THE PROHIBITION CRAZE.
Something in Which the Liquor Trade
Has Good Reason for Alarm.

The liquor trade seems to have good
reason for alarm at the total absti-
hence wave which is sweeping the
West. In Kansas the Prohibitory
law has driven the traffic out of sight
and made it SO dangerous that only
reckless men will engage in it. In
Iowa the recently adopted constitu-
tional amendment has been declared
valid by the Courts, and the next Leg
islature will be compelled to enact a
statute to wholly prevent the manu-
facture and sale of spirituous bever-
ages. In Indiana a prohibitory act
has passed one branch of the Legisla-
ture, and will unquestionably become
law. Connecticut has a new law re-
curing the names of five taxpayers
on every petition for license, and, as
no name can appear Oh two petitions
this greatly restricts the number OF
bar-rooms. The noted Pond law OF
Ohio has been declared unconstitu.
tional, but new legislation against
rum is being arranged for next winter
Michigan has imposed an immense
license tax, intended to close the
small saloons. Anti-treating laws in
Nebraska and Wisconsin having been
nulli6ed by court decisions, the enc.
mics of alcohol are getting ready fol
something more stringent. The ques
ton Of prohibition will be an impor
tant one in the fall elections of Nortt
Carolina, Illinois, and probably sew
eral other States. Even in Kentucky
great producer of whisky, formid
able agitation is in progress.

Pretty Decent HighWaymcn.

Those knights Of the road who way
laid and robbed the kelton coach,
about 10 Gays ago, were not such bad
men, after all, as it appears that, after
breaking open the envelopes of all
letters found in Wells, Fargo & Co.'s
box and looking for bank bills or other
currency, they carefully replaced all
checks, drafts, and money orders, and
returned the letters to the box. These
letters are now being heard from.
John NJ. Cannady, manager of w. B.
Mobiles house in this city, received
one yesterday from San Francisco.
Upon the torn envelope were written
the words: Opened by highwaymen,
near Kelton." The accompanying
letter explained that the draft had
come through all right. The robbers
had evidentally acted with almost
scrupulous consciousness.

The M0selle Wrecked.

LONDON, August 9.-The steamer
Moselle, from Bremen for New York,
is aground under Lizard Point, with
hole through her bow. Tugs have
been sent to her assistance. She had
mails for New York, a full compile

including French jewelry valued at
1880 francs.
Immediately after she struck nine
boats were launched, and the Lizard
ife-boat came out. The forward com.
partmcnt filled with water. The rocks
on Which the vessel lies are very dan
gerous. The lower births and engine
room are dry. The vessel is settling
to port as the tide GIBBS. Should the
weather continue fine it is probable
that the cargo will be saved in dam.
aged condition.
The vessel is sinking by the stern,
although there is no chance of float
ing her. She was in charge of the
first officer at the time she struck.
