A dispatch ftom Charleston to
The State says three thousand and
two hundred and ffty-six quarts OF
whiskey and 1850 bottles of import
ed beer were loaded Wednesday on a
steamship of the Baltimore line and
shipped back to Baltimore and I'M
mediate points. The c~ontraband had
been consigned to blind tigers here,
but never reached the consignees as
the police patroled the water front
day and night and the stuff gradu-
ally piled up on the wharves.
The greater part Of the returned
whiskey and beer was so undenia-
bly, contraband that the blind tigers
did not even go through the form OF
attempting to O. X. the bills of lad
ing, but simply waited until the Wig
ilance of the police was relaxed. The
opportunity eve came. and all par
ties concerned thought that the best
plan would be to return the liquor
to the point 1t IA shipped from.
There is at present on the various
steamship wharves many times the
amount of contraband shipped out OF
the city, and as the police show no
indication of relaxing their watch
along the water front, the next week
or so will undoubtedly e enormous
shipments of whiskey and especially
beer, as the latter stuff keeps only a
limited time, to their various desti-
nations.
Certain enterprising tigers did at
tempt to o. X. a limited number OF
bills of lading for the accumulated
contraband but as they were prompt
ly refused, the practice was discon-
tinued.
A very limited amount Of whis-
key and beer has without doubt been
spirited away in small boats to
neighboring sea islands, as the po-
lice have to confine themselves sole
~ to the land, as they are without
means of extending their activity
to the water, but as they are on the
lookout for smuggling of this nature,
the amount spirited away is of small
moment.
The same steamship that carried
back the large consignment brought
into the city only % gallons Of whis-
key and 10 barrels of beer, a marked
decrease in the amount imported re-
Gently. A glance at the police blot
ter shows that between September 6
and Is, local tigers forfeited bail
to the amount Of $1,150, rather
than face the charge of dispensary
violation.

Sanguinary Duel Of Siasrsin4aw IN Chi
cago Apartment House.
BOTH DIE IN STRUGGLE
Mrs. Julia Trip and Mrs. Jacob
Silyers Perish in Hand.to-hand
Combat With Pistol and Knife.
, They Lived in the Same House and
Had Frequently Quarrels.

Mrs. Julia Trip and her sister,
in-law, Mrs. Jacob Silvers of New
York, are both dead as the result Of
a pistol and knife duel between thu
two women in Mrs. Trips apart
ments at Fifty-sixth street and Prai-
rie avenue, a fashionable residence
district of Chicago. It Is said Mrs..
Silvers' husband left her about three
months ago because of her peculiar
actions. Mrs. Trip was the wife IT
a superintendent Of a manufacturing
firm Of Chicago.
There were ten bullet wounds and
enc cut on the body Of Mrs. Tripp.
Mrs. Silvers had a bullet wound In
the chest and several knife slash
es. Only one revolver was found in
the apartments, but eight empty
shells indicating that the revolver
was emptied and reloaded during the
struggle. The furnishings o ( tho
apartments were in disorder and In
every room there wsre evidences Of
a desperate struggle.
Mrs. Trip was fully dressed but
Mrs. Silver was In her unIere'othing.
Mrs. Silver had been staying ut the
Trip home for about a month, and
the two women are said to have had
frequent quarrels principally over
the division Of household duties.
One strange feature Of the case
is that no one heard any shots. The
appeals for help were heard, hut
no one made any attempt to enter
the apartments until after the polics
had been called.
Shortly after 3 o'clock In the
afternoon Mrs. Trip appeared In the
hallway in the front of her apart
ment screaming for help.
II am being murdered In here!"
she shouted.
At almost the same time a woman
In a blood streaked night gown was
seer at the rear entrance of the
apartment by the janitor. Come
quick and say me-" she cried. 81
am being killed."
When the apartment was entered
blood was found on the parlor cur
tain, and several pictures had been
broken and chairs overturned. In
a bed room of the parlor Mrs.
Trip was found lying on the floor
fully dressed. Her face and waist
were covered with blood and a pool
had formed beneath her. She was
dead.
Separated from this bed rom BY
portiers was another room. Mrs.
Silvers lay on the bed in this room
and her night gown and the bed
dlotbfs were covered with blood.
Blood was gushing from a deep cut
in her forehead. She was uncon-
scious and died later.
AT Mrs. Silvers' right side was a
revolver and on the floor were al
number of empty shells. Search Of
the rooms failed to disclose the knife
with which the cuts had been made.
