WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-The meeting
of the ways and means committee
yesterday was brief, The estimates
showing the probable difference in the
revenue resulting from the new bill
were not complete, and the committee
adjourned until Monday. The labor
of estimating the revenue under the
new tariff bill has progressed far
enough to warrant the statement that
on the basis OF the imports of 1892
the loss OF revenue resulting from the
enactment of the new bill and the re-
peal of the Mckinley act will be about
$50, 000,00 per annum. This is on
the suppositlon that imports under
the new bill will be no ,reater than
under the present law. 1t is the con-
clusion of Chairman Wilson and his
associates that importations will be so
stimulated under the new bill chat
the loss of revenue will not be over
5000, 900. This deficit it is pro-
posed to make up by the tax on the
incomes of corporations, on success
sions and playing cards, by increas-
ing the tax on cigarettes and perhaps
whisky. Tarsney clings to the be-
lief that the diicit cannot be supplied
without extending the income tax to
individuals. The Democratic MEM
bers OF the committee ON ways and
means met to-day to further consider
the income tax and internal revenue
schedules, In relation to whisky,
expressions of members OF the COM
mittee give no reason for believing
the increase would exceed 10 cents
per gallon and some think it is doubt
full whether there be any increase at
all or not. The subcommittee is de-
batting the advisability OF making any
increase in the whisky tax applicable
to all the whisky on hand at the time
the new tariff law goes into effect.

A REVENGEFUL NEGRO.
SEVERAL PERSONS WERE POISONED


MONTGOMERY, Ala, Dec. A
wholesale poisoning is reported from
Fort Deposit. On Thanksgiving day
negro by the name of Nathan Lamb,
alias Sellars, had grudge against
Mr.. +. NJ. Searcy, proprietor OF the
Houston house, and placed some
trough on rats on the turkey after
it had been upon the table for the
guests. Those who ate of IL We're
suddenly taken sick. The next day
the negro put some of the poison in
the drinking water and upon the beef
stake. The result was the poisoning
of Mr.. Searcy, his wife and daughter,
Miss Mcqueen and several drummers.
Two came very near dying from the
effects of the poison. The negro was
arrested, has confessed and his trial
is now pending. Lynching is talked
of, but it is thought it will not take
place unless some of the victims die.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.--It has
been agreed f0f several days that the
Democratic members of the ways and
means committee had settled the
matter of an income tax by limiting
such tax to the income of corpora
tions. 1t has been given out from
the committee itself that those who
believed in imposing personal or in
dividual income tax had abandoned
any further fight on that line. From
this and from congressman came the
further report that the reason that
these members who favored the indi-
vtdual income tax abandoned their
fight was because Mr.. Cleveland was
opposed to such tax. The
Democratic members of the com
mittee who opposed the indi-
vidual income tax were Chairman
Wilson, Cochran OF New York, and
Stevens of Mas achusetts, The other
democraticl members, namely, Nc
Millin of Tennessee, Turner OF Geor-
gia, Montgomery of Kentucky, Whit
ney OF Michigan. Bryan OF Nebras ka,
Bynum Of Indiana and Tarsney oil
Missouri were said to be again such
a tax. Hence the report that Mr..
Cleveland had thrown his influence
with the minority on the proposition
received credence because il cou d
not otherwise he expla ned why tho
majority had yielded. But the IN
iority, if it eyer yielded has recon
sidered its action Demo r;tie mem-

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-The inter
nal revenue bill has not come out yet.
1T is said that the reduction contem-
plated in the tariff bill will amount to
$40, 900, 900 or $50, 900. 900 per annum.
If this is the case, and there is no
reason to doubt it, then this deficit
must be made up by the internal
revenue tariff. The report is in cir
culation that the income tax, as far
as it applies to individuals. has been
abandoned. Messrs. Wilson OF West
Virginia, Stephens of Massachusetts
and Cochran of New York were OPP
posed to this, and so the report goes
that Mr.. Cleveland with these three
and the committee concluded to
abandon the income tax as far rs in
dividuals were concerned. Had il
not been for Cleveland 5 opposition the
committee would have brought in
an income tax bill anyhow. On
all sides it is agreed that Mr.. Cleve
land was opposed to an out and out
income tax law. But it is proposed,
so says report, to tax the income oil
corporations and to put tax on in.
heritances. The whisky tax will be
raised, but how much no one can
state. There may be tax on certain
articles, such as playing cards and the
like, but of these nothing is definitely
known. Mr. McMillin says that there
was perfect accord in the committee
on the bill reported, though here and
there individuals on the committee
would have liked certain articles taxed
higher, lower or put on the free list
but there had to be concessions made
in such matters as these and they
have been made. He said the bill
would be presented to congress tho
first week of the meeting, but he die
not think it possible to pass it before
the holidays.

Shocking Accident.

MILAN, Italy, Nov. 30.--An express
train bound from this city to Venice
came into collision with heavy
freight train which was standing on
the track at the limits of the first sta
ton between Milan and Trevignio.
Relief trains were Immediately dis
patched to the scene, and thirteen
dead bodies have been removed from
the wreck and twenty wounded peo-
pie have been brought to the hospitals
of this city. The collision occurred a
few minutes before midnight Tuesday
night. The heavy freight train was
late, and owing to fog, it wasordered
on the siding to let the other train
pass. The Milan express came along
before the freight had switched and
dashed into the engine of the freight
train. Both engines were completely
shattered. Two passenger carriages
were smashed to pieces. The fire
boxes of the engines were broken by
the shock and the contents were
thrown over the wrecked carriages
in which a number of corpses and
injured were lying, the latter pinned
down unable to help themselves. The
woodwork of the ruined cars took fire
and was soon burning furiously. A
scene of the most horrible description
ensued. The injured were screaming
for help; the air was filed with blind
ing smoke and steam from the boilers
and everything was in the greatest
confusion. The employees at the rail-

of the victims met horrible deaths,

spectators. who were poweress TO
help, owing to the impossibility of re-
moving the heavy woodwork, with
which they were surrounded. Other
unfortunates were eXtricated only to
die in the arms of their rescuers.
After the fire was extinguished the
injured and the bodies of the dead
were recovered from the smoulderiug
debris. The corpses presented u
sickening appearance. Some were
disemboweled. Others had the arms
and legs crushed and were mutilated
beyond recognition. The injured
were also in terrible condition, All
were suffering from burns and most OF
them had broken limbs. In some cases
the immediate amputation of arms or
legs was necessary. By 6 o'clock
yesterday morning thirteen dead
bodies and twenty-five injured We're
recovered. The authorities declare
that signal was exposed to warn
the Milan express, but it is supposed
the engineer was unable to see it on
account of the fog.
