TO RAISE REVENUE.

Important Action of the House Tariff Subcommittee. It Decide* to Levy a Tax of 2 Per Cent, on Personal Income*, and to Increase the Tax on Whlaky and Playing; Card*. INCOMES TO BE TAXED. Washington, Jan. 4. —The advocates of the individual income tax proposition were triumphant at the meeting of the democratic members of the ways and means committee Tuesday afternoon. The eleven members were present when the final meeting was held at the treasury department at 6 o’clock. Comparatively little time was wasted in discussion. The ground had all been argued and fought over time and time again, and Tuesday afternoon the issue was joined on two propositions, one to levy a tax of 2 per cent, against individual incomes over $4,000 and against the incomes from corporations (that is, the difference between the gross income and the operating expenses, or,-in other words, the net income); and, second, a proposition offered as a substitute by Mr. Cockran (N. Y.) to tax the incomes from corporations 1 per cent, and inheritances 5 per cent, to place a tax of ten cents on whisky and to restore sugar to the dutiable list at one-half a cent to a pound. The vote on Mr. Cockran’s substitute proposition, which was taken first, resulted in its defeat—7 to 4. The original proposition was then submitted and carried by a vote of 6 to 5, as follows: Yeas—McMillin, Turner Whiting, Bryan, Bynum and Tarsney. Nyas—Wilson, Cockran, Stevens, Montgomery and Breckinridge. It was also decided, in connection with the latter proposition, to increase the whisky tax ten cents a gallon—that is from ninety cents to one dollar—to be levied against whiskyMn as well as out of bond. Upon the representation that this increase would work undue hardship to the owners of whisky in bond it was. decided to extend the bonded period from three to eight years. The tax on playing cards, at one time fixed at six cents a pack, was reduced to two cents, and the contemplated tax on perfumes and cosmetics was discarded. No increase was made in the tax on cigars, but the increase on cigarettes—sl per 1,000 —was allowed to stand. The committee estimates that the tax on the incomes from corporatiens and individuals (corporations being treated as individuals) will raise $30,000,000 revenue—sl2,ooo,ooo from corporations and $18,000,000 from individuals. The increase in the whisky tax, it is estimated, will give an additional revenue of $1(1000.000 per annum. The proposed tas on inheritance, which was to be levied in case the proposition for an individual income tax failed, was not deemednecessary.

BURNED IS A WRECK.

Terrible Fate of Passengers on a Union Pacific Train. Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 4.—Tuesday afternoon, under the ashes and twisted iron of what had been a passenger coach, a caboose and two freight cars, a wrecking crew found a few handfuls of human bones and the battered cases and wrecked works of two gold watches Not a particle of flesh, not a shred of clothing, not another trinket of any kind was found to identify the bones of those who perished in a collision and wreck, closely followed by fire, near Linwood, 27 miles west of Kansas City on the Union Pacific, at 5:30 Tuesday morning. One man is known certainly to have perished in the wreck, J. H. Atwood, conductor of one of the trains, who met his death while trying to warn his passengers of their danger. Two other men, stockmen, are missing and are believed to have perished, but this will not be definitely known until the Union Pacific surgeon has made a thorough examination of the few bones recovered from the ashes of the burnt ear. The list of probable dead is as follows: Jay H. Atwood, r conductor Union Pacific train, Kansas City, Mo: W. B. Martin, stockman, of Wakefield, Kan.; Herman Smize, stockman, of Clay Center, Kan.

To this list, before many hours, will surely be added two others, for of the twelve injured three are fatally hurt. Both trains were running to 'Kansas City and were in motion when the accident occurred. They were a few minutes late and the Rock Island train was running fast to make up time. The Union Pacific train was near a water tank west of Linwood and was slowing up when the other train crashed into it. Ahead of the two trains was another Union Pacific freight. It is said this train threw out a burning signal as warning for the train back of it to run cautiously. It is claimed the second train failed to throw out a similar signal and this is given as the cause of the disaster.

The Union Pacific train was No. 12, a stock train, due in Kansas City at 7 o’clock. There were about twenty-five passengers on board riding on the combination passenger and baggage car. just in front of the caboose and between it and a stock car. The passengtjys, or most of them, were stockmen from stations in Kansas who were coming to Kansas City with cadtle and hogs. Nearly all of them were sleeping when the accident occurred. Conductor J. H. Atwood saw that a collision could not be avoided and started from the caboose to the coach to warn the passengers, but he was caught between the cars and crushed. His rear brakeman and a young man who were on the caboose saved their lives by jumping. Conductor A twood’s bravery is spoken of by every survivor.

Trainmen and passengers who were not seriously injured began : at once to save those who were more seriously hurt. Four men were dragged from the wreck, more dead than alive. Fire caught from the stoves, and before the dead could be removed the four cars were enveloped in flames. The flames spread so rapidly that the men under the debris of the caboose and passenger coach could not be reached. Faint and piteous calls for help were heard, but the men who had been saved were powerless to aid the poor fellows, and soon their cries ceased. The fire burned with great fierceness and destroyed everything but the iron work of the cars, leaving, of the wreck, nothing but a few bones.

FATAL EXPLOSION.

Three Men Killed at a Quarry Near Boston. Mass. Boston, Jan. 4. —Three men were killed and others injured by an explosion at Townsend and Washington streets, in the Roxbury district, Tuesday morning'. Those killed are Thomas Black, Patrick Huse and Thomas Hardeman. Cornelius Leary was fatally injured and two others were badly hurt

The scene of the accident was a ledge from which the city has been taking stone for several years under contract. Tuesday morning several holes had been bored preparatory to receiving the blasting powder, and Thomas Black was sent to the street, some 20 feet below, to procure the explosive. As he was reascending the hill with a keg of forcite on his shoulder he slipped on the icy surface, the keg falling and exploding with terrific force. Foreman Hardeman and others were standing at the bored holes. Some distance behind Black stood Leary. The concussion tore up the ledge, filling the air with flying pieces of rock, earth, boards and tools.

Hardeman and Black were instantly killed. The former’s body was thrown several hundred feet against the jagged walls, breaking every bone in it. Black was terribly mangled, and Huse, who was standing near the foreman, was thrown several yards in the air, his injuries resulting in death in a few minutes. Leary is at the city hospital so badly hurt that the physicians do not expect his recovery. Gately and McDonald are at the hospital and will probably recover. The noise of the explosion was heard 3 miles and window glass for a long distance was shattered. Missouri’s state treasury shows a balance of $447,302, according to the report just filed.
