The receipts from internal revenue
for this month aggregate SIG 1864 ,53I
as against $s,917,9l5 during the same
period last year This almost unprece-
dented increase is no doubt due to the
expectation that in the peuiing tariff
bill the tax on spirits will be materially
increased. At this time it is estimated
there are in bond about 100, 900, 600
EIllons of all kinds of spirits, of which
about 116, 900. 900 gallons are "bever-
age" liquors and 1000, 600 gallons of
high wines aud other liquors largely con-
trolled by the trust. Ofthe entire quantity
ofspirits in bond it is believed that fully
one half is really owned by persons other
than the original distillers, large per
cent of them being dealers and saloon
keepers The receipts from customs for
the first half of the present month
amounted to S3,535, 900, which is a
decrease of more than so per cent, from
the receipts during the same period last
year. For the first time in many months
the receipts Of the government are now
exceeding the expenditures, the excess
SO far this month being over 81, 500, 600.

FIRE.-A fire was discovered shortly

in a short time it had the fire under
control. The damage was compare
lively slight, and is covered by insur-
ance, there being a policy of $500 on
the building and $3.50 on the contents,
which consisted of material, mattresses
and some furniture. The building is
the one which many years ago was
used by the old Brooke Lodge of Me-
sons. The two small brick houses adj
joining on the north were slightly dam
aged while the fire was raging.
