A full company of infantry was recruited at Towanda on Monday by Captain John Flannery, of tho Ninth l'enn'a Volunteers, in three and otic half hours, the shortest time on record. The company was sworn in and left at once by the shortest route for Chicka tnaiiga, where it will be attached, as Company M, to tho Ninth regiment. This fills tho Ninth. William T. Thomas, of Larksville, a member of Company A, Ninth regiment, died at Chickamauga on Monday of typhoid fever. He was only 20 years old and was a son of Edward W.

Dougherty, of the Ninth, lias applied for promotion to brigadier general. He lias boon acting commander of the Third brigade, Third division, First army corps, since lie ar rived at, Chickamauga, and his thorough knowledge of the duties of the position j won him much praiso from his superior; officers. Thomas Mulliearn, of Hansford, who enlisted in Company K, Ninth regiment, at Hethlohein, last Thursday, fell from tlie train bearing the company to Chicka mauga, and was instantly killed.

Bears the /Y Ito Kind You Have Always Bought *"T" Freelatid'* Valuation Reduced. After months of figuring, re-arrang ing, re-adjusting and "equalizing," the county commissioners have advanced sufficiently with their work of fixing tlie assessment of land, property and occupations to give the people a chance to learn where they are at. After all the talk and promises of equal assess ments, the result of their labors shows the ad j i/s ted valuation of Frceland bor ough to be $1,002,487. The valuailon for taxable purposes, however, has been set at one-fourth of this amount, or $250,022. by the commissioners. This is a reduction from last year of $13,877. the valuation in 1897 beings2ol,499, and as tho borough and the school district then had the tax rate at tho highest notch allowed by law it will be seen that the revenue of botli treasuries will be reduced in 1898 as a consequence of this so-called equitable adjustment of the valuation. According to the commissioners' now system properties throughout the county have been assessed at their supposed actual value and coal lands havo been assessed at SSO per foot. The general revision shows that tho aggregate valua tion of Luzerne county property is $124,- 000,000. The commissioners believe that one-fourth of this amount is suffi cient for taxable purposes and decided to make the adjusted valuation on this basis all over the county. The real values, as they stand on the assessment books, will not be changed, but in the last column, headed "valua tions as adjusted for taxation," only one-fourth of tho full values, including occupations, will be entered. The occupation values have been increased to conform to the property valuation, but tlie occupation valuation will also be divided by four and this will reduce the taxes of miners and laborers quite materially. For instance, last year a minor's occupation was valued at SSO and tax was levied upon that. This year tlie occupation is valued at $l5O, but this Is divided by four, making S3B, and the latter is the basis upon which miners' taxes will be levied. Wheelmen Making Progress. The Associated Wheelmen met at the Cottage hall Monday evening. The com mittee on right of way reported having seen Mr. Markle, who was satisfied to allow them the use of ground, but he would first have to bring the matter before the Highland Coal Company. The Sandy Hun committee reported having secured the right of way over M. S. Kommorer's land, also a route as far as Pond Creek. It was decided to allow the Sandy Hun wheelmen to commence work at once on the path. It was de ckled that the board of directors procure tho services of .1. M. Carr, Esq., on the terms ofTorod by him, to procure a charter. The board of directors were instructed to draw up a constitution and bylaws and present the same at the next meeting for adoption; also to get prices and samples of stock certificates from the printers, and to order 250 from the office which, in their judgment, has tho best for tho purpose. George Kipple was elected financial secretary. Tho right of way committee was instructed to wait on the borough council for per mission to run the path along the left of the Public park on Main street so as to connect with proposed path below the creek. Another meeting will bo held this evening. May I'arndfl on Lalmr Day. From the Ilazleton Sentinel.

Councilman Zemuiiy'i* Bottling House Burned to the Ground and William Jen kins* Double Dwelling I'artially De stroyed—Loss Is Over $5,000. A mysterious (ire was discovered shortly after 3.30 o'clock this morning on South Washington street, and before tiie firemen obtained control of the (lames one building was burned to the ground and a double dwelling was par tially destroyed. The buildings were owned by Councilman M. Zcmany and William Jenkins and were occupied by Squire Hugh Shoviin and George Fagan. Tho loss from (ire and water and dam- j age to furniture, as nearly as tho in- ' terested parties could estimate this morning, is over $5,000. The Zemany property was located al the extreme end of South Washington street, next to the Lehigh Valley Rail road tracks. The lire was discovered by John 11. Shoviin, who lives nearly opposite, and the entire structure was then a mass of (lames. The interior, it is stated, was burning fiercely and the fire had broken out at the sides of Un building. From this point It is several blocks to the fire bell, and much time was lost in getting to tho alarm. Once it was sounded, however, the response was prompt on the part of the firemen and citizens, and two streams were turned on tho blaze, which, by this time, had communicated with the Jenkins' proper ty, on tho sido occupied by Squire Shoviin. Tho tire in Mr. Zemany's building had such a headway that it was known to lie doomed from tho time it was discovered, and strenuous efforts were made to savo the adjoining property, That the lire men succeeding in even partially ac complish this is due to their hard work j for half an hour and to the fact that the morning was calm and without wind. Tho intense heat from tho Zematn building interfered with the saving or much of Mr. Shovlin's furniture, and so rapid was tho advance of tho lire that many articles on tho second (loor were burned beforo they could be reached. Everything on tho garrets of both resi dences wore destroyed, and many valu able articles of both families were broken and damaged while being taken out. Efforts were made early to pull down the Zemany building, but these were not successful until a large part of it had been burned. It was built of very strong timber, and one section, contain ing an ice depository, resisted until the last. The heavy lumber and sawdust combined to make tho fire an exceeding ly hot one. Tho other sections of this building were used as a storehouse for liquors and wines, and several barrels of these went up in smoke. It was two stories high, with a bottling establish ment in tho basement. Mr. Jenkins' property was a line dou ble dwelling, only a few feet distant from the other, and will have to be practically rebuilt, although much of the lumber on Mr. Fagan's side can be used again. The mysterious part of tho fire is that no work has been done iu tho Zemany building for somo time, and there was no lire of any description, nor chemicals that might start a blaze, in or around tho premises. It lias every appearance of incendiary origin. There was no insurance on either of tho buildings, their contents or tho fur niture of Messrs. Shoviin and Fagan. Mr. Zemany's property had been insur ed, but tho policy expired in November, 1897, and was not renewed. The estimated losses are: M. Zem any, building, $2,200; contents, SBOO. William Jenkins, building, $1,500. Hugh Shoviin, furniture, books, etc., s7oo. George Fagan, furniture, etc., SSOO. Mr. Fagan removed today to Timony's building on Adams street and Mr. .Shov iin to William Mulhearn's building on Washington street.
