A suit against the Excise Commissioners
by one Of the lugcr beer wonders who paid for
license. but received only certificate Of ray-
ment. and who WAS arrested and Obliged to close
his place Of business. was yesterday dismissed
the Court holding that an action for damages

they have escaped attack until within the past
wc,k or ten days. An idea OF the dcsolution
which prevails in this afflicted city may be-
formed from the fat that out II n populat. on

people hundred have been diving daily. which
gives the appalling death rat, 81 over one Der
cent a day al the resident population. The
same d ath rate applied to the million OF people
who nhahtt Manhattan Island would produce
