MUNoH CHUNK, Pa, Dec. 10.
f, At Stockton, about two miles from
HaEleton, about five O'Clock thls morn
Ing, the earth over u mine which had
not been worked for hheen years gave
way. One block OF houses was Bwal-
lowed up 30 quick that two families
living In them had not time to escape,
except one girl, who had fed from 4
house, but not far enough to escape
falling. She fell on top Of the houses
and was rescued. Three families living
In IN adjoining block had just escR ped
when the whole block went down,
There we're ten persona swallowed up
with the six houses. Geo. SWank, his
wife and four children, and Mr.. Retch,
bis wife, child and mother, were the
nnfortunates. They are still In the
mines, and must Ger tRlnly all be dead.
The Hazelton steam fire engine has
been throWlnga o continual stream on
the mines since daylight, and the fire>
men are doing all In their power. A
rope has been extended round the hole
and all persons are excluded from the
immediate vicinity.
Trains are running from Hazelton
every hour to the scene Of the disaster,

The income tax, It Is now said, will
probably he reduced 10 three per cent.
The following are advanced, amoug
other reasons. for this conclusion:
FirsL-the law Is odIouA from Its In.
quisItorial character. second-as a war
measure II ls no longer necessary; and
third, 1t expires by Limitation next
spring; but nobody supposes 1t Is 10 be
wholly dropped. The President favors
It's continuance under reduced rates.
The Secretary OF The Treasury recom-
mends its re-enaotmsnt at FIVE per cent,
on all income above ono thousand dol.
lars, and Commissioner Delano Is un.
derstood to hold similar Views, while
Special Commissioner Wells is reported
as favoring three per cent. rate, with
less deductions than are now given.
This difference OF Judgment among
leading officials will strengthen the
differences among congressman. The
reports show the receipts from
the Income tax OF last year 10
have been about $4,000, ,OO0-an in.
crease ofBome q. .0O0. 900 over the pre-
vious year. The receipts Of 1867 were
S57, ,000, 900; but the returns ofthis year,
considering the changes made thai
year In the law, are greater In pronor.
ton than those of 1867, and the argu-
nent OF Congressman who favor re-
duCtlon is that q three per cent tax
honestly assessed and collected will
yield about as much revenue as we
now get. II 10 reported at Washington
that two OF the strong members OF the
Committee on Ways and Means are
pretty certain to favor three per
cent rate, and II 10 not known that
any Of them will go for the total abol.
ltion Of the tax. II Is known, how
ever, that the members OF the Senate
Finance Committee are divided In their
opinion on the question OF q three or
i've per cent rate, but all are under
stood 10 be for its retention In some
form. The present indications are that
three per cent rate will finally be
adopted. S.E-. -Ur
