FOUR STILLS IN A BUNCH.
Enough Beer to Make 500 Gallons Of
Whiskey Destroyed.

A posse of revenue officers sent ont
from this city, on Tuesday night cap
ttTred four moonshine stills.
These "juiceries' were in bunch,
from half a mile to five aniles apart, at
the point where the three counties Of
Wake Granville and Franklin come to-
gether. Two of them were in Wake, one
in Franklin and ONE in Granville.
The officers came upon the first one
about ] O'clock Knowing that the noise
of cutting it up would arouse the
sinners, who were Of course living not
far away, they took mp the stiA, and
carried it ON to the next one, and SO
ON till they had all four of the cop
pers" in a bunch.
Then the work of destruction began.
Now, cutting mp large hollow copper
vessel makes great noise, especially
Just about day, when everything is
quiet. And i'm this case the revenue
officers say, hut few blows had been
struck before the whole neighborhood
seemed TO be aroused.
A bell began to ring in one direction, a
fire blazed up on hill in another, a
horn blew in still another, while here
and there one heard a halloo, answered
IL. Hllle AWAY
ut was somewhat of am exciting time,
said Officer Hasty, describing it at the
Marlborough House last night, ''but we
went on chopping mp the coppers. Then
a man came by ON horseback gong at
full gallop toward the place from which
we had taken one still. Soon another
horsennan came by going in another di,
rection."
The stills cut up varied in size from
10 to 20 gallons capacity and all OF
them had evidently been running for
quite a long while and at full capacity
"TheFe was a big pile of ashes at all
of them, showing that they were not new

Then there was an unusually large
quantity of beer at all of them. sup
pose altogether there must have been
/ 800 or 1900 gallons. We got no whis
key, but few gallons of low wines. Al
together we destroyed enough stuff tc
make 400 or 500 gallons of good whis-
key"
No sinners were caught, as the stills

with lady and there wasn't vacant
seat. The conductors and motormen
filled all the seats and they paid full
fare, so no passenger could be seated.
At first didn't notice what was up, but
the lady remarked that the men in New
York are not as gentlemenly as they are
in Salem TO give a lady seat. That
caused me to look around and l saw the
men and their hats drawn over their
foreheads. told the lady they were all
gentlemen, although they were trying TO
disguise themselves as best they could.
/ then noticed five or six policemen in
front and two or three in the rear of the
car, and one or two expressmen on the
track ahead of us driving zigzag fashion
trying to impede our travel, but the
policemen kept up a sharp clatter at
the men to give the road but the ex-
pressmen had lots Of excuses and kept
their slow gaits so we made little pro-
gress. We finally got off and walked to
our destination.
The car lines made up with the men
and the next morning they ran all
right again, but il is different in Ward
ner. Friedman is well acquainted with
a good many of the miners. Their work
is not hard. They were getting good
pay, and it is pity that
they made themselves amendable
to the laws Of the country, and |
hope that the good counsel Of the Fed
Grafton of Labor will intervene that an
arrangement will be made between the
men and their employers for Sullivan

until late at night, sell overalls for 45c

they reduced the wages Of the deck
hands and firemen 80 per month
and they agreed to restore the hrst
OF April TO the old rates, but the owners
were too greedy and refused to pay the
men the rates agreed upon when the
traffic was extra good, their boats were
loaded down with passengers ana
freight.
The boat ran down TO Astoria and re-
turned making the round trip in twenty
four hours. There's where the hands
were in constant drudgery with
scarcely any rest.
The men struck for the old wages OF
$50 per month. If ever a man earned
his dollar day, it was on those trips
and yet the company refuses to grant
the men the pittance. 1t is too bad
their boats wasn't where the Sullivan
and Bunker Hill mills stood, without
the passengers, that is the first trip >.
Friedman took to Astoria, and being an
eve witness will give a description how
a boat can run with new hands. The
whole amount that the experienced la
borers demanded more per month, the
boat could have made in one day. We
were DELAYED over two hours in Portland
before starting, but rather than to pay
the deck hands and firemen the amount
previously agreed TO, they picked up a
crew of new recruits, thereby endanger-
ing the safety OF the passengers, the
freight and their boat, and it put the
whole work on the mate, for none OF the
new recruits could make landing.
They didn't know how to put off a gang
plank nor how TO tie line, and it took
double the amount of men TO load and
unload the hand trucks, and many a
narrow escape the merchandise had
from being thrown overheard, both in
taking ashore and putting on if it had
not been for the pilot and mate treb-
bling their work.
They were lucky in having the old
mate and pilots and each Of them treb-
bled up in their labors and after a fash
ion they arrived in Astoria several hours
late while they had the swiftest boats,
and on account OF it lots OF their traffic
went TO the o. X. & n.
