New York.
New York, Aug. 31.-Four hundred
hnd twenty-five excise cases were set
down for hearing to-day before Justice
Heroine In the new Court OF Special Ses-
kions. An immense throng filled the
|court room and the halls leading to 1t
oHhen the court was opened. The rush
vas preclpitated by the Justices an
houncement on Wednesday last that all
|tha iiouor dealers who would plead
guilty to-day would be let of with a
|S25 fine; that anyone who would plead
guilty after September l, would be
fined $500. while those who stood trial
and were found guilty would be sent
for three months to the penitentiary.
When the court opened Justices Je-
rome, Hays and Holbrook were present.
Justice Jerome at once announced
that all these liquor dealers who would
plead guilty would be let of with
fine of S25.
aAu those" said Justice Jerome,
@who did not plead guilty will prompt

rush Of the liquor dealers. 1t was like
q football game, and the liquor dealers
fought to get first In the line.
"Have your S25 ready, please" again
cried the clerk, and Immediately there
was rustic of bills and greenbacks
were dourished.
In short space Of time bills were
piled foot high on the desk in front
Of the clerk, and he was obliged to call
out for respite from his task.
1t was said that at least half Of those
on the calendar would plead guilty,
and Judging by the proceedings begun,
the estimate was not too much. At II
O'Clock 81 600 had been taken In by the
clerk and his assistants.
Six big policemen had to keep the
crowd in order and they had to keep
hustling.
In two hours before noon $7,7OO in
fines was received. The collections
from excise fines for the month Of Aug
ust amount to $4,000. Before adjourn
ing court today Justice Jerome an
nounced that pleas of guilty would be

forced to-day, viz: $25 fine.

Chicago society-that Ii to say. the
cycling portion of it-has received an
unexpected and somewhat unnecessary
rebuke at the hands Of Its municipal au-
thorities. Apparently the controversial
knickerbockers have SO worked upon
the feelings Of the City Fathers that
they have determined to put them out
Of evidence altogether. To this end the
sdict has gone forth that in future
all cyclists must adopt costume bag
gy'' from the ankles up, and with the
Jacket portion reaching high up to the
throat. The exposure Of stockings on
the part Of either men or women II
strictly forbidden, and an opportunity

cago to devise some pretty effects for
male and female costumes out Of the

Tho Confcr.no. In nen,.r,

Newell of the Americas, Superintendent
Harry Lee and Deputy Inspector Tai

be done In the least time by sinking a
pump down the old and unused shaft
Of the Bob Tall-Fiske lying ON the vein
and between the Fiske and Americns
mines BY working the pump in that
place the very heart of the trouble will
be reached probably more directly than
at any other point. With the pump in
that shaft the water in all the mines
would be lowered at the same time until
the line of the break into the Americus
would be reached and held there by cor
stant pumping until the Americus and
Sleepy Hollow could raise the food wa
ter in those mines by buckets and the
more pressing necessity, the recovery Of
the bodies could be accomplished. The
boilers at the Bob Tail mine are about
600 feet from the Bob Tail-Flske, and
steam would have to be piped there for
the operation of the pump.
Messrs. Hopkins, Newell, Lee and
Talbot will return to Central City this
morning to make more thorough inves
tigation into the feasibility of the plan
and arrange for the use OF boilers AMI
pumps for putting IT into operation If
the investigation bears out the ideas
they hold.
