The troubles seems to have boen that the women who were] expected to do thelr trad- ing there preferred to make [their purchases where there was not so much co-operation, — A oasn that Is of interest to liquor drinkers as well as to liquor dealers has just been decided in the United States oourt in New York.

This was done while the whisky remained in the or- Iginal stamped barrels, and the owners were arrested on the charge that this was @& fraud which forfelted the spirits to the government, The defendant admitted - that he had ‘“‘watered” his stock, and pleaded that this was the custom among retail liquor dealers. The court gave judgment for the defend sut, Io other words, the court de- cided that the watering of whiskey in barrels, after the taxes are paid, may be » fraud on the purchaser, but it is not & fraud on the government, This 1s another instance wherestock water- ing is made legal, the Black Forest have boen translated | the princely subsidies in lands and into all the modern languages, In the [ bonds which the people voted and do- oarly part of this month the cable an- [ nated toward their enterprise, and nounced the doath of Anthony Trol- | they have created flatitious capital by lope, one of the bist known English | credit mobiler cohstraction companies, and thus frequently more than double ¢ olrcles mourn firat of all [ the cost.

Mr, Gebhardt, although quite a young man, being probably not more than 24 or 20 years of age, is already a well known figure in New York sccioty. He was a prominent polo player when the Manhattan Polo association first opened the Polo grounds, playing then twice a week during the season of 1880, 1n 1881 he became known a8 & leading owner of race horses, and in conjunction with Arthur Hunter, the well known gentleman rider, pur- chased that maguificent race horse, Eolo, whose formances marked him as one of J:' finest stayers ever seen upon the American turf, 'Mr, Gebhardt soon became known as » d| work on the streets. His talk was good judge of a race horse and a clev- er match-maker. While by no means a reckless gambler, he is at times & heavy specalator, and it is saia that in his tilts with bettiog men he usnally oame out ahead. His colors are popu- lar with the public, and his horses in- variably run ‘‘straight,” a term that will be appreciated by those conver sant with raciog matters Mr. Geb. hardt is also & member of the Queen's Oounty Hant, which is both numerie ally, a8 regards ite membership and in points of quality in the hounds, the most important hunt in this country.

Ely Godda Special Dispatches to TR Bxs. New York, December 28, — Captain Williams has verified the story that Oscar Wilde was ‘‘taken 1n” by bunko steerors, The captain says, two weeks ago, Oncar, while walking up Brondwsy near Union square, was accosted by a hatchet-faced young man, who introduced himeelf as the son of Drexel (banker). As he had seen the poet in his father’s office, he took the liberty, etc., ete. Wilde was dolighted. He had been in the Drexel banking cffice, but did not remember the yourg man. The two went to restaurant, where Mr. Drexel ate as though hungry. Wilde remembered this, and not with a wmsthetio smile, Iater in the day, when informed by Captain Williams that Mr. Drexel was ‘‘Hungry Jce,” & noted bunko steerer. Daring the meal Drexel men- tioned he had won a lottery prize and suggested the poet accompany bim to get the money. Oscar did so. They went to a house cn Fifteenth or Sev- enteenth street. Several men wers throwing dice, Drexel threw for the poet and won quite a sum., Osxr was then persuaded to jo'm in and of course begrn to lose, First it was $60, then $100, until becoming excited over the game, he played until he lost in all $1,060. He signed a check on the Madison Square bank for the amount, rushed into the atreet, jumped into a cab and drove rapidly to the bank, where he stopped payment, The check was later returned to Capt. Wil- liama. In the rogues’ gallery Oscar picked out a picture of his friend and companion, “Mr. Drexel," aliss ‘‘Hungry Joe.” Gonld Gobbles Another Road.
