Of four masked men bearded the west

CINCINNATI WHISKY CROOKS.
A Cincinnati dispatch dated May 2Sth
says developments in the whisky frauds
in this district are slow. There was an
appearance to-day of coming revela-
ton when thirty-threc witnesses were
brought into Commissioner Hooper's
court to sustain the charges made
against Chris. Sandheger. Twenty. five
of these witnesses were men to whom
Sandheger had sold liquors, and
they were all expected to
swear to some kind of
crooked dealings. Sandheger was re-
presented by ex-Gov. Young and 3.
Butterworth, and waived examination,
leaving all the witnesses with closed
mouths. Sandheger was bound over to
the grand jury in the sum Of $500.
Gen. Sewell, chief of revenue agents,
has gone to Washington, leaving John
Mitchell in charge of the army Of in

| IMMENSE GRAIN TRADE.
A Chicago dispatch under date of
May 28th says the unprecedented move
m ent in grain to and from this market
is attracting considerable attention and
interest, and indicates great revival of
business. Last week the aggregate re-
ceipts of all cereals were $3.50, 81 BUSH
els; the aggregate shipments were
9, los. 223 bushels. Besides this there
were received 4S,1 barrels of -four,
and shipped 1926 barrels. Computing
the flour as wheat, this shows an aggre-
gate movement for the week OF T.
2S5,084 bushels OF grain, figures never
before reached in this or in any other
city ON the continent. To-day the
movement is larger than any hitherto
recorded; 2,542 car loads of grain
came in, of which 1896 were corn, and
43, 400 bushels of grain came by canal
The receipts in bushels would therefore
be for to-day, including Hour, s17 ,7a8;
shipments, 6O2, 755; total movement,
L. 400, 4SS bushels. va
t BISHOP M'COsKRY.
A Detroit dispatch under date of the
2Sth inst, says that Bishop McCoskry,
who arrived here four days ago, and has
since been stopping at the Michigan
Exchange hotel, left for New York this
morning. This action surprises every
one, and inasmuch as it was supposed he
had returned to face his accusers, it
is reported that he renewed his resig-
nation. .I4.3 aj
POPE LDO's HEALTH. st
A dispatch from Rome under date Of
May 28th, says the health of Pope
Leo declines daily, but unless physi-
clans insist upon his departure it will
be difficult to induce him to 80 to the
country. The Fdntela, however, says
the pope will before long leave the vati-
can for other than political reasons.
p3 PAYING FOR THE RIOT.
A Philadelphia dispatch under date
of May 9th says the result of the test
case foreshadows that Allegheny coun-
ty must pay for all goods destroyed in
the poittsburg labor riots. The suit was
brought to recover the value
Of consignment of whisky
destroyed while en- route from Cincin-
natl for Philadelphia. The defense was
that the act making the county liable
was intended to apply to citizens Of
that county only; that the disturbance
was more than mob, and was
an insnrrection, and that if the officers
