the clerk, John Grfnn. packed up $500
worth of property, and then set nre 10 the
store The burglars were masked. Griffin
could not move, and expected to be burned
alive, but fortunately he made noise
enough to attract the attention OF
the fremen, and was rescued just
in time. There seems TO be no clue 10
the perpetratOr of the outrage. The entire
neighbOrhood is aroused over the affair.
Griffin is "A sober and industrious young
fellow. He had a close call for his life. lie is
completely unnelyed, and Is suffering from
nervous pr0stratOn as "A result Of his horri-
ble midnight experience.
| THE WIZARD OF WALL STREET.
Mr.. Gould Is again the master spirit in
Wall street. The recent events in the great
financal centre have revealed his unmis-
taxable presence and influence. When he
was the leading operator in stocks the most
active period Of speculation prevailed that
was ever known in the stock market
Whether mis- temperance indicates that
another such epoch is close at hand events
| alone will determine.
TARIFF on TOBACCO FILLERs.
Tobacco men are interesting themselves
in the question Of petitioning Congress TO
''change the existing tariff law 30 far as IL
affects Havana tillcrs." \ special meeting
of the Leaf Tobacco Board OF Trade was
held.recently, at which nearly all the repre-
sentative firms We're present. The discus
sions of the subject were lengthy. What
they want Is 10 have Congress change the
law, with the assistance OF tobacco
experts, so that Havana filters proper
could be admitted at the 35-cent rate, or TO
50 continue the law that what IL COM
mercally known as "nllers' should pay
daty only as such, while that which is
alone pay the S2-a-pound rate. The trouble
now is that according to the provisions OF
the new law, If bale 0i tobacco, 'Or any
part thereof" is made up Of wrappers" IL
must paw 81 pound. Dealers in tobacco
say il is impossible 10 bring In bale OF
"fllers" in which some percentage Of leaf
tobacco suitable for wrappers cannot be
found.

one Of the Witnesses OF Mr. stewarts Will.
The other one was 10 have the will removed
from the surT0gate's Oflicp, and place II in
the custody Of the clerk Of the United
states Circuit Court. The motions were
opposed by Jabish Holmes. Jr.. who argued
that the will was perfectly safe In
the custody Of the surrogate. Judge
Lacombe reserved his decision on the
motion for the taking of DIR. Marcy's testi-
mOny, and will hear arguments next FRI
dav on the motion for the reno, o. Of the
will. William II. Secor, counsel for the
plaint II. said he believed that there was
another will OF Mr.. stewards in existence.
He wanted the testimony OF DIR. Marcy 10
90 on record, as DIR. Marcy - getting old.
