FIFTEEN BUILDINGS DESTROYED, WITH
 S100, ,000 LOSS.
 MONTGOMERY, Dec. 12.-A special 10 the Advertiser from Evergreen, Ala, says that fire broke out tonight at o'clock in the Racket Store and has swept almost the en- tire part of the town west of the railroad. The fifteen buildings burned at this hour are:
 The Racket store, J. M. Henderson, 1. Long & Son, J. c. Guice, J. w. Crook, postoffice, Evergreen hotel, c. T. Tslia- fero, c. P. Deming, J. A. McCreary, Irwin livery stable, L. Finch, R. R. Martin, Mrs. B. A. Linde, and the buildings occu- pied by F. L. Hickox and ]. NJ. Sims will also go.
 The loss will approximate S10O ,000, with perhaps about S25 GOO insurance. The street on both sides the railroad is strewn with goods of every description, and the greatest confusion prevails.
 At Il o'clock the fire was checked at the McCreary building, and all the buildings west of that were saved.

A Crucial Moment.

She gazed drearily into the lonely street, where the evening lights were beginning to twinkle through the rain, and throughout her whole being was consciousness that crisis had arrived. It was one of the tragic moments in life when all ones resources are needed to bear up under some great shock. For days she had been dreading this blow, and now it had fallen. At last she arose and, turning from the street with sob of agony, thrust her feverish hand into her bosom. In moment she tore 1t forth again, and with one last despairing shrielz sank fainting on to the fauteuil. She had at last pulled off the porous plaster. Florence E. Pratt, in Judge.

CARLISLE AND THE COMMITTEE.

CARLISLE AND THE COMMITTEE.
 The members of the Banking and Cur rency Committee of the House seemed in doubt as to several features of Secretary Carlise's plan, but his explanations were lucid and he was candid in admitting the object of his plan. One of the members of the committee tried to make it appear that MT. Carlisle was advocating a proposition which would discriminate in favor of State banks as against National banks, by giving the former the right to issue notes less than S10, and prohi biting the latter from so doing. Mir. Carlisle stated that he had said nothing to justify such assumption.
 Mir. Carlisle said he was satisfied that the present law requiring the deposit of bonds to secure circulation prevented the elastic ity of the currency. The want of elasticity in the currency was clearly shown during the depression of 1893. The National banks were not permitted to issue notes to the full face value of United States bonds although such a course would have been perfectly safe, and would nave increased the circulating medium over S2O, cen 000 Instead, the banks were forced to the doubtful expedient of issuing clearing house certificates.
 When asked to explain the difference be- tween his plan and the Baltimore plan the Secretary said that his plan relieved the government of all connection with the banking system, except to furnish the notes and hold a safety fund, while the Baltimore plan requires the government to keep the safety fund intact and guara D tee the notes. Many able financiers think the Baltimore plan superior in this respect, for the people generally will feel more confi- dence in the currency if the government is behind 1t. The main thing in a banking system is to main tain the con fidence of de- positors. If depositors feel no confidence in bank they will keep their money in old stockings. Il is absolutely necessary to bank that issues no circulating notes to have deposits. It does business on it's deposits, not on it's capital. Another good feature is possessed by the Baltimore plan tn at Carlisle's plan ignores, namely, it provides for emergency issues subject to a tax high enough to insure their withdrawal upon the passing of the emergency. This gives needed elasticity to the currency, so that it can conform to increased or de- creased demand. It is doubtful if the banks would adopt Carlisle's plan without amendment. Still another feature of the Baltimore plan meets with favor, namely, it provides for only one kind of currency that is State banks can come into the plau on the same terms with National banks and receive similar notes. Carlisle's plan contempates distinct kinds of notes for National and State banks.

Not To-Day.

An English lady, travelling in New Zealand, waxes enthusiastic over the beauties of the country, especially in it's mountainous parts She tells 8 funny little story about the sharp witted driver of the public coach in which she made some of her expedi- tions. At one point where the steep road overhangs the river, Davis, the driver, always took the opportunity to tighten the load for his horses "Gen- tlemen," he would say in an insinuat- ing tone, "the prince of Wales always gets out and walks here" It is to be presumed that he had usually found his fares" quite ready to follow in the footsteps of so distinguished prede- cessor, but one day man, who had already heard the speech more than once, stole march upon the willy Davis. The ground was wet, and the passenger was not in mood for climb ing; so as they approached the spot, he anticipated the drivers hint by re- marking: Davis, the prince of Wales isn't going to walk to-day.

THE reduced freight rate on Louisiana products from New Orleans to Birmingham will very largely increase the jobbing trade of Birmingham. Under the old rate Nash- vile had the advantage of 40 cents barrel on sugar, and she encroached on Birming- hams territory. She could sell sugar for the same price as Birmingham and make 40 cents barrel more. And Montgomery also had more advantageous rate. So Bir- ming ham was between two fires. But now she is on an equal footing and will ask no quarter. There was another injustice un- der the old rate: It gave no differential on car load lots. This put the jobbers on the same footing with retailers. Now the rate for sugar is 15 cents 100 pounds per car load, and IS cents 100 pounds in less than car loads. The new rate is more just and equitable in every way.

 THE State papers, almost without excep- ton, indorse the plan of working the con- victs on the University lands. It is not open to any reasonable objection, and pos sesses many advantages in it's favor. The Huntsville Daily Argus says:
 It may not be generally known, but some of these coal lands belonging to the University of Alabama, donated and selected for the ex- elusive benefit of this grand institution, are as rich in coal as any in the State. They are of great value. The Argus thinks the suggestion of the Governor an excellent one, and proba- bly the best solution of the question that can be found. All, or nearly all, of these lands lay where they would not bring the conyicts opcr- ating them in immediate contact with any inl- portant locality in the State.
 THE address by Col. John NJ. Martin to the called meeting of the Commercial Club tonight will be of interest to every citizen of Birmingham, and of particular interest to every business man. Colonel Martin will make several valuable suggestions to meet existing exigencies. He is an elo- quent speaker and thoroughly alive to the interests of Birmin gham.
