BENNISON BROS, e i Resolution of Master Carpenters of Omaha. To go into effect on and after July 18,1887, Some time ugo a portion of the master carpenters entered into an agreement with the journeymen carpenters to estab- lish 9 hour as a working day at u umform rate of 80 cents per hour for first-class carpenters, no distinction to be made be- tween union and non-union men, said agreecment to take cffect on and after uly 5th, 1887, journeymen carpenters agreeing to force all master carpenters to adopt the nine hour system who had . not signed the agrecment, so that a uni- form custom might prevail, And whereas, we, the master carpen- ters, having ascertained by a committee appointed ror that purpose, that a major- ity of the master carpenters still work their men ten hours, be it resolved that we consider said agreement null and void and adopt the following resolution. Resolved, By the undersigned, that nine hours be considered a day's work on all working days of the week ata uni- form rate of 80c per hour for first-class carpenters, and no distinction be made between union and non-union men; master carpenters reserving the right to firnde their men according to their abil- y. Men will be paid for the number of hours they work and no more, It is further understood by and be- tween the master carpenters’ that any fourneyman carpenter leaving his pre- sent employer by cause of this resolution will not be employed by any of the un- dersigned master carpenters, but said Journeyman must return to his former . employer, ohn F.

E. ller Regarding the Internal Revenue Department and the Willow Springs Distillery Company. To the Editor of thé Beg: As my con- versation has been grossly mistated by the World, and as it appears to be with intent to injure the excellent reputation that our company has borne for years, [ deem it nothing more than right and jus- tice that the public should know the facts in the ease so far as [ can give them, On my return, the 7th of July, from Cali- fornia and the west, where 1 had been for nearly a month, I received a note from Collector Calhoun, asking me to call at his oflice as he desired to have a talk with me on matters of importance to myself. Iat once called at his oflice and had a long conversation with him, wheremn he mhrmc ot the transaction in question as it was reported to him, The collector said he did not fully understand the case himself and did not know what was init. I was much sur- prised as Mr. Dennis hus been in my employ for a great many s, and wo haye always tound him trustworthy and accurate as well as just between our- selves and the government, His duties at the distillery are to look after the roods in the warehouse, to examine them h:lily that no leakage oceurs in packages (which is often the case) and to roll them and get them ready for the gauger, he doing the manual labor. At the same time he is instructed by the company to look after its interests und see that the goods are properly gauged and proofed, and_that no mistakes occur either st us, 1n favor of us, or against the government, in other words he has to work with our interest in view as well as the government and to assist the govern- ment ofticers in handling the packages so that they can gauge aad proof them at will. As I knew nothing about the affair and felt confident that our Mr. Dennis would do no intentional wrong, I asked the collector as a favor, before further proceedings, to ullow his officers in charge, Mr. Dennis, Mr. Suessenbach, our superintendent, and Mr. Hobon our head distiller to come to his oflice and talk the mutter over in a way that we could get at the facts in the case and seo whether anything wrong had been com- mitted or not. He told me as the matter had been turned over to Mr. Pritchett, United States attorney, it would _be better to have him and' Mr, Patrick present and we would hold con- versation in their oftice. The collector called Mr. Patrlck aside and after a little consultation agreed to grant my request. He at once telephoned his oflicers to come up and I telephoned Messrs. Sues- senbach, Hobon and Dennis, and a short time afterwards they all arrived and met at his office when he introduced me to the newly appointed officers, which was the first acquaintance I had with them, After that we went over to Mr. Prit- chett's oftice and the gauger, (I do not recollect his name), told his story first, which was, as near as I can recollect, about as follows: The five or six pack- ages mentioned were rolled out on the floor to be regauged. In the re- gauge it was discovered that one of the packages was a little scant of forty-seven gallons, while an- other was a little full of forty-seven gal- lons, but in either case not enough to change the tax or make any change in the stamp. Mr. Denmis suggested he could as well make them all run even by putting a thief part full out of the pack- age that run strong into the one that was scant, which was done before the gauger and storekeeper, and before they had time Lo tell him not to do so. Of course in doing this it made the packages run even. As I understand the case Mr. Dennis at the same time explained to the gauger thatit would make no difference in the tax, neither would it make any difference. to the distiller, and he saw mno harm in doing so. After the gauger had stated the case in the presence of all of us, I asked the storekeeper 1f that was correct. My recollection is that he replied that it was, so far as he saw, but he made the remark he was not in there all the time. 1 then asked Mr. Dennis if the statement was correct and he replied it was. Then I said to the collector if that was all Idid not see where the government was de- frauded, or where any fraud was in- tended, either by our own men or by the officers, at the same time it was a little irregular and Dennis should not bave done it. My instructions to Mr, Dennis have always been that he should do nothing contrary to thelaw, which I believe he admitted in their presence. Then 1 made the remark to the collector, that if that wus all there was in it the government was not wronged, simply a little irregularity, and 1 WHS rcrlcclly willing to let the case rest and leave it to his own good judgment, and that I did not consider 1 was to blaume in any way. The next day while lunching with Mr. Fred Davis,” Hitch- cock, the editor of the World, came over to our table and asked me what I knew about the report that there was some- thing wrong at our distillery. I told him that 1 knew nothing about it other than what 1 had just heard and that was that Mr. Dennis, in the presence of the officers, had taken a thief part full of liquor from ons package and put it into another in order to make the packages guage alike, How true it was 1 did not know other than what 1 had heard, and that as it did not change the taxable gallons the government was not defrauded. Of course I did not explain to him the details, as I thought at the time they were not of importance. That evening the World came out with a most villain- Qus report, at_which I felt very much hurt. The following day a reporter of the World came to see me,and I told him that I thought the World did me a great injustice and was very unfair in its state- ments, and as Mr, Hitchcock and myself had always been friends, as well as was his father, I could not imagine what should cause such missiatements. 1 also said that the change from one barrel to the other was wmade in the presence of the gauger,but I made no such statement asthe World alleges, that the guauger ordered Dennis to do it. Re- garding a special revenue agent being in Omaha or at thedistillery dressed in overalls,we knew nothingabout it and the story must have originated in the fertile brain of the reporter. As to the asser- tion that it is a practice at the distille to change goods from one package to an- other, it is entirely false, and if any order was issued to sieze the dustillery, and then another not to sieze but allow no goods to | tillery, we have no knowledge of it whatever, 'The distil- lery i running as usual and goods are being shipped out every day just as heretofore. Regarding their stute- ment that it was a plan to justify the large number of ch“"‘i“s in the revenue department here, and that the collector had put in green hands, T positively deny making such a statement as I know but few of the new ofticers ap- pointed. 1 did admit that Dennis might be technically guilty as he did what he should not have done, but as it was done under the e of the ofticers I was satis- figd there was po wrong intended. From the above any one can see ata Elnnce the injustice with which we have cen treated and the gross misrepresenta- tions made of my con\'vr.i:ujovi. 1 . E. President Willow Springs Distg. Co.

Additional Facts Qoncerning Frank F. Currier's Oareer. The remains of Mr. Frank F. Currier, the deceased photographer whose death was chronicled 1n yesterday's BEg, lie in the undertaking rooms.ef Drexel & Maul. 8o far as can be ascertained, Mr. Currier 18 without a relative in the world, This fact was pretty well demonstrated yester- day in a canvass made among many of the citizens, who, thoreughly conversant with lis career while in Omaha, knew nothing about him before his arrival in this city. The fact was further streng- thened by a talk with Monroe J. Poland, of the Herald, who was a playmate of _the deceased artist. According to Mr. Poland’s statement, Mr, Currier was born in Concord, N. H., and about 1865 went to Montpelier, Vt., where he opened a photographic gallery or, as it was then called in that part ot the country, a photographic ‘salon.’” He continued 1 business there f couple of years, being then a twenty-tive years of age. He removed to Nebraska about 1868 and located in Omany, where he immediately worked into a lucrative and exteusive business. Misfortune, however, never kept away from the little man, It was particularly near him when at the highest point of success. 1t was in one of his gloomy vall death found him, unattended ladies of charity and unthought of by less than half a dozen people in the world. For a man who had known so many people, who made so many friends and brightened so many homes by the faces of loved ones which his art enabled him so well to reproduce, his liteless re- mains unattended in a private morgue is an ending which it is not consoling to contemplate. In the absence of relatives the photog- raphers of this city will give their «F- cex brother a respectable burial, probably on Mon —— Died From the Sun, Yesterday afternoon about four o'clock a man was picked up in an insensible condition on the road between Harris & Fisher's slaughter house and South Omaha. He was brought back to the latter place, where he soon after died. Coroner Drexel beld an inquest and the facts were developed that the decexsed was named Ignaz Lahrada. He had worked during the day in Fowler’s ice house, and shortly before four o'clock left the house to go to his home which is situated near the site of Sheeley’s burncd acking house. When about half a mile rom the latter place he was overcome by the heat and died. The verdict was in accordance with the. facts. The de- ceased leaves a wife and three children. Captain W. A. Van Norman, an old citizen of Omaha, who has kept boats for hire at Cut Off lake for years past, has just received two fine clipper row boats which he will place on Cut Off lake. Five more of the same kind will arrive soon. The captain is an accommodating Fem.lum:m and deserves and will get a iberal patronage. Pl TURNERS EXCURSION TO PLATTS- MOUTH, SUNDAY, JULY 24.

Committee. — - On the Grounds of Fraud. In the district court yesterday Judge Groff rendered his decision sustaining the injunction enjoining the City of Omaha from awarding the contract for the city printing to the Republican publishing company. The decision was verbal, and very brief, and the injunction was granted on the grounds that the council did not take an aye and nay vote on the award- ing of the contract, and that the award was obtained by fraud.

The police have “shipped up” once more on the capture of Felix Rooney, the parricide who for six years has eluded their grasp.

Then he led them a chase through one state after another, and was finglly lost altogether in the south. Years passed and the parricide ven- tured back to his old haunts in New York. The police had been expecting him and swooped down upon his old Thirty-ninth street quarters once more ;““ behind time. Apparently Rooncy iad grown to hke the game, for while the ofticers were raging over their disap- pointment he came back as one of the crew on an eastern tramp schooner and passed & whole night under his mother’s roof. Sergeant Devery, who has been untiring in his _search, reached the pier with a squad of police half an hour after the schooner had samled away with the murderer on_board. That was in last November. Nothing was heard of the fu- gitive again until a fow days ago, whena citizen rushed into the Thirteenth street ation house and breathlessly told Ser- nt Schmittberger that Rooney had along Sixth avenue, The latter nformant without recog- nizing him. The sergeant sent men_out on the double quick, but the murderer had once more escaped. The police are trying to hide their cha- grin at this last failure, but ineffect ually.

The snow was very deep and it was pretty cold, We had got within about a mile of Ellens- burg, which is the initial trading point in the Kittitas Valley, when we saw at the roadside next 1o a low marsh a monster wild animal suspended partly to a bent willow tree, the other part resting on the ground. The skin had been freshly taken off, *Men, boys and even women were standing in groups, discussing something rerly, Down the principal street was a bigger erowd advancing toward us, headed by two little boys dragging something over the snow. ‘1t proved to be the hide of our big wild animal—a genuine California lion, and what do you suppose it measured? Nine feet from tip to tip. The ol one of these boys, mark you, wus only and the other younger. “I'hey had gone out hunting along the river and in the swamp for jack rabbits.

New York Sun: “What effect does prohibition have on our busincss, did you Bay?” answered one of the largest wnole- sale liquor dealers in New York to the reporter. ‘‘Well, as to the volume of trade 1 don’t know that it has any ap- preciable cffect, except to increase it.

All That's Nice For Her, But Miser 8. 1y Stanton in Open Court In this supreme moment of the ion's political crisis the queen and her suitv are junketi round in their yacht on the coast of France, whil vosing to celebrate her y j by levying new taxes on her people in: the form of penny and pound contribu- tions to build a monument to Prince Albert, who mever ut- tered one lofty sentiment, nor performed one deed of heroism, it fairly represented on the page of history, The year of jubilee! while under the eyes of the queen her Irish subjects are being evicted from their holdings at the point burned to ed and helpless men and -born ehildren alike lefs the highways, under nd hedges, crowded into poor hou 1s and prisons, to ex- piate the erimes growing out of poverty on the one hand and patriotism on_ the other.

With her knowledge and consent, committees of ladies are formed in every county, town and village in all the colo- nies under her tlag to solicit penny and pound contributions to be placed at her disposal. Ladies go from house to house begging pennies for the queen from ser- vants and day laborers. One ealled at the door of an American ady a faw days since, and asked of the maid wto opened the door to sec the servants. After wieedling them out of a few pence she asked for the mistress, hoping to obtain from her & pound at laast, but she being an Amer- ican, declined making a donation, on the ground that the queen was abundantly able to erect a monument to Prince Albert herself.
