TOO SOON TO FIGURE

| On How Large the City Tax Valuation Will
Be for Next Year-An Appeals Yet to
BE Heard-Improveds Streets and New
Property Will Swell the Amount -
Assessors Have Big Work Ahead.
Now that the chiefs of departments have
announced their estimates of next years
expenses the question of what the tax rate
will be is uppermost. As yet there can be
nothing but speculation on this score as
the whole question rests on the result of
the assessors work. Until the tax valua-
tion is fixed there can be nothing definite
said about the millage.
From present indications the Board of
Assessors will not have a reasonably correct
estimate of the valuation before the latter
part of next month. As previously stated
in THE DISPATCH, the delay has resulted
from having to wait for the completion of
of County Assessors books for comparison.
OF all the wards in the city only three have
been completed in such a manner as to be
of any service The City Assessors have
not been able to complete one ward up to
this time, and there is nothing from which
definite idea can be obtained.
The Valuation Increase to Be Large.
But it is conceded fact that the increase
in valuation will be large. Perhaps it will
! be sufficient to supply all the increase asked
to operate the departments without any
higher tax rate than the present. Ont in
the East End there are scores of valuable
properties heretofore assessed as rurai. This
year they will be transferred to the regular
city class, and will be taxed accordingly.
This will be done On every street that has
been paved during the past year. Then
there are hundreds of new houses to be
assessed and taxed for the first time. Taken
altogether the increase may amount to $780,.
000, 900, which would make the entire yalu-
alton S210, 900, 000
The Assessors office is inst now the bus
lest place about City Hail. 1t will remain
so all through the month of January, when
the clerks will have to work day and night.
The three wards now in from the County
Assessors are the Fifteenth, Twenty-fourth
and Thirtieth. Appeals will be heard from
the Fifteenth from December % to January
3. For the Twenty fourth ward appeals
will be heard from December 80 to January
3. The time for the Thirtieth ward has not
yet been fixed. Before the Assessors can
furnish Councils the necessary estimate of
the valuation every ward in the city must
be properly advertised and appeals heard on
the assessment. These appeals frequently
result in changes in the books, taking
plenty of time and work.
Difficulties for the Assessors.
"We have hard job ahead" said As
SCISSOR Larkin yesterday. 81 cannot give
any estimate as to the valuation, as not
even one ward has been completed from
which to figure on. There will doubtless
be large increase. 1t is impossible to say
when we will be through, having to wait
for the county books"
Persons who have built homes during the
past year will save considerable to them
selves and the Board of Assessors by calling
at the Office of the latter and making affi-
davit to the cost of their property.

ONLY A PILE OF BRICKS.

Thousands OF Spectators Visit the Scene OF
the Early Morning Expiosion-An Won
der How the Pritchards Were Found
Aive-Coudition of the Injured.
The scene of yesterday mornings explo.
sion on Smallman street attracted many
thousands of spectators. All day crowd
thronged around the ruins. The chief topic
of conversation was the miraculous escape
from death of the inmates. The sight was
indeed a curious one The wreck is one
mass of debris. Not even the semblage of a
building is left. Piles of brick and NOR
tar, with here and there some article of
household furniture or grocery stock is
visible in the pile. Hanging by the chain
to portion of the wreck is q small silver
watch which had stopped at 1872 O'Clock,
showing that Christmas had just begnu
when the explosion occurred. The rear
portion of the building was a frame struc-
ture, and the sides were burst out, allowing
the roof to drop down in such a position
that it hung like canopy over the ruins.
In the yard few chickens were wandering
about and a large Newfoundland dog was
lying on the top of its kennel seemingly
wondering what it was all about.
A visit was paid to the West Penn. Hos
pital, where it was learned that the victims
were ali doing very we'll. Mr.. Pritchard
was the worst injured. His hands were
badly burned and his face scorched. When
seen By THE DISPATCH reporter he was
resting easily. The attendant said he was
doing very nicely, but that he had had too
many visitors, nearly 400 having called dur
ing the day He added: "We have con-
siderable trouble with the women. They
will make remarks on the appearance of the
patients, and in nine cases out of ten take
what little nerve they have left away, and
it takes an hour or two to compose them. F"
Mrs Pritchard received compound
fracture OF the ankle that will in all proba-
bility lame her for life, even ifthe foot does
not have to be amputated. The youngest
child suffered slight fracture of the skull,
but was doing well. The other two were
uninjured and were removed to the homes
of their grandparents in Allegheny yester-
day. David Bennett and Barbara Reich,
the employees of Pritchard, were not serious
ly hurt, and will be able to be out in q few

WASHINGTON, Dec 25.-During Ii year

melter and refner at the Philadelphia mint,
three bars of silver were missed and sup
posed TO have been stolen. The silver bars
were in the legal custody of the melter and
reiner, and he was, therefore, responsible
for them. 1t was shown that the limited
accommodations of the mint did not per-
nit proper storage to be furnished, but
this fact did not relieve Mr. Booth from
legal liability, and he was compelled to
make good the loss by paying TO the
Government the sum of 81 $40, which was
in full for the cost value of the 1881 ounces
of silver bullion lost. The loss of the
