DEATH OF Hon. JAMES BLooM.-It is
with emotions Of deep regret that we record
the death of Hon. James Bloom, of this
county. He died at his residence in Bloom
to ornship, on Monday morning, September
18th 1865, of typhoid fever, aged about II
years. William Bloom, the father of the
deceased removed to Clearfield County in
1902, with his family, where they have resi-
ded ever since. In 1861 James was elected
Associate Judge, and discharged the duties
of his Office with fidelity. He was man
much beloved by all who knew him, on ac-
count of his kind and friendly dispo stion, and
iOvial and pleasant address. His death
will be deeply mourned by his numerous
family connections, and regretted by his
many warm and admiring friends.

TnE RAFTsmAn,s JouRNAl.

and Ridgway say those places are over
thirty miles soutii OF the northern out-crop
of the coal Of the great Appalachian coal
fields.
Such being the facts, indisputabe, all we
have to do is to build the railroad and the
coal will come. Surely, this city can do this
thing.
The motives are the very strongest which
call upon us to build this road to the coal
region. With cheap bituminous coalwe can
enter into manufacturing great variety of
commodities, and that will bring in a great
population. Without low-priced fuel our
growth must be moderate All we require
to make this great manufacturing city Is
this one item of COAL and there it Is, await
ing an outlay of one or two millions OF dol
lars to build road to it.
How long would such a community as
that of Chicago neglect their opportunities as
we are doing. They would call a meeting
and subscribe the needed sum In one eve
ming; they are projecting railroads contlnu-
ally, every one of which promotes their
growth, but not one of all their roads has
been so advantageous to them as road
leading to the great coal fields of Pennsyl
vania would be to u.s.
1t is said that railroad of about 100
miles would penetrate 40 or so miles into
the coal heldS south OF us. 1ne city OF
Philadelphia, which is vast manufacturing
city, the most SO on this continent, brings
the majority Of the coal used there about
the same distance
Cincinnati, which consumes In her manu-
factories great deal of coal has to rely on
the supplies brought from a long distance up
the Ohio and Monongahela.
Few places would procure their fuel from
shorter distances than we, if we had a rail
road leading down into Elk and Cleartield
counties.
Doubtless our people are tired of hearing
about coal from Pennsylvania, and coal
railroads still coal they must have, if not
for manufacturing, for heating and cooking,
and pay ten to fifteen dollars per ton for it
sometimes.
The saving railroad would effect, on our
present consumption, in very few years
would build such railroad as is needed.
Look at It as we will, the commonest die
tates of thrift and prudence, call upon US to
take steps once more to give life to some
good, sensible plan for reaching these coal
deposits, which we by this time feel sure lie
so near US, and to give our money too.
Will not our real estate owners, and our
commercial men, countenance the construc-
tien Of this needed railway. {.

The Carnival of Crime.

There never was, perhaps, a period OF
time when the baser passions of men run riot
to such an extent present. Scarcely a
newspaper can be picked up that does not
record murder, robbery, or some other hien-
Gus offence The poisoning of seven per-
sons by Mrs Grinder, in Allegheny city,
Pa, has already been mentioned in our col
umus If anything, still more horrible at
fair occurred recently in England. A man
calling himself Ernest Southey, a billiard
marker, went with three children of a Mrs.
White, his paramour, to coffee house in
London, and after having been there few
days, put them to bed in the evening, and
next morning they were found i'll bed pois
oned to death. Whilst the news of the deed
was filling London with excitement, theper-
petrator, having made good his escape, was
engaged, 20 miles off, on other work equally
horrible 1t seems his real name was Ste
phen Forwood, and that, some years ago, he
had abandoned his wife at Ramsgate. Hav-
ing found her, he asked to have private
conversation, which being granted, he. con-
fessed that he had murdered the three chill
eren in London then drew pistol and shot
his wife and himself 4 few days since at
Dedham, Mass, Mrs Susannah Marston,
whilst laboring undera fit of insanity, admin
istered chloroform to her husband and
daughter, and then with pistol, inflicted
such wounds as to cause almost instant death.
Last week Mr. David Muir, the Superin-
tendant of the New York and Schuylkill
coal company was foully assassinated at
New Mine, in Schuylkill county, Pa, and
thus far the perpetrators of the deed have
eluded the officers Of the law The recital
of these crimes is not at all consonant with
our sense of taste. We make this brief
sketch of them only to give an insight into
the moral condition of the world, in our day,
and of showing the necessity of every order
loving citizen exerting himself in such away
as will tend to restrain men from the COM
mission of wrong and of crime.
