four deaths therefrom, as against seven

everyb body to use great care against i'm
proper exposure to the weather, however

THE TARIFF BILL.
Thirty Millions. Ii is Estimated, More
Than Needed.

The estimates Of the amount OF revenue
which the tariff bill, as reported to the
Senate yesterday, will produce, show that
the total amount win 1e about S:sl CO.,
600. This is a reduction of between $l3,-
100000 and sl4.ooo.ooo from tie estimates
on the first bill reported TO the committee
The principal reduction is made in the in
ternal revenue part of the bill through the
restoration of the present tax rates on DO
mestic cigars and cigarettes which amounts
to a loss Of over slO.Jo0.Uyo. There will
also be an appreciable falling of In the
duty on tin plate caused by changing the
duty on that importation from / LIS cents
to one cent per pound.
AS the bkl stands, IL the estimate is cor
rect, II will produce at least x30.ooO,0O0
more of revenue than will be needed. The
change made In the sugar schedule will not
cause a showing In the revenue estimates
different from that made on the subcom-
mittee bill, as the first estimate was made
upon sugar testing 30 degrees fine. The
estimate for the present bill will probably
be upon the same grade of sugar There
would, however, be slight difference in
actual returns. as the maximum duty IN
der the present bill is LIS 1-2 cents per
pound against lao on the subcommittee
bill. The difference on this score would
be controlled entirely by the quantity of
the high grade sugars imported.

ously injured at Winston, and narrowly
escaped death Monday afternoon. Cap
tain Stanlield was in charge of the

head struck the frame work of the

the car and making several deep cuts
on his forehead over his eyes.

jured man placed on board and carried
to the station, from whence he was

Nearly all OF the ringleaders of the
