"Perhaps no measure that will come- before the General Assembly during the present session will be fraught with so much interest to the business community as the Revenue Bill, which many contend badly needs over- Lsditifcl 1 Tfiemr frarprerenTln'the hands of a subcommittee from the Joint Senate and House Finance Com mittee, of which Senator H. A. Lon don, of Pitts bo ro, is chairman. The sub-committee worked- faith" fully upon the bill and reported to the Joint Committee Monday and the lat ter is now holding sessions- until a late hour each night, preparing amend ments and new provisions that will provide ' sufficient revenue for the State and at the same time will not be onerous upon the tax-payers. It is ex pected that the new bill will be reported to the House this week and ample time will be given for its full discus sion and consideration before the rush incident to the closing of the session. Monday night the Joint Committee decided to put a specific tax of S3. 60 per mile upon the Southern Express Company, instead of the two per cent, on gross earnings, as under the present law. Last night the liquor section of the Act was considered and also the section concerning railroad and tele graph companies. An! extensive hearing was given last night to representatives of tbe rail road companies on the railroad tax levy of the act, Section 60, by which it is proposed to prescribe that rail roads shall be taxed on the market value of their stock. O. B. Watson, represented the Norfolk & Western ; Judge Francis D. Winston, the A. C. L , and EL W. Miller, the Southern. No action was taken. Some of the minor changes in the proposed bill are outlined by Chairman London as follows: The section of the present revenue bill relating to bank taxation and re ports from corporations will be taken from the revenue act and placed where it properly belongs, in the Ma chinery Act. Several changes in this section are proposed, but will not be definitely determined until the Machin ry Act is considered. The change proposed in the income taxdoea not require persons to list their incomes which do not exceed $1,000. the amount exempted. In schedule B, the first change pro posed strikes out of section S3 the pro viso allowing the license tax to be pro rated for snch parts of the ear as it is used. Section 35, imposing the tax on circuses, etc, is amended so aa to pre vent circuses from avoiding, as many have- done, the tax therein imposed. The change Imposes a tax of $300 a day on every circus to which the price of admission, Including a reserved seat, exceeds fifty cents. Tbe license tax is repealed on a num ber of vocations, such as auctioneers, dealers in fresh meats, wood dealers, junk dealers, etc. The tax on horse dealers is 'reduced from $35 to $15, to be paid to the State Treasurer. Deal ers of clocks, stoves and ranges must pay a tax of $100 Instead of $50 as here tofore. Bection 60, relating to pawn brokers, is amended to read, "This section shall apply to all persons, firms or corpora tions conducting a business of lending money and holding the same by chat lel mortgage, pledge or otherwise and who charge more than the legal rate of interest." In section 64, relating to peddlers, persons who sell books, peri odicals and printed music are exempt ed from the peddlers license tax. Tbe tax on lightning-rod agents is increased from $30 to $50. Tne tax on hotels is. changed so as not to tax those charging not over $1.00 a day. The tax on oil tanks is increased from $30 to $100 and a tax of $5 is levied upon each delivery wagon of oil. Section 70, relating to liquor dealers, is amended so aa to increase the tax therein levied from $50 to $150, from $100 to $300 and from $35 to $50. The Merchants Special License Tsx of $L00 is repealed and their tax on their gross sales is changed so as to be fifty cents on sales of $1,000 or less and on all sales over $1,000 or any fractional part thereof, fifty cents for each $1,000 or fractional part thereof. This change will impose a much less tax on small merchants and a larger tax on merchants who sell over $5,000. Tbe tax on emigrant agents is in creased from $35 to $100 for the State and $100 in each county. Section 91, relating to the tax on corpoiations, is amended so as to add thereto tbe words "No county, city or town shall have the power to levy a franchise tax under this section." Tbe taxes on cigarettes, express com panies and telegraph companies will be increased and a tax will be levied upon whiskey. ; Tbe sub-committee which has been preparing the revenue act, will now begin their work upon the machinery act, in which many important changes are proposed.

Although no action was taken it ws pretty generally under stood by .members in attendance that at no distant day a vehicle of the kind desired will be in commission in con nection with the institution.' Dr. W. J. H.

I BAFFLED THE DEPARTMENT Flames la the Basement Were Hard to Get at and Bnrned . Fiercely Tbe i ; : JPlre Still Baralsf Tosy-Losa V Coaot Be Estimated Yet . f At o'clock this morning fire was discovered in the basement of the three-story, brick dry goods establish mant of -Mr;' A. , D. Srownr.onFront ! street. Aa roe Stab goer to press this tfOThlnyRfB1i'lst,ijr thejiremen were confining the : flsmes pretty much to the tier of buildings in which they originated. The stock of dry goods in Brown's store will be pretty much a complete loss and the stock of clothing in the store of the A. David Company will a Iso be badly damaged. Of course at this hour it is impossi ble to say as to the extent of the dam age but it will run into the thous ands. The fire probably started from a ci garette or cigar-stump dropped care lessly by. some pedestrian through the grating over the basement on the sidewalk. The flames had gained con siderable headway when discovered by Policeman W. M. Harriss. An alarm was sent in from Water and Market streets, and two streams from hose were soon playing into the cellar. Later; Engine No. 1 went to the Prin cess street dock and afforded a stream from the river. Smoke poured from the fire in dense Tolumes and as the wind was blowing toward the Stab office, it made work very difficult. The firemen were also badly handicapped. The buOding in which the fire origi nated belongs to the estate of I. Vol lers. No insurance figures are, of course, obtainable at this hour. At 4:30 o'clock this morning A. D. Brown's store is a total loss, and it looks as if Davjd's store on southwest corner of Front and Princess streets Is doomed to . nearly a complete loss. Brown's loss on store will be $36,000; insurance, $35,000. The loss in the building is about $8,000. The David store is owned by Mrs. P. M. McOrary. The David stock: probably is worth $45,000. The offices of the O. B. L. & P. Co., and Hugh MaeBae & Co., next south of Brown's, were badly damaged by smoke and water. ' 5 A. Mi The fire appears under con trol, with only partial loss to David stock and building. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. Mrs. James Sinclair is the guest of friends at Bed Springs, N. O. . Mrs. O. W.

Alexander Snrunt & Son. 8he is now the only regular cotton steamer in port The Daventry and Eaatry are here, but the first named is In distress and the Eaatry will take part of her cargo. The only change In the local naval stores market yesterday was an ad vance in tar to $1.65 per barrel. Spirits remained firm at 65 cents the highest price in thirty years. Dealers think the healthy tone of the market has come to stay and upon the strength of that belief in the country, it is said, that many pines hitherto un worked, because of their inaccessibility will be boxed next season. This will be espe cially noticeable, it is reported, in Brunswick county, where much of the land and timber is cut off by swamps. - Mr. W. L. Miller, manager of the Acme Tea Chest Co., yesterday re ceived a telegram from Capt Dojierty, of the British steamer Garlands, pre viously reported sshore at Big Kinna kett, stating that the vessel had been floated and was awaiting orders of the owner. She . will probably proceed to Newport News for repairs and later come to Wilmington. Capt' Hunter, of the British steamer Savan, which is in at Southport for alight repairs, came up to the city yesterday evening for a conference with his consignees, Messrs. Alexander Sprunt & Son. A correspondent writing from Nor folk Monday of the steamer Garlands says : "All three of the wrecking tugs are on the scene of the wreck of the steamer Garlands at Kinnakeet Life Savins? Station. At noon to-day there was no arrangement with either one of the tug owners for the salvage of the ship. Captain Doherty was dickering with the masters of the three tugs, two of them of the lAUihenhachSs and the Rescue of the Merritt & Chapman Com pany. The steamer is lying on her side and is still in a safe condition. None of the men who were aboard were hurt in coming from the ship on Sunday morning in the breeches buoy and they are all reported well now. One of the tugs will likely begin pulling the vessel off as soon as the bargain is struck." - (By Associated Press.) ! Nobfolk. Va.. Feb. 10. Beports received here last.night from Big Kin- nakat life saving station, near uape Hatteras. announced that the British steamship Garlands which had blown ashore last Saturday mornlnar, ia still firmly Imbedded in the sand.
