but upon going to arrest him. he was

Lewis said to Dispatch representative
yesterday that the people of Keysville,
upon hearing of his trouble robbed him
of about $4,000 worth Of property, which
he had accumulated, by bringing I'm all
sorts of claims against him. He alleges
that they even went so far as to indict
him on n false charge to prevent his re-
turn.
Lewis says he is willing to go
back TO Texas, and stand trial, but that
Willingness may be owing TO the fact that

OF his property.

AGAINST FRUIT-BRANDY MAKERS.
Republican observation-disclosures
ReNenue Spy Fund.

WASHINGTON, D. c., February e.
Especial. )-when the bill permitting own
ers and the sellers of whiskey to deposit
their product in general bonded ware
houses in the large cities. with the privi-
lege of paying their tax at any time with
in seven years. when product is sold
came up in the House to-day, Repre-
sentative Swanson, Of Virginia, onered
an amendment extending the same privi-
lege TO the distillers of fruit brandies. IN
a forcible and eloquent presentation ne
showed how the distillers Of fruit brandy
were Disseminated against, and how
they were deprived Of the right OF Ship
ping their goods TO the largest dlstr-
buting points. to be held in bond until
sold, He made a strong and earnest
pIea for the relief of those engaged In
this industry.
Mr.. Idnney, OF North Carolina, also
made strong speech in favor OF Mr..
Swanson's proposition.
The Democrats voted nearly solidly for
Mr.. Swanson's amendment. 1t was de-
feated by a majority of IA votes only. Ii
would have been carried but for the OPP
position of the almost solid Republican
vote I'm the House.
II Is evident that the fruit distillers
will never get any relief as long as the
Republican party dominates legislation.
Mr.. Swanson deserves great credit for
his fine presentation of the claims Of the
fruit distillers.
MIR. Swanson also to-day made most
forcible speech against the appropriation
of $4,000 for the payment of spies ana
informers in the Internal Revenue De-
partment. This Infamous appropriation
was voted against solidly by the Demo-
Gratis in the House. and supported almost
solidly by the Republicans. Messrs. Lin
ney and Pearson, Of North Carolina, both
Republicans, voted with the Democrats
to strike out the appropriation.
In spite of the reports TO the contrary,
aute a number of the naval officials OF
the department still incline to the acct
dent theory of the disaster to the Maine.
There is an intense interest here as to
the result of the deliberations OF the in+
vestigating board now sitting at Key
West. 1t is expected that the report Will
be received here by Wednesday or Thurs
day.

PETERSBURG, VA, February 2S.-
New York, and under Indictment in

| Jail to await requisition papers. The
! specific charge against him is the obtain

Guterman, a dealer in and importer of
diamonds and Jewelry, No. 80 Rutgers
street, New York, $1,135 worth OF dia-
monds and jewelry. The transaction oc-
Cured in October last, since which time
Tartasky has not been seen or heard of
until located and arrested here. Tartas-
ky has been in Petersburg for nearly
two months. Though he had no special
place for business, he has been going
about repairing jewelry and buying old
gold. He was known to the police, and
when Mr.. Guterman arrived yesterday
and announced the object of his mission
and described his man, the officer had no
difficulty in locating him. He was ar
rested in Dinwiddie county while on his
return from Matoaca, where he had been
following his business. Mr.. Guterman
says that Tartasky obtained the goods
from him on the representation that he
had placed or could place prompt sale
for them and make immediate return of
the money; that after receiving the goods
the accused left for the South, going as
far as Charlotte, N. c., and that not
since then had he seen him or received
any money for his goods. He was indict-
ed for the larceny in Brooklyn. Finally
Guterman heard that Tartasky was in
Petersburg, and he came on and had him
arrested. Tartasky is married, and his
expectation was that his wife would join
him here to-day, when they would leave
for another field of operations. Diligent
search discovered none of the missing
goods in the prisoners possession, and
Guterman expresses the opinion that he
has either sold or concealed them. Tar
tasky denies any criminal guilt in the
matter, and declares that he obtained
the goods by legitimate purchase.
HIGHWAY ROBBERY IN CHESTER
FIELD.
Samuel Woody (colored), living near
Jarratts Station, Sussex county, was

robbed of his money-$l.l3. They stripped |
him of his clothing and shoes and |
