They have iad the energy and sa- gacity to fairly, hmestly and intelligent- ly manage the filmancial matters of the county. When thi present board of Com- missioners came tito power the financial condition of the jounty was in a very unhealthy condiion. The statement published in the eginning of 1882 show- ing the receipts md expenditures of the county for the yar 1881, shows that the county debt on tle first Monday of Jan. nary, 1882, to hae been $83,167.00. The same statement siows that at the same date, there were axes out standing from 1872 to 1881, botl inclusive, amount ing to $60,235.67. “Now take thestatement of 1883, It sliows that on Janary 1, 1884, the coun- ty debt was $4242.28 and that, with one or two exceplons all the taxes that were then ountstarling were the taxes as- sessed for 1883 md they only in part. The old accountswere closed, and the people enjoyed th benefit of having one- half of the debt f the county paid in two years. Besides all this, here wore many oth- er irregularities, tht had long been car- ried on that were nore or less a drain upon the people stpped. The Commis- sioners adhered agidly to the law in everything.

Now Logan need fight no more against doing justice to Gen. Porter, TWO COMPANIES IN THE SNOW SHOE REGION BOUGHT OUT FOR $1,000,000, Says the Philadelphia Inquirer: The Lehigh Valley railroad company made an important step in its history of the purchase of nearly fifty thousand acres of bituminous coal land in Clearfield coun- ty, which it will hereafter mine. The purchase is one that has been spoken of several times, but the transaction was not consummated until the other day, when the title deeds and purchase mon- ey, $1,000,000 in cash, paid by the Lehigh Valley. The land is located near the terminus of the Bellefonte and Snow Shoe branch of the Bald Eagle Valley railroad, a line operated by the Pennsylvania, and was the largest unsecured tract of land, as well as the nearest to the market that re- mained in that section of the state. It was purchased from two companies: The Snow Shoe Land and Improvement com- pany, of which B. K. Jamison, of Phila- delphia, wall president, and the Snow Shoe Coal company, of which the leading spirit was Edward Blanchard, of Belle- fonte. The formerjcompany had a capi. tal stock of $1,000,000 and owned about 40,000 acres of valuable land partially de- veloped in the neighborhood of Snow Shoe City. The Snow Shoe Coal com- pany’s capital was $400,000, and it owned 7,500 acres of land, including a part of the ground now in the town limits of Snow Shoe city, besides a considerable number of coke ovens, coal openings, houses and other property. It is on this property that many of the mines of Ber win, White & Co,, of Philadelphia, are located. For some time the Lehigh Vale ley railroad company, through its afili- ‘ ated corporation, the Lehigh Valley coal company, has been negotiating for this property. The parties interested are so numerous that a great amount of labor and correspondence was necessary to get them all to agree to the sale, and even pected wsband’s partiality for » “with and there cowhided him soundly, when their consent was obtained the Lis high Valley hesitated before concludirg the bargain. It desired first to be as sured of some means of getting the coal to market, territory, one by the new Beech Creek, Clearfleld and Southwestern, which is a branch of the Jersey Shore road, con- necting with the Vanderbilt and Read- ing systems, and the other over the Pennsylvania, This latter route is the older, and has connections with the Lo high Valley system, and to it the officers of the road turned. The Pennsylvan a people were found to be not unwilling to undertake the transportation of the coal, and a contract was signed between the Pennsylvania and Lehigh Valley regu- lating the manner and rate of transport- tion. The terms of the contract could not be obtained. Formerly the tonnage from these mines was sent to market over the Tyrone di- vision of the Pennsylvania, and then over the main line of that company. In futare, however, it will be hauled to Tomhicken or Mount Carmel, on the Le- high Valley, and there delivered to that company, who will complete the trans. portation Shoe The route will be from Snow intersection Bald Eagle Valley road to Lock Haven, thence over the Philadelphia and Erie to and from aver the Sunbury, wint to Tomhicken or Mount Carmel over the Sunbury, Hazle- ton and Wilkesbarre. The Lehigh Val- ley has branches extending to Mount Carmel and 5 Tomhicken., The Penn- sylvania will thus haul the coal miles, and it that was to regulate the on this disjance that the cox tween the two companies was Plaineas t the shrewd move he transaction appears to be knowing ones say that it was a Penne Wore Snow She on the part of the syivania., That company has heret had exclusive control i product, and hauled it from the mines to © tidewater over its own lines. The Beech Creek, Clearfield and Southwester:, system, runs directly throug! gh the tra in question. out sylvania, might not object to sell bilt-Reading combination, which has als not haul a pound of the coal, and their twenty-two mile spur from Bald Eagle Valley road would loose much of its value. The Pennsylvania people were not the land, since their own company does not buy coal land for the purpose of op- erating it, and were rather inclined aid a movement which assured [to them io traffic diverted to another company. It is said that the Lehigh Valley will proceed to develop the new territory at once. Partol itis leased and operated by other parties and by these royally will be paid. The Lehigh Valley, with its extensive shipping facilities at Buffs. lo, will endeavor to build up a bitamin- ous trade at that point, as well as send to other markets, There will be no undue competition with the soft coal prodact hanled by ithe Pennsylvania, and the transaction is regarded as forming anoth. er band of union between the two corpo- rations. ———————— Two hundred Republicans of New Ha- ven have announced that they will not vote for Blaine—they do not like the tattooed man, miami sit mls ‘ A dispatch from Sonora, Cal, gives particulars of a complicated tragedy.

This, coupled with general debility, caused him to gradoally sink, his life haviog been dispaired of for more than a week. Gen, McCandless in 1874 was elected by the Democrats to the position of sec retary of internal affairs.
