SAVED FROM CREMATION. SilfrnW fewhf»~of • FxSHljr mt Tea fro* a Burning Boldine »» tMr-., Children Dropped Into the Arni»' of a Policemen from e Second-Story Wijudoer. New York. Oct 1ft.—A family eoitsfstin; of a man. his wife and seven childrsn, as well as a boarder, had a narrow escape from death by fire in Jersor City. Six of the children were dropp d, one by one, ont of a window and aero caught by a policeman. The other: of the party.. managed to escape death by almost a miracle. The scene , of tht fere was a two-siory fratfie Child* ing occupied by ex-Police Commissioner Thus. ' Gross a's % liquor saloon.* The 11 imps originated in a rear extension o: i Sussex street, used as a storeroom. No. 3S Sussex street, the adjoining house, is a two-story frame building, tiie Upper part of whieft was occupied by John Rogers, his family, consisting of his wife and seven children, ranging in age from seven months to thirteen years and also by a boarder named Hines, an Adams Express employe. The first intimation of danger* was- when Mrs Rogers was awakened by a sense of suffocation, and seeing the room nearly filled with smoke, at once aroused her husband and told him to take caro of the children. Rogers hastily snatched his children from.their beds and gathered six of them in the front rooroi By direction of Policeman ftotlgherty, who has Stationed himself directly under the window, Rogers dropped the Children out, and as they came down, bach was safely caught in the arms of the policeman; who handed the nearly naked children over to the neighbors for temporpry caro. By this time the flames had worked their way into the room which was becoming uncomfortably warm. Mrs. Rogers in her night dress, was saved by her husband, who climbed out on the window sill, then to a narrow cloth awning, twelve feet from the ground. The weight was too much for the frail awning. The fastenings gave way and Rogers and his wife came down with a crash, burying Policeman Dougherty under the awning. In the meantime Hynes, the expressman, upon being awakened, without stopping to put on a single garment; Canght the seventh child in his arms and made his way down the stairway through the blinding smoke. His cries for help brought a policeman; who kicked in the side room door and thus

released him. Higgins lost every thing, and is wearing clothes furnished by the neighbors. It was nearly twohours before the firemen wore withdrawn. The total damage was about $3,090. The origin of the fire is a mystery. THE MAFIA MUST GO. The Officials of Sew Orleans Taking Action to Suppress the Terrible Band of Assassins—Mayor Shakespeare Warned that He will Be the Next Victim.

AN OUTRAGcOUS TARIFF* Ik> Bordens of tkr People ietirewel! lor the Beneht of the nntwi*;'. Itttfe thrift bill. *3 family leyoui upon by tbb eonferfee'S, was rushed through the House of Beprsseniaiit^s recently, uo Opportunity being givert M fte ofecussion. The Members Of fee 8s*». were, called upon to tW apea 'be isiil without haring bad on ,ta even read the conference report. TV* only information tbe<; h*« as To what it contained' was obtuhiod from the newspapers anti the current rttaors on the streets and about the Capitol. The i Request of tbs Democrats far. a postponement of final actitfS wdsW-Eteunctuoas-ijf ignored by Sir. McKinley. It is thus that the most important legislation-^-legislation affecting directly the interests of .every citizen—is rushed through under the system of gag riik-f> which has been substituted by Eeed, McKin ley & Cd for the methods of deliberation which have been id Vogue in the American Congress from the bcjfsrifclug of the Government. The various “compromises,'3 so called, made by the oonterecae c ommittee were, with scarcely fan CSroptioa surrenders to the trusts and combiBb* toons in whose interests the tariff bill was framed. This is notably true as to the tax on binding twine. The McKinley hill, as originally reported, imposed a duty of 1 &' cents per pound or; binding twine, which is used by every] farmer id the United Starts, fn the Senate some of" the Northwestern Senators, under the lead of Mr, Davis, of Minnesota, made a fight for free binding twine, and with the aid of every Democratic Senator succeeded in having the duty stricken out. Senator Davis declared during the discussion of this clause that the tax oli binding twine would cost the farmers Of Minnesota alone nearly $1,000,00# a year. He also showed that the business of manufacturing twine was in the bauds of a trust built up by a tariff which eon- ; trolled absolutely the raw material id the places where it was grown, «and i which limited its product and fixed its prices to suit itself. Mr. Davis said of the members of this trust: They are as lar above legislative contra! as the cloud,- that float above the Capita*. They are in nee d of no protection. They *rC amply able to protect themselves and to spoliate the world.

Yet this same trust went before the ways and means committee and demanded additional protection of 1% cents per pound, saying if this 1*as not granted, its members would be forced to close their; mills. There is no doubt that this trust is one of the most oppressive upon the farmers that is in existence. jSior is there any doijfct that if binding twine had been kept on the free list the trust would have been destroyed aqd the farmers relieved of an onerous burden. But the trust was strong enough to induce the conference committee to put its product—binding twine—hack on the dutiable list, the rate being fixed at 7-10 of a cent a pound, while on other manilla cordage the rate was advanced from SJ£ to 1% cents per pound, more than was provided in cither the House or Senate bill.

The existing cent, per pound is to be kept’" plate until July 1 next, after which the tax upon this article of universal sumption—this raw material tant industries—will be increased 2-10 cents per pound. This excessive tax will ruin large interests, employing a great number of men and affording an extensive market for farmers’ products. It is levied purely in the interest of a ring of Pittsburgh capitalists who. no doubt, had the fat fried out of them in most elegant style in 1888. The tax on manufactures of tin-plate is correspondly increased. The Senate provision for the free importation of tin-plate after 1806, in case of the failure of domestic works to * produce one-third of the amount consumed, is retained. This is a piece of rank humbug. Of course the tin-plate ring counts upon its ability to secure a repeal of this provision before 1806 upon condition of liberal payments into the Republican campaign funds in the meantime.

The bill as it stands, and as it bus become a law by the approval of Benjamin Harrison, fully merits the. denunciation passed upon it by the late Deiuocratis State convention. It lays new burdens upon the farmers and wage-workers of the country in the interest of trusts and monopolies. It increases taxes upon the necessaries of life and decreases taxes upon the luxuries. It affords no relief whatever to the agricultural interests of the country; in the words of Mr. Blaine it does not open a market for a single bushel of wheat or a single barrel of pork. It will add enormously to the profits of the protected manufacturers, but will not increase the wages of a single American workingman by a penny. It is unquestionably the most unjust and outrageous measure of taxation ever passed by the American Congress. This bill was supported by every Republican member of Congress from Indiana. Tbo Republican State convention did not dare to indorse it, notwithstanding the vigorous condemnation of it made by the Democratic convention. But every Republican candidate for Congress in Indiana may be counted upon, if elected, to vote against its repeal or modification. If the farmers of Indiana shall assist by their votes to elect these candidates to Congress, they will richly deserve to suffer the SHipoverishment which the operations of this law are certain to bring to them. dianapolis Sentinel. : amounted to 19.58 per cent, of our importations.
