DAY'S DOINGS IN THE HOUSE Consideration of the Vrgcncy Deficiency Bill Vote on the Motion to Striko Out he Appropriation for the Collec tion of Incorao Tax. By the United Tress. Washington, Doc. 13. Consideration of the Nicaraguan canal bill was re sumed and Mr. Morgan finished his ar gument In advocacy of , it. He asked unanimous consent to have the vote taken upon it next Thursday; but objec tion was made by Mr. Caffery and then Mr. Morgan asked that the vote be tak en Immediately. But Mr. Peffer desired to' occupy some time In presenting his views and the bill went over. In the meantime, an amendment to It was sent' up by Mr. Call and when its reading was called for by Mr. Morgan, there was no one at the clerk's desk who could make anything out of the manu script except the words "The United Staites of America." And It was left to be deciphered at Che government print ing office. Aside from about an hour devoted to an animated discussion of the poli cy of the pension bureau under the present administration, the session of the house today was strictly a business one. . After some general business the house went Into committee of the whole and resumed Consideration of the ur gency deficiency bill, the pending ques tlon being the amendment offered by Mr. Henderson (Kep. Ia.) to reduce the amount of the appropriation for special pension agents from $2D0,00 to $1:15,000. Mr. Hicks (Hep. Pa.) advocated the amendment. He said that the special agents had been changed under the in fluence of the unjust charge of fraud against the pensioners made in the president's message of 1S93 from friends of applicants for pensions to antagonists. This was shown, said Mr. Hicks, by their method of examln ing applicants, which was often hasty and unfair. In response to a challenge from Mr. Coombs (Dem. N. Y.), he gave an Instance In Pennsylvania, which, he asserted, bore out his statement. Vote on Deficiency Kill. After an hour's debate the house, In committee of the whole, voted 88 to f9 not to reduce the appropriation In the urgent deficiency bill for the payment of Bpeclal pension examiners from $250, 000 to $125,000 upon the amendment of fered by M:r. Henderson, (Rep., Ia.) The bill was then reported to the house with a favorable recommendation. Mr. Cock ran, (Dem., N. Y.), moved to re-commlt the bill, with Instructions to strike out 'the appropriation for collecting the In come itax. . On this question 'the yeas id nays were ordered.

' ENERAL GREGG'S REPORT mportant Recommendations Con tained in the Review, . ' STATE FINANCES HEALTHY The Large Balance, However, as the At tructlon for Misappropriation May Not Prove an Unmixed Blessing, Many Amendments Arc Needed. By the United Press. Harrisburg, Pa., Dec. 13. Auditor General Gregg makes some Important ecommendatlonis In this report to the governor. He says the finances of the commonwealth are In a healthy condl- on. Referring to the large balance In the state treasury, he observes: Whilst wo may point with pride to the existence of this large balance, It must not be too readily assumed that It will prove an unmixed blessing. Its very ex istence will Invite applications of its appropriation to purposes neither nec essary nor deserving. If a considerable portion of the present accumulated bul- nce could bo applied to some needed pub lic use, whose benefits would be enjoyed by the entire people, without placing upon commonwealth an annual charge there for, which could not be made from Its reliable revenues, it would seem well that the existing surplus, should be so used. i He speaks of some difficulties In col lecting the revenues and says: It Is greatly to be regretted that the tax ation of the capital stock of corporations, limited partnership and joint stock asso ciations cannot be made under a tax law that can be enforced, upon reports ma-lo to this department and under a general rule of application There are upward of 7,o00 corporations nd limited partnerships and joint stock associations making capital stock re ports to this department. Of these prob bly one-half do not report sales of shares of stock to have occurred during the year. n view of these facts it Is respectfully urged that the legislature will, at Its ap proaching session, so amend the present law of taxing capital stock that it shnl! be possible for the auditor general to de termine the tax in each case, save In optional ones, from reports made to his department. Where Amendment Was Needed. General Gregg says there is great need of amendment to the existing laws on the subject of theatrical and circus license. He suggests that the owner or essee of a place for theatrical repre sentations should be required to pay an annual license, which should be graduated according to the population of the city or borough In which the building Is situated. It Is recommended that section of the act of June 7, 1879, shall be so amended as to limit the application of the word broker" In the act to those brokers who receive deposits of money. Reference Is made to the fact that the number of mine Inspectors was In creased from 16 to 18 In 1893 and no ap propriation made for the increased sal aries. There will, therefore, be a deficit to be provided for by thp legislature. The receipts this year were: $12,873,- 786.82; the chief items being the tax on corporation stock and limited partner ship, $3,635,668.73; tax on gross receipts, $780,308.61; banks, 535,142,23; foreign In surance companies, $195,758.50; loans, $1,381,625.99; tax on personal property, $2,386,750.99; tax on writs, wills, deeds, etc., $162,428.52; tax on collateral Inher ences, $869,178.93; licenses, $1,366,041.26; bonus on charters, $215,257.69; United States government, $399,071.55; fees of public officers, $157,632.40; conscience money, $644. DEFENDANTS GALORE. EdwardNvlllltcs Anxious to lie Indicted for Burning Mrs. Thomas Davis unJ John Jones in Effigy. By tho United Press. Wllkes-Barre, Pa,, Dec. 13. David Bolton and David Thomas, of Ed wardsvllle, were tried tonight on 'the charge of libel for burning In efllgy John Jones and Mrs. Thomas Duvls. The neighbors charged that Jones and Mrs. Davis had been for some time stepping beyond the bounds of propri ety, and they had warned them that they must not continue to besmirch the churacter of the neighborhood. The warnings went by unheeded, and company of twenty or more went to Mrs. Davis House at midnight, and burned the two figures In her front yard. Mrs. Davis watched the flames from her window, and In the HJrht detected several faces she knew. This morning she swore out warrants before Alder man Perkins for the arrest of Bolton and Thomas. When they were arrested a crowd of a couple of hundred Edwardsvllle resi dents came over to the county seat, de claring that they were In the efllgy party and requesting that they also be Indicted. The case was postponed for a few days after a number of wit nesses had been heard. NEWFOUNDLAND CRISIS. Heroic Efforts to Restore Confidence Aro Made. . By the United Press. St. John's, N. F., Dec. 13. It Is now regarded as Impossible for the Union bank, which, It was announced several days ago, had closed temporarily, to re sume operations. Should this be the case, however, no loss would be suffered by the depositors or note holders. The property of the shareholders will be sacrificed to assure such a result. To accomplish this the bank of Nova Sco tia, of Halifax, has sent two represen tatives on the steamer Barcelona to render whatever assitance Is possible. Large consignments of Bpecle are also on the way here, and It is hoped that this will help to restore public confl dence. A public movement will shortly be in augurated to devise means for procur Ing food for those Impoverished people who are without any prospect of ob taining employment this winter.

A MURDEROUS SUGGESTION After Severely Denting tho Officer, One of the Thugs Proposes to Finish Him and Place His Dcud Iludy on the Railroad Truck. Bpeclal to the Scranton Tribune. Forest City, Dec. 13. The largo gen eral Btore of George Wedeman at Vand- llng was visited by burglars yesterday morning about 1 o'clock An entrance was effected by breaking open the front door. The safe was the next object that attracted their attention. Opera tions were at once begun on it by drill ing' a hole in the top. When this was accomplished a charge of dynamite was exploded, and the safe was open. The money, which amounted to about $60, was secured. ', Mr. Wedeman Is treasurer of the fire company nt Vandllng. and $50 of the money belonged to thut organization. The men were four In number, and after securing the money they started toward the Erie railroad tracks. Constable Edward Neary, of Carbon- dale, alighted from a train about this time and was proceeding to Vandllng to look for a criminal for whose arrest he had a warrant. He saw four men coming toward him, but thinking they were men who worked In the mine, he did not pay any attention to them. Suddenly the men divided Into two files to pass him, and when he was be tween the two sections, two of the men grabbed him by the wrists and knocked him down. One of the men quickly went through his pockets, relieving him of his revolver, money, a pair of hand cuffs and watch. Seeing that he was an ofllcer, one of the assailants made a vicious swing at him with a "Jimmy," which came very close to his head. One of the men suggested that they might as well finish him and put his body on the railroad track to appear that he had been killed by a train. They, however, changed their minds, and went down to the railroad track. Mr. Neary quickly recovered and went to some houses and raised an alarm. Word was sent to Carbondale for officers, and Chief of Police McAn drew and Detective Michael Moran re sponded. Nothing could be discovered of the highwaymen at that time, but it Is probable that efforts will be put forth to place them In the custody of the law. ZIM'S FAREWELL.
