way they improved it yesterday was caution,
one of them. whose rear name might be spelled
with Nc, walking four miles and three

The Attorney General will furnish the State

SEIZURE OF THE PAUL SEAVY.

Yesterday the Collector OF the Port seized the
schooner Paul Seavy lthe vessel that brought
the polish immigrants from Venezuea) for in
fringement by the captain of the law relative to
the carrying capacity of vessels. The law per-
mits the carriage of one person to two regis
tered tons.
The schooner having brought over 262 per-
sons when her tonnage Is 237. has violated said
law.
On hearing of this seizure Mr.. Bogel. presi-
dent of the immigration Bureau, drew up q
petition. which was signed by many business
men of this city. praying the Governor to in
tercede In favor Of the captain who, far from
being punished for this violation Of the law.
ought to be rewarded. considering the circum-
stances under which he disobeyed the law.
Gov. Nichols took the matter n under n q. oonsid-
ance and influence he could command to aid
the captain in this matter.
The petition will be forwarded to Washing
ton and it is hoped that the gallant captain OF
the Paul Seavy will be dealt leniently with for n
fault committed under such extenuating cir

Tho committee appointed by the liquor deal

Auditor with complying with the provisions OF

to tho uneonStltNUOnal1ty OIL the Dill coula not
be learned. ,
One rumor Ia that they will set forth In the
petition that the law is unconstitutional ia tnat
Its provisions compel unequal taxation. An
other Ia that the pleadings will set forth that II
enfoI ced the law will compel hundreds OF small
groceries In the suburbs to close up, as they can
no. afford to keep open without tbeir lit g bar
attachment from which theyAderive small rev.
enue but which, with the small profits on the
groceries sold. enable them to exc out sup
The groceries are located In NIL the suburbs
of the city. and by retailing very small
amountssometimes hut n nickels worth-of
tea, sugar or coffee, they accommodate the very
women, etc, who are not able to patronze
larger establishments, from the fact that sci
dom If ever, do they have over couple OF dol
lars In the house Mt one time.
These grocerymen say they can make fifty or
seyenty- five cents day profit on their bars,
but If they are compelled to pay the Motett tax
they must close up. as they cannot afford to pay
that and the grucer's license, and the result will
be that tho poor people will be compelled to go
come down. or np town, rs the case may be. and
patronze the larger establishments. which they
cannot afford to do,

THE TOW-nOAT TROUBLE.
An Investigation to be Had Before the
United states Grand Jury.

Although there have been no new developments
in the tow boat imbroglio Of late the interest
in II Ia still unabated. The matter Is of such
importance that 1t will not down" at the mere
bidding, and is as much now as before the sub
iect of some worry warm discussions. A number
of DAYS ago the DEMOCRAT published an inter
view with Mr.. w. G. Coye of the Good Intent
Line, In which that gentleman stated that 1t
was the purpose Of the Association to file n suit
at once for libel against Mr.. j. W. Black for
pubIishlug the charges he made against that
body relative to grounding vessels In the Jet
tiea. This, 1t was thought would compel an in
auiry into these charges, and bring the truth to
light. As some time has elapsed since that in
terview and no suit has rs yet been brought q
reporter yesterday called at the office of Mr..
Coyle for the purpose of learning the causes of
the delay. Mr. Goyle unfortunately was out
but the reporter met Capt Thomas Mcclellan,
of the Ocean Line. and member OF tho assoct-
toned. Capt. Mcclellan said he had nothing to
say on the subject of tho proposed suit against
Mr., Black. He proposes. ne said. TO Let ct the
grand jury which will inquire into the charges
next week.
Black, who In an interview and card. laid at tho
doors of the association the charges spoken of.
Mr.. Black stated that he was ready and anxious
70 prove every allegation he had made heret2
for the suit Tor damages to be fled but the as
sociation had not brought it. IA Mr., Coyle
stated they would. He could not compel them
to bring the suit against himself but when
ever they did he would
MEET THEM AT ONCE
with plenty Of Witnesses to substantate all he
had said. He called the attention of the re-
porter to the late refusal of the Towboat Asso-
citation to send his kilograms over Its lines and
the subsequent arrest of the operator. He said
that lately the Good Intent Towboat Company
had painted out their telegraph company
signs; having shown by this that they acknowl-
fore except to opposition boats.
During the mornings, in the, United States
q to hn en s aea
certain PARTIES for blocking up and interfering
with tho letties. He read tho special statute.
relative to the penalties for interfering with the
work on the letties, and also more general
law bearing on tho subject. He instructed the
Jury to make II full inquiry into the matter. and
that body adjourned.
