The prospective custom ers were referred to the Continental Bank of St Louis, Weise, Neville & Co., of Sioux city, and Bradstreet's Mercantile agency and all the express companies of St Louis, Mo. The bait was a uniform scale of price ranging from 10 to 20 per cent higher than those paid by reputable com mission houses. Remittances by draft on the day of arrival of the produce were assured. A small trial shipment was first made by the shipper who would promply receive a draft Thus deceived he would send in everything marketable that he could pick up in his vicinity, this extra price being an incentive for doing an extra business. That would be the last he would hear from his consignment There is a stock of complaints at police head quarters, and the pair are believed to be S50,000 ahead on the scheme. THE IDEA!

The coroner this morning began the inquest into the death of Billy Brennan, who was killed in a sparring "match with Frank Orardard on Thursday night. County physician Hektoen made a statement that by a post mortem examination he learned that death resulted from hemorrhage of the lungs. The doctor's opinion as to the latter cause of his death came as a surprise to those in terested. It appears that Brennan was pounded so terribly on the chest that his lungs commenced bleeding prob ably during the last round, when both sparrers seemed so groggy. A number of reporters and other exports who were present testi fied that the fight was not a vicious one, and that they had witnessed many harder ones without harm com ing to tho principals. Tho jury re turned a verdict that Brennan met his death by an accidental fall. Garard and the other prisoners will now bo released. Mayor Cregier has announced that hereafter no boxing matches will be allowed in this city. THE EMPIRE CITY. Increase in Value of Real Estate. Special to The astorias.J New York, July 5.
