THE ESTIMATED INCREASE RATE Harmonious Fooling Existing Botweon tho Committees and the County Commissioners. Moot Again To-day OR hours yesterday tho committeos ap pointed bythecitiz ns of town at thnir meet on Thursday night figured and fished for what they might give to the County Com ml tioners and people as a fair and equitable basis upon tho assessments of properties and coal lands within the borough' should be based. Each committee worked in a separato room over the figures of tho five wards and tho Co mm is timers office was represented by Edward E. Hoed, eon of tho County Commissioner, William Barry, Prank Ward and Joseph rattoison, tho court stenographer. William Wilhelm, Esq., the special counsel to the County Commissioners, was one of tbo most active men of the day and kept coIiir from one committee to another to ascertain thoir progress when not on giged in bearing the complaints of the West Mahanoy township appellants. There was some lively scones In some ot the committee rooms, but the outside public were deprived .an opportunity to witnesB tbem, as the committees positively refuted to allow admittance to any one outside the committee and the Commissioners' otUcer, The First ward committee, comprising Messrs. ). J. Monaghan, .Michael Urnham andT. O. Waters were the first to complolo their Work and were ready to meet the Commissioners at about 5 o'clock, but as the other four wards wore far from the finishing pos,t Mr. Wilhelm fixed 8 o'clock for a meeting of all tno committees. Ono of the features of tho, First ward re' vision was tho attachment to tbo aeso.-sment list of several lots owned by tho Philadel phia and Heading Coal and Iron Company The total increased valuation in that ward by reason of the additions is f 22.600, Oi vided as follows: 45 lots on East Lloyd street at $150 per lot, (0,750; 33 lots on East Coal street at ?100, $3,300; 32 lots on East Lino street, at Jl00,?3,200. and 40 lots on East Centre street at $200, $9 200. At 8 o'clock in the evening the com mittees again met in BeddaM's building, but tho Second, Third, Fourth and Filth wards had not finished their work and additional timo wa? given them to do so. Mr. Wilhelm remained in town, but the County Commissioners loft for their homes on tho 8.03 train, promising to come to town to-day and moet tit the committees at 2 p. m, At 9:80 o'clock all tho committees were ready to report and they mot Mr, Wilhelm in the Columbus Club room in Beddall's building. Each presented their lists of revisions. . Mr. Wilhelm caused cash committee man tq be affirmed and court stenographer Pat terson was instructed to take down tho questions and answers of the Attornoy and committee men that followed. They were substantially as follows: flow long have you lived in Shenandoah? What is your business 7 What part of the town do you Hv'o ip 7 Have you evor held any public position in tho borough 7 Have you worked about tbo buildings of town? Have you evor boon connected with any savings fund of town V Ilave you ever been on any committees to value property ? Havo you ever been a party to the tramfer rf real estate ? And, lastly, from what you know of the town do you believe the committees' suggestions as to value aro such as will make tho values fair and equitable? Tho answers to these questiors by the committeemen woro such that Mr, Wil helm said that the people had boor, fortun ate in picking committees from the repre sentative and woll Informed psoplo of the town. Mr, Wilhelm also took occasion to thank tho committees tor the excellent as sistance they had given tho Commissioners in straightening out the assessments. Mr. Hess asked It the figures agreed upon by tho committees would be sustained by tho Commissioners. Mr. Wilbolm answered that the object In swearing in and examining tho committee men was to ascertain the correctness of tho revisions made and that no changes would be made on appeal except in such cases where it may be found that the committees over looked something, whero there was an unintentional mistake, or whore new light would bo thrown upon cases. It was then agreed to adjourn until 2 p. m. this afternoon, when tho County Com missioners would meet the committees in tho Council Ohambor to boar appoals. In conversation with a IIkrald reporter later in tbo evening Mr. Wilhelm said that after the revisions of all borough properties and coal land would be finally settled bo believed that the assessments would show a decrease of about 18 per cent, on the figures fixed by tho County Commissioners. "The old assessment of tho borough,'' said he, was ? 1,8(12 020. The assessment fixed by tho Commissioners was t.s,021 105 From the figures now In hand It looks as it tbo borough assessments havo been inrroasod J a-iout 5650.000. or to ?2,512,G20, b decrease of Hb ui $511,185 on the ComraUsioners' vspewmprit. Still these figuros aro not final. Tboy ate subjoct to the appeal", as I statod In the committees, and there ia a mnvetnont on foot to have all the coal land .wners form a board of revision and do as tho committees appointed by the citizens of hhonandoah have done."

What People Are Talking About These Times, LADY friend who is a constant reader of the Herald, informs us that it is hardly cafe to oat any kind of fruit that has been pre' served in tin cans, because oi tbo danger from lead poisoning The tin with which these cans wore for merly mado (consisting of a sheet of iron eovercd thinly and lunilormly with a coating of tin) has given place to a SO' called tin, in which tho tin covering is ro placed by a compound of tin and lead, t most dangerous substance, which forms with the fruit a poison that no discreot porson will willingly havo to go into sound stomach. By all mean! use glass jars. Wo have heard ot a country grocer who soils coffee, ready ground, in air-tight fruit jars. If all grocers would do this it would bo woll, and if rural housekeepers would buy cotToo in that way thoy would, in the coursu of tho year, accumulate enough jars for overy purpose, and savo enough in coffee aroma to pay for them. This is getting tho jars for nothing. Peaches, pears, apples, etc., will retain a bright color if dropped into cold wator on being cut. Cook all fruit slowly; this pro serves Its lorni, Uranuialed sugar is as cheap as any kind. A funnel with a large mouth may bo used in getting tno j irs filled. It is not necessary to seal up the fruits in a hurry, whilo tho jars are ex tremely hot. Fill tho jars and lot them stand long enough to cool off a little; this for convenience of handling. Hucksters from tho Catawissa and Alahantongo valleys, who bring their produce bore, find ready sale. They, as a rule, do not go to the trouble of assorting the best from the poorest, and thus get a bettor price for the ono and a littlo less for tho other. "Every thing goes," no matter bow prepared. Wo doubt if there is an other or hotter market in tbo legion. Be sides, people seem inditlorent as to what tbey buy. To fomo an apple is an apple, pumpkins a pumpkin, &c.

ILTH USED FOR STREET WORK Dirt That Had Been Saturated for Years With Decayed Mat ter Spread Over Stono From tho Crusher. ESTERDAY ono of the grossest violations of sanitary regulations was committed by some of tho borough authorities. Tho per mission under which tho act was committed is said to havo been granted by ' the Streol Committee Tho Sanitary Committee should take hold of tbo case at onco and see that the responsible parties are sovoroly rebuked. When public bfUcials deliberately vialate sanitary rules'we can hardly expect indi viduals to koep within bounds. The facts of the caso are that ono of tho cellars in the Harington building on East Centro streot was cleaned out yestorday, The dirt taken out had been previously saturated with coal oil, vinegir, inolassos, and other liquid .supplios usually handled by grocers and when thrown upon tho streot in front of the place from which it was taken a tnrrible stench arose from the heap, I'eopio who passed the placo while the work was going on said tho smell was such as arises whon cess poolc are being cleaned. Men who stood at tho corner of Main and Centre streets to await develop ments of tbo assessment appeals were obliged lo move away. Shortly after this vile stuff was takon from the cellar it was carted down Centro street and dumped upon the crushed stone recently put on that streut Just west of tho Lshigh railroad. The dumping and shoveling gave tho stench renewed strength and people who bad occasion to pass to and from the depot were disgusted with the smells. The parlies who dumped tho stuff upon tho street say that the Street Committee gavo them authority to do so. Whoever authorized it should be dealt with as individuals who dump filth upon the streets should. Let tho Sanitary Committee act in this caso. The Shenandoah Business opens Monday, Sept. 12.
