AGAIN IN TROUBLE.

Mrs. D. j. Lewis swore out warrants
yesterday against her husband and
Mollie Hertzberg before Squire w. w
Rogers, charging them with fornica-
ton. Officers Zimmerman and BECKER
ton served the warrants. They found
both parties in the Hertzberg abode in
PAPER Mil alley When the officers
called Miss Mollie was in bed aseep
and had not seen Lewis for some time
But the officers were not so easily
thrown off the track and after a dill
gent search discovered Lewis between
the floor and ceiling having gotten
there through hole in the floor. The
two were escorted up to Justice Rog-
ers, who sent them to Jail in default
of $10O bond each to appear before him
this afternoon at o'clock. The same
parties were found guilty Of the same
charge about two weeks ago and were
each fined $40 and costs. These fines
have not been cleared up yet, and so
there will be two charges against
them. Lewis is a produce dealer and
resides in the Second ward.

THE EXPRESS RECEIPT TAX.

Judge Tuley, Of the Circuit Court, in
Chicago, has decided in the test case
brought by the Illinois Manufacturers
Association, that the United States ex-
press Company must accept for trans
portation packages for shipment with
out the payment Of one cent in excess
CT the regular charge. to cover the cost
of the revenue stamp that must be at
tached to the receipt for the packa ge.
The judge holds that it is the duty of
the company and not the shipper to at
tach the stamp to the receipt.
That appears to be an entirely SEN
s!ble decision. for it was evidently the
purpose of Congress, in framing the
revenue law. to compel the express
companies TO bear this tax. The pur-
pose also was, doubtless, to put the
burden OF taxation upon the various
corporations which are now tryilg to
shift it upon the shoulders of their pa
irons. and this decision. If sustained by
the higher courts to which the case
viii be carried, is likely TO have con-
siderable effect upon similar cases
that are brought to test the real intent
OF the revenue law.
Il is unfortunate that the law was
ret SO framed as to make its mean
ing perfectly clear with respect to the
tax upon express and telegraph COM
panies. fer If that had been done the
litigation that is sure TO be iastitutet
to settle points in controversy would
not have been neeessary.-Cleveland

HOcLEY ON THE STAND.
Continues His Story of How He Was
the Victim of Noble Blackmail.


London, August 1.-The examination
of Ernest Terah Hooley, the bankrupt
company promoter, was resumed here
to-day. A number OF lawyers were
present in behalf of the distinguished
clients, who denied Mr.. Hooley's
charges in connection with the pay
ment CT large sums Of money for the
use OF their names or for introductions
to people OF prominence. Mr.. Hooley,
upon examination, insisted with few
exceptions, upcn the truth Of the state
ments he had made. He said in re-
gard to the Earl of Winchilsea that
the latter himself suggested he ought
to be given 10000 pounds for forming
the directorate of the cycle tube COM
pany. The earl, witness added, said he
could not take the money personally
but remarked that it would be given
to his brother, Mr. chHatten. Con-
tinuing Mr.. Hooley asserted that the
Earl CT Winchisea also received 2,000
pounds for joining the directorate Of a
horseless carriage company.
AS to the Earl of Albemarle, Mr.
Hooley said that his silly disclaimer
did not need any explanation. Mr.
Hooley testified that Earl de La War;
offered him LOCO pounds to say that
the $4,000 pounds paid him by the
witness was a gift made after the
fiotation of the company in which the
earl figured.
Mr.. Hooley further testified that GER
tain directors of the Humber company
offered him 1000 pounds and 1000
pounds to commit perjury and say that
the $4,000 pounds which he paid them
was profit from other business.
Mr.. Hooley said that while out driv-
ing yesterday, a little man in a han
som cab stepped him and said: There
are thousand sovereigns in the ham
som for you
Mr.. Hcoley said in reply: What
have to do for tnat?"
ThereupCn the little man is aleged
to have answered: "If you will say the
money you gave Lord Albermarle was
a present made after the company
was foated, am tC leave you the SOW
ereigns and take your word Of honor"
Mr.. Hooley said: Il told him | would
punch his head If he did not go away"
Mr.. Hooley then told of the payments
which he claims to have'made to the
financial editors of the Pail Mall Ga
zette and the Westminster Gazette, al
leging that he paid the former in Or
der to keep him quiet"

Club will iaaugurate the experiment of
q three-days' boxing carnival All the
contests will take place in the Bridge
port Opera House. Match maker Os-

low, have done their training at Pitts
burg and McKeesport, and look to be
in perfect condition All are confident
of winning, and their confidence is
shared by Connolly. After the selec-
ton of a referee this afternoon, there
can be no further hitch.
The card for tonight will be twenty
rounds or more between Louden Camp
bell, of Pittsburg, and Engeqe Bezenah,
of Cincinnati. Both are fclever men
and hard punchers. They will box at
1872 pounds. Campbell has fought be-
fore the M. A. c.. and Bezenah before
