With the institution of Tabor Castle,

December 81 last, as compiled from the
reports was 40,3l2, an increase of 1915
during the past year. Since then at
least 2000 members have been added by
limitations and new castles.

Probing the Laurel Hill Disaster.

The jury appointed by Deputy Cor
oner German to inquire into the cause
of the Laurel Hill disaster began the
work of taking testimony on Monday
evening, The jury comprises the fol-
lowing named persons: ]. w. Boyle,
Joseph Dixson, A. B. Celiax, John
Johnson, James F. Boyle and Matthew
Miller. The character of the evidence
so far given shows that the men were
ignorant of the proximity of body of
water to the east gangway and that the
inflow was not caused by blast as al
first supposed. The investigation will
be resumed this evening.

ALMOST DEAD.
The New County Bill Gets a Blow Which
Nearly Knocks Its Life Out.

Hazleton was dismal looking town
yesterday. The new county boomers
had heard from Harrisburg, and there
was wailing and weeping from Donegal
Hill to the Diamond. A unanimous
negative report by the house committee
upon Senator Kline's "Hazle county"
bill was more than they expected
Fearing that the shock might cause the
city to collapse and lose itself in the
played-out workings over which it is
built Representative Jeffrey sent them a
dispatch to buoy them up. He said he
Thought the chances were very good to
get it on the calendar next week."
JEFF was indeed very kind and thought
full to let them down so easily, as their
is no telling what the consequences
might have been if he told them there
was no hope for their pet scheme.
While not yet real dead, the bill is
badly paralyzed, as the following account
of its thrashing, from the Philadelphia
Times, will show:
The committee on counties and town
ships on Tuesday knocked the life out
of the scheme to make a new county of
Schuylkill and Luzerne by deciding
against the Kline and jeffrey bill, and
its few friends in this legislature were
greatly surprised and disappointed when
they heard the news. The committee is
reported to have been unanimous in its
decision against the formation of new
county, as provided for in the bill. An
effort will probably be made to place the
bill on the calendar and have it consider
ed on its merits by the house, but its
failure is reasonably certain in view of
its reputation by the house committee
on counties and townships.
We desire to convey the assurances of
our heartfelt sympathy to the Platn
Speaker and Standard, of Hazleton, and
also to Matt Long, upon the defeat of
their pet new county bill in the house
on Tuesday. 1t is sad blow to the
clique headed by Kline, who engineer
ed and pushed the bill, but their loss
is gain to the people in general
Poor Hazleton! There will be weep
ing and mourning there to night
NeioSdedter.
The house committee on counties and
townships played "hob" with Senator
Kline's bill for the erection of the new
county of Halle out of parts of Schuyl-
kill and Luzerne. The bill had passed
the senate after a very hard fight, but
when it got into the hands of the house
committee it received short shrift, that
committee having unanimously decided
to report the bill with negative recon-

The Bessemer indicator., 1893-06-24
A Total of A6.438,72

That is the amount Of taxation Bes-
semer would lsse il the rteel works
and Lake Minnequa were allowed to be
disincorporated from the city.
To settle the question now being dis
cussed as to how much or how little the
steel works and the lake properties are
paying in taxes annually to Bessemer, it
is well to present at this time the facts
in the case as recorded in the county
assessors office: The total assessed
valuation of the steel works for last
year was 1901 400 which at 16 mills city
tax amount to $4,s226O. The fetal as
ssssed valuation of the lake for last year
was $l01 .00s which at I6 mills city tax
amount to sl,6l6.l2- The total amount
of taxes, therefore, paid to the city by
both properties for 1892 was $6, 6,43s.72 or
more than one fifth OF the entire taxes
of the city. The taxes for the present
year will be approximately the same.
Business is business, and the city can
not afford to have its revenues Topped
off in such manner.
1t was argued in the meeting OF the
council by certain aldermen the even
ing Of the inst that the lake paid
only about 300 per annum in taxes and
the care was not worth fighting; but
the mistake is great as the figures
show.
A letter on this subject written by
Assessor N. S. Walpole to Alderman J.
E. Miles in answer to an inquiry is here
given which sets forth some important
facts:
Pueblo, Colo. June 15, 1888.
]. E. MILES, ESQ,
Dear Sir
The assessed valuation, for 1891, for
the town of Bessemer is s2,227,7 ,779; the
lake for same year, 5l26,475; a portion OF

ing total OF $424O75.
For the year 1892 assessed valuation
OF the town Of Bessemer ls a1,9O6, ,992;
lake, $101, ,0O6; a portion OF the steel
works, s3O1 400. Total *4O2,4 ,4OS.

1888 VIII be about as 1t was for lo02

Police Court,

Judge Willauer fined James Faris
s. for leaving his horse unhitched,
and C. w. Lee s. for hitching his
horse to tree, each offence being
in violation of the city ordinances.
B. Eskridge, conductor on a
street car and Guy Livingston were
fined 80 for fighting. Livingston is
mesa lad and came up to Bes-
semer for a ride, pulling the bell
rope and otherwise acting gay when
the conductor bounced him. Hence
the fine.
Wednesday evening Marshal Shay
placed j. 5. Craig, proprietor OF the
Bessemer billiard hall under arrest on
the charge of selling liquors without a
license. Taken before Judge Willauer
he was placed under bond of $500 with
George Mason as bondsman, and the
hearing set for Monday next at 10
o'clock a. m.
The business in the police court has
been heavier this month than ever be-
fore in the history Of the town.

THE CONTINENTAL.
An Important Meeting.

The Continental Building and Loan
Society held meeting at the city
hall Tuesday night last which was at
tended uy many interested members
from Bessemer and Pueblo. The meet
ing was called by II. P. Spencer and
Geo. II Parker, agents, who had i'm
portant business to lay before the mem
bers. Judge w. j. Kerr and T. o.
Bogert, attorney for the company made
speeches. Judge Kerr entertaining his
liste9N5sin his usual eloquent style and
setting forth tine Importance of such a
company in a community, and Attorney
Bogert giving brief and interesting
review of the working of the society up
to date
Among other things that came up for
consideration was bill for printing
which was presented by one C. f. Grill
who opened up an alleged printing shop
here some time ago. The bill was for
Sil 90 for printing some books, which
was more than two and one-half times
as much as the association could have
had the job done for, and the job having
been done in such botched up and
wretched manner that only part of the
order was taken out, the company
naturally made a kick. The presiding
genus of the mis-called News was
present and was scored for the scurrilous
articles published about Mr.. Parker the
state agent. He sat through the ordeal
like culprit and was glad to stink out
of sight when the matter was left to Il
committee for arbitration.

found a sohd support. Since then he
has had a petition printed which has
been placed in the hands Of E. P. Cusl

it. This city is becoming more and
more independent Of Pueblo and among
other things it should have a posta
station from which the mail would be

AFTER MR.. PANNEBAKER.
An Investigating Committee on his
Track,

Things have come to pretty pass
with an alderman OF the city when his
official conduct is so suspicious that it
is subjected to the humiliation Of an in
vestigation, and this is the case with
the hold-over alderman from the first
ward. The letter written by aldermen
Miles, Fisher and Kirk setting forth
their reaaons for signing the petition
asking for the release Of the steel works
from the city limits, which letter was
published in the last issue Of this
paper, caused much comment and the
public demand for an explanation from
Alderman Pannebsker decided the
council to take this important step.
The three aldermen mentioned signed
the petition through false representa-
tions made by Mr.. Pannebaker. They
openly declared this not only through
the columns Of this paper but in the
council meeting Monday night. They.
are after his official scalp and it would
not be surprising to find that he will be
dsposed from the council. 1t is humili-
ating enough 10 be subjected to an in-
vestigation but to be impeached would
be disgrace. As it now stands Mr.
Pannsbaker is a mere stool pigeon in
the council as he has ne vote during the
time the investigation rs pending
When the committe was appointed to
look into his casa he was by law Of the
state suspended from voting from that
moment. His connivance with the
c. F.& 1. Co. to injure the town may
yet cost him his position a. alderman.
