George Chamberlain, of Pulton street, passed away yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock, after a lingering Illness. For some months past Mr. Chamberlain's condition had been serious and the end was not unexpected. In the passing of Mr. Chamberlain, Pittston loses one of her oldest residents, a man of sterling character and one who served his adopted country faithfully on the field of battle. Although he had reached a ripe old age when death came to him, yet much of the physical suffering that had been his portion during his last years was doubtless due to the hardships he endured during his service as a soldier in the Civil war. George Chamberlain was born In March, 1823, in the village of Timsbury, Somersetshire, England, which has sent to this city many of our most substantial and honored residents. He was married in 'Pimsbury to Mary A. Gilt, In 1844. and shortly afterward the couple Immigrated to the United States. Coming direct to Pittston, Mr. and Mrs. Chamberlain established a homo on what was then Scotch Hill, Pittston township, but which is now a portion of the city. Ever since coming to Pittston, more than 60 years ago, Mr. Chamberlain had been a resident of that section. The places fixed for hearing applicants from this locality are as follows: Court room No. 1—Avoca borough, Duryea borough and Exeter borough; No. 2—Hughestown borough, Jenkins township; the arbitration room—Plttstoij city, Pittston township; orphans' court room— Yatesville borough and Wyoming borough.Portland, Ore., Feb. 12.—Twenty persons are believed to have perished and ten'were injured in a fire which swept the district of frame buildings between Morrison, Alder, East Water streets and the river this morning. The district Included several lodging houses. Of the dead five bodies have been recovered, two of them having been Identified as those of L. Dally, who died from burns after reaching a hospital, and Nate Young, a stableman of the East Hide Transfer Co. The fire broke out at 3:4G in the Mt. Hood saloon and burned with great rapidity. The buildings were built on pilings. A draft carried the flames under the roadway of Morrison street, burning the approach to the bridge. The frame structures on both sides of the roadway were soon blazing. The Lucanla, which has arrived at New York, brought a wedding gift for Miss Roosevelt from Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria-Hungary. It was In the care of Putser Andrew MUltken. It is supposed to, be a magnificent necklace. The sealed package is addressed to I,. Hengelmuller von Hengervar, ambassador of Austria-Hungary. ?lay.

A sensation was created in Wllkes- Sarre this morning, when Judge Wheaon, speaking from the bench, delivered a scathing denunciation of the "axpayers' association and Col. Dougherty, of the Nliith Regiment, who Is •onnectcd with the Association, and 'oncluded by directing the district attorney to bring Col. Dougherty Into 'ourt, together with all the other of- Icials of the association, if necessary, to prove the assertions that they had made concerning the fixing of Juries !n the county.

At the outbreak of the Civil war, Mr. Chamberlain enlisted in the first company of soldiers raised In Pittston, which afterward became a part of the Eleventh Pennsylvania Volunteers. He was in the battle of Falling Waters. Va., In 1861. The regiment, afterward pursued the Confederate general, Johnson, to Winchester, Va. Afterward the Eleventh lay for a time In camp at Bunker Hill, Va. Then the command was ordered to ! Harper's Ferry, and found that the arsenal had been set on tire by the Confederates.

Starting out from Fort Delaware, the battery went to Washington, D. C.. remaining there until after the battle of Gettysburg. The regiment to which the battery was attached was a portion of the army that lay in camp around the national capital to defend it from an expected attack from Lee's army. After Lee's defeat at Gettysburg, the regiment was removed across the Potomac river to Arlington Heights, at the — old Lee residence, and remained there *or some time. From there the regiment went to the Peninsula and Cold Harbor, thence to Petersburg, Va., In 1864. Mr. Chamberlain participated In the siege of Petersburg for 71 days. Although his olothlng was pierced by bullet;, his body escaped, without a scratch. While stationed at Chapin's Farm, Mr. Chamberlain was examined by General Benjamin F. Butler as to his qualifications as a miner, and was ordered by him to report for duty In making excavations for the Dutch Gap canal, in Virginia. This canal was deemed necessary by the war department in order to make" a nearer route to get supplies up tho James river. Mr. Chamberlain was given charge of the mining operations. The undertaking, though full of danger, was successfully carried out. In consideration of the valuable service thus rendered by Mr. Chamberlain, he was granted a 30-day fur-, lough to visit his home. vOn his return to the field he rejoined his company and went with tho regiment to Petersburg, Va., and was there at the time of the surrender of Lee at Appomattox. on AprH 9. 1865.

The Judge, during his address, stated that officers of the Taxpayers' Association had been called before the judges after their advertisement appeared and questioned concerning It. They stated that It was merely a bluff and that they did not expect to be called on to pay It. Judge Wheaton evidently did not think the bench should be held up to view in such a manner.
