The sum of j1 fr-' $4,000 was deducted by the commis- ; 1 * sion for "overcharges" or "graft." ] A bond of $12,000 was given by 1 the company and should any other 1 overcharges be. found in the future it 1 L will be possible to recover the f amounts. ; . - ] The members of the commission, it is stated, were for a time divided over ] the proposition how to pay the claim ; j < of the New York and Kentucky com- 1 f pany. The claim, it is stated, was held up in order to get more testimony, it being believed that there f was a certain document in the hands i of the Rochester firm which the attorneys for the commission thought would be of material worth. ~L m'.- ?1laft tr\ *? tVio r>r\ m _ I lie uui.) ouiii icii iui i.uv vuu< mission now is settling the court appeals and the collection of restitution i v: money, and the information is given out on the most authoritative suorce that there will be several other considerable amounts forthcoming in the near future. There may be some liti? gation over the amounts held up against the county dispensaries. The claim of the New York and 0^, Kentucky company was represented before the commission by Weston & 9 Aycock of this city and by Perkins, Duffy & McClain, of Rochester, N. Y. Mr. Perkins, who is a member of congress and an author of some note, came here to see about the claim and the settlement was effected in person by Senator McClain, a raera* ber of the New York general assembly. Their clients manufacture Duffy's Malt, much of which was sold in this t State. The selling manager in New York city is H. Curiel. who was on < the witness stand here once or twice. [ ' It has been alleged also that J. S. I Farnum was doing some selling for i this house. The winding up of the State disr pensary has been a good thing for at[ torneys. For instance Joe B.

The latter firm sold the dispensary about $165,000 worth of liquor without a lawful order. The order was ?iven in person by John Black on a risit to Peoria. When the windingup commission came into office there was a lot of the Peoria stock on hand and the first impulse of the commission was to ship it back, but it was decided to be good business to keep it as a heavy stock with which to mix some unsaleable case goods, the new mixture to be sold at a price midway between the two. The local attorneys were never paid for their services in this matter, and the commission in settling with Clarke Bros. Co., set aside $3,000 which is on deposit in a bank in Co lumbia awaiting a settlement with the attorneys, for the claim of Clark Bro6 & Co., as finally agreed upon, was represented by A. J. Carroll, of Louisville. An advertisement announces that Weston & Aycock will bring suit for the recovery of their fee, and complaint has been filed with the clerk of court.?The State. Trance Passes into Death. Pittsburg, Pa., Jan. 16.?From a speechless trance in which she had lain for three months and a half Mrs. Kate Mendelsohn passed on to death at a hospital here to-day. The physicians are puzzled over the case. ? " ? ? * * x _ n Her husoana on tne nigm 01 September 30 awoke to find the woman in a comatose state. Their baby lay on the floor uninjured, apparently having fallen out of bed. Mr. Mehdelsohn had no knowledge of what had taken place before he awoke but he thinks his wife must have been shocked into unconsciousness when the baby tumbled out of bed. She must, he believes, presumed that the child was killed. She had been frail but in normal health. Since the baby's fall, she has, however. never spoken a word. The surgeons expect to hold an autopsy. An automobile belonging to Mr. J. H. Cope, which was driven by his son. Mr. Glenn Cope, collided with a dray wagon on East Main street last Friday night and both vehicles were wrecked.

"When the pi Kaffir boys come from the kraals no tl one ever uses their native names. As w soon as they are brought in contact ol with the whites they take* a white * name. "This produces results which are not lacking in humor. Among the house boys Knife, Fork and Spoon, & were common names. Table, Chair, ** Watch, Carriage and Matchbox were re other names that I had in the house bat various times. My butler rejoiced in the stately appellation of New h( One.

C., Jan. 13.?North axolina will resist to the utmost of ie law the payment of $484,090 of ipudiated special tax bonds accepted - the Rhode Island legislature as a ^nation from the New York bondjlders' committee. Gov. Kitchen said to-night that ie indebtedness of the State was dided into four classes in 1879 and ie bonds accepted by Rhode Island >me under the fourth class, which ere repudiated by the people of orth Carolina and a clause had been at in the State constitution forbiding their payment unless ratified ; a vote of the people. Gov. Kitchen said in part: "For years the holders of these ands have been hawking them about ie country trying to give foreign tates a sop to sue a sister State, reat States like New York and Michan and others had the opportunity : such gifts and with a high sense of *opriety have declined them. I will ->t rrit.ieise Rhode Island for I be sve when full information is disosed it will be seen that her people ive been duped as were ours when le fradulent bonds were negotiat1." These bonds were issued by the irpetbagger legislatures of 1868-69. Former Gov. Glenn declared they ere issued by a legislature not legalorganized and constituted; were a irt of a plot and conspiracy to deaud the State and when placed on le market were sold for a mere igatelle.

Restitution money continues to come Yesterday the executor of the estate of a former whiskey dealer sent a check for $300; . gaj Not much, but it helps to prove the general proposition, that all, or practically all whiskey houses paid sj0 graft to get business in this State. op The attorney general has proved ^ the converse of the proposition?that ^ in order to get the regular scale of roi profits, the liquor dealers were forepH tn ndiiltAratft the-stuff sold to this i ? State. Every day there is some new phase of the State dispensary scandai and foi nearly everything points back and *c} 15' confirms the work of the first dispen- jg sarv investigation by Mr. Lyon and Mr. Christensen. Surprise has fol- ^9 lowed surprise since the Bernheim *9 D6 company made restitution of $30,000 ^ graft money. th( The revelation yesterday came in a Pei letter to Attorney General Lyon from T. B. Felder, of Atlanta. The firm of ^a1 X. M. Uri & Co., of Louisville, was pei called upon to restore $400. Uri of ta3 this firm died several years ago and the claim of $400 was presented to Fo his executor, who would pay only Co $300. This amount was accepted rather than carry the case into the courts. According to the contract ga the Atlanta firm will receive 50 per Bii cent, of the restitution. Cl< Co In connection wi.th the firm of Uri there comes up as from the- grave a j ?>e right interesting little story.

This letter was from a whiskey firm and gave inti- art mation that the dispensary had been lia overcharged. This letter was sent 1 to Mr. Christensen. However, the ' 8?o name of the firm was carefully ar3 scratched out in every place where om it appeared. There was one clue ma ?a brand. This gave Mr. Chris- ^ tensen the tip and he by de- pei ductions found that the firm ] was that of Uri, operating from ro?
