Ways and Means Committee.
Washington, Jan. 11. The ways and
means committee of the house met to
day for the first time in months. It was
expected the meeting might bring im
portant developments, in view of the
government's need of increased revenue.
No positive conclusions were reached,
however, beyond the reference of several
questions to sub-committees and a favor
able report on the bill exempting from
duty the exhibits at the Baltimore ex
position in 1897. The action of the com
mittee was looked upon as significant,
indicating that no tariff legislation will
be pushed- this session. Wilson stated,
informally, that the revenuee had
shown a promising increase since the
woolen schedule went into effect, Janu
ary 1st. The resolution by Pence of
Colorado, asking the secretary of the
treasury to inform congress as to the ad
visability of increasing the beer tax,
was voted down without division, and
an unfavorable report will be made in
accordance with the suggestion of Tars
ney, that the requested information was
fully covered by the annual reports of
the secretary of the treasury and the
commissioner of internal revenue. The
bill of Money of Massachusetts for in
creasing the beer tax was referred to the
sab-committee on internal revenue.
Wilson's bill to take off one-tenth differ
ential on sugar was also referred to the
.ub-committee : Whiting requested the
correction of an error in the tariff law as
to hemp carpets. Beed objected, with
the sarcastic statement that the law was
all errors. The proposed correction was
then referred to a sab-committee. -
Suffocated by Gas.
New Yobk, Jan. 11. Two men and a
boy were suffocated by gas this morning
in the tenement at 343 Grand street.
The dead are: Jacob Rosenberg, 13
years of age; Abraham Bersan, 22; Jo
seph Jacobeen, 75.
An overturned gas stove caused the
tragedy. The flat is occupied by Jacob
Rosenborg, a butcher. Some time ago
the flat was robbed, and Rosenburg had
his workmen sleep there to guard
against burglars, and young Rosenburg
slept with them. The men slept on an
improvised bed on the floor. A gas
stove near the foot of this bed, used to
heat the room, was found overturned
and the gas pouring therefrom. It had
evidently been kicked over by one of the
men in his sleep. When discovered
life was extinct in the men, while the
boy barely breathed. He died shortly
after.
Bimetallic Leacnt,
Washington, Jan. 11. General A. J.
Warner, president of the Bimetallic
League, admitted today that a conference
of leading bimetallists from different
parts of the country had been held in
this city recently. "It was the decision
of the conference,", he said, "and a
strong ancf growing sentiment is mani
festing itself in favor of uniting the
friends of bimetallism in a bimetallic
party, and appealing directly to the
people on money issues alone. The con
Bideration which seems to be leading to
this result is the widespread conviction
that there is no hope of restoring the bi
metallic standard through the republican
- party, or through the democratic party
as now controlled, and, on the other
band, it is equally impossible to accom
plish this result within the lines of the
populist parly, or to unite on the Omaha
platform those in favor of restoring the
bimetallic standard as it was before
1873."
A Severe Electric Shock.
New Yobk, Jan. 10. Mrs. Delia Ho-
gan got on trolley car jno. icso, oi ine
Seventh avenue line, in Brooklyn, yes
terday. Just as she entered the door
and was looking for a seat she dropped
as it shot, rne twitcning oi ner Doay
and the distortion of her face led the
passengers to believe that she had a fit,
but when she was removed to the Nor
wegian hospital the house surgeon de
clared that she was suffering from an
electric shock. She will be able to leave
the hospital in a day o'r two. It is
thought there was a leak of electricity,
and that it reached her through a metal
plate patching a hole in the floor of the
car. '
Oystermen Afloat on the Ice.
Satville, L. I., Jan. 11. While 75
men were at worn nere on tne ice-covered
Great South bay yesterday, dredg
ing for oysters, the ice broke from the
shore and drifted away with the men.
Many of them plunged into the water
and swam ashore. Others waited for
the boats to take them off. Jacob Burr,
one of the oystermen, was chilled when
he struck the water, and could not
swim. He was saved by the boats.
The work of rescue was viewed by a
large crowd, including member of the
men's families, and great excitement
reigned.
Two Negroes Hinged for Murder.
Chaitanooga, Jan. 11. George Mape
and Buddy Woolen, young negroes, were
hanged today. Woolen died a Catholic,
Mape, however, refused to see a minister
and his last words were, "This is what
an innocent man gets, by ." He re
quested that his body be thrown into
the river, and said he would come back
tonight to haunt the sheriff and all
others who had anything to do with his
conviction. The two negroes murdered
Marion L. Ross, a white saloon keeper,
December 17, 1892. Robbery was the
motive. Woolen confessed, implicating
Mape.
Murderous Burglars.
San Fbakcisco, Jan. 11. Two men
entered the handsome residence of Julius
L. Franklin, on California street, early
this morning, for the purpose of robbery.
They were detected by Frank G. Miller,
the butler, who slept in a room in the
basement! The burglars attacked
Miller, who tried to use a revolver, and
they beat and kicked him into insensi
bility. During the struggle, Miller's
revolver was discharged, alarming the
house. The murderous burglars there'
upon made their escape, taking with
them $25 and a few pieces of jewelry.
The Ohio Tbtrty-Seven feet Above Low
Water Mark at Moon.
Pabkeb8bcbg, W. Va., Jan. 11. The
situation here today is more alarming
than at any time during the flood. The
Ohio river was 37 feet above low water
mark at noon and rising rapidly. All
mills and factories on the south side are
submerged. Lockport, Newport and
Riverside, suburbs, are flooded, and
many families have been driven to
higher ground. Lumbermen estimate
their losses at $250,000.
The Hawaiian Cable.
Washington, Jan. 11. Representa
tive Hitt, recognized as the republican
leader in the house in foreign affairs,
said today that he fully agreed with the
president that the Hawaiian islands
should have the benefits of telegraphic
communication with the world at large,
but was strongly opposed to putting
their cable facilities under the control of
any government but that of the United
States. Hitt favors a subsidy for an
Hawaiian cable.
He Was Going to Heaven.
Richmond, Ky., Jan. 11. William
Taylor, colored, was banged today for
the murder of Davis Doley, December 7,
1894. About 5000 people saw him drop.
He declared he was going to heaven.
