DECORATION DAY.
BLOOMSBURG.

Decoration day was finally observed at
Bloomsbury. An offer by the band of their
services to any organization who would under
take the necessary arrangements preparatory to
decoration failed to induce town association to
take the lead. The Philologian Society of the
Normal School, wide awake body, hearing
this, took initatory steps on Monday, inviting
the School and Calliepian Society to unite with
them. The latter declined. A successful day
was the result of their cxerlons.
The exercises were varied, and more to the
point than they have been during previous
years. After the graves were decorated with the
exception of those in the ring, around which the
soldiers orphans of the Normal, IA in number
had cifclcd with floral offerings, an earnest
prayer was rendered by Rev. r. +. IIonmeier
DIR. Griswold, by request, read in an impressive
manner an appropriate selection entitled "Cover
Them Over" Next followed the decoration of
the remaining graves by the orphans, after
which they sweetly sang "Bear them home ten.
derly." The president of the Philologian Soci-
ETY., j. X. Bitenbenler offered few well chos-
en- Introductory remarks, and then introduced
DIR. Griswold. The DR.. claimed the attention
of the audience to give expression to a simple
thought, TIE LESSON OF THE DAY. The
School then sang an ode which had been written
for the occasion by one of the Society. The ex-
ercises closed by the able recitation of the "Boy
Brittain"by the senior class. 1t seems desirable
that some permanent arrangement should be
made for the permanent observance of the day.

SHOOTING AFFRAY,

On Tuesday night last our usually quiet
town was started by the report that man had
been shot at the Central Hotel. On inquiry
the following facts were ascertained. q, B
Mellick who has been absent from home for
some time returned on Tuesday morning. In
the afternoon he got into an alteration with
Milton Charles which ended in "A scuille AT
ter they had separated Mellick went to the
Central Hotel and sat down in the saloon, where
he had been but a short time when Charles
euNzad, drew a. pistol, and fired, 1t is said
that he aimed at Mellick's head, but by throw
ing the body to one side and raising his arm,
the bullet was received in the right wrist, go
ing clear Through, and dropping ON the iloor,
Charles then went out and delivered himself
to Esq. Brewer, saying that he had shot man
but did not know whether he had killed him
or not, At the same time, he handed over
the pistol to the justice, Charles was bound
over for hearing We understand that Mel
lick is not seriously injured. His wound was
dressed by DIR, McKelyy, and he remained
about oil the evening, On Wednesday morn
he left for Philadelphia,

BERWICK,

The gathering at this place was probably the
largest ever seen there, and showed plainly that
the people remembered the promises made in
lSGl. The whole surrounding country was
drained Of its inhabitants, and tne fire compa-
MES from Bloomsbury Danvlle and Scranton,
with civic societies from the entire neighborhood
added ectdt TO the OCCASION In speaking of the
ceremonies, the Republican, whose editors were
present, says;
The floral chariot with thirty eight young
ladies dressed in white carrying the floral offer
ings was an appropriate part of the ceremony.
The car was built in the shape of a pyramid,
and upon the apex stood Miss Laura Ruch. rep.
resenting the Goddess of Liberty Beautiful
and appropriate was the general verdict. The
army and navy by John Shannon and Charles
Wolf impersonated sailor and soldier stand
ing in complete harmony upon platform COW
cred by the American flag. A good representa-
ton of George Washington and Martha, his
wife, was givon by Mr. Wesley Shannon and
Miss Alice Reedy, dressed in the costume of
Continental times. After the procession had
passed through the principal streets it proceeded
to the cemetery where slept the ilustrions dead.
Here LeroyT. Thompson, Esq, President of the
day, took charge, and the order If exercises was
singing by the Berwick Musical Society, PRAYER
by Rev. j. III. McGarrah, recitation by Miss
BE ssie Thompson OF poem entitled "The Spirit
OF 'I6" composed by Mrs. S. c. Jayne, oratior
by Col Z. G. Jackson, PRAYER by Rev. James
Dickson, decoration by the thirty-eight Young
ladies. Prof. II. A. Stees, the Memorial Hsto-
rian, gave brief sketch at the grave of each de.
ceased soldier. The poem written by Mrs. 5.
G. Jayne evinced genius of high order. Mrs.
j ayiNe is the daughter of the late Rev. Dr. Gere,
a talented minister of the NJ. Z. Church. The
lea ding feature of the day was the Grafton by
Col, e. q. jackson. If it were not that we hope
to ay it before our readers in our next issue, we
should attempt synopsis. Col. Jackson's style
of oratory is impressive, and during the entire
delv cry of his Grafton he held his vast audience
by the charm Of his eloquence.

EAsToN, June 5.--Alvin Laros, son of
Martin and Mary Laros, who were buried
yesterday, died last night from poison adj.
ministered last Wednesday to the family by
hbner Z. laros the son and brother. This
makes the fourth member Of the household
who has died
post mortem examination was held on
Moses Schug's remains yesterday, and the
stomach was brought to this place, and DIR.
Mclntire, of Easton, will analyze the con-
tents this week.
Laros this morning confessed to a reporter
of the Easton Express that he committed the
deed for money to help him in the study OF
the law. He said he was sorry after he saw
his family so sick and took couple of swal-
lows of coffee to die with them.
In conversation with a fellow prisoner on
Saturday night he asked the latter what he
was in Jail for, and when told for larceny
he remarked, "Oh, | am here for larger
crime, for poisoning whole family" He
SAID an evil moment came over him, and he
did the deed.
When told this morning that his brother
Alvin was dead, he exclaimed. ooh, nv
God my Cod ~ and burst into tears. He
refuses to eat anything, and his comrade in
the cell towards Sunday morning awoke and
found him twisting his bed sheet into a rope
probably with the design of committing
suicide.
The tragedy, arrest and confession have
caused the greatest excitement throughout
the county. The funeral of Laros and wife
yesterday was attended by thousands of
people from all directions.

Fire near HaghesuRe. afternoon,
about half past twelve o'clock, the barn belong
ing to Ellis Ar;ley, near Hughesyile, on the
road leading to Muncy, was burned to the
ground, and, sad to relate,a iour-year old dangh-
ter of Mr.. Artley was burned to crisp. The
little girl and some other children, it is alleged,
were playing with matches in the barn, and to
this act is attributed the fire. The child, when
found, was about forty ards from the barn, and
it is supposed that it ran that disiauce enyeloped
in flame and fell, to die an agonizing death.

were rescued. What amount of grain, etc, was

On Sunday, after attending church at st.
Stephens, where we heard charming music,
VIC took drive in the park, and from what
we saw, were fully convinced that the man
ayers OF the exposition are makirga II mis-
take in closing the grounds on Sunday. 1t
Is the only time on which the laborinr clas-
ses can visit them, and surely they ought 70
be allowed an opportunity to improve them
selves by an examination Of the industries Of
the world,as well as the more fortunate elias.
Ses who can afford to leave their business
during the week But this is not the stron-
gest argument in favor of opening the
grounds. The commission have losed
them because thev do not want the Sabbath
desecrated. The result is that the guards
who have nothing to do, nut must be at
their posts, spend the time in playing cards
The privileged lew who get in somehow take
the occasion to dead head their friends, and
give them sight unobstructed by the crowd.
while the labOring man who would save
enough during the week to take his family
out on sunday afternoon, it permitted,
leaves his family at home, and goes alone
to some OF the thousand drinking saloons on
the outskirts where he passes his time in a
manner not at all profitable to any one but
the vendor of beverages. / would remark
were that all drinking places in the city do
business with open doors without fear of be
ing molested. If the proper authorities
would take some steps to close these places
Of iniluty, and open the Centennial grounds
they would be doing the cause of morality
far better service. But [ have already
exceeded my limits, and as the senior edi.

the several churches in town, the meeting was
