CIGAR SLOT MACHINES.
Collector FyNbee Orders the seizure of
One in Middleton

Deputy Internal Revenue Collector Fox
of the Middletown division recently seized
a nickel in the slot cigar machine in the
rooms of the AIiddletown Wheel club. 1t
is claimed that these automatic machines,
which yield up five or a ten cent cigar,
according nickel or dime is deposit
ted, are illegal. The law requires that
cigars be sold from the original packages
and in the machines the cigars are taken
from the box and placed in a rack. The
seizure in Middletown was ordered by Col
lectOr ByXbee. There are great many of
the machines in use in halls and private
club rooms. One kind of machine of SIM
liar construction, it is claimed, does not
violate the law as it holds the box and
shows the stamps cancelled. Collector
ByNbee said yesterday that he lad not
issued any orders for Il general seizure of
the machines. 1t Is reported that the
Middletown Wheel club will engage conn
sci and contest the right of the government
to contiscate its property.

Jacksonville, Fla, Jan. 22.-W. A.
Brady, Corbett's manager. arrived here
from Mayport this morning. He said:
81 feel certain now, as always, that
Mitchell does not want to fight. If he
should get into the ring, which now
seems less probable than ever before,
he will do so merely to save the $4,000
forfeit, $4,000 of which have been
wagered on him that he would not ap-
pear in the ring. The moment the
men shake hands Mitchell will do one
of two things: either deliberately foul
Corbett, or quit after the first round.
Bowen, of the Duval Athletic club,
when approached by representative
of the Associated Press, appeared ill at
ease.
II still maintain" said he, that the
fight will take place. Charley is in one
of his tantrums and like some of his
former moods this will be dissipated
before night fall. There is absolutely
nothing for Mitchell to do but to
fight"
Those who are on the inside are be-
ginning to laugh at the rumor Of
Mitchell's sprained ankle. He was
said to have hurt it going up the light
house stairs, but as nobody was with
him at the time, the sprain is not au-
thenticated.

wade the city tomorrow and which, un-
der the acknowledgement, are subject
to the call of the sheriff, can be dis
lodged by the issuance of an inJunc-
ton, the fight will take place in the
cokkleshell built for that purpose. II
the injunction does not issue, then the
men will be taken to a tented arena
Acknowledgement Houston arrived IN
Jacksonville this afternoon and made
arrangements for quartering come
pany of the Second battalion, which
will arrive tomorrow.
IT am acting under instructions
from Governor Mitchell, said he, and
1 will carry them out to the letter.
General Houston does not anticipate
any trouble in preventing the battle,
and evidently thinks the sight or the
troops will be sufficient to deter the
men from entering the ring.
Manager Bowden created conSterna-
ton in the club rooms tonight in the
presence of a lot of newspaper men
by making the startling announcement
that the prize fighters were going out
on the train to fight, and that no news
paper was to have more than one rep
resentative free Of charge, and only
the most reputable papers OF the coun-
try. He went on to give the reasons
and stated the club was out $4,000 and
he did not propose to have newspaper
men aboard displacing patrons who
would put up SIS for tickets. This I'M
looked for assertion was brought about
by the request of the local newspaper
men for tickets for the morning and
evening newspapers under the same
control

Who He L..

New York, jan, 22.-Wheeler H.
Peckham is a member of the law firm
of Miller, Peckham & Dixon. He was
informed of his nomination this after
noon and was much surprised, as the
honor was entirely unsolicited.
He declined to be interviewed in ref
erence to the matter and would not
nation or not. He has never held any
of this county, to which position he
was appointed by the then Governor
Cleveland to fill the uneXpired term of
John McKeon, who died in office.
Peckham only held this position a few
weeks when he resigned and District
Attorney Olney was appointed. His
father, Rufus Peckham, now dead, was
judge of the court of appeals, and his
brother, Rufus A. Peckham, is at pres
ent, judge of the court of appeals of
this state. He was born in Albany, in
1884, and was educated at Union col
lege; he graduated from the Columbia
law school in 1854 and went west to
st. Paul and Minneapolis, where he
practiced law until 1862, when he came
east. He then became a member of
the firm of Miller, Stoutenburg & Peck
ham, which was afterwards changed to
Miller & Peckham, and since 1880 has
been known as Miller, Peckham &
Dixon. He first became prominent
during the Tweed trial, when he was
associate counsel in behalf of the city.
He is president of the bar association
and prominent anti-snapper.

Berlin. Jan. PIN the reichstag, Won
Boetticher, secretary Of the interior, re-
plying to questions put by the social
list members in regard to the distress
prevailing, declared distress only ex-
listed in certain industries and that it
was not keen or widespread enough to-
compel the government to adopt meas
ures of relief for those suffering from
business depression; that wages gem
orally, had an upward tendency and
the condition of the working people
was improved and deposits in the saw
ings banks had increased.
Richter maintained that state inter-
ference could not prevent distress.
Bebel, in a long speech, combatted
Won Boettichers statements. and dwelt
upon the reduction of the length OF
the work day in the British military
factories. Bebel also referred to the
disorders at Lips brewery, claiming
that they were fomented by police
agents
Won Boettfcher denied the statements
and the house adjourned. -

PECKHAM'S NOMINATION.
1t Creates Big Stir in New York
and Washington.

Washington, Jan. 22.-The nominal
ton of Wheeler H. Peckham to be as
sociate-justice of the supreme court,
which was sent to the Senate today
by President Cleveland, sent Senator
Hill hurrying about the floor of the
Senate in a lively style. He was
quickly in consultation with members
of the. judiciary committee, who will
pass upon the nomination before it is
reported to the Senate.
The senators generally thought
Judge Peckham, of the court of APP
peals of New York. was the man, but
Senator Hill explained that such was
not the case, but the present nominee
was his brother.
The indications are strong that the
nomination will be opposed upon the
same grounds that Hornblower's was.
Peckham is Independent in politics,
and is said to have bolted the nomi-
nation of Hill for governor in 1885 and
1885, The New York senators were not
consulted by the president in making
the selection.

1t Created n Lively Debate in tn,
Senate Yesterday.

Washington, Jan. 22.-The civil SER
vice law again came in for its quota
of criticism in the Senate today, and
late in the session PETER, in an argu-
ment, sought to show that the propo-
sition of the secretary of the treasury
to issue United States bonds directly,
was without the authority of law.
A bill to modify and arrange all pen
sion laws was presented by Palmer.
Lodge, of Massachusetts,, presented
a resolution directing the civil service
commission to report the number and
character of cases that it has con-
sidered since March 4, in which it's al
legged civil service regulations have
been violated by the heads of depart
ments or bureaus or any officer in the
United States. The matter went over.
Calls resolution directing the civil
service committee to inquire into the
condition of the civil service came up
for consideration and Berry presented
an amendment directing the committee
also to report the number of persons
employed in classified service from
each state and territory, in so far as
they can ascertain the number belong
ing to each political party, and whether
the public service would be benefited
by repeal of the civil service law
Objection was made to the amend
ment by Wolcott
ment be changed to a mere request and
that the dates of appointment be re-
ported.
