Three NEAR DEATH;
TRAIN HITS AN AUTO
Joy Riders Have Narrow Escape at
Fifteenth Street Crossing,
Moline.

Whizzing beneath the gates of the
Fifteenth street railroad crossing in
Moline, two young men and a young
woman, in auto No. 22513 (Ill) narrow
ly escaped with their lives Saturday ev-
ening when shortly after O'Clock the
front of their car, damaging the ma
chine considerably, but fortunately in
juring none of the occupants. The
chauffeur who was driving north on
Fifteenth avenue, saw the approaching
train and attempted TO cross just
ahead of it as the guards were being
lowered. Passing under the first guard
in safety, he suddenly saw that he
could not get under the second and
consequently stopped, penned in on
the tracks. A futile effort was
made to reverse. but before it could
be done the engine had struck the
left front wheel, slightly springing
the axle, destroying the tire, the
lamp, the two cylinders on that side
and smashing the running board
INTO smithereens. If the train had
struck the car even so much as
two feet farther back it is doubtful
of the occupants would have escaped
without serious injury. AS soon as
possible the train was stopped, the
guards raised, and running on the
two right cylinders the machine
backed out and made the run down
to Anderson & Hager's garage,
where repairs were Immediately be-
gun. The names of the occupants of
the machine were not learned.

turnel under Bergen hill, connecting
the Erie terminal in Jersey City with
it's westward divisions.
OF the known dead five were
Americans, three were unidentified,
and two we're foreigners.
Task of Years.
For several years the Erie has
been working at the gigantic task of
carving an open cut for it's passen-
ger trains through the solid rock of
Bergen hill, which in some spots is
800 feet high. The cut was opened
for travel not long ago, but there
still remains the task of hewing a
common portal for the old tunnel and
the new cut, out of the ledge where
they will meet west of the boulevard.
1t was there that the fall came.
All workers Not Accounted For.
1t is known that there were more
men in the gang than have yet been
taken out or are accounted for, but
as many of them were seen running
into the mouth of the tunnel it is
supposed they escaped. A huge
mass of debris must still be sifted
through before the full truth is
known.
Passenger traffic was not affected
but the old tunnel was blocked for
freight.

by TAX.

Especial Correspondence of The Argus.)
Washington, Sept. 10.-When a wo-
man purchases $40 worth of wooden
dress goods, $4.97 represents the value
of the goods and $5.13 the amount of
the tariff.
This is because of the Payne-Aldrich
ad valorem tariff of los per cent. Or.
in other words, on each 81 worth of
wooden dress goods imported, the
Payne-Aldrich law levies tax of $105.
The consumer must pay the 81 value
and the $1.05 tariff, or $2.05 for one
dollars worth of goods.
This is but one of a thousand illus
trations that could be submitted to
show how the tariff affects the cost of
living.
Here is another sample illustration
for the tariff arithmetic class, which is
composed of some 9o,000,00 American

It took the long and brilliant file

Laurier, premier of Canada, who
came into power in 1895, after a
fight against the establishment of
separate Catholic schools in Mani

the papal legate to render his trib-

The announcement is made that
the next eucharistic congress will be
