Whj.iam L. Stkono was inducted to to the otlic-e of mayor of New York on Tuesday. The ceremonies attending the incoming of the new administration were without incident. "Tom 1'i.att," the Republican boss of New York, found Dr. l'arkhurst too "hot" a pastor, so he now attends the Marble collegiate church, of which Rev. David James Burrell is pastor. There will be a good many old snakes warmed into life in Pennsylvania long before the first peals of thunder are heard in the spring. Their glittering heads and slimy trails will le seen at Harrisburg as soon as Roliert K. Pattison is no longer there to scotch them. Mr. (uay's legislature assembled on New Year's dav. i-esatok Fi.ixn, of Allegheny county, w ill present to the legislature the draft of a new road law. In substance, it pro vides that "the county commissioners shall take charge of the public roads of the county, with a system of court hear ings and viewers for the improvement of roads by piving and macadamizing similar to that in force in cities." It is not pleasant news to hear that 2,tHKJ,0t0 loxes of the Florida orange crop have been destroyed by the recent cold sjk.11. Oranges have leen oue of the most desirable of fruits and they have been sold at a price which placed them within the reach of the masses, but in view of this disaster, we will have to pay much more or go without. Dl-rinu the year 184 there has been a general shrinkage in the value of agri cultural products of fully per cent. Cotton has fallen nearly ") -r cent, and wheat about 12. t orn and rice, owiug to short crops, have shown an increase, that of corn amounting to 10 per cent, and rice A a cent a pound. It is no wonder business of all kinds has been tiepressed, with the purchasing power of the agricultural population reduced by one quarter from the preceding year. The times are getting better, says the Harrisburg Patriot, and have been im proving most of the year past, not only since election as has been pretended. The indications are that the improve ment will continue until commerce and industry take a letter tone than they now have. - The commercial failures for 1S'.4 were aliout 14,'.H with liabilities aggrega ting 1o7,HK).OoO. as compared with 1"),242 failures and liabilities aggri-ga. ling 340,774. St'J in 1;'.':S. While the failures are within a few hundred as many a in IS.3 the average liabilities for each failure in 1S',4 was only 11, 400; in lS'.'o the average liability was 22,700, or twice that of 18'."4. The volume of business represented by clear inghouse exchanges last year was 77 per cent, larger than in 1.V.K5, and the earn ings of all railroads reporting in Decern Iter were -.'.. per cent, greater than in 18l3. In the industries, as affecting labor, the improvement is just as noticeable. From a iiuinlier of industries, which are representative of all and indicative of the conditions in all, Dun A; Co. obtain this authentic information : Hands em ployed, 1S3, 125,0'.;t; 1S-.I4, 131,072. Wages paid, 18!'3, $3,;20,728;1S11 $4, 201,210. Hours at work, 1S'.3, 27, 110.5W; lS.t4, 31,S:il,834. As com pared with l.s'.iS, in 1;4 total wage pay ments increased 10,33 per cent, number of hands incr -ased 8.53, the hours er hand increased S.24 and wages jx-r hand increased G..l. Dun v. Co., estimate that there are now employed not less than 330, (KM) hands more than a year ago, that the amount distributed in wages has increased $lf2,000,(HM) and that the value of product is greater by $1,254,IHX),(HK. This is an excellent showing, all the more so that it has leen made without the "intluence of the recent election" or any other circumstances except na tural recovery from the Republican pan ic, aided by the certainty of no more overestimation of industry by conces sions to tariff beneficiaries. j-Iiiiitliiii Letter.

While President Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle, as well as Chair man Springer, who is in charge of the currency bill, hojie and Itelieve that the bill will pass Ujc hou-e in s.me hape, neither of them would attempt to posi tively say that the house would or would not pass it, although these irresponsible scribblers do so daily. As a matter of fact, no man living is in a position to state with a reasonable would not have orrutors so luckily degree of certainty what will le the fate of the currency bill, and all attempts If Spain persists in making the duty upon Canadian Hour shipped to Cuba 75 cents a barrel less than the amount charged upon Hour shipped from the United States, she may wake up some line morning and find herself reading a proclamation issued by President Cleveland that will shut Cuban sugai out of the United States markets. There is no doubt about the President having ample authority for this retaliation, and little that he will exercise it, if the Span ish government refuses to favorably re spond to the representations which Min ister Taylor has been directed by Secre tary Crcsham tomakeon the subject. The Committee on Agriculture gave a bearing the other day to a long-winded California Granger who advocates a 10 r cent, duty on the exportsof farm produce. The- prices of the agricultural commodities of export being fixed by the prices at w hich other producers are will ing to sell in foreign markets, any ex port duty levied would come out of the Iockets of the farmers. But why should the committee on agriculture waste its time, and the public money, in listening to the advocacy of a proposition which is forbidded by the constitution? One of the things congress cannot do is to levy a tax or duty on articles exported from any state. Sometimes Wall street itself, and this appears to le the case a? to the syndicate of capitalists who took the recent loan. It is supposed, in or der to force another loan for bond issues are very profitable on Wall street since December 3 there has leen drawn out of the trersury $24,000,000 of the gold obtained by the bond issue for 50, tW.000; but of this only about '.,(0. 000 has teen shipped abroad, and the other 14,000,000 has heen simply called back into the vaults of the banks. Mark the result. J5y withdrawing the gold for which they have no use they threatened the market with another bond issue, and with the piospect of an exces sive supply the price of bonds has de clined until the disbanded syndicate finds itself loaded with a heavy holding of bonds which its late members cannot sell at a profit. They are blaming Sec retary Carlisle for the fall in bonds, but the fact is the capitalists were caught in their own trap, in their eagerness to re peat a profitable bond orperation Un spoiled the market for the bonds they hold and lost the profit on the transac tion already made. Instead of the sec retary, their own greed is to blame. W hile the cold wave has leen attend ed with deplorable consequences in vari ous sections ot the country, the fact is to le noted that its effects have not been altogether untoward. The accompany ing snow falls have made work for thousands of men in the logging dis tricts, while the increased consumption of coal will provide work for miners in this and in other states. Aside from these considerations is the fact that brac ing weather always exerts a tonic intlu ence on general business as it should likewise do on the sympathies of all who out of their abundance can spare a little something for the shivering poor at this inclement season. 1-iu.roR must not be furnished on Sundays in private clubs maintaining a bar or sideboard, according to Judge McClung, of Allegheny. If a man has his private bottle stored away in the cup board, or some other convenient place, he may invite a friend to take a "nip." But no liquor must be ordered on Sun day to be paid for in a club any more than in a saloon. That practice is sup posed to prevail very generally, and there would not le so many clute if it did not. They are held to 1 a great ir rigative convenience when the town goes dry under the Iirooks law on Sunday. But as clubs are conducted on confiden t ial principles, tangible proof of the vio lation of the law is difficult to obtain. There is much talk about three men as candidates for the Republican nomi nation for the 'Presidency next year. Ex-President Harrison, Governor Mc Kinley and Thomas Brackelt Reed are kept by their friends well at the front. There is danger in too much promi nence. The probabilities are that the favorites will kill each other's chances in the convention, and that the nomination will go to a compromise candidate. Of all the men in the back ground Itoliert Todd Lincoln would seem to be the most available. He has behind him the great name of his father; and this counts for much. It must also be said of him that he has borne himself with great credit and capability In the responsibil pe iublic jiGfcitioi which he has filled. Auoit every soft coal section in the state, says the Philanelphia 77is, is having its tnrn at wage reduction, the latest being Tioga county, where the miners have decided to strike. This is unfortunate, and especially so in view of the fact that these were the miners warned before election day against the terrible effects of supporting tariff re form and ignoring protection. The miners listened to the political voice in the wilderness and voted nearly solid to retain the government tariff bounty of seventy-five cents a ton to the operators, and now see their mistake. While the operator gets alout everything they have leen pared down to something below living wages, and how much worse a strike will make their condition, the fu ture alone can tell. But they have this consolation they saved the tariff. do so are but guesses. It was well un derstood by the Democrats of the house j when the adjournment for the l.o'idays took place that the recess would le de- I voted to a study of how the bill might le impioved, and that no conclusion was to be reached until they came to gether again. It is believed, but even that lias not U-en definitely determined upon, that the fate of the currency bill will be settled at a Democratic caucus to le held as soon as congress meets again. At any rate it can be set down as c rtain that the Democrats, and not the sensa tion managers, will decide the matter. If Spain persists in making the duty upon Canadian Hour shipped to Cuqa 7-r cents a barrel less than the amount charged ujhui Hour shipped from the United States, she may wake up some tine morning anil find herself reading a proclamation issued by President Cleve land that will shut Cubau sugar out of the United States markets. There is no doubt alwut the president having ample authority for this retaliation, and little that he will exercise it, if the Spanish government refuses to favorably r spond to the representations which Minister Taylor has been directed "by Secretary (.in sham to make on the subject. Secretary Carlisle made public this week the plan for the reorganization oi the ollice of the supervising the treasury, which is to lake effect Jan uaiv 1, 1 '.'.". Under the new plan the overreaches Architect ivi!l have to deal only with I matters which should properly come j under him; all the rest will go where ; they properly beloug. Everybody who I knows anything about the busin. s- of ' the ollice admits the proposed change to j be beneficial in every respect. The of- ! tice of architect is now vacant, but it is I expected to be tilled soon after the re- j organization of the ollice. There are j twenty-five written applications for the ollice on file. They are making things lively for Representative A.-her Carutli, of Ken tucky, around his usual Washington haunts, because of his having told a guilelss reporter that he had no use for a present sent him from Philadelphia. The aforesaid present was in the shape of a book and had a title reading: "Chips that Pass in the Night: by Jack Pot." Inside, instead of reading matter, was a poker layout, including cards and ivory chips. The Col. is accused by his friends of trying to l.mcj that poor reporter and through him the public, and the reporter is said1 to have been discharged for accepting as true the Statement that a Kentucky congressman had no use for a poker layout. Gov. athes, of Alabama, is spending the holidays in Washington, hut his visit is one of business as well as pleas ure. When askeil what brought him to Washington at tiiis time, he said: "My chief aim and ambition is to help con- j tribute to the material development of Alabama, which is so rich in natiual resources. National legislation is needed to help on the good work. The people of the South are short of the capital in building up that section, and so I hope that at the present session Con gress will do something to relieve the necessities of the country bv some kind uid room t scaped. The fire started in the basement o i the Broadway side, directly under the elevator shaft, and Ufore the affrighted gutsts and politicians had emerged upon me streets the flames had broken through the ioof. The elevator shaft was ad jacent to the Broadway stairway and Ibmes cut off the egress of the guests in the northern end of the hotel, in which nearly two thirds of the guests were located. Those who were not able to get j pat the elevator shaft so as to pass down to tUf main wav on Steuben street were without hope of escape for some niinu les, until their way was directed to the servants' stairway in the north section of the structure. There were many thiilling escaiK-s, and it is surprising that the casualties are so few when the sweep with which the lire spread throughout the guest lloors of the main building is consid ered. The Delevan house is owned by the Delevan and Ransom estate and was valued at about 2o0,000, iucluding furniture. Highest of all in Leavening Power.- Latest U.S. Gov't Re-ort -4 I3.

The house of William Thompson, a farmer, living twenty-five miles north of here, was burned yesterday morning, the in matt s barely escaping in their night clothes. Mrs. Thompson and two child ren weie badly burned one dying shortly after being taken from the house. I l'lacing his wife and the remaining child in a hen house, Thompson set out for a neighbor s, one mile and a quarter away, having only some rags around his feet and head, being otherwise nude, although the thermometer was ".0 lelow zero. He reached within one hundred yards of the neighbor's house, when he fell exhausted and almost frozen stiff. roriunauiv lie was seen, anu was carried into the house and eared for.

XploMelt of lias The legislature was organized in both branches on Tuesday without hindrance, the caucus states, determined on as to the principal officers weeks ago, going through without hitch. Speaker Wal ton, of Philadelphia, will wield the gavel in the assembly and President Pro Tern, lhomas, of Philadelphia, in the senate. Mr. "Dave" Martin, of Philadelphia, was on hand to see that everything worked right. After organizing at the morning session lioth branches adjourned until the afternoon, when the governor's message was read. The only thing no ticeable about the ceremonial in the house was that the new chaplain made a break in attempting to read his written prayer, and it was with some difficulty he made himself understood by the audi ence to whom the prayer was addressed. ArpRorRi atios or no appropriation for its collection, the income tax law went into effect on New Year's day. The tax will add largely to the revenues of the country and will not be burdensome to those who pay it. Much sympathy is expressed in some quarters for the poor unfortunates who possess incomes of over $4,000 per year, for being obliged to tear the burden of the tax alone, but as in nine cases out of ten, the victims have gotten themselves into their pres ent predicament as a result of special fa vors shown by the government, it is hard to make common tpeople under stand why the beneficiaries should not have special requirements made of them. A dispatch from Martin's Ferry, Ohio, announces that the But key Glass Works, idle for two years, will start to-morrow. It is one of the largest factories of the kind in the United States, and its re sumption of operations may, therefore, be taken as a special portent of a happy New Year for i thousands of bread-winners in Governor McKiuley's commonwealth. Elwood, Ind., Dec. 0. A fearful natural gas and sewer gas explosion oc curred here this morning shortly after midnight in which six men came near losing their lives, all l-cing terribly in jured, two having broken legs. The buii.'ing occupied by Milo See's barber shop was utterly demoli.-hed and the furniture and lixtures blown into frag ments. The cause of the explosion was due to a bad leak in the gas maims which found an outlet in the sewer that com municated with the bathrooms to the shops. From there it accumulated un der the lloor and around the walls of the shop behind the plastering and soon le gan to till the room. Ail evening the smell of sewer gas anil other gas had leen noticed and finally it got so strong the doors were opened to purify the room. The fire in the stove in the shop was burning brightly and when the air le came saturated with the gas the ex plosion occurred. The loss is estimated at $2t0i0 with no insurance. Mill K oil me Murk.

The steamer Yumuri, which arrived here to day from Santa Maria, Colombia, hav ing left there Decemlx-r 22, reports heavy storm off the Columbian coast, resulting in great loss of life and prop erty. The village of laira, five ni'les from Santa Maria, was completely de stroyed, the Hoods washing away every house and drowning fifty people. In the town of Santa Maria itself between forty and fifty houses were destroyed by the storm. The railroad from that town to Kio Frio was badly damaged, and all travel on it suspended, the bridges and track being washed away, so that it will te at least six months before the line will be in running order again. Fire in Mug Sing Prison. Sing Sing, N. Y., Dec. ..0 At 1:S0 o'clock this morning tire was discovered in the Store house and laundry of Sing Sing prison. Although the firemen re scinded promptly the tlames had gained considerable headway and it was not un til 3 o'clock that the fire was extin guished. The loss is estimated at $25, 0OO, and is not covered by insurance. All the convicts were aroused by the noise and bustle incident to the outbreak of the Hamcs but, although a number of the prisoners could plainly see the biaze and some excitement was occasioned by a fire thus occuring in the middle of the uight, all U-haved well and no disorder prevailed.

The new rates were generally accepted by the employ S and 12,(HH) men will return to work Wednesday at the different mills. The average reduc tion in wages amounts to probably 15 or 20 per cent from last year's scale. The rollers ane suit Iters in the ojen hearth and B-ssemer mills received a cut from :. to 4 per cent, while the wagas of many low priced workeis were not changed. Many of the Homestead steel workers who are dissatisfied with the cut made by the new wage scale will remove to Ashtabula county, Ohio. They will exchauge their Homestead property for farms there. This has been done by about twenty Homestead fami lies in the past two months. ltobbrrs llotlj IteceiTed. Chicago, Dec. 30. A gang of four robbers started out to raid the saloons on the Northside.

Plundered and oppressed by the Kurds, they resisted them; there were some killed. Then false, reports were sent to Constantinople that the. Armenians were in arms in reU llion.
