Steep chasing IS Being Revived
In America This Year.
EXCITING BUT PERILOUs SPORT.

Mr.. Leonard Boyne, the Actor and Gentle
man Rider. Relates Number OF Good
Stories illustrating the Humorous Side OF
II steeplechasing In England and ireland.
Steeplechasing is to be revived in ear
nest IN America, and as the sport is to be
governed by the Steeplechase, Hunt and
Pony association, formerly the American
Hunt and Pony Racing association, there
seems to be good ground for believing that
future cross country races on this CONT
nent will be, paradoxically speaking, run
strictly 'on the level. :" In Great Britain,
where steeplechasing has been intensely
popular for over century lit is controlled
by the National Hunt association, and in
America the new Jockey club and the
Western Turf congress concluded that no
better move could be made than to emu
late the English example and give the con-
troll of steeplechasing to the American
prototype of the National Hunt associa-
tion. S,.s:5 @s
Steeplechasing is an outcome Of fox
hunting, and it is said that one Of the first
steeplechases was the impromptu contest
of party of unsuccessful fox hunters,
VINO agreed to eniyen the days dull sport
by racing toward a church whose spire
pointed heavenward several miles from
where their horses stood. The first man
who touched the church with his whip
was declared the winner. The sport soon
became popular among English hunts

RECOURSE TO THE CAUCUS.
1t Is All About the Proposed
Income Tax.
WANT TO MAKE 1T A RIDER.
Belief in Congress That Such a
Movement May Defeat the
Wilson Bill.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 24.-The only one
amendment to the tariff bill of Importance
adopted by the House to-day was that re-
pealiDg the reciprocity clause OF the Nc
Kinley law. The entire day was consumed
by the New York Democrats flibusteriEg
against the income tax proposition, which
it was feared would be offered, along
with other features of the internal revenue
bill, as an amendment to the wilson bill.
Several Democratic speeches severely crit
icizing the bill were delivered and the
Democratic advocates of the income tax
became SO impatient late IN the afternoon
over the course pursued by the New L ork
members that they concluded the best way
TO settle the question would be by holding
a caucus. This Wilson finally agreed TO
and on his motion the House took recess
al 4 80 O'Clock and the fi2ht was transferred
from the open House to secret caucus. At
the evening session speeches were made by
Hicks (R.) of Pennsylvania, Hutchinson
D) of Texas, Cobb 3D. of Alameda,
Goodnight 3D. of Kentucky. and Hines
O) of Pennsylvania.
At the Democratic caucus 164 members
were present, and Fithian of Illinois intro
duced a resolution, which was adopted,
providing that the Internal revenue bill
and the incame tax bill be added as an
amendment to the Wilson bill. The time
for debate on the tariff bill was extended
three days, the final vote TO be taken next
Thursday. The substitute offered by Will
son for the separation of the income from
the tariff bill was defeated, 68 to 81. and
he Fithian resolution carried, 50 10 II.
hot ha ~ ha
BIO und by the action of the caucus.
large number of Democrats in the
House believe the adoption of the income
tax as part of the tariff bill will result in
the defeat of the entire measure. That it
will be offered as an amendment there can
be no doubt, providing recognition is re-
ceived from Chairman Richardson. Some
of the incOme-tax men fear such a recog-
milton may not be secured, butt is pointed
out that both Chairman Richardson and
Speaker Crisp favor the income tax and
would recognize McMillin for the purpose
of Offering the bill as amended. There
seems little doubt the income tax will be
made part of the bill in committee. The
Republicans will. no doubt, be glad 10 see
it SO added. They believe it would result
in the adoption OF motion 10 recommit
the bill.
At meeting of the New Jersey Demo-
cratic delegation to-day it was agreed 10
vote against the tariff bill If the income tax
was included. The New York members
estimate that there will be fifty Demo-
cratic votes against the bill with the in
come tax added.
Sibley, Democratic Congressman from
Pennsylvania, has resigned his seat, TO
take effect on February II. Criticism of
his course on the tariff bill is said 10 be
the cause.

MET DEATH IN THE FLAMES.
A Woman's Struggle With the
Destroying Fiend.
WHAT AWAITED THE HUSBAND.
A Jackson Mans Awful Discovery
When He Returns From His
Nights Work.

JACKSON, Jan. pa shocking acct
dent occurred here last night, in which
Mrs. w. II. Carley lost her life, and that.
too, in most dreadful manner, as the
poor woman was burned to death, al
though she succeeded in suoduing the
flames and thus saved her home from de-
struction.
AS to the exact manner in which the
accident happened the truth will probably
never be known; but from the cireum-
stances surrounding the case and from
what is known of Mrs. Carley's habits, it
is easy to suppose how the accident came
about which resulted in her death.
When Carley, who is employed at
the chlorination works of the Kennedy
mine, returned home from work this morn
ing about O'clock lie found the door
locked. which Immediately aroused his
suspicious that all was not right. Hur-
riedIy battering in the door, horrible
sight met his gaze.
In the doorway leading from the kitchen
to the bedroom of his home lay the al
most nude body of mis- wife. burned and
blackened in a most dreadful manner. She
was still breathing. but unconscious.
Summoning help in the person of
unfortunate woman and laid her in the
bed, but she died ten minutes later with
out regaining consciousness.
An examination Of the two apartments
of the dwelling suff1ced to tell something
Of the story of the disaster On the floor
of the bedroom lay the shattered frag-
ments of coal-oil lamp; also pieces of
paper aud clothing, partly burned. In the
kitchen there were likewise evidences of a
fight with fire.
1t seems that Carley left for the chlori-
nation works. not more than quarter of a
mile from his home, about half past 10 last
night. His wife had not yet retired, and
they little thought that this was TO be
their last farewell. She was in the ha bit
of reading in bed. and it is supposed that
on retiring she started in to read, and after
ward, in falling asleep. upset the lamp, or it
may have exploded while she was reading
Reused by the flames the unfortunate
woman sprang from her bed and made an
heroic effort to extiDguish the fire, and
succeeded in so doing, but at the price Of
her own life. Her nightdress must have
caught fire during ithe struggle TO save her
property, as ouly few shreds of it were
lett on her person when she was found.
Realizing her own peril she rushed int to
the kitchen. whether to open the door and
give tie alarm cannot be told. Overcome
by the flames she fell across the doorway,
her face toward the bedroom.
The victim was 90 years of years. She
had no children. Until within year or
two she has lived at Drytown. in this
county.
