the Aldermanic Thieves, in New York
Again.
Billy Moloney, the famous clerk of the
DOODLE Aldermen, and Robert f. DeLacy,
one Of the Aldermen, are in New York

They returned from their exile in Can

into the library of Colonel Fellows in the
big brownstone building at eleven O'Clock
this morning
Moloney sported full set Of whiskers
tinged with gray and nicely trimmed. The
ex-Alderman's face was adorned with
beautiful red mustache, and both
the distinguished gentlemen from the
Boodlers' paradise were as fat and slick
as any of Delmonico's well kept patrons.
Accompanying the visitors were George
Bliss and ex-Judge Donohue, their coun-
sci, and Judge Dohohue, addressing Col.

The internal revenue tax on distilled
spirits is 80 cents per gallon. Therefore
this shows q falling off in the manufac-
ture of liquors in this district by about
78,000 gallons This decrease is attributed
to the competition of the western whiskey
trust, which, it is said has made large
inroads on the business of the local dis
tilleries during the past year.
The amount collected for taxes on beer
at 81 per barrel shows that l, 400, ,495 bar
rels were brewed last year in this district.

Of this was sold by the pint. but averag-
ing the price at 3 cents Der glass, the
amount spent for beer must have reached
SIG, ,9l3, 700.
The number of cigars manufactured
through the year, calculating on tax of
So per thousand, is As, AIS. 900. At cents
each, which is a fair average, considering
that much more cent than 10 cent cigars
are smoked. the price paid for these
articles to the dealers was 81, ,904, ,7s0.
The internal revenue tax on snuff is
cents pound, and the same tax is levied
on tobacco. The decrease in the manu-
facture of tobacco is not extraordinary as
the size of the output fuctuates greatly
from year to year. OF the total tax on
tobacco in this district p. Lorillard & Co.,
of Jersey City, always pay more than ons-
half. The number of licenses include Al
for brewers, % for rectifiers, 60 wholesale
liquor licenses, 90 for peddlers of tobacco,
s for dealers in leaf tobacco, $500 for re-
tail liquor dealers. 1850 for dealers in

TRENTON, July 9, 1890. The State Geo
logical Board held a meeting yesterday
at the Executive chamber, and elected
John C. Smock as State Geologist in the
place of Prof George Cook, deceased.
Prof. Cook, who did such able service
for the State for quarter of a century,

which he was appointed in 1864. made no
provision for the appointment of sue
cessor, and until the law was amended
last winter none could be appointed In
the interval Irving S. Upson has been
acting under a resolution of the Board as
assistant in cnarge of the office; Frank l..
Mason as Assistant Geologist, and Prof
Smock as Consulting Geologist.
Prof. Smock acted as assistant geolo-
gist from 1854, the beginning of the sur
vey, to- 1885. He continually urged the
importance of an accurate and detailed
Typographical map of the State as a neces-
sary prelude to any written geological de-
scription. In the reports OF the survey he
furnished papers on the climate of the
State and other Important subjects. In

signed to accept position. at the Museum

ATLANTIC CITY, July o, 1s9o.--The rob-
berry and alleged chloroforming of Mrs.
Sterling, of Washington. while a guest
at leading hotel here, has created a
great deal of speculation among the
summer colony.
Mayor Hoffman said last night that the
money and valuables taken, so far as he
had been informed, were not of very
great moment. but he said that he did
not yet feel at liberty to give any further
details. The whole matter, he says, is
still as much Of mystery. He said he
did not credit the report that chloroform
had been used but thought that this idea
probably arose from the fright associated
with the stealing. He did not know how
far the endeavors to capture the criminal
might be successful.
The pre- rietor of the hotel at which
tn Q robbery took place said tonight that
some diamonds are missing, but as to
the value of the money alleged to be
taken he knew nothing definitely. He
said that, so far as he could ascertain, he
did not believe that chloroform had been
used. He remarked, in reply to ques-
tion as to the value of the diamonds, that
he had nothing to say. He would not ad-
vance any theory as TO the method or the
perpetrator of the theft. He said the
robbery was committed in the lady's
room, but upon investigation he said he
been employed.
Mrs. Sterling, who is still at the hotel,
has kept her room and will not say any
thing for publication. She was on her
way to New York from Washington and
stopped here for q summers outing.
