NO FRAUDS
A Scheme Of the Whisky Men that
Didn't Work.

WASHINGTON, April 3O.-A circu-
lar which has an important bearing
upon the question Of the withdrawal
of distillers' spirits from bonded
warehouses and their exportatlon for
the purpose of avoiding the immedi-
ate pay ment of Internal Revenue tax
thereon, was issued by the Commis-
sioner OF Internal Revenue to-day. 1t
is addressed to the Collector of Inter-
nal Revenue at Boston aud relates IT,
certain di-tilled spirits belonging
to Mills & Co. of that city,
This firm some time ago
withdrew from warehouses and ex-
ported a lot of whisky which they
afterwards re-lmported, but which
the Collector of Customs refused to
admit on the ground that it was
WHISKY which had been exported and
re-imported with the object of evad-
ing paying the Internal Revenue tax
when it would have becoln- due, had
the spirits remained in tie warehouse
and thus came within the exhibition
of the decision of the Secretary of the
Treasury, based upon al opinion by
the Attorney General that spirits
exported with the obj ct Of re-im-
porting them could not be admitted
under the provision of section $500
of the revised statutes. Mills & Co.
appealed from the decision of the
Collector to the Secretary of the
Treasury, who, in the deci-ion rem
dered several days ago sustained the
Collector, but directed hat the spirits
be turned over to t,e Internal
Revenue authOritlea. The circular
issued to-day authorizes the Collector
of Internal Revenue at Boston to
surrender the spirits to Mills & Co.,
upon the payment of the internal
revenue tax on spirits as guaged at
the time of their withdrawal from
the warehouse, without the allow
ance of leakage OF evaporation.

STRANGE COINCIDENCE.
The Accident to Frank Quinn the Sc.
quel OF a Strange Mystery.

A representative of the MINER yes
terday visited Frank Quinn, the I'M
fortunate man who recently jumped
from the second story window of the
Butte Lodging House, receiving in
juries which necessitated the anpu-
Eating If the only remaining leg he
had. Frank was found cheerful and
in good spirits. and in the enjoyment
of a quiet smoke. His wife has been
IN the city for some time, and arrived
from the Yellowstone, where she bas
sustained an addition Il bereavement
in the loss of a daughter who COM
mitted suicide by taking morphine.
The daughter WAS a young lady about
sixteen years Of age, and until the
day of her death nothing unusual
was noticed in her actions, being of
all apparently cheerful disposition.
On the day of her death her actions
were a little strange, but not enough
to suggest a suspicion that she in
tended taking her own life.
The strangest part OF the story
which connects the accident occur
ling to the father here in Butte, AN
the death of his daughter on the yell
lowstone, 800 miles distant. is the
fact that both occurred at the same
time, even to the very hour. At the
time Mr.. Quinn jumped from the
window of the lodging house, he was
laboring under a horrible dream, or
nightmare, in which he imagined
that his daughter called him, and was
mepaced by some terrible injury. In
bis frantic endeavors to go to her
assistance, he jumped from the VIM
dow Of his room and received the in
juries which left him f ,Otless. His
right leg was amputated years ago,
and was caused throug 4 a mining
accident. Mrs. Quinn Is an intelli-
gent woman. of u very cheerful and
amiable disposition, and has been
with her husband attending to his
wants ever since the fourth day after
his accident. The promptitude with
which she came to the bedside OF her
husband, after interring the remains
of her daughter, is M st con.menda~

ROBBING AN EXPRESS TRAIN.
A Faithful Express Messenger Shot
Dead ut Hts Post.

CHICAGO, April 3O.-The Louisville
express, Oh the Louisville, Nashville
& Chicago Railway due here at 3
o'clock this morning, was stopped
near Harrodsburg, Ind, shortly be-
fore midnight by q band of masked
robbers. The latter were on horse
back and compelled the engineer
and fireman to leave thsir engine.
Entering the express car of the
American Company, the express
messenger Was covered with revol-
vers. Refusing 10 unlock the safe, he
was shot dead. The safe was broken
open, but found to contain only $500.
The scene of the robbery is amcpg
hills and stone Quarlies, and the re-
gion Is thinly settled.
CLEANUP OF THE ROBBERY
LOUISVILLE, KY, April 3d.
The American Express officials are
unable to Sly how much money there
was in the safe robbed last night, but
think there is not much loss. As
near as can b. arrived at, Davis had
only about $500 in his care when he
left this city last night. The agent
at New Albany says he sent out
81 800 by Davis rom that Place. How
much was picked up by him at way
stations cannot be said, but 1t is not
probable t':as the amount will exceed
$500. The offic ais feel very bad over
the murder of Davis, az he was one
of the most popular and efficient mes
sengers in their employ.
