He seon collected bis scattered senses—tor he was taken com pletely by surprise—called upon his son, W. Hesing, | and the chief editor of the Zeitung and Revenue Collector | | | i SURPRISED, Bird was charged with the ‘ust Hesing. He found fitted office in the new lnxurion Herman Raster to furnish bail, and, accompanied by them, walked over to Commissioner Hoyne’s office. Mr Hoyue received these three influential Germans with the utmost cordiality, and a brief, burried scene | took place before him. He announced that, in view of the gravity of the charge, he would require $50,000 bail to insure Mr. Hesing’s appearance before the Grand Jury, which meets next Taesday, and which Is to find all the indictments growing out of the last raid and of to-day’s arrests. Mr, Hesing promptly watved an cXamination, and Mr. Raster justified in $50,000 cash. The party then bnrried!y retired, and two hours after the former Chief of Police Rehm came in and went through the same formalities, giving bailin the tame amount. His bondsinan was Lobe, a wel! known Jewish banker, and he went on the bond himself, Minty 1s 4 dissipated fellow and a gambler. TUN COMING TRIALS, These men will be tried before Judge Blodgett as Goon as the cases of previously indicted digtil- lers aro dispored of. These will not take very Jong, #8 many of them will plead gmity, Hesing’s trial will probably excite a greater sensation than apy other of these whiskey fraud trials, with the sole exception of that of General Babcock. Under the #latute of conspiracy, under which they will be indicted, they can be punished with imprisonment of from one to three years and a fine of from $1,000 to $5,000, The Supervisor, Collector and government counsel are all very careful not to give evem an indefinite hint of the | charges on which these defendants will be tried They say they will not let them know, rough the papers to what particular charge they will be first required to answer. That would, perhaps, enable them te meet the evidence of the government by some legal or technical rascalty | intended to thwart the course of justice, “These are all very bad men,’’ was remarked to me, “and we are eopvinced that they would stop at nothing to tamper with our witnesses, some of whom were formerly their creatures and have now informed us of their villany.” TUE CUARGHS AGAINST mESING. Mr. Raster, who, besides being editor of Mr. Hes- | ings paper, is also his most intimate friend, thought ; that this arrest grew out of Mr. Hesing’s partnership in the Lake Shore distillery, all of whose other owners | have already been indicted, Mr. Raster said Hesing had indorsed notes for the owners of that distillery, and as they were financially embarrassed be took in re- payment ceriain shares of the stock, Per. haps, thought Mr, Raster, the government would hold Mr. Hesing also responsible for frauds committed by his partners. However, be Dut aemal! matter, and as Mr. Hessing 1s aman who has iptricate social, family and business Hes iu Chicago, and as there war no danger whatever of his fleeing from justice, he would not have been arrested in this sudden manner if this were all While thie is oue of the eharges, there are others, as laminformed on periectiy reliable authority, far transcenaing it in gravity. 1am eesured that the government has its possession pers and documents, which again are strengthened by verbal evidence, proving that Hesing, County Treasurer Wuler and Rehm were among the chief organ- gers and manipulators of this Chicago Whiskey Rigg that through their euppored political infuence they shielded and helped the Ring in every possible way, and thats large number of spoils went ini their pocketa lam assured, also, that the evidence as to hese transactions bears also unmistakably upon Coa- greseman Farwell, more especially through bis con- section with Keim, and that the arrest of Farwell wii) toon follow if revence officers can find certain missing “You see this man Farwell,"’ said one of the to me, very smart and very cau.

It was of no use, Supervisor Matthews, who, when be once determines to find outa thing, always succeeds, became soon satisfied that Minty stole these Ute books, ax be had stolen others aud gold them to réct!- fierk There is no doubt of this, now the evidence 18 complete and all in the hands of the government Minty was for nearly eight years clerk in the mp department, and is now reported | to be @ man pretiy well of In this | instance he sold stamp books for $500 apiece to the Teotifiers, who used them on 2,500 barrels—the tax being about seventy cents op the gallon—and as about 100 gallons may be reckoned to te barrel, in these cases the amount out of which the government was cheated by Mr. Minty’s brilliant little stake foots up to $17,000, bot it is alleged that Minty sold many more stamp books and that she above is only @ specimen , 80 that the stea) on thie head alone will amouat to considerable when 1/5 extent is exactly ascertained. BEM AND PARWELL Rehin, who tg said to be a very rich man, amil- honnaire, bas beep suspected ever since he burned the malt house, which, as it was claimed, books of his would have shown that the Ring paid hima certain | royalty for his supposed influence over Farwell, who | was then regarded by the King as their principal protector in Washington, Another char Rebs 8 that he spirited away the receipts for certain 150 barrels of ‘crooked’? whis s2 as to destroy the evidence —_ against the Ring, and thereby removed the _ illicit spirits, Nobody here bas dovbted for months that Rehm is very deep in the Ring, and that he has always been ove of its leading spirit Some of the previously indicted distillers, who bave turned State's evidence, will appear as witnesses against him and the rest, and, while Supervisor Matthews and Col- lector Webster will not tell what the evidence against hin and his alleged fellow Consy:rators is, they both as- sure me in the most emphatic terms that it is periectly overwhelming, NON-ARREST OF INDICTED DISTILLERS ‘The reason why the indicted distillers are not ar- Tested and will not be until the Grand Jury has for- mally indicted them, is that their distilleries are sup- posed to be @ suflicient security against their escape. ‘This may not be the true reason, but it is the one given by the leading officials of the prosecution. THIUMVIKATE OF FRAUD, From the best authority it is stated that the head and front of the offence with which Hesing, Rebm and Mller are charged is that they formed a kind of triumvirate, which controlled the politics and at the same time the | distilleries of Chicago. Miller, more especially, boneht up the gaugers and storekeepers for the “erooked”’ dis iilleries, £0 that they ehould connive at their frauds, and Hesing and Rebm assigned these officials, through their influence, to whatever distilleries they pleased, According to this informant, whose word 1 cannot Goubt, it was generally understood that no distiller could run his establishment if he did not pay a heavy | to Hesing and Rebm, and they would soon worry even honest dealers into recognition of their power by making trouble for them. Thus they came finally to be recognized by ali the distillers as the leaders of the King, who distributed the money am the store, keepors, gaugers and other officials an turn af. forded them political protection. The strangest thing s that, while Rehm is very rich, Hesing is said to be very poor; but he ig said to have been unfortunate in | business, and the last canvass, when he ran for County | Treasurer and was defeated, is said to have cost him a vast deal of money. Among the Germans, among whom he vs very popular, Mr. Hesing will still find many friends and sympathizers who will positively refuse to delieve in his complicity till it is clearly proven. Colouel Mathews goes to Springfield to mght to look out “crooked”! distilleries there. He is perfectly worn out with fatigue, entailed by bis indefatigable labors, The credit for the success of the last ‘raid’? belong® wholly to bim. THE. POG. cleats NEW YORE ‘' MISTIFIED.” The sun, which had shone with such genial warmth yesterday morning, hid bis smiling face bebind tuick banks of clouds about three o'clock in the afternoon, | and in Jegs than ten minutes the atmosphere became dark and heavy, as it had been every day of the week Jost past, With mary pidity an almost tmpene- ble bank of fog settled over the city, rivers and hur- rand the surrounding country, ! That venerable and trequently quoted individ- val—the oldest inhabitant—never saw anything on this side of the Atlantic to beat it, and rarely bas the great Englieh metropolis been able to “mistity” matters to a greater extent than New York did during a portion of yesterday afternoon and al! of last night The azure of the heavens had scarcely been obscured by clouds when on came the great bank of ominous gray fog, rolling up through the Narrows from the lower bay, like a spectral fleet under a worid of canvas, and, with the rapidity of thought, enveloping the shores of both the North and East rivers and obscuring their waters as effectually as though a night of Bgyptan darkness bad settled upon them.: Indeed, some ides of the density of the vapor may be gleaned from the fact that in less than twenty minutes after the sun became obscured the boats of the various ferry lines were compelled to run on half time, and in the course of three-quarters of an hour some of the companies suspended operations altogether by laying their boats up. The Roosevelt street ferry was the first to withdraw ite boats, and the ait, Then the Staten Island boais were withdrawn, leaving many an unfortunate mdividual, who had been “doing”? t both ends of the line, with no other alterna. tive than to patronize a hotel of go back on their friends, literally. AN DMMENSH THRONG of people assembled at the gates of the varions ferry houses, anxious to reach home but pre disappointment, for they bad armple warning dition of things on the rivers f the wtore they reached them, At the Roosevelt street ferry a painted sign, stating that no boats would run from that point so Jong as the fog lasted, Was postea jn a conspicuous place on the ferry house, on seeing Which those persons bound for the’ Eastern district of Brooklyn walked down to Fulton ferry and crossed over and then took the cross town cars, or took a Belt line car in South street and went up to the Grand street ferry. In this way double the usual amount of traffic was thrown upon the Fulton and Grand street ferries, in consequence of which a passage of the river by these routes was effected only at the imminent risk of lite and limb, Of course the boats could not run on anything ike their regular time, and when one did leave the slip it was freighted with no fewer than from 2.000 to 2.500 passengers, Every space in the cabins and on the deck was covered by human beings, and then from 200 to 300 scramble One could not help upen the upper deck. reflecting upon ce of the expio- this dense masé of humanity or vere collision im the middie of the any argument in behalf of the com- ath pletion of the E be turnis ‘and stree! ver by a contemplation of the Fulton ryboats upon such ab occasion as 3 reey City ferry lines any better off.

Several times during the early part of the evening very serious collisions wore narrowly avoided by the bouts of the Liberty aud Des brosses street lines.

He then said, "I should only have got about seventy-five cents upiece for them from the ‘fence,’ but they are worth about $3 honest; there’s sixty of them. “I am not going to tell you who the ‘ence’ is, in New York; that’s my business. ow Ill tell you a bit of my life. I was born in the North of Ireland, and have been in this country about seventeen years.

One day, while 1 had one of my spells, I nearly cut my thumb off with a knife.” The prisoner then showed a@ cicatrice round his right thumb.
