HANNIS DISTILLERY
Clossd by Order of the Treasury Do
partment--Judge Jackson's lnjunc-
ton the Cause of 1t.

special to the Register.
Martinsburg, W. Va, October An
operations at the Hannis distillery
here were suspended to-day by order
OF Collector White. who was on hama
and said he was acting under instruc-
tons fom the Department at Wash
ington, there being no official at the
distillery qualified to look after the
governments interests. The reason
of this is that the present incumbents,
who are all Democrats, were granted
an injunction by United States Dish
trict Court Judge Jackson, restraining
Collector White from transferring
them or assigning others to their
duties, and they in turn were suspend
ed by the Secretary of the Treasury
for INSTRUMENTATION. The Injunction,
which is only temporary, will be
argued before Judge jackson at
Clarksburg on Wednesday, on motion
to make it perpetual. Those holding
Office under it at present claim that a
non-assignment to or transfer of duty
is violation of the civil service laws.
Collector White says he will respect
the injunction as long as it exists, but
that the government will fight it to
the last. The distillery was just re-
Stunning operations, after a shutdown
for nearly a year.

money into the Denverside building
and was ordered to turn it over and
go elsewhere. The Congregationalists
bought the church and he was made its
permanent pastor. He wanted a par
sonage. The congregation was too
poor to build him one and he said he
would build it himself, with what help
he could get from the congregation and
others. Last Monday. a week ago, A.
G. Palmer, an officer of the carpenters
union, demanded that no non-union
men be employed and that union men
be taken in their places.
Il have no objection to employ union
men, said Rev. Kellogg, but | will
not discharge my neignbors to make
places for Others"
While at work alone on the parson-
age Mr. Kellogg has been assaulted by
| gang of seven men, who compelled
him to discontinue work for the time
being. He secured a shotgun and here
after he will take it to the building

SYNOPSIS OF PRECEDING CHAPTERS.

1.-The body of a mddle-aged man is drawn
out of the South Branch of the Chicago River,
in the Coal Yards Neighborhood. The Coroner
holds an inquest, but nothing is developed be-
yond the apparent facts that the victim was
fai= y-well-to-do merchant in some country
town, had been stabbed to death and thrown
into the river. There were no papers on the
body or any signs for Identification, except the
initials "E. NJ. S." on shirt and key ring
Such tragedies were of SO frequent occurrence
at the time of the rebuilding OF Chicago IS to
excite little enduring interest But Kent Hal
liday, young printer and one OF the Coroners
jury resolves TO probe the mystery. He has
vague suspicious aroused by the appearance
of a stranger at the inquest On his way to
work he is struck by the appearance OF girl
whose eyes and face have such a resemblance
to the murdered mans that he fancies she is
his daughter come TO look for him. He sees
her about TO fall into the clutches of vllainous
hackman. In attempting to rescue her, lie and
his two friends-Wat Sparger and Con Pnrtell
become involved in fight, and sll are
arrested.
u.-Kent, Sparger and Purtel, are taken to
the Station house, and fined for disturbing the
peace. Then Kent starts out i'll search of the
girl. He is greatly puzzled how to begin. but
hits uron the idea of finding the Conductor of
the train that brought her in, and learning
what be may know of her. He finds the
house, but the Conductor-Dan Morand-hss
gone to attend meeting of the Peoples CO.
operative Real Estate Association, Of which
be is Secretary. Kent sees the girl in the par
lor and overhears a conversation that renders
it almost certain she is the daughter OF the
murdered man. He does not dare address her,
but goes off in search of the Conductor. lie
finds the meeting of the Association, and is
startled to discover as its President and
Treasurer the stranger whom be saw at the
inquest, and whose name is Ruckenbrod.
Ruckenbrod carelessy pulls out gold watch
with heavy, curiously wrought chain which
is broken, and corresponds with the links left
in the button hole of the vest of the murdered
man. Kent joins the Conductor in the street
car, and goes off with him TO talk over the
affair of the girl and her father.
