on the floor, and ex-
claimed. "My God! my Godi have killed
the man. And then ran out, disappearing
through the French Market.

ON DIT.

Judge Steele left the city last evening
for his home in the country, to settle up his
business there preparatory to removing per-
manently here.
There was putting of-heads together
in Antoine's Office Thursday morning over
the school question. Superintendent Brown,
Burch and the Acting Governor were in close
"confab," but what will come of it did not
leak out.
1t is now positively asserted in Repub-
lican circles that Senator West controls the
nomination Of the United States District
Judgeship. Billings is going to be the man,
notwithstanding his connection with Norton
and the bankruptcy outrages.

be done at once.

there were no gentlemen in the cars, have

-. In contradiction of reports to the con-

Washington Artillery is an Independent
organization, separate and distinct from any
other organization in the State, and that
there is no intention, as it is now organized,
of enrolling it under the State laws.
After the Centennial the question whether or
not it will be reorganized under State laws
will be raised, and circumstances and the
condition of affairs at the time it. is raised,
will have considerable effect on the decision.

!" Wait, eunty, wait Tell me who took care

Her aunt, somewhat taken aback, told her the
story of the rib, and how Eve was full grown

seem to satisfy the child, and her aunt has
been bordering upon the matter ever since.
