REVENUE AFFAIRS.

There is said to be some trouble in store
for certain persons who fail to obliterate
the stamps and marks upon liquor and beer
kegs before allowing them to leave their
premises.
A short time ago three casks, among
others sent from Buffalo. Iowa. to this
city and Davenport, via. the steamer
Viola, were detained by Capt. Ballard, of
the Internal Revenue service, because the
stamps were not properly removed.
1t appears that the laws on the subject
will reach Capt Pierce, of the Viola, for
carrying the casks when the stamps are
not totally obliterated The Captain was
ignorant of the fact that common carrier
was made liable, and will plead that fact
in justification of his conduct.
1t is stated that a summons will be is
sued and served against both the shipper
and the carrier for the carelessness in al
lowing casks to pass without a total oblit-
Grafton of the stamps

DROPPED DEAD.

This morning man by the name of
Jones, engaged in delivering candy about
the streets, fell dead while in his wagon.
He came over from Davenport, where he
lived. during the early morning and was
employed as above stated when death over
took him. His death occurred near Blom-
bergs grocery store, at the corner of Ninth
street and Sixth avenue.
The son of the deceased was notified by
telephone, and Immediately came over to
this city, and repaired to the spot where
his parents remains were located.
It is stated that the wife of the deceased
died about one month ago. and that since
that time the widower has been somewhat
depressed in spirits. He was enjoying his
usual good health last evening, and gen
eral surprise is manifested at his sudden
death.
He leaves four children, three sons and
one daughter. One of the sons is married,
and lives in the lower part of this city.
The coroner was notified, and will hold
an inquest during the day. 1t is thought
that death was produced from heart dis
ease.
This afternoon Coroner Morris impanel-
led jury, and an inquest was held. The
name of the deceased was found to be w.
G. Jones, an old resident of this city and
Davenport. A verdict of death from heart
disease was submitted by the jury.

of auditors.
DIR. Birds prize tragedy of eThe Gladi-
ator' was presented last. evening, and a
more finished performance of that difficult
play was never seen In this city. 1t was
not alone the grand acting of the star, but
it was general meritorious work on the
part of each member of the support which
rendered the entertainment so successful.
Mr.. Mccullough as Spartacus was the ideal
gladiator; his fine physique, well-modulat-
ed voice, displaying latent power, and his
general appearance rendered him in every
way qualified to fill the exacting require
ments of the difficult character. That he
did so to the satisfaction of the audience,
was evidenced by the hearty applause and
calls before the curtain which greeted him
Edmund Collier was also very clever,
and his fine representation of the character
which fell to him, caused him to share the
honors of the evening with the star. His
description of the horrors ON the cross was
certainly worthy of the applause which &C
corded it
Miss Kate Forsythe, Mr.. Leon Langdon
and others, acquitted themselves creditably,
and contributed to the success of the enter
tainment, which will rank among the few
finished performances given in this city.

AN ELOpEMENT.

Two parties registered their names at the
Commercial house, in this city, yesterday,
as I'll. nj. Parry and Miss Emma Parry,
from Geneseo. They gave out that they
were brother and sister, the latter being
only fifteen years of age. During the even
ing dispatch arrived from Peoria stating
that man by the name of Day and a
young girl, Maria Van Eppe, had left the
city together. The Rock Island police
were requested to arrest the girl and send
her back to Peoria.
Some little difficulty was experienced in
finding the couple, but finally they were
discovered at the Commercial. The girl
was sent back to her parents this morning.
1t is supposed that the affair was simply
an elopement, which was spoiled by the
arrest in this city.

The fact that rye has during the past
twelve months exceeded the value of the
best grades Of wheat in the Chicago mar
ket and has been cornered frequently of
late makes any reliable information con
corning the prospects of the growing crop
especially interesting to distillers and grain
dealers The open warm winter has been
favorable for the continued growth of this
crop on all except wet or overlooked land.
The crop has generally come through the
winter in good condition and reports show
that rye is in more promising condition in
Northern Illinois than in the central or
southern divisions.
In Northern Illinois the rye crop will
make three per cent more than an average
yield per acre. The condition is uniform
~ good on drained land, and only three of
the northern counties report the prospects
unfavorable for an average yield per
acre, and in these three counties (Bu
reau, Carroll and Iroquois) the crop win
be less than five per cent. below an aver
age.
Al O1uHuy, AOnudAi' LitosaAie aHu l1iN-
ingston counties, considerable rye has been
destroyed by high water.
In Bureau, Grundy, Henry, Iroquois,
Kendall, Livingston and Woodford, rye has
been injured ON wet lands by the freezing
and thawing weather. About eight per
cent. of the area of rye has been destroyed
by excessive rains, and as large an area has
been winter killed.
Over half the rye produced in the state
is grown in Northern Illinois.

While there seems to be some opposition
to the change, we feel convinced that 1t
will prove great advantage to the Order,
as soon as its intention and results are full
ly comprehended. 1t win necessarily con-
fine the working lodge to that class OF
