Delivering TO speakeasies,

Every day, nearly. and particularly
on Fridays and Saturdays, the wagons
of Washington breweres have been seen
making deliveries to the houses Of col
ored men in Helfs Bottom and else
where In tae Jefferson district. said Mr..
Mackey this morning. ''As result Of the
beer war, wntch has continued for more
than a year row" he continued. beer
is selling at $3 so par barrel, or 80 cents
per quarter, ard there is very little prof

brewers S20S apiece, and | think they
cannot long continue selling to speak
casies in our county when each keg sold
means a clear loss of almost 500 II the
sheriff or lis deputies discover them.
The raid made last Saturday night
was a continuation of the war begun,
since the revocation Of the liquor IL
ceuses, against the Illegal selling of In
toxicants in Alexandra county. Deputy
Sheriff II. B. Fields led the party OF
officers including Constable Connell and
Jailer Harry Collins, into Hell'.: Bottom.
in the vicinity of the bricl<yards. where
five murders have occurred within the
past year.
a number Of alleged speakeusies were
turned up but the officers failed to
get evidence until they reached the
shack Of Thomas Wise. an alleged poll
icy writer. As they approached crowd
OF coloTed men ran out of the door,
Wise among them, and escaped.
Trouble at the House.
At the house considerable trouble was
experienced with Lizzie Thomas, a col
ored woman. said to be living as the
wife of Wise, who locked the doors
and refused admission. Deputy Sheriff
Fields solved the problem by climbing
through a window Three empty kegs
and one on tap were discovered. in adj
dition to quantity of whisky and gin,

Wise, the head of q once powerful
political club known as the Virginia
Blues, evaded capture until Monday.
He and Lizzie Thomas were placed on
| trial before Justices SuppIee and Bur-
reil yesterday and both found guilty.
Lizzie Thomas was sentenced TO six
months in Jail with fine of s10o while
Wise was given twelve months in jail
and a fine Of 500, thealatter the heaviest

Given a positively unanimous agree
ment that the market cannot go very far
either way in the immediate future, and
it is not difficult to understand why the

Bankers who are willing to accumulate
stocks or d points lower down Will
not keep up their buying, because they
know that by waiting they can get
everything they want without competing
against the shorts and the commission
house following, as they would have to
do II they followed the recovery right

vaiescent market jangling again. In this
instance they, were rewarded rather
sooner than they had expected. The
morning dispatches from Pittsburg
brought the good tidings that the steel
rail pool had gone TO pot and that the
rest of the steel trade was of a mind
TO follow it; the afternoon brought TO
light the embarrassment OF two firms
