FIREFOUGHT
BY A WOMAN
Her Home Was Threatened by Blazing
DraperieS.
A MATCH SPARK IGNITED THEM.
The Scene was in Rev. Koehlers Residence
His wife Bxtinguished the Flames
without ocoasioning Alarm.
Her Hands Were Painfully
Burned in Doing So

Mrs Koehlet, wife Of Rev. w II Koehler,
pastor Of the First Presby yterian church,
proved herself heroine last evening under
circumstances of most trying character,
and at the risk of great personal injury,
brsvely and successfully fought blaze
which, but for Mrs. Koehler's presence of
mind and determination, would in all prob
ability have led to a serious fire
The blaze was caused by a flash from a
match. When the match was struck to
light lamp there was an extraordinary flash
and a spark few several feet to aud ignited a
dnpery suspended between the parlor and
dining room In an instant there was a
blaze that threatened to envelop both apart
ments. Nine women out Of ten would have
fed in dismay, thrown open the front door
and screamed for help, thus increasing the
danger by creating current of air, and
alarming the community generally by cGus-
| ing call for the fire department. Mrs.
Koehler proved herself different kind of a
woman, however With admirable presence
of mind and pluck, she seized the blazing
drapery, tore it from its fastenings, and in q
| few moments the flames were extinguished
Few people knew of the occurrence until sew.
eral hours later, so effectively had Mrs
Koehler accomplished her work. 1t was moi
until the excitement attending her efforts
subsidized that Mrs. Koeher discovered that
her hands had been painfully burned. Dr.
Stein was summoned and dressed the in.
juries. 1t is gratifying to know that in her
heroic work the esteemed lady was not very
| seriously injured.

In another column of this paper will lie
found tfe political announcement Of f. j.
Kantner, of Lofty, president of the present
Board of County Commissioners, who seeks a
nomination at the hands of his party. Mr..
Kantuer has for many years been prominent
in the councils of the Republican party Of
this county, and last year was appointed TO
his present position. He has brought to the
Office practical business methods, and as a
result in less than a years administration
under the present regime the county is $50,
600 better off than it was when Mr.. Kantner
and his coll agues assumed their duties.
At that time there were left over unpaid by
the former board bills aggregating $4,000,
which have all been wiped out. Mr.. Kantner
has demonstrated his fitness for the position,
and the Republican party will be honoring
itself and rewarding faithful official in
making Mr.. Kantner one of the nominees,
which now seems to be assured. He will
certainly add strength to the ticket.

MERCANTILE TAX LAW.
Enacted at the Recent Sessions OF the
Pennsylvania Legislature.

The one revenue law which passed the
legislature that is certain 20 add something to
the state revenues Is what Is known as the
mercantile tax law. 1t is a measure in which
every person engaged in mercantile pursuits
is directly interested aud about which Shen-
andoah merchants should famiiarize them
selves.
The new law abolshes the system Of
classification which exists under the existing
mercantile tax law. II imposes upon each
retail dealer an annual mercantile tax Of two
dollars and tax Of one mill upon each
dollar Of gross sales. The license fee for
wholesale dealers is three dollars and the tax
upon sales one-half mill upon the dollar
Dealers belonging to any Exchange or Board
of Trade are required TO pay tax Of twenty
five cents on each thousand dollars sold in
open board OF exchange.
The chief difference between this and the
former mercantile tax law is, that while the
cost of the lowest license under the old law
was $3.50, the highest was only 1000
Under the present law the license fee is made
very small and uniform upon all dealers in
the same class, and the real tax is levied
upon the amtu of goods sold, county
treasurers being empowered to call for the
books and papers of any merchant or mer-
camille firm refusing to furnish a true &C
count Of sales under oath. Returns must be
made at the close of each calendar year
upon blanks prepared by the Auditor Gen
eral.
At the new rate Of taxation sales amount
| ing to 81. .OOO, 900 annually would pay 81 200,
the highest rate now paid by any retail mer-
chant or firm. 1t is claimed that this sliding
scale will be more equitable upon the small
venders and dealers, and compel those who
do large business to pay their proper pro
portionate amount of taxes. As to the total
amount the new law will bring into the State
Treasury one guess will be as good as another
until the collections for the first year have
been made The estimate of the fiscal
officers of the state is that it will produce
from $500, 900 to $780, 900 more than is de-
rived from this source under the present law.
Without attempting to forecast the addition
to the state revenues that will arise from this
new law, it is but just to say that in principle
1t seems TO be fair and equitable to all parties
affected.

ARRESTS !
In Pennsylvania IS Celebrated Coun-

EX-DIsTRIOT ATTORNEY INGHAM,

or Philadelphia, and a Deputy Inter

Charged with Completely with the
Lancaster Cigar Manufacturers.
Philadelphia. April 25.-The sensa-
ton that has been looked for in the
gigantic counterfeiting scheme un-
earthed by the secret service bureau
after a year Of patient work came to
light yesterday afternoon in the arrest
of ex-United States District Attorney
Ellery p. Ingham, charged in the
same manner as his law partner, ex-
Assistant United States District At
torney Harvey X. hewitt, with having
conspired to bribe a secret service OPP
erative to divulge secrets of the bu-
reau that would insure those engaged
in defrauding the government protec-
tion from arrest. Mr.. Ingham was
taken before Commissioner Edmunds,
who held him in $4,000 bail for a
hearing today. The bail was furnished
and Ingham appeared before the com
missioner again today, with hewitt
and the cases were continued until
Thursday, the same bail being &C
cepted in both cases.
Chief Wilkie and Chief Burns ar

prisoner was turned over to Deputy

Chief Wilkie said to a reporter that
Downey had received between 5000
and $1,000 from Jacobs as compensa-
tion to keep the latter informed of the
movements of the secret service men
ION Oct. 10 last" the chief said
"Downey called at Jacobs Office. The

asked him what was the matter with
him. Downey informed him that hC

Jacobs for various amounts. The las
money paid to Downey was on Apri
! II, when Jacobs gave him $500"
In regard to the arrest of Inghan
| Chief Wilkie would not say much. "Al
l can say is this" he said that Jacob
and the rest of the gang wanted to gC
inside information from the secret SCI
vice men in this city. Ingham an
hewitt were formerly United States al
torneys and knew much of the insid
workings of the government. Jacob
knew this and approached them eau
tiously, but he finally got there.
"These arrests are the last that vii
be made in connection with this case

we know of now. am perfectly sat

THE ARREST OF DowNEY.
Charged With Furnishing Information
For a Cash Consideration.

Charged with Furnishing Information
For Cash Consideration.
Lancaster, Pa, April 25.-One OF the
most important arrests in the great
counterfeiting conspiracy was made in
this city yesterday by Captain Burns,
of the secret service. Samuel B. Dow
ney, an outside deputy revenue col
lector, was taken into custody and held
In $4,000 bail for trial. The town is
greatly excited over the arrest.
Early in the day Deputy Collector
Downey received an inkling that the
secret service men were after him, and
he at once repaired TO Brown & Hen
sells office, they being his counsel. AS
he came out of the office Captain
Burns placed him under arrest and es-
corted him to Collector Hershey's Of
fee in the postofice building. Then
he was taken to the office OF United
States Commissioner B. f. Montgom-
cry, who fixed his bail at 10000, which
he was unable to secure.
Downey has made a complete con-
| fession. Last April, when Taylor and
Bredell, the engravers, of Philadelphia,
| had made their arrangements with Ja-
cobs & Kendig, Captain Burns came
here and secured detailed information
regarding the habits of the cigar man
ufacturers. They introduced the Sc.
cret service man to Downey, who ap.
peared TO Burns to be over Jealous IN
his efforts TO assist the detective. He
was continually admonished.
Last October Jacobs & Kendig clean.
ed out their plants, which aroused Cap,
tain Burns suspicion. He knew they
had received information from Dow
ney, but attributed it to his anxiety II
assist the secret service. Jacobs &
Kendlg did not trust Downey, anC
made an effort to reach the secre
service. They had paid Downey, tn
detectives say, $500 to keep them in
formed, but feared that he was not re
liable. After the alleged attempte,
bribery by hewitt, in Philadelphia
Burns told Downey that the secret ser
vice was disgusted with the case an
p intended to drop it. This informatio
was conveyed to Jacobs & Kendig, VIII
then began to work like beavers an
flooded the country with cigars cor
tanning bogus stamps. The secret SCI
vice men say they now have all tn
culprits under arrest.
Downey was appointed four year
ago by Raymond e. Shearer, Demo
| cratic collector, and was so we
thought of that Collector Hershey, r,
publican, retained him in office.

Last night a man called at store on West
Poplar street and after calling for fve-cent
package of tobacco rendered in payment a
counterfeit silver dollar. The proprietor of
the store detected the character of the money
and administered lecture to the man who
rendered it. The latter claimed that he did
not know the piece was counterfeit. The
public is warned against counterfeits Recent
developments warrant the belief that there
is gang in town putting them in circulation
The case of last night is not the first de-
tectiOn.
