THE WAR AT SYRACUSE, N. Y, between the
temperance and liquor interests, took a new
turn Tuesday. The temperance people had
been led to expect by the board Of excise COM
misstoDers that the excise laws would be car
'ied out to the very letter, and they accordingly
collected testimony against liquor dealer for
violating the excise laws. When the case was
brought before the board Ii was dismissed as
being too frivolous for action. The complain
ants were Rev. o. Fl. Warren, and c. A. Ham,
mond, attorney. Tuesday notices were served
On each excise commissioner to the effect that
at term OF court to be held July mandamus
would be asked for to compel the board to tax
cognizance OF the case as presented. The bee
and liquor dealers OF the city also held meet
ing. This association is composed of nearly 20
liquor dealers, representing a capital
81 ,OoO,O 600, pledged to make common caus
against any enforcement OF the excise laws A
serious division has already occurred In tn
temperance ranks as to the advtsability O
taking legal proceedings to enforce the laws
The legal movement is morally sustained by
majority OF the clergy, and also by the two fe
male temperance organizations,

COX IN THE TOMBs-Confinement in the tombs
does not appear 10 agree with Mrs. Hull's MUIR
derer, Chastine Cox. Yesterday he passed the
long hours lying on bis cot, with his gaze fixed
on his narrow cell window. His lack OF educa-
ton renders books or newspapers OF no use to
MIN; He, however, occupied some little time
In the morning In looking at an illustrated
paper: His companion, also negro, argues that
Cox Is thoroughly out OF sorts owing to his
change OF diet and close quarters Many curious
persons call at the prison to see and talk with
the prisoner, but he Will not converse, not even
with women, who are largely represented
among the visitors. Hence Warden Finn shows
the visitors past the cell, but no conversation
with Cox is allowed. Henry Bergh held short
conversation with the criminal In the morning.
On Monday evening the prisoner spent some
time In cleaning off the plaster and wax that
remained on his hair and face after the cast
was taken. A quantity OF hair from the front
OF his head came off In consequence. which did
not appear TO please him. In the afternoon he
took strange fancy to pull pieces of wool from
his head: He succeeded in tearing away quite
q quantity. At first he said he intended to sell
it to those who would buy 1t. then he said he
wished to present some TO one OF the Keepers
and, lastly, denied having any particular reason
for the act.-(N. Y. Herald, I'd.
