Of this amount (50,- 000 is to come from reductions of duties, chii-fly on manufactures, and $13,000,000 from adding wool, salt, lumber, coal, etc., to the free list. Tbe bill aims at a very extensive revision of present methods of administering the tariff law, and remedying inconsistencies and irregularities in the law, as well as a general reduction of the high rate of tariff taxes. It proposes the substistution of specific for ad valorem rates, where the latter are difficult of enforcement. In tbe chemical, earthen and glass ware schedules, numerous judicious reductions are proposed. In metals, material reductions on iron and steel are recommended. In tbe wool and woolen schedule, raw wool being made free, the rates on woolen fabrics are so reduced as to t::ke awoy about (10,000,000 upon the basis of last year's importations. Inconsistencies as to rates on worsted and woolen cloths are corrected, and here occurs some of the most important changes proposed in the bill. The bill embraces the schedules prepared'for congress last winter by Sec. etary Fuirchiid, substituting specific for advalorem duties on silka, gloves and embroid•ries. It also includes the Hewitt plan for t-eform of the customs administrative se%. rice, with some changes and additions suggested by treasury experience since Mr. Hewitt's bill was first introduced. The measure, it is said, is the reault of incalculable labor and care, and is tbe outgrowth of years of study and experience on the part of treasury experts. Chicago, Dec. 'JO.—Judge McAllister yeateid iy decided that the city ordinance prohibiting the sale of liquor to minors is void. He held that the portion of the ordlnancC which revoked a saloonkeeper's license on a second offense is unconstitutional.

I To the Veteran Soldiers and Suiiors of tire Civil War: Keystone Hall, Pittston, "This country is but a grand poem of Christianity. A system out of which such grand results come is worthy of kindlier treatment at the hands of my flippant friend. He says he knows nothing about God. Then why does he talk about himf Ingefsoll is mad from the top of his intellectual dome to the soles of his infidel feet because the majority choose to disagree with him. Ingersoll says he can write a better book than the Bible. One of thesj days he will wrap the mantle of his conceit about him and die calm in that belief. What do you think of him who picks up the spear ol the Roman centurion, plunges it afresh into lha bide of divine love and shouts, 'Rejoice with me, for I have slain the Christ? Notwithstanding the assaults of infidel and pagan, Christianity echo, s the same strains that have rung through all the agi.s, and will ring until man shall have learned better the lesson of the cross."

Swift was last night found guilty of murdering his wife by shooting her last July. When the ver(Dicl was announced Swift's mother sprang up and, pointing to the state's attorney, shrieked: "You are a murderer."

Before the men began sparring Smith offered to bet Kitrain £400 to £JU0 that ha would beat bim. Smith'* costume was white knee breechas and green socks, and Kilrnin's, black tights and brown socks. Whatever improved pension legislation is received must be done within tho next few mouths, and this is the time to act. Tbe people are disposed to do justice to tbe veterans, and we need Lul to state our case cleariy and base it up m principles of equity and fairness and we can succeed. And no trouble to a goo4a. Specialties Railroad Kmploye* on Strike* We should agree upon a measure that veterans everywhere cau defend, one mat the press can advocate and one that the people ut large will heartily indorse. We shoul • work together as one body of vot•lans, without regard to the claims of th various military societies to wuich we belong. This cause is a common one, appealing to every old soldier. VVe should present our demands as a claim for jnotice, and should fpu.n the idea that \vC oue for bounty or for a gratuity. The service rendered by the soldiers and sailors ol the civil war has not been adequately paid for. There was a discrimination. The merchant and the capitalist who furnished the supplies and funds realized enormsui gains by exacting war prices. The soldier served ihe government at the government's own pric.. The array collectively was Impressed, although individually each man voluuleortd The nutioh called upon each state for a definite number of men, and the army ana navy was made up of men who volunteered to meet the call. Had these men not volunteered, every other man in the country fit for duty would have been drafted. One man out of every two would have been compelled to go to the front bad not the veterans of today gone to the rescue in lSOl-OS. Christma Kilrain, though comparing unfavorably -with Smith in point of muscular development, had tbe advantage of height and length of reach. Botu men responded quickly to the call of time. Tbe flgbtiug was of a fierce character throughout. Several claims of foul war* claimed, but none wal allowed. Columbus, O., Dec. 30.—A strike was inaugurated among the yard employes of the Puu Handle railroad here yesterday in consequence of the refusal of the company to accede to the demand for an increase ol wages from fl.VO to $2.SO. A locomotive whistle was the signal to quit work, and at 10 o'clock a shrill blast from a Baltimore and Ohio yard engine, answered by a docun others, called the men together in small groups to the number of sixty. Then tbey began trying to have other crews go out. A Little liiami train was cut several times, Lut the crew stood firm, made the connection each time, and the train at last proceeded. They were joined by a number of tough characters and moved from yard to yard, compelling men to quit work. Most of them did when so ordered to avoid trouble, but few of them joined the strikers. No demonstrations have as yet been made.

EASTON, Pa., Dec. 20.—The snowstorm here Saturday night caused the greatest blockade on the railroads experienced since 1672. By C5 o'clock tbe Lehigh Valley road was blocked with trains from Easton to Reddington. All the laborers on the road between here and Mauch Chunk were working from midnight Saturday to 0 o'clock Sunday evening shoveling snow. Tbe snow was two feet deep on a level, and from three to five feet in drifta. Ten coal trains were blockaded on the Susquehanna road between here and Allentown. Three locomotives coupled together started from Hampton, N. J., to open the Jersey Central road, but jumped the track after going a few miles. The newspaper train was stuck between Aibury and Valley an honr. Five coal trains were ■now bound at Pincher's, on the Belvidere and Delaware, several hours. Three passenger trains, eight freights and twenty coal trains were blocked on the Morris and Essex between Hackettstown and Washington, N. J., from Saturday evening to Sunday noon. The snow at Sommerville was six feet deep, and at Perth Amboy, eight feet. Drifts were fifteen feet deep, lie roofs of several buildings at Phillipeburg were crushed in by weight of snow. AU the roads are now open but trains are behind time. London, Dec. 20.—The addition to the Cairns' fortune, through the marriage of Lord Cairns to Miss Behrens yesterday, is £30,000, which more than compensates for tbe outlay incurred by his lordship's engagements to Miss Fortescue and Miss Grant Miss Behrens is a member of a very wealthy Hebrew family In Manchester, and will probably receive large legacies from time to time in event of her surviving some of her elder relatives. Lord Cairn* was remarkably cool during the marriage ceremony, and ignored the not too covertly made expressions concerning his previous matrimonial attempts with commendable grace.

The senate finance committee yesterday authorized Senator Allison to report to the senate to-day the bill compiled by tbe special committee on undervaluations, which has for two years been studying the subject of reform of the customs administration laws relating to the appraisement of imported merchandise. Tbe bill contains twentyone sections, and repeals all other laws as to appraisements and customs administration. It does away with merchant appraisers and with the right of importers to appeal from reappraisementa to the courts or the secretary of the treasury. It provides for nine general appraisers at salaries of $5,000, to whom are given the power of final decision in all questions of clasaiflca tion and appraisement. The duties ot customs officers and the requirements as to invoices, entries, etc., are all more clearly defined. Penalties for offering or accepting jribes and for attempted evasions of duty are made more severe. It is provided that invoices must give the actual market value of Imported merchandise at the place of purchase or production. Appraising officers •re authorised to use every proper means to ascertain the correctness of invoices, and in oases of undervaluation to tbe extent ot S percent, penalties will attach, and forfeiture in oases of 20 per oent undervaluation. Tue burden of proof is placed upon importers instead of customs officers in cases of apparent fraud. The system of damage allowances is wholly abolished. Coverings in which merchandise is imported are to be included in estimating the value upon which duty is assessed. The bonded warehouse system is not in any way changed by the bill. Fees and oaths are done away with so far as possible. party admit* that JKM SMITH. N«w York, Dec. 20.—The body of Nellie South wick lay in a back room at Undertaker Hannah's, 79 Greenwich avenue, all day yesterday, and a large number of people went to see the remains. The majority of them were women who said they had known ber when sbe was a dressmaker or since she began to live with Montgomery as his wife. Persons living at 255 West Twenty-first street said they had always known her as a quiet, unassuming woman, and could not understand any motive for her suicide. No arrangements have been made as yet for the funeral. Montgomery especially requested tliat it be deferred until after the inquest, which will be held to-day. He wants to bury her himself, and expects to be released as soon as the coroner's jury has rendered its verdict.

The trial of Dan Doherty for the murder of Capt. Graham began yesterday. Tbe newspapers are devoting a great deal of apace to tbe case, but thus far there is nothing to be found in the columns of verbatim testimony they publish promising Doherty's conviction.

The jurors have been excised foi a wia'.c from the United Statea district court. Judge Qray has the power to make a temporary appointment of a marshal, and a telegram has been sent him at Washington asking him to do so until Gen. Banks' successor is named.

The work of the courts can now go on as usual The Wheels of Justice Stopped. POWDER Round after round now followed, Kilrain holding his own, but getting no advantage, and Smith generally leading with his right, stopping ICilrain'a counters. Kilrain did the most damage with his right, but always before much harm had been done the men clbqed and fell together. The proposition made by Mr. O'Brien, counsel for Callan and Harkins, tbe alleged dynamiters, that tbe substance seized on the premises occupied by the former and claimed to be dynamite be experimented with to test its genuineness, astounds the authorities. It is hardly possible, however, that tbey can refuse to do this, and it seems very strange that they have not already done so. If the test is made and the substance fails to explode the case against the prisoners of course falls to tbe ground. If it doss explode the conviction of tbe men is assured, and their senteuce to penal servitude for life certain.
