The Commissioners of this county, late
yesterday agreed with II. Pierson, Jr.. of
Philadelphia, for a loan Of $50 900, at four
per cent. and at premium of s. 900 This
new loan is to liquidate the floating indebt-
edness of $780, 600 to which the present Com
missioners fell heir from the Commissioners
preceding them, who were deposed from
Office because of misdemeanor. The old loan
is held by several banks in the county, for
which six per cent. is being charged. In
May, 1895, the present Board proposed to
fund this debt, but County Controller Snyder,
then in office, and the Taxpayers Associa-
ton went into court to restrain them. The
plaintiffs insisted that this debt should be
paid out of the uncollected taxes for the years
in which the debt was contracted Judge
Koch, however, decided that il was not a
case Of equitable interference, and ruled that
the Board had the power to fund the floating
Indebtedness. TIE case was appealed by the
plaintiffs to the Supreme Court, and Judge
Koch was sustained in an opinion by Chief
Justice Sterrett on Monday last. In pursu-
ance of that ruling the Commissioners yester-
day entered into the agreement with PiersOn.
The refunding will save more than two per
cent. interest to the taxpayers.

The Saturday Night Review. the leading
weekly publication of Pottsville, draws at.
tention to the fact that two old, established
operations, the colliery of the Roberts Goa
Company and the washery of the Broad
Mountain Coal Co., at New Castle, have beer
idle all the winter because of decision o.
the Supreme Court, obtained by the borough
of Port Carbon. The latter objects to the
coal dirt deposits The Review finds fault
with the borough for not being satisfied with
the awards of damages obtained in the lower
court, instead Of forcing these industries to
close down and throwing one hundred men
out Of employment by appealing the case to
the higher court. This should demand the
attention Of Pottsville's Board Of Trade,
suggests the Review.

centrated.
The First Nebraska, First South Da-

ments encountered them entrenched on
the border of the woods, and the
Americans, advancing across the open,
suffered a terrific fire for half an hour.
Four men of the Nebraska regiment
were killed and 30 were wounded.
Ten men of the Dakota regiment were
wounded and one Of the Pennsylva-
mans was killed.
The Americans finally drove tho
Filipinos back. Although there were
three lines of strong entertainments
along the track, the enemy made
scarcely any defense there. General
Macarthur and his staff were walking
on the track abreast of the line. with
everything quiet, when suddenly they
received a shower Of bullets from
sharpshooters in trees and housetops,
but these we're speedily dislodged.
The enemy's loss was apparently
small, the jungle affording them such
protection that the Americans were
unable to see them, and in firing were
guided only by the sound of the Fill
pino shots. The American artillery
was handicapped for the same reason.
