PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 21.-In sudden
flt of ungovernable anger Mrs. Mary Tag
gart last night stabbed to death with .
single knife thrust, her son Thomas
Davis, a 17year-old boy, by former
husband.
The Taggart family, consisting of John
Taggart, Mrs Taggart, their 7-year-old
boy and young Davis, lived in the attic of
a cheap lodging houss at $40 North Ninth
street.
TaggArt did little towards providing
for the family and the 81 week earned
by his stepson was the main support OF
ths needy household.
When Thomas came home last evening
he asked his mother why she was never
ready to eat supper with him. The boy
was seated at the table at the time and
his question enraged the woman and she
turned suddenly from the stove, where
she was cooking buckwheat cakes and
thFust knife into the breast of her SON
He died in a few minutes and an officer
arrested Mrs. Taggart.

auce Tax Inci eased.
ALBANY, Jan 2t.-State Comptroller

ture his annual report for the past year.
In it he says;
"There is now practically no State
debt and the States finances are in a
satisfactory and sound condition. The
balance in the Treasury Oct. i, 1891, was
81, 549, 75l; receipts from all sources dur

"The total capital Of the several trust
funds OF the State In cash and securities
at the close OF the fiscal year, valuing in
Vestments at par, was SO, 16S, 1856
Referring to the county loans, he sayst
The loan commissioners do not seem to
understand the responsibility Of their
duties, and great care should be exercised
in the examination of all outstanding
loans.n
He suggests that the Inheritance Tax
law be so amended that the rate be fixed
at l per cent. upon estates over $40, 900
and up to 100000; . per cent on all
sums over $780, 600 up to $5OO,OOO; 3 per

in excess Of S1,OO00OO He says: "By

Tho PrssideAt's Proclamation Regarding
Canada to Relate to Transhipment OF
Mershandiss 80 hr. Blaine's Condition
UnshAngad--A Compromiss Quarantine
BnI-vsts en- Anticipation Tuesday.
WASHINGTON, Jan. Alt is whispered
about among Democrats that Mr.. Clovs-
land has practically completed his Cabi-
net alnte, and one by one men who have
expected to get on the list are abandoning
their hopes.
The only thing that holds the matter
open at all ia said to be some uncertainty
as to the course OF Mr. Dickinson The
slate is said to be made up contingent
upon his acceptance Of the State port
folio, and, il he accepts, the slate will be
turned tace down and allowed to remain
SO until March 4.
The understand ng Of the Michigan
people is that he will accept, though he
has not formally done so as yet. He is
holding the matter open, as Carlisle did,
with the prospect o, a similar result
Some time ago NJ Cleveland concluded
that he would not appoint a Southern
man to the position Of Attorney General,
but there is excellent authority to-day
for the statement I at he has reconsid-
cred this and has slated ex-senator Eustis
Of Louisiana for the place.
Eustis WAS an auJi-Cleyeland man be-
fore the inclination and he and Cleve-
land were at outs, but the ex-Sen ator
took an active part in the campaign and
| the two men are now on very friendly
terms. If Eustis b. appointed, the South
will probably get either the Postofice OF
the Agricultural Department also, Eus-
tbs is out of politics in Louisiana and is
one Of the Southern colony Of New York.
1t is expected thai Wall Of Wisconsin
will be Secretary Of War; Gray of Indi-
ana, Secretary Of Agriculture, and Blount
of Georgia, Postmaster General This
pretty near fills the list with those who
are already known to be slated.

is GRESHAM TO HAVE A PLACE
Rumor that He VIII Resign and Entei
the New Cabinet.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-The rumor
sent out from here that Judge Walter Q.
Gresham, of Indiana, is to resign his life
position as a United States Circuit Judge
to accept a place in Mr.. Cleveland's Cab
met appears to have been started by In
dianians here.
Judge Gresham made hAsty and
somewhat mysterious visit to Washing
ton about a week ago, and from here
went West.
There is but one precedent for Presi-
dent taking into his Cabinet former po-
litical opponent-Mr. Hayes appoint
ment of Postmaster-General Kay, of
Tennessee.
What place Judge Gresham is to fill in
the new Cabinet, should the rumor prove
well founded, has not been definitely de-
termned by the gossips
The position for which he would be
supposed to be especially qualih,d-that
of Attorney y-General-is assigned by the
same authority to ex-senator James d.
Eustis, of louisiana who has perma-
nent residence here, and whose family
inherts much of the wealth Of the late
bank -philanthropist, w. w. Corcoran.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-The friends of
the immigration and Quarantine bills
have effected compromise, and the two
bills will be united, and an effort made
to-day to pass the bill.
Messrs. Raynor and Stump held con-
ference and fixed up the bill, and they
sought out the New York men to see if
they would agree to it, The majority of
the New YOrkers were favorable, but Mr..
Raynor held an interview with Congress
man Cummings and the latter positively
refused to agree to any compromise.
~ in tend to kill the National Quaran-
tine BILL" was Mr. Cummings parting
remark as he left Mr.. Rayno.
The friends of the National Quarantine
bill say that it the passage Of their bill is
prevented they will compel an extra ses-
sion of Congress by filibustering against
the annual appropriation bills, and cause
failure of adoption at this session.
This can easily he done, for Congress
has less than thirty more working days
to live.

Friends Of annexation have caused the

1t is intended to have any bearing upon
the subject.
1t will likely have the effect again,
however, of agitating the subject, as it
