 erty Is Seized.
 Brooklyn, N Y, June 1S-All the plant of the Abbott-Katz Brewing company, at Bushwick avenue, Mesrole and Choles street, except the real estate, was seized this morning by Collector of Internal Revenue Kelly. The seizure included machinery, material and man ufactured product worth. according to the companys estimate, $200,000. The value of the land buildings, etc, is es- timated at $4OO 900. Collector Kelly did not close the brewery. Instead, he left in charge Deputy Constant and Revenue Officer Yates of New York, who are talk ing an inventory of the property The books of the concern were seized for examination some days ago
 T have found the affairs of the con cern SC badly mixed up," said the col lector, that 1 was compelled to make seizure. Within a day or two the in- ventory of the stock and material will be completed, and the company will be bonded pending other legal proceedings" :"
 The most serious charge of which the company is supposed to be guilty IS its use of cancelled stamps. A large quan- tity of these were found on the prem ises in violation of the law. Knowing the output of beer and how many stamps had been purchased at the revenue office, it only needed the finding of these old stamps to convince the collector that they were being used over again and again.
 Collector Kelly told the reporters that Messrs. Katz & Stein, the mana gers of the company declared their inability to explain all of the apparent Irregularities and appeared sincere in their effort to assist him in his investigation into its affairs. The Abbott-Katz Brewing com pany was founded in 1867. Charles Katz is president

He projected lightning rods first, and to prove his theory sent a kite into the clouds. Other scientists, acting on Franklin's data and instruc- tions. had obtained electrical sparks from tall iron rods and elevated Ley den jars.

 That settled 1t. Her eyes fiashed--her jaw "sot,' and she took a $2 bill from her purse and said to the ticket-seller:
 Please give me another ticket and the change all in dimes and nickels."

but they both disclaimed any knowl-
edge OF such note ever having been
executed by the late ex-senator. and
Mr.. Bree told n reporter today there
was no record OF It on tho books. He
did not, however. say that It was a
forgery. When asked about Il he said
that he did not know. Neither does
any one connected with the stanford
estate know anything about the note.
President S, q. Murphy said he had
written TO W. S. Howell at his given
address in New York. asking for tho
history OF the note. As II does not fall
due until May 20 there Is lots OF time
for full Investigation. Business peo-
pie generally view the note in the light
OF a hoax. The signatures have a
quasi genuine look and may have been
caused by tracing or clever forging.
The suspicious circumstance is that
80 valuable n note should have been
trusted 70 the ordinary mail and tho
sender should not Identify himself and
explain the nature OF the proceedings
Ex-senator Fair had close relations
with Senator stanford when he sold
the narrow gauge road to the Southern
Pacific, but that sale occurred in 1887,
three yeara before the alleged note
was drawn. Besides that n careful
business man like, Fair would have
some record OF such note on his
books.
