WESTERN UNION RESIsTS.

An Effort to Collect a z Per Cent. In
come Tax to be Fought in Court.
EUFAULA, July 23.-The Alabama law
levies tax of ? per cent. on gross re-
ceipts, but when Tax Collector Bennett
went to the Western Union office yester-
day to collect this tax the manager here
refused payment. The Tax Collector then
said he would wait until to-day and if the
tax was refused he would levy on and
close the office. Accordingly he returned
this morning and demanded the per
cent. levy, which was again refused.
Whereupon he sought an attorney and
proceeded to levy on the Office, fix
lures and lines in the county and to
close the Eufaula office, but rather than
inconvenience the public in the dispatch
of business, the Western Union Company
paid the amount, $ll9 %, under protest,
AMI will have the case contested. 1t is
said that the Western Union Company is
resisting the payment of this . per cent.
tax throughout the State, and already has
a case en- route to the United States Su-
preme Court.

A BLOODY APACHE CHIEF.
An Indian in Washington Who
Murdered Family.
From the Washtn0to7, Post.


From the Washington Post.
Chaco, one of the thirteen Chiracahua
Apaches now in this city, is one of the
most famous chiefs of the Apache race,
and is the same one who gave Gen.
Crook so much trouble to catch in 1888,
but was finally captured with his band
among the mountains OF Mexico by the
late Capt. Crawford. Since that time he
ana his peOple-have lived under military
supervision at Fort Apache, in Arizona,
and have become peaceable, hard work
ing Indians. It has been stated that these
Apaches lived on the San Carlos reserva-
ton, but that is not 80. Their visit to
this city was arranged for by Gen. Miles
and Secretary Lamar, and they desire to
be allowed to rem ain in their present loca-
ton, instead OF being moved to the Indian
Territory. 1t was not until they reached
Washington, however, that Sec
rotary Lamar knew who was
in the party. 1t Is charged that Chaco
was the ringleader in the murder
of Capt. McCOmas and his wife, who lived
near Silver City, in New Mexico. Cap
tured by surprise Capt. McComas was
tied up at the door post of his home, while
his wife was tiendishly tortured and out
ragged before his eyes. Husband and wife
were then Drained with club and s9alped.
while their little eight-year-old boy Willie
was forced to witness the scene Of horror.
Willie was carried Off by his captors and
has not been heard of since.
Such is in brief the charge against the
visitor who is being entertained here.
Chaco has never been tried for his
crimes, the government being satisfied
to pursue the humane course of peace
and allow him and his people to become
the
gresham, when he learned that Chaco,
was in the city, went to Secretary Lamar
yesterday and requested that he should
be detained and tried for the murder OF
the McComas family; but the Secretary
replied that he, with the rest OF the dele
CATION, had come here under promise
OF protection, and he could do nothing
with him but send him back to Fort
Apache, and to the military superv islon
under which he has been for the last three
years. To reporter last night Secretary
Lamar said that he had been told of the
charges against ChacO. He had also been
told that although it was, without doubt,
Chaco's band which perpetrated the
horrible outrage on the McComas
family, that Chaco was not present
at the time. 1t was through Cbaco's intlu-
ence that the Chiracahus, over whom he
has great power, were persuaded not to
Join Geronimo In his present rebellion.
He has, since his capture, been a good
and peaceabe Indian. Ii it could be
proved that ChacO committed the Nc
Comas murder, the Secretary said, he
ought to be brought to justice, but Wash
ingtOn was not the place to try him. He
should send him back to Fort Apache,
andthen it would be for the War Depart
ment to determine what course to pursue
in this case,

NEW HAVEN, CoNN.,guly 20.-Through
the bravery Of two urchns named Christy
Holston and Willie Kehoe, aged 10 years
respectively, who were on their way to
the woods in Orange to trap birds, seri-
Gus railway accident was prevented on
the Derby railroad today. The road runs
through a deep cut known as the Allng-
ton cut about three miles west OF the
city On their way out they discovered
that a huge boulder weighing about
six tons had fallen on the track.
Just then they heard the approaching
passenger train on it's way to the city.
and they ran toward the train with ali
speed. Holston hastily picked up a stick
and jerked out an old tattered red ban
dana handkerchief, which ne tied to the
stick and waved it as "A signal, seeing
which the engineer concluded to stop.
Many of the passengers cheeks blanched
when they saw the danger which had
been thus averted. EX-Gov. Andrews,
Sheriff Gates and other prominent Off
Gals were on the train.
The little boys were at once made
heroes of, and a lawyer passed the hat
and collected $40 in silver for them. 1t

READING, July 22.-There is being COM
pleted at the Scott foundry in this city,
under the direction of Col. Norman Wizard
a breech-l loading, chambered twelve-inch
combined rifle and smooth-bore gun, from
which great results are anticipated. AS
soon az il is finished 1t will be taken to
Washington for test before the Ordnance

1t will be fred thirty times an hour in
this Test, with a charge of 300 pounds OF
powder and a projectile of 600 pounds

that under this test 5000 pounds of pow
der will be consumed and $4,000 pounds OF

OF work estimated in foot-pounds per hour
far greater than can be performed with
equal safety by any gun now in possession

They are fleeing from the drought preva-

THE GATE CITY AFLOAT.
Her Cargo Not Badly DamaSed-To

BosToN, July 23.-Several meetings Of
the Board Of Marine Underwriters nave
been held to consider the matter OF sur
render to them of the steamer GATE CITY,

are most heavily involved, that their pro-
portion Of the expenses would
be forthcoming. The insurance on
the Gate City is 5000, 900, Of which $l5O,0)O
IS in foreign companies. The remaining
$50, 900 is held as follows: Boston Marine

THE STEAMER AFLOAT.
WOoD's HOLE, MASS, July 23.-The
steamer Gate City, which has been ashore
in ''lhe Graveyard" NausnOn Island, was
got of at l O'Clock D. m, and is passing
up the sound in tow.
THE DIVERS STORY.
NEW BEDFORD, MASS, July 23.-The
tug Elsie, Of the Wharf Company, arrived
here tonight with W. ID. Duncan, the
chief diver, on board. Mr.. Duncan SAID
that all the compartments OF the Gate
City were fun OF water when the fruit
and vegetables were removed and the
flood gates were opened letting the water
flow amidships, where four pumps were
stationed. AS soon as the pumps were
started the steamer rose huoyantly. The
canvas boat worked admirably, and soon
the only water that remained was in the
false bottom, where it could do no harm.
The keel forward is rolled up for dis
lance OF about fifteen feet, and there is
long tear on the starboard side, which
had previously been filled with old rags
and anything else that came handy. The
Elsie was at Vineyard Haven procuring
coal when the Gate City was loated, but
soon Joined in the work of towing the
steamer to that place.
BESIDE THE COLUMBUS.
There the Gate City was put alongside
Of what remains of her sister boat, the
City of Columbus, with lighters on each
side of her, and was kept tree with little
effort. Mr.. Duncan came here for the
purpose of procuring another boat similar
TO the one he has been using, but longer
and higher, and work has already been
