That the bill will be reported to the house next week admits of no doubt, Wednesday will probably bo the day. It is likely that the consideration of the bill will be commenced in the house just prior to the holidays. There must be a considerable Tevenue raised.in some way, the cutting of duties on the neces saries of life making this imperative. The imposing of an incomo tax finds many advocates, not because they be lieve in such a measure per so, but preferable to the position. It is probable that the tax on playing cards, cigarettes and inheritances will be increased, and a 1 per cent tax oncer- tain corporate investments imposed. These features have not, as yet, been de- decidod upon, but this or something sim ilar will be adopted. VoorhcM to The Front.

Va„ Dec. 7.—Fire was dis covered in building No. 15, 'steam Jengra* eering and general stores at the navy yard, at 7:80 a. m. The alarm brought out the fire department of the navy yard and the city of Portsmouth. The origin of the fire is unknown, but is thought to be a defective fixe. It started on the second floor, where a lot of waste was stored. The building was 7tx250 feet, and two stories high. It was entirely destroyed with its con tents. It is impossible to state the loss, but it is thought it will reach $350,000. An inventory of the contents of the building were taken recently. The pa pers were saved. Her Body la the Rains. Birmingham. Ala., Dec. 7.—The resi dence of Mrs. Lucy W. Wright, in Bes semer, a suburb of this city has been de stroyed by fire. The body of Mrs. Wright was found in the ruins. She was supposed to have had a considerable amount of money and it is believed that she was murde: -*1 and the house set on fire to conceal the crime. Then Cady slipped out and borrowed a revolver, and, on his return, induced his wife to leave the house on an errand. When she had left he placed the revolver to the head of his eight-year-old daughter Bertha and shot her dead. He next killed little Walter in a similar manner. He then aimed a shot at his son Bert, but missed, and Bert ran out and summoned lii« mamma. Mrs. Cady’s arrival was apparently most opportune, for little Hazel, the baby daughter, stood by in baby wonder, and would probably have been the next victim. Instead, when Cady saw his wife, he pat the smoking muzzle to his own head and sent a ball through his brain, in spite of his wife's entreaties. Mrs. Cady picked Bertha’s body up and grasped Hazel by the hand and ran out, not realizing at the time that the child she carried was dead. Mrs. Cady believes that it was her husband’s intention to kill the entire family. To Sell Only a Fart. Chattanooga, Dec. 7.—Judge H. B.
