Miss Annie O'Donnell, of Drifton.who was the successful competitor in the con test for the gold watch at the late fair of St. Ann's Church, was on Monday last presented with it by Rev. M. J. Falli hee. The watch is one of the handsom est of its kind to he procured, being of nickel movements, full jewulled and gold case.

It is com posed of sixteen pages, three columns to each page. The first number is well filled with brief selections from various sources, editorial comments and local matter, and should the succeeding is sues be as sprightly as the first—which, no doubt, thev will—it will prove a suc cess. Rev. Bedforil is a firm believer in Prohibition and will advocate that cause through his new medium together with the advancement of the Methodist faith. "A Hoiden Heireftfl, Or a Double Ven geance." The above is the title of an original four-act drama by W. C. Miller, the scenic artist, of town.

The anthracite coal trade is awaiting with anxiety the outcome of the Inter state Commerce Commission decision in the Coxe Bros. & Co. vs. Lehigh Valley Railroad case. The uncertainty as to what action the Lehigh Valley Railroad managers will take has paralyzed the coal shipping business. Excepting for immediate requirements buyers are not placing many orders or contracts for eoal, nor are they likely to do so until after the 20th instant, when, it is expected, something definite regaiding the reduc tion in tolls ordered by the Interstate Commission will be known. There are many individual operators and coal ship pers who are of the opinion that if the question of tolls were definitely settled the anthracite business would improve, and it is believed that the movement of coal would become more active, as many dealers are anxious to take advantage of the present low prices for coal. The re striction of production continues, and an earnest effort is being made to keep the weekly output of coal down to about last year's tonnage. Last week the Cen tral Railroad of New Jersey and the Le high Valley Railroad embargoed anthra cite shipments from the mines for three days, the former road on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday and the latter on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, while the Reading Company shut down work at all but two of its collieries on Friday and Saturday. The local trade is quiet. Manufacturers are complaining that their orders for the steam sizes are not being promptly filled, but this is due princi pally to the curtailment of production. One of the Lehigh Companies is reported to be cutting the new prices in this mar ket. This is being done to secure orders sufficient in quantity to move that com pany's production until May Ist. The total amount of anthracite coal Bent to market for the week ending April 4, as reported by the several carrying companies, was 597,818 tons, compared with 517,398 tons in the corres ponding week last year, an increase of 80,420 tons. The total amount of an thracite mined thus far in the year 1891 wa58,465,524 tons, compared with 6,682,- 562 tons for the same period last year, an increase of 1,782,962 tons.— Ledger. Bred in tne Bone. The story of the Cape Cod youth who spent a week in finding ten cents on the street in Boston has brought tlis Listener another story of a Cape Cod boy, who must have been a relative of that one. He happened to he visiting in Boston, a good while ago. on the Fourth of July, anil went out on the Common to see the sights. He re turned in an hour or two, looking rather rueful. "What's the matter, Silas?" he was asked. "Gosh all hemlocks!" he exclaimed; "this is the most extravagant place 1 ever see." "What has happened?" "Wal, you kuow that quarter of a dollar you gave me this morning?" "Yes. Well?" "Spent it, by bokey, all but 2 I oents, slap-dash for molasses cakes!"— Boston TranurrinL I.euil-Poisouinir Uiiuiulatire. Writing of the poisoning of water by lend pipes Alfred H. Allen, President of the English Society of Public An alysis, savs: "The proportion of lead which is generally considered to ren der water seriously objectionable is 1-20)1. of a grain per gallon. It most not he supposed, however, that there is any danger in drinking a glaaa of water containing such a minute pro portion of lead. It is not the single doso or a dozen doses which will pro dnce nny ill effects, but the oonstant use of such contaminated water. Lead is a ruin-dative poison, and each suc cessive dose becomes stored up in oer tain organs of the body until the poison ous effects ensue. Further, it must not he supposed that every one is equally susceptible to the effects of lead, there being a great difference in this respect Hot water acts much more vigorously on lead pipe than cold " A Triumphant Struggle. A child was more fond of candy than her mother thought good for her. What was thought a proper share was doled out to her one ilav, and the rest put away on the high shelf of a cupboard j beyond the child's reach. Her mother j cautioned her not to attempt reaching llt and left the room. Returning after a while, she locked Into the room, stand ing where the child oould not see her, ! anil surveyed tlie scene. There stood the child, her feet on the first shelf, to which she had climbed by aid of a chair, and her hand grasping the candy, which she hail reached to her lips.' There it paused for a moment, the little face bent in earnest thought. Suddenly the candy flew from her lips and into tlie hag again as the child leaped from the shelf on to the chaii anil thence to the floor, where she struck an attitude and shouted exultantly : 'There, God!

The authorities in the vicinity of Ilaz leton have had considerable trouble of late with the Italians employed on Coxe Bros. & Co.'s new railroad, now building in that section. The English-speaking men on the road are held in distaste by the Italians, and at the slightest provo cation the latter are inclined to the use of dangerous weapons to obtain ven geance, as they say, for the killing of their countrymen in New Orleans. The latest murderous assault was made on Monday, wheu John McNelis, a laborer who had worked but one day on the road, was the victim and narrowly es caped being annihilated. McNelis, not being very well acquainted with the work, unintentionally put something in the way of one of the Italians, known as No. 375, which interfered with his work and he immediately attacked McNelis with a pick. The latter, however, caught sight of his arrailant with the pick raised above his head and instantly grappled with him, both men falling to the ground. After considerable shuf fling around, the Italian in some man ner got McNelis' lower lip into his mouth and bit off a lage piece. McNelis then released his hold and was about to flee but to his horror found himself confront ed by nearly every Italian on the road. He only escaped under a volley of stones and clubs and, besides being minus a Eiece of his lip, was badly cut about the ead. He proceeded to a justice's office and had warrants issued for the arrest of his assailants. Several of the leaders of the onslaught, together with the one who did the most damage, were arreßted and are now in jail to await trial. Four Men Scalded. A gang of men were on Saturday even- j ing engaged in timbering a gangway at j No. 6. By some means a set of timbers j fell and crushed the large steam pipes. | The steam rushed out in large volumes and before the men could escape four of them were scalded. Owen Sharkey anil Henry Fisher were the most seriously j injured, the other two men escaping with ! slight injuries. All the men will be able to resume work in a short time.—Hazle-1 ton Standard.

The PerMinul Tax Kill. Criticism and condemnations from all sections of the State are pouring in upon the Legislature in reference to the tax bill before that body. The more the people learn of this odious measure the greater is their opposition to its unequal and inquisitive features. One of the finest dissections the bill has received is contained in a letter from Henry C. Lea, of Philadelphia, to the Senator of his district. The bill is one that strikes home to every man, rich or poor, ami tlkerefore it should be regarded as a mat ter of personal importance by every tax payer in the State. It has already pass ed the House, and unless vigorous oppo-, sition is made will pass the Senate, j How any set of men could take upon | themselves the responsibility of framing j and passing such a law is impossible to understand. A portion of the letter written by Mr. Lea is here published, and the TRIBUNE requests those of its readers, who interest themselves in the questions of taxation, to give it their attention. Mr. Lea writes: I have looked over the "Act to provide revenue for local purposes," of which you kindly sent me a copy, and I take the liberty of calling your attention to some of its remarkable features. I may premise that, as a large holder of real estate I feel the burden of local taxation acutely, and having comparatively but a small amount of capital invested in per sonal property, "tangible" or intangible, I should profit largely by any legislation which should shift the burden from real estate owners to capitalists, if it can be done without indirectly causing greater evils than it removes. 1 can, therefore, sympathize with the objects of the bill, even though I think its methods unwise, and that if enacted it would inflict seri ous injury on the prosperity of the State. As a heavy taxpayer I have naturally given the subject of taxation some thought for many years past, and my conviction is settled that real property is the surest and fairest basis on which to levy the public revenue. It cannot elude the assessor, as the great bulk of personal prop erty can; its value can be estimated with reasonable accuracy, and is not subject to violent or sudden fluctua tions; moreover, the tax levied upon it is sooner or later diffused through all classes of the community by the me dium of rentals, in a voluntary and equitable way. Besides this, the land owner is specially interested in inviting capital and business to maintain or in crease the value of his ground. Legisla tion which attracts business to his neigh borhood helps him; legislation which cripples or injures business hurts him more than it does the trader or manu facturer directly affeeted, for they can re move to a more hospitable region, while his investment is immovable. The differ ence between land at twenty-five dollars an acre and twenty-five dollars a square foot is simply that the latter is sur rounded by capital and business, while the former is remote from these sources of value. Of all classes in the community the land-owner is the one most interested in having capital and business un- 1 trammeled to earn the largest profits. He gets, sooner or later, his share in those profits, and it is suicidal for him to drive away that which alone gives his land its special value over Govern ment lands in the Territories. Ex perience has shown, moreover, that all devices to secure the complete anil equitableassessmentof personal property have proved failures, except when it is in the hands of corporations. Nothing is more elusive than intangible personal property. After legislative ingenuity is exhausted, the assessor must rely for the most part on the honesty of the taxable, which results in the honest paying both for themselves and for the dishonest. If the pressure becomes too severe for the honest, capital is easily transmitted else where and is lost to the community. The draftsman of the bill under consid eration has spared no pains or rigor to accomplish his purpose, and has only succeeded in inventing a system odiously and insufferably inquisitorial to the honest taxable, destructive to the privacy which is the right of every citizen in his private affairs, and wholly ineffi cient to prevent, detect, or punish fraud, despite the lavish threats of fine and imprisonment. Thus Section 12 threatens three years at hard labor and a fine of SIOOO for cor rupt combination between an assessor and a "taxable person," wholly overlook ing the fact that as both are liable to the punishment each can depend on the sil ence of the other, just as we have already found the same principle work in ren dering nugatory our statutes against bribery. In fact, the enormous power which this hill lodges in the hands of the assessors throws too much temptation in their way for us not to expect that it would he lurgely abused on the one hand for oppression aiul on tne other for uii -1 lawful gain. The wise legislator will always take into account the weakness of human nature, and will not imagine that by piling up penalties he can avert tlie consequences of exposing it to too severe a strain. The impossibility of accomplishing the object aimed at in the bill—the subjec tion to local taxation of every fragment of personal property owned by each taxable in excess of three hundred dollars in value—is sufficiently proved by the grotesque provisions for the as sessment of tangible personal property. Each taxable is required by Section 5 to present to the assessor a complete in ventory of everything owned by him, and business firms and corporations are expressly made "taxable persons" for this purpose. The minuteness with which this is to be done is ludicrously illustrated by the fifth special clause in this section prescribing that "musical instruments," including I presume, jews-liarps and tin trumpets, shall not be omitted. Every householder thus must hand in a catalogue of all the con tents of hjs house; every business con; cern a full and detailed account of stock; every manufacturers complete statement of all materials, tools and machinery. Every one, moreover, must set forth in detail all debts and accounts due to him, for if he fails to enumerate any of them they become outlawed and uncollectable, but no permission is given to deduct lia bilities, HO tiiat all business indebtedness within the State will he taxed twice, which will he severely oppressive to the debtor class. There is no provision that (Continued on Fourth Page.) lloxe Company Meeting.
