is thought to have led to the set.
Since the birth of the child the woman
has been seriously ill, andon several ctr
casions has wished for death to pad her
sufferings. Taking her child in her arml.
she stealthily left the house and made her
way to the tracks of the Consoliaswd
road. along which the express from Bos-
ton was nearly due. As the train rushed
into view the woman placed herself close
to the rail. paying no attention to the
warning whistle given by the engineer.
Before anything could be done to check
the train, still hearing her babe in her
arms. the frenzied mother dashed forward
and threw herself beneath the wheels of
the engine. - Both mother and child were
ground and mangled into an indescriba-
ble condition.
As soon as the train could be stopped
many persons rushed back, only to wit-
ness a horrible scene. Friends of the
woman were soon found, and the remains
were cared for. The husband of the sul-
cide is prostratcd by his bereavement. and
the engineer of the train is suffering from
a nervous shook caused by the affair.

New Your, April il.-Another suit to
test the constitutionality of the income
tax law has instituted in the circuit
court of the ted States here. It is an
action in equity brought by Charles Allen
of Greenfield, Mass, a’againat the Illinois
Central Bailrcad company et al. The
counsel of the complainant are Joseph
H. Cheats, Clarence A. Seward. William
D. Guthrie, David Willcox and Charles
Steele.
In his hill of complaint the complain-
ant. after setting forth the organization
of the railroad company, the amount of
personal property held by it and other
matters in relation thereto, declares that
he is informed that the company intends
to pay, under the provisions of the income
tax law. a tax of :5 per cent on all Eta net
profits and income for the year 189.».
The bill then avers that the income tax
law is unconstitutional in that if said tax
is collectible upon the company's income
and profits it is a direct tax in respect of
the railway property. fixtures and ap-
purtenances operated and owned by the
defendant company by being imposed

and profits thereof. which direct taxes are
not apportioned among the several states,
as required by the constitution.
Points Against the Law.
It is further averrcd that if the income
tax be held not to be a direct tax, then its
provisions are nevertheless unconstitution-
al in that they are not uniform through-
out tho United States, as required by the
constitution.
The nonuniformity of the law is than
pointed out at length. after which the bill
declares that the exemption of mutual
insurance companies. building and loan
associations. savings banks, institutions
constructed on the mutual plan. etc... is
unconstitutional in that those exemptions
operate to arbitrarily free said companies
from the payment of their just propogtion
of taxation.
The bill further sets forth that the tax
is unconstitutional for the reason that it
impairs vested property rights; that all
persons or corporations taxed may be de-
prived of their property without due proc-
ess of law, and that all persons or cor-
porations taxed may be compelled to pro-
docs and disclose their private books and
papers in order to make them liable for a
penalty or to forfeit their property, all of
which is against the express terms of the
constitution.
The complainant therefore prays that
the defendants be restrained from volun-
tarily complying with the income flu law,
and that he be granted such other relief
as the court may deem meet.
Judge \Vilson's Plan of Attack.
Wssumuros. April ll.——Jcro M. Wil-
son, counsel for hirf'Jobn ll. Moore of
New York city in his income in: suit,
when asked rcgnrding his intention to
again lost the law, said:
“It will be essentially the old issue over
again exccpl that it will be presented to a
full bench. and the decision therefore will
be decisive one way or the other. The pur-
pose of the new suit will not be so much
to raise new questions as to prom-m the
same questions for final adjudication.
There is no doubt that the law will be
passed on finally and decisively sconcr or
later,"
Judge Wilson's purpose is to advance
the new case through its preliminary
stages in the lower courts while the su-
preme court is short a full bench. By Ibo
time the case is ready for argumcnf in lilo
supreme court it is expected that Justina
Jackson will be sullicicntly recovered to
pcrlmt him to return to the bench or that
his successor will have quulllimi.

plete their supplemental regulations in.
day. All of the main points to be covered
have bcou practically agreed upon, and
tonight the commissioner oxpwts to put
them in proper form. There seems to be
county or municipal, or whcthcr on per.
canal or real property. except such as are
intended to directly benefit the property
taxed, such as stroln. improvement hues,
may be deducted from the income to be
remind.
As to rents from mixed property. such
as is furnished hotel. the commissimwr
will no doubt hold that the owner must
himself sopamtc the taxable from the
nontaxable and state the proportion of
the rents derived from each. In making
returns taxpayers will be required to spec-
ify in detail what the exemptions are,
including the amount of rents received
and on what particular property.
Senator ilill. in an interview here, said:
“As soon as the fifty-fourth congress con-
venes I intend to offer a bill in the senate
to repeal the tax. i believe that the ac-
tion of the supreme court has practically
emasculalcd the measure and has left so
little in it to commend itself to the Amer.
Acan people that congress will in ohm or-
der repeal the olmoxlous measure from
the statute books. "

WASlllNo'ros, April ll.——'i'ho cable re-
ports that seven of the eight terms of
peace between China and Japan havcbcen
agreed on occasion much lpcculstion here
as to the eighth term on which Japan in-
sists. The Japanese lcgnilon has received
no cables in many days, and the ofllcinls
say they have no information of the eight
conditions. There is no doubt, however. ‘
that five of the most essential conditions
are those given in these dispatches at the
outset of the negotiations—viz, a new
Japan-China trmty conceding Japan ex-
tra territorial courts in China. but deny-
ing the latter country extra territorial
courts in Japan; independence of Korea;
an indemnity of about “00,000,000; oc-
cupation of Port Arthur and \l‘ci-Hai-Wei
for a term of years; session of the island
of Formosa.
These five terms are now fully confirm-
ed by tho later developments of the con-
feroncc.
Three additional ones have now been
added. and those. it is believed, relate to
trade matters. Which on; of these eight
terms of peace is the canw of delay is not
known here.
THE WAGES OF SIN.

the Presence of Her Children.
NEWARK, N. J., April li.—-()n the sec-
ond floor of c. three story tenement house
at i05 Magazine street was committed a
crime which cost two lives.“ For causes
not yet clearly understood Joseph Buck
shot Mrs. Tessie Williams and then sent a
bullet into his own brain. The two little
daughters of the munlcred woman saw
the tragedy. Buck visited hirs. Williams
in the afternoon. and after a brief comer
cation, which ended in angry words. he
drew a revolver from his pocket. and aim-
ing deliberately at the Woman fired. The
bullet entered just behind the right car,
and death was almost instantaneous. Not
satisilcd, hnwcvcr. the murdcrcr fired two
more shots into her body. ’l‘hen, pressing
the revolver against his forehead he lived
again, dying instantly.
Only one Quarry has been advanced as
to the probable cause of the crime it is
believed to have been due to a love affair.
Buck was a German and about so years
old. Ills victim was the wife of Ferdi-
nand Williams. a stone cuttcr. For some
wccks previous to last Saturday, Williams
was in St. Michael's hospital, and during
that time Buck had been a frequent vls~
itor of the Williams family.
