Notices were posted at Roam Junction and
at all stations on the Tamaqua, Hazleton and
Northern branch OF the 7. & R. railroad on
Friday to the effect that all operations on
that branch would cease after to-day This
suspension is caused by the action of Coke
Bros. q Co. in transferring their coal ship
ments from the p 4 R. to the Lehigh Valley.
The Tamaqua, Hazleton and Northern branch
was built about two years ago at great
expense from Lofty to Roam Junction to
connect with the D., s. & S. and for the sole
purpose of carrying Coxe's coal. No passenger
or freight trains are run over the road and
nearly all the coal engines will be given work

main line,

Nicholas Plowchen, aged 20 years. His as
saiant was Joseph Bashista Hungarian
residing at shanty Hill, patch located be.
tween Ashland and Centralia.
The attack was murderous one and DR..
Hocherner, who attends the victim, says the
wounds are of a very dangerous character.
There are four wounds in the back and one
on the back of the neck They are from
four to six inches deep and about eight inches
long.
The instrument with which the cut.
ting was done must have been
a carving knife, or something similar to
it. 1t has not been found.
Bashsta disappeared Immediately after
the bloody work and is supposed to have
sought refuge with friends at shanty Hill. A
warrant was sworn out for his arrest thi.
afternoon and an effort will be made to cap
ture him.
This afternoon DR.. Hochlerner said Plow-
chen's temperature was lO5 and his condition
was very serious.
Plowchen says that there was no cause 70
the attack, but it is believed that jealous,

THE CLUB DIsBANDs.

Several Of the BAN Players Have Gone to
Their Homes.
The experience at the Trotting park yes
terday disbeartened the management of the
local base ball club and this morning the
players were notified that the season was at
an end. Several of the players started at
once for their homes. Fox went to Potts
town, Bauswine to Philadelphia, and Frank
and Ed, Henry to Frankford. They left on
the 1l:i5 a. m. Pennsylvania train. Toman
will start at pos tomorrow morning for his
home in Philadelphia and Belts will leave
on the same train for his home in st. Louis,
Mo. Martin will also start tomorrow for
Pittsburg. Ward has not fixed his time for
departure, but will start for Altoona before
the close of the week. Setley says he is here
to stay and will get some kind of work to
keep him here all winter. Messitt will leave
Tor Philadelphia on Wednesday. He will
probably sign for next year before leaving.
He says he likes Shenandoah and will be
more than pleased to play here next season,
but there is some likelihood that
he will play at Louisville, KY,
with the national league club. If he does
not go he will play with Shenandoah in 1894
Bradley has not made up his mind about
leaving, but will probably 90 to Philadelphia

The Comic opera, ''Little tycoon"

The Comic Opera, "Littie Tycoon"
Comic opera without a topical song or two
would hardly be comic opera up to date, or
rather up to the liking of the many people
who are fond of that style of entertainment.
Yielding to that plainly expressed general
desire, Mr. Willard Spenser has written a
catchy topical song which bears the taking
title Of That's What 1 Think Don't You 2"
AS the name indicates, the theme of the song
is rather elastic in character and admits of
numerous aud varied hits at the latest
developments in politics. social and local
doings the fashions, the ladies, the dudes and
all of the many foibles of the day, 1t will
be sung by the comedian during the second
act of ''The Little Tycoon" when that opera
is done at Fergusons theatre, on the night OF
Friday, October goth.

Members of the ways and means

The Governor on Taxes.

The Governor yesterday submitted to
the General Assembly special mes
sage on the subject of taxation. In
the outset he contends that property
should be assessed at its true selling
value at voluntary sale, and that the
statute should be changed so as to pro-
vide for such assessments.
To arrest alleged inaccurancies-in as
sessments, he mentions several sugges-
tons that have been made along this
line, all of which he advises the Legis-
lature to consider.
He then speaks of the difficulty of
getting at the true value of personal
property for assessment and calls at
tention to the fact that the law is now
so defective that the real estate of Vir-
ginia is assessed at $500, III, 366, while
the assessment of personal property is
$95, SGS,0S1. Real estate pays 81, 206,-
500, and personal property but 1884,
OIL.
The Governor comes out boldly for q
tax on incomes and says that no tax is
more just. There are many modes, he
says, of ascertainipg incomes. One is
to make examination of the tax payer
under oath and not allow man to
make his own assessment. Another is
to allow the officer to make assessments
and if the taxpayer is not satisfied, he
can appeal. Another is to have
special grand jury examine into the
matter. Both corporations and indi-
viduals, he says, should be required to
pay. this tax. He believes, also, that
the tax should be graduated, being
merely nominal until you reach 5000,
and increase as the income increases.
The Governor refers to the railroad
tax, and says that the mode of assess
ment is not satisfactory. He also IA
vors the collateral inheritance tax, and
believes that the State may with pro-
priety collect such tax.
The Governor mentions the fact that
some Ststes levy tax on special acts
of the Legislature, and suggests that
such tax would be entirely proper in
Virginia. He mentions the fact that
out of l 800 pages of Acts of Assembly
in 1SS9-90. 1,043 were private and 252
pages public acts. He believes that
The special acts should be separated
from the general, because as the acts
are now presented, the few general
laws are last in the mass of private
acts, in which the general public has
no interest.
In conclusion, he recommends that q
special tax commission, to be composed
of five competent men from various
parts of the State, be created to con-
slider the general question of taxation.
They should be instructed to inquire
into the system adopted in other States
to raise revenue, and to provide for
more just and equitable system of taxa
ton of all kinds of property, and for
more effectual system of assessment
AID collections of taxes.

WEDNESDAY EVENING. DEC 10. 1893

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND, in his letter
accepting his third nomination, in his
inaugural address, and in his annual
message to Congress, took the most
pronounced stand in favor of the demo-
cratic view. that the imposition of taxes
for the protection of special interests is
contrary to the spirit of the Constitu-
ton and yet the democratic members
of the ways and means committee OF
the L. S. House of Representatives,
said to be perfectly subservient to his
wishes, have prepared tariff bill that
is even more EXCEPTIONALLY protective
to the South than the Mckinley bill, in
that while it removes protection from
the raw products of the southern States,
it continues tariff tax of about forty
per cent. on the articles made of such
free raw materials, for the special pro
lection of the manufacturers of those
articles in the North. Simple justice
demands that if the products of the
South be compelled to compete on
equal terms with those of foreign coun-
tries ,sthe same should be done with
those of the North.

FIFTY THIRD CONGRESS.
SENATE.

The Senate insisted upon its amend
ment to the New York and New Jer-
sey Bridge bill and ordered further
conference.
After the routine morning business
was disposed of, the Hawaiian resolu-
ton offered on Monday last by Mr..
Hoar, was laid before the Senate, and
Mr.. Frye addressed the Senate. Mr..
Frye directed his attention particularly
to the statement of Mr.. Gray last Mon
day that the .. S. flag had been dishon-
ored and made to cover an act of piracy.
That statement, of course, (Mr. Frye
said) could only refer to the conduct of
Mr.. Stevens as minister to Hawaii. He
gave sketch of Mr.. Stevens's history
and said The President of the United
States could and did lin spite of consti
tuition and law make Mr.. Blount para
mount to Mr.. Stevens but, in intelli-
gence, in education, in integrity of
character, in familiarity with affairs, in
experience of life, and especially of pub
lie life, in knowledge of international
law, in acquaintance with the usagts
and requirements of diplomacy, in de-
votion to the interess and honor of his
country, in fidelity to our Christian
civilization, Mr.. Stevens is paramount
to Mr.. Blount; and no President-not
even Mr.. Cleveland, with all his power
could change that condition.
Mr.. Frye also declared that Mr..
Blount, in his report, had not written
one single unvarnished line of truth.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Frye's
speech the Senate was addressed by
Mr.. Vest who said if he had the pow
er, he would withdraw every shadow
of United States authority from the
Hawaiian Islands and would leave the
opposing factions to settle the question
of sovereignty for themselves. For
the United States government TO put
the Queen back on her throne would
be an act of war. And he did not be-
