THE SUGAR FRAUDS.
Special Agent Bryn Recommends the Sum.
mnry Discharge of Customs Officials.


WASHINGTON, January 19-Secretary
Fairchild to-day transmitted to the Senate
the report of T. A. Bryn, special agent OF
the Treasury Department, ON frauds in sugar
at New York and Philadelphia. He pre-
sents table showing the loss to the reve-
nue. on sugar imports at the two cities from
June l, 1883. to June 1, 1886, by reason of
the lower duty paid than at Boston to have
been 81, 045.3
He presents a list of officers at the port of
New York and recommends the summary
removal of them. He says these men stand
charged with dereliction of duty, false as
sumption of prerogatiyes, total disregard of
Treasury regulations, open defiance of the
expressed orders of the Secretary of the
Treasury, etc. Some of these officers, he
SAYS, have been engaged in private CONNER
cial business, in violation of law and should
be vigorously dealt with.
Mr.. Bryn concludes his report by saying
that the many difficulties, such as obstruc-
tion, deliberate evasion, palpable equivoca-
tion, organized resistance, determined efforts
to conceal the true facts, ETC., which he has
experienced at the hands of customs and
appraising officers and employees, who
should have co-operated with him in the
prosecution of the investigation, has from
tirst to last very materially tended toward
delaying the completion of his report.

Union Veteran Legion.

The final arrangements for the third annual
encampment of the U. V. L, are being made,
and it is expected when General A. L. Pearson
calls the Legion to order at Altoona, Pa, Feb
ruary 2, at least 20 States will be represented.
Encampment No. l, of this city, will be repre-
sented by 20 delegates, and it is more than like
ly that large number of its members will at
tend the encampment.
The comrades of No. 1 are highly elated over
the thought that after April they won't have
to climb up 06 steps to get to the encampment
room. The hall and rooms, second floor of the
Stone building. owned and occupied by the
Pittsburg Gas Company, on Sixth avenue, have
been leased and the committee, consisting of
Captain Frank G. Dorrington, General Geo. 5.
Galloupe and General A. L. Pearson, have
about completed arrangements to fit them up
in fine style. There will be two halls, each
handsomely carpeted with the best body Brus-
sells and fine velvet rugs. The windows will be
draped with heavy damask curtains, over
which will be fine French portieres. The fur
niture of main hall will be of antique oak, and
the stage settings and scenery of beautiful de-
sign. Hall No. will be carpeted the same as
in No. /, and everything about it will be COM
plete. The furniture and desks will be of wal
nut, and the walls, instead of being frescoed, as
in the larger hall, will be papered and orna-
mented in colors, to be in keeping with the rest
of the room.
The library or reading room will be very
handsomely fitted up. and will have a fine
library of good books. The daily papers and
magazines will always be on file, and blanks,
swriting paper; ETC., will be on hand, SO that the
comrades of the legion, whether members of
No. or not, will always find a place to pass
away the time. 1t is the design of the COM
mittee to have the rooms dedicated April 8, the
anniversary of Lees surrender.
The halls are in demand and the committee
are daily receiving visits from representations
of other organizations who desire to rent.
The legion deserves congratulations for its
enterprise, and the hope is entertained that
their anticipationS will be fully realized.

The effect of a warm, summery winter
upon society is easily noted. The youngest,
the liveliest and the brightest of society's
votsries are languid, sleepy and dull to a
most deplorable degree. You wouldn't
imagine it if you refer for information to
the chronicle of society events, for balls and
receptions, dances and weddings follow each
other with their customary regularity. But
you would see that there was an air of tor
pidity abroad if you threaded some of the
mazes of the INTERVENING circles of the So
ciety world. There is need of frost and
snow that the sleigh bells might ring out,
that lasses' cheeks should glow, and slug
gish blood sweep faster through the heart
of man.
Half the maidens will marry just to es-
cape the tedium of existence in a scurvy
season out of place, and all the young men
who have not married yet will fly to colder
climes if winter doesn't come in earnest to
society's rescue. DoRoTHEA.
