The public are watching with some
interest, if not amusement, the progress
of an inquiry before Alderman Barr to
determine the cause and origin of a re-
cent incendiary attempt at fire in this
city. There have been great many
fires in Lancaster during the past few
years, and many hundreds of thousands
of dollars worth of property have been
destroyed. Nearly all of these have been
very mysterious in their origin, none
more so than two which happened since
the one being investigated occurred.
Bat of all this number, it seems that
the district attorney never considered
any worth an inquest except the one
which did least damage and concerning
the cause and origin of which there has
never been any doubt. The inquest, it
is true, drags its length along painfully
slowly, adjourning one night because of
the absence of one juror, and the next
on account of the failure of another to
be on hand. At the present rate of prog
ress it will most likely conclude its labors
about the time Hiestand, Eberman,
Triple & Co. are ready to begin the in

test which the Examiner gravely assured
us had been " undertaken solely in the
interest of honest elections" and which
must therefore be delayed " solely in the
interest of fraud.

The triennial assessment of the real
estate in this city takes place next No
vember and some care should be taken
by those entrusted with it to relieve the
valuation from the present inequalities
and unevenness which make it unreli-
able and unjust. The lack of uniformity
between the rate of valuation in the sew
eral wards and in the different proper
ties of the same ward may be due az
much to the incompetency and favorit.
ism of assessors as to their lack of judg-
ment, but when properties held by their
owners ut from $4,000 to $4,000 are
rated at from $1,000 to $1,000, while
others are marked up to their actual
selling price, it is plain that somebody
suffers over-taxation and others are not
paying their share. In most cases, we
believe, it will be found that the smaller
estates are rated most nearly at their
actual value. The best way to secure a
uniformity would certainly be to fix the
standard 1T q real market value, and
there should be some intelligent revisory
power to sec that the property rated too
low be put up as well as that that which
is assessed too high be brought down. !

between the college club and nine COM
posed of young gentlemen of the city.
Most of the members of the picked nine
were well-known baseballists in former
years and they desired to exercise them
selves by a match with the college nine,
although they had no hopes of beating
them. In the first inning the city nine
went to the bat, with Redenour first. He
succeeded in getting his run in and before
the game was over added two more,
making three out of the seven. The col
lege boys succeeded in getting seven men
over the home plate in the first inning.
and although they were " skunked" " SOW
