WASHINGTON, september z.
;, The discovery of g. gang of veritable
"moonshiners" in the capital city of the
United States attracted much attention
to-day, and drew large crowd to the
Office of United States Commissioner
Plant, where the hearing took place.
For some time it has been rumored that
there were Illicit stills in operation in
the District, and this morning the rumor
proved true. United States Deputy
Marshal Taylor, Police Lieutenant
Noonan and several internal revenue
officers ascertained that still was in op-
Grafton in q store at 1881 I, between
Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets, once
known as Kidwell's drug store, and now
use by f. /. Brooke & Co. as @ provision
and meat store. The site was in one of
the most aristocratic portions of the city,
within few hundred yards of the in
ternal re-snue Office, and but little further
distant from the Presidents house. A
raid was arranged and made Just before
noon to-day. Mr.. Brooke was arrested at
his store door, and, on ascending the
stairs, the officers found distillery capa-
Bile of Making 300 gallons of spirits in
operation. The practical distiller, Rich
ard Burke, was arrested here, with
Charles O'Brien and a companion. All
the others found on the premises and
who came there were also arrested, and
Gauger Bliss examined and noted the
strength of the mashes which lay in the
tubs awaiting distillation. One Of the per-
sons, III. Lewis, who was arrested, ran
of, but was captured and brought back,
and the entire party, which, with the Of
ficers,. made O Considerable throng,
moved to the United States Commission
er's Office. where r. T. Dyer, James r.
Young. Charles O'Brien, F. I Brooke.
Richard Burke aud Marion Lewis were
placed on trial before United States
Commissioner Plant. The case was par
TALLY heard and then postponed until
Thursday. Lewis end O'Brien were re-.
leased upon their own recognizances, r.
Il. Dyer, T. /. Brooke and James K.
Young held in So 1000, aud P;chard Burke
in 81 900 bail for further appearance.
Charles C'Brien, one of the party, was
formerly q metropolitan policeman.
He killed man named Cunning
ham, at Green Springs, near Georgetown.
and wassentenced to be hung, but by inter.
position of General Butler and the Grand
Army Republic the sentence was COM
muted to imprisonment for life in the
Albany penitentiary. Some two years
ago, after As had been in the peni-
tentiary,t ne was pardoned on the
ground that he was too ill to live. His
wife remarked while he was in the peni-
tentiary, and he has since been at litiga-
ton with her concerning the custody of
the children.

peace which the world could neither give

they were brought in sympathy with his
preaching from its sincerity, plainness
