8 THE WHISKEY WAR. Speculations by the Victims in Chicago | as to Their Betrayers. “a GENERAL GIVE AWAY.” One of the Distillers Says They Were Driven to Fraud. Description of the Property Seized by the Revenue Officials. PREPARATIONS FOR THE PROSECUTION. Carcavo, Dec. 30, 1875. The seizures made yesterday afternoon ure the ub- sorbing theme of conversation. A good muny inter- psting details baye vow come to light and they are ail devoured by the public with tne greatest interest, One of the funniest things about the raid was the remark- able secrecy with which its preparation was kept from everybody. Your correspondent himself had a long sonyersation with General Webster, the Internal Revenue Collector, just before the lutter entered a hack, | logether with Supervisor Mathews, to drive to the | various distilleries and to see if the deputies had all fone their work well. ‘You must excuse me,” suid the Collector to me placidly, ‘but I’m going to take a little ride,”’ and he leisurely sauntered out of the Cus | Jom House as if he were going on his usual afternoon pleasure drive. Littig did he think when your corre- spondent said, “Ihope you'll have a pleasant drive,” that @ carriage was already waiting for bim to follow the two oilficials wherever they drove, To-day there fs & general outery, of course, that it was the confession of thé indicted distillers, which brought About the seizures; that there was in fuct a general “squeal.” Coloaei Mathews, however, denies this end says that tuewe distilleries were suspected many Months ago and vbat some of the evidence has been a very long time in possession of the government, The Feason why the seizures were not made until now, he Says, is because the government prelerred to wait in order to have all the evidence, verval aud documentary, complete, THE RVIDENCR, Dr. Rush, the President of the Chicago Alcohol Works, Ws reported tw have declared that Golsen, Eastman’s partner, was the informer, while others have accused Ford & Russell. The govermment officials, however, | deny that either of these gentlemen on their rvcent | visits to Washington had. anything te do with the seizures, lt i generally admitted that the long system of comparison of books, Stubs and stamps, which has been going 0 ever since the first of the year, bas culminated in ‘this raid. The offences alleged against the houses are substantially the same as those charged against all tbe rectifying houses and distilleries which bave been seized It is charged, and the government officers say they are prepared to prove, that every oue of the dis- tilleries had been using stamps twice and three times in transferring their product trom the distillery to the rectifying house. his was facilitated by the fact that two of the distilleries bad rectifying bouses intimately connected with them, and the other two were closely | connected with rectifying houses, though they were motowned by the same parties. The charge agamst j these distillers then is that they removed their product from the distillery to the rectifying house and sometimes by the double use of stamps, sometimes by the double ‘use of barrels and sometimes without taking the trouble of having it stamped or putting it mto the same bar- rels at all defrauded the government of the tax. The charges against the rectifying houses are uniferm and are to the effect that they have been shipping goods | ‘under the india rubber package system, which proves | that they must have been receiving goods from some quarter. Colonel Mathews says the evidence against the eight houses is of a most comprehensive and rushing character. The statement given to me by Colonel Mathews yes- terday that the buildings aod other property seized ‘were worth $1,000,000, seems to have been founded on & misconception, for the buildings appear to be mostly of wood, and if all the property is forfeited and the government gets half that sum out of its sale and out Of the proceeds of the seized spirits, &c., it may deem faselt very lucky. ‘THE SEIZED PROPERTY. A brief description of the various distilleries seized will appear of iuterest just now. Dickinson, Avel & ” Co.'s distillery, which is the largest of those seized, ig about a mile porth of the roiling mills and near the Ciybourne Avenve Bridge on tbe North Brauch, and is second to the largest in the city—the [itmois Distilling Company, which is still untouched, being the only one exceeding it in production. The buildings are ail of wood, very dilapidated, and cover an acre or more of ground, Adjoiming them are large stables, at which 4,270 head of cattle were fed on the day of seizure. The storekeepers in charge were Sedgwick and Handmill and the gaugers Carroll, Greeley and Cord, and rumor Says that all these gentlemen were implicated and will be indicted. Deputy Collector Springer, who setzed Shis distillery, found it tu full blast, but the mixing tubs, which were ' full, were. run off aud everything was placed under lock and key, The stock on hand was comparatively small, as the proprietors were in the babit of shipping their product every day to their rectitying house on Canal street, near Washington. It is related that just after the seizure a young man about e establishment began to poke up the fire. The act taught Mr. Abel’s eye, and, with somewhat of a grim humor in bis voice, be remurked, “For God's sake, let the fire alone. It’s hot enough here now!’’ Every- body saw the joke and everybody joined in a beariy fauy . “We run a very large establishment on the North | Branch,” said Mr. Dickinson, ‘Last year we paid the rnmnent nearly $1,750,000 in taxes, which is more s paid by the whole State of Keutucky, and there the stills are counted by the hundreds. Down South it {s as much an honor now to own 4 still as it was form- erly to owna nigger.” THR CATTLE He was asked what would become of the cattle and | replied, ‘The Lord ouly knows,”” When asked if be could not give bonds under the statute which allows | seized distilleries where cattle are fea to be bonded, he | said :—- “Can you tell me of auybody who will go on a dis lilier’s bond nowadays? You newspaper men bw teared everybody so juat people with property won’t Jouch us.” In this connection I may state that one feature about these seizures may work a serious hardship avd bring Mil fortune to many not in the Jeast implicated in the alleged frauds These are the parties feeding cattle at | the various distilie: Jast seized. The number of | cattle thus fattening at one place and another is proba | bly in the neighvorhved of 4,000, and unless the dis Sillertes can be kept going serious losses must neceasa- | rily follow. It is true that the law provides for the bonding of such distilleries, but who will go on their bonds? Heretotore any distiller of standing found no trou in this direction on the presumption that the accused ‘were innocent, but now the impression is so general that ali are in the same bout that men With property to lose are very slow to invest it in eaterprises so vxceed- lagly precarious. UNCLE SAM RUCHED, There if one little matter in which Mesara, Dickinson, Abel & Co. have the advantage of the government ‘While some 30,000 gallons of spirits found at the dis tillery may be forfeited, the concern itself will prove | ‘of little value to Uncie Sam, because it i# built on | Jeased ud, the lease expiring oext June. By a law seventy-two hours belore they are drawn off | | for the still, It joliows, of course, that although no | new mash will be wade alter the seizure of yesterday | | | work was done yesterday and to-d | whiskey made if the officials were not willing and in | follows:—The Aleohol passed in 1806 all distillers must own the land on whieh their establishments are situated, butan exemption was in favor of those already erected on leased ground, Of this number wi hit Of this firm. Hence the concern cannot hereafter be used unless the land is bought with it, and the distillery without the land, the lease expiring in a few months, would certainly prove a igs fnvesiinent lor any person disposed to purchase THR CHICAGO ALCOHOL WORKS ‘The buildings of the Chicago Alcohol Work: nia | ated on the corner of Kinzie and Seymour ts. ‘They are partly of brick and partly of wood, thrown ther without any apparent design and grouped | round a large chimney. The first thing that strikes the eye as one comes Lear the place is a long row of whitewashed stavies, given up to the cattle, which are | fed upon slops. The whole place is, although uncomely in looks, rather conveniently situated aud tolerably well arranged. It may be said, in connection with this piace, that it is probably more deeply covered with ie of guiit than any other place seized yenverday. | Specitic charges against the company are that it | has been for along time in the batit of shipping its | Product to the rectifying house without any pretence | of stamp in some cuses, and agam of shipping the from the disuiliery to the rectifying house ly stamped and then sending back eitner the barrels to be either refilled or the stamps tobe upom other barrels of the same general capacity. rnment bas in its possession evidence in great to prove both these charges.

A_ part of the testimony jainst the Chicago Alcohol Works is documentary, but it is stated that a still larger portion is based on the revelations of distillers already indicted, The statement is contra- | dicted in offical quarters, but I give it for what it is worth, These works of the Chicago Alcohol Company were partly destroyed by fire on thé night of 6th of | April last, involving a loss of $20,000, ‘The rectifying works of the Chicago Alcohol Com- | pany, at No. 116 Franklin street, were seized by Deputy | Collector H. A. Plipton. The books and papers of the | company were found intact’ Dr. Rush, one of the pria- | cipal proprietors, was interviewed, and said in answer to inquiry that the seizure was unexpected and he did not believe that the business would be long interrupted, as immedmve steps would be taken to bond the estubiish- ment THE SOUTH BRANCH DISTILLERY. At the Soutn Branch Distillery the officers found 122 | barrels of whiskey, oighty-nine Of spirits and eighty-six and u fraction of highwines, the fractional part being | represented by @ cask containing about four gallons, | mnuking 298 barrels in all containing liquors. ‘The num- ber of burrels found about the premises was 253. The | mash on hand, the storekeeper stated, would not be | fermented before forty-eight hours, and it would then bave to be run of, so that it would take till nearly Sat- urday bight to run out the tubs. The namber of cattle | fed was 1,025. ‘The distillery commenced operations on the 9th day of September, 1874, ran seven months, stopped for asbort time and then started again. Tho superiutendent, Mr. Kimiman, stated that they were never visited before, and that be was utterly ata loss to account lor the present call on the part of the gov- ernment officers, He thought the proprietor would bond out the distillery and carry on operations as here- twiore. Mr. Mokely, one of the storekeepers, quoted the proprietor, Mr. Powell, a8 having said to him some time ago that he would rather anything would happen to bam than to have his distiilery seed, as he could not beur the disgrace attendant upon such an action, although he was perfectly satistied nothing of a “crooked” nature could be proved inst him = ‘The Deputy Collector of this particular district, Charles Loughlin, admitted that the evidence against this house is not so damoing as that against some of the others, COOPRR'S DISTILLERY comprises a considerable number of connected build- ings, Surrounding a tal cuimney and covering near! or quite half a block near the corner of Black Hawk | street and Elston road, The urrangement of the place is good, and notwithstanding the apparently incongru- ous inanver in which everything is ung together there seems to bo convenience. There are accommodations | jor 600 cattle, and that number are being fed at the sta- bies connected with the distillery. The production for some time has been from $48 bushels of grain a day, | which would give about 3,200 taxable gallons. Like most | of the other city distilleries it was run on the seventy- two bour plan and on Jull time, The stock of hquor on hand was reported as small, because the proprietors | had been in the habit of shipping daily and had not sul- | fered much to accumulate, The government olflicers on | duty at the distillery were Messrs. Phelps and Beecher, augers, and Messrs. Moore, Taylor and Kiliel, store- eepers. Allof them are said to bave been implicated, | PENALTIES AND FORPKITUKES. ‘The foliowing are the amounts uf taxes and penalties | due the government, without taking into account the forieitures for which these firms will be sue Chicago Alcobol Works (both bouses). Dickinson, Abel & Co. (beth houses). . Keely & Matther’s South Bra: y pany Black Hawk Distillery Company. While it is not easy to give exact figures as to the value of the real estate and buildings used by the | distilleries. and rectifying houses seized, yet an ap- proximate valuation may be sct upon’ them with sometuing like accuracy. Dickinson, Abel & Co.'s works probably cost $30,000 to build and repair, but of course they would pot bring anything like th at present. The Chicago Aicobol Works have been v about $20,000, but that suum would probably not replace them if they were totally consumed by tire. Keely & Kerwin’s ¢stablisbment is very costly as to the grounds and building, but not so much so as to furnishing and equipment Jor running. Probably $15,000 would cover their property outside of real estate and stock, Matther Tung a smuali busimess, and $10,000 is an outside limit | jor ull his ixiures apd property, except his stock. The South Branch Company is the best uf the lot in point of equipment aud value thereof, and the same building could not probably be erected again for less than $65,000, The Blick Hawk Distillery (“Cooper's”) is suid to have cost something like $25,000 to put up, but js so far run down that it wil] probably not bring’ that sum by considerable. Although ali the distilleries were nominally seized and stopped yesterduy, yet the production will not be | Stopped till to-morrow night in most cases. This is because all of them are on seventy-two hour time; or, im otber words, the mashes are allowed to ferment there remain two days’ work in distilling the mash already in the tubs. The first daty of the deputies of the Collector and Supervisor is to proceed to take inventories of all prop- erty found on apy of the premises seized, Some of this y. It may take ull to-morrow tw complete these inventories, even with the utmost diligen Until these inventories are filed it is impossible to say exactly bow much the government has protited by these seizures, provided the results of a trial shall confirm the action taken yesterday, Lt it should be proved that the distilleries have been running “erooked,”’ or breaking the law in such a way as should justify their seizure, they are by law forfeited to the government, together with such penalties and assess- ments for back taxes as the trials shall show to be | proper. A DIBTILLER IN RXTENUATION. Mr. Miller, one of the distillers implicated, is reported to have suid:—~It looks as if there had ‘been u gen- eral ‘give-away.’ I guess those indicted fellows bave all gove io with the good ones and are making the best terms they can by telling all they know.” He was axked, “What terms do you unink they have inude or will be ableto make?’ and made this signiticant reply :-— ‘My idea is that they will just about manage to keep | themselves out of the Penitentiary by pleading guilty, ying « fine and forfeiting their property. It’s pretiy ard on th men. Ill venture to say there is not a distiller in Chicago that is any richer than he was two years ugo. It has been up-hill work with them. The tact of the matter is the goverament is to blame for all this trouble. There could not be a gallon of ‘crooked’ fact anxious that 1 should be. We this thing here as long as we could. know exactly when the first ventures were made by officials to go into this business, They were made to Gibson, of Cincinnati. Then they made propositions to us, and we fought the thing as hard as we could. I tell you the distillers ain’t balf as much to blame as people generally imagine. If they have made ‘crooked’ whiskey it was because they could not belp them- selves. I leel they have been very much wronged, and 1 mean to stick by them," ‘TH PROSKCUTION PREPARING. Mr. Burke, the Assistant United States District At- | torney, was busy all day preparing the tniormation which has to be lodged against the seized distilleries. The papers will be filed to-day, and the distillers will then come forward and offer to bond their pl Judge Blodgett will have to appoint three disinterested persons to appraise the value of the property, and if the distillers give bonds for twice the amount of such value they can resame operations. As ulready above indicated, most of them will hardly find boodsmen; so that the great whiskey mapulacturing ousiness of Chicago, which yields to the government a revenue of almost $1,000,000 per month, will be almost entirely crippled for some time to come THE SITUATION AT HE LATEST MOMENT— BONDS TO BE GIVEN BY DISTILLERS FOR THE CONTINUANCE OF THEIR BUSINESS—INPORMA- TION RENDERED BY TEER INDICTED PARTIES WITH A HOPE OF LENIENCY. Cmicago, Dec. 30, 1875. Your correspondent bas visited all the leading dis- | tillers whose establishments were seized, with a view to ascertain how quickly they intended to bond them out, The result may be briefly summed up as Works, Dickinson, Abel & Co,’s and Cooper's, which are the most impor- tant, intend tw give bonds as soon as possible | if they can find bondsmen. The Alcohol Works will | require bonds to the amount of $400,000. The South | Branch, whose bonds on the basis of the present valua- | tion would amount to $1,000,000, is the only one whose | owner is undecided whether to coutinue business or | not Mr. Powell is so disgusted with the whiskey | business that he may not even look for bonds and may | let the government have ite owo way; but he will probably think better of fy alter the frst bitterness of | feeling is gone If the others find their bondsmen and | | cas a they are satisfactory to Judge Blodggtt they will re- sume operations in a week or ten da} » INVORMATION VROM IXDICTRD DISTILLERS ‘The payers and books of the various distillories were | all brought to the Collector’s office this afternoon, ve- | ing deemed too important to be left at the distilleries. | To-morrow Colonel Matthews will send bis official re- port of the seizures to Washington, lasked him to- night whether it was true that the indicted distillers had helped to eh @pout the seizures.

The late extensive seizures of distilleries in Chicago have been the result of several months of industrious work by the oflicers of interval revenue, assisted by the secret service force of the ‘Treasury and the officers acting under the direction of Solicitor Bluford Wilson. At the time the seizures of last spring w had been collected suffle made in Chicago evidence ent to create a strong sus- was not deemed strong enough to warrant seizures at that time. The indications of fraud were numerous, but definite record and evidence did not exist as in the cases of all houses then seized, As a consequence, the owners of the property taken possession of, who were well aware of the frauds practised by the other houses, were greatly incensed at their escape, | aud so bitter did their feeling become in ‘the course of | afew mouths that a number of them gave such clews | to the officers of the Treasury Department as ena- | Died them to obtain unquestionable evidence of | their guilt. All clews thus furnished were followed industriously, and, as a result, a strong legal | case was made up against them, and upon this the | seizures have been ordered. Information from Chicago represents unprocedented commotion among the whis- key men, with promising mdications that all parties involved will now be discovered and presented for puntstment. The Grand Jury meets January 4 and the evidence in a large number of cases will be given to it immediately upon its assembling. OBITUARY.

A few days since, in a paragraph relative to Dolan, the convicted murderer of Mr. Noe, the Hxnavp alluded to the fact that he had been visited in his cell by four Sisters of Mercy, two of whom were said to be his sisters. Sub- sequently @ correction, made on Dolan’s authority, stated that his visitors were not hig sisters, but that he said two of his sisters had been, some years since, “pupils at the Sisters’ schoo! in West Houston street, since which time he did not know where they were.” Both those statements were inaccurate. The school of the Sisters of Mercy is at their convent, No. 36 East Houston strect. They have never had as pupils uny sisters of Dolan, and the only knowledge they have of him bas arisen from their pious ministrations to bim as | | condemned man to prepare him for the death to which the law had doomed him, This duty the Sisters of Mercy have faithfully performed in the City Prison for the last twenty-four years, They have cheered the last hours of many passing souls, and by their kind counsels induced penitence and comtriticn in hearts | which bad long been stecied against all good influences, KILLED BY AN ELEVATOR, Andrew Mullin, who resides in Gregory street, Jersey City, bas, for some time pas, beea operating an at No. 69 Greenwich street, Yes. terday afternoon, by & mistake in operating the ropes, the gearing was thrown into dis- | order, the chains broke, and the elevator fell « distance of six stories.
