Mrs. Koehlei, wife of Rev. W. II Kochler,

proved herself a bcroltio last evening under
circumstances of a most trying character,
and at tho risk of great personal iDjnry,
bravely and successfully fought a blazo
which, but for Sirs. Koehler s prcsonco of
mind and determination, would in all prob
ability have led to a serious firo.
Tho blazo was caused by a Dash from a
match. When tho match was struck to
light a lamp thero was an extraordinary flash
and a spark How sovoral feet to and ignited a
drapery suspended between the parlor and
dining room. In an Instant there was a
blaze that threatened to envelop both opart

fled in dismay, thrown open tho front door
and screamed for help, thus Increasing the
danger by creating a current of air, and
alarming the comniuuity generally by caus

ROYAL UXIM
MERCANTILE TAX LAW.
l.imctetl nt tlio ltecent Sessions uf the
Pennsylvania Legislature.
The one revenue law which passed the
legislature that is certain to add something to
the stato revenues la what Is known as the
mercantile tax law. It Is a measure in which
every person engaged In mercantile pursuits
is directly Interested, and about which Shen
andoah merchants should familiarize them
selves.
The new law abolishes the system of
classification which exists under the existing
mercantile tax law. It imposes upon each
retail dealer an annual mercantile tax of two
dollars and a tax of one mill upon each
dollar of gross sales. Tho license fee fur
wholesale dealers is threo dollars and tho tax
upon sales ono-half mill upon the dollar.
Dealers belonging to any Exchange or Hoard
of Trade aro lequlred to pay a tax of twenty-
11 vo cents on each thousand dollars sold In
open board oi exchange.
Tho chlof difference between this and the
former mercantile tax law Is, that whllo tho
cost of the lowest license under the old law
was $7.60, tho highest was only $1,000.
Under the present law tho llcenso fee Is made
very small and uniform upon all dealers In
the samo class, and the real tax is levied
upon tho amtuut of goods sold, county
treasurers being empowered to call for the
books and papers or any merchant or mer
cantile firm refusing to furnish a true ac
count of sales under oath. Returns must be
made at tno close or cacti calendar year
upon blanks prepared by the Auditor Gen
eral. At the now rate of taxation sales amount
ing to $1,000,000 annually would pay $1,000,
the highest rate now paid by any retail mer
chant or firm. It is claimed that this sliding
scalo will be more equitable upon tho small
venders and dealers, and compel those who
do a largo business to ply their proper pro
portionate amount of taxes. As to the total
amount tho now law will bring Into the State
Treasury one guess will be as good as another
until tho collections for the first year have
been made. Tho estimate of tho fiscal
o Dicers of tho stato Is that it will produce
from $500,000 to $700,000 more than is dc
rived from this source under the present law.
Without attempting to forecast the addition
to tbe state revenues that will arise from this
new law, it Is but just to say that in principle
it seems to be fair and equitable to all parties
affected.

Lnnuimtcr Ctunr Mnuufhcturorw.
Philadelphia, April 2C The sensa-
tlon that has been looked for In tho
gigantic counterfeiting scheme un
earthed by tho secret service bureau
after a year of patient work came to
light yesterday afternoon In the arrest
of ex-United States District Attorney
Ellery P. Ingham, charged In the
same manner as bis law partner, ox-
Assistant United States District At
torney Harvey K. Newltt, with having
conspired to bribe a secret service op
erative to divulge secrets of tho bu
reau that would Insure thoso engaged
In defrauding tho government protec
tion from arrest. Mr. Ingham was
taken beforo Commissioner Edmunds,
who held him In $10,000 ball for a
hearing today. Tho ball was furnished'
and Ingham appeared before tho com
missioner again today, with Nowltt,
and the cases wero continued until
Thursday, the same ball being ac
cepted In both cases.
Chief Wllkle and Chief Burns ar
rived here late last night from Lancas
ter with Deputy Internal Revenue Col
lector Downey In their custody. Tho
prisoner was turned over to Deputy
United States Marshal Foster.
Chief Wllkle said to a reporter that
Downey had received between $900
and $1,500 from Jacobs as compensa
tion to keep tho latter Informed of the
movements of the secret service men
"On Oct. 10 last," the chief said,
"Downey called at Jacobs' office. Tho
latter noticed that something was
wrong with the revenue officer, and
asked him what was the matter with
him. Downey informed him that he
was In financial trouble and did not
know how ho could get out of It. Then
Jacobs offered to loan Downey $100
The latter accepted the offer and vol
unteered to keep Jacobs Informed of
what tho government officials were do
ing, Downey knowing that Jacobs was
defrauding tho government. From that
time on Downey frequently 'touched'
Jacobs for various amounts. The last
money paid to Downey was on April
17, when Jacobs gave him $500."
In regard to the arrest of Ingham
Chief Wllkle would not say much. "All
I can Bay Is this," ho Bald, "that Jacobs
and the reBt of the gang wanted to get
insido information from tho secret sor
vice men in this city. Ingham and
Newitt were formerly United States at
torneys and knew much of the inside
workings of the government. Jacobs
knew this and approached them cau
tiously, but he finally got there.
"These arrests aro the last that will
be made In connection with this case,
unless there Is more In It than
we know of now. I am perfectly sat
isfied with the result of our year's
work. In results It was the greatest
apturo ever made by the secret ser
vice. Taylor and Bredell had already
put Into circulation bogus $100 treas
ury notes to tho amount of $10,000, and
Jacobs and Kendtg had placed coun
terfeit stamps on boxes containing be
tween 40,000,000 nnd 50.000,000 cigars.
The loss to the government from tho
cigar stamps alone will amount to
about $140,000."
THE AltltKST OF DOWXEY.
Clinrged With ruriilKliln;; .Information
tror a cum 11 Conxldpratlou.
Lancaster, Pa., April 25. One of the
most Important arrcstB In the crent
counterfeiting conspiracy was made in
this city yesterday by Captain Burns,
of tho secret service. Samuel U. Dow
ney, an outside deputy revenue col
lector, was taken Into custody nnd held
In $10,000 hall for trial. The town is
greatly excited over tho nrrest.
Early In tho day Deputy Colloctor
Downey received an Inkling that the
secret service mou wero after him, and
he at once repaired to Brown & Hen
sel's office, they being his counsel. As
he came out of the office Captain
Burns placed him undor arrest and es.
corted him to Colloctor Hershey's of-
flee In the postoffico building. Then
he was taken to the olllce of United
States Commissioner B. P. Montgom
ery, who fixed his ball at $10,000, which
he was unable to secure.
Downey has made a complete con
fession. Last April, when Taylor and
Bredell, the engravers, of. Philadelphia,
nad made their arrangements with Ja
cobs & Kendlg, Captain Burns came
here and secured detailed Information
regarding tho habits of the cigar man
ufacturers. They Introduced the se
cret service man to Downey, who ap
peared to Burns to be over zealous in
his efforts to assist tho detective. He
was continually admonished.
Last October Jacobs & Kendlg clean
ed out their plants, which aroused Cap
tain Burns' suspicion. He knew they
had received Information from Dow
ney, but attributed It to his anxiety to
assist the secret service. Jacobs &
Kendlg did not trust Downey, and
made an effort to reach the secret
service. They had paid Downey, the
detectives say, $500 to keep them In
formed, but feared that ho was not re
liable. After the alleged attempted
bribery by Newltt, In Philadelphia.
Burns told Downey that the secret ser
vice was disgusted with the case and
intended to drop it. This Information
was convoyed to Jacobs & Kendtg, who
then began to work like beavers and
noouea tno country with cigars con
taining bogus stamps. The secret ser
vice men say they now have all tho
culprits under arrest.
Downey was appointed four yeara
ago by uaymond E. Shearer, Demo
cratlc collector, and was so well
thought of that Collector Herauey, Re
