THE GOVERNMENTS CASH.
Extracts From the Annual Report of
Treasurer Morgan.
Movement of Gold Last Year the Larg-
est Ever KnOwn-AmOunt of Money
In Circulation.

The annual report Of United States Treas
urer Morgan shows the net ordinary rev.
enues of the government during the past
fiscal year were $685. ,Sl9.6 2S.1 49, showing an
increase of $50, SS1 .S44.54 over the year be-
fore. The net ordinary expenditures showed
an increase of $3S, 454, 623 81, thus making
a decrease in surplus revenues of $751;
1881 -
In seven months, beginning with last De-
cember, upward of $sl 600 600 was drawn
out OF the treasury in redemption Of notes.
and the gold reserve was reduced during the
same period by $50 coo 600. During the next
three months. with light redemptions and
a deficiency of sl9,OOO.OOO in the revenues.
the treasury lost s15,000,00o of gold. but the
reserve fell off only 100000.
Exports of Gold.
The amount of gold exported during the
fiscal year was the largest ever taken out
of the country or brought into 1t in any
like period being upward of Sos, SOC. 600
and it is noted that s102 0OO, 900 of it was
drawn out of the treasury by the presenta-
ton of legal-tender notes.
According to the revised estimates the
total stock of money of all kinds in the
country on June 80 was s2,323, 547.977, or
nearly $51,000,OOO less than at the same
time last year. This contraction took place
Notwithstanding the addition Of $45,5OO.OOO
to the stock of silver and an increase of
ST, COO in the outstanding bank notes,
and was caused, of course, by the exports
Of gold.
Money in Circulation.
The revised figures for the amount Of
money in circulation, that is, outside Of the
treasury, on June 80. place it at 81 500, S46,-
$40, or about 100000 less than 1t was a
year before. During the four months end
ing with October there was an increase Of
S125, 100000, a record altogether without
parallel in the history Of the country. The
aggregate of money in the hands of the
people and the average per capita were thus
brought to a higher figure than had ever be-
fore been reached.

FIRED THE JAIL.
Plot of Courtney and Taylor, Capt.
COoper's Wanderers, to Escape.

Arthur Courtney and Henry Taylor, the
murderers of Captain Frank Cooper, made
an unsuccessful attempt to escape from
prison at Princess Anne, Md, Saturday
night between II and l o'clock. Yesterday
morning Jalier Brereton was aroused from
his sleep by some one calling fire from the
upper floor of the jail, where the prisoners
are confined. Fastening out into the cor
ridor of the Jail he recognized the voice to
be that of Arthur Courtney, and upon in
vestigation found that smoke was passing
from the cell in which the murderers were
confined.
The fire was soon eXtinguished, the floor
of the cell having been damaged slightly.
An investigation was at once made to dis
cover the Implements, If any, with which
the prisoners had cut their chains. Court
ney finally admitted that they had cut them
in two with the blade of a case knife, which
had been notched like a saw by the use of
corset steel drawn across the blade. These
implements he finally produced having
them concealed in the hem of his shirt
The presumption is that it was the in
tenton of the murdererS to overpower the
taller as soon as their cell was opened and
make their escape. This is the second at
tempt on the part of Courtney and Taylor
within the past two months to make their
escape and the jailer will use every pre-
caution to see that no further ATTEMPT is
made between now and the 18th of Deem
Der. the time appointed for their execu-
ton.

FELL DEAD IN A GRAVE.
A Singular Tragedy I'm the Cemetery
at Beaver, Pa.

There was most singular occurrence at
the funeral of Mrs William Shell. in the
Beaver. Pa, cemetery yesterday. The grave
was dug Saturday by Walter w. Fish, her
stepfather. 1t was necessary, however for
Fish to go to it yesterday in advance of
the funeral to set the rough box in position
Just as the funeral procession arrived at
the cemetery, James Brotherton cur,ousiv
looked into the grave and saw Mr. Fish
lying in the rough box. Upon an inyestiga-
ton Ii was discovered that Fish was dead
Undertaken Reno, VINO was on the hearse
was notified. and kept the mourners in the
carriages in ignorance of what had oc-
Cured. Aided by the pail bearers, Fish's
remains We're removed from the grave and
taken away. The funeral then proceeded
without the wife or family knowing the
fathers fate. Upon their return home they
were apprised of the facts.
AT the coroner's inquest it was discoy-
erei that Fish's neck was broken The ac-
cepted theory is that Fish stumbled and
fell into the open grave, fracturing his
spinal column. MIR. Fish was sixty years
of age.

INTERNAL REVENUE.
Figures Taken From the Annual Re-
port of Commissioner Miller.

little volume of light literature, suit
able for family reading aloud, has just been
issued by the Treasury Department. 1t is
rot novel publication, for commissioners
of internal revenue have been getting them
out ever since there has been a tax on
whisky and tobactb. This years edition,
compiled by Commissioner Miller, contains
something like DO pages of figures, which
go to show that for a number of years past
the receipts from internal revenue have
run along a continuous upward sliding
scale, Notwithstanding that during the
period noted several reductions in rates
and remissions of taxation have been en-
acted. The receipts were sll6,OOO,0OO in
1856, Sl1S,OOO,GOO in 1887, sl24,OW,OOO in
1885, S130, 0OO 900 in 1889, Sl42, 600 900 in $780,
STAG, 100000 in 1881, Sl53, OOO,OOO in 1892 and
S161, 100000 in 1893
Assuming that the rates of taxation will
remain the same, the commissioner esti-
mates the probable revenue from internal
taxes for next year at S150, 0OO,0OO. This is
S15000,0O0 less than last years estimate and
s11.OOO,OOO less than the actual yield last
year. which was $16l,OO0,OO. There has
been a decrease of S5,5l9.oo0 in the first
three months of this fiscal year.

Harvard never went to battle so full of
surprising m3neuvers to spring on the
wearers of the blue as this year. But in
reality the contest was fought on very
simple principles Capt. Hinkey Of Yale
won the toss and chose the side with the
strong wind in his favor. He then in
structed Butterworth, the veteran full
back to kick the ball down the field when
ever he got the chance. The result was
that whenever Yale had a chance at the ball
it went sailing down the field before the
wind, and Harvard had to push it back by
the hardest kind of work. In doing this
they exhibited all their new tricks, and
though neither side scored in the first half
the Harvard men were weary with chasing
the ball down the field and pushing II back
again, and the Yale men had learned all
their opponents new tricks.
The second half opened with bold push
by the Yale men. The wind had gone down
so that Capt. Hinkey's men did not suffer
from that, though they had changed to the
other side. Yale dropped all article or at
