 FOR SEIZED MESCAL
Conf seated Mescal Hereafter
 to be Sold in Texas
OBJECT OF THE ORDER

A Nogales dispatch says an order has been issued and sent to the GUS m house providing that hereafter al smuggled cigars seized at ports along the border will be forwarded to San Antonio 0 be sold at public auction. This order applies slso te mescsl as none of the liquor seized at this port will hereafter be sold at any port east of Fort Worth, Texas.
 These orders were issued to prevent the use of cigar boxes and messsl kegs the second time by interruptions dsslers. IL is claimed that those per- sons engaged in smuggling werei in the habit of buying cigsrs and mesc.l at auction and filling the boxes and kegs again with sHuggled goods, the re- venue stsmps and customs seal being kept intact. It is said that one man in Nogsles has sold Mexican cigars out Of the same six bo1es for years. bu. the authorities were never able to secure enough evidence to convict him of smuggling.

AFTER CORPORATION COUNSEL RIvEs Ex-
PLAINS NEED FOR SPUR TO TUNNEL

TO COMMITTEES.

The Board OF Aldermen held special meeting

explained the necessity for station at One-hun-
dred- -forty-ffth-st. This extension ne assert

proper chance for terminal facilities. He denied
that the contractors would this extension but

tension was wanted chiefly for carrying freight
The tunnel not big enough for ordinary
freight cars. II any were run it could be only at
Freight carrying might be a good thing however.
Mr. Rives added that the expense would not be
much, as the cost of the terminal would allow a
saving which would Offset the expense OF the extra
blocks.
Alderman Marks asked If the terminal would be
used for freight for the benefit OF the Long Island

BURGLARS PET CHILD.
ITS A SHAME TO ROB THE HOME OF
SUCH A NICE LITTLE GIRL"
SAYS ONE.

Industrious but polite and socable burglars
are operating on Jersey City Heights and it's
vicinity. They visited the home of T. R. Wright,
No. 164 PaIisade-ave.. early yesterday. Two OF
them entered the room in which Mr.. and Mrs
Wright were sleeping and overturned a rocking
chair. Mrs Wright screamed. Each OF the IN
truders held a revolver in his hand, and their
faces were partly concealed by black cloths or
handkerchiefs. One of the intruders pointed his
revolver at Mrs. Wright and threatened to shoot
her if she did not remain silent Her husband
who was aroused by his wife's screams, ad-
vsed his wife to keep quiet, saying the men
would not hurt her. The intruders became 10
quacious, reiterated the assurance of Mr..
Wright, and said they came there because they
were in straitened circumstances. and if fortune
favored them they would return with interest
whatever they found in the shape of valuables
One of the burglars requested Mr. and Mrs.
Wright to facilitate their departure by inform
ing them where the money kept She di-
rected them to drawer in the dresser. where
one of the thieves found a pocketbook which
contained only 81. He appropriated it,
A four-year-od child. who occupied a crib in
the room awoke and began TO cry, and the
burglar who was seeking the valuables walked
to the crib, tendery caressed the child to soothe
it, and remarked with apparent sincerity:
My, what a sweet child you have! Is IL a
boy grip"
When informed that it was girl. the intruder
said: 1T is shame to rob the home Of such
a nice little girl
A brother of Mr. Wright who occupied
room upstairs, had been awakened by the un-
usual noise, and was heard moving about. The
talkative burglar cooIly inquired:
rs there any else in the house?"
When informed there were other inmates he
said TO his companion, who was covering Mr.
and Mrs. Wright with revolver:
Let us retire"
The latter warned the Wrights IL they gave
an alarm within half hour he would return
and Kill them. The burglars then left the house.
They missed a jewel that contained arti-
cles worth $500 and Mr.. Wright's wallet which
held about $50.
Burglaries and ATTEMPTED bureIaries have
been so frequent on the Heights section that
Chief Murphy has reinforced the night squad
doing duty in that section and has decided to
increase the number The polite burglars who
called at the home OF the Wrights are believed
10 be those who entered the house OF Julius c.
day.

MORE ALTERED METERS FOUND
THEY ARE DISCOVERED IN BoWERY sA'
LOOMS KEPT BY THE SAME MAN.

Another meter that has been tampered with was
discovered by inspector of the Water Depart
ment yesterday and brought into the once
of the department One Of the wheels had been
filed so that only Of its cogs remains, and
only small fraction of tho water passing through
It is measured. An interview with the owner OF
one of the meters filed has disclosed the tact
that the water rate for the premises is paid by
the lessee, instead of by the owner so that a
further search will be necessary to locate the re-
sponsibility for the fraud. The case discovered
yesterday is also one in which the lessee Of the
premises must explain, and he will be called upon
to do so. The meter was at No. 20 Bowery.
In the search to find the lessee OF the premises
IL was found that the same man runs another
saloon at No. 121 Bowery The inspector who tried
TO find him there failed 20 do so. but on chance
he removed dial of the meter at that place, and
found that It, too, had been filed IN such way
as TO record only Il small fraction OF the water
passing through II. The Will be laid before
the District Attorney for his action under the
Penal Code. A confidential circular which is al
legged to have been sent out. offering to reduce
water rates. has been promised to the department
