Patrick Henry Cronin were the developments of Friday.

He will tell the jury that la the early morning of May 5, 1880, he turned a searchlight upon an„ upproachlng wagon in the vicinity of the Edgewater electric-light plant.

THE INCOME TAX. Tills Feature of the Wilson Bill Has Been Worked Over in Committee. Washington special: Congreismen McMillan and Bryan have practically completed the draft of the Income tax features of the tariff ‘hill, which they were authorized to prepare The bilL as prepared, does not place a tax of 2 per cent, on incomes of $4,000 and upwards, as it was generally supposed It would do, but simply levies a tax of 2 ler cent, on all incomes which exceed the sum of 84,000. Thus a rnau with an income of 84,000 would not pay any tax, while the man with an income of $4,500 would pay 2 per cent, on the 8500. In other words the 2 per cent is to he levied on the excess above 84,000. Another important feature of the bill is that it does not require those whose incomes are less than $4,000 to make any returns ot statements regarding it to the officers of the Government, Blanks are to be sent to those supposed to have Incomes above $4,000. and in case of failure to report the officers may require those whom they believe to be liable to a tax to make a report under oath and may assess a penalty against those refusing to do sa Mr. McMillan and Mr. Bryan bold that under this plan many of ihe annoying and Inquisitorial features of the old law will be avoided.
