INCREASED CUSTOMS RECEIPTS.
Best Day Since the DinEley Act Went
Into Effect.

Customs receipts touched high-water
mark today and treasury officials are In
tensely pleased. The total customs receipts
for the day, reported at the treasury, were
1851. 423-more than 100000 higher than
any day since the Dingley act went into
effect. For the same day last year the re-
ceipts were $363, 1O3.
So far this month the total receipts are
only about 100000 less than for the same
period last year. II the receipts continue
to improve for the remainder of the month
1t would not be surprising to see them
equal the receipts for the same month last
year. November Is certain to do So De-
cember will show gain over December of
last year, and from January on the Dingley
bill win roll dollars into the treasury to
more than pay the expenditures Of the
government.
Treasury officials are much pleased that
their predictions are already on the eve of
proving true.

HOW RICH WAS KILLED.

COrOner's Inquest Foot Ball
Player ut Pittsburg, PA.
P1TTSBURG. Pa, October 19.-The coro-
rer's jury in the case of Benjamin Rich,
half-back of the Tyrone Foot Ball Team,
killed in game on Saturday, has decided
that death was caused by internal hemor-
rhages of the brain, superinduced by over
exertion and fall while tackling J. H.
Miller and striking his head on the ground
on a stone. Six players on both teams gave
practically the same testimony-that Rich
had tackled Miller and that both had gone
down together, Rich underneath. 80
The game was free from sugging.

JUDGE BUCK ON DETECTIVES.

Gives His Views of Their Employment In
Liquor Cases. in Charging a Jury.
The following extract from the charge
of Judge Buck, as given to the jury on
the trial of the case of the people VS..
M. A. Engle, for an alleged violation of
the local option law, is interesting as
showing how the courts regard the en-
ployment of detectives to aid in ferret.
ing out violations of law and in bring
ing those who transgress the law to the
bar of justice:
you have right and it is proper
for you to consider the interest that
any witness has in this case, consider
ing the interest the respondent has, in
weighing his testimony, and consider
the interest that any witness has who
has testified for the defendant, if he
have any. Consider the interest that
any witness has who has testified tor
the people, if he have any, be whom
he may, without any shadow of preju
dice against anyone; and the mere fact
that two witnesses have been called
who were private detectives, should
not arouse any prejudice in your minds
against them, simply on account OF
their occupation, nor should any preju
dice be created against the officers for
their employment.
"The officers of the law are placed
in an official position for the purpose of
enforcing laws, maintaining good order.
quiet and rigid enforcement Of all the
laws for the government of the COM
munity and the state, what we call
xvh
quisite or necessary that they should
employ detectives to aid in the enforce
ment of the law, it is proper that they
should do so.
ut is not an uncommon thing, when
the officers of the United States govern
ment are satisfied that letters are be-
ing taken from the mails for the pur
pose of plumber, to put detectives on
the track, to send out what are called
decoy letters with money in them, so
that the thief taking the letter will be
caught in the act. 1t il not very un-
common thing, when the officers of tho
law are satisfied that gang of counter
feiters is operating, to send out de-
tectives and to get into their confidence
and, if possible, get hold of some of tho
money that they are circulating with
view of convicting them. When the
officers of the law become satisfied that
people are engaged In larcenies and
covering up their tracks, they have
right to employ detectives to ferret it
out Those who violate the laws
against selling liquor, whether in local
option counties or any other, have no
special privileges, or immunities, or
rights, above other offenders, and it is
entirely proper that the officers, in
cases of that kind, should employ de-
tectives if it is deemed by them reason
able or necessary that it should be
done. So, as | say, you should have no
prejudice on that account
''ln short, as said at first, the duty
of the jury is to look at the testimony
very carefully, and from that decide
the facts in the case and the answer to
the question, What do / believe from
this testimony and answer that ques-
ton by your verdict"
