years was supposed TO be incllrabIe. For
a great many Years doctors pronounced

last Tuesday in relation to the beer storage
house fire, some cars on the b * .. >. w.

of the fire. and again the next night A
reward was offered for information as to
the thieves or the goods. and as a result
OF this an old woman informed station
agent Glendenning that If a certain house
were searched the goods would be found.
He telegraphed the road officials at Cincin-
natl. who sent up two detectives. who
posed here several days as stone buyers.
Armed with a search vibrant. with the
city marshal and a posse, they went TO
the house indicated, occupied by Ike Levi.
Levi was caught in the act OF turning out
spurious coin Of the realm in the shape of
silver quarters and halves. About a peck

the dies and tools, the latter of which are
pronounced perfect of their kind. The Off

Mr.. Wilson Doesn't Think Maine Re
undated the Tariff Law.

LONDON, Sept. IA representative of
the Associated Press had an interview
to-day with Mr.. w. L. Wilson, the dis
tinguished Congressman from West Fir-
ginia. whose tariff measure has attracted
so much attention i'm Europe. Mr.. Wilson
said that his trip across the Atlantic had
greatly improved his health. Unless his
programme is changed, Mr.. Wilson will
sail for home on Sept. 90. Referring to
the recent election in the State of Maine,
the gentleman from West Virginia said
that he did not consider the Republican
victory as a pronounced criticism of the
tariff legislation of Congress. According
TO Mr.. Wilson, some of the Democrats of
Maine are temporarily angered at certain
tariff reductions. especially at the reduc-
ton of the duty on lumber. But. he added.
Names situation prevents that State from
being an index of the political currents of
the United States. Mr.. Wilson decidedly
stated that President Cleveland had no
thoughts of again being a candidate for
the presidency. Messrs. Reed and McKin-
ley were, in his opinion, candidates for the
Republican nomination, but he thought the
Republican party would probably select a
tariff conservative like Allison. The
United States. Mr.. Wilson also said, would
never revert to AcKinleyism or to a blind.
greedy. selfish protection. The tariff will
not be attacked. and when Congress meets
its errors. which are In detail only. will be
corrected.
