Tho decision of the Supreme Court of
New Jersey regarding the excise law does
not have reference to the law under which
our Excise Board acts, but to law re-
ferring to cities Of $1,000 inhabitants or
more. The law under which our Board
acts is legal until test case is made and
it is decided to be unconstitutional. The
general opinion is, that the law will be
upheld by the courts if test is made.

Burglars About.
Between one and two clock last Thurs
day morning, the cigar store of A. j.
Scarborough's Sons, in Masonic Hall,
Bridge street, in this city, was entered
and robbed. The burglar evidently eff
fected an entrance by securing ladder
lying along side of Carver & Williams
store, and climbing to the large transom
over the door. The window was forced
open, and after entrance was effected,
the front door was sprung open. About
twenty dollars in money was secured from
a desk and the cash drawer, and some
valuable meerschaum pipes were carried
off. The burglar must have had some
one outside as a confederate. One.of the
Mr.. Scarboroughs says he innocently as
sisted the burglar to enter, by opening
the transom slightly before closing the
store, he thinking that the store was ex-
ceedingly warm and needed some ventila-
ton. The transom had an iron adjusting
lock on it, which allowed it to be locked
at any position.
