STOGIE INDUSTRY
Will Receive a Heavy Blow from
the Administration
IF CBRLIStE'S RECOMMENDATIONS
Should be Adoptcd-An Interesting
Letter from Pittsburgh 0Ianurao.
turer-Congressman PendIcton aud
a Newspaper Were Both Mistaken,
Whereat Some People arc Not Sur.
priscd-Proposed Action.

The tobacco manufacturers arc great
ly worked up over the prospect that the
internal revenue tax on stogies is to be
doubled in the attempt to raise rev.
enues to fill up thatS7O,O0O,O 600 deficiency
that it is acknowledged will be a fact
when the Wilson bill goes into effect.
1t is understood that a last effort is to
be made by the local cigar and stoSie
manufacturers to have the duty remain
where it is, 80 cents hundred. A
meeting OF the manufacturers will prob
ably be held here early next week to
take action.
A local cigar and stogio manuiacIur-
ing firm yesterday received the follow
ing letter from q Pittsburgh manuiac-
:urer which is self explanatory:
GENTHEMEN:-You will remember.
during the month OF October, we had
some correspondence with you in re-
gard to the proposed increase in inter
nal revenue on cigars, which, however,
was ended by 4 statement OF the Wheel
ing Register and the congressman from
your district that tho whole thing was
gotten up by Republicans for campaign
purposes, and the action OF your city
iell through because the majority OF
your manufacturers believed that the
Pittsburgh manufacturers we're alarmed
without cause.
We now beg leave to recommend for
your careful perusal the message OF Sec
rotary Carlisle, in which he advocates
the change Of which We were writing.
We have never allowed politics to min
gle with our business and have simply
attempted to meet this problem in a
business-like way. The ways and
means committee have already given 4
hearing to the Richmond cheroot man
ufacturers and they have protested
against this change, and We think such
an action on the part OF toby manutac-
turers is also advisable.
The tobacco board OF trade will hold
q meeting to discuss this subject next
week and wo most earnestly recommend
q similar action to be taken by the
manufacturers OF your city. In case
cheroots should be exempt from the
provisions OF this increase you will
readily see what n horrible shape this
would put toby manufacturers in.
Kindly advise us whether any action is
taken in your city.
The manufacturer who received the
above letter repeated what the INTELII-
GENcER has all along stated, that an in-
crease in the tax will greatly cripple
one OF WheeIing's most important in
dustries.

EXTENSIVE swINDLING.

Goods Recovered.

Tho Operators Brought to Grief and
Goods Recovered.
L. S. Bates, a detective from Lansing,
Mich, dropped into Bellaire yesterday
morning, and found lot of gentIemen's
furnishing goods at the c. & P. depot
marked to Jacob Joseph. Bellaire,
O." No such person lives there or any
whore else, so far as is known, but this IS
part OF a gigantic scheme that has been
worked for several months, and while
at Belaire Detective Bates received n
telegram from Paris, KY, saying that
there are three cases oil goods there Tor
the same Jacob Joseph. A reporter OF
the INTELLIGENCER found Mr.. Bates while
he was at dinner at the Globe house
yesterday, and from him learned the
following story:
Morris Rosenthal opened a store at
Grand Rapids, Michigan, and bought
an immense stock OF goods, consisting
OF gentlemen's furnishing goods. dry
goods, carpets, notions, ready-made
clothing, etc, and made big show. He
had confederates in various parts OF the
country, seven OF them in ali, and after
he got well under way he bought more
largely, having extended his credit by
sworn statements OF his condition, and
without opening the goods more than
to turu the boards on the boxes con-
tanning his address, he would re.ship
them to Jacob Joseph at various points,
and his pals would get the goods out
and auction them off, Finally Rosen-
thai Quilted his store, shipped about
everything away and he and his wife
LETT between two days.
They had roped in wholesale houses
for large amounts, kuttnauer, Rosen-
field & Co., OF Detroit. being victims to
the amour: OF about $4,000, and other
firms suffering the loss OF smaller
amounts. Detective Bates haze captured
about $4,000 worth OF goods now and
he SAYS all the swindlers are under, ar
rest, Morris Rosenthal having been cap
tured at SteuDenville recently, and his
wife was arrested at Cumberland, Md,
with about 81, 200 worth oil ladies' goods
in her possession.
About two weeks ago two strangers
came to Bellaire and wanted TO rent u
room to auction oil lot OF goods and
jewelry, but they decamped OIL the pre-
text that the license was too high. 1t
is surmised now that they were part OF
this gang and that is how the cases OF
goods found yesterday came to be ship
ped to Belaire. Detective Bates says it
was about that time the firms began to
suspect Rosenthal was doing them up
and TINT the men who appeared here
had probably been advised to look out.
Their swindling operations will reach
S25, 900 or $4,000.
