Stocks Are Tremendously Affected by the New Tariff. Tbe new tariff bill, as reverted from tho Committee of Ways and Means, was made public Monday. At New York sugar and whisky got mixed up in unequal pro portions on the Stock Exchange, ttock values went tumbling up and down with lightning-like rapidity. Tbo excitement following the announcement of the changes In the tariff on ?u?ar reached tbo proportions of a cyclone at times, and the stock of the trust ii jostled a')out like a toy balloon In a blizzard. Over la another part of the room, in the cr .wd trading In Distilling and Oatlla Fee Jin: stoc it another equally severe storm was in progreii Tbe latter was due to the Intimation that no Increase in tbe tax on whisky was considered likely. Botb stocks have been alternately buoyant and neat for weeks on alleged stralgblinformttlor. from Washington given ontby the manipulators of tboso slocks that the Ways and Means Committee would or would not bring In a bill favorable to the two properties. When tbe bald truth was definitely kmwn sugar stock broke 3 points In the first ten minutes. Distillery s ock, which lias bi-i-n very strong on reports that the government would be compelled 10 raise tbs tax on whisky for revenue purports, broke 4 puluta tit saino time BLOCK COAL CORNERED. Entire Product of Indiana Is Seen red by n Chicago Concern. Negotiations which have Just been completed place tbo control of all the block coal produced In Indiana for the next year in tho hands of tho Indiana Block Coal Company, of Chicago, says a Chicago dispatch. The resident of tbe company Is Leslie Thomas, and Eugene M. Comas is secretary and treasurer. The production of block coal In Indiana is about 1.000,000,000 toes a year, and there arc a number of concerns engagod In mining it What It has cost the company to secure control of the output ol these companies is conjectural, but men well posted In the trade estimate It at 51.500,030. Indiana block coal Is used exclusively for steam purposes, and Is superior 10 any other coal that can be obtained fir that objecf. Its price in Chicago is S3 25 a ton delivered, but with tbe entire control vested In ono concern this price is likely to soon advance Two More Desperadoes Wined Out Dispatches, from Durant, I. T., state that Tandy Folsom engaged lu a duel with Will Durant and k II led htm In abort order. Bud Durant, a biotber of Will, then drew his revolver and killed Folsom.

CASH OF THE NATION.

ANNUAL REPORT OF TREASURER MORGAN. Revised Figures Presented to Secretary Carlisle GIv'.ng the Condition of the National Treasury-Secretary Morton's Department In crnal Revenue Dureau Report. Total Stork fif Money. United Slates Ti-oas-ttver D. N. Morgan has Bulmifoil to Secretary Carlisle his annual lepnt -tin 1he operations and condition of ilic treasury. It shows that the net ordinary revenues for the fiscal year im wore $385,81U,028, an increase of &0,S1,844 over those of the year before. The net ordinary expend lures wero $.'!S:,4-I7,")54, an increase of ir3JMfl,(ii'!. Tr.ero was, therefore, a decrease of 7,77U.7?a in tho surplus revenue, reducing them to $2,341,074. Including the pub io debt the total receipts were -t7;12.Si 1,214 and tho t-it;lQxpemlitUi-esi77:i,0 )7,!t8. Tho public funds amounted cn Juno .10, HV, to $7c,c51,85. and on June .'10, to $74li,r.'!S,ti5;, After setting apart tho o suns of ffoM. silver and tbo United States notes which were held for the redemption of certificates of deposit nnd treasury notes there was left a reservo, or general fund, of $1S7,01?,740 in 18U2 and $ltUti7,3iil in 193. These amounts, however, included certain sums of certificates of depesit, buids and coupons which were unavailable for any other purposo than tho sett ement of tho treasurers account, and which, if canceled, would have left an actual available working; balance of flB5,W?,S?C and SI 50,21 Ti,l9 on ti e two dates, respectively. By Sept. 30 this balance had been diminished to $!49,250,26tf, owing ta a deficiency in tho revenue. In seven months, 'beginning with last December, upward of $81,000,000 was drawn out of the Ticasury in redemption of notes, and the gold reserve was reduced during the samejeriod by $29,10 J 000. Durinr the next three mrntlis, with light redeuiptii ns and a deficiency of $19,C0J,U00 in the revenue, the Treasury lost $15,03(1,000 of gold, but the reserve fell off only S?.00('.000. The amount of gold during the fiscal year was the largest ever taken out of -:he country or brought into it In a like rerlod. being upward of $108,600.000, and that 8102,000,000 of it was drawn out of t he treasury by the presentation of legal-tonder notes. Most of the gold exported in former years was supplied by the treasury in exchange for gold certificates, and the report says that it is the lirst time that any considerable sums of notes have been presented for the metal. With the exception of an increase of $45,500,r:00 in the amount of ttoasury note?, Issued in the purchase of silver bullion, and a decrease of SO,OCO,000 in the combined volume of gold certificates and currency certificate?, there has been, th report, says, no important change in the public debt. According to the revised estimate the total stock of money of all kinds in the country on June 30 'was $2,323,547,977, or nearly 851,00 ,000 less than at the same time last year. This contraction took place notwithftandirg the addition of $45 5 0,( 00 to the stock of silver and an increase of $6,000,OCO in the ( u'.standicg bunk notes, and was caused by the export of gold. In July, however, there bsgan a heavy return movement cf tbo iretal, supported by a rapid expansion of bank-note circulation. By the end of September the stock of gold was restored to what it was when tho exports b?gan. The total increase of the effective stoek of money in the three months was no lower than !)u,C(KXC00, bringing it np to a figure much above the highest ever reached before. The treasurer remarks that this sudden contraction and expansion within the spao2 of eleven months affords a striking lllu.-t ation of the degree of ilexibility possessed by the c-un ei.cy. The revised figures for the ami unf of money in circulation, that is outside the tteasury on June :-,(). p'ace it at $1, 011(1,8!.82!!, or about $0,00 .0.10 less than it wa a year before. During the four months ended with October there was an increase of $2,),00i',000. a record altogether without parallel in the history of the country. The redemption of United States paper currency has teen unusually heavy, amounting to $377,000.0J0 in the fifteen months ended with October. During the last two fiscal years there was rec iined nearly one-fifth of the whole estimated ttock of silver, an improvement, the report says, that is expected to increase the popularity and usefulness of this part of the currency. Contrary to exfectations, the Columbian souvenir cains have not, proved popular. Some of them were never taken out of tho T10 tsury and others have Veen returned for rcdemptii n. An arrangement has been in contemplation under which the half-dollars in the Treasury will bo tecoinod at the expense of the management of tho Exposition. It has not yet been decided what disposition is to be made of the quarter dollars of this coinage not disposed of. SECKETARY MORTON'S REPORT. The Head of the Agricultural Department Shows What He Has Pone, The Secretary of Agriculture, in his report subm tted to the President, regrets the vague character of the department organization, which he says, "offers opulent opportunities for the exercise of the most pronounced pater nalism, out no aaas tnat mere are many proper ways in which the Fed eral Government may legitimately serve the cause of agriculture. He devotes con-iiderablo space to a review of what he regards as an anomalous partnership between the Government of the United Stales and the gov ernments 01 1110 respective states for the conduct and encouragement of State agricultural co! leges and experiment stations. Referring to tho sum appropriated for the use of State experiment stations, he nys: "This appropriation is unlike any other pub ic moneys legislated out "of tho treasury of the Un.'tud Stales because there is no officer of the United States authoiized to direct, limit, control or audit it itemized expenditures." He suggests that the s a ior.s should be entiro'y divorced from tho de) artruent and the sum appropriated charged dire, tly to them, or that the Secretary should have s me power to direct and restrain thei;1 disbursements so us to insure a legitimate ex enditure of ti e same. He adds that in view of the rumirs that have obtained credence in 6ome of tho States and Territories to the effect that monej s appropriated to tho stations have been diverted from t'-eir legitimate purposes, a thorough invtv tigation should be made to dotnonstralb either the truth or falsity of such reports. In reference to expenditures the Secretary states that his strenuous endeavor, in view (it a depleted public trea ury und nf the imperative demands of taxpayers for economy in tho administration of the Government, has been to "rationally reduce expenditures by the elimination from the pay rolls of all persons not needed f n-an efiieiont conduct of the affairs of tho department." Tho distribution of roods at the public exi en-o is reviewed at length and its growth traced from tho year 1839, when Commissioner of Patents Ellsworth obtained an appropriation of $1,000 for the purpose of collecting and distributing raro varieties of teed and for other 1 urposo-. lie shows a considerable saving to have been effected in the pui chase and tho distribution of the seed this year.

Eight Men Attempt to Cut a lake Shore Freight in Two. Another desperate attempt to rob the Ivew vork last expre s, so. 11, on tbe Lake Shore Railroad was maie ma- Goshen, Ind., Satuiday night. The attempted hold-up was conducted on a plan now in the annai; of modern train robberies, says a Goshen dispatch, but was br ught to an end disastrous to the would-1 e robbers by the hercic re-istance 01 the train cew. The first ec tion of No. GO, a fast meat tr in, pulled cut cf Elkhart at lu:23, wi'.h orders to run toLigonnr without st pping. All teemed well with the train, but when about a mile out of Klkhart tho engineer. John Iiiekok, and two brakemen were attacked by eight men, who, it is learned, "had bearded the train at Elkhart and had been co"eea'od between the ears. Thov oe -powered the three trainmen w ho wore in the caboose and began uncoi pling the la t eight or ten ca-s. They were foi ed in this by the trainmen, as8'sttd by tho eng'nter and fireman, but to jld nt t be d Ken fivm the train. Five miles fart ,er t n a second attempt wts made, which was likewise unsuece&ful. Tne n ;xt four miles t Goshen witnessed a continual battle bstneen the train crew and the desparadoes for th? control of tho t a n. Conductor H ickok wa3 badly bruised and nomme'ed. as was also one of the I brakemen. The rcbters eecrred four watenss tolonging to tne tram crew and all the money they hud. Upon arriving at Goshen the engi neer whistled for hcl ), anl Officers J aire t Daton and Jerry Trump were cuickly on the scene. iut two if th; dospei adoes were captured. Tbe 1 la 1 of the robbers was one which would, if it had beon successfully carried out, have caused great loss of life and money. Tney were endeavoring to leavo a part of the fast freight standing on tho track, iuto which the Kew York expio s, which was following close after, would dash. In the consequent wreck the robbers expected to get away with considerable boc ty from the express car. Tho fast exprb s is the same train which was r tucceitful'y looted at k'essler twj m nths ago and is always a very hoavy train, never being made up of lo s t iali thirteen or fourteen cars. The two attacks have aroused the Lake Shore officials, and every means possible are being put forth to capture the six rob bers st.ll at large. ACT OF A DRUNKEN FIEND.

StomachLiver Cure The Most Astonishing Medical Discovery of the Last One Hundred Years. It Is Pleasant to the Taste as the Sweetest Nectar. It is Safe and Harmless as the Purost Milk. This wonderful Nervine Tonic has only recently been introduced into this country by the proprietors and manufacturers of the Great South American Nervine Tonic, and yet its great value as a curative agent has long been known by a few of the most learned physicians, who have not brought its merits and value to the knowledge of the general public. This medicine has completely solved the problem of the cure of indigestion, dyspepsia, and diseases of the general nervous system. It is also of the greatest value in the enre of all forms of failing health from whatever cause. It performs this by tho gret.t nervine tonic qualities which it possesses, and by its gr'H curative powers upon the digestive organs, the stomach, the liver and the bowels. No remedy compares with this wonderfully valuable Nervine Tonic as a builder and strengthener of the life forces of the human body, and as a great renewer of a broken-down constitution. It is also of more red permanent value in the treatment and cure of diseases of the lung;s than any consumption remedy ever used on this continent. It is a'tnarvelous cure for nervousness of females of all ages. Ladies who ar3 approaching the critical period known as change in life, should not fail to use this great Nervine Tonic, almost constantly, for the space of two or three years. It will carry them safely over tho danger. This great strcngthener and curative is of inestimable value to the aged and infirm, because its great energizing properties will give them a new hold on life. It will add ten or fifteen years to the lives of many of those who will use a half dozen bottles of the remedy each year. IT IS A GREAT REMEDY FOR THE CURE OF

Nervousness, Nervous Prostration, Nervous Headache, Sick Headache, Female Weakness, Nervous Chills, Paralysis, Nervous Paroxysms and Nervous Choking, Hot Flashes, Palpitation of the Heart, Mental Despondency, Sleeplessness, St. Vitus' Dance, Nervousness of Females, Nervousness of Old Age, Neuralgia, Pains in the Heart, Pains in the Back, v ailing Health,

Summer Complaint of Infants.

All these and many other complaints cured by this wonderful Nervine Tonic. NERVOUS DISEASES. As a cure for every class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been able to compare with the Nervine Tonic, whit?h is very pleasant and harmless in all its effects upon the youngest child c r the oldest and most delicate individual. Nine tenths of all the ailments to which the human family is heir are dependent on nervous exhaustion, and impaired diges

tion. When there is an insufficient supply of nerve food in the blood, a general state of debility of the brain, spinal marrow, and nerves is the result. Starved nerves, like starved muscles, become strong when the right kind of food is supplied; and a thousand weaknesses and ailments disappear as the nerves recover. As the nervous system must 6upply all the power by which the vital forces of the body are carried on, it is the first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not contain a suflicicnt quantity of the kind of nutriment necessary to repair the wear our present mode of living and labor imposes upon the nerves.

For tins reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be supplied.

This South American Nervine has

essential elements out of which nerve tissue is formed. This accounts for its universal adaptability to the cure of t il forms of nervous de
