ago that there was a lot of empty cigar
boxes in the second loft at No. $50 Broad
way. On Wednesday. armed with tape
measures and plans, the officers visited
the loft, representing to the janitor that
they wanted to lease the premises. They
mea sured the loft and apparently were
there to see if they could use 1t. In the
rear of the loft were three large packing
cases On one the paddock had not been
snapped. In ii the officers found about 800
empty boxes which had contained import
ed cigars, and which had been emptied
with care not to destroy the stamps, only
making such breaks as were necessary to
open the lid. The locks on the other cases
were picked and more boxes were found
some of imported goods and others OF high
priced domestic goods. In all about 2,ooO
imported boxes and 3.o00 domestic boxes
were found, representing, according to the
revenue officials, an outlay of about S,Joo.
On several boxes private marks were put.
Yesterday one of the revenue officers
went into Marshalrs place and bought a
cigar. A man was just leaving with a
bundle He was stopped and the revenue
man asked to see the bundle. 1t was found
to contain about twenty-five boxes of high
priced domestic cigars, upon some OF which
were the private marks made by the Of
ficers the afternoon before. The bill
amounted to s103.65. The money was re-
turned to the buyer and the cigars and bill
were seized.
Later Mr.. Marshall was arrested. He
was dumfounded and insisted that there
must be an error. When the marks were
shown to him he said that it must be the
work of some of his employees, as he had
never authorized any one to refill boxes
in his place. He declared that he would
have no difficulty in showing that he was
innocent and that he would help the reve-
nue. officers to get the real culprit.
According to persons well informed about
the cigar trade, there are factories in this
city and at Key West which make stuff
fers," or cheap cigars, to take the place
of high priced and imported cigars. They
come in boxes marked with the initials of
the cigars for which they are to be SUBJ
stituted. 1t is said that many of the best
clubs and hotels are flooded with these
cigars, which can be purchased for so a
thousand, instead, Of getting the fine ones
they supposed they are buying.

WILL OF J. w. MACKAY.
Entire Estate Left Equally to Widow
and Son.

A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun
from New York yesterday says: Much in
terest was shown In this city today in the
provisions OF the will Of John w. Mackay.
which divides the enormous estate between
Mrs. Mackay and her son Clarence. The
will was filed on Wednesday in Virginia
City, New
As to just how much property Mr.. Mackay
left no one seems to know Judge Richard
Dey, who for years was closely Identified
with his affairs, is quoted as saying that
no one could know the value OF the estate
until IT had been appraised; also that he
doubted If Mr.. Mackay himself knew within
SO 1000 600 of how much he was worth.
The figures given by Mr. Mackay's old
associates In Nevada and California fuctu-
ated between $5O.O00O00 and ss0.0oo,O 900
Some have even named $100,0O0,000. A man
experienced in finance said that the Pacific
coast estimates of estates were generally
from 100 to 400 per cent In excess OF the
truth.
Mr. Mackay held that his estate was the
common property of himself and his wife,
which gives her one-half. He wills the
other half, without reserve, to his son.
Mrs. Mackay and her son will administer
the estate jointly.

NIXON NOT A CANDIDATE.
Gossip as to Democratic Candidate for
Governor Of New York.

A dispatch to the New York Herald from
Saratoga yesterday says:
Lewis Nixon, who succeeded Richard
Croker in command of Tammany Hall. has
arrived here with his family and took a
suite of rooms in one Of the United States
Hotel cottages.
He had been mentioned frequently as an
available head of the democratic ticket this
fall, and the suggestion met with great
favor among his friends. While sentiment
has not yet crystalized for any candidate
many democrats have been of the opinion
that Mr.. Nixon's chances were equal to
those of any Of the aspirants for the honors
Mr. Nixon put an end to the talk today by
announcing in most emphatic manner that
he is not and will not be candidate.
Before Mr.. Nixon's withdrawal from the
field had become generally known the name
of another man had been put prominently
forward. Several party leaders here have
agreed that Judge Edgar T. Cullen of
Brooklyn would make as strong a candidate
as could be placed in the field against Gov.
Odell.
The judge has never been identified with
any Of the factional differences Of his party,
they say, and would receive warm support
from all sides. His record on the bench is
excellent, and his reputation is in every
way of the highest. His name evokes en-
thusiasm among the Brooklyn contingent
here, and the other politicians agree that
no better man could be selected.
The great question in the minds of many
is whether Judge Cullen would be willing
to resign from the supreme court bench in
order to make the race for governor.
He can have the nomination IL ne will
take It," said democratic leader, In tones
of conviction.
The only other possible nominee who Is
receiving serious consideration here is also
a Brooklynite, former Controller Bird S.
Coler. whose strength appears even greater
in the upper portion Of the state than 1t Is
in New York city. Many persons believe
he is today the most popular democrat in
the state, and that the convention. which
meets here next month, will select him for
the first place, with a running mate from
the western portion Of the state.
Mr. Nixon said this evening that any one
of ten democrats mentioned for the COVER
norship could, in his judgment, defeat Mr..
Odell. He places the men In this order:
Bird s. Coier Of Kings. John B. Stanchf1eld
of Chemung. Elliott o. Danforth Of Che
mango, John G. Milburn Of Erie, d. Cady
Herrick of Albany, John Clinton Gray Of
New York, Edward NJ. Shepard Of Kings,
George NJ Palmer Of Schoharie, Alton b.
Parker of Ulster and Norman E. Mack of
Erie.
Mr. Nixon said he was gratified to notice
that there is no disposition on the part of
any leader to attempt to dictate q ticket
and the convention win be q free field for
all rivals. So far as he IL concerned per-
sonally. he said. he Is devoting his atten-
tion solely to shipbuuding.

THE TELEGRAPH KAISER.
Sarcastic Article in the Vienna Allge-
meine Zeitung.

From the New York Times.
LONDON, August 15.-Apropos of EN-
peror Williams telegram to the prince re-
gent of Bavaria, says the Vienna corre-
spondent OF the Times, the Wiener Allge-
meine Zeitung publishes an article headed
The Telegraph Kaiser"
The paper says that the emperor's ad-
visers ought to keep him far as possible
from facilities for telegraphing and provide
lightning conductors, which would prevent
the flashes so easily drawn from the i'm
perial mind by every passing event from
causing panic and confusion in publlc ne.
That, says the Wiener Allgemeine Eel
tung, would be of advantage not only To
Germany, but to the emperor himself, who
betakes himself to the wire whenever he IS
gratified or trritated, amused or saddeneu.
The dispatch is sent off in the twinkling OF
eye. but the task of remedying the con-
sequent evil is extremely slow
The paper remarks that the famous tele-
gram to Mr.. Kruger after the jameson raid
was followed by the investment OF Lord
Roberts with the Order of the Black Eagle.
The refusal of the Bavarian Diet to vote
funds asked by the government for art
purposes drew sharp censure from En-
peror William, who offered to furnish the
sum required. In a telegram to Prince Re
gent Luitpod of Bavaria the emperor said:
Il have just returned home and read with
the deepest Indignation OF the refusal or
the Bavarian diet to vote the sum which
you ask for art. L hasten to express my
displeasure at the mean ingratitude dis
played by this action to the house of Wit
telsbach and to your august person, which
ever has been a shining model in the sup
port and advancement of art. i therefore
beg to be allowed to place at your disposal
the sum you require so that you may be
enabled to accomplish your task in the do
main of art
Prince Luitpold replied by telegraph. ex-
pressing heartfelt thanks" for the warm
interest shown by the emperor and his
magnanimous offer. The prince continued
however, that he was glad to say that
through the pubic-spirited liberality OF a
member of the Bavarian legislature, who
had placed the requisite sum at his dis
posal, the government already had been
placed in a position to carry out its original
designs.
1t is believed that the Bavarians deeply
resent this interference with their personal
concerns, and 1t is hinted that the mem
Der of the legislature" who so provided the
money is an invention of the regent TO
escape from a difficult position, in which
he had the alternative of offending his peo-
pie or his emperor.

BALL TEAM TO ORGANIZE.
Efforts to Secure Some Outside
Players.

A movement is on foot to organize a
ball team in Dawson this season that
will place Dawson in the front ranks
again as the mecca for this manly
sport.
1t is very probable that the services
of several crack ball players from 9TH
er towns will be secured.
Manager John Seay has been using
his efforts to accomplish this end for
the past several days, and the indica-
tions are that he will doubtless succeed
in his undertaking. He is soliciting
subscriptions to defray the expenses OF
the venture, and is receiving some en-
couragement. He will appreciate any
aid rendered him in the enterprise.
The local team went up to Monte
yuma to cross bats with the team OF
that town yesterday and today.

A SAD DEATH.
Mrs. A. L. Kenyon Breaths Her
Last at Weston.

One of the saddest deaths it has
ever been the duty of The News to
chronicle was that of Mrs. j. L. Ken
yon, nee Miss Joe Brooks, who died at
the home of her brother-in-law, DR..
Marcus Kenyon, in Weston Friday af-
ternoon at the age of 20 years.
Mrs. Kenyon had been lingering be-
tween life and death for four months,
and, while there was little hope OF
her recovery her sad and untimely
demise was a considerable shock to
her relatives and friends. She was
just in the bloom OF womanhood, was a
consistent christian and was loved and
esteemed by large circle of acquaint-
ances.
The remains were inferred at Par
rot1 Saturday afternoon in the pres
ence of large concourse OF sorrowing
relatives and friends, Rev. Jenkins OF
Richland performing the last sad rites.
The deceased leaves a husband, a
tour months old babe, a mother and
numerous relatives and friends to
mourn her untimely death, and to
these The News extends it's sincere
confidence.

pared under the direction of Messrs.

Against County for Running

Mr.. Jesse Tucker against Terrell
county for opening a public road
through his land near Bronwood the

give the county roadway on his

thought the road as marked out pref
cradle. 1t is not known what action
the commissioners will take in the
matter, but it is very probable that
the route through Mr.. fuckers land
as marked out by the freeholders will
be abandoned unless compromise can
be effected. II the original route is
abandoned it is possible that the route
