h is thought the decision of the United States Supreme court in the income tax case will not be delayed longer than the 18th prox. The law will, we think be upheld, as both the argument of counsel and the interlo- cutions of the judges seem to have left that impression upon legal minds. Besides, the court in 1868, in the Springer case, decided that an income tax was not q direct one, which is the chief contention now; but in the present case the uniform fly of operation of the law is an ad- ditional issue. An adverse decision would cause the Treasury great em- barrassment, for though it might not produce a deficiency in the reve- nues, 1t would doubtless affect many of the appropriations, to say noth- ing of printing and other heavy ex- penditares.

AN ARGENTINE SENSATION.
4 Deadly Duel That Has Greatly Excited
 the Southern Republic.


 the Southern Republic.
 The mails from the Argentine Repub- lie bring news of a terrible tragedy which has caused an unprecedented sen sation in that country.
 Dr. Lucio de Lopez, one of the lead ing financierg and most influential men in the republic, who was appointed by the government to investigate the af- fairs of the Provincial bank of Buenos Ayres made report to the courts which caused the arrest of Colonel Sar- miente, son of the late President Sar- miento, whose memory is reYered like that of Lincoln in this country. He was once minister to the United States and is said to have afterward Americanized the Argentines Colonel Sarmiento was convicted in the court of the first in- stance and appealed to the superior court, where there was mistrial, two judges voting to confirm and two to re- verse the decree of the lower court He then published a bitter personal attack upon Dr. Lopez in La Prensa, one of the leading newspapers.
 AGhAuE unuGE bub AtAAAJc LII 1DDl l4oA4 friends, Dr. Lopez sent him a challenge, and on Dec 27 q duel was fought at the Belgrano hippodrome in the suburbs of Buenos Ayres. Dr. Lopez was attended by General Mansilla of the Argentine army and Francis Beazley. assistant secretary of state. Sarmiento was at- tended by General Bosch of the army and Rear Admiral Soliar of the navy. Shots were twice exchanged at dis tance of 12 paces. At the second dis charge Dr. Lopez fell wounded, the ball passing through his abdomen He was taken in an ambulance to his house, where more than 200 of the leading citi- zens of Buenos Ayres were assembled anxiously awaiting the result of the duel The wounded man died next day but Colonel 5armiento had not been ar rested when the steamer left Buenos Ayres Eighty years ago decree was issued making dueling 3 capital offense, but it has been 8 dead letter for many years, although appeals to the code have been common.
 The prominence of the parties engaged makes the sensation the greater, and there is as much excitement in the Ar genuine Republic today as there was in the United States when Aaron Burr shot Alexander Hamilton. - Chicago Record.

DIDN'T sNue THE PRINCE.

The Right Honorable Joseph Chamberlain
 Ts Not That Kind of B Man.
 The Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, ex.radieaI home ruler, whom peers and princes now delight to honor, has been genuinely annoyed by the circulation of 3 story that he treated the Prince of Wales with great rudeness at the sit- tings of the royal commission on the aged poor, of which both are members. The tale ran that the prince, on being asked why he did not complain to ths chairman of MT. Chamberlain be- havi0r, replied:
 You sec, I sit between MT. Cham berlain and the chairman, and the lat ter is rather deaf "
 Mir. Chamberlain has deemed 1t worth while to get an authoritative contradio- tion Of this libel published From this we gather that though the chairman of the commission, Lord Aberdare, now I deceased, was undoubtedly deaf, hs | rarely presided at the meetings, owing 1 to i'll health, his place being taken by Lord Playfair, who is remarkably keen of hearing and that anyhow the Prince of Wales. if offended, would have taken care to let it be known to the offender himself. The latter argument is more convincing to those who know his royal highness and his emphatic way of let | ting his displeasure be known The story also shows lack of know ledge of l Mir Chamberlain 8 character. He is the last man in the world to give offense to any prince, much less the heir to the British crown. London Correspondent.

Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1895-04-10

in height, was practically ruined, and
a loss Of something like one hundred
thousand dolars-the sum being more
likely to run above than to fall below
that dgure-was sustained.
AS a result, business in the cen
tral portion of the city was practi-
cally suspended for several hours,
while the streets in the vicinity were
filled with an excited crowd which at
first numbered thousands, and the en-
tire city was affected by the terrible
event and filled. as a matter Of
course. with rumors immeasurably
worse than the actual facts.
The disaster appears to have been
caused primarily by the collapse of
the old W. r. Burt & Co. building, No.
1918 Main street, which was vacated by
that firm a couple of months ago, and
which was being enlarged and rebuilt
for occupancy by the firm of W. H.
Chapman & Co. This building fell to
the south. and its weight crushed the
adjoining four story building, occu-
pied by the firm Of T. T. Hutchisson
< Co.. wholesale dealers in saddlers'
hardware and wagon makers goods.
This building went down like a house
Of cards, falling into alley nine and
against the three-story building No.
1900 Main street, lately vacated by
House & Hermann, and into which
the wholesale millinery firm of S. N.
Rice & Co. had just moved. The fall
ing walls Of the Hutchinson building
crushed the north wall Of the Rice
building for a distance Of thirty-hve
feet, and the debris fell with such
force against the north wall of the
next building, occupied by Speyer
Bros. wholesale notions, as to crack
the wall and knock the plastering off
on the inside
Fire broke out in the ruins immed-
lately after the fan of the buildings,
and ragged during the rest of the day,
despite the efforts Of the entire fire de-
partment This rendered the prompt
rescue Of the dead impossible, except
in the case Of Mr.. Pritchard, whose
body was taken out just before noon.
The details of the disaster follow.

THE ANIMAL KNEW BEST

II. +. Nolte, the Grocer, Had Remarkable
Escape-His Horse Refused TO Turn Up
the Alley.
Among the narrow escapes from be-
ing crushed by the falling building,
none is more remarkable than that of
MIR. H. F. Nolte, the grocer doing bust
ness at the corner of Thirty-third and
Eoff streets. Here is the story from
the lips of Mr.. Nolte:
Il was on my way TO the Second
Ward market. driving a delivery
wagon, and INTENDED to- turn INTO
Alley 9, to reach Market street. The
alley is very narrow, and stopped, as
was my custom, to see if any teams
we're coming in the opposite direction
through the alley. My horse is usu-
allv very docile, but when / urged it
to go through the alley, the animal
gave a sudden start, and trotted of
up Main street.
Il reflected that l might just as well
90 up Twelfth street, and so allowed
the horse to continue. | had not yet
reached the corner Of Twelfth and
Main when | heard the crash. Stop
ping my horse, | went back, and then
congratulated myself on the remarka-
bly, narrow escape which ! made. !
have been so nervous since that l
could eat no dinner, and have been
scarcely able to work.
81 do not know Father Parke, and
cannot say whether | saw him. | re-
member. however, that there were one
or two men coming down the alley
from Market street when l stopped my
team on Main.

NARROW ESCAPES.

Stories of the Survivors of the Disaster-A
Number of People Had Very Close Calls
From Being Involved in the Wreck of the
Building.
AS may be supposed, the number Of
narrow escapes, in so extensive y
wreck. was con IiGerable, and several
of the gentlemen fortunate enough to
come out of the imminent danger un-
scathed. had graphic and interesting
stories to tell. One such instance was
the tperiepce of Mr.. H. p. McGregor.
He aid to a Register reporter
u had left the store and gone up on
Market street to attend TO some bust
ness about eight o'clock. | passed
through the alley, and after transact
ing the business started to return the
same way. AS l reached the corner Of
the cross alley, by the Buffet, l was
startled by
A TERRIBLE CRASH.
and in an instant was conscious that
the building | was approaching had
fallen bodily into the alley. / was in
volved in binding cloud of dust in
an instant. and could see nothing more,
nor could l form any comprehensive
idea of lust what had occurred. !
managed TO get out of the dust, and at-
ter collecting my wits, made my way
short distance down alley and pass
ed through Speyer Bros. store to Main
street. | have no idea how many peo-
ole were in Alley nine ahead Of me, or,
indeed. whether there was anyone
There. for I was going along with my
head down, looking at the ground, and
with nv mind occupied. If there was
anyone ahead of me, between the Buff
fet and Main street, there could have
been no escape for them.
William A. Helm, a salesman for L.
Y. Blond & Co., was passing north
along the east side of Main street, in
front of the Hutchisson building, when
THE DISASTER OCCURRED.
Inst as he passed the door of the
building he heard a tremendous crash,
and before he had time to look up, he
was struck on the umbrella and head
bv 2 falling fragment of timber. He
took TO his heels. and succeeded in
getting out of harms way, but his hat
and umbrella were buried under the
falling rubbish. His clothing was COW
cred with dirt. but otherwise no dam
age was sustained.
William II. Scharf and lady en-
Move were at work in the second story
of the Rice building when the north
wall
WAS CRUSHED IN
by the weight of the Hutchisson build
ing Tons of brick and rubbish were
hurled into the floor upon which they
were at work, and they were almost

suffocated by the binding dust. Tney
managed TO make their way to the
lower floor and got out OF the Dullulhs
in safety, as did all the other en-
ployes of the firm.
Miss Emma Roberts, saleslady
employed at Zeigenfelder's, passed
through alley nine, from Main to Mar
ket street, just a moment before the
building fell, having just reached the
store when the noise of the falling
walls told of her narrow escape.
Several other narrow escapes from
death or injury were reported, ana
from a comprehensive glance at the
whole situation it will be seen that
the list of casualties might very easily
have been much larger than it was.
George w. Clifton, carpenter, was
at work at about the centre OF the
Chapman building when the house be-
gan to give way. He made an outcry,
and with the Messrs. Chapman, Sam
uel Conroy and Newton Wilson, ran
for the front of the house. Mr.. Clifton
was in the rear, and before he could
get through the door it was jammed
shut by the twisting of the building,
and his
ESCAPE WAS CUT OFF.
A falling brick wrecked the glass in
the door, and as Clifton was in the act
of jumping through the opening he
was struck on the head and almost
knocked unconscious. He managed TO
keep going, however, and escaped
further injury. Samuel Cannon fol-
lowed him, and was unhurt.
o. E. Williams, the carpenter who
was with Clifton, ran towards the rear
of the building but was struck, knock
ed down, and rendered unconscious.
When he came to himself he was sur
rounded by mass of torn and ragged
timber and bricks, through which he
managed TO make his way TO the rear
alley and thence out of harms way
He was very badly cut and bruised
about the head, and his escape from
death was a narrow one. When he
got out of the building he walked to
the Buffet saloon, and thence was
taken to his home. His injuries are
quite serious. He is about fifty years
of age, and resident of Toronto, o.
