A Beautiful Trophy.
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 was furnished by our pop
ular jeweler, Philip Geritz, who used
great skill in its selection.
A Narrow
Patrick Murray, of Upper Lehigh, had
a narrow escape from death at that place
on Tuesday last. He is employed as a
miner, robbing pillars, at No. 4 Upper
Lehigh. While at work on Tuesday
he was caught under a fall of coal and
almost completely buried. After some
difficulty he was rescued ami taken to a
place of safety, when the whole place
caved to the surface. When taken to
his home it was found that no bones
were broken, although he is severely
injured otherwise.
A New Taper In Freeland.
The Mountain Sunbeam, a new monthly
paper, edited and published by Rev. J.
W. Bedford, pastor of Trinity M. E.
Church, of South Heberton, mntle its
first appearance on Monday. 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 plot and
situations of the play are both strong
and well conceived and might vie in
interest and dramatic effect with some
of the best efforts of the modern play
wright.
The special scenes and effects, neces
sary for the proper mounting of the
piece, will be especially prepared under
the personal supervision of its author,
Mr. Miller. The first, ortrial production
of the play will take place in Freeland
at an early date, after which it will be
placed upon the road with a strong com
pany under the management of a com
petent man.

Weekly Coal Report.
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.

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

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

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! I didn't eat it after alll"

The Wicked Italians in Another Itow.
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.

struck the can and a terrible explosion
followed which could be heard for miles.
Two of the hoys were blown to atoms.
The third was badly bruised and will
likely die.
—While eight men were ascend ing the
slope of the Locust Gap Colliery, at Ash

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
