BaBBtRTC DUTY.



WASHINGTON, Dec. Assistant Sec
rotary Spaulding of the treasury depart
ment has rendered decision holding
that the bondsmen of the famous paint
ing "The Angclus," are liable for
$l6,500 duty on the painting.
'Phe circumstances that bring about
this state of affairs are peculiar. The
Angelus was imported by A. II. Plumb,
president of the Buffalo Fine Arts Acad-
envy, for exhibition at Buffalo. A ware
house entry was made of the painting
at New York city, the value OF the
painting being stated at $4,000 and the
duty on it was $4,000 Bonds were
given for the payment Of the duty in
case il was sold.
While the painting was in the custody
of Mr.. Plumb, under the warehouse
entry, Thomas T.. Kirby, the owner OF
the picture, took il ont of Mr.. Plumb's
custody and carried it with him to Bos-
ton, as his personal baggage, where he
placed II on exhibition. No Transports
ion entry was made by Mr.. Kirby
through ignorance, and this act left the
painting wthol& the protection of the
warehouse entry.
The collector of customs at Buffalo
N. ", now asks that the collector Of
customs Mt New York be authorized tc
issue certificate of lading for export
for the purpose Of cancelling the ware
house bond. The treasury department
however, holds that the removal of the
painting from the custody Of the officers
of customs without proper authority
renders the bondsmen liable for the
duties.
Assistant Secretary Spaulding Of the
treasury department, has rendered de
cision holding that the bondsmen Of this
famous painting, "'fhe Angelus," are

A Coroner's jury Makes Suggestion to
the County,

An inquest was held Friday afternoon
on the body Of William Il. Way, who
walked from the Eleventh street bridge
into the Brnndywfne on Thursday evening.
Three witnesses testified TO the bridge
being partly closed and that in falling
Mr. Way struck hIs head on the masonry
of the approach. A cash three inches
long was cIlt over his right temple and the
blow probably made him unconscious.
The bridge-tender, John Ryan testified
that POO or 800 men we're on the eastern APP
proach of the draw, the weight Of whom
prevented him turning il TO its place.
People we're continually getting on the
draw before It was closed and serious re-
suits had been looked for before this.
There are no gates to the bridge.
Tile following verdict was adopted:
R'so psd, That william Il. Way came TO his
death iiom injuries received in alllng from
the draw at Eleventh street bridge on the
evening VI Thursday. December Atm, We, the
llry sworn to inquire into the death Of the said
William II Way, do hereby recommend that
| the county OF New aHtle take suitable means
to hereafter uafd the approaches to the
bridge and thereby prevent furtherloss Of life.

NOISE FOR THE FOURTH.

The Small Boy and the Flrccracker Will
be Out in Force-Musical Pyrotecbuic.
Introduced This Year-A so Per Cent
Advance In Prices.
"Hello, my boy, what's that you've got?'
was the question a poor. tired night worker
propounded yesterday to the young Ameri.
can next door, who makes the mornings re.
sound with anything and everything calcu.
lated to drive away the sweet slumber 50
necessary for mental recuperation.
''FIrecrackers for Fourth OF July" was
the reply made by the youthful patriot, who
held up several punches with a beaming
countenance.
'Well, you just dare shoot any of them
of before 10 o'clock on that eventful day
and your life won't be worth much. Re
member sleep in the morning." continued
the brain worker, with a mental reservation
of "when you let me-"
81 just bet 1 will shoot 'em off as soon as
1 get up, and so will Dick and Joe and
Frank and all the boys round here" And
SO they will, judging from the sales reported
by those dealing in the goods, which have
been unprecedented. Fully double the
amount ever sold before in one season have
passed already into the hands of the small
boy or his aunt or his uncle or his cousin, to
be brought forth on the glorious Fourth.
Mayor Gourley's proclamation for an old
fashioned celebration has been the basis of a
good many sales. The custom OF rejoicing in
liberty by sending up the tizzing rocket
throwing the villainous little torpedo or
shooting the frolicsome fire cracker had
fallen into 'innocuous desuetude," but re-
vived with great boom in the face of the
proclamation.
Among the new introductions are rockets
great and rockets small, the meteor, phan-
tom, prismatic dragon, cascade and caliiope,
and some musical productions such as the
musical candles, whistling jacks, calliope
mine, besides the dragon nest, Mount Vesu-
vious candles and surprise box, all of which
are marvels in their way. The small fire.
crackers, though not intended to go skyward
with their more brilliant relatives. took
quite step that way this year in the matter
of price. They increased from 81 to 81 80 a
package owing to the going bottomward of
the vessel in April that was so heavily
loaded with them, and second vessel that
was expected to lower the price with its
cargo did not arrive in New York until
Monday evening, and is entirely too late
to affect the stiff price for this wear as the
crackers could not be obtained by dealers
outside of New York in time for sale.
