FATAL sCHooLHoUsE FIRE.
A Teacher and One Little Scholar
Burned to a Crisp.

NUNDA, N. Y, Nov. 15-The school
house at Cooperville took fire yesterday
and the teacher, Miss Porter, of
this town, with one of her scholars, John
Ward, aged 4, were burned to death.
Miss Porter's head was nearly burned
away as wa. also one leg.
The fire started in a woodshed, leading
to which was the only door in the school
room.
There were about 20 scholars in the
school when the fire burst in at the door,
and as Miss May Porter opened the door
all was at once confusion. There were
two heroes present, Melvin and Charley
Chambers, aged 10 and IA years, the
Oldest boys in the school.
Their action undoubtedly saved many
other lives.
The only door to the school house was a
sea of flames and no one could escape that
way. The boys smashed out the windows
and literally threw the children out to save
their lives
Melvin was severely burned about his
face, but remained in the school house
until every child was rescued.
All that was left of the burned boy was
his trunk, the arms and the legs having
been burned entirely off.

MRS. HALLIDAY BREAKS OUT
She Almost Choked the Sheriff7s
Wife to Death.

MONTICELLO, N. Y, Nov. 15.-Mrs.
Paul Halliday, the triple murderess, in
her efforts to counterfeit insanity has be-
come terror to her attendants.
Yesterday she exhibited much violence
as Mrs. Beecher, wife of the sheriff, was
giving her breakfast and trying to make
more comfortable She sprang at her
with the ferocity of tigress and clutched
her by the throat and soon would have
strangled her had the sheriff not sprang to
his wife's rescue.
AS it was, Mrs. Beecher was choked un-
til she gasped for breath.
The sheriff says she is a powerful woman
and it was with no little difficulty that he
loosened her grasp from his wifes neck
With the help of attendants Mrs. Halli-
day was placed on the low couch in the
cell and given her meal
In the melee large needle, something
like darning needle, only larger, was
discovered secreted in the folds of her
dress. Where she got it is mystery. 1t
is thought she was waiting an opportunity
to use 1t on some OF the attendants.

LONDON, Nov. 15.-The Melilla CORE

as follows under date of Monday night:
AT IL o'clock last evening the electric
search light of the Spanish cruisers AL
fonso XII, Conde de Nenadto and Melilla
suddenly illuminated the whole country
around, taking the Moors by surprise. A
terrible cannonade was opened by the
warships and the forts at the same mo-
ment. The terrified Moors could be seen
running about like madmen, seeking
shelter in the caves. Many were killed.
Yesterday a company Of Spanish cav
airy made an excursion into the country,
going further than any other Spanish
troops have gone since the war opened,
and meeting with no opposition. 1t is
believed that serious operations will begin
this week"
Spanish Settlements May be Attacked.
The Moors in the vicinity Of Gomera and
Alhucemas, Spanish possessions on the
the coast of Morocco, are divided on the
question as to whether they shall attack
the Spanish settlements. The peace party
has hitherto been in the majority, but the
agitation is increasing and it is feared that
those favoring peace will soon be overborne
by the war party.
The minister of war confirms the report
of the expulsion of the London Daily Tele-
graphs correspondent from Melilla and the
expulsion of other foreign correspondents.
IL is said that the war minister will ask
a vote of IA, 900, 900 pesetas for the Melilla

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 15.-Captain Mac
KEY, OF the Pennsylvania football team,

MS TO the stories accusing his men of
roughness" and BRUTALITY" etc. He
said that nothing of the kind had come
under his notice, nor did any of the team
know of any incidents of the game which
justified in the very sma mallest degree such
accusations. He laughed at the story of
"Butterworth's bite" and said that It
would make a good title for dime novel

1t would take an ogre to bite through
canvas jacket, sweater and an under

When asked about the treatment his
own men had received he said they had no
complaint to make He himself had bad
confusion of the eye from blow Of Mr.
Murphy's fist. Every one on the field saw
Hinkey strike Knipe with no provocation
from the latter except that he had made
touchdown" The same player jumped
with his knees on Osyood's neck after the
latter had called down" McCrea re-
peatedly struck VIII rton about the face

projecting bandages from his swollen and
iuhamed ear, although doing 50 caused ag-
onizing pain; but the Pennsylvania team,
he said, accepted those occurrences as un-

THE new TARIFF BILL
Big Revenues Proposed By
an Income Tax.

TO Exclude Laboring People-Other
Changes In Internal Revenue Laws
Not Necessary Then Several Re-
ciprocity Sections to Be Wiped Out.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.- A anue of
800, ,00O, 900 is expected by III. d .ocrats
OF the ways and means comu.-so from
the moderate income tax which they pro-
pose to incorporate in the new revenue
bill. The rate of the tax will probably be
2 per cent. and the exemption will be high
enough to exclude the great mass OF labor
ing men and people on small salaries The
limit now under discussion is from So, 500
to 81, 900.
A good many statistics have been pre-
pared by the treasury experts on the in
comes of the country and the rates of
revenue obtained under different plans,
and it is believed that the 2 per cent. rate
will yield handsome addition to the
revenue of the governmt.
May Increase the Rates.
II the increase in the revenue should
prove insufficient after a year or two to
meet the demands OF the treasury, the rate
might be slightly increased, or the limit
OF exemption lowered.
One of the attractions Of the income tax
to those members OF the committee who
are advocating it is that it allows changes
in the rate to meet the demands of the
treasury without disturbing the industries
Of the country as in the case of changes in
the tariff.
No Change In Internal Bevenue Laws.
II the income tax is adopted in the form
now under consideration, other changes
in the internal revenue laws will not be
necessary There will be no increase In
the beer tax, the whiskey tax, the tax on
manufactured tobacco or the tax on
cigars.
The question Of duty on sugar Is still an
open one, but it is not unlikely that duty
will be imposed of about one cent per.
pound on both raw and refined sugars.
To Abandon the Sugar Bounty.
This will enable the committee to aban-
don the bounty now paid paid the Louisi-
ana and Nebraska growers without leay-
ing them absolutely without protection
against foreign competition. 1t is also
desired to strike blow at the sugar trust
by making the duty on refined sugar SUBJ
stantially the same as on raw sugar.
The reciprocity section, which deals
with sugar, hides, tea and coffee, will
probably be stricken from the law, but
without necessarily abrogating the exist
ing reciprocity arrangements with Ger
many, with Spain regarding Cuba and
with the South American countries.
