ST. LOUIS, February Ill. w. Douglass
ey commissioner of internal revenue, testified
to day in the Babcock trial to various con-
yersatlons and communications had between
himself and Babcock relative to the doings
of the whiskey ring in St. Louis, showing
an intimate knowledge on the part OF BAD

have been since developed.
The delay in first commencing an lnVesti-
CATION was caused by the fear of etfectlpg
certain elections then pending, and were
further delayed afterwards for similar rea'
sons.

A very persistent effort Is being made to
have the collectors Office of the sixth United
States revenue district removed from Harr
sonburg to this place. A very strong argu.
ment used is that Augusta and Rockbridge
pay more revenue than all the other counties
of the district together.
The noD-payment of the arrears Of the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad employees acts
as great hardship upon many OF the mer-
chants here. One firm alone has been carry
