THOUGHT HIn DEAD.
Aan When nis Friends Had Nat Seen
 in Lona Time.

New York, Dec 23.-Word has just been received by relatives in Port Jer- wis, N. Y., from F. c. Holly, a black smith, whom they had mourned as dead for nearly fourteen years. Holly went to Colombia in 1890 in the em> pioy of an American drill manufactur> ing company. He became an agent for the concern and wrote that, havins just completed a $25,O0Q contract. he would soon start for home.
 When he did not ,arr1ye inquiries were instituted, but nothing concern ing him could be learned. An exhaus, tive investigation that followed was equally futile, and eventually the sup position was accepted that he had met death in some remote place where lie was unknown and possibly among peoN pie of a foreign tongue
 ! When he went to South America, Helly had wife and two sons in cosey home in Ulster county. The wife. still mourning him, died several years ago, and both sons were killed in accidents. His father, q Mexicala war veteran, also passed away.
 h his letter Holly says that when he arrived in Colombia one of the then frequent revolutions was in progress. but he took no particular interest ih it and proceeded to transact his bus1- ness He had done so and was on the eve of leaving the town of Bucara- manga when, without q word of Waril- ing. he was arrested as political prisoner and, without explanation oe the nature of his offense, thrown into a dungeon.
 Because of the many changes in gov ernment that came to pass lie was evi- dentiy forgotten, and as all comm1lni- cation with the outside world was denied him he could not even learn which of the contending parties had caused his arrest and long captivity. When finally released he was in abject poverty and broken doswn in health, but secured work as q blacksmith and finally procured funds to pay his way back He has,~howeyer not yet ar rived.

FAMOUS SUGAR CASE.
Decided Against Importers But Will be Reopened. !

New York. Dec. 23-It,is stated that the famous sugar duty rebate case re- gently decided against the importers by the supreme court is to be reopen ed. This was a test case and had been fought through all the courts, occupy ing seven years in reaching a final ruling.
 The new plan is to attack the con- stitutionality of the treasury depart ment's practice, which. the importers say, attempts to assumption of right to increase the duty at will. The case will go first to the board of United States general appraisers. then to the circuit court. and finally to the su- preme court of the United States.
 Meanwhile 1s,0oO protests brought during the former controversy and now on the suspended files, will be held up.

SUIT WITHDRAWN.
Litigation Brought Against Judge
 Warner Settled Out of Court.

New Haven, Dec. 23-The case against Judge Arthur D. Warner of Woodbury has been withdrawn. He was sued for an alleged improper bond filed in the probate court as executor of the estate of Edward Cowles. The case was settled out of court.
