The immense deposit in the vicinity OF

that the country between the Eureka

with the same kind of ore. Hodyman,
Tucker, Smith and Long, recently

"The change in the tariff winch most

The fact that the new rate does not

more importation. The increase was
made at the instance of the producers
of Connecticut, Pennsylvania and the
Middle States. While the domestic
tobacco raised is not as good as the
foreign wrappers, it serves the purpose,
and the supply is so great that there
will be no difficulty in filing the mar

of home producers was too great to be
resisted
CAS- to the effect of the increase,
some manufacturers assert that 1t will

"The chief interest in the tobacco
trade centers in the change in the In
ternational Revuenue law, which has
reduced the tax on cigars and manu-
featured tobacco so per cent The CT

thousand, and the manufactured tobac-
CO tax from Is to s cents pound
The opinion of the trade seems to be
that cigar smokers will not get much
benefit from this reduction because il
is so small The reduction on a ten
cent cigar would be so trihing that il
could not be measured to the consumer
With manufactured tobacco the case
is diflernt, as the quantity for givet

be made to produce cigars of little
larger size to give the consumer the
benefit OF the tax, but it seems to be
conceded that the principal benefit viii

MYSTERIOUS MARAUDER.
How Henry Heuser's House was Rob-
bed and tho Burglar Caught.

For five or six weeks past the saloon and
restaurant OF Mr.. Henry Heuser. No. 1918
Main street, has been entered and money
and goods taken away. The proprietor
would close his house about midnight, and
see in person that all the doors and win
dows were securely locked. Then he
would leave in the cash-drawer three or four
dollars as change to be used by his assist
ant, Mr.. John Kinker, who opened the
house in the morning.
About the time mentioned above the
change left began to disappear, and in
spite OF every precaution rs to bolts and
bars the act would be repeated.
The closest inspection of the premises
failed to disclose the least clue to the per-
lpetrators OF the deed.
The door-locks were all right; the win
dows intact.
Last week n gentleman left pistol at the
saloon. The next morning it was gone.
Mr. Heuser saw it at midnight. Before
morning 1t was spirited away.
He marked three trade dollars and laid
them on a shelf behind his bar one night.
The next morning they were missing.

and he determined to see a detective. 9
At John Wren's detective agency he
told the story. and Wren sent one ef his

Mr.. Heuser, and when this gentleman

No one came that night, and Friday
night the detective again secreted himself
in the house.
About 4:30 O'Clock next morning from
his place OF concealment the detective saw
man approach the front door OF the saloon
and peer inside cautiously and intently.
The detective kept quiet. and presently
heard noise in the rear. IL was the same
man breaking into the kitchen. Presently
he came out Ct the kitchen, went to a side
window, and with a large. long knife
slipped it under the sash, shot the bolt
back, raised the window, and nOiselessly
leaped in. He made his way behind the
lunch-cOunter towards the bar and CASH
drawer, and when about half way Detective
Sutherland hailed hlm. He started to run.
but threat OF shooting from the detecllVe
stopped him. He gave the name OF William
Stewart, is colored man, and was at one
time employed by Mr.. Heuser as an assist
ant cook. About week ago he was dis
charged on account OF worthess1esS.
The detective tied the negro's hands and
turned him over to a policeman, who took
him to the station-houSc.
The mystery at Heuser's was solved.
Stewart was taken before Police-Justice

case was certified to the Hastings Court
and he sent to Jail.

Thank You. Nr. SpOtt.

Once upon time clock used to tick of
the hours in the lobby for the accOmmoda-
ton of patrons at the post-oilice. 1t was 4
faithful time-piece, and many belated pc
destrianS have sighed as they tripped up
the post-ofiice steps and saw by a glance at
its face that they were too late to catch the
mails.
Lonely reporters, toiling homeward alter
midnight and a lard days labor, were re-
iieyed many time by seeing from this
clock that ii was not quite 2 O'Clock. But
for the post-ofce time-piece they perhaps
would have worried over the thought that
il was later in the night. In fact, the clock
was a sort OF public benefactor, and when
it was taken down at the beginning OF last
winter it was sadly missed.
Yesterday it was back in its old place. or
at least clock was there. This one does not
have quite so large or so jolly face as the
old-time friend, but it has an honest coun-
tenance, and will express times flight as
faithfully as the other perhaps, il appear
ances indicate facts. As soon Is Richmond
saw the old place Of the clock hid by the
smooth face OF the mahOgany-encased dial
Of the neWly-put-up recorder OF time 1t at
once said, " Thank you, Mr.. SpOtt." and
the new clock caught enough compliments
TO make it, face shine with genial glow
and cause it to put itself on its correct be-
haViOr for a long time.

PRACTICAL HINTS II RELATION TO THE sELEC
TION OF A SITE AND THE BUILDING.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:

PRACTICAL HINTS IL RELATION TO THE SELEC-
TIoN OF A SITE AND THE BUILDING.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Having read all communications with re-
gard to the above subject, as well rs the
resolutions passed by the Common Council
and the one ratified by the vote Of the peO-
pie, and feeling deep interest on the SUBJ
ject. have concluded to give few views
that have occurred to me with regard to it.
First. as il now stands there has been
appropriated by vote OF the people $780,
000. together with the old lot corner OF
Eleventh and Broad streets, with eXpecta-
ton that the city will be furnished with a
CITY Hall. This amount, | think, should
be beyond question the limit, including
both the purchase OF the ground as well as
the cost OF construction OF the building,
unless the people choose by vote to give
more before the building shall have been
begun: and IL the committee and City En-
gineer conclude that it will be best to eN-
ceed that amount, then il should be decided
by vote OF the people at once whether this
amount shall be increased or not. | think
The sum already appropriated ample to
furnish a building which will be OF full
capacity, as well as an ornament to the city,
and certainly rs much as should be spent,
when it l. known that the city has already
floating and bonded debt nearly equal 10
the maximum amount allowed to be in
Cured by her charter.
Now as TO the site. The Council at sew
eral different meetings has concluded that
the old site is the proper one. For what
reasons we do not know, but 1t seems to
me that neither the Council nor the people
have had light enough on the subject.
First. before deciding this point, there
should be some definite idea OF the size OF
the lot required. the area that Is ab-
solutely necessary for the building, ana
then how much is desired for yard; then,
after decidding this point, written options,
as far a. possible, should be obtained for
saw three or six months on all available
suitable lots in the city. l do not thlnk
the committee should be tied down 10 one
or two lots unless il has been decided that
the old lot Is sufficient without any further
nurcbose. n il may be that better site
can be purchased for less money than is re-
o,ured for what is thought necessary to get
IN addition TO that now owned by the city.
In addition to the lots already spoken OF
there is a beautiful lot at the corner oil
Main and Fifth streets, which, think, Is
preferable to either OF the two now under
discussion. There is also the lot ut the
corner OF Broad and Eighth streets, the
old depot lot; the lot now used Tor CITY
Hall by adding the Valentine House; the
alto ~ the st. Clair Hotel, and many Others
might be found which would answer as
we'll. u not better. The old site Is GER
tainIy in very inconvenient position

little likelihood OF any extension thai

Committee OH Light.

At the last meeting OF the Committee on
Light, the chairman, Mr.. John NJ. Hig-
gins, appointed committee to examine
into and report the system of bookkeeping
and accounts in the department. The
committee consists OF Messrs. Powers and
Bowie. Mr. Higgins also appointed Messrs.
Gum. Bowie, and Taylor committee to
examine the pay.rolls of the department,
ascertain the amount OF work done. and the
duty Of each employe, and report the same
at the next meeting OF the committee. The
committee is determined to keep expenses
as low as possible, and as its members
comprise some OF the best material in the
Council, there is no danger Of their failing
to keep everything under their supervision
in ship-shape.
The work of remodelling the works is
progressing smoothly, and will be pushed
as hastily as possible to completion.
