"a Serious ConilagratIon.

PERRYsvLLE, Jan. S.-This village
was visited by most disastrous con-
Aagration yesterday morning at l
o'clock and burned with such fierce
ness that it was thought the entire
town was doomed. Wooster, Loudon-
vile, Shreve and Mansfield were ap-
pealed to for aid, but about the time
the Wooster firemen were ready to
start word was received that the fire
was under control. Eight business
places, including the leading stores
and post office, were consumed. The
loss is estimated at $4,000.

THE INCOME TAX.
It VIII Probably be Killed Owing to For
midable Opposition.

II VIII Probably be Killed Owing to For
midable Opposition.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The formidable
opposition to the income tax which has
developed in congress, it is understood,
finds partial encouragement and sup
port Ill administration circles The
fight, as already stated, centers around
the paragraph in the urgent deficiency
bill making appropriation to carry the
law into effect. If the proposition can
be defeated this will, of course, kill the
income tax by the congressional method
known as starving it to DEATH"
That the total revenue of the gov
ernment may not be reduced from
Secretary Carlisle's estimates of the
treasury needs, it is proposed to raise
revenue in lieu of the income tax from
two sources, viz: to increase the tax
on beer and to revive the tax Of two
cents on each bank check presented for
payment
From these two sources, it is said,
more revenue than is expected from
the income tax can be derived and with
far less friction. 1t is acknowledged
that the increased tax on beer can be
collected at no extra cost by the pres
ent force of internal revenue officers.
The bank check tax practically collects
itself.
When the new tariff bill was in course
of preparation the question of increas
ing the beer tax was discussed by the
democratic members of the ways anc
means committee of the house, but
dropped because it was considered
bad politics" at that time to increase
that tax. The same reasons, it is said
do not now obtain.

TRADE REVIEW.

4. q. Dun q Co.'S Weekly Report OF tne
Condition OF Buslness-Prices OF Conn
IAodities the Lowest Ever KnOwn-Fah-
urOs for the Year.
New YORK, Jan. 5.-R- G. Dun q Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade says: Failures
for 1894 are fully reported this week,
being 1S, 1856 in the United States and
1856 in the Dominion OF Canada. Liza
bilities in the United States were $l72,-
992, s56 and in Canada $17,6l5,2lS' !.
Neither the decrease OF over half in
this country, nor the increase OF over
40 per cent. in Canada, is surprising,
but the statement shows that most OF
the decrease in the United States is in
manufacturing liabilities while the en-.
tire increase in Canada is liabilities OF
trading concerns.
A few states, including New York
and Pennsylvania, show more failures
than in 1898, and in few southern
states the amount of liabilities is larg-
er, but in central and western states
very much smaller In eleven OF the
last thirty-eight years, reported liabil-
tiles have been larger than in 1894
though for this year and 1893 the state
ment is confined to commercial fall
ures, as it was not in former years.
The complete review of different
branches of business places in clear
light the fact that prices of commodl-
ties are at the lowest level ever known.
Eight years ago in July prices averaged
only 1850 per cent. of the prices for the
same articles and in the same markets,
January ], 1860, and this remained the
lowest point ever touched until August
10, 1898, when the average fell to 72.76,
but early this year prices dropped be-
lowed all previous records and have
never recovered.
The fall since a year ago has been 5H
per cent, but very unequal in different
branches. In iron and steel products
IA per cent, in wool 1874 per cent, In
woolens and cottonS about Is per cent.
These changes contrast sharply with
the decline of wages paid per hours
work, which, as was shown last week,
average only q per cent. less than a
year ago. The volume of business rep
resented by exchanges at the principal
clearing houses was $156, 450 600 daily
in December against $141, GOA, 600 in jan
uary.
The exports of 4,45O,0Oo gold this
week are not because of merchandise
movement, for the excess of exports
over imports of merchandise has been
from twenty to seventy millions per
month. Unquestionably large with
drawals of foreign capital, through
sales of securities and otherwise, have
caused the outgo, the duration and ex-
tent IF which therefore depends upon
other than commercial elements Ex'
traordinary abundance of money has
resulted from the general dullness OF
| trade and the movement to this center
has been unprecedented in volume.
The condition of industries has been
largely governed by the falling prices
and while production is much greater
than year ago, the aggregate increase
, being fairly measured by the increase
, of 8. "a per cent. in hours of work done
: in November, compared with the previ
, GUS year, it has been the controlling
, feature in almost every Important in
dustry that consumption has not KEEP
pace with the output and has not sus

cured pension of 500 month, which
he has been drawing for over quarter
Of century. County Surveyor W. F..

She struck the Haggett amidships and
broke her main rail. The Wentworth
cleaned out all her head gear and broke
