Taxation Questions.
(WilmingtOn Times. }

If the new tax law is an improvement
on the old; if it carries any relief from
the burden OF double-taxation heretofore
borne by the poorer and middle classes; if
it IS anything but measure drawn up
and forced through by coterie of idle
rich men to enable them to evade their
just proportion Of the expenses Of the
state, why don't some of its friends come
out openly and say so! Or, better still,
why don't some OF the members who OPP
posed the measure come out and tell us
just what interests lobbied it through
These are a few OF the things the voters
Of the state want to know. The first two
questions viii answer themselves shortly:
who viii answer the others!

FELL FROM BRIDGE
TO SWIRLING WATER
Spaniard Rescued After Being Fol
lowed in Boat Half an Hour-Was
Painting New Railroad Structure.

The closest call to death in this To-
cality from the high water came this
morning, when Ollie Arabia, Spaniard
in the employ of y. Hart & Co. of
Philadelphia, engaged in painting the
new Boston & Maine railroad bridge,
fell from his high perch into the swift
current near the New Hampshire shore.
Three others Immediately put out in q
boat, but it was necessary to chase the
struggling man over half a mile before
they could catch up with him and haul
him, benumbed with the cold and al
but dead, into the boat. 1t was then
no easy task to work the boat into
shore and make u landing.
Arabia was in the water half an
hour. He was able to swim, and thus
keep his head above water, otherwis,
he could not have been rescued.
