j. Jones, the young man who was killed last
week by land slide at Thos w. Jones &
Co.'s qnarries. on Slate Ridge, was 10 years
of age, and resilient of Coulsontown, Pa.
We have since learned that his body was not
found underneath the mass of earth which
fell into the quarry, but in pool of water
eighteen feet deep, covered with ice. AS
there were no marks upon the body it is
supposed he was drowned.
James McManus, Richard Perry an two
Welsh workmen, whose names we could not
learn, were severely and Thomas w. Jones,
John Perry and another, slightly injured
None of ii ese, it is stated, were struck by
the falling earth and rocks, but were violent
ly hurled against the opposite side of the
quarry by the concussio- of air caused by
the sudden descent of such mass.
The spot was regarded as dangerous for n
long time prior to the accident, on account
OF crack existing in the earth, and the
workmen were frequently cautioned against
venturing Upon the dangerous locality,

THE AssEssMENT.-Mes Robert E.
Morgan, James NJ. Cain and Robert P.
MITCHELL who compose the Board of Review,
have concluded their examination of the
work of the assessors for Hartford county
The whole amount of taxable property in
the county is placed at 1922 1909, n de-
crease of $423,300 as compared with the
basis of last years taxation,
The districts which show an increase are
Halls Cross Roads and Havre de Grace,
comprising one collection district, S73, 1856
and Dublin, $220230.
The decrease in the other districts is as
follows: Abingdon, $272,422; Bel Air,
1896, 7S9; Marshall's $14S,704.
The total number of tax payers in the

fact that property heretofore assessed in them
is now assessed in adjoining districts.
