1877, starting with 100 at that date.
The figure goes variably downward
until it reaches 62 in January, 1897,
the last number l have being 81 for
April. 1897.
THAT the various index numbers
clearly prove a general fall in prices
since 1877 there can be no reasonable
doubt, and everyone knows from COM
mon observation that real estate and
machinery have fallen in the same
proportion. The consequences OF
these conditions are depressing, as any
manufactures will testify who in 1877
had 800, 900 in property and owed
$50. 900, but who now finds himself
with only $50, 900 worth of property
and still owes $4,000. If, as Mr..
Baker claims, the fall in values has
been % per cent. in the last six years,
aud is still progressing, the baueful
effect upon merchants is understood
by all thoughtful persons.
The fall in silver will not lessen
the present or prospective woes from
monometallIsm. 1t only points the NOR
al of characterization. The gold price
of silver falls, and so falls the prices
of all other commodities. Such fall
in the prices of the necessaries of life
is beneficial if it comes from natural
causes, but is injurious, according to
all political economists, if it results
from the cancellation or destruction of
the money of the world, which is the
measure of values. If this is wrong
and society has been progressing for
90 years. it will be wise for the free
citizens of America. who can accom-
Dlish results by votes, TO begin the in
quiry anew (now that the tariff ques-
ton passes out of sight for a time).
whether the work of remedying the
wrong ought not soon to begin. This
question is not to be answered alone
by the money lenders and the persons
of fixed incomes. All classes in the
community will study it and will reach
and act upon their conclusions. I
should be glad if 1 could think the
question had disappeared for the reas-
on that silver has gone down in price
everywhere because demonetized, and
wheat has gone up everywhere be-
cause of a shortage of crops in various
countries. But Is the question really

NATIONAL sK TYING CHAMPION.
F.. Reynolds Wins the One Mile Champion
 ship of the United States.

New York, Jan. 26.-The annual speed skating championships of the Ma tional Amateur Skating association of America, postponed from Stamford last week owing to the thaw, were resumed this afternoon at Silver Lake, s. I. The ice was in splendid condition and a. good track of five laps to the mile was cleared off. The management was ex- cellent. and the local committee spared no pains to put the track in condition. A big crowd witnessed the principal event, which was the final heat of the one mile championship of the United States. After three preliminary heats had been decided the following quali- fled: B. Mcfarland of verpalncke. N. Y; F. Reynolds of Chicago, T. Cooney of Cornwall-on- the Hudson, S. O'Brien of New York A. Y. Morgan of New York and G. w. Boock of Tarrytown, N. Y
 The six named got away on even terms, but after they had settled down McPartland rushed to the front fol- lowed by Reynolds and Morgan, with Cooney close up. This order was main tained entering the third into the straight at the finish. Here Mozart land went wild and Reynolds coming up with rush on the inside got in front of the Verplancke man and won by eight yards.
 Mcfarland beat Morgan four yards, the latter just beating Cooney by a foot McPartland's defeat was a bit of a surprise and the Chicago mans championship was looked upon as be- ing rather lucky. Reynolds was pro- tested by Morgan on the grounds of professionalism. The protest will be decided later. Mcfarland won the mile handicap from scratch in easy style He went the handicap mile in 10 2-5 seconds better time than Rey holds did the championship. The quar- ter mile and five miles championships will be decided tomorrow.
 Summary: One mile championship of the United States, final heat won by F. Reynolds of Chicago, H., B. Me- Partland of vTerplancke, N. r., second, A. Y Morgan of New York, third. Time, minutes, 561s seconds.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN CHICAGO
 LAST EYENlNG.

Three of the Victims Will Probably Dice
 Property Loss Estimated at $3sO,OOO-
 Fire was in the Wholesale Destrict--
 There Were Forty-Five Fires in the City
 During Yesterday.
 Chicago, Jan. 26.-During a destruc- tive fire last night in the six story structure, l96 19S. 200 and POP Monroe street, occupied exclusively by whole sale firms, ten persons were seriously injured, seven of whom were fremen. Three will probably die. The injured are:
 Jere O'Rourke, fireman, both legs broken and breast crushed, will die; William J. Workman, fireman back in- Jured and hip crushed, may die; Sher- man Quinlan, fireman, internally in- Jured and spine hurt, may die; Jerry Edcroft, fireman. legs seriously crush ed; Patrick Patterson, fireman, struck by falling walls, internally injured and ankle crushed, will recover; Andrew Geoghan, fireman, fell from fire es- cape, left ankle broken; John Watson, struck on the shoulder and badly hurt; Fire Captain Harker was burned about the hands, face and shoulders
 The structure with it's contents was almost entirely destroyed. The loss is estimated at $3S0,000.
 The building. which is the property of w. M. Williams, is damaged to the extent of $150000 The other losses are distributed as follows:
 Wurzberger Brothers, wholesale deal CTS in woolens and underwear; J. H. Foster X Sons trimmings and woolens; Townsend & Yale, dealers in ladies' jackets; The Continent Shoe Co.,; Piclkwick Clothing Co.,, A. M. Stewart & Co.,, clothing and dry goods; the National Rubber Co.,, the Eureka Silk Co.
 The stocks of these firms are entirely lost. All the losses are covered. The fire originated on the first floor of the building, which is occupied by the WurZberger Brothers. The upper two stories of the west wall fell upon the adjoining building, which is but four stories high. From the roof of this structure two fire companies were di- recting streams of water into the building, and several of the firemen were buried under the debris. They were carried from the roof in an un- conscious condition to the hospitals. Some of the spectators were slightly injured by falling particles but only three seriously enough to require re- moval home in ambulances.
 There were about fortyfive fires in Chicago to-day, but many of them were extingHished with small loss.

PERSONAL THEOLOGY.
Lecture to Divinity Students by Professor
 Clark.

Clark.
 Rev Professor Clark of Colgate col lege, well known as writer and theo- logian, addressed an audience of divin- ity students in Marquand chapel last evening.
 Speaking on the subject Personal Theology" he said that part of per sons theology is hereditary, being born With him; another portion is received by the child mind from it's early en- vironment before it is able to think for itself, and still another portion is re- ceived from the experiences of the in- dividual life This latter portion mod files the early theology. taking away and correcting the earlier theological ideas.
 Happy is the man whose hereditary theology contains the fundamental principles of that which he gets from experience. This theology of experi- ence, starting from God as a center, extends through all the life of the be- ing, both here and in eternity.
 Seeing thus that each mans theology is the product of his individual experi- ence to large extent, men ought to be more charitable in allowing to other men theological views differing from their own, considering that their expe- rience may have brought them farther or not, so far as their own has done.
 There is basis for the unity of all theolosies in the common center of them all, the belief in God"

DUE TO A BROKEN RAIL.
THE CANADIAN PACIFIC ExPRESs WREcKEDNEAR MONoKTON, N. R.

Two Persons Killed and Score More ar Less Injured-Train Crashed Over an Embankment on to the Ice of :, pnnd
 seventy-five Feet Below--Intense Cold Adds to the Sufferings of the Victims.
 Monckton, N. B., Jan. 26.-Palmer's Fond was this afternoon the scene os the most disastrous railway wreck witnessed in this province for some years. The Canadian Pacific express. running over the Intercolonial tracks. que at Monckton at p. m., arrived at Dorchester. little behind time. and when turning the bend at Palmer's Fond the train broke away from tho engine, presumably owing to a broken rail, and dashed over a seventy-fiye- foot embankment to the Ice in the pond below.
 The engine on breaking away from the cars kept it's course and was brought through to Dorchester station. where the news was first made known. and wrecking train was hurriedly sent to the scene.
 Meanwhile those who had survived ~->> -SsSA 'Nt PAuAASC pCAl tu6lllSGlv6S to the task of rescuing the more unfor- tunate. The intense cold added to the horrors of the situation When the wreclSing train arrived at the wreck the United Associated Presses report CT who was on board found two of the occupants of the train dead and nearly score more or less injured. They had been taken out of the wrecked coaches and laid upon the snow on the bank of the pond. One of the dead was Miss Patriqu1n, dressmaker of Bloomfield, Kings county, N. B., who was taken from the coach in which she went down to her death in an almost unrecogniza- ble condition. The other was Postal Clerk Edgecombe of St. John, N. B. The injured were rescued from the upA turned cars through the windows. 1 Those most seriously injured are: l Hon. Dr. Borden, Dominion minister of militia, cut about the head; Henry Mcleod of Pictou. N. s, back injured; Mr. Barney of Amherst, N. s., cut about the face; Rupert Neil of Vest ville, N. S., face cut; Edward Blanch of Amherst, N. s.; B. J. Touler, Am herst; T. W. Wallace, Montreal; R. R. Wallace, Halifax, N. S., and his broth- CT; George P, Barrin, Halifax; Charles Thompson, brakeman.
 The dead and injured were placed on board the wrecked train and brought to this city. The wrecking coaches were seven in number, and all lie smashed to splinters in the ice of the pond. Six rails were torn up and the: track was badly. damaged. Traffic will hardly be resumed. before to-mor- TOW.
 1 pr. Borden will be sent through to Ottawa on special car. Yesterday morning he went to Canning N. S, to / look after an accident to a dyke on his property, and while there received a telegram from Ottawa saying that his wife was i'll. He was on his way to ] her bedside when the accident befel { him. Just before leaving Canning he received news of the loss of one of his schooners, the Harold Borden, on the Maine coast. Dr. Borden, besides the cut on his head, is injured about the back, but how seriously cannot be stated as yet.
