CtncinnatI Enterprise.

There is nothing in which the enterprise Of
Cincinnati is more apparent than in the Oys-
ter, Fish and Game business On passing the
well-known Oyster Depot Of ]. Il. FREY, No.
1876 and 1s7 West Fifth street, on Thursday last,
we noticed him making large shipments OF
Fish to some fifty different points outside OF
the city. On making inquiry as to the amount
Of business done in this line by him, we were
shown receipts for OVER ONE HUNDRED BAR
RELs Of Fish containing 200 pounds each net,
or O,OOO pounds, equal to ten ton, or o full car
load, sold and shipped by him on that day.
The amount Of business done by this house is
really incredible. The shipments are not con-
fined alone to Ohio and adjoining Statcs, but
extend to many of the most distant States OF
the Union. In fact there is hardly train OF
cars arriving or departing to and from the city
but has large consignments to or from j. t.
Frey. We wish him continuance OF his past
success.

The first grand mass rehearsal for the
May Festival, under Mr.. Theodore
Thomas direction, took place at Expo
silion Hall last evening IN the presence
of over o thousand holders OF season
tickets and was a grand success, even
SURPRISING the expectations OF the most
sanguine. Mr.. Thomas was greeted with
storms of applause on his appearance,
and returned the compliment with a
score of enthusiastic "brayos," during
the pauses in the rehearsal of the

by the company. All the musicians,
IeXcept the thirty coming IRON Phila-

Tire success in the TI'itnnphlied, which

upon the programme, was especially
marked, ahd was subject OF much con.
graduation by Mr.. Thomas ana by tine
musical critics present. The traiAine

BOLD ROBBERY.
A Band Of Masked Men get $4,000
from O II. 8. Express car.
No Trace of Outlaws or Money.

St. Louis, December Is. Between and )
O'Clock this morning the t. s. express car on the
St. Louis, Kansas City / Northern train, due here
at els a. m, was entered between Ferguson and
Jennings station, 10 or T. miles from here. Mes
senger Charles kincad was thrown into large
package chest and locked up and the safe
robbed of $4,000 in money and bonds. kincaid
says he was lying on one of the package boxes in
the car, half asleep, when he felt a heavy hand
upon his shoulder, and on turning his head around
was confronted by pistol in the hands Of a
masked man. Before he could speak he was
seized by the collar Of his coat, from behind, and
under the cover of two more pistols, in the hands
Of another masked man, was thrust into a large
package box, which had been emp,ied Of its con-
tents by the robbers, and the lid closed on him
and locked. lie does not know what occurred
after that until the train reached ST. Louis, where
hc was released, except that he heard the men
working at the safe and supposed they were
robbng it.
He says that the doors of the car, besides being
locked with the ordinary snap lock, are secured by
chains fastened loosely on the inside, that they
can be opened few inches, but so that no one
can open the car.
sas City, observed that one of the staples on the
rear door had been drawn out. and that the chains
on that door were useless. After leaving Mexico
the messenger has nothing to do, and usually
takes maps on that end Of the route. When Kin
caid laid down on the package box he took the
precaution to place his heaviest trunk, weighing
$50 pounds against the door, so that even if it
we're unlocked from the outside it could not be
opened without pushing this trunk. This was
half asleep condition did not hear it.
Kncaid can give but very meagre descrip-
ton of the robbers, and the detectives here have
so far very little information to work upon.

RHODE ISLAND.
Suspended,

Prov idence, December IS. The banking firm
of Green / Cranston of this city, suspended pay
ment this morning and assigned TO James Y.
Smith. Their liabilities are represented to be
S675 000 The cause of the suspension is believed
to be inability to realize on advances made to an
arms manufacturing company amounting to $780,
900.
The immediate cause of Green < Cranston's
suspension was the failure of the Providence Tool
Company, which has large contracts with the
Turkish government for arms, to meet maturing
obligations at the bankers. 1t is supposed that
delay in expected remittances from Turkey is at
the bottom of the trouble.
LATER.
The Providence Tool Co. will issue statement
to- morrow showing that it has a contract with the
Turkish government for the manufacture Of 60O,-
600 rifles, with the option of accepting an addi-
tional order for 200, 900. That large expenditures
have been made in the preparation of buildings
machinery and TOOLS so that the present capacity
Of manufacture is 1000 rifles per week, employing
1900 men. During the year the company has re-
duced the debt incurred in making preparations
$500 900 and added $500, 900 to its general assets
A combination Of unfortunate circumstance Tex
planned in the circular) has put the company under
financial endorsements and compels II to ask its
creditors to grant such extension as will enable it
to carry to successful result the enterprise in
which it is engaged. A committee will be invited
to examine the company's affairs and report forth
with. The statement represents that the assets Of
the company, at q low valuation, exceed over and
above its liabilities 81, 600 Under the exist.
ing accepted contracts the company has already
manufactured 900, 900 rifles, leaving $4,000 in
process or vet to be made in fulflment Of the
present contracts. Probably 1907 900 of this mum.
Der can be completed from materials on hand now
in various stages of progress, and in the produc-
ton of which l2 Of the cost Of labor TO fully
plete them has been already paid, and no further
outlay is required for machinery, tools or build

WASHINGTON.
Whiskey Frauds.

Washington, December IS. There was no ad-
ditonal developments from the Treasury on the
subject of the whskey frauds. Interest here is
being centered in reports of prominent parties i'm
plicated in ring having its origin and headquar-
tors at Chicago but the Treasury officials are en-
tirely reticent on the subject. Bluford Wilson,
licitor Of the Treasury, persstently refuses to
give any information ON the subject.
But there are positive indications that the de-
partment is increasing the vigor of its investiga-
ton. The secretary as well as the solicitor,
seems disposed, for what they consider prudential
reasons, to give no information at this time as to
what progress has been made in further investiga-
ton OF reports received at the department having
reference to the subject of these frauds. Wilson
will soon make another report to the secretary on
the matter, but at present no information can be
obtained as to its purport.
Fitz John Porter.
The friends Of Fitz John Porter say they have
reason fer believing that the executive authority
will take no action on the request Of Gen. Porter
for review of his case.

this city and throughout the State viii be panied
to learn of his sudden death yesterday About II
o'clock he was attending to his duties IN the nted
States District Court when he was suddenly seized
with an apopletic stroke. He continued IN an un,
conscious state until last night, when he breathed
his last at $40 O'Clock.
General Erskne was born in Bristol, Me , and
came to the West about twenty years ago. He
served through the war with distinction as Colonel
of the Thirteenth Illinois Cavalry. For gallant
services he received at the close OF the war bre-
vet brgadier generalship. He entered the gov
eminent service after his retirement from the
army, and was appointed chief clerk in the office
Of General NJ X. NJ. Wallace, then assessor for
internal revenue for this district. Subsequently
he held position Of trust in the Chicago post
Office and about three years ago he was appointed
to clerkship in the United States District Court,
by Judge Drummond, who was his cousin.
Of his social and personal qualities too much
cannot be said. lie was one OF the few men that
are beloved by all that know them. He possessed
a cultured mind, gentle manners, and generous,
warm heart. His friends enjoyed all the pleasure
that only TENDER sympathetic heart can bestow.
-Four or five years ago he was welded to the
only daughter Of Mr.. VIM. F. DeWolf, an old and
highly esteemed resident Of this city, and his
married life though short, was typical Of the mans
character. To his wife and children he was de-
votedly attached. With them in the balance, the
outside world possessed no charms for him, and
with her three children the widow is left to mourn
the SuQuen loss Oh ner HuSDauu' IN LIS IIiC uc
was always the affectionate husband, the self.sac
rifcng and faithful friend, and the Christian gen.
teman.
His taking off was very sudden. For two or
three days past he has complained of pain in his
head and yesterday with his pen in his hand at
his work, he received the summons Of death. Drs.
Chas. G. Smith and Lewis Dodge were called in
at once and rendered the stricken man all the as
sistance in their power. Their efforts were of no
avail He rapidly sank, and at $40 last night his
spirit passed into that realm "from which no trav-
eler e 'er returns"
