AFTER MANY DAYS.

The long-lo0ked for and never thought
it-wOuld-come rain arrived last night, and
as a consequence there was much rejoic-
ing. Along towards dusk clouds began
to gather in the north, and the expression
was heard on the streets, Il believe it is
going to rain The belief was soon yer
flied, and shortly before eight o'clock
there was a slight sprinkling, which was
followed by heavy rain, that lasted sew
eral hours There was general sigh of
relief as the clouds poured out their fluid,
and the pattering of the rain had "a mu-
steal sound that pleased the ear The
welcome moisture was rapidly absorbed
by the thirsty earth, whose capacity APP
peared to have no limit, and to-day the
streets would lead one to believe that
only slight rainfall had been expert
enced. One and all agree that it was a
rollicking, frollcking, jolly rain. Give us
some more.

had appeared to acquiesce in the order,
but had done nothing and one of them
now proposed to contest the right of the

seemed to be threatened, wherefore the
health commissioner reported to the
council instead of proceeding further If
the city would fill the streets the full

HAD TO WALK.

A laugh was had at the expense of two
prominent business men yesterday after
noon. They, among Others, started for
the ball game in Milan street car. They
were laboring under the impression that
the game was to take place at the new
grounds, which is only a short distance
from the street car barn. Arriving at the
barn, the dummy could be seen coming at
distance, but the gentlemen, thinking
they could reach the grounds quicker by
walking than waiting for the car, they
started on foot. Although passenger
called to them, saying the game was being
played at the fair grounds, they paid no
attention to him, and went ON their way.
They were considerably taken back when
they arrived at the new grounds and saw
that no one was there. 1t was too late,
however, TO catch the street car, which
was coming behind them at lively rate,
pulled by the dummy. As it was, they
had to walk the whole distance TO the fair
grounds, and arrived several minutes later
| than their companions on the car.

WHISKY SHIPMENTS.
large Quantities Being sent TO the Island
OF Bcrmuda.

NEW YORK, April 12.-The steamship
Marlborough, of the Bermuda line, left her
pier at the foot of West Tenth street this
morning, carrying 1000 barrels of whisky
from Pennsylvania and Ohio distilleries. The
liquor is part of the over production that has
been manufactured during the past five years,
and which has been lying in bondedwarehouses
since 1879. The time has come when the
internal revenue tax must be paid upon IT.,
and to avoid this payment the distillers are
shipping enormous quantities TO foreign
countries, where they will let it lie in store
houses, drawing it out as it is needed. Mr..
Charles Mex. Loeser, editor of the VINE and
Shirt Circuldr,,in referring to this movement
this morning, said:
Before the year is out, over 100000 barrels Of
Liverpool. This result is exactly what was
prophesied would occur If congress failed the eX.
tension of the Bond bill which was proposed last
session for the relief of the distilers The law as
1t now stands, puts an internal revenue tax of
ninety cents per gallon on crude whisky, which
is equivalcntto about 81 so gollonon the refined
liquor. 1t is not required that the tax shall
be paid as soon as the liquor is distilled, but
IL may remain in bonded warehouse for three
years before such payment Is made. This law has
been in force for many years, and until lately It
has caused no hardship TO disillers for 1t is only
within the past two or three years that any dill
ticuty has been felt in finding market In which
TO dispose of the whisky at remuneratlve prices.
Since 1877, however, there has been an enormous
increase in the number and size of distlleries in
the west, and as a consequence the market,whieh
was so free before, is now almost hopelessly
gutted Several million gallons of whisky are
lying idle in Kentucky and Ohio bonded store
houses upon which the tax is due. II would be
much cheaper and more convenient TO send 1t to
Canada, but the Canadian authorities refuse to al
low LIQUOR to cross the line in bond unless II is
in casks holding ninety gallons or h.ore. As all
the American barrels contain less than iorty-tive
gallons, IL would be necessary to make new ones
10 use in Canadian territory aud as this would be
too expensive the idea Of sending liquor there
had TO be abandoned. n
line of steamships, said that his vessels had
carried great deal of whisky TO Bermuda
during the past three months, and that most
of il had been brought back again on the same
ship it had gone out on. After this, however, no
whisky would be brought back until the first
of July, for from now on until summer the
vessel will carry only vegetables on the re-
turn trim,
