Blazing Logs In the Fireplace.

NEW MILFORD, Conn, Dec. Ia horri-
bic discovery was made in farmhouse six
miles above here by the neighbors of Mi
chael Hennessy, a farmer who has long
been known as quarrelsome fellow. For
over a week neither Hennessy nor his wife
has been seen about the farm. The bleat-
ing Of the cattle in the barn annoyed the
neghbors so much that they visited the
premises and made an investigation They
found Hennessy's wife unconscious in a
room in the house, without any clothing
on and her body mass Of burns Her hus-
band was lying on the floor, stupid from
the effects of drink.
Mrs. Hennessy, as well as she could, told
the neighbors that her husband a week ago
last Wednesday, while drunk, took hold Of
her and dragged her TO the open fireplace
and pushed her in over the blazing logs,
setting her clothing afre. lie looked ON
the scene with great delight while she
burned, and he laughed at her agony. He
refused to call in medical assistance after
ward, and the woman has suffered untold
pain for over a week.
A physician who attended the woman
says that gangrene has set in and that she
cannot live Hennessy has been arrested
aud has been threatened with violence by
the townspeople. Great excitement pre-
walls over the affair.

INCOME TAX MODIFIED.
Only Corporations and Legacies
to Be Included.
DEFINITE CONCLUSION REACHED,

The Tax on Cigarettes aud Playing Cards
TO Be Increased RadicaiIy-New Ships
Needed Vor the avy-Thanlssgiving at
the Capital.
WASHINGTON, Dec. LIT has been def
nitely determined that the income tax sys-
TEN to be reported by the ways and means
COMMITTEES will be confined to a tax on the
net incomes of all corporations and tax
on succession and legacies. Messrs Bryan,
McMillin, Whiting and others made
strong fight for plan broad enough to in
clude all incomes Of individuals in excess
Of 5000 per annum, but they have been
forced 60 acquiesce in the will Of the ma
iorty and abandon the graduated income
tax in favor of one applying only to corpo-
raiions and SUGGESTIONS
The Democratic members have now
reached definite conclusion on this sub
iect, and It can therefore be confidently an
nounced that the income tax system will
be narrowed down TO these specific limits
unless the recommendations of the COM
mittee are upset in the house and a general
plan for a graduated tax on all incomes,
private as well as cooperative, be adopted.
The committee, in its report TO the house,
will adopt a unique argument for restrict
ing the system TO corporations instead OF
applying il TO all individuals. They will
state,Siat the greatest money earning pow
ers o. the country are 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
event of commercial disaster the stock
holders are only liable to the extent Of the
full value of the stock subscribed, and that
to offset these special advantages they
should bear generous burden Of the ex-
penses of the government The tax on cor
porations, therefore, will not be graduat-
ed one, but will apply to all net earnings
of whatever aggregate.
To Tax Cigarettes aud Cards.
This is an essential departure from the
time honored theory Of an income tax, as
most political economists have favored the
graduated system, imposing nothing on
incomes Of less than 5000 per annum, 2
per cent on the excess between 5000 and
$40, 600, per cent on the excess between
$50, 900 and $4,000 and 10 per cent on the
excess above $4,000
II a system applying to individuals had
been adopted, there is no doubt IL would
have been such a graduated plan as this.
but since &c Is TO apply TO corporations and
SUGGESTIONS only it will be upon the net
earnings of the corporation and the gross
amount Of the succession or legacy. Sue
cessions and legacies in this connection Of
course apply only TO personalities and
moneys The Democrats Of the committed
have also decided to increase the tax radi.
cally on cigarettes and to impose a tax on
playing cards Both Of these points are
definitely decided, the object on the ont
hand being to tax nuisance" and on the
other to tax an article which can bear q
heavy burden without any individual feel
: ing the weight of It..

A pleasanter fall day never shone over

Harvard surprised even her most en-

hard TO whitewash the pennsy lvanias but
they could not do it, The Quakers did not
come up here for nothing, and their touch

bad defeat. Harvnrd's playing was im-

rushed down ready to gobble him in their
arms, and then dash ahead, aided by i'm
promptu interference, and gain on his own
nerve, pluck and brilliant playing. Brewer
was good ON kicking too. He made fin,
tackles and in general did the best work
on the Harvard side. Brewer was hurt ant
