There are marrow, medium and pea,

A TERRIFIC BATTLE.
Between An Aged and Young Hebrew
Woman-Old Mrs. Rosenberg Got Hurt
But Defeated Her Adversary-Mr. Goog-
ms Separated Them.

Yesterday forenoon, William G. Goog
ms was employed by Samuel Rosen berg
the Fore street clothier to 90 to his
large tenement house on Vine street
and repair some of the plum bling 1t
was fortunate that Mr.. Googins went
TO that house at that time, for he found
there two women in terrific battle. one
OF whom was Rosenberg's mother, old
Hebrew woman, whom Googins declared
must be so years old, and the other
was young Hebrew woman about 25
years of age, name Slavinski, or some
thing like it. They were throwing all
kinds of missiles at each other and were
furious with rage. The older woman
was struck over the eye with piece of
crockery. Mr.. Googins had to lush be-
tween the women and almostEfght him
self in order to stop them. He had no
sooner left them than they began again,
and finally the younger woman with
drew from the contest andsswent away.
It seems that she had been tenant in
the house and had been ordered out.
She had left some of her household
effects and a mass of filth behind her.
She had returned to get the former and
found old Mrs. Rosen berg in state of
indignation in regard to the latter. This
was doubtless the reason of the FIGHT.
Both parties were summoned to appear
before Judge Robinson this morning.

THE INCOME TAX.
Commissioner NIiller's Estimates of Reve-
nue.-He Expects 14,OOO,OOO this Year
For.

Commissioner Miller of the internal
revenue has prepared estimates of the
amount of tax from incomes for the year
1894, payable on and after July /, next
He has prepared a statement on the sub
jett for pu blication. 1t was sent to Sec
rotary Carlisle for his consideration.
Commissioner Miller has taken up the
lectors and estimated the amount of reve-
nue. that may be expected therefrom.
Although the figures for last year fall
far below the original estimates, the
commissioner holds ont the ray of hope
that the returns for 1895 may be larger,
for. by that time, all the tangles and
COMPLICATIONS of the law may be
Strengthened out, and business generally
may be in more prosperous condition
than it has been of late.
The commissioners estimate of the tax
on last YEARS. incomes, as returned by
the collectors, is $14, 0CO, 900, or about SIG,
000,0G less than the original estimates
before the law was emaSculated by the
Supreme Court.
The statement simply gives the esti-
mated gross COLLECTIONS and does not
specify returns by districts or cities. 1t
includes an estimate of expenditures for
the collection of the tax amounting to
about 100000. Mr.. Miller's estimate is
undou btsdly disappointment to Secre-
tary Carlisle, who is said to be figuring
ON basis of $40, 900, 600 at least.
The statement above referred to is en-
bodied in the following letter, written
by Commissioner Miller to Secre-
tary Carlisle and made public, with the
latter's approval:
"Telegraphic advices received from the
collectors of the several internal revenue
districts indicate that the aggregate
amount of income tax shown by the re-
turns which were filed before the 10th
instant will be about $14, 365, 0O0
Delayed returns and corrections it is
believed will considerably increase this
amount.
The total expenditures on account of
the work, including necessary salaries
and allowances. to the end of the present
fiscal year will not exceed $135, 000."
Much to the surprise and annoyance of
the officials, Information reached the de-
partment from several cities that income
tax returns were still being offered, and
asking for instructions. Several returns
were offered to the collector or WASN'T ing
ton and he was instructed to receive them,
subject to whatever action might be de.
cided upon later.
