C., Sept. 21.—Af- ter its hearing had been completed the ways and means committee lost no time in making its sub-divisions for the preparation of the tariff bill. Chairman Wilson is of the opinion that the committee will be enabled to report the bill to the House by November 1 to 5. The sub-commit- tee on scheduler, which is charged with an examination of the tariff duties, consists of Messrs Wilson, Stevens, McMillin, Bynum and Tars- ney. The other sub-divisions of the committee are on administration tar- iff bills fixing the customs, anda third charged with evolving recip- rocity plans aud income tax bill. There has been an avalanche of bills already introduced providing for an income tax, for all of which the ways and means committee enb- stitute a plan of ite own. What that will be cannot at this time be out- lined. It is currently reported that the administration favors au income tax, but no one pretends to speak authoritatively on the subject. All manner of schemes for raising reve- nue by direct taxation have been ad- vanced iu the bills providing for an income tax already before the house. Mr. Arnold of Missouri has gone further than auybody else in insist- ing upon a tax of 5 per cent. on in- comes of $2,000 a year. In none of the other bills is it proposed to tax incomes of less than $5,000. On in-| 5 comes of $10,000 Mr. Arnold seeks to place a tax of 10 per cent. Mr. Clark of Missouri, is more moderate and proposes to tax incomes of $7,- 000 3 per cent. over $10,000, 6 per cent. In this way he runs the gamut his evident intention being to shut off altogether the multi millionaires for the tax on incomes of $300,000 he wants fixed at 20 per cent. Get the News.

TRAINMEN WITH GRE They Vefeat an Attempt to Rob} the Thnois Central THE ENGIN: VEN stsri cy is AVE Wound died) two Under Strest, 21 —The thed this e tus £2 tock last u ret attempted to iv iv uptie Chicago New Orleans limited express train on the Illinois Central, which arrived from Chicago (eae hours late. The attempted rob- Cos occured ut the coal chute south of the city. The robbers were given a warm reception and finally beaten off. One of the robbers was badly wounded and three of the trainmen, two seriously. Yesterday afternoon three straug- ers were noticed lounging about tbe Illinois Ceutral depot as waiting for It is supposed that these were the robbers. It is believed tbat when the train pulled up here the robbers got on the front end of the express car. When the coal chute was reached, where the coal i= taken on, they climbed over the ten der. Asthe train was about to start, after coaling, two of the men confronted Engineer Ben Young and Fireman Ed McDonough and commanded them to stop. “Don’t move for your life,” cried one of the robbers, but the engineer and fireman paid no heed to the command, and made a spring for the robbera They were wet with shots from the revolvers in the hands of of the robbers, which laid En gineer Young was seriously wonnd ed. He was shot twice, cue of the bullets entering his sboulder and plowing through the arm down to the elbow, where it made its exit, aud the other penetrating his back left hip. The fireman received a shot in the fore- head and one in the leg. The two robbers then proceeded to the express car demanded admit- tance, but they were met with a vol a train and lodging iu his ley from the express messenger and | Conductor Oduw, who had gone to the express car to see the messen ger. Volley after volley was fired by both besieged aud besiegers, until the door was shot full of holes.

When | the wounded robber fell to the floor the two utbers, seeing the game was up, started ou arun and disappear ed in the darkness As soon as the outlaws had taken their departure ore of the train hauds went back to Centralia aud aroused the marshal, who immedi- ately organized searching parties. These at once began scouring the surrounding country. When the facts became known generally, excitement was at a high pitch and there was considerable talk of lyuching, but the cooler heads controlled, and the wounded man was taken to jul where a physician dreseed his wounds. It not thought he ca» survive. While the shooting in the express car was going ou Conductor Odum was slightly wounded in the hand. The wounded robber is known as D. L Jones. He carries a card from the Order of Railway Trainmen, issued by one of the Chicago lodges and he aiso has a switchmen’s card from the A.T.&S. F. at Kansas City. The train always carried a lot of valuable express matter. While the express people decline to state the amount of mouey which was on the train, it is learned from reliab!te sources that one of the safes con- tained fully $50,000 in currency. It is believed that the would be rob- bers had received iuformatiou as to the amount of movey ia the car, and that they wanted to blow open the safe. As soon as the passengers in the train were notified that robbers were jattacking the train they hurriedly secreted their valuables and about the cars terror-stricken. The wounded bandit was threaten }ed with lynching unless he wade a full coafession. Jones is a Catholic anda priest was introduced and | Joues then gave the names of the members of the gang as O'Dwyer and Harding.
