A Kick Against an Increase in the Horougli Valuations. About forty-five of the property owners of the borough responded to a call for a meeting to be held at the opera house on Tuesday evening. An organization was perfected by electing Hugh Malloy chair man and John M. Powell, Ist, secretary. It was stated by some of the gentlemen present that the meeting had been called in order to devise the best plan to have the land valuations reduced. When Assessor Washburn made his assessment the rate per foot frontage was the same as for the past few years and was satis factory to the property-owners, and there was no change in the transcripts sent out by the commissioners. "When appeal day for this borough came there was no objections raised, and in looking over the assessment the com missioners concluded that the rate in Freeland was not enough, and the valua tions wore doubled on every street in town. The ex-assessor, who had been sent for and arrived at the meeting, stated he would not at first agree to the change decided upon by the commis sioners, butafter several hours parleying with them at Wilkes-Barre, he was in duced to sign an agreement authorizing them to make the increased valuations. Me declared, however, that he made them promise the increase would also be made along the streets of the Points, in Foster, as it would be unfair to have one part of the town higher than the other, when both are equally as valuable. The change in township figures, it was stated, has not been made, because Assessor Farrar would not give his con sent, and told the commissioners the first was done properly and if they wanted to increase it to do so upon their own responsibility. The borough pro perty owners did not seem to care what rate was paid on the township streets. They were positive the rate was too high here and what made matters worse was the fact that none, if any, knew the valuation has been increased until they went to pay their taxes last week. After discussing the matter for a long time it was decided to send the ex assessor to the commissioners and try to have the matter remedied. Mr. Wash burn stated he had written to Wilkes- Barre that morning regarding the matter, and expected an answer in a day or two. If no satisfactory answer arrives Mr. Washburn is to goon Friday,accompani ed by Adam Sachs and R. Ludwig, who were selected as a committee to accom pany him. In the meantime the secre tary is to draw up a petition, requesting the commissioners to have the former figures restored, and to have it signed by as many property owners as will do so. This will be given to the committee to present to the eommissioners. Fire Company Meeting. The members of the Citizens' Hose Company met in their rooms last even ing. The treasurer reported that the proceeds of the excursion held on the 20th of August amounted to $173.01. The directors reported that they had ordered new locks and keys for the hose house. P. J.

There will he a special meeting held next Wednesday evening. Fourth DlHtrlct ltopuhlicanH. The Republican delegates elected to the legislative convention met at Hazle ton on Monday. On account of there being no contest some of the districts were not represented. The convention organized by electing Reese Lloyd, of Drifton, as chairman, and Parker Price, of Sandy Run, as secretary. Mr. I.loyd vacated the chair later on to nominate Hon. William R. Jeffrey, of Freeland, for representative. He was chosen by acclamation, and after several short addresses by prominent Republicans of the district the delegates adjourned. DeclMion Agitinttt Coal Washing. Judge Pershing, of Schuylkill county, has rendered a decision restraning Tyler, McTurk & Co., and the Mill Creek Coal Company and others from operating coal washeries near New Boston.

Their County Convention Was the Most Kxciting Tliey Have Held In Many Years-Williams and Boyle, Two Hard Workers, Get Turned I>own. The Republican county convention met at Landmessers, Hall on Tuesday morning. Nothing of any importance was accomplished before noon, except the appointing of the necessary commit tees. After dinner the committee on organization reported General McCart ney, of Wilkes-Barre, for chairman, and the usual secretaries and vice presi dents. For congress the names of C. D. Fos ter, Morgan B. Williams and Charles A. Miner were presented. One ballot gave Foster a majority of the votes, as follows: Foster 138 Williams 68 Miner 9 For sheriff there were five aspirants, Phil J. Boyle, Hazleton; Walter Garri son, Shickshinny; Dr. 8. W. Sutliff, Nanticoke; W. D. Evans, Pittston, anil John McMurtrie, Wilkes-Barre. After the third ballot the lowest candidate was dropped, and the vote on each of the five ballots was as follows: 1 2 3 4 5 Evans 41 51 51 70 125 Garrison 72 04 64 71 85 Sutliff 58 57 54 69 Boyle 40 37 38 McMurtrie 1 When the chairman announced that Evans was the nominee great confusion ensued. The Democratic convention couldn't be compared to it so far as noise ■ was concerned. At least one-half of the delegates were trying to talk at once, and charges of treachery and deception were heard in all parts of the building. The chairman pounded and yelled, hut to no avail, as the delegates kept up the disturbance until they were tired out. When enough peace had been restored to hear McCartney's voice again, he call ed for nominations for recorder. I). S. W. Sutliff, Walter Garrison and Phil J. Boyle, three of the defeated candidates for sheriff, were named, and also Fred 11. Price. Mr. Boyle and Mr. Garrison, however, were not in the best of humor to accept another defeat, and both de clined to permit their names to go before the delegates again. With these two out the ballot was: Sutliff 137 Price 8 Dr. McKee, of Plymouth, was nomin ated for coroner, and Frank Silverwood, of Kingston, was named for surveyor. The senatorial convention met in the morning, and after electing officers George 11. Troutman nominated C. W. Kline, of Hazleton, for senator. There was no opposition and he was elected by acclamation. The nominee made spirit ed address, in which there were some extravagant claims about the majority lie is going to receive and the kind of a fight he will make. Those of tile Freeland Republicans who cared to talk about the ticket yes terday were not very enthusiastic over the work of the conventions. Many of them acknowledged that a mistake had been made in defeating Williams and Boyle, but thought the nominees might yet have a fighting chance. Over a dozen showed their dissatisfaction by refusing to express any opinion on the strength of the ticket, and if the same feeling prevails throughout Luzerne county that exists around here the nomi nees are beaten already. After the Liquor Men. Constable Denis Gallagher, of Wilkes- Barre, arrived in town on Tuesday and added two more, Peter Yansinski and John Guido, to the already large num ber of liquor men arrested for violating the law. He had a decoy with him on this visit in the shape of a Polander, and several attempts were made by the de coy in this vicinity yesterday to catch his unsuspecting countrymen in the meshes of the law, but as the liquor men have an eye to business the past few months he was unsuccessful. It has been hinted that Gallagher's eagerness to tiave the law obeyed was not that he loved the law alone, but that the word "settle" would ho an important factor in every case. The liquor men are determined to light the matter to a finish in the court, and will make no compromise one way or another. They have some of the best legal talent at the county seat em ployed to see that justice is given them. Gallagher states, however, that the rev enue collector is behind the whole affair, and the collector lias been receiving so many letters from this section request ing him to take these steps that he was compelled to do it in the interest of law and order. \ esterday a large number of witnesses, chietiy saloon keepers from the Points, were summoned to appear before the grand jury to-day in the cases of the liquor men who were arrested a few weeks rgo. Gallagher is confident that true hills will be found against them in every case. To ltun a Foot Race. Patrick McGuire, Jr., of Upper Le high, and Thomas Laughran, of Hazle ton, tied a match on Tuesdav for a foot racj for S2OO a side. The' match was the result of a race they had run that day for S3O which Loughr ,n won. SSO was placed in the hands of Johnny Williams, of Hazleton as a forfeit, and another meeting will be held shortly to arrange a date and place for the race. Saturday Evening; Picnic. The Citizens' Hose Company will hold a picnic at the park on Saturday even ing. DePierro's orchestra, refreshments of all kinds and everything that may be required to give the sports a pleasant evening will be in abundance. Picnic) will begin promptly at 0 o'clock, ' MARRIED YESTERDAY. Two Mure Youlig Couples Are Cnitetl in the Bonds of Matrimony. A very pretty wedding was celebrated in St. James' Episcopal church, Drifton, last evening, when Miss Ada Rowlands and John B. Cnnningham, both of Drif ton being joined in matrimony by Rev. J. P. Buxton, of Drifton. Botli bride and groom have long been residents of Drifton, and their social standing was never better shown than by the large number of friends and relatives in at tendance at the ceremony. The church was well filled when the maid of honor, Miss HattieCunningham, a sister of the groom, made her appear ance, followed by the bride 011 the arm of her father, John Rowlands. The groom followed, resting on the arm of liis brother, L. Cunningham, of Michigan, and then the first bridesmaid and groomsman, Miss Mary Davis and Samuel Cunningham, followed by Miss Eva Cunningham and Chas. Cunning ham, who held the honor of second bridesmaid and groomsman. At tho centre of the altar the father of the bride gave her over to tho groom, then Rev. Buxton spoke the woods that made them husband and wife. At the conclusion of the ceremony the party, headed by the newly joined couple pro ceeded from the church to the residence of the bride's father. The reception which took place was a very brilliant affair, tlie bride and grooin receiving the congratulations and best wishes of the large number of guests, and the clock pointed to nearly midnight ere the gathering dispersed. Yesterday at 3.30 o'clock tlie wedding of Miss Maggie Kelly and James IV. Carey, botli of Freeland, was celebrated at St. Ann's Catholic church. The bridesmaid was Miss Bridget Gallagher, of Philadelphia, and the groomsman, James McNelis, of Harwood. Rev. F. P. McNally performed the cerinony. The young couple are weil and favorably known in this vicinity, and their popu larity was well attested by the large number of friends and relatives who congratulated them on their return to tiie residence of tho bride's parents. In tlie evening a reception was held at which the immediate friends and rela tives of tho young couple passed a few pleasant hours. Waiting for tlio KetuniH. It bore a striking resemblance to elec tion nights around the Lehigh Valley station last night. Freeland had about thirty people who could not rest content until they had heard from Now Orleans, and it was an anxious little throng that crowded around the operator as tlie rounds came in. Tlie reports were a little disjointed at times, but enough came in to cause a flutter among Sulli van's admirers, and when the result of the fight was announced very few could believe it. Several different cities were called up, and as each one corrobated tlie report it was finally accepted by nearly all. Some, however, insisted that the morning would bring a different version. The betting through the town last night was brisker than at any time since the match was made. There was a good deal of trouble in finding C'orbett money, as the mrjority of his friends did not have sufficient faith to risk money. A few of the sporting people went in for the Califoraian, and a con servative estimate of the amount that changed hands would be about $250, nearly all of which was in $lO or smaller bets. "It Don't Pay." The person who conducts his business on the theory that it doesn't pay, and he can't afford to advertise, sets up his judgement in opposition to all the best business men in the world. With a few years' experience in conducting a small business on a few thousand dollars of capital, lie assumes to know more than thousands of business men whose hourly transactions aggregate more than his do in a year, and who have made their millions by pursuing a course that lie says does not pay. Itanu Hall on Sunday. All the arrangements are now com pleted for the game on Sunday between the Fearnots and Tigers at Freeland park.

ONE OF ONE MOST POPULAR POETa His First Effort in Verse Was Made While Learning the Trade of Shoemaker—Ho j Was an Ardent Antislavery Advocate. ; His Office Once Sacked by a Mob. j AMESBUUY, Mass., Sept. B. Amesbury is a laddened town today. The news of the death of John G. Whittier, poet, friend and citizen, at his summer homo at Hampton Falls, N. H., has brought grief to every heart. The last few days wore full of anx iety, but the hope has over hold sway with the people hero that they might once again see the beloved form on the streets of Ames bury ; but that has passed and tho tolling bells echo the grief in many a heart. Whittler's last conscious utterance was one of recognition of his Mrs. Samuel @L. Pickard, who lived with him for some years pre vious to fflr mar riage. Mrs. Pick ard asked him if he knew her and he replied; "Yes, I havd known you all the time," and ho immediately lapsed into uncon sciousnoßs, in which state ho re mained until ho passed away. His end was apparent ly painless and peaceful. His body has been brought j. o. WHITTIER. to his home in Amesbury, and the funeral will be held at 2:30 on Saturday afternoon from his late residence on Friend street, tho house in which mauy of his best poems wore writ ten and tho shrino of every visitor to Ames bury. Tho body will rest in the Friends' ceme tery, connected with Union cemetery, in the family plot where rest his parents, un cle, aunt, sister and brother, and thus will the family again be united here as well as In the land of rest. All business will bo suspended in Amesbury on Saturday dur ing the funeral. Whittler's Career. John Greenleaf Whittier, tho gentle Quaker poet, was born Dec. 17, 1807, on the ancestral farm at Haverhill. Ho was brought up on the farm aud had only a common school education, learning, while still a boy, the trade of a shoemaker. When only oighteon years old ho began to con tribute verses to the Haverhill Gazette. In 1820 he bocamo the editor of The American Manufacturer, and a year later he took ed itorial charge of The New England Weekly Review. After a few months he roturued to tho Haverhill farm, where ho remained for several years. William Lloyd Garrison, who was editor of the Newburyport Free Press, has related the beginning of Whit tier's work as a poet as follows: "Going up stairs to my offico I observed a letter lying near the door. I opened it and found it contained an original piece of poetry for Tho Free Press. The ink was very pale, the handwriting very smull, and having at that time a horror of original newspaper poetry, my first impulse was to tear it without reading it, siuco the chance of rejection was as ninety-uine to one. Summoning up my resolution, howevor, I perused it, aud was so gratified with it that I gave it a place in my journal. "As I was nuxious to find out the writer, my post rider one day divulged the secret, saying that ho had brought the lotter and that it was written by a Quaker lad named Whittier, who was daily at work with hammer and lapstono on the shoemaker's bench at East Haverhill. I lost no time in driving to see the youthful bard, who camo into tho room with shrinking diffidence, blushing like u maideu and almost unable to speak. I gave him somo words of en couragement, but addrossed myself par ticularly to his parents, urgiug them to grant him every facility for tho develop ment of his wonderful genius. This was tho beginning of a lifelong friendship, founded on familiarity of purpose and prin ciples." A Popular Poet. In 1835 and 183(3 he represented his neigh bors in tho lower branch of tho legislature. During the latter part of 1830 ho became socretary of tho American Antislavery so ciety at Philadelphia, and in 1838 und 183'J ho was the editor of Tho Pennsylvania Freeman and Antislavery Journal. His of fice was sacked aud burned by a mob, aud finally he came to Amesbury and settled here in 1840. He was tho corresponding editor of The National Era, of Washington, for several yoars, and contributed to that publication many of his best antislavery lyrics. Mr. Whittier never married, but always lived in the manner of simple Quaker folk. About fifty years ago ho sold the family residence and farm at Haverhill, and moved with his mother to Amesbury. Tho exterior of his house was as severely plain as any of his Quaker brethren ceuld have desired, but his study is remembered by scores of his friends as one of the sunuiost, coziest retreats in New England. No American poet, with the exception, perhaps, of Longfellow, has been more pop ular than Whittier. This is ascribed to the noble simplicity of his character, which was reflected in all his writings, whether in vorso or prose. His first volume in prose and vorso, "Legends of New England," was published in 1831, and since that time col lections of his writings have appeared almost every year. Tho last edition of his poetical and prose works was published in 1889 in seven volumes. Among his best known works are "Lays of My Homo and Other Poems," published in 1843; "Old Portraits and Modern Skotches," 1850; "Homo Ballads aud Poems," I860; "Snow Bound," 1862; "In War Timo and Othor Poems,". 1863; "Tho Tent on tho Beach," 1807; "Among tho Hills," 1868; "Hazel Blossoms," 1874; "Tho Vision of Echard," "The King's Missive," "Buy of Seven Islands" aud "Pooms of Nature," all published within the past dozen years.
