Peach Growing.
Philadelphia. luuuirer.

Peach growers are gradually learning that
the peach tree will not only stand very
severe pruning, but that il does best under
such treatment. Where this is not practiced
long, slender branches form, and these pro-
duce fruit mainly at their outer exremities.
This overloads the branches and causes
them to break down, even when the tree is
producing no more fruit than il could easily
carry if properly distributed. If the
branches were cut back to within two feet
fruit spurs and produce fruit close to
the trunk and main branches, where ii
could easily be supported. Trees handled in
this way VIII also produce more perfect
fruit. Such severe cutting back may be
done without any injury whatever if per-
formed while the tree is dormant. AL
though peaches are reckoned an uncertain
crop, it is still one of the most profitable
fruits which can be grown in localities
adapted to it. Select the finest varieties and
give high culture, and it will require but
little fruit TO give you good money re-

THE TARIFF BILL.
No Discrimination VIII Be Made
Against the whisky Trust.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON. Feb. u.--Strenuous eff
forts are being made by President Cleve-
land to have the Senate finance committee
strike out the income tax feature of the
Wilson tariff bill. 1t was proposed by the
administration that income taxes should
be separated from the customs measure
and reported to the Senate separate
bill. but 1t was soon found that that could
not be done. Such action would be equiva-
lent to originating revenue measure in
the Senate All revenue bills must originate
In the House. Democratic members of the
ways and means committee were then
sounded. They were asked If they would
report the income tax scheme as a separate
measure If Ii was stricken out of the tariff
bill by the finance committee. They
piled that they would not; that the income
bill or fall. and that it was simply scheme
to rescue President Cleveland from embar-
rassment They said the President would
veto an income tax measure pure and SIM
pie. but he could not veto tariff bill pro-
vtding for income taxes So IL is but
question OF striking s income taxes from the
In the bill as now. If a duty is placed on
sugar, coal and iron ore, seems altogether
probable, the income taxes will not be
necessary for revenue. 1t looks as though
the dilemma would become very embarrass-
ing to the President and his party in Con-
gress.
1t Is reported tonight that the Sugar
Trust has won its point in spite of Chair
man Voorhees, threat that discriminate
ing duty in favor of refined sugar will be
levied by the Senate bill. Two of the three
members of the subcommittee preparing
the Senate bill are in favor of preserving
the interests of the trust. AS Chairman
Voorhees, wants to increase the tax on and
extend the bonded proof for whisky it
would not become him TO insist overly much
on throttling the other trust If the Whisky

the Sugar Trust have been here a week
1t is wonder that sentiment should
change in their wake. 1t is said that over

WENT MAD IN CHURCH
One Priest Assaulted by Another
During the Services.
Father Hill, of st. Peters, Brooklyn
Twice Knocked Down by Father
McDOnald-The Latter Insane.

BROOKLYN, N. Y. Feb 11-There was
an exciting time to-day at st. Peters Ro-
man Catholic Church in this city, and the
spectacle of one priest assaulting another
on the altar caused a panic among the
large congregation which attended the mass
services.
The pastor of St Peters is the Rev.
Father William ]. Hill, man Of middle
age while Father Patrick V. McDonaid, a
young man of about thirty year,, Is his
assistant. The latter was the celebrant Of
the mass, while Father Hill was cn the
altar as deacon. When Father Hill COM
menced the reading of notices for the day
Father Mcdonald. who was kneeling, sud-
denly arose and. turning to Father Hill,
said: You can't speak here" Father Hill
was taken by surprise and whispered to his
assistant to keep quiet, but the latter, who
weighs about two hundred pounds, rushed
at Father Hill and knocked him down the
altar steps. Father Mcdonald then picked
up the chalice and Father Hill attempted
to take 1T from him. The former dealt him
q blow under the left ear which knocked
him down.
The startled congregation was by this
time Wild with excitement, and several men
in the front pews jumped over the chancel
rail and prevented Father Mcdonald from
committing 1urtner violence. some or the
congregation had in the meantime run to
the Butler-street station for assistance, and
Father Mcdonald was taken to the rectOry
opposite the church and confined in his
apartments. Word was sent to Bishop Nc
Donnell, who directed Vicar general Nc
Namara to make an investigation. In the
meanwhile Father Mcdonald had become
so violent that il was evident he was in
sane. Later he was remoN ed TO St. Peter s
Hospital. where it was found necessary to
detail a policeman to attend him. Father
Hill said that he taken entirely by
surprise as Father Mcdonald had never
before manifested any signs of insanity
and he could not account for the sudden
arrangement of his mind.

"ONLY A COACHMAN."
Sensation Caused by Leading Basso of
aSwell Jersey Church Choir.

NEW YORK, Jan. 7.-Members of Christ
Episcopal Church, Bloomfield. n. j.. un-
expectedly discovered that William Mason,
leading basso OF their choir OF fashionable
singers. was "only coachman." That has
created a commotion. Pastor White has
been trying by means of concerts and
other entertainments to raise money to re-
build the church, which was destroyed by
fire year ago. They proved to be sue
cessful until Mr.. Aason's identity was re-
vealed. He had represented himself as
real estate agent
The choir is composed largely Of the
scions OF blue-blooded families. They called
on the pastor after rehearsal, informed
him they had discovered that the supposed
real estate dealer was "a common coach
man." employed by Henry V. Allen, and
that either the coachman must be dis
missed or the other singers would leave the
choir. OF course, the coachman had to go.
This has created nue., comment, and
promises to materially reodce the attend
ance at the concerts.
The Rev. Mr.. White, when interviewed
regarding the occurrence, said he deplored
il greatly but had no alternative owing
TO the deception practiced by Mason.
The latter despite the position which he

position, but, kno wing the ostracism Il en-
tails. and being desirous of helping the
