CHICAGO, August 0.-A peculiar case
Of crooked whiskey was discovered TO-
day in the rectifying establishment of u.
+. Ford, Oliver 4 CO., No. 20 South Wa.
ter street. The amount involved is about
400 barrels. It seems that large
amount Of whiskey has been shipped by
that firm o the East, principally to Has.
kett & IIelzetgesser, Of indianapolis. The
iaregularity.of the matter Is that while the
barrels had The proper amount Of liquor,
and while the stamp was correctly atIix.
ed and approved by the gauger yet the
stubs on the gaugers books indicate
that only small part Of the correct
amount was contained in the barrels. For
example, where AZ gallons were shipped
the stub would denote only about "a.
From this the conclusion was reached by
Inspector Matthews that crooked whisky
had been gotten into the stills, and that
this means was taken to get Il out, and
that the gauger, ]. N. Hood, who had
done the major part OF the work for the
firm, has connived at The deception. The
error was discovered when the footings
Of the books OF the indianapolis firm were

FoRr GIBSON, August9.-The result Of

for First and Second Chiefs, Senators,

There was no disturbance Of any kind

Downing party took possession OF the
polls, driving of the Judges, taking their
places and receiving the votes. The re.
turns will be thrown out for irregularity,
but the precinct being small will not affect
the general result. The returns come in
slowly, owing to the high stage Of water
in streams having no bridges. They all

WASHINGTON.
THE TREASURY ROBBERS.

WASHINGTON, D. C., August 9.-No
time has yet been fixed for the prelimi,
nary examination OF the persons arrested
for the larceny Of $47 900 package from
the Treasury Department. 0ttman has
employed Richard 7. Merrick as counsel,
and an effort will be made TO have the
bail reduced, but the authorities demand
the bonds. Ottman recently made a
heavy deposit in a bank in Alexandria,
and officers have gone to secure the
money. The employees in the Cash Room
at the Treasury Department have been
watched in all their movements since the
robbery.
The President Of the Germania Saw
ings Bank Of Alexandria, where oItman
has a special deposit, had an interview
to-day with Gen. Spinner and Treasurer
New and has consented that the officers
shall examine the contents Of the pack
ages left by 0ttman.
Ottman appeared to-day before the
Judge and waived a preliminary exam
ination. The Judge after hearing the
statement Of the district attorney re-
Quired bail in $4,000, in default Of
which Ottman was committed.
The sealed package bearing Otlmans
name, which was deposited In the Alex
andria bank, has been opened and found
to contain twenty-nine five hundred dol
lar bills. The package was taken to
Washington. The detectives expect to
recover $4,000 more to-day.
