TELEGRAPHIC SUMMARY. /.

Gold closed in New York yesterday
at ll05.
The petition in bankruptcy Of James
NJ. Turner, Dayton, O., was filed in
Cincinnati yesterday.
One of the paper mills Of Thos. Rice,
Jr., at Newton Falls, Massachusetts,,
was burned on Sunday. The loss is es-
timated at $4,000.
There was q fire in Painesville, Ohio,
early yesterday morning, that destroyed
about ten thousand dollars worth ofpro-
perty, mostly insured.
As to-day is the day fixed upon BY
the Grand Council Of the Working
mems Benevolent Association for the
suspension of mining operations in the
Schuylkill regions, the indications are
that there will be a general strike
throughout the neighborhood. The
strike will probably continue for an in.
definite period, as the miners express a
determination to hold out as long as
possible.
At O meeting Of the creditors Of
Oakes, Ames & Co., at Boston, yester-
day, the committee previously appoint
el to examine the affairs reported that
the assets exceeded the Indebtedness
over 100000, and recommended an ex-
tension Of 6, II, Is and "A months, the
creditors to receive per cent interest,
which extension the committee believe
will assure the payment of every dollar,
principal and interest. The report was
accepted.
The report Of the special commission
on penal and reformatory institutions of
Michigan treats these subjects at some
length and in an able manner. The
report strongly condemns the manage
ment OF jails, poor houses and county
insane asylums, and recommends there
abolition and the erection of district
prisons, another insane asylum, a
school for the feeble and idiots, home
for panper children, workhouse for
>agrants and dissolute paupers, hos
pital for diseased and aged paupers
and various other important recon-
mendations.

WASHINGTON.
The Bill AbOlishing the Income
Tax.

The Bill Abolishing the Income
Tax.
WASHINGTON, January 9.-Although
efforts will be made by Mr.. Kellogg and
others to again bring before the House
the bill abolishing the income tax, there
is no question but the House will refuse
TO repeal that portion of the law. When
the call Of States is made, the bill
will then be presented again for direct
vote, but this the House will avoid, as
it has done before, members preferring
not to put themselves upon record on
this question. The Ways and Means
committee are about equally divided
on the question of repeal, but the SEN
ate Finance committee is largely in
favor of continuing the law. Several
bills are before the latter committee,
but no action upon them will be taken,
as the Senate is undoubtedly against
repeal.
Senator Sherman claims that if this
TAX is taken off some other tax will
have to be imposed in order to realize
sufficient revenue for current neces-
sites.
The Released Fenians.
When the intelligence was received
here that the British Government had
discharged the Irish-American prisoners
the Secretary Of State telegraphed to
the American Representative, in Lon
don, to furnish them frst-class passage
10 the United States. The British Gov
crnment then volunteered to give them
second-class passage TO this country
but they very naturally preferred to &C
cept the offer Of the United States. A
dispatch from the American Legation
in London, was received at the State De,
partment, yesterday, stating that John
Mcclure, Underwood, OConnell and
UHonovon Roosa, had sailed in the
steamship Cuba, yesterday, for New
York. Col W. g. Halpine and others
refused the conditional pardon.
Thomas F. Burke has not been dis,
charged. Mcclure had been sentenced
10 death, but the sentenced was commu'
ted to penal servitude for life; OCon'
nell to ten years penal servtude; Roosa
TO penal servitude for life; Halpine to
fifteen years penal servitude, while
Burke had been sentenced to death and
made ready for execution when his SEN
tence was also commuted to imprison-
ment for life.

Exuberant Health

Is a blessing vOuchsaied to few. Even those
who have been favored by nature with strong
constitutions and vigorous frames are apt to
neglect the precautions necessary to preserve
these precious cndowmcnts. Indeed, rs n
rule, tho mUre healthy and robust a man is,
tho moro liberties he is inclined to take with
his own physique. 1t is some consolation to
the naturally weak aud feeble to know that
they can be- SO inyigOra,cd and built up, by a
proper use Of the means which science has
placed ut their disposal, as to have much bet
ter chance Of long life, and exemptions FROM
disease aud pain, that the most athletic Of
their fellows WIN are foolish enough to sup>
pose themselves invulnerabIc, and act accord>
