The Chicago whisky Conspira

WASHINGTON, January 26.-The coun,
sci for Roelle, Junker and Ford, the Chi.
cago whisky conspirators, state in their
published letter 10 the Attorney General
in substance that their clients stand aS
to suits against them precisely as Jacob
Rehm stood with regard 10 the represen.
tations against him. The facts in The
two cases are entirely different. These
men were distillers Of whisky, and had
property which was seized as forfeited TO
the government, and the pending suits
relate entirely 10 the forfeiture Of that
property, and are not for the punishment
Of the parties. Rehm was not a diatiller
or rectifier Of spirits, and no property oi
his was seized for forfeiture. He was in.
dicted with about thirty others under
section s, ,440 OF the Revised Statutes for
conspiring TO deiraud the United States,
and for doing certain acts to effent the
object OF conspiracy. He was promised
such immunity as the Court should think
proper for the offenses described In the
Indictment II he would turn State evi.
dence, which he did, and he was not re.
leased from punishment, but was sen.
fenced to a fine Of 81 900 and imprison.
ment for two years, and actually remained
in prison three months and paid a fine Of
$1,000. When he was pardoned final
suits were brought against him TO
enforce penalty which would
subject him TO a fine OF 5000
and imprisonment for three years for the
precise acts described In the Indictment
upon which he had already been sentenc.
ed and these were pending after he had
suffered his imprisonment and paid his
fine. II was only because Rehm had full.
ly performed his agreement to testify
against his co.conspirators and had
pleaded guilty and suffered tine and i'm.
prisonment therefor, and because he was
now prosecuted for precisely the same
acts for which he had already suffered,
that he was discharged. The provision
Of the Constitution that no person shall
be subject for the same offence TO be twice
put in jeopardy applied TO his case and
entitled him to be released from the sec.
ond prosecution. Koelle, Junker & Ford
were distillers Of whisky. They were
prosecuted for The crime and their whis.
ky was seized as forfeited. They turned
states evidence and received full immu-
nifty for their criminal acts, being sub.
jected TO no fine or imprisonment what.
ever. They now ask TO have their whis.
Ky, which was forfeited to the Govern.
ment, restored 10 them and this the At
torney General and the Secretary OF the
Treasury very properly decline to do.
This proceeding Is against the whisky and
not against the men. Any lawyer, ex-
cept the counsel for the whisky conspira.
tors, would readily see the difference be-
tween the two cases.

proceeded to the election Of new Board

aud Capt. A. Wilson. The last years
statement showed quite falling of in
receipts, but it also showed a reductionin
expenses. NOdiyidend was paid in July
and only 4 per cent this January. The
company, however, is in good shape for
future business. Some points prepared
BY Mr.. Hail are Of general interest,
and we are indebted to him for them,
a, follows: The main line is four
miles in length and the Bridgeport
line / miles, the two making a total OF
81 miles. There are eight cars on the
main line and three cars on the Bridge
port branch. On some occasions four or
five extra cars are run, the company
never having sold their old cars. Each car
on the main line makes eight round trips,
or Is miles per day, and each Bridgeport
car makes 81 round trips, or 52l miles
per day. Each main line car travels
9i,SOO miles in the course OF year. or
once round the world; and each Bridge
port car 1912 miles; both lines oggre-
eating the vast sum total Of 4SS,S07 miles
per year. FifLy.iour horses are used on
both lines, four for each car, and ten for
relief in case of accident or sickness.
Each car has its team changed
four times each day, each horse
working only four hours out of the "a.
Eich horse eats IA pounds Of chop feed or
oats and IA pounds Of hay per day. They
require in the course OF year 1856 tons
Of chop feed or about s, 900 bushcl Of oats,
and lSG tons Of hay. There are 81 men
employed by the company, beside the su'
perintendent aud Secretary, Is OF whom
are drivers, two being extra men for the
relief Of the regular drivers, SO as not TO
work any driver more than six days in
the week. Eleven men are employed in
the stables, including blacksnilths and
the three hands who keep the track in re-
pair. There we're carried during the last
year 725GOS passengers and s,SS2 pack
ages. The carrying Of packages has got
to be quite an extensive business with
the street railway, and the public find the
cars cheap and convenient method of
shipping packages to any point, public
or private, along the line. An ordinary
package is carried for 5 cents, including
delivery by the driver at any house on
bis route. Larger packages arc charged
10 cents. In every case the company
requires the driver to give receipt to
the shippers and a failure TO do SO is
cause for dismissal II reported.
Among the leading items Of expense
last year were SlG,9O7 rs for wages,
$685. 10 for feed, and S4,2l5 SO for
toll. on the Bridgeport line. The re-
eeipts from Bellaire travel for the year
were S2,455 SO. The Bellaire travel still
lacks close connection at Benson's Ferry,
but it ia the intention OF the company to
