At least QUE third Of the valuable plants

The majority Of the Ways and Means Com
mittee are understood to favor the reduction
Of the whiskey tax.
The Tariff bill, in its present shape, is
likely to fail in the Senate. 1t 10 stated that
the opinion of the Treasury Department Is,
that it would reduce the present receipts Of
customs one.half, and thus render any reduc-
ton IN the internal revenue impossible.
The Ways and Means Committee have
reached no decision on the Gold Sale bill,
and the chances are against any interference
with the present Discretionary powers Of the
Secretary of the Treasury.
The Senate Finance Committee have agreed
TO sltef the Tariff bill by changing the spe-
ci6c duty on books to an ed valorem duty,
and fixing the duty on wines at Fifty cents per

A FRIGHTFUL SERIES OF Acct
DENTs.-On Thursday afternoon, just
before the tournament commenced at
the Henderson Fair, while number
of horses and buggies were being ex-
hibited in the ring, and just after the
:. ribbon had been tied on the win
ming horse, one of the animals be-
came frightened and by short turn
upset the buggy, throwing out the
driver, and then ran across the ring
frightening four other horses. and in
a moment all Eve horses were flying
around in the most frightful manner.
and the gate being opened by some
means, and the horses attempting to
rush out piled up in the gateway, cree
ating the utmost CONSERVATION among
the spectators who crowded the ann
phitheatre. The scene is represented
as indescribable. A sulky and one
buggy were left complete wrecks, and
two others were considerably dam
aged. Fortunately no individual was
injured.

A DANGEROUS RIDE AND. MIRACU-
LoUs EscAPE.-A little German girl,
who resides at Fort Branch, has been
going to school at Haubstadt, walk
ing back and forward morning and
night. On Thursday morning she took
the idea into her head that there. was
an easier method of making the Jour
ney, and to that end took her place on
the step of one of the cars of the
Bob Tail train, thinking to4ride down.
There being no signal shown at Haub-
stadt. and the train having no bust
ness:at that station, was not stopped,
the presence of the girl not being
known to the conductor. As the
train was running at full speed, and
the girl finding that she was likely to
be carried on to Evansville, she jumped
from the train, and was dashed heavi-
ly to the ground, and rolled for some
distance along the side of the road.
A crowd of people gathering around
her, attracted the attention of Con-
ductor Bush, who stopped his train
and. backed up to the scene of the ac-
cident, and was greatly gratified to
find that she was comparatively little
injured, being only a little nervous
and slightly bruised. The act was an
exceedingly foolish and dangerous
one on the part of the girl; and her
escape may be considered almost mi
raculous. Z This should prove a warn
ing to children who are in the habit
of getting upon passing trains and
jumping off while the train is in mo-
ton. E1# sN - :

DELAYED. = The train from the
North last night was, as we expected,
held back and did not arrive until
after midnight. The immense crowds
at the State Fair rendered this neces-
sary, as every one was anxious to get
off on the first train, and if the mail
train had been backed up thousands
would have attempted to get aboard,
where but few hundred could
have found room, and frightful acci-
dents would have ensued.
