THE TAX on ALIENS.
Foreigners Must Hereafter Pay 8 Cents Per
Day to the State.


Contractors, manufacturers and officials
of corporations throughout this county
and state are Interested in the passage of
the bill by the legislature a few days ago
which imposes tax of cents per day on
the male aliens employed in all parts of
the commonwealth, such tax being re-
quired to be deducted from the salary OF
such laborers by their employers and
turned over To the county treasury. As
the bill has been signed by the governor
it has now become law aud is 10 go into
effect on July /.
The law makes it compulsory on the
part of employers to ascertain whether
any of their male employees over Il years
of ago are unnatlralized, and To keepa
record of the number of days such per-
sons are employed each month, subject
to examination by the county COM
missioners. Such employers must make
a quarterly report on the first day of jan
nary, April, July and October each year
to the county commissioners of the eoun-
~ in which employment is given, and on
falling 10 so report shall be fined from
500 to $1,000. Blanks are 10 be furnished
by the commissioners.
From the statistics available through
the reports of the commissioner of immi-
grafton, the various consuls and the CEN
sus for some years back il is estimated
that there are more than 10000
aliens working in Pennsylvania, very
few of whom are TO be found in Somer-
set county. OF course the majority of the
alien population of the state is located in
the mining regions where, it is said, nine
tenths of the miners never become natur-
allied.
The bill is also to protect the state
against such skilled laborers as those
coming from England who, after work
ing during the summer months, return
to spend the winters at home. These
men are bricklayers. painters, carpen-
tiers and others employed out of doors.
1t is estimated that they receive almost
as much for one days work in America
at these trades as they would for weeks
labor abroad, aud can thus afford 10 go
back and forth at will, at the same time
saving money and not pay ing anything
for the privilege of carrying on their vo-
cations on this side ofthe water. Such
persons a. these will, no doubt, cause
contractors and builders a considerable
amount of trouble under the new regime,
hut as the object Of the bill is 90 favor the
employment OF American labor il Is
thought that many Of i1hs foreigners will
4 on account OF tie additional bother neces-
sary in rendering a report of their SER
vices to the state be completely frozen
out.
The tax of 3 cents per day for 300 days
| in the year would amount to $, each
head and would probably yield a million
dollars One-half of the revenue is To go
to the schools and the balance 10 defray
| The general expenses of the county.

Wedding Trip in a Balloon.

CHArTANooGA. Tenn. June 27.-This
afternoon, in the presence of several
thousand persons, William Robertson,
an employe of the Wild West show now
exhibiting here was married to Miss
Cynthiana Kenna, charming belle OF
Hill! City, a suburb of Chattanooga.
The ceremony took place in the
car of the balloon, aud as soon as
the words that made them man
and wife had been spoken the ropes were
cut and the couple started on bridal
tour through mid-air. \ stiff breeze was
blowing, and the balloon was carried
over the Tennessee river. At the height
of about $50 feet the bride became fright
ened and jumped into the water. She
was rescued by some men in boat.
The groom made the ascent safely and
descended distance of l,0O0 feet in his
parachute safely.

A Senate, strass pu=s.

WASHINGTON. ID. c., June 2d.=An
abrupt and startling halt in the tariff
debate occurred in the Senate this afier-
noon, when. in the midst ofa passionate
speech, Senator Pettigrew. Silver Repub-
lican. of South Dakota, was stricken
with y plrslysis of the vocal cord, which
brought his vehement speech TO a close
with a sentence half uttered. The Sen
ator was not physically incapacitatcd, ex-
cept in the sudden loss of the power OF
speech. Although he took his seat un-
aided, his associates felt that grave pos
sibilities were involved in such an at
tack. They were quickly by his side,
and he was ministered TO with as little
confusion as possible. He leff the cham
ber soon after, and was taken home by
his friends. The debate proceeded. but
no further progress on the Tariff bill
was made, and the awe-like feeling oc-
casioned by this incident led to an ad-
journment in few minutes.

mounted. continued their flight, but are
being closely pursued, and have very
few chances of escaping. The day was
favorable for raid on the bank, as the
weather was such that it kept the towns
people OFF the streets, and the robbers
had little opposition, and had quite
start before the alarm could be given.
The robbers were pursued before they
got out of town. In the fight that follow
ed Walter Gay, citizen, was shot
through the cheek, but no one else was
hurt. Thomas Day the captured robber,
was overhauled half mile from town
and is now in Jail at Dsadwood. He is
stranger in the vicinity. The rest of the
gang are at bay at the Three V ranch, a
few miles from Belle Fourche, where
they will likely be captured or killed.
Less than so was taken from the hank.

Death by a Moving Knife.

BELLEFoNTE, Pa, June @-George
Taylor WAS the victim to-day Of one of
the most horrible accidents ever recorded
in Centre county. Taylor WAS tenant
farmer on Robert Henderson's farm,
near State College. This morning he
went out to NOW grass for hay. He was
driving a rather spirited team, and short
ly before noon-time the horses became
frightened and ran away.
Taylor was thrown from his seat ON
the moving machine in between the
horses and dragged for quite distance.
Finally he was tumbled out in front of
the cutting bar, and before help could
reach him was caught in the fast-flying
knife and literally cut TO pieces.
The horses ran considerable distance
before being caught, and the entire track
was strewn with Taylor's flesh and
blood. The sight was horrifying. Tay-
lor was married, aud leaves a wife and
small children.

THE son Of Phil Sheridan has been
appointed 10 a ~adetship at West Point
10y President Mckinley, which is car
rying out a request made by General
Grant. Just previous to his death he
asked his friends TO do all in their
power to have young Sheridan ap-
pointed to a cadetship at West Point as
a debt of gratitude the country owed
the gallant cavalry general. TIE friends
of Grant have been assidious in their
efforts TO carry out the wishes of the
dead chief, and young Phil Sheridan,
having successfully passed the exami-
nations, is now full-fledged cadet at
the famous military institution. May
he do honor 10 his illustrious father.

A Destructive HaiIstOrm.

ToPEKA, Kan, June 25.-The worst
hailstorm known in the history of Kan
sas, struck THIS city shortly after o O'Clock
last night. Hail stones weighing II 10 10
ounces stripped the trees oftheir foliage,
smashed window panes on every hand,
including the finest plate glass store
fronts, cut down telegraph and telephone
wires, riddled awnings and inflicted un-
precedented damage throughout the city.
Dogs were struck in the streets and in
stantly killed. Horses were knocked to
their knees to rise again and dash away
i'm mad fright. Runaways occurred
throughout the city. When the fury of
the storm had passed dead birds were
found everywhere. 4 heavy wind and
terrific lighting accompanied the storm.
Topeka looks like city that has with
stood a siege OF war guns. There are not
a dozen buildings in the town that are
not almost windowless, and many roofs
were caved in. The roofs of street cars
were pierced. The hail stones ranged in
size from that of hens egg 10 an os-
trich egg. and 30 minutes afler the storm
one hail stone was picked up which
measured IL inches in circumference.
Surgeons are busy dressing the wounds
of persons injured in the storm. and re-
ports OF injuries continue 10 DC received.
