STEAL POSTAGE STAMPS.
A Number of Boys Plead Guilty of
Pilfering.

For the past six months the w. W. Ca
witt Medical company has been missing
postage stamps, revenue stamps and other
miscellaneous articles to the value of over
$500. but the guilty parties could not be
detected until last week, when it was dis
covered that nearly every boy in their
employ now and several old employees
were in the deal and had been helping
themselves to the various articles.
Saturday Harry E. Gavitt consulted the
officers in regard to the matter and was
advised to have two of those who appear
ed to have taken the most arrested. Con-
sequently George Boss and Ernest Py-
etzl1i were placed under arrest. Their
trial came off Saturday afternoon in po-
lice court. Both plead guilty to taking
stamps at different times and were fined.
Mr.. Gavitt says: Other arrests may
follow unless the parents of the boys set
tie for the things carried off. There are
ten or fifteen boys who have confessed to
taking small amounts at different times
and positive proof against others who have
been in our employ but who are now
working elsewhere. We regret very much
to find that it was the boys who are now
and who have been in our esta blishmen t
who were guilty, as it was thought to be
outsiders who had been helping them
selves AS we use between three and five
hundred dollars worth of postage stamps
each month, it makes it necessary that we
have only parties whom we can trust to
handle our mail

comprised twenty-four persons, includ-

train during the absence from Washing
ton. It is a special furnished by the
Pennsylvania railroad company, and it
has been fitted out with the view of
rendering the party comfortable and at
the same time making it possible for
its members to pursue their labors very
much as if they were in their quarters
in Washington. It consists of com bin
alton baggage and parlor smoker, a
Pullman dining car, a sleeper composed
exclusively of drawing rooms for the
members of the commission, a twelve
section, double drawing room sleeper.
and the private car of General Dodge,

AN ELEVATOR COMBINE.
Manufacturers are Organizing Huge
Tr11sf

Chicago, Oct. 17.-EIevator manu-
featuring interests of the east and west
win be revOlutionized in the course of
the next month if negotiations toward
the formation of a big combine, now
apparently near a successful conclusion,
are carried through by agents here with
that end in view.
W. D. Baldwin of the Otis Elevator
company of New York, who has been in
Chicago for some days attempting to
complete the plan, left yesterday for the
east, and it is said he carried with him
an option on the plant Of the Crane
Elevator company, that corporation, ae-
cOrding to the rumOrs, having decided
to leave the elevator field entirely.
The other Chicago companies con-
cerned in the deal are the Standard
Elevator company and the Eaton &
Prince Co., although definite action has
not been taken by either of these es-
adjustments. For a year. it is said,
the negotiations have been in progress,
but until this week there have been diff
ficulties which prevented the execution
of the plan.

$4,000 DAY.
Paid in Revenue Taxes by New York
Stock Exchange.

Wheeling, W. Va, Oct. 17-Nathan B.
Scott, commissioner of internal reve-
nue. and West Virginia's member of the
national Republican committee, stop
ped over to spend Sunday in his home
city while en- route to Chicago to at
tend the peace jubilee.
In an interview Commissioner Scott
stated that the revenue receipts contin-
ue to meet the estimates and the force
in his bureau is kept as busy as ever.
Saturdays daily report of receipts
showed them to be 1897, pa, an increase
over the same day last year of $3.50, sos
The total for the month up to date was
81, 041, 532. SO. The total receipts since
June 80, the day following which date
the law went into effect, was $50, $751;
556.62; an increase over the same period
in 1897 of $50, O29, 667.04. This gives an
idea of the magnitude of the work of
the bureau In speaking of the new
stamp tax, Mr.. Scott said that the
wealthy classes and the corporations
pay a very large share of them, the
New York exchange alone contributing
about $4,000 per day. Little or no com
plants is made by these who pay the
heaviest portions Of stamp tax.
