THE BOARD OF TRADE.
The Underwood Turpentine Distillate
Given a Black Eve.

Given a BLACK Eye.
The board of trade met yesterday to re-
ceive the report of the committee appointed
to investigate the Underwood process
OF manipulating turpentine during
distillation. The committee which con-
sisted of Messrs. j. H. Hunter, j. P. Will
Jams, James Earle, Jr., and Raymond
Judge, reported that the distillate which
is the result of the underwood process is in
tended to counterfeit in appearance the
genuine article, and is not to be marketed
on its merits as substitute, but covertly
and fraudulently The committe was of
the opinion that unless the distiliate is
branded for what it is, that its sale is dam
aging to the market and to the trade at
large, unsettling all confidence in business,
aud rendering all concerned in its handling
continually liable to reclamatIons and
damage suits, and endless litigation. Not
only are the factor aud exporter amenable to
the civil law, but operators detected in
shipping this article as spirits of turpentine
are liable to punishment under the penal
code
The committee recommended that the
board instruct each inspector of naval
stores to exercise a rigid supervision that
no adulterated article be passed as pure
spirits of turpentlne, and that they report
to the regular committee for Investigation
any case that may come to its attention;
and that committee be appointed to de-
eide the simplest and most final method of
detecting any adulteration, and that the
committee DO authorized to raise funds if
necessary for the pu pose of securing a
satisfactory test. That the receivers
of naval stores unite a in circular to
their customers advising them of
the steps taken in this matter, and impress
ing upon.them that the adoption of this proc
ess of distillation is inimical to taeir Inter
ests, not only because there is no market for
the substitute and because they will render
themselves liable to prosecution under exist
ing laws if the article is fraudulently mar
keted, but because the only result of this
innovation can be an unsettling of values,
and decentralization of their trade, which Is
now more prosperous than at any time in
recent years.
The committee advised that information
of the action of the board be forwarded to
the exchanges of New York, Wilmi gtoD,
Charleston and Brunswick, and that their
cooperation and assistance be invited
The report was unanimously adopted,
and its recommendations will at once be
carried into effect

The body of a colored man, in an ad-

in the marsh on Elba island Wednesday by
some fishermen, and Coroner Dixon went
down to view the body, but all that Capt.
Dixon could do was to order hole dug in
the marsh and the body. or at least that
portion of it which remained was pushed
into it and buried where it lay, as
the remains we're too offensive to
the smell to permit its removal
One leg and an arm were missing
and the head was nothing but whitened
skull, the combined work of the alligators
and birds of prey.
The body is supposed to be that of deck
hand who fell overheard from the St.
Nicholas in st. Augustine creek last month,
and which was reported to the coroner
shortly after by Capt. Usina.
