The Opium Smuggling.

WATERFOWL, N. Y, Feb. I'm.
L. Hollihap, special agent of the treasury
department, sent here to investigate the
opium smuggling cases, has secured evi.
dence that the smugglers have confede-
rates in New York. One or more govern
ment officials on the Pacific coast are said
to be involved. A carpenters tool chest
which had been traced back and forth
across the st. Lawrence several times was
seized by officers at thehouse of Samuel
Gardner, Erwin's bondsmen. The chest
came from the Pacific coast. where it was
at once seized and found to contain
opium. Gardner claims to have bought it
from the government at an auction and
now the government takes it 1 from him in
connection with his ofFenses.

on the Track of the Murderer.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-THE police are at
last positive that they are on the track of
the murderer of Millionaire A. j. Smell
and the developments given out are of the
most startling character. Chief of Police
Hubbard tonight issued the following cir
cular:
1.-Two thousand dollars reward. Look
out and arrest A. j. SHELLS alleged MUIR
dcrer, VIM. B. Tascott, alias Gathright,
alias Moore, alias Scott, alias Clark, % or
% years Of age, five feet eight or nine
inches in height, los pounds weight;
slim build, very erect, full round
face; heavy eyebrows, very fair
complexion, dark brown hair, thin on top
Of head and cut short; large blue eyes,
small chin, dark moustache, may bedyed.
Wore when last seen brown and gray
striped pants, stripe one-half inch wide,
dark coat, vest and overcoat; black silk
hat, square top ring set with garnets and
pearls, one pearl missing. He may carry
a cane with a round head engraved with
w. b. I. in a. monogram. Also russell
colored oval valise eighteen inches long
and eight deep, hung by a strap over his
shoulders. The above reward will be
paid for his capture and detention until
officers arrive"
~ otuiNiAhE lCaAIlCD VI luG CdcC uIG
that VIM. B. Tascott, the man wanted, is
the son of a prominent and wealthy citi-
zen, Col. j. b. Tascott, the leading whole
sale paint merchant of this city. He was
born and raised within a block of the
murdered man, SMELLS house. Though
well educated, he early displayed a liking
for the companionship of wild boys. 1t
is said he has served a term in the Ken
lucky p%enitentiary for burglary. He re-
turned a few months ago, and his family
and friends tried to reform him. One Of
these friends, Mrs. Henrietta Owsley, in
vited him to her house, and young Tas-
colt returned her kindness by robbing
her. The theft was discovered by Mrs.
Owsley, who refused to prosecute.
For several weeks before the Smell muir
der Tascott boarded with Mrs. Wicks in
the same neighborhood by the name of
Scott, and it is thought to be the one who
committed all the burglaries which took
place in that vicinity before the murder.
Since then no trace of him can be found.
Mr.. Smells estate was probated to. day.
1t is estimated at 81, 500, 900, but of this
$4,000, 900 was conveyed to his wife four
years ago. He left no will and the bal.
ance Of his estate will be divided among
his widow and four children.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 17.-Yesterday
National Master Workman Lewis wrote %
President Austin Corbin and to-day the
latter sent his reply. The correspondence
is now being made public. Lewis said
that he was DESTROYS to bring the troubles
to an end and proposed to order the min
ers back to work if Corbin would give the
assurance that after work was resumed the
subject of wages would be considered in a
conference between the company and its
employees or their representatives, and
upon the further assurance that no one
should be Disseminated against by reason
of his connection with the strike.
COrbin replied that after consultation
with President Keim of the Reading
Coal 4 Iron company, he would agree
