On Monday at 1 o'clock p. N. q trial will take
place between the Good Intent and hesolution
Steam Fire Engine Companies, at the old Log

q side They are to play for three successive
hours and 20 average the same every three
minutes; the nozzles to be / u inch, and the sec
tions of hose used ave to be fifty feet; each
steamer to be fred by either coal or wood, and
the use of tar, spirits, etc, Is forbidden. There
is also provision made for the bursting of hose
and suctions when they will cease playing until
the same is remedied. If the weather is not
suitable they are TO appoint another day. The
following is the capacity of their steamers;-
The Good Intent is single engine, having
steam cylinder of ten inches in diameter, with
twelve inch strokes the bore of the pump is five
inches in diameter, twelve Inch stroke; the
number of receiving valves are sixteen (brass
clap valves); the number of discharge valves
are twelve; number of tubes in boiler 220, being
Ia by 36 inches in length; the size of suction,
AZ in the clear
The Resolution is a double engine, having a
steam cylinder 71a inches in diameter the bore
of the pumps 4 d inches in diameter, with 8-inch
stroke; the receiving valves are three inches in
diameter (gum valves); there are four discharge
valves on each end of the pumps; number of
tubes In boiler, $50, IL by 10 inches in
length; size of suction, Al in the clear.
1t will be seen by the above that the engines
OF the two companies are very equal as to capa-
city, the one being double engine, while the
other is a single one and therefore this match
cannot fail to attract considerable attention.
vETo.-The Mayor at noon to-day called
upon Chief Downey and informed him that the
proposed trial" between the Resolution and
Good Intent Steam Fire Engines must not take
place. The Mayor then caused notices to be
served upon the President of each company,
notifying them of the fact. His Honor bases
his objections on the ground that the matter is
gambling, money being bet, and further that q
large body of fremen gathered at such contest,
and some perhaps intoxicated, might give rise
to riot and perhaps blOodshed.

The anthracite coal trade is now In very

than half the collieries in Schuylkill county are
in operation, on account OF the late dithcul-
ties with the men. At a meeting OF operators
held at Pottsville on the 18th inst, 1t was re-
solved to reduce wages on the second of April
from the SO to the $3.50 basis as offered by the
Executive Board of the Anthracite Board of
Trade. This will make the wages of outside
hands 80, inside $40, and miners Sl2 per week.
Contract work is to be reduced thirty per cent.

Schuylkill county and in Columbia and North,
cumberland counties partial stoppage is looked
for. In view of this fact there is now great
demand for coal. The stocks as general thing
are very small and dealers are endeavoring to

The Best Way to Pay Taxes.

The subject Of taxation in our county
aud state is, and hus always been, one
that tho people take lively interes, in.
1t has been very appropriately remarked
that the pocket nerve is perhaps the most
sensitive iu the system; and he who can
mark out the best plan to prevent ritilla
tious Of it yearly by the tax collector
deserves proper amount Of credit.
But to the direct point we have under
consideration For the sake of illustra
tion, We will assume that on average tax
for each person in the county will be
6fty dollars, and that this includes his
state, county and railroad tax. The tax
Of many, to be sure, will be under, aud
others ovor this amount. Those who pay
more than 6fty dollars will better have
the means to carry out the system we
are about to suggest. Nov, If each
farmer, whose tax is Rfty dollars or nea.
shat amount, would sell of bis surplus
stock and grain aud collect his outstand
ing debts, there are but few who could
not raise four hundred and twenty Eve oI
four hundred and ffay dollars, This
amount would buy county bond. and
the interest thereon would pay bis taxes
for tho term they are issued (teu years.
and the owner of the boua would receive
seyenty-6ve dollars more money than be
paid. the bond calling for Eve hundred
dollars. .f a. r.ar IT,. &. la.
h. No ono doubts that Lincoln county will
levy and collect tax for the purpose oi
paying tho principal and interest on the
bonds now being issued. Then, Why no.
buy them and pay the county of iu its
own paper? '' -.a ..'
Any one who will take the trouble tc
Investigate the subject will God that tb,
financial condition Of this county is very
good. The present assessment will nearl!
or quite pay all indebtedness Of thu
county. including tho poor-house, cour
house and bridge. With q tax equal t
that Of 1869 and au addition Of twenty
Eve or City cents to the hundred dollars
tho county will be able to pay the Inter
est and principal Of the railroad tax j
eight or nine years. ,. Il.
Nov, include the immigration, the IA
on the coal interest. sod that Of the raj
roalItself. aud tho amount Of taxes pal
10 1859 will be reduced to oas half
Eve or six years, and LINCOLN county vi
take rank amoog the Foremost in Il
