Fbacds on th Keyknck ilow TUB
Waiaar Dwtiuem Etads the Law Makaob
micnt op tub Dirtili.krirh. rerhap there is no
branch of industry that presents greater attrac
tion to unprincipled men, or affords greater in
duremenui to enter Into it In an illeeal manner,
than the distillation of whisky. There are con
stant and uubhibhiotr violations of the law
by persons in this trade that are glaring and
open to the public eye. It would alrao-d seem
that the law is a dead letter upon thl point.
Jtift think of It: the law imposes a tax of two
dollars a gallon upon whl.ky, and yet the
market quotation are frequently given below
the amount of tne tax, and sometimes even a
low as $1-50 to Sl'GO per gallon, or 40 to 50 cents
a gallon les than the tits it?clf.
No one who ha not been amongst the places
where this illegal roauufacture U oarrlod on can
be aware ol its extent The most strenuoux
exertions are being made to ferret out uni
arrcfrt all who are engaged In it.
A number have been lat'ly eeizi.-d, and the
oileuderd arrepted. In consequence, there have
been Mme rich developments in regurd to the
fraudulent distillers. Wiiu the object of look
ing into their modus operand, our reporter re
cently visited, in company with one ot ihe As
sessors ol Intel nal Iteveuue, the distillery nt No.
1725 Jones street.
In the tirt place, it had been running wbi'ky
out of the cistern into barrels in the absence of
an Inspector, three barrclb being run off with
out having toe Inspector's mark upon them. In
the second place, there was whisky in barrels,
neither inspected, guaged, nor marked, on the
ground floor. Third. A rectifying apparatus in
the same premises, in operation without a
license. Fourth. No security in the Cuslo:n
House, although it had a putent Government
lock upon the door, yet with a screw-driver
the Assessor opened the door by the
removal of fovr screws. Fifth. The bonded
warehouse he found in the same condition.
Although it had a large patent lock, he opened
the warehouse by the removal of the screws in
tho hinges. (This warehouse was by the side of
the rectifying establishment.) Sixth. The key
ol the cistern-house lock was in possession ol
one of the workmen found there at 10 o'clock 1".
W. Seventh. The. books were fraudulently kept,
imperfect in every particular, and no record
kept at all tor nearly a month, although run
ning day and night ; and by tbee books it
wou d be supposed there had been only three
sales made one barrel each to two persons and
taree barrels to another; in fact, but little done
all this time, although operating all the time.
No certificate was appended to the book, as is
required, from the Assistant Assessor of that
Division, who would appear to have been dere
lict in his duty in not visiting the place and
making his report regularly, as required by law.
Upon the first point the law requires an In
spector to be psen';at alt times when the stills
are Tunning.
fSccond. No spirits can remain on tne premises
a roomeut without being inspected, guaged, and
marked immediately with the name ot distil
ler, inppeclor, number of gallons, number of
District, and serial numbers of the tax when
paid, and then immediately removed to the
bonded warehouse, under his eye, aud put
under lock and key, the latter of which he
holds, and cannot be removed but upon certid
cate from the Collector of the tax being paid,
and approved by the Assessor.
Fourth. The cistern-house must be secured
in every way, so that no one can get into it but
the Inspector, wh holds the key, and aloue is
bound by law to open it.
This house has to have two or more cistern.-,
each to be ot sufficient capacity to hold all tlv:
spirits distilled duriug twenty-four hours, such
cistern and the room to be in charge of and
under the lock and seal of tho Inspector, and
the locks and seals to be provided by the Secre
tary of the Treasury. Tho keys to be always in
custody of the Inspector, or officer in charge.
This cistern-house is connected by a pipe with
the worm-tub. whiah tub connects with the still.
and through this the spirits flow into the cis-
tern-nouse. r roin tne cistern tae spirits nave
to be drawn off under the eye of tho Inspector
and put into barrels, and immediately guaged.
Inspected, and marked, and forthwith removed
into bond. In this way the spirits never reach
the hands of the distiller, from the time th"
mash is fermeuteJ until the spirits go into
market for consumption.
H?th. The bonded warehouse is also required
to be under lock and key of the Inspector. This
must De a suitable building; "no door, window,
or other opening shall be permitted in the wall
thereof, leading to any other room, building, or
lnio tue airiiuery."
This warehouse of Wrtebt's we find in the
third story ot the distillery, with door openlmr
into the distillery, partitioned off in the upper
room of the distillery, contrary to law, and
open to illicit practices; ana instead ot being
secured against any entrance except by the
key of the patent lock, the Assessor opened it
with a screw-drivei. In the absence of the In
spector there is nothing to prevent the distiller
from having access to the warehouse and the
cistern-house, aud carrying off the spirits,
as is alleged was done to a great extent.
Sixth. The key of the cistern-house was In
custody of one of the workman, as shown
by his evidence; a padlock he says was put on,
as the key of the patent lock tiad been lost for
several davB.
Seventh. The books of the distiller must con
tain all the materials used for the purpose of
producing spirits; the number of gallons of
epiiits oismiefl; numoerot gallons placed in
warehouse and the proof thereof; number of
gallons sold, with the proof thereof; name and
place ot business, or residence, ot the person to
wnom soid; ana tn-montniy an account tikren
from his books, and verified by oath, of all the
facta occurring after the last day of account
preceding, by whom maue, and tn the presence
of the Assessor or Assistant Assessor, who shall
append thereto hia certificate of its execution.
The books of the above establishment had no
entries in tbem ot anything since the last of No
vember, although operating nearly all the tune.
day and nieht. About three persons to whom
whisky bad been sold were recorded in pencil,
amounting to about five barrels altogether for
the whole period since he commenced about
1st of uetober last tin ueecmoer in, the day
he stopped.
The la w . reciuired ihe Assistant Assessor,
who was In charge of that division, to
swear the distiller or other person who
should keep the accounts at the distillery, aud
anrtena nis ceruacaie to me same. xuis. u
stems, was never done. Then they had on the
premises (in the distillery) a rectifying appara
tus, wnicn was in process oi recurving soirirs
when the Assessor went in. He had the
spirits drawn off (which he saw there in a
cask, and tasted and lound to be such
although tne proprietor swore inue was
none on the premises, and afterwards
said it was onlv water in It: this was in opera
tiou then, and a few weeks previous, when the
A'sessor had called there; they were then uiiea
with spirits, the tub having charcoal or what
ever material Is used for rectifying, but he said
nothing about it. until he lound tuemrectuyiLd
ou his last visit. The penalties for all thee vio
lations of law are very severe, amounting, in a
case like thi, to many iuouani oi aouars.
We will notice a uu ruber of the distilleries he
has been the means of stopping. Oueln Cherry
stieet was reached through a mineral water
establishment, thence to a stable, and through

which, on opening, there was discovered a still
vet warm, and on the premises was found hid
under a hogshead a barrel of first-proof whisky
others had been carried off before the seizure.
Another distillery. Twenty fourth and Lombard,
was oneraiiig without connections, and the
cistern-Lou-e unfinished, aud without an In
spector. and opening Irons the retail liquor
shop, all ot which was in violation oi tne fcx
else law. A third distillery was found operat
ing without these connections being made; uo
fapteniDcs upon the doors of cistern-house, or
on the bonded warebou&e; workmen drawing
off spirits into the buckets aud tilling them into
barrel", and no Inspector; this was la every
particular in violation of law. A fourth was
found with no connections; spirit?1 in barrels ou
the premies, neither marked, Inspected, nor
ganged, and no Inspector pitueut. A tittu
was found distilling with no cWJoiu-house
completed, no door yet upon it; spirit
in bunds ou the prcmiiies u lup;tor, X
ixth wrs found with no cwem-house com
pleted (two houses), each of which bus no cis
tern in them, no fastening of any kind on either,
or upon the bonded warehouses no books kept.
Seventh. The place was at the lime of seizure,
and had been for some time belore, in the hand
of the workmen; they were carrying out lro'.i
the cistern house the spirits; the lock was on"
of the patent Uovernmeut loe'e, which had
been tampered with, the two slides hroke en
tirely off, and the key in possession of the work
man who was to go on dutv at nlaht no inspec
tor. It seems in this Citse t'oat the Inspector hnd
resigned two weeks previously, and the distil
lery Jelt in the hands of the workmen. Another
bad a rectifying apparatus in the cellar of a
retail liquor shop, where they had been illicitly
rectifying for borne time, having a place in the
back yard to empty the spirit", through which It
as conveyed in pipes to the cellar. We have
detailed suillclent to show the condition of
things In this District. Such great reforms have
been accomplished in the short space of one
month, besides the reassessment of all person
n ho distilled under the old law, amounting to
niiout a hundred. Under the new law there are
about forty-one distilleries. Of all thse bvt
aboi.t two' bad taken out n license under the
new law, and paid their tax, and that was insuf-
ncieiit. The Assessor notified on to appear, aua
on examination found only three of them
licensed, and ascertained that ' but little.
it any, attention had been given to the-e
case?. There were but few exceptions who had
compiled with the law in any particular.
There are other matters which we will take up
another time, as the field for the correction of
abuses we hnd is large.
The IIoBTicrLTTjHAx, Hall Ax Ex
planatory Cakd from tub ARcniTKCT. Yes
terday afternoon we gave currency to the rumor
that some of the walls of this new building, ud-
jacent to the Academy of Music, were in an
unsafe couduion. We have received, and print
with plensuie. nn explanatory communication
in reference to the subject, signed by Mr. Sloan,
me arcnitect. and Mr. King. Chairman oi uie
Building Committee of the Horticultural Hall
Association. By reference to the communica
tion in Question, it will be seen that there is a
defect in one ol the walls, to the extent of a de
viation of five Inches from the perpendicular.
But as this defect is to be instantly remeoieo,
we have no doubt that when the building is
completed, it will be one of the strongest aud
safest, as well as one of the most beautiful and
commodious iu the city. The letter from
Messrs. Sloau & King reads as follows:
Z the Editor of The Evening Telegraph.
Sir: The notice which appeared in your ic-
portorial columns of yesterday in regard to this
building has both surprised and palued those
who have been engaged in its erection, and ou
their behalf we hasten to lay before your readers
the following facts, which, we. doubt not, will
satisfy the public mind ibat every care has been
taacn in its erection, to make this building
not merely as sironn, but, as we believe, tar
stronqer than any editice of a similar kind iu
Philncclphia. The reputation of the architect
(Samuel bloan, tsq.), together with the follow
ing detailed description of the building, will, il
is confidently expected, be a sulilcient guarantee
of the truth of this assertion:
The lowest foundations, or "footings." as they
are technically called, are three feet six inches
thick, the remainder of the stone basement walls
miny-mree inches thick, and ail tue outer one
walli thirty one inches thick, and the back or
gable wall thirty inche", with foundations four
lect ttnet. ah tnesc wans were omit oi tue
best materials and by experienced mechanic.
The 'vhores'' or supports, to which your reporter
refers, on the south side, were meiely of a prt-
cautionary cna1 acier, sucn as every pruoeut
mcanamc would consider neccsary m a buuning
of this immense size (two hundred feet in
length), until the rafters were raised, and all
these supports have been removed since the
rafters were raided. All the brick walls in
the building are of great strength (nenrly a
million ot bricks haviug been used iu their
erection), and are perfectly perpendicular

wall, which is a mere prtitim wan. ana dub
neither floor nor roof to sustain. The whole
of this wall, at th time of its election, and
three-fourths of it at the present time,
is perfectly perpendiculnr ; out a small
portion of it, owing to unequal drjing and set
tling, has deviated five inctus Irom the penten

sidered unafe; but as the building committee
deemed to have tne puna ing wituout a oiemisn
of anv kind. tbev. of their own accord, sent lor
the Building Inspectors, and, after a careful and
critical examination, it was decided that Jthls
blight defect should be remeaiud as soon as
practicable. At Ihe same time the building in
spectors expresced their unqualified admiration
of the great btrength of the other parts of tho
building.
In conclusion, the committee having cnarge
of this building have no obiect in view but to
furnish the public with not only a very hand
some and commodious, but a perfectly safe hail
for their use ; and in doing this neither pains
nor expense shall be spared, as they feel quite
as much as their fellow-citizens can possibly do,
the great importance of having such a building
not only perfectly sale, but beyond suspicion.
We give below the written opinion of the archi
tect, Mr. Samuel Sloan, and now leave this
matter to a gtnerous public:
The whole building has been ftrranged and
constructed with a view of making it one of the
roost substantial of the kind erected; aud I
think and trust that my experience in such,
matters will assure the public that the building
can be relied on as perleetly safe in every par
ticuiar. DAM. MLOAN. ATCDlleCt.
