PETERSBURG. January 20, 1885.
At meeting of the Tobacco Asso-
citation to-day report was submitted
by the special committee appointed
week ago to investigate charges made
by member of the body relative to
certain reclamations remaining unpaid.
The statement was made that unpaid
reclamation claims amounting to over
one thousand dollars were held IN TINS
city. which could be purchased at
twenty-five cents on the dollar. ms
was deemed as TO some extent reflect
inc upon the whole Association, aud
hence the appointment of the committee
10 ascertain who was derclict in this re-
spect. When the Association met to-
day there was full attendance
of members, and number oil
interested spectators were also pre-
sent. The committee reported
that "they find reclamatlons
on account of inaccurate sampllng to
the amount of about lao in the
hands of buyers. OF this amount MIR.
Noltenius holds reclamations, sub
stantiated by evidence, amounting to
500, which, owing to delays beyond
his control, did not arrive in time to be
made claims, according to the bylaws
of the Association. The remaining re-
CARNATIONS held by other parties, Tin
GLIDING Mr.. Noltenius,) amounting to
about $40, are against only one party
in the trade, which claims are acknow-
lodged but unpaid at present"
This report was not satisfactory to
the Association. because it did not spe-
city by whom the claims were due, or
where the samples were drawn. The
report was therefore referred back to
the committee with instructions to re-
mort names and facts. The committee
thereupon reported that the samples
in question were drawn at Oaks ware
house and sold by Stith Boiling X Co."
Under the provisions of the constitu-
ton the matter will 60 before a COM
mittee. where Messrs. Boiling x Co.
will have an opportunity to explain
WHY these claims have not been paid.

be so changed as to meet the require
mcnts of the proposed changes in the
warehouse system here. On the 10th
of February the Association will elect
a general inspector of tobacco for the
city. and after the 10th of March no
member will sell tobacco to another
member unless it shall have been sam
pied by this inspector, who is to give
bond in the sum of s., 1000 for the pro
pcr discharge Of his duties. He is
privileged to appoint one or more depu-
ties, to be paid by himself, but his fees
of twenty-five cents for each package
inspected are to be paid by the owners
of the several warehouses.
