Pretty State of A fairs.

As result of the so-called reforms in
augnrated by the Republican Office
holders who were swept into Office few
years ago, Schuylkill county is practi-
cally bankrupt today. Monday was pay
day for the county officials and the
many clerks, but they did not receive
their salaries because County Treasurer
Davis and Controller Snyder have noti-
fled the commissioners that the county
treasury is empty. The commissioners
refuse to negotiate any more temporary
loans, this amount having reached over
$3.50, 900 and owing to the hard times in
the coal region it will not be posi- ible to
collect sufficient taxes to pay current
expenses. The commissioners adyertis-
cd new bond issue of $220, 900, but the
Taxpayers Association, which is com
posed of coal land and mining companies
filed bill in equity. Judge Koch de-
cided in favor OF the new loan.
The association then appealed the
case to the supreme court, and no deci-
sion can be secured before October.
Until that time little or no money will
come into the county treasury, and
there will be no funds to pay salaries or
the expenses Of the September term of
cpurt

LOCAL WAR NOTES.

The seventh death in the Ninth
Pcnn'a regiment occurred on Monday.
The victim was John J. Hosley, of Pitts
ton, a private OF Company C, aged "a
years. Malarial typhoid was the cause
OF the death and tho disease is still rag
ing in the regiment. More deaths and
more sickness have occurred in the
Ninth than in any other command at
Chickamauga. The regiment has been
ordered to move to a healthier part of
tho camp, also to erect another hospital
tent, 1Sx5O feet. The Ninth has over
$50 men laid up with malaria and
typhoid fever and this is acting against
its chances of seeing active service.
William Polnton, another member of
Company c, died on Tuesday in the
Ninths camp at Chickamauga. He is its
eighth victim of typhoid. The young
man was 20 years of age and resided at
Dupont, near Pittston. He was buried
at the National cemetery near Chatta-
nOOga.

Of Silver Brook wandered away from
his home and since that time has not

going out for walk and with pleasant
goodbye he started off. In the evening
of that same day Samuel Fudge, the
watchman at the IIauto dam, near
Nesquehoning, saw the young man and
spoke to him. Mr.. Reese asked him the
road to Silver Brook distance OF seven
miles, and receiving his instructions dis
appeared down the road. Since that
time nothing has been seen or heard of
him. His father and over one. hundred
friends have searched everywhere, in
quiries have been made through the
police, but no information can be OBJ
tained.
AT home his grief stricken mother
waits for news, and sleeplcss nights and
anxious days attest her sorrow. ANY
information will be gratefully received
and considered favor. The Young
man did not drink but was subject to
epileptic fits. He is a five feet seven
inches tall, slim built and pallid smooth
shaven face. lie wore a red, white and
