County Commissioners of the State
Will Meet in Pittsbunr.
THEY WILL PBEPARE A TAX BILL,

L'oad Legislation.
B. E. MERCER TALKS OF THEIR WORE
The sixth annual convention of the County
Commissioners' Association of Pennsylva
nia irill be held in the Court House Sep
tember 14 and IS. The object of the associa
tion it to promulgate some plan to equalize
taxation, and by open discussion of this
perplexing question adopt some methods
by which a bill may be presented and passed
by the State Legislature to remedy the
present Inequality. So far no definite re
sults have been realized from these deliber
ations. .
A bill in accordance with the recom
mendations of these Commissioners was
brought before the last Legislature. The
chances proposed were too sweeping and
the bill was rejected. Another will be laid
before the next Legislature, greatly modi
ed and in accordance with the changed
views, resulting from a free and open dis
cussion of the defects of the last
The chief power of the Association is
placed in an Executive Committee. This
committee submits a written report of its
deliberations, and embodies what may be
expeoted in any recommendations for a
change of legislation. This committee con
sists of K. E. Mercer, Allegheny
County, Chairman; & D. Ramsey,
Chester; W. "W. Griest, Lancaster;
D. A.- Sawdey, Erie; J. F. Brosius, Clin
ton; a W. Shaw, "Westmoreland; P. D.
Siraar, McKean; H. L. Halstead, Lacka

Schuylkill; T. H. Bailey, Tioga; S. K.
Anders, Montgomery; J. B. Cowan, Blair;
A. W. Mulholland, Jefferson, and Henry
Evans, Luzerne. 'Each member of the
committee submits a written recommenda
tion to the chairman. These recommenda
tions are embodied in a report and submit
ted to the convention.
arhDy Delegates Expected.
About 200 delegates are expected to be
present. Every county in the State will be
represented. Each county through its au
thorized commissioners will present a sep
arate recommendation, and what is con
sidered best for the interests of the respec
tive localities.
At the coming meeting great stress will
be laid upon the formation of a State Sta
tistical Bureau. This State is bebitfd many
other States in the way of having a proper
report made of the various interests and
the relative Importance of each. J. A.
'Price, gf Scran ton, of the State Tax Con
ference, had been engaged to speak on this
subject, but his place will likely be taken
by Joseph W. Weeks, a member of the
Same conference.
County Commissioner K. E Mercer in an
interview last evening said: "This associa
tion has been working for the past five
years to eet at some way to equalize taxa
tion. This subject has always been causing
a great deal of trouble and we find it erj-
' difficult to handle. Last year a bill was
presented partly in accordance with our
recommendations, but we soon saw onr mis
take and the matter had to be dropped at
i that time. I do not know yet what the
next bill will be like as the varions mem
bers of the Executive Committee have not
made their reports to me. I expect to re
ceive them within the next week. These
will be revised and changed before being
adopted as they mnst harmonize. In a
State like Pennsylvania, where so many in
terests are Concerned, this is hard to be
done. But I can tell you one thing, the re
sult will be more acceptable than our former
! work, as I have assurance of-this already.
Were Forced to Unite.
"Ever since the law was changed and the
office of County Engineer was created in
1873 it took all this work out of our hands
a d there has not been much for the Com
missioners to do but make the appropri
ations they recommend. The law was
again changed in 1879. These changes led
Irom bad to '.vorsj till we had to form this
association so that by united efforts w
could jet the proper legislation on this
subject
' One of the most troublesome questions
is ihe one that has been raised in this city
that ot the exemption of property in the
way of assessments. We will especially
direct our efforts to have this changed.
And this brings np another question the
duties ot assessors. This class of men has
always had much power in the way of
makins returns, and we are directing our
efforts to have the law changed regnlating
these so as to make the results more satis
factory. "The trend of the recommendations to be
made in the coming bill, will be breaking
up the line between the taxing of indivi
dual property holders and corporations.
This question must be fought on this line,
and will be our hardest task. The agricul
tural classes will make their power lelt in
the coming recommendations and we will
, give their demands proper consideration.
"Among the questions to be discussed at
the coming convention is the new registra
tion law. This question has been before
the former meetings of the commissioners.

Dinah Crewe sat at her sewing machine.
She worked at it quickly and vigorously
with her feet. She was employed by a
wholesale cheap tailor and was engaged in
making trousers.
She was a n egress, though she had been
born and bred in England. Her hair was
curly and she had the thick lips of her race.
Her face was a not nnpleasing one. It
showed, ordinarily, intelligene and warm
heartedness. At present it was marred by
anger called up by unpleasant thoughts.
Her lips were drawn back, and now and
thpn the white teeth gleamed. Presently
she observed that her seam was growing
crooked. Almost involuntarily she
stopped. Badly done work would be badly
paid for and she could not afford to lose any
of her hard earned money.
The room in which she worked and which
also served as a bedroom, was small and
dark and close. As in the case with many
v retched dwellings in the east end of Lon
don the occupier had to par a high rent lor
it.
The sound made by the opening of the
door made her look up. A man stood there,
somewhat shamefacedly regarding her. She
gave a start and a little cry, which she sup
pressed. Then she sat rigid in her chair.
ut her hands were trembling. She ceased
to work, but she did not address her visitor.
She waited for him to speak. She had been
looking forward'to this day, even dreaming
of it a moment since, and it had come unex
pectedly. The man removed his eves from her face
and glanced uneasily about the room. There
was no traoe of the presence ot another per
son. "Who is she?" he asked.
He was a very fair man and talL He had
Recommendations have been made. I can
not say whether anything will be done at
this time, but the question will be discus
sed and something will likely be done as
there is need for a. change.
The Daly of Constables.
'The duties of constables will also be dis
cussed as will subject of inquests and post
mortems. All these dnties are included in
our preamble and receive the attention
their importance demands."
The present convention will be called to
order in the Orphans' Court room No. 2, on
Wednesday, September 14, at 10 o'clock by
Commissioner K. E. Mercer. Correspon
dence is now going on with speakers to ad
dress the convention on live 'topics but no
definite arrangements have yet been made.
The officers ot the association for the past
year were: President, A. B. Worth; Vice
Presidents, Horace L. Halstead and Geortre
a Mills; Secretaries, P. W. Slebert, M.
B. Oeer, J. B. Crawford and J. M. Bodgers.
PITTSBURG IS GROWING.
All Records Broken la the Building In
Inspectors' Office Many New and Hand
some Houses Golns; Dp The Bast End
the Favorite Home District.
The record of building permits issued
during the month of August breaks all re
cords. There were 304 permits issued for
the erection of 421 buildings, some permits
calling for as high as 14 houses. The total
valne. estimated, of them all was f 1,390,488,
and the receipts to the city amounted to
52,019 50.
August of last year was a very large
month, when 399 buildings, valued at $1,
037,982, were ereoted, and the office receipts
amounted to 1,736 50.
The character of the buildings have been
of a very good quality, better than the
general run, and the building inspectors,
Honman ana .Brown, nave oeen eniorcing
the city regulations as to their construc
tion. The ordinance requiring 9-inch back
walls to be carried through the roof of
dwellings to prevent the possibility of fire
has been strictly enforced, and the contrac
toas now are generally observing the rule.
Many regulations for the betterment of the
work have been inaugurated by the inspec
tors, and the houses being built and to be
built hereafter will be of a substantial and
lasting character.
The East End still continues to be the
chosen spot for improvement, as the wards
in that end of the city show the greatest
nnmber of new houses. In what is called
the Second district, comprising all the
wards from the Sixth to the Twenty-third,
there were 328 buildings put up. The
Twentieth ward heads the list with 56, the
Nineteenth next with 47, the Twenty-first
following with 45. The Thirteenth ward
got 42. the Thirty-Becond, Thirty-fifth and
the others follow with less numbers, but no
ward is without at least one new house. The
Fourth ward only secured six new build
ings, but their value is 5431,000. The
buildings in the Twentieth ward are valued
at 5280,000, and many other wards show a
total of nearly f 100,000 worth of new dwell
ings. Of the 421 new buildings 171 are
brick, 244 frame, 5 ironclad and 1 stone,

Thomas E. Berge, alias E. B. Thompson,

Mississippi Valley route, and several banks.
Some weeks ago while Mr. O'Connell was at
the Monongahela House, Pittsburg, bis va--lise

passes extracted therefrom. Suspicion fell
upon Berge, and some days later he left the
hotel after cashing a forged check In O'Con

about the country on stolen passes and

wanting in character; his expression was
like that of a child who expects a scolding.
But he was undeniably handsome.
The pupils of the negress dilated as she
looked at him, but she controlled an in
stinct which prompted her to rush at him
and take him by his throat and shake him.
Civilization, of a sort, had tamed the tigress
in her.
"Who is it yon are wanting?" she in
quired. "You know what I want well enough,"
he answered, impatient at her attempt at
sarcasm. "Where is Sal?"
"Oh, it is your wife you are inquiring
after. She has moved." Her eflort to make
her tone a light one was not very successful.
"Where is she?" he advanced farther Into
the room, as If the knowledge that Sal was
not near had given him a little assurance,
and as the woman did not answer, he re
peated in a louder voice: "Tell me where
she is, I wish to see her."
Dinah folded herjiarm across her breast.
"You can't," she said in a suppressed tone.
Then she suddenly rose and stood facing
him, and her pent up passion burst forth as
iter eyes met his.
"You can't see her," she repeated, "if
you'd ha' wanted to, you ought to ha

catching her breath, and her whole figure
seemed to gain a strange savage beanty,
her face glowing and her eyes afire with
mingled love and hate. She raised her half
bare sinewy arms and pointed to the door

She was so desperately In earnest, and in
her way so dignified that the man oould do
nothing but obey her. He slunk backward.
But he put his question again, a dull red
burning in his cheeks. "I'll go when you've
told me where Sal is."
Dinah burst Into a harsh laugh. "So
you want her, do you? You're going to
explain perhaps why you went away and
lelt her just when she needed you most.
You ought to ha' come earlier if you was so
desperately anxious. Maybe you'r agoin' to
make love to her. Oh,' Sal, Sal ," she
broke off with a groan. "I'll tell jou
where she is, and you may gq and look for
her. She's been waiting lor you, and
maybe she'll be glad to see you. Shall I
give yon her new address?"
She went quite close np to him. So close
that he felt her hot breath on his cheek;
and she spoke in the low voice which was
not without beauty or music, though the
mnsio wax weird enough. t
"Sal is in the churchyard. You will find
her beneath the ground. The grass hasn't

"Sal is, dead?"

The man staggered baok against the wall
and his face was blanched, while great
tears stood in his wide ohildish eyes.
"Perhaps a "black wife's worth grievin'

The man slunk away into the street.
Dinah went back to her work. For a few
minutes the whirr of her machine was the
only sound that broke the silence; then that
stopped and its place was taken by the
sound of sobs, hard, tearless sobs, and'
Dinah's wooly head had gone down upon
her arms. "Maybe 'twas hard upon him,"

But the poor cannot indulge their grief;
for the needs of the body are paramount,
and habit becomes nature in the matter of
suppressing emotion. Dinah had to work
14 hours a day. The rent had to be paid,
the collector "called every week for what
was owing on the machine itself, and her
food had to be bought.
Formerly she had not been the sole occu
pant of the room. She Jiad shared it with
a younger sister who like her did tailoring
work, and the machine had been a joint
speculation before Sal had entertained the
thought of marriage. But two years ago
Tom Boncey had fallen in love with, or had
been infatuated by ber; the negress was
pretty, far better looking than her sister,
and with a peculiarsaa:e-like fascination
which black women frequently possess.
After a very short courtship they were
married.
But the man had no' sooner committed
this act than he regretted it. He was not
bad, but he was weak and incapable of such
intense leeling as should make him inde
pendent of the sentiments of others. He
could not stand the chaff and laughter of
his companions about his black wife; it
seemed to turn him against' her. Perhaps
even in himself, though he had never recog
nized it hitherto, there was some antipathy.
At any rate, the sndden attraction be
came as sudden a repulsion. Before the
birth of his child be deserted .her on
the pretext of going to seek work else

went back of course to her sister. Like
Dinah, she was a being with absorbing pas
sions. To her the commonplace -man she
had married was ber life; she conld not lire
without him. .Not even her child could
save her. She died of grief; the chance
word of a neighbor had revealed to her the
cause of his desertion which his growing
coldness confirmed. She could not Ee other
than she was even to please Mm. But she
never reproached him. It was Dinah who
did that She had not loved him when he
took her titter from her; now she hated
.him.
But the hatred did not extend to his
child. The little creature oonld not com
pensate the mother for the loss of her husr
band, "but it seemed, temporarily at any
rate, tocomfbrt'the sister In her bereave

souls in whom more than in gentler na
tures, the craving for little children is a
passion; perhaps because it was a necessity
tor her to spend herself for others, and in
motherhood only can a woman do so com
pletely. This baby was utterly dependent
on her, it occupied her time and her
thouehtj; it filled her empty life, and satis
fied her hungering heart The whirr of the
machine went on as usual for she had
need to labor, but yet she found oppor
tunity to attend to the young child
in the cradle, sometimes even it lay across
her lap while she worked. And her great
est happiness was when in an idle minute
she played with it and saw the smile come
slowly into the little face, or when its tiny
hand closed firmly over her finger. This
contact thrilled her, and she never had the
courage ot her own accord to free the toil
hardened unbeautitul forefinger from its
prison. The child resembled its father; it
was fair now whatever it might become in
the future, and its presence even sufficed to
soften Dinah's heart toward that father, ex
cept when the possibility occurred to her
that be would come some day and claim it
She felt convinced that he would be drawn
back soouer or later, and in this she was
right
But: before he came, in the season of east
winds, the baby died, and with it all
humanising influences seemed to go from
Dinah. She -grew hard, bitter, almost
crueL She shut herself away from sympathy,-
Even the little' children she had been
so fond of, and at whom she had shown her
white teeth when she met them in the street
on her way to and from the1 workshop, she
greeted no longer; it seemed to her when
Sal's little boy was buried all ber love for
her kind for her kindvras buried with it
And now Boncey had come back. - It was
the spring, almost the summer. A feeling,
born of absence perhaps, had come to him
that he would like to see bis wife again.
Even a sort of remorse had seized him. Yet
he was half afraid to return, uot knowing
in what way he would be received. He had
gone to Dinah's knowing that it was most
likely that he would find Sal there. And
he had learnt he was a ridowen.
He did not ask where Sal was buried, and
he did not visit her grave. He met a former
mate and went to lodge with htm. It was
in the same street where he had lived be

latter dwelt, but he never again climbed
the rickety stairs. He was net particularly
anxious to'renew his Intimacy with his un
compromising sister-in-law. But he was
a man who oonld not live without affection.
In -his class ot life sentiment for the dead
seldom is of long duration, and he had prac
tically been a widower ever since he left
the neighborhood.
Before he lad been back many months,' he
married the sister of his friend, a yonujrr
pretty clinging thlng,adifferent from Sal in
disposition as she was in appearance. And
as his mate emigrated to America, he con
tinued to live where he was; the place was
conveniently near work, and their few
sticks of furniture were there. Dinah had
so dropped out of his thouzhts that she
did not now enter into his calculations; if
he exhibited a want of delicacy in remain
ing so near her, it was not because he volun
tarily would have hurt her by the knowl
edge of the sight of his newly-fonnd hap
piness. Perhaps he could not make con
cessions to a nature which he was incapable
of understanding.
On him nothing was able to make a last
ing impression. He was easy going, sociable,
selfish. Dinah was of those who are mastered
by an idea.
All day long the negress worked. She
never rested, although she bad only herself
to provide for, and her life was of little
value to her. She seemed to cling to labor
as if in it lay her salvation. And. ever as
she worked she brooded; and her thoughts
ran always in one direction. The whirring
of her machine seemed to be the accompani
ment to this monotonous brooding. The
machine itself, the lifeless thtng, was yet
as a companion, the only one which shared
her solitude; its voice was the only voice
which did not jar upon her; its serrices
were the only favors she accepted. She
spoke to no one except her employers
and those to whom it was necessary to do
so, and then only of the subjects which
concerned them. And she grew morbidly
apart from ber kind. All the brightness
and goodness which had distinguished her
seemed perverted, if not gone. Her con
sciousness was not very highly developed,
and she was not naturally introsptctive, but
eveu those whose feelings are little more
than Instinct, are ready to resent oppression
and injustice; it seemed to Dinah that she
had not been fairly dealt wlth.-ihe thought
