of our ward assessors but as they have the
right to revise the assessments under the
existing laws and raise or lower the valua-
tions of properties as fixed by the assessors
it likely that the matter may yet go
before the Judges.
Our assessors did not follow the instruc-
tions of the Commissioners and assess the
properties at their full values, but fixed the
rate on the same basis as last year, with the
exception of making additions for i'm
provemonts on some of the coal lands
The books now in the hands of the
Commissioners are in the same condition as
they were when originally submitted by
the assessors, before the last meeting of
citizens.
When accepting the books the Commits.
sioners gave notice that they would 90 over
the books as board of REVISION and raise
and lower the properties, as they may see
fit. The extent to which they will exer-
else this right will determine whether or
not the books will go before the court.
Assessor Cullen, of ths Fifth ward, says
he notified the Commissioners not to change
valuations in his book without first giving
him an opportunity to be heard.
The action of the Commissioners wi h re-
gard to the Mshanoy City assessments in
dicates that they intend raising all valua-
tions as near as possible to the full figures.
1t appears that the assessor of the First
ward of Mahanoy City raised the assess
ments to the full value, in accordance with
the instructions of the County Commits
sioners The other assessors of the town dis
regarded the instructions and subsequently
tue First ward citizens asked for the return
of their book for correction. The request
was denied, the Commissioners stating that
the books became the prop rty Of the
county when submitted by the assessor and
that the assessments of the ward were
made in accordance with their directions.
As the matter now stands the properties in
the First ward are assessed at full value
and all Others are fixed at about one-half.
1t is believed the latter will be raised by
the Commissioners to what they deem full
value.

To-night's Performance.

The sixth engagement of Alden Bene-
diets Fabio Romani Company in New
York and Brooklyn opened at the Grand
Opera House last night to an immense
audience. The play is full of horrors,
which delight the lovers of the novel.
The stage settings were beautiful. The
closing scene, representation of the erup-
ton of Mt. Vesuyus, with earthquake
effects, calling forth tremendous applause
Walter Lawrence as Fa5io Romani and
Coate Caesare OLiUia, gave satisfaction
while Miss Frances Field in the role of a
heartless beauty named Nina, was more
than excellent. Charles L. Farwell made
great deal of the insignificant part of
Respetti ragpicker. There is scene in
the third act in which Miss Field poses as
the statue of Phyrne in an artists studio
1t was impossible to compare her charms
however, with those of Siby Johnstone on
account of the unfortunate amount of
drapery which enveloped the statue OF
Phyrne, making her look more artistic,
although less exposed. The Spanish skirt
dance by Senorita Szerina was loudly
applauded,-Nelo York Herald. At the

Burgess Smith Fxplain7

Chief Burgess Smuh called at the HER
AID Office this morning and made a
statement regarding the form Of oath he
administered to the Councilman and otheIs
at the organization of Council on Monday
evening. He said that on Monday last the
Borough Solicitor, upon his request looked
over the law to ascertain the correct form
of oath to be administered and that the
Solicitor found that the Act of Assembly
of 1851 YVES the only Act applicable to
boroughs and that prescribes the form of
oath administered by Mr.. Smith, verbatim.
The oath that has been administered here
tofore, Mr.. Smith says, is only administered
to state and county officials. The Burgess
also says that the review of the law was
made by the solicitation and dictaton of
no one other than himself, and he asked it
because ne wished to have the proper form
administered as he was in doubt.

A NarroW Eecana-

A belated drummer had all exceedingly
narrow escape at the Lehigh Valley depot
this morning As the S;52 train pulled out
for Shamokin he made an awkward at
tempt to board it, He caught hold of the
hand rail of the car with his left hand and
made a jump, but fell short Of the step.
Tne train had gained some headway and as
the drummer half ran and half leaped to
keep up with it and save himself from GO
ing beneath the wheels the people at the
depot looked on in breathless excitement.
Finally Engineer Jere Ryan took in the
situation and reversed his engine. The
drummer got on first and his hat followed
him. 1t was an uncertainty for about fifty
yards and the drummer was lucky.

Popular FaVorites

Good wine needs no bush," and the his
torical merits of the popular Barry and
Fay comedy company are too well known
to require any fresh reputation at our

Monday evening in Ferguson's theatre, of
that excellent comedy, "McKennas
Filtration" in which piece Mr.. Barry
personates the love-sick hero. Sparkling
songs and agile dancers are some of the sd-
ded attractions of the play this season,
which will b3 presented with entirely new
scenery and an augmented cast This com
oination is one of the largest and strongest
on the road and if you want to enjoy "a
good hearty laugh don't fail to be there.

PROSPERITY to the farmer means
similar conditions to all who labor;
but prosperity must first come from
the farm, and through the farm to the
factory. The farm stands at the
threshold of production, and If the
farmers labor go unrewarded success
can not come to those who base their
hopes upon what he produces. The
vast interest represented in manufac-
turing, transportation, mining, and
the minor industries must look to
agriculture as basis for all calcula-
tions for the future. 1t then follows
that the home market is the market
worth considering; and the political
party which aims to impair its con-
sUming power should be denounced as
common enemy, publicly arrayed
against prosperity. All perishable
products must find market near
home to be valuable. 1t is far easier to
bring the factory with its employees to
the vicinity of the farm than it is to
transport the perishable product to the
great centres of trade. The increase of
farm property within radius of ten
or twenty miles Of large factory can
be used to demonstrate this truth.

tion of Congress than that body has
hitherto bestowed upon it.
