 Iy Damaged.

Nome, Aug. 26.--Thc steam whalcr karluk, owned by he Stcfcnson Arctic expedition. was seriously damaged at Point Bar POW, where the boat was caught in an ice' flOe.
 The damage to the vessel is so great that Captain Ban lett may have to beach the boat, un- load the stores and make repairs, and it may cause the loss of the season.
 The small tender, Mary Sachs, purchased at Nome, is uninjured, but it is too small for the party to use except as a tender and supply boat, to be abandoned when provisions and supplies run low.

WOMAN LARGEST TAXPAYER
Mrs. Penfield's Income Levy
Will Reach $245,00O.
[By Telegraph to The Tribune. !


Philadelphia, Oct. 5.-When Mrs.
Anne Weightman Walker Penfield,
daughter Of the late William Weight
man and wife OF Frederick CORTLAND
Penfield, Ambassador to Austria, pays
her income tax to the United States
government she will be compelled to
give Uncle Sam almost fortune every
year.
Mrs. Penfield's income from the es-
tate of her father is $3.5OOOOO a year
and her tax will amount to $4,000.
Mrs. Penfields property is valued at
close to $7O,OOO,00O. The investments
made by her father were in realty and
other forms on which the shrewd capt.
talst never had TO pay corporation
taxes, and therefore almost all or her
estate comes under the income tax law
and she will be probably the heaviest
taxpayer in America.
