alton ana some amusement by Offering
q resolution outlining plan for tariff

Means Committee TO bring In bill In

The bill, according to the resolution,
shall have four schedules.
A.-Composed OF articles free Of duty
including all raw materials.
B.-Articles TO pay duty OF 10 per
cent.
C.-Artlcles Of luxury, wine, spirits,

labor cost exists between this country
and abroad.
When the reading OF the resolution
had been completed. Mr.. Payne, OF
New York, asks sarcastically whether
such a bill would be constitutional az
cordiug 70 the ChicagO platform.
Mr.. Cultivate insisted that the reso-
luton be referred TO the Ways and
Means Committee and 10 was so referred.
Mr.. McRae called up his bill for the
protection OF forest reservations. The
bin is bitterly antagOnized by the far
Western members. Several fliouster-
ing motions were made but quorum
had hot been developed when tho morn
hour expired and debate on the bank
ruptcy bll was resumed.
Mr Lane, Of Illinois, took the floor
Go opposition 10 the measure. He made
the broad statement that a bankruptcy
ON could not be passed In this cOuatry
az this time.
Mr.. Coombs, Of New York, supported
the btll. He represented business con-
stitueucy. No man who had watched
the practical working OF q bankruptcy
law would deny that the law was ad-
vautageous 20 the debtor as 10 the cred
itor. m ne was honest. He had been
amazed at the assaults on the cred
tier class. According TO some OF the
speeches made it was crime 10 be a
creditor. A creditor has no rights
which a debtor was bound 10 respect.
Such doctrine was subversive OF
the credit system under which the
world has lived and thrived these 200
wears. A Hie's experience had taught
him that honesty was TIE rule, dis
honesty the exception. 10 forty years
Of tho millions and millions Of credits
be has given be has lost but one
sixteenth Of one per cent. he fiVors a
bankruptcy law, moderate aud just.
IApp.auSe.
Mr.. Ktlgore, Texas, who led the
fliblsteriug against the bill in the last
Congress, made a strong speech against
the measure. He analyzeS the bill sec
tion by section, giving many practical
Illustrations OF its effects. Pending
further debate the House, at 4:55 p. ~,
adjourned.

o'clock this evening, almost on the spot

A loaded freight train going East was
boarded az Market street by five men,
who got into a coal car. Two squares
away the coal car jumped the track at
a switch and half dozen cars were
tilted on end and crashed into a west
bound train of empty cars.
The car in which the men were sit
ting was hurled TO the middle OF the
grinding mass, aud four were instantly
killed and one injured. 1t is almost I'M
possible 10 identify three OF the dead,
owing TO their being crushed out OF
recognition. The fourth is known to
be Richard Doyle, OF Pittsburg, rail-
roader out Of work. Two OF them were
boiler makers and the fourth.a switch
man. They were well dressed aud the
man who was injured says they came
from Illinois or Ohio, and had families.
Frank Ward, Of Burlington, Iowa,
was the only man who escaped. He
saws that Frederick Gimmell was one OF
the men killed. They were all bound
for Philadelphia.
Ten cars loaded with oil and lumber
were wrecked and the contents de-
stroyed. and six empty cars were

CLRARINa-H1UsE CERTIFICATES.
Mr. Brawley Argues for His Bill to Relieve
Them of Taxes

WASHINGTON, D.NC., October Is
Mr.. Brawley, OF South Carolina, was
heard by the Banking and Currency
Committee in favor OF his bill TO sns-
pend the tax on notes, called clearing
house certificates in South Carolina.
He said these certificates were Issued
I'm the form Of notes No one has suf-
fered by their use, and the stringeney
has been relieved by these certificates.
r. P. Warner, Of New York, said that
neither he nor the banks OF New York
bad any apprehension that the New
York clearing house certificates would
be subject to the tax. He thought 1t
was an outrage for the government,
which refused to furnish currency, TO
attempt to tax men who we're trying to
supply the deficiency upon their own
business credit.
Mr.. Brawley's bill was referred to the
subcommittee.
Mr.. Johnson. Of Indiana, said that the
Brawley bill should be carefully cons.d-
cred, as be believed 1t would repeal the
ten per cent. tax. 1t was the senti-
ment OF the committee that relief
should be given the people Of South
Carolina upon the certificates Issued.
