PHTLADELPHIA, Penn, MAY 6.-Tn the
e-appraisements of decorated china
and cut and decorated glassware
shipped to this port by A. B. Daniel
" Sons, OF London. the most glarfng
CONGRATULATIONS have been discovered
by the special treasury agents, indi-
eating that the government has lost
thousands OF dollars. Some idea of the
loss to the national treasury may be
gathered from the fact that on one in
voice alone the hondon shippers were
compelled to hand over g., 500 addi-
tional duties, which their representa-
titives in this city promptly paid to the
treasury agents and thus avoided Sc
sious trouble. Other invoices were set
tied in the same way. The appraise-
ments on the merchandise were offered
to be advanced by the treasury agents
who were determined to have the
rightful duties paid or resort to the
courts, not only for civil proceedings
to recover the duties, but also to
punish all having guilty knowledge of
the falsity of the invoices.
The board of general appraisers re-
viewed the case in New York and with
out differences of opinion the appraise-
ments of A. b. Daniel & Sons were ad-
vanced mp TO $50 per cent and notifica-
ton was forwarded at once to the col
lector of the port of Philadelphia. 1t is
difficult to estimate the governments
loss, but il is believed the undervalua-
tiOns have involved losses of $3.50, 900
per annum and that the fraud has been
going on for at least ten yeas past.
Very little of the merchansise came to
Philadelphians but was consigned to
wealthy railroad presidents and capi-
talists in Chicago, Milwaukee, st.
Louis, Pittsburg,. Cincinnati and as far
west as San Francisco.

SOUTHERN ENLARCES ITS HOLDINGS.
Control In the Capital Stock of the CIncin-
natl, New Orleans and Texas Pa
cInc to fse Equally Held by the
Southern and c. II. & d.

NEW York, May 4.-The Southern
railway and Cincinuatti, Hamilton &
Dayton railroad interests have settled
all difficulties as to the Cincinnati ex-
tension bonds and the proposals under
lying them on basis entirely satisfac-
tory to both parties.
The Southern railway yesterday took
control OF the Alabama Great Southern
Railway company by the election of
Samuel Spencer, Charles II. Coster. j.
p. Morgan jr., Francis Lvnde Stetson,
w. G.. Oakman, A. j. Thomas, and
George w. Maslin, as majority of the
board of directors, with Samuel Spen-
Ger as chairman.
Under the terms of the settlement
the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton in
terests retire entirely from the Alaba-
ma, Great Southern, the Southern rail-
way having acquired there entire hold
ings. The control in capital stock of
the Cincinnati, New Orleans & Texas
Pacific company, is to be owned and
held equally and jointly by the
Southern Railway and the Cincin-
natl. Hamilton Sc Dayton interests
and it is hoped a reorganization of that
company or a new lease or the pur-
chase of the Cincinnati Southern can
be effected and the line continued un-
der neutral management to be operated
independently, but preferably to the
interest of the Cincinnati, Hamilton
and Dayton on the north, and the
Southern and the Ala bama Great South
ern on the south. This insures har-
mony between the parties, stops litiga
tion and fully protects the interests of
Cincinnati in the manner in which her
citizens seemed to prefer. The South.

line which insures also protection to

saIoons Refuse to CIose.

Knoxville, May ALI the saloons in
this city are in full blast tonight and a
man can get anything from beer to a
mint julip, despite the fact that the
early closing ordinance went into effect
this morning. The ordinance which
was passed by the city fathers some
time ago says the saloons cannot open
before 5 in the morning and must close
at 10 at night. Today one saloon firm
filed bill in the Chancery Court to test
the validity of the ordinance. The bill
alleges some slight mistakes were made
in the passage, but the principal ground
for injunction is that several saloons
have licenses which do not expire for
some months, and they charge they can
be made subject to no restrictions until
their licenses are out. Chancellor III.
B. Lindsay granted temporary injunc-
tion, serving process on the mayor and
the chairman of the board of public
works.

Murdered by whitecaps.

A dispatch from Sevierville, the
county seat of Sewer county, where a
notorious gang of whitecaps have held
forth for two years past, says: Thomas
Gibson, well-to-do farmer, and one of
the best citizens of the county, was
shot down in cold blood last night at II
o'clock. The story of the tragedy is
told by the 19-year-old daughter of the
dead man. She says she and her father
were alone in the house when three
men came and tried to get her father to
come out, and when he refused they
knocked the door down. When the
father showed fight by raising chair
one of the whitecaps fired load of shot
from double-barrel shotgun, which
missed its mark and tore terrible hole
in the side of the house. The second
shot sent sixty-three small shot into
Gibson's body. and he fell dead.
The young lady fed to the house of
height Dor, where she spent the night, all
being afraid to return to the scone of
the murder, and the lifeless body lay in
the doorway all night. The whole
country is excited over the deed. Glib
son had received the whitecap notice
few days before, but had not needed it's
warning.
