both passenger and freight, are run

Chairman Z. E. Clark at midnight

by the strikers.
W1LKEsBARRE, PA, Nov. 30.-The
crowd that assembled at the Lehigh
Valley depot and freight yards this at-
ternoon was very disorderly. The
gathering was mostly composed Of NIL
ners and laborera and not few intoxi-
Gated. The strikers were noticed in tie
throng.
A nou-union freight conductor was
about to mount his train when a young
man in the crowd ran out on the rail-
road track and caught the conductor by
the leg. In an instant the police
pounced upon the intruder and placed
him under arrest. The crowd sur
rounded the officers and their prisoner
and began to yell, LET him go or we'll
hang you to the nearest tree" "let him

their man, however, and the entire
police force landed him in the lookup.

of ceremonies over 800 men, Elka and

among those present were some dis

Ex-Mayor Seabright, S 3. BrubaekeT,

Charles Grogan, OF Charleston, 10 Found
Dcad--Tal. S. NeaIe, Prominent Busi-
ness Man, says He Killed Him for u
HIghwnyman.
Special DiSpdteht TO the Mseliqeneen
CHARLESTON, W. Va, Nov. So.-The
neighborhood was startled this morn
ing by the announcement that Charles
Grogan, a well known gentleman, had
been found murdered about half amile
above here, in Dark Hollow. While
the coroner's jury was sitting on the
case, Tai. S. Noale, the popular young
business man connected with the Sing
er machine office, walked into the JUS
tice's office, gave himself up, and stated
that he had shot Grogan. He said he
was coming home, having collected
some money. When he reached the
hollow it was very dark, and a man
stepped out and caught the horse by
the bride. Neale thought it was a
highwayman, and fred. He came on
to town, not knowing whether he had
hit the man or not. He told several
persons OF the affair. His statement is
unsupported, but 10 Believed by many.
On the other hand, the friends and reIa'
tives of the deceased produce damaging
evidence against him, showing that
there had been a scutI1e. The dead man
had $50 on him when found. He is
spoken well Of by every one. The i'm
probable part of Neale's story seems to
be that the dead man had no weapon
and would not hold man up il he was
unMmcd. He was shot through the
lungs, and death was instantaneous.
The investigation will be continued to-
morrow. The prisoner gave bond in
$1,000, and went home to eat his
Thanksgiving dinner with his wife and
child. He is connected with some OF
the best families in the state, and came
formerly from Huntington.

WASHINGTON, D. G., Now 3o.-1t has
been definitely determined that the
income tax system to be reported by
the ways and means committee will be
confined to tax on the net incomes OF
all corporations and tax on succession
and legacies.
Messrs. Bryan, McMilIin, Whiting and
others made strong fight for a plan
broad enough to include allincomes of
individuals in sxcess-of 5000 per an
mum, but they have been forced to ac-
uuiesce In the will OF the majority and
abandon the graduated income tax in
favor OF one applying only 70 corpora
tions and SUGGESTIONS. The Democratic
members have now reached q definite
conclusion on this subject and it can
therefore be confidently announced that
the income tax system will be narrowed
down 10 these specific limits, unless the
recommendation OF the committee are
upset in the house and a general plan
for a graduated tax on all incomes, prI-
yate as well az cooperative be adopted.
The committee, in its report to the
house, will adopt unique argument
for restricting the system to corpora
tiona instead of applying it to all indi-
viduals. They will state that the great
est money earning powers OF the coun-
try are the corporations, while the risk
to individual stockholders is less than
the risk in any private business. The
corporations derive special advantages
from legislation, one OF which is that IN
the event Of commercial disaster the
stockholders are only liable TO the
extent of tho full value Of the
stock subscribed, and that to
effect these special advantages, they
should bear a generous burden OF the
expenses OF the government. The tax
on corporations, therefore, will not be
a graduated one, but will apply to all
net earnings of whatever aggregate.
This 10 an essential departure from the
time honored theory OF an income tax,
as most political economists have ta-
yored the graduated system imposing
nothing on incomes OF less than $1,000
per annum, two per cent on the excess
between s., 900 and $4,000; five per
cent on the excess between $4,000 and
$4,000, and one per cent on the excess
above $4,000.
The internal revenue taxon whisky is
still an open question. The commit
tees maintaining studious reticence
on this subject for tear OF the manipu-
lations of spectators on the stock ex-
change.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Nov. So.-The stu

and Chicago Gas Coal Company at
snowden and Gastonville, on tho
Wheeling division of the Baltimore and

miners. The only demonstrations made
