Mr. Abner c. P. Shoemaker, native of this
District, who spent most of his life on his farm

energetic man, largely identified with the in

made him attractive to his many friends. His
illness was of less than half hours duration,

BLOCH BROS. MAKE A SETTLEMENT
satisfactory to the Revenue bureau and
the Investigation Ends.


the Investigation Ends.
The investigation which tho United
States Internal Revenue Bureau Inns
been making ut Bloch Bros big "West
Virginin Mail Pouch tobacco works Is
ended; the claim Of tho Government for
tho revenue not paid on the overweight
packages, which were tho cause OF the
investigation, has been satisfied; the
Revenue officers who were placed In
charge OF the extensive works have been
withdrawn, and the Nlessrs. Bloch again
have absolute control OF their factory.
Hon. John ". Mason, tho Commits.
sioncr OF Internal Revenue, arrived in
this city from Washington shortly be-
fore noon yesterday. lilo went ut once
to the Custom House, where he met
Collector a. Il. White and Special Agent
Summerrille. They were in conference
I'LL 1870, when they adjourned Tor din.
ner. They met again ut 3 o'clock and
thia time Mr.. W. +. Hubbard and Hon.
&. ". Atkinson, two OF the attorneys
retained by the Messrs. Bloch, met with
them. Shortly after i o'clock the con.
ference between these gentlemen ended,
and then the announcement was made
that the claims Of the Government had
been satisfied, theiuvcs'igation had ended
and that the Measts. Bloch were again
in position 10 control their plant. What
the exact terms Of the settlement
are is not known as both sides, the
Messrs. Bloch and their counsel and all
tho Government OFFICIALS, refused to be-
interviewed on that point.
\ number OF rumors were put in cir.
cuIation by persons who claim to
know just what WAS said and done,
as TO the amount OF money paid
to the Government by the lirm
in making its settlement, though by
what power or from what source those
persons acquired their knowledge it is
difficult to conceive for, as before stated,
all those known to be interested in the
matter were dumb.
The only thug connected with the
settlement that could be definitely ms.
certained by the ISTELLlGESCER, out.
side OF tho fact OF the settle.
ment itself, was that it was
made on basis proposed by the
Messrs. B'och, and that tho amount Of
money thus paid over embraced not
only the revenue due the Government,
by reason OF overweight packages, but
also the penalty Tor such Il violation Of
the lnterna, Revenue laws.

adjustment O! the difficulty sDrpal fast.

Az ATTEMPTED ROBBERY
At Locnlcr's Meat Shop In East Wheel,
Last Might,

Last Night.
An attempt was made Inst night to rob
the cellar OF Mr.. Charles Locillcr's meat
shop on Jacob street between Sixteenth
and Seventeenth streets. The members
OF tho family were all up stairs at the
time. About o'clock Mr.. Loe.ler's
son had occasion to 60 TO tho cellar,
where quite heavy stock OF fresh aud
salt pork Is kept. When he got half way
down the cellar strange voice called to
him to stop aud go back. IIe went back
up stairs, got his revolver aud returned.
When he got into the cellar he aaw Il
nan just climbing out OF Il coal hole To
the alley, and another man coming from
the front Of the cellar toward the coal
hole. Tho boy fired two shots ut the lat.
ter, but neither seems to havc taken
effect, for he climed after his compan.
ion out OF the coal hole. An ex
animation OF the cellar showed TIM,
tho two men had placed some sheer
pelts upon the coal under the coal hol,
10 prevent any noise, ind that they had
carried quite number OF fresh hams
and half hogs carcass over to the Goa
bin preparatory to removing them from
the cellar. Tho boy asserts that he sho
one OF tho fellows, but since his pis
| tot Is only twenty-five cafibre It ia moi
strange that he did not stop II he wa
hit. There was a bright light burning
in the cellar and young Loei!ler saw ont
OF the burglars face to tace. He do
scribes the fellow MS short and stout witt
Il smooth face, aud says TINT he wore I
sack coat. officer Frohme went out tc
