A fearful fire about $50 o'clock
last evening wiped out the stable
and carriage house of John Raw
ley on South Main Street burn
ing his driving horse, carriage
and stable. The loss will figure
$400 for more. Just how the fire
occurred may never be known.
Mr.: Rawley had just gone to his
house to get his supper when he
heard the alarm of fire. Rushing
out of the kitchen he found the
stable ablaze. His first thought
was his horse and he made a dash
to liberate it, but the fire had
gained such headway he couldn't
enter the door and there was
nothing to do but watch the build
ing and contents burn.
Residents of this vicinity are
arguing with considerable vehem-
ence against the carelessness and
total disregard for passing teams
with which automobiles are driven
UP and down the state road by
city sports. Sunday three men
in a big yellow automobile ran
down horse and carriage near
Middletown and threw a colored
man, woman and two children
from the carriage into the road
way and injuring them.
William ]. Carrow, son of Mrs.
Harriet Carrow of this town, died
at three o'clock at the Philadel-
phia Hospital, Philadelphia, from
double pneumonia after a short
illness. Two weeks previous he
was in Smyrna where he had been
for several weeks building up inn
paired health. Surviving is a

ASTRONOMY NOTES
By OLAF HALVERSON

The orbit of Venus is tipped
slightly from the plane of the
earth's orbit. On very rare occa-
sions the planet passes directly in
front of the sun. Such a passage
is called a transit. These transitS
occur in pairs. Two transits are
eight years apart and successive
pairs are separated by 1872 years.
The last transit occurred Dec.
9, 1874 and Dec. 9Th, 1882. They
will not occur again until June 8,
2004, and June 6, 2012.
When passing before the face
of the sun, Venus has the appear
ance of round, black spot sur
rounded by an Illuminated ring of
atmosphere. The spectroscope has
shown that this atmosphere is
similar to that of the earth, per-
haps more dense and having less
water Vapor and oxygen.
Venus is still the brightest ce-
lestial object in our southwestern
evening sky.

Liquor Sales
Reverse 7 rend

NEW YORK. Jan. 4 R.-
There was more cheer in the
liquor industry last year as sales
turned up, reversing a down.
trend that marked 1854.
1t was estimated in the trade
that around 200 million gallons
of liquor were consumed in 1855,
compared with 1895 million gal
Ions the year before. The total
in 1853 was l94.5 million.
Nevertheless, the industry has
a long way to 60 before 1t can
claim to have participated fully
in the tremendous surge of the
economy as a whole. Consump-
ton in 1855 will total about 1.22
gallons per capita. That's II
per cent lower than the LAP
gallons per capita consumed in
1912.
But if the hard liquor indus
try has had its problems, vint-
.ners have seen their sales head
consistently higher. Distillers
noted that the return to straight

NEW YORK. Jan. 4 R.-As-
sets of mutual savings banks
topped $3l billion in 1855 for the
FIRST time in the l40-year history
of these institutions. says Charles
r.. Diebold, president Of the Ma
rional Association Of Mutual
Savings Banks.
THE past year has witnessed
a deposit gain of 81 billion OF
seven per cent to reach $2S bill
lion on December 81" Mr.. Die
bold said. During 1855, deposit
gains were approximately the
same as those Of 1883 and were
slightly below the increase Of
nearly 50 billion in 1854, which
was the largest increase since the
wartime peak reached in l945."
Mr.. Diehold, who also heads
the Western Savings Bank Of
Buffalo, N. Y, noted that the
current tendency on the part of
the public to spend more Of its
enlarged income is reflected
in the lesser proportion Of in

The something new that has
been added to mechaniZation is
a built-in electronic ability OF
machines to inspect their work
