The Berwind-White Coal Company will hoon have the most complete sJt coal mining plant in the world at Windber.

At present all the company s mines are equipped with compressed air machines jr digging, but recently it lias teu ex perimenting with an electric digging ma chine, which will be adopted if success ful. The company empioys b. men at present and ships an average of M cars a As we predicted would be the case w hen the Commissioners instructed the variom assessors throughout the county to increa-ie the valuation of all real estate su'ijett to local taxation, the appeals so far he.d have been more numerously at tended than ever before.

KiuoBi Aiiigaed Far Ia3itine Valuation of Eeal auu. tit WILL P20FLIGACT BE CDSriSJES! That the taxpayers of the c aunty are thoroughly aroused to their Interest has been demonstrated duricg the past few week whsrever twoor mare farmers or business men have gathered together, 1 he tax question has been the sole ropie or conversation in the store, shop, atthecrvxs roads, and w herever it has been discussed sentiment has been unan imous that steps must be taken to reduce county expenditures and inaugurate a more economic system of conducting public business if farmers and business men are to continue to own unincumber ed the lands they have secure d after long years of straggle and toil. ine increased valuation placed upon all taxable property by the recent trien mal assessment, rangiug from 10 to 40 per cent, it appears has not met with the ap proval of the County Commissioners, who have placed an additional 10or2J per cent, upon the valuations returned by the assessors. The assessors of the various districts are sworn oluoers, and unuer their sev eral oath they are requited io place a just and fair valuation upou all taxable property without fear or tavor, hatred or malii-e. It is believed that "die assessors without exception have complied with the law- to the best of their ability. It is apparent, however, that the Commission ers have not taken this view or the mat ter as they have iu nearly every district added a literal percentage to the valua tions returned under oath by the asses sors. There is a w idespread desire to know what excuse the Commissioners bave to otter for swelling valuations at this time. Whit public improvements do they con template that will require such tremend ous increase in the county revenues T Do they propose to erect an annex to the Court House, plans, for which were pre pared and submitted to the. commission ers more than a year ago, and which it is understood met with the hearty approval of at least one memlwr of that bodyT Is it proposed to refurnish the large vault n the olTiee of the Register and Recorder with expensive and useless metallic fur niture? Is it proposed to erect expensive ron bridges at points where there is no public necessity for the same? Is it pro posed to return a portion -f the taxes as sessed to favorites as it is alleged has been done in former years T There obviously must bave been some reason prompting the Commissioner to ncrease tne valuation, lor it appears from their own published report of tho receipts and expenditures for the year ISI'7 that the former was more than ample to meet the latter. It will be remembered in this connec tion that when thepre-seut board of Com missioners assumed the duties of that office they were confronted with an empty trensury and an indebtedness, the exact amount of which they were unable to determine, owiug to the number of out standing orders and the confused condi tion of the books of that ofli . Is it for the purpose of paying debts contracted by their immediate predeces sors in office that the Commissioners have found it n cessary to raise the val uation until in hundreds of instances the valuation place! upon a piece of property is far in excess of the cash value of the same? Property owners who have attended the appeals already held have declared n a large num ber or cases their willing ness to lake a less price for their lands than the Commissioners have seen fit to value them. The argument will hardly be advanced that valuations bave been increased by w holesale for the purpose of equalizing taxation, since this method atfecis all taxables in the same proportion ; and it will not be argued that an additional 20 per cent, was placed npon the assessed valuation of Brothersvalley township for the purpose of compelling the poor fann er to pay more than tho assessor, under oath, believed he should be compelled to pay- But the question uppermost in the minds of the thoughtful taxpayer is, whfct has become of the money annually col lected for the use of thecouniy and where oes the reason appear for increasing the Glume of revenue at this ti.ne? The taxpayer looks iu vain to the pub- ished report of the Commissioners, where a p :r!y disguised enTort is mala to juggie the items so that they are unin teresting and unintelligible, ia order to blind the eyes of the taxpayers. In a majority of the counties in Penn sylvania the receipts and expenditures of the county are set forth item for item in orde-r that every taxpayer can see for himself w here every penny wn expend ed during the preceding year and who received it. Why has there been so much mystery about the expeudituresof Somerset coun ty during the past fev yeirs? It there a mare's nest in that important publicolfi?e that must be kept hidden and guarded? Why was n.4 the law directing the Commissioners to publish their report Tour times duriug the month of February complied with? Was the eflicieut clerk to the board unable to prepare his report until after the auditors bad adjourned, and danger was temporarily past ? Taxpayers from all parts of tho county want to know all about the matter briefly outlined above, as well as other matters of crave public importance, referred to in recent issues of this paper, aud the num ber who have volunteered to contribute from their private means for the purpose of having the alrairs of the Commissioner' office thoroughly investigated and venti- j late 1 is being augmented each day. The objections and interpositions filed by the board of Auditors have been treat ed with iiidirTerence and contempt by the Commissioners. It is tima for tha taxpayer to strike. Bad a Premoaitioa. Constable Frdemaa Younkin, notice of whose violent death was made last week, it appears had a premonition before leav ing home for Somerset that he would meet w ith an accident. On Snnday he spoke to bis w ire and children of hi re luctance at making the journey, a most unusual thing for him to do as it was well kuown that be always looked forward with pleasure to bis quarterly visits to the county seat. The same day be visit ed the home of hi broth jr. where hs al so expressed his unwillingness to come to Somerset tha next day. Monday morn ing ai'wr saying good bye b bis family be proceeded to the gate in frontof bis home, where he paused for full ten minutes, ev idently struggling with the fueling then workiug within him, before he proceed ed on hi way.

The court disposed of a criminal cal endar of forty-four cses In short order last w k. A majority of the cases set for trial were of a trivial character and most of them were si-Uhtd befoie leiug called. Ouly two cases were tried before jury, the first being the Commonwealth vs. Straub, and the second Common wealth vs. the Supervisors of Addison township. The latter trial attracted more or less interest and was hotly contested by the parties concerned. The prosecu tion was brought by J. C Lowry, Esq., who a year or more ago succeeded in Lav ing an order made for the construction of a new road in the neighborhood of Con fiuence. Lnwry alleged that the Super visors had taken the road off the hands of the contractor, when the latter bad not complied with the specifications, and that when the road became blockaded the defendants neglected to open it speedily as he believed they should. On the other side it was alleged that the road was as well constructed as the materials at hand and the surroundings would per mit and that the prosecutor bad acted with undue haste in bringing a criminal prosecution against the supervisors. The trial occupied portions of two days. The jury retired at 10 o'clock Thursday morn ing and at 3 p. m. returned a verdict find ing the defendants not guilty, but to pay five-sixths and the prosecutor to pay one- sixth of the ousts. Samuel Pletcher entered a plea of guil ty to selling liquor without license; sen tence suspended until argument court. in toe case oi tne Commonwealth vs. Jacob Nicklow aud Walter Lytle, the costs were divided between the two de fendants aud the prosecutor, Michael Smith. S. Wilson Brant and Jacob Miller en- tered a plea of guilty to a charge of lar ceny, they having stolen a lot of maple sugar from Joseph Croner, of Allegheny township. The defendants were sentenc ed to pay the costs of prosecution, a fiue of $1 each aud to undergo i mouths' iin prison tnent iu the county jail. J. L. Carr.Ja love-sick swain from Scalp Level, was called opon to answer a charge or surety preferred by John Orris of that place. The testimony developed that the defendant bad annoyed the prosecutor and bis family by thrusting his atten tions upon young Miss Orris, he insist ing that be could not live without her. The court thought differently, however, and warned Carr to leave the county and not to annoy the prosecutor and bis fain ily. casks coN-risrEn.

An unusual amount of interest was dis played last week by landlords from va rious parts of the county to learn what disposition the Court would make of the applications for retail liquor dealers' li censes. There were no remonstrances filed, but the number of applicants was considerably larger than in former years, and it was well known that the Court was averse to granting licenses to new bouses. Thern-ere two applicants from the town of Windber, and one from Scalp Level, where it is said "speakeasies" have flour ished openly in both places for the past six months. All of them were granted, and ir liquor must be re!ailed in that sec tion of the county it will hereafter be done under the protection of law, and an eTort will doubtless be made to check the ill'gal sale. The applications of Nathaniel Slicer, J. C. Roed and John H. Slicer, of Meyers dale, were held over to give the appli cants an opportunity to explain whether they are conducting hotels for the enter tainment of the traveling public, or merely saloons, the attention of the Court having been called to tho fact that these landlords had refused to entertain guests at various times during the year. The applications of William II. Fra zier, of Lirimer township, and George L. Herringtoi, of Confluence, were also held over, owing to their bonds being def active. The application for a wholesale license at Windtter was also held over for future consideration. The following applications for retail li cense were granted : John Kurtz, Coneuiaugh township ; Ed ward Nicklow, Addison township; W. A. Scott, Jr., Somerset township; John W. Guthrie, Meyersdale borough; Samuel Buckman, Rockwood borough; John H. Hite. Stoyestown borough ; Andrew Mc Q iade, Berlin Borough; George H. Tay man, Somerset Borough; Joseph Patton.

Hew Conaty Sohem;. The Philadelphia Press reviews the number of new county schemes to be dragged before the next Legislature and goes on record as being opposed to all of them. This comment is made: "The multiplicity of these schemes will not unlikely have the good effect or killing all of them. People w ill natur ally become alarmed with such whole sale movements, and once the pa.-e is set no one can tell where the work of divid ing existing counties may be stopped. It is not a matter of public benefit or necessity; it is becoming a disease. While it is in all cases pretended that the organization of new counties is for public convenience the real fact is that nearly every movement is prompted by a desire to profit by laud speculations. There is no such public reason for creat ing new counties now as could be ad vanced in former years, when the fa cilities Tor travel were poor and it was both difficult and expensive to get to the county seat from some sections. The multiplication of railroads and trolley lines has overcome the difficulties in a rarg9 measure, and every year there is an increase in such facilities. "The creation of a new county is some thing that should be undertaken as a matter of public oecHsity, made obvious and nnmistakable. New counties very generally mean addition U burdens for the people, and those ara good to avoid." LV HIS OH INTEREST. ImmeaM Amjunt of Work Perfumed by Commiaaioner Einamell in 273 Day. APPE3VIH0 BILLS-ISSUI5G 0EDEE9 Ever since the Count v Commissioners published their annual report of the re ceipts and expenditures of the county for the year 1ST a large number of taxpayers have been speculating as to how Com miss Loner Geo. F. Kiuuneil managed to put in 273 days of bis lime attending to the duties of that office. Speculation in many instances has given place to a de mand that the itemised bill presented by Commissioner Kimmell for service ren.. dered curing the year be laid before the taxpayers for tbeir inspection. The de mand has not been coufined to verbal ex pressions from thousands of taxpayers. but a number of them have printed their demand in the press of the couuty that this interesting public document be print ed. Mr. Kimmell baa remained deaf to all appeals, and has so far declined to avail himself of the use of the columns of the II erald for the purpose indicated. but in order to gratify the demand of the public we have gone to the pains of se curing a copy, which we herewith pre sent: Itemized Account of Gem.

The prudent business man and farmer will be amazed when be adds up the number or days Commissioner Kitumell devoted to approving bills and issuing orders at 1 50 per diem. It must require vast amount of physical and mental energy to stamp 5UU bills ''approve.! by the Couuty Commissioners," and streams of perspiration doubtless trickled down the brow or the bard-worked ollicial when he was called upon to write his name to the 500 or more orders issued from the Commissioners' oiBce during the year. The sums called for by a majority of the bills presented were fixed by law, aud in most other cases the sums called for were or should have been known before the debt was contracted. A former experience of three years' service In the Commissioners' ollice, it appears did not lighten the labor of Mr. Kimmell, but oa the other hand, when only one bridge contract was let during the year, he seems to bave labored harder than ever before, and the wonder is how be managed to get through with the work of that ollice in 273 days without working late into the nights. The taxpayers will be glad to learn that he has birne up bravely like Atlas with the globe on his shoulders and that his tireless energy and constant anxiety to protect the county treasury from de signing spoilsmen will doubtless enable bitn tocoutinue his labor at f !50 per day during very many of the days remain ing iu tho present and coining year.
