The Bogus Wine Business.
New YORK, November 12th.-Dr Cyrus
Edson, OF the Health Board, reported yes
terday that he had inspected the wine
mandatory of w Z. BORDEN, 81 Front
street, and discovered that wine was made
there in the following manner Dried
fruits, raisins. currants and peaches of low
grade are macerated with water, and a GER
tain amount of sugar is added. The mix
ture is then fermented. When fermenta-
ton is considered sufficiently advanced it
is checked by the addition of salicylic acid,
sufficient acid being added to act as preser-
vative and prevent further fermentation.
The so-called wine is then clarified,
favored and colored to cause ii to resemble
port, claret or any desired kind of wine.
The object Of the sophistication is to imi-
tate and undersell natural native wines.
DR.. Edison says In my opinion, and in
the opinion of the two physicians whom l
called to assist me, the adulteration is a
dangerous one and likely to cause sickness.
The amount of acid used is about AZ grains
to the pint BORDEN denies that so much
is present, but | have ocular proof that in
the case of 800 gallons the amount is not
less than have stated. In all | condemned
and seized $3.50 gallons of so-called wine
on the premises Edison will shortly look
into the so-called California wine sold here.
At least a dozen concerns sell California
wine" which is manufactured on the prem
ises.
The New York senatorship.
NEW YORK, November 12th.-A World
Albany dispatch on the Senatorial contest
says: Shrewd politicians here are out
spoken in their opinion that, while Mr..
Blaine categorieally is standing with hands
Off the Senatorial contest in this State, he
has given one of his sly winks that Morton
is the coming man. after all, said a
well-known New York politician, it is as
the New York Central Railway Company
saws it shall be. If the corporation leans
for Miller, he will not be beaten. If it
farors Morton he will be United States
Senator. There is no question about the
friendship existing between Blaine and
Chauncy NJ. Depew The latter will be
only too happy to oblige the former in any
manner, 50 long as he will not compromise
himself nor his railway. Blaine is looking
for the denomination. He well knows that
if Cleveland is renominated in 1883 any
Republican will have an excellent oppor-
tEnity to carry the next election. He
is looking for strong men-strong polti-
cslly and strong financially. Mr.. Blaine 5
first choice for the Senatorship was Mr..
Depew, but nothing but the nomination
for the Presidency will persuade the New
York CentraPs President to give up his
present easy life. There is no question
that the fight for the Senatorship will, with
the exception of that after Platt and Conk-
ling resigned, exceed anything the State
has seen for half century
The Grant & Ward Doodle.
NEW YoRK, November 12th.-Mayor
Grace has at length been called upon to
answer the charge that he has in his pos
l. 4 II
in the suit brought by Julian 7. Davies,
Receiver Of the firm. The papers have
been served upon Mr.. Grace's attorney by
". 3. Hornblowel, of counsel tor the Re-
CeiYer. The amount which the Receiver
alleges Mr.. Grace drew out of the firm,
over and above what he put in it, is Sl50,-
Coo This is the sum which Ferdinand
Ward has all along declared Grace cleared
il his transactions. The suit was begun
soon after the failure of Grant & Ward in
Nav 1854. At the time when the actions
were begun w. S. Warner and others began
to prepare the complaint which has now
been served, and which Grace has until
November 9th to answer. 1t has been a
long and tortuous proceeding. Mr.. Horn
blower had expert accountants put on the
matter as soon as possible after the case
against w. S. Ward had been closed. The
accountants began their work last
spring, and did not finish it until
late in the summer. The result
showed that Grace had cleared $150,000
while Z. H. Tobey, his clerk, had made
some 100000 out of his own transactions.
Hornblower was occupied through the
whole of october in getting his complaint
in shape. The document is similar to that
IL the Ward and other cases, and charges
that the $4,000 which it is alleged that
Grace cleared in his Grant Il Ward transac-
tons belongs to Mr.. Davies, as receiver OF
the firm, in accordance with the decision
of Referee Cold in the Warner case, in
which the opinion was given that some
81 100000 should be turned over to the re-
ceiyer.
Bayard Indignant.
WASHINGTON, November 12th-There
was great excitement and Indignation at
the State Department yesterday over the
publication of cable dispatch from Lon
don concerning two confidential commune
cations from Bayard to Minister Phelps
Bayard was especially indignant, and has
oabled Phelps for an explanation. Bayard
is confident these letters could have reached
the correspondent OF the H'0rId in London
osly through carelessness or the treachery
OF some employe about the Legation. II
Bayard should become convinced that
Phelps himself had given out these letters
he will undoubtedly call for his resigna-
ton.
