Currency Cadaver
Dissected In the House.
lly the United Press.
Washington, Jan. 4. There wan a
very lively and Interesting discussion
la the Benate today over Senator
Lodge's (Rep., Mass.) resolution call
ing on the president for Information as
to the withdrawal of American vessels
of war from the Hawaiian islands. All
of the Republican senators who par
ticipated in the discussion favored the
adoption of the resolution, while the
Democratic senators argued In favor
of Its reference to the committee on
foreign relations. Ona Democratic sen
atorCall, of Florida opposed the ref
erence and favored the resolution. The
morning hour expired before any vote
was taken, and the resolution lost Us
place on the table and went to the cal
endar, where It will be heard of no
more.
The military academy appropriation
till was passed, with a few amend
ments occupying no more time than
was necessary for the clerk to read It.
The pension appropriation bill was
taken up, but went over without final
action, and at 3.55 the senate adjourned
till Monduy.
House Proceedings.
Today's debate on the currency bill In
the house of representatives was In
ome respects the most notable and In
teresting that has occurred. The
speeches of Messrs. Dlngley, of Maine,
and Hepburn, of Iowa. Republicans,
Were significant in 'that they were
taken -to express the purpose of the
Republican tnajanlty In the next con
gress to proceed at once, upon dts as
sembling, to the preparation of a rev
enue measure which will, in their opin
ion, provide enough money to meet the
expenditures of the govermeut. Noth
ing short of that, according to their
statements, will be sufficient to remedy
or remove the evils from which he
treasury and Hhe whole country are
Buffering. Mr. Hepburn would also go
further and proceed to legislate for a
most general use and coinage of silver,
'but Mr. Dlngly was silent on that point.
Representatives Hendrlx (Dem., N.
T.), also made a notable speech. He
said the bill would be a failure as far
as the purposes which it was sought to
effect were concerned.
. Other speeches were made by Messrs.
Caruth (Dem. Ky.) and Gresham (Dem.,
Tex.) In favor of the bill. Mr. Sperry
(Dem.. Conn.) gave notice of a substi
tute he Intended to offer, and Mr.
walker (Kep., Mass.) presented two
additional sections to his substitute, re
quiring the payment of customs duos
in part 'In gold for a certain period, and
authorizing the secretary of the treas
ury to sell 3 per cent, bonds to cover
deficiencies .in the treasury and to
maintain ne gold reserve.
A night session was held under the
rules for the consideration of private

By the United Press.
Harrodsburg, Ky., Jan. 4. At 11.50
this morning Sheriff John I. Von Ars.
flail shot and killed Dr. F. L. Harrod.
The killing took place In Lawyer's Row.
The physician had Just returned from
the postofMce, when he was intercepted
by the sheriff, who opened Are on tilm
at close quarters, firing three shots.
The killing Is attributed to the recent
election In this county. Van Arsda.ll
was a candidate for re-election and
was opposed by the doctor and was de
feated. Dr. Harrod had many friends,
and It is not unlikely that trouble will
follow the killing.
ELIJAH EMERICII ACCUSED.

By the United Press.
Pottsvllle, Pa., Jan. 4. At the alms
house investigation today Justice of
the Peace Partridge testified that he
had drawn up the affidavits for Poor
Director Day and Poor Director-elect
Dietrich, which pledged the two men
to stick to each other In appointments
' FOR FIVE HUNDRED YEARS
and over, the whole world has been
coming to Carlsbad to be cured. Dis
orders of the stomach, of the liver, of
the bowels, of the kidneys and bladder,
fjout, rheumatism, diabetes, obesity
all have been sent to Carlsbad.
' Here is the very same remedy now,
right at your own door--the Carlsbad

gestion, for biliousness, just as much

for this year. Da was to appoint the
steward, clerk and boss farmer, and
Dietrich the doctor, solicitor and as
sistant .farmer. These were the prin
cipal offices ind the two men were to
alternate In picking out the other twen
ty-four or twenty-flve officials. 'Squire
Partridge also swore that he was prom
ised the clerkship by Day, who after
ward begged off on the plea that he had
to appoint some one else.
At the ""almshouse yesterday after
noon the auditors found on examina
tion of several of the female inmates
that charges had been preferred
against Elijah Emerlch when he was
steward, and two of the girls testified
that they and Emerlch had been crimi
nally Intimate.
INDUSTRIAL TOPICS.
After Jan. 1 the price of steel rails
In the east, at mills, will be $22, and at
tidewater 522.75. In the west the price
will be $23. With steel billets, selling
at $15, this leaves a handsome margin
of profit for the members of the stecl
rall trust.
The recent placing of an order for
30,000 tons of rails by the Pennsylvania
Railroad company clearly indicates
that that company at least does not
look for lower prices for rails In 1SK3
than now prevail.
A thorough investlgajtion falls to de
velop any cutting of coal prices by the
leading companies. Some of the Inde
pendent, an 1 possibly one or two of the
smaller companies, are shading their
prices slightly, but the concessions are
In no way affecting the trade. Coxe
Hi-ok. & Co. are holding prices to the
circular. The volume of business shows
nn increase, because of the cold
weather.
John O. Johnson, the noted Philadel
phia lawyer, has 'been assigned the task
of drawing up the papers for the fore
closure of the Reading road for the Ol
cott committee. He says the work will
require careful investigation and re
search, and that some time will elapse
before he can conclude It. A few de
posits of securities have been received
by the Olcott committee in the last two
days.
It was reamed, yesterday, that the
price to be paild for the 30,000 tons of
steel rails 'recently ordered by the
Pennsylvania Railroad company Is $22
per ton. Last year the company paiid
$24 per ton for its rails, and the pres
ent price Is the lowest it Jias ever been.
The contracts were placed with the
Pennsylvania Steel company, the
Soranton Steel company, the Cambria
Iron company, and the Edgar Thomson
Steel works.
Scranton ,and Carbondale Traction
company earnings for the fiscal year
ending Oct. 31, 1894, are reported as fol
laws: Gross earnings , $30,525
Operating expenses 12,496
Net earnings 18,029
Interest charges 9,(KX)
Surplus 9,029
Earnings for the first seven weeks of
the current fiscal year $4,543, compared
with $3,992 for the same period in the
previous year, an increase of 15 per
cent. . . ,
The prospects for trade In iron and
steel grow more favorable day by day,
and Increased aotlvity early In the new
year Is confidently looked for by manu
turers east and west. Many large or
ders for pig Iron and partly-manufac
tured Iron and steel products have been
placed, and the outlook for adltlonal
orders Is very bright. In Pennsylvania
and Ohio several of the great plg-lron
producing companies have made con
tracts for their ore and fuel for 1895,
thus insuring work for Iron-ore miners.
coal miners and coke workers for some
time to come.
That President Harris, of the Read'
Ing, will receive an enormous vote at
the coming unnual election Is shown
by the fact that he has already received
proxies representing 395,000 shares of
stock. So far comparison of proxies
has only been made with about 100,000
shares of the re-organizatlon commit
tee's deposits. The work of comparing
the remainder will be undertaken In a
few days, and Jt 4s believed It will be
found that the committee has at least
100,000 shares that have not been dupli
cated by proxies sent to the manage
ment. It Is estimated that the vote to
be cast for President Harris will range
from 500,000 to 600,000 shares.
Philadelphia Stockholder: "Thait har
mony no longer exists among members
of the Lehigh Valley so-called protec
tive stockholders' committee Is beyond
question: it was apparent at the meet
ing of stockholders in Association hall
on Wednesday, and was more pro
nounced yesterday. According to
strent reports, Chairman Hutchinson Is
now occupying that position morely in
a nominal capacity, and It Is openly as
serted tlhat the Dick faction In the com-
motlee wants nothing more to do with
him. Mr. Hutchinson, on the other
hand. Is reported to have said openjy
ait Wednesday's mettilnjr that he was
'done' with the Dicks. Under ordinary
circumstances such a sta.te of affairs
would naturally lead to 'the belief that
the .dissolution of the committee was
near at hand."
Philadelphia Record: "The move
ment to place the anthracite coal trade
on a sound business basis, which has
been placed in the hands of a sub-committee
composed of T. F. Torroy, of the
Delaware and Hudson Canal company;
W. H. Sayre, of the Lehigh Valley, and
C. E. Henderson, of the Reading com
panics, has not yet got fairly under
way. The committee has In hand the
work of preparing statistics of produc
tion, distribution, etc. .and will make
an exhaustive and comprehensive ex
amination, and later report to the gen
eral committee. It Is not expected that
a report can be made ready much be
fore the close of the month, and fre
quent conferences will be held In order
that all obtainable data may be care
fully considered. The record of each
company, showing its facilities for min
ing and distribution, will be made up,
and be embodied In the report. Some
of the producers and carriers are dis
satisfied with their percentage of the
total and the Reading officials have all
along maintained that the company's
percentage was too low, and that the
other producers and carriers have
profited at its expense. In the proposed
reorganisation of the trade all such
matters will receive careful considera
tion, and the object of the presidents
is to formulate an agreement that will
prove satisfactory to all Interests, and
result In harmony and unity of action
in the trade. Efforts will be made to
remove every cause of existing friction
and the interests of the Individual pro
ducers will be considered from the same
standpoint as those of the organized
companies."

Causes of Stagnation in Trade During

Extraordinary Abundance of Money lias
Resulted from Dullness In Business
Enterprises Commodities Arc at
the Lowest Level In Price.
By the United Press.
New York, Jan. 4. R. G. Dun & Co.'s
weekly review of trade tomorrow will
say: Failures for 1894 are fully re
ported this week, being 13,885 in the
United States and 1.856 in the Dominion
of Canada. Liabilities in the United
States were $172,992,856, and in Canada
$17,616,215. Neither the decrease of over
half In this country, nor the Increase of
over 40 per cent. In Canada Is surprls-
ng, but the statement shows that most
of the decrease In the United States Is
In munufacurlng liabilities, while the
ncrease in Canuda Is In liabilities of
trading concerns.
A few states, including New York
and Pennsylvania, show more failures
than in 1893, and In a few southern
states the amount of liabilities Is larger,
but in central and western states
ery much smaller. In eleven of the
last thirty-eight years reported liabili
ties have been larger than in 1894,
though for this year and 1893 the state
ment Is confined to commercial fail
ures, as It was not In former years.
The failures have been 32.5 in every
thousand firms doing business; the lia
bilities have averaged $137.77 to each
firm In trade, and in proportion to the
olume of Bolvent business represented
by all clearing house exchanges, $2.03
for every $1,000.
A complete review of different
blanches of business today places In a
clear light the fact that prices of com
modities are at the lowest level ever
known. For the year all United States
railroads have thus far reported earn
ings of 11.9 per cent, less than last
year for the same weeks or months, and
16.5 per cent. le3S than In 1892.
Monetary Apprehensions.
During the greater .part of the year
business has been disturbed by mone
tary apprehensions, the gold reserve
In the treasury having1' fallen danger
ously low. Extraordinary abundance
of money has resulted from the general
dullness of trade, and tihe movement
to this center has been, unprecedented
In volume.
The condition of Industries has been
largely governed by the fall In prices,
and, While production Is much greater
than a year ago, the aggregate increase
being fairly measured by the increase
of 8.2 per cent, in hours of work done in
November. Compared with the previ
ous year it haa been the controlling
feature In almost every important in
dustry that consumption, lias not kept
a pace with the output, and has not
sustained prices. In Iron and steel the
owest prices of the year are ait tihe
close, and the lowest ever known, the
demand calling for less than half the
usual quantity of rails, with large de
crease In many other branches, though
probably the use of structural forms
was larger In 1894 than ever before.
The year has been especially note
worthy for the lowest .prices of wheat
and cotton on record. Both suffer fr jm
wholly unprecedented accumulation of
stocks, the crops being large.

TO our patrons:
Washburn-Crosby Co. wish to assure their many pat
rons thut they will this year hold to their usual custom
ol milling STRICTLY OLD WHEAT until the new crop
is fully cured. New wheat is now upon the market, and
owing to the excessively dry weather many millers aro
of the opinion that it is already cured, and in proper
condition for milling. Washburn-Crosby Co. will take
no risks, and will allow the new wheat fully three
months to mature before grinding.
This careful attention to every detail of milling has
placed Washburn-Crosby Co.'s flour far above other
brands.
