DROPPED His END OF THE COFFIN
Henry Dusterberg is the head of the
leading undertaking firms in Gin
cihnati. An old lady, friend of his
family, had died, and Mr. Dusterbcrg
was giving personal attention to the OBJ
sequies. At the grave he assisted in
lowering the coffin. 1t was raining,
and the ground was muddy and very
slippery. An old man with an umbrel-
la was very curious to see the burial.
He came up close to the grave, stepping
behind Mr.. Dusterberg, and it is
thought accidentally pushed against
him with his umbrella. Mr.. Duster-
berg's feet slipped from under him,
causing him to fall and loosen his hold
on the coffin straps. His end of the
coffin fell into the grave with loud
noise, and he followed headforemost on
top of it. His head struck against
brass ornament in the shape OF a lily,
which adorned the lid Of the coffin,
making Il deep cash, about four inches
long, running from the left temple back
ward. He narrowly escaped breaking
his neck by throwing his hands in front
of him and thus lessening the shock of
the fall.
The accident caused much excite
ment and alarm among the mourners.
Mr.. Dusterberg lay i'll the grave for
moment. With difficulty he was lifted
out and taken home. A physician was
called, but without success, and Mr.
Dusterberg is now unconscious and dy-

TAX ON BRoKERs.-At meeting Of
the Board of Director of the Richmond
Chamber of Commerce held last week,
the chair laid before the meeting q let
ter from Messrs. Bruce Brothers,
brokers, of Danville, to Messrs. r. F.
Williams & Co., in which the writer
stated that under a recent decision of
the Supreme Court it was held that
brokers who sold goods for parties in
the same State were liable for tax in
the same way that commission mer-
chant is, or was, subject to the tax
under the law of the State in which his
Office was located. Under this decision
the writer stated that he would have to
give up all of his Virginia accounts,
and the inference from the letter was
that he could continue selling the goods
of his nonresident clients free of tax on
his sales as broker for said non-rcsi-
dents.
The chair said that Mr.. j. Randolph
Tucker had been requested to look into
the question. AS Mr.. Tucker was in
the building he was was sent for and
stated that III the case OF Flcklen, DC,
VS.. Tennessee, &C.. passed upon by the
Supreme Court of the United States
April 8, 1892, the court decided that
commercial broker in State doing the
business ofresidcnts and non-residcnts
is subject to State tax; but in the case
deciding this the court especially dis
claimed any opinion as to whether or
not such broker would be exempted
from State tax if doing the business of
non-residcnts only; and this question
is still an open one. He further said
the auditor of Virginia holds that the
simple fact that the broker is resident
in Virginia subjects him to the State
tax, and the decision referred to leans
that way, but it is very doubtful ques-
ton and can only be determined by the
auditor proceeding to collect the tax in
accordance with his views and the
broker taking the case to the courts.

Their Plan a Failure.

After session lasting three hours in
New York yesterday, the Richmond
Terminal reorganization committee for
mall.y announced that the plan pre-
posed by them was failure, and they
declared it imperative. One of the
committee said, in speaking of the ac-
tio1t: ''The attempt has resulted in q
com piete failure, and no mobilization
or q ;terations can be looked for. If any
further attempt is made to reorganize, it
mus be on entirely new lines and with
Il new committee. The present COM
mittcc will remain i'll existence in or
der to take care of the securities de-
posted under the plan"
Mr.. II. C. Fahnestock said he would
not be member of any new commit
tee. Other members of the committee
spoke in the same strain.
A caucus of Richmond Terminal
stockholders was held at the Office of
Work, Strong & Co., which was attend
ed by about twenty persons, including
Gen. Samuel Thomas, w. H. Goodby
and W. P. Clyde, about $50, 900 shares
Of stock being represented. 1t was de-
cided to appoint Il committee of three,
with w. L. Strong as chairman, who
will appoint his associates later. Mr..
Strong says the appointment of the
committee was simply for the purpose
of having them confer with the Olcott
committee, to find out if any assistance
could be rendered. 1t is thought, how
ever, that the meeting was held for the
purpose of arranging for new reorgani-
zation schemes. and that the commit
tee will report in favor of an assess
ment on the stock.
The following is the informal state
ment made by the reorganization COM
mittee of the Richmond and West
Point Terminal and Warehouse Com
pany, yesterday evening:
Holders of underlying securities hav-
ing failed to deposit an amount suffi-
cient to constitute basis for the pro-
posed issueI of bonds to enable the
committee to declare the plan effective,
the committee deems it proper to in
form the holders of certificates of the
Central Trust Company, and of the Sc
curitics of the Richmond and West
Point Terminal Railway and Ware
house Company and its auxiliary cor
porations of this fact. In the absence
Of adequate assent by the underlying
securities, contribution by the stock
holders of the Richmond Terminal
Company and the holders of other in
ferior securities may by necessitated.
As this would be in conflict with the
declared objects of the committee and
of the plan proposed by it, it cannot be
adopted as modification or alteration
of the plan. The present announce
ment is made to give opportunity to all
parties interested in the preservation of
the properties to take such action as
they may think best To that end the
Central Trust Company is willing in
the meantime to retain the custody of
the securities already deposited, and
the committee will continue in exist
cnce only so long as the interest of the
certificate holders shall require

TIE NEW YORK Herald saws

"Sentimon- is well enough in its way,
and there is no doubt that 4 very
strong popular sentiment has favored
the claims of Mr.. Cleveland. What
the democrats are after, however, is
not an expression of sentiment, but
solid votes. Prove that Mr.. Cleveland
can command, them and heopposition
of the party leaders would cease at
once. They hesitate not because of any
person feeling, but because it requires
Just so many ballots to elect man,
and Mr.. Cleveland cannot conjure them
from the Vastly deep"
Now, this is plain common sense. Mr..
Clcveland's most sanguinc friends in
New York do not pretend to believe
that he can carry that State, and no
wise man believes he can be elected
without the vote of New York. Why
then, should his name be included any
longer in the list ofpossible nominees?

HOUSE.

HOUSE.
The journal having been read Mr.
Walker, of Massachusetts, objected to
its approval. He did so for the reason
that the resolution to cxpungc certain
remarks of his from the record was q
special order for yesterday, but was
not called up. He wished to have the
matter disposed of and not left hanging
over his head during the remainder OF
the session to be acted upon possibly in
the closing hours Mr.. McAIillin, OF
Tennessee, moved that the journal be
approved, and on this motion demand
ed the previous question. As the re-
publicans did not vote and the demo-
Gratis could not muster a quorum, the
yeas and nays were ordered
Before the conclusion of the roll call,
however, Mr.. Walker Withdrew his OBJ
lection, the call, as far rs it had pro-
ceedcd, was eliminated from the record
and the journal was approved.
Mr.. Watson, of Georgia, objected to
Mr.. Holman's request that the call of
committees be dispensed with.
Under the call a bill was reported for
the survey of route of a ship canal to
connect Lake Erie and the Ohio river.
Mr. Boatner, of Louisiana, from the
committee on judiciary, reported (and
the House adopted without debate or
division) resolution requesting the at

nishcd the Department of Justice on
the subject of the Reading combine of
such character as authorizes him to
institute proceedings against the per-
sons who have combined in violation of
the antitrust law; and ifso to commun-
icatc that information to the House.
Mr.. Holman, of Indiana, wished to
proceed with the sundry civil bill, but
he was stopped by Mr.. Watson's de-
mand for the regular order" which
the Speaker stated to be the Walker
expunging resolution.
Mr.. Holman desired to raise the
question of consideration, but the
Speaker decided that that could not be
done as the previous question had been
ordered. Mr.. Walker himself asked
that the consideration of the resolution
be postponed, but Mr.. Watson was ada
ment and renewed his demand. So
once more did the resolution block the
track until it was shunted into the
round house of the committee on rules
by motion made by Mr.. Burrows, of
