SCHUYLkILL ASSESSMENTS.
The Commissioners of That County Try
ing to Equalize the Rate.

Schuylkill county, like Luzerne, has
been stirred up for the past few months
over its assessments. The valuation OF
the former county under the 1891 assess
ment was $50 100000. A dispatch from
| Pottsville says the commissioners at this
triennial assessment raised it SIS, ,000,.
600. The method they pursued was to
raise the farm properties 80 per cent.
the town properties 100 per cent. and
the coal properties 240 per cent.
The commissioners started with their
appeals on August at Orwigsburg and
have devoted every day since in some
part of the county toward revising the
values. Special counsel was employed
to assist in the appeals. The method
pursued was to have the citizens of each
town and township in the county select
committee from each of their respec-
tive districts to TO take up each property
in its respective township, or borough,
and place value upon it. The commit
tees before starting in their work were
duly instructed as to how the properties
We're to be valued.
The commissioners adopted the figures
of the committees as the basis of the as
sessment. Those taking exception to the
figures placed by the committee could
then appeal. The entire county, except
the boroughs of Pottsvile and Port Car
bon, have been finally passed upon
This work, it is believed, will begin
about the first fair and equitable assess
ment that has ever been made in the
county. The assessment of the coal
lands is on fair way to a settlement
The commissioners had fixed the maxi
mum figure for the best coal located in
Mahanoy valley at 500 per acre and the
minimum figure for the poorest coal
land in the Pottsville district at $l40 per
acre. Both the property owners and
the commissioners have been preparing
for months for legal contest in the
courts over these coal valuations.
More conservative tax payers have
suggested that the proposed contest over
the coal lands might be avoided by the
commissioners modifying their original
figures by permitting those who were
interested in coal properties to appoint
committee to act on coal lands. A meet
ing of representatives of all the coal
interests was held few days ago. The
result OF the meeting was to accept the
modified figures and a committee was
appointed to revise the valuation in ac-
cordance with the figures given. Each
tract will be valued according to the
number of acres it has in each respective
basin.
The result of this important outcome
between the commissioners and the coal
companies, of which the Philadelphia 4
Reading is the heaviest, will bring thou
sands of dollars to the treasury of the
county. The many inequalities that
have existed in the valuation of Goa:
lands in that county heretofore will be u
matter of the past.

Found in the River.

An unknown man, 45 or 80 years of
age, was found floating in the Susque-
hanna near Wilkes-Barre. He was dres-

vest of dark brown. In the pockets
were found a match box, pipe, comb,
knife and tobacco, but no papers to dis
close his identity. His hair is nearly
blacked, streaked with gray and the
mustache of sandy tinge. One of the
front upper teeth is broken off. 1t is

No Advance in Coal Prices.

A conference of Reading officials was
heid at New York on Tuesday in regard
to advancing coal prices at the meeting
OF the sales agents to-day. The trade is
OF the opinion that Mel ,od will not in
slst upon another advance in prices this
year, as the trade is dull now and com
panies outside the combination are cut
ting prices ten cents. 1t is not throupb
any sympathy for the consumer that
this was done, but because an advance
at this time, it is thought, will simply
delay purchases until later and increase
the cutting.

Change for the Wedding Fee.

A clergyman in Cumberland county
had married d couple, and was surprised
by the groom's asking him the amount
of the bill. He had not been accus-
toned to receive anything of much
value, and said that the matter was left
to the groom to decide. but I'd rather
you'd state the figures" was the reply,
and finally the minister said, "Well,
anywhere between one and ten dollars
The groom handed him a five dollar bill
and departed.
In about a fortnight he returned to
the minister's house and said, Look
here, when l gave you that five dollar
bill | expected some change back" The
astonished minister happened only to
have two dollars about him. He took
that from his pocket and gave it to the
man, and there Tie transaction ended
