GETS MOONSH|NERS
IN GRANT COUNTY
Deputy U. S. MARSHALL Makes Haul
and Brings Three Persons to
Berkeley Springs.

Mr.. w. D. Brown, U. S. deputy mar
shall is back from Berkeley Springs
where he attend the hearing of an il
licit distilling case Monday afternoon
before u. S. Commissioner ]. Ham
mond Siler The defendants were
John Kimball and his son Ernest Kim
pail and John Sell, from the famous
Smoke Hole" region in Grant coun-
ty whom Mr. Brown helped TO cap
ture last week.
The two Kimballs pleaded guilty to
the charge, while three witnesses tes-
tilted against the whole BUNCH so
they were held for federal court that
meets in Parkersburg the second
Tuesday in January, and in default
of $1,000 bail, each, the fellows were
remanded to the Morgan county Jail
at Berkeley Springs. Later they will
be taken to Petersburg.
Deputy Brown and Messrs. K. A
Fiemster and M. NJ. Jodd, two special
revenue officers from Baltimore, left
here one day last week for Peters
burg, the county seat of Grant coun-
ty. They left there at night and drove
over mountain and vale to Smoke
Hole" a distance of some twenty
miles, arriving there early In the
morning. They came upon the Kim
balls and Sell unawares near their
homes in their mountain fastness and
placed them under arrest without any
trouble The prisoners were taken to
Petersburg and thence by rail to
komney and on to Berkeley Springs
where they were lodged in jan.
The officers had quite a time on
their night drive to Smoke Hole"
They crossed the South Branch near
ly twenty times and got in a snow
storm on the way While they did
not find the "moonshine' still of the
parties arrested, which is said to be
at an almost inaccessible place in
the mountains, yet they learned that
the moonshiners have been distilling
a liquid from black strap" molasSes,
warranted to make drunk, at least.
Like all moonshiners the kimballs
and Sell hate revenue officers, and
If they had had an intimation of the
visit the officers would have re-
ceived a warm welcome.
Bootlesger Caught.
U. s. Deputy Marshal Brown went
over to Charles Town this morning
and arrested a black fellow by the
name of Brown on the charge of sell
ing liquor without a license. He was
brought here and lodged in jail TO
await a hearing tomorrow afternoon
before u. S. Commission Thomas.

THE value of such work becomes
apparent by the fact that these CON
ventions reach at least twice the unm-
Der OF workers who receive instruc-
tons through the county conventions
and that many who are unable TO at
tend county conventions secure help
at the district conventions.
This year the reports from the
field Indicate that the district con
ventions have been more helpful and
more largely attended. AT institutes,
rallies and other Sunday school gath
erings aside from county and district
conventions, we have reached about
1900 workmen. The average issue of
our official publication has been 3,l66

York bankers to aid the local banks
in caring for them This will be a
very easy part Of the question 10 set
tie. because as soon as 1t Is known
the bonds are valid they will find a
ready sale.
Two kinds of bonds viii be issued.
When the property owners are given
ten years in which TO pay for their
share of the system, with interest.
these bonds will run for that length
OF time, but can be redeemed at any
time prior to their expiration. The
remainder of the bonds will run from
20 years TO 30 years, and win have
to be met by the city.
Mr.. Nadenbousch explained minute
ly how the city of Chambersburg had
built such fine sewerage system.
The local banks agreed to care for
the bonds, and as pay day came one
bank would honor the checks. and
this was continued until every bank in
the city had contributed its share and
then the same course would again be
pursued. This is the plan the com
mittee has in view, and it has been
approved by the council and the f.
nancial interests of the city.
To enable the city TO take definite
action, and get the matter before the
people in the proper light, there will
have to be some legislation. Accord
ing to the acts OF the Legislature the
city can not proceed to lay further
levy for paving, improving the water
works or the building of a sewerage
system. To enable the council to act,
resolution was adopted requesting
Senator Gray Silver and Delegate C.,
NJ Seibert to introduce into the leg
islature a bill giving the city power
TO amend the charter so the tax rate
for such purposes can be- increased to
per centum. Mr. Nadenbousch was
also asked to assist in preparing the
bill, and he kindly agreed. SO at the
next session such a bill will be intro
duced, and it will not then require q
great while for definite steps to be
taken toward the building OF the sys.

The Board of Affairs was instruct
ed to place three more electric lights

company agreed to donate one light
if the city would pay for two extra
ones. The council then adjourned.

Sportmen Interested in restocking
the Potomac river with bass and the
preservation of these gamy fish in the
C. & o. Canal, says the Hagerstown
Mail, were arranging to seine the wa

work has been carried on for several
years with much success. Hereto
fore, the Game & Fish Association OF
the District of Columbia, has been in
terested in the movement and manag-
ed the SEEMING. which was done under
the supervision of experts, The as
sociation, it is expected. will assist
with the work this season.
George F. Burgan, supervisor OF the
lower division of the canal below
Walliamsport has arranged for sem
ing portions of his division this week
and has enlisted the aid OF several
we'll known fishermen 10 help. He Will
have a force OF men to manipulate
the seines. The bass taken viii be
placed in cans and transferred TO the
Potomac river,
SEEMING will be done on other por-
lions of the canal, and it is expected,
that thousands of bass will be saved
in this manner. Carp and suckers
and other fish not desired for propa-
eating purposes. win be dispensed
with. The annual catch of fish by
seining the canal ls always heavy.

the new British ambassador at Wash

Moreover. he was the principal

Hay-Pauncefote treaty, on the sub

depreciation of which constitutes the
basis of the differences which have
lately arisen. Indeed, he is generally
understood to have drafted the
