ATKINSON BURIED TO- DAY Better Protection is Asked by the Property Owners---A Wedding on Thursday. There is general complaint among the nearby farmers on account of the scarcity of laborers this Spring.

This is due to the abundance of work for all class of laborers at the PennsylVania Steel Works and other industrial plants adjacent to Steelton. Work was never more plentiful in Steelton than at present. Not only is there a demand for laborers, but carpenters, bricklayers, painters, hangers and other mechanics are sought after. The building boom is now on in Steelton and nearly thirty new dwelling houses are now in the course of construction in various parts of the borough. All the departments at the Pennsylvania Steel Works are running to their fullest capacity.

A number of large orders were received during the week, the most important of which was the contract for the structural work for the new East river bridge in New York city. The contract is one of the largest ever secured by the Pennsylvania Steel Company and certain departments will be kept busy on the next year. During the week 103 new names were added to the company's payrolls. There are now more men employed at the works than ever in the history of the company. Arrested and Discharged.

Reuben was arrested last evening by Constables Miller and Day on the charge of being implicated in the recent trunk robberies on the West Side. The arrest made on evidence given by Joe Stazewski, the man who was arrested as the confederate of John Mason, who was captured by several Austrians while he was in act of carrying a trunk out of a house. Hemperly was given a hearing last evening before Justice Dunkle, but the evidence did not warrant holding him for court and he was discharged. No Men's Meeting. There will be no men's meeting tomorrow afternoon Young Men's Christian Assoication Hall.

The hall is now in the hands of the paperhangers and painters. General Secretary Kesty expects to have everything in good shape for the meeting on Sunday, May 5th. Charged With Assault and Battery. Abel Acri and another Italian were arrested this morning on a charge of assault and battery by Constables A RIVER FRONT SUGGESTION. from first thousands of tons of refuse can be secured.

As to how to do it, just a word at this time. Our city assessors have just completed their and approximately the total valuation of Harrisburg is about $26,000,000. Our present city debt, including the city and water debt, is $1,000,000. Under the laws of the Commonwealth, and by a vote of the people of Harrisburg, the could borrow over $800,000. This would mean an additional of about one mill for a few years.

Think of it one mill increase i in vour taxes for the improvements that are suggested, including a city hall, a water supply without sewage, paved streets and more parks. Of course, the croaker will discourage the idea, but the people of Harrisburg are aroused and the Councils need only submit to them the proposition for an increase of the debt and they will respond. Future generations will rise to call us blessed. EIGHTEEN MINERS KILLED Terrible Mine Disaster at a Coal Mine Near Mons.
