Ingenious Swindle in Whisky,

WASHINGTON CITY, July 6-The com

the peculiar proof of an ingenious fraud upor
the revenue which has been practiced in Gin

slaves Of the barrel thickensd, the one In
which the bunghole is and the stave opposite
while the other slaves are of the ordinary
thickness. The gaging Instrument would
consequently measure the capacity of the
barrel about two gallons less than the actua

New YORK. August ia cable
Especial to the Sun from London OF
August Sth, says: Some days ago
Philip Callan, member for Louth,
while debating a clause in the
Criminal Amendment bill, called
attention to the infamies which
had been dragged to light during
the trial of Nine. Jeffries, and
mentioned among other things the
high station in life occupied by
some of that notorious woman s
chief patrons. He was several
times interrupted when he reached
that part Of his remarks and there
was an evident purpose on the part
Of certain members to either lessen
the force Of the speaker or force
him to abandon his subject and re-
sumo his seat. Becoming exas-
perated, Mr.. Callan finally turned
to his adversaries, and shaking his
finger, shouted Don't provoke
me further. [ know some Of Nine.
Jeffries' patrons, and if this clamor
continues / shall be compelled to
say things you will regret to hear
probably more than l dislike to
give utterance to them. [ trust
that I shall not be driven to say
more" The house was stilled in a
moment and Callan was subjected
to no further Interruptions.
FAMILIAR FACES.
The information of which Callan
intimated he was possessed was OBJ
tanned few days previous to the
episode in the House. when he
brought into the lobby of the
House Of Commons a man who
acted in the capacity of hall porter
for Nine. Jeffries when the pros
perity of that now notorious wo-
man was at its height, with a view
of securing his Identification of
such members as frequented the
house in which he was formerly
employed. The porter, upon being
introduced in the lobby and seeing
faces about him, exclaimed:
"For Gods sake, take me away |
from here. l recognize scores of
men whom | have admitted into
Nine. Jeffries' house" When
asked to point them out he did so.
IF Callans recent remarks in the |
House have not received respectful !
they have at least been
free from interruption or audible
and he openly threatens
to unload the full volume of his in /
formation, the fruit of personal in
vestigation, the first time he re-
ceives provocation.

POOR RILL.
TIE Appeal Extends Consolation
to sharon.

to sharon.
The latest development in the
Sharon case is an affidavit by an
old Moorish fortune teller, named
Isabella Clarke who swears that she
gave Sharon charm to wear during
his last campaign. The sorceress
gave the Senator horseshoe COW
cred with red silk, from the center
of which hung some weeds. The
receiver was to wear the mascot
hung to his neck. For the charm,
the affidavit stated, Senator Sharon
gave S., and promised to send her
500 more. Instead of the addi-
tional amount, Mrs. Clarke only re-
ceived afew days later pound cake
from the Palace Hotel. The AP-
PEAL editor knows this old hen we'll.
About eight or nine years ago she
was in Virginia City, in the sorcery
business, She went into a trance
and told Senator Fair where he
would find missing witness in
mining case; and sure enough he
found the witness, and paid the old
woman $500. One day We inter
viewed her upon the possibilities
of the future, at the same time try
ing to secure half column adver-
tisement (on twenty per cent. COM
nission) for the Evening Chronicle.
She looked at some oleaginous cards
and remarked that the deuce and
knave came together, which meant
that big lot of money was to be
won at cards. She asked us to bet
all we had on the deuce and jack
and we would break all the banks
in town before night. Thinking
how much good we could do for the
cause of the Domestic Missions
and straddling the Blind Asylums
as a promoter and founder Of the
same. we determined to invest &C
eording to the directions Of the dus-
key Sybii. She wanted us to prom
Use to give her half we won, and we
finally agreed to her thieving per-
centage, although it seemed like a
frightful extortion. We coppered |
the jack and played the deuce open
getting whip-sawed on the first turn
for $40. She told us not to expect |
too much luck at first, and we hit
the layout with a couple more $50
pieces which rolled into the dealers
drawer like chickens going to roost !
in the cleaning. When we parted
with 1914 and could borrow no more,
we reported the faro circumstance to
our superior officer and the propri-
etor of the evening organ, deter
mined to collect for the advertise
ment in advance. Our subsequent
article denouncing soothsayers and
sorcerers was extensively copied by
the rural press. We extend our
fraternal sympathies to Senator
Sharon. We also have been there.
