Bogus Beer Stamps.
rWashinotnn snenial1


The officials of the Internal Revenue
Bureau are working with the officers of the
secret service in the investigation of an ex-
tensive system of frauds in New York City.
So far their attention has been particularly
directed tc the counterfeit beer stamps.
Up to within few weeks ago there was not
the slightest suspicion that anything of q
CROOKED" nature was going on, but ON ex-
animation of the receipts of the local
internal revenue Office showed quite
falling off, A more care.
full examination developed the fact
that it was confined exclusively to the
brewers. Then came the discovery that
counterfeit beer stamps were in use. Up
to date about $4,000 worth have been
seized, and the end is not yet The officials
here are very reticent over the affair, and
decline to give out the particulars for pub
lication. It is learned, however. that they
have discovered a conspiracy in which
brewers from nearly all the principal cities
of the country are concerned. The evidence
is now being gathered. and 1t is understood
that at the proper time there will be a series
Of arrests and seizures which will partake
of the most sensational description.

The Palm Tree.

The palm tree grows very erect,
sometimes eighty feet in the air. The
natives celebrate its $50 uses. Did you
ever know such q useful tree? And
what is very remarkable. it grows as
we'll in the hot and sandy desert us it
does by the cool springs of Elm. The
weary caravans crossing the desert re-
joice when they see before them q
grove of palms, and the lie down be-
meath their shade with delight, and
drink of the spring that generally
gushes from its roots. You know, it
bears delicious fruit-dates, and the
camels feed on the date stone. 1t gives
us the nice fans, which we consider q
great luxury in warm weather. There
are one thousand species OF this tree.
In the cold winter it gives us fire.
We use it to make hats and slippers; it
gives tools and aprons to the workman,
chairs and beds for the weary. 1t gives
us shutters aud blinds and lamps and
oil. 1t makes Us books and paper,
bows and arrows, lines and nets, sails
and cordage, food and medicines. 1t
makes the palanquin in which the
Eastern traveller Is carried-his goods
are packed in bags and baskets of palm,
his dinner is cooked and served In
vessels of palm, he sleeps on mattress
of palm, and his very room is rooted,
curtained and carpeted with it. Give
the Arab and his camel the palm and
the spring and they wish no more.
The palm grows from within, outward.
This is the reverse of other trees. The
traveller calls the tree and its fountain
the choicest gift OF God.

The IRON workers of the Mahoning and

They look forward to season Of activity

iron firms in Youngstown have signed the
scale except one. and this one is expected
to de so at an early day. The fact that
Brown, Bonnell 4 Co. ran at such q good
profit last year. said a gentleman this
morning, ain the face of q declining trade
shows conclusively that they can do still
better this year. There is no doubt but
that trade is better. Let il not be forgotten
that the workmen have accepted n reduc-
ton in wages. The manufacturer who
says that the prospects are not encouraging
makes statement which the workmen, at
least. do not believe" President Weihe
says that nearly all of the mills in the as
sociation have signed the scale with the
exception Of those in the Wheeling dis
trict. In the latter place the trouble is be.
tween the nailers and the manufacturers.
When the trouble is settled President
Weihe believes that the scale will be signed
there without any objection.

The Late John Nichols, vics Presi-

fort Worth TEX telegram
startling rumor spread through this
city to-day to the effect that the late John
Nichols. Vice President Of the City Ma
tional Bank, whose sudden death occurred
last Monday at the bank, was defaulter to
a large amount Immediately after his de-
mise the officers of the City National Bank
called meeting of all the other bankers of
the city to investigate the affairs of the
bank, This committee report that they
find the late Vice President Nichols to have
been defaulter to the amount of about
$4,000, but the committee consider the
bank sound. Nichols was also City Treas
urer, but thus far no Irregularities in his
accounts as such have been discovered. SO
far as known tonight the outside in
debtedness of Nichols ON individual notes
amounts to but 500. COO. although rumors
are current that his private indebte Iness is
much larger Where the stolen money
went is as yet mystery, as Nichols was a
man of frugal habits, and did not drink or
gamble. His funeral yesterday was the
largest ever Witnessed in this city. His
body will probably be exhumed in order to
settle the question whether or not he
suicided.

THE BULLOCK BARONs OBEY.
They Are Disposed to Get Out of Indian
Territory Fast as Possible.

Washington special
The War Department has received no
reply from General Miles to the telegram
ordering him to make the necessary
preparations for the execution of the Pres
idents proclamation commanding the evac-
uation of Indian Territory. No reply was,
however, expected, as General Miles has
ample force under his direction and
within available distance of the
Indian lands, and Is in all re-
spects prepared to forcibly carry
out the terms of the proclamation il neces-
sary. From the advices received the Ad-
jutant General does not believe that mill
tary interference will be required. He is
informed that the cattle men scarcely lost
an hours time after their conference with
the President 1t is not expected that the
terms of the proclamation as to time will
be fully complied with, but at the expira-
ton of the forty days it is thought that the
intruders will be found on the march NOV
ing out of the Territory as rapidly as they
could be elected by the troops, and in this
event. of course there will be nothing for
the soldiers to do.

FEARFUL RIDE TO DEATH.
Four Men Killed and Three Fatally In

A fearful accident occurred on the Cabin
Creek Railroad, resulting in the instant
death of the following persons:
l.. S. OAKFoRD, Superintendent of the

JOSEPH HALL.
At the same time three other men were

The men with Mr.. Oakford were on
train of cars proceeding to the mines, when
six of the cars broke loose, and, running
rapidly down the incline, jumped the track,
causing the cars to be piled up in broken
mass. There were nine men on the fugi-
tive cars, four of whom were dead when
found, and three others are SO badly in
jured that but little hopes are ent tartained
of their recovery. The other two men es-
capped with slight injuries. Mr.. Oakford
was native of Scranton.
The Cabin Creek Road is seven miles
long, and is used for transportation of coal

THE DEADLY RATTLESNAKE.
A Rich Planter OF Duncanville, Ga, Is
Bitten, and Dies I'm Great Agony.

IThomasville (Ga.l special
Major j. j. Mash, capitalist of Thomas
County, died at his home in Duncanville
to- day from the effects of rattlesnake bite
received ten hours previous. He was out
on his plantation, about q mile and half
from his dwelling, running line for a
ditch He was accompanied by little
grandson and colored man. The place
was quite rough, and while making
his way through the bushes the snake bit
him through the ankle. The Major walked
to his horse, but when he got there was too
sick and weak to mount. He was assisted
into the saddle, and, by leaning forward
and clasping the horse around the neck, he
succeeded in keeping his position while
the horse at full speed carried him home.
By this time he was unable to walk Stimu-
lants and other remedies were admins
tered and q doctor hastily sent for. In
spite of all efforts he continued to grow
worse until death relieved him. His suf-
ferings were intense. but reason and con-
seriousness remained to the last. He was
73 years old.
