a TAX ON SERVANTS.-The French
Government proposes to take the tax
OIL windows and doors and make up
the deficit by u tax on house rents and
on servants. The window and door
tax bears hardest on tho poor, who
have moro windows in their houses
than the rich. The new law will shift
the burden on to shoulders better able
to bear it. When tenant take pos
session of a house, the law asks :
Have you servants ?" If the answer
Is affirmative, the rent tax is augment
ed forty per cent, but If there is only
one servant it is twenty per cent.
Evasion OF this law will turn on the
definition of a servant. A servant is
defined as in general any person cx-
clusively and permanently in the SER
vice of another, exclusive of Industrial,
commercial and agricultural work
But the law does not consider as such
woman employed by the day to do
general housework, and it is by this
exception that people OF small means
hiring one domestic will be able to
creep out from the tax for it is very
generally, true, in France, that such
women are married and have homes
of their own to which they go at night.

KILLING OF DIR. INGATE.
DIR. j. Il. Ingate, second assistant
physician, and DIR. Robinson, the super
lutendent, were standing in the hall
talking just before the storm struck,
and as they separated to go to their
rooms the two towers which crowned
the main Office portion, crashed through
the three stories, burying DIR. Ingate
under the debris of one OF them. DIR.
Robinson had a narrow escape, but by
pressing up against the wall while
Drlcks and heavy timbers were flying
about his head in the dark, the lights
having at once been extinguished, he
succeeded in getting out without in
all night and the forenoon in removing
the debris to find the body of the un,
fortunate physician, but his remains
were not uncovered until IL O'Clock.
he was found under q mass of brick
and timber in the vestibule of the main
building, lying on his face and mangled
beyond recognition. His remains were
forwarded to his parents at Mobile,
Ala
THE CoNvICTS WERE IN CELLS.
The storm did damage at the peni-
tentiary aggregating $4,000. The
south half of the roof of tho dollhouse
was completely torn away and carried
outside the walls. The windows were
all broken out, but very little damage
was done to the interior. Many of the
convicts were in their cells at the time
and were not hurt. The new work.
house, chapel and kitchen were badly
wrecked. The third story and the
east wall of the second story were
blown down and are lying between it
and the house, vast mass of brick
and mortar. The west wall was crack
ed at the floor and inclined to the east
45 degrees. 1t was in this building
where the only death occurred. j. Fl.
Griffith, @ white man sent up from
Clay County for incest, was descending
the stairway from the third story when
the wall caved In and buried him un-
der the debris. His remains, badly
mangled, were removed from the ruins.
The hospital building was un.njured
except for the wrecking of several
chimneys and portion of the roof.
The two-story stable, blacksmith shop
and woodshed that stood in the center
of the yard were badly wrecked.

McLaughlin's name was dragged In.
Mclaughlin was formerly captain of the
eleventh precinct. The woman swore
that she paid $500 initiation fec to
Wardman Burns under Captain Nc
Laughlin. Every month she paid $50
to Burns. When Burns wanted dia-
mond stud he got $165 from her to pur-
chase 1t. She said she was now broken
down and penniless. Her money had
gone into the police Golfers. Referring
to the Geery society agents, she said
they collected money from all houses
where the girls under age were kept.
Mr. Goff made the most of this testi-
mony. She told how Captain Cross
had trapped Gerry agents, Becker and
Finn, when they took $500 from her.
The men were brought to trial. Becker
was acquitted and Finn was sent to
prison for nine months. Becker es-
capped, she said, because he was the
son-in-law OF Superintendent jenkins
OF the society. When she left New
York, the witness says, she opened in
Newark q saloon and was raided by
the police. She went to Captain Cross
and he sent Alderman Smith of this
city to Newark and the police there
gave her protection. She Is now penni-
less and lives in Brooklyn.
