Washington correspondent says tbs
Ways and Means Committee Of the House
has completed the first draft Of the new
tarif yAill and the work Of revision win
ssbogin Immediately. It is understood
that the committee has given copies Of the
1frst draft to Secretary Carlisle aud Presi-
dent Cleveland. The work Of construct
ing s3t1e bill has been largely in the hands
sof Chairman Wilson snd Mr.. Breckin-
ridge, of Arkansas. Both have worked
night; and day. The details Of the bill
are maintained aprofound secret. 1t is
sinderstco that the tax on beer has been
Increased; that duty has been levied
ION sugar and the bounty act repealed
that provision is made for an income tax
and the tax on whiskey will be increased.
The free LISTS also largely increased and
there is q general all -going-the-list cut on
manufactured goods. The work Of the
c6mmittee has been laborious and ear
Gnest, and the work is not half completed
Syet, as the revision Of the first draft will
! perhaps be more laborious than the orig
sssinal work Of compiling it. There may be
three or four revisions, but there is reason
80 believe that the bill be ready for pre-
5sentation the first week Of the regular
session Of Congress.

Mayor Carter Harrison, of Chicago,
who was murdered on Saturday night,
had fixed his wedding day for NoYem-
ber7 On that day be was to be married
to Miss Annie Howard, of New Orleans.
The ceremony was to be performed at
the home of the briie-elect in that oity.
According to the plans the wedding was
to be small affair. 1t was reported on
Friday that the mayor would charter q
special train from Chicago to New Or
leans for himself and party, which would
include his counsel, his two sons and
their families and several others.
- Frederick A. Loyecraft, who COM
mitted suicide in New York, last Thurs
da7, was driven to self-murder by his
love of money. Lovecraft was promi-
nent man in racing and theatrical cir
cles. The dream Of his life was to be-
come millionaire, and to achieve this
object he worked with tireless energy.
Sometimes his fortune would climb up
to $500, 900, and then reverses would re-
duce tho amount. Shortly before his
death he was worth 3l50,0O0. Disastrous
speculation caused him to lose SlOO.0Onn9
and it seemed to him that the pitiful
$50, 900 that was left was too insignificant
to give him another start in life. lie
went to bod with nervous prostration,
and embraced the first opportunity to
blow out his brains. The dead mans
friends say that he worked eighteen
hours day, never taking any recrea-
tion. He thought OF nothing, day and
night, but money, and the idea of pos
sessing million SO completely filled his
mind that when he saw no hope of ac-
curing it, life in his eyes, was not worth
living. So, at the age of forty-two, with
S5O. 900 in hand, Lovecr&t regarded him
selS as pauper and N an end to his
miaerV. {3|I9

Trouble is Brewing.

COLUMBIA, S. c., October o6.-'rhe
opposition OF the officials aud people of
the cities and towns in this State to the
dlspensary law and their lukewarInness
in enforcing its provisions, even when
violations are known to them and to
rybody else, has led Governor Tiilmau
to deter mine to try and take the police
appointing power out OF the hands of the
municipalities and place it in the hands
of the State authorities. His scheme has
been widely discussed in the State for
some time, and is meeting with violent
opposition on the part of citizens Of the
towns. It cannot be denied that in the
country the dispensary has the support
of the greater part of the population.
The Governors position is that where
the local authorities not only decline 10
enforce the law, but permit and even
encourage the violation. then it becomes
necessary to have officials who will
enforce the law and over whom the State
will have control. He says he would
prefer the cities and towns enforcing the
law and maintaining peace and order if
they would, without State interference.
He believes that they have not done
are apparently in rebellion against the
State authorities in connection with the
dispensary law. lie says that he at one
time asked Mayor Ficken, of Charleston,
to have the chief of police enforce the
law, which he claims the chief could have
done more efficiently than the State con-
stables. The Mayor refused to comply
with the request. Governor Tillman
claims that. practically the same thing
occurred in Sumter and other cities OF
the State.
AS the dispensary system depends for
its success solely upon its being
monopoly, Governor Tillman is deter
mined to do everything in his power to
have the law strictly enforced.
His plan is to have the police appointed
by commission to be chosen by himself
or by the Legislature. This commission
shall be intrusted with the appointment
of the police and the police shall be
amenable to the commission for the
proper performance of all their duties
whether in connection with the dispen-
sary law or not. Under the commission
it is to be so that these policemen can be
removed at any time for refusal to do
their duty or for neglect or inefficiency.
The police 30 appointed are to be treated
they were appointed by the city councils.
Iu6 ABOVE ~ ReueTdl OutlIuo VI LILO
Governors ideas on the subject but the
details of the plan must be arranged by
the Legislature.
Many people In South Carolina look
upon this scheme with alarm, and view
it as an evidence uf further eucroachment
upon their liberties. It is notable fact
that some of the Tillman papers are as
much opposed to the plan as the conser-
vativa ionrna1s are Nevertheless Gov.
ernor Tillman, in an interview to-day
reiterated his belief in the system, and
there can be little doubt but that he will
exert his vast influence with the Legis-
lature in having the bill passed. A hard
fight will be made against it but with
what result cannot be foretold, for the
Governor has large majority of the
members with .him.-Special to atlanta

: The balloon in which Prof. Haze

- The balloon in which Prof. Hazen
will try to cross the Atlantic will have
capacity OF 100000 feet, will be made
of gold -beater's skin, and will be inflated
with hydrogen gas. The anticipated
leakage IS only half of per cent day.
If il is four times as great the balloon
will still be able to remain in the air fif-
teen days. Before the voyage is made
there will be test from some point in
the West to New York, and if this turns
out as others have it will be the end Of the
trip. On the supposition that the Allan
tic voyage is begun its success Is predi-
Gated on having balloon that will stay
in the air, and on the strong air current
from west to cast found at 8 high altitude.
Prof. Hazen says that it is possible the
trip may be made in fifty hours.
- At tie census of 1850 nearly 3per
cent. of the colored population was
under ten years of age, while at the CEN
sus of 1890 only % per cent. was under
ten years Of age. Samuel e. Tatum, a
Washington negro, in explaining this,
says: ut may be fact that the colored
population is constantly falling off in its
increase, for which there may be great
many reasons. We should first take into
consideration the vast mum ber Of people
of color leaving the race yearly. There
are thousands who emigrate from the
South so light in complexion that in the
North they aIe supposed to be white, and
in this way vast numb ber of families in
the course of decade lose their identity
as people of color"

first service will be held in San Francis

Jerusalem, Rome and London will be
taken in on the way. The services are
to be entirely non-sectarian. Several
weeks will elapse between each service,
and it is calculated that the expedition
will take year in making its rounds,
and that it will cost each of the crusaders
about 81 900.

CARTER HARRISON SLAIN.
Chicago's Mayor Assass'nated in his Resi-
denoe.


CHICAGO, Oct. 2S.-Carter Henry Har-
rison, five times Mayor OF Chicago, ex-
Congressman, ex-County Commissioner,
editor, capitalist and author, was asNassi-
mated in his own residence, at 231 South
Ashland avenue, this evening at 8 o'clock.
Three bullets entered his body, and In
less than an hour after the first shot was
fred death ensued. The pan who did
the shooting was arrested and locked up
at the Des Plains street station. There
the man gave his name as Eugene Pat
rick Pendergast. He was at one time
member Of the Chicago police force.
sbow a that 5i f was premeditated and delib.
erately planned. at 7:50 O'Clock this
evening, man ran up the front steps Of
Mr.. Harrison's residence and rang the
door bell. Mary Fansen, the servant, an
swered the bell, and the man outside
asked for Mr.. Harrison. She said lie
would have to wait q moment, as Mr..
Harrison was asleep on the sofa in the
parior, at the same time going back
through the hall to call him, leaving the
door open. In q moment, Mr.. Harrison
stepped from the parlor into the hall. In
an instant, the man had drawn revolver
and fired, the shot entering the abdomen
lust above the navel. Two more shots
rang ont an instant later, the first Of
which entered the mayors body under
the left arm, penetrating the heart. Mr..
Harrison, when the first shot was fired,
had started toward the door, and the
second shot struck him when within q
few feet of the assassin. Mr.. Harrison
was SO close to the muzzle of the revolver
when the third shot was fired that the
ballet shattered one Of tho knuckles Of
his LEFT hand and the powder burned the
flesh.
81 Mr.. Harrison's coachman who was in
the rear Of the house when the first shot
was fired, ran into the hall and fired three
shots nt the man as he started out Of the
front door. The murde stopped for an
instant, turned about, and fred q parting
shot at the coachman. He then ran
down the front steps and passed rapidly
north on Ashland avenue.
