Error in Reyeaue Act.

What seems to be unother bad error
IN the Revenue Act has been discov-
cred. 1t prohibits. Treasurer Worth
thinks, the sale Of liquor by dispen-
ssry except upon physicians prescrIp-
ton. Section "A Of the Revenue Act
which imposes n license tax of per
cent on purchases Of liquor Dealers
in addition to tho ad vhlorem tax on
their stock and also an annual license
Tax Of $50 on druggists dealing in spir-
iuous liquors. vt the end of the Sec
ton tho following provisos are added:
provided, that this act shall not cu-
thorize any druggist to sell spirituous,
vluous or malt liquors except upon the
prescription Of practicing physician,
as now allowed by law; provided, in
towns with less than tive hundred in
hNbitants. and in towns where the sale
OF liquor IS prohibited by law, twenty
tivc dollars shall be the license: Pro
vided, that this section shall apply tc

thinks tho last proviso mistake. II
was evidently meant to apply to the
tax only. but it applies as we'll to the
provision except upon the prescription

Burning of the Andrews House.

NEW YORK, Special, Despite reti-
cence on tie part Of the police, facts
have become public which make it ap.
pcar that the fro which destroyed 13
persons was of incendiary origin. 1t
trans spired that few hours before the
flames were seen, Il policeman was sent
for from the Andrews house, and was
mysteriously dismissed by a servant.
VINO said that he was not wanted. Let
tiers threatening the lives Of the An
drews family aad the children of Mrs.
st. John were found. 1t is believed
that the motive for incendiarism was
revenge. aud that the affair rose out of
a quarrel between the servants. Foley,
the butler in the Andrews family. is
under surveillance. and the police
are hard at work investigating the
clues, which chiefly rest upon the
ANONYMOUS letters.
