THE COLUMBIAN AND DEMOCRAT, BLOOMSBURG. COLUMBIA

There isan ordinance of the town pro.
h'Diting the shooting of fire crackers and
squibs within the town limits. Following
'he example set by the republicans four
years ago In the violation of that ordinance,
somebody purchased lot of fireworks to
be sent of during the jolifcation last Fri.
day night, and some of them were display.
ed on Main street. This set some of our
republican friends in frenzy OF excite
ment, and the denunciations OF the demo-
cratic town authorities were long and loud,
because this thing was permitted. The
facts are that Constable Woodward forbid
inc use Of any fireworks, and but for the fact
That the fireworks all went off at once by
an accident, the wagon containing them
would have been stopped Four years ago
TWO republicans were arrested and fined
nvc dollars each and costs, for similar
act One paid his fine and the other APP
peaIed the case to the court, and his fine
has never been paid,
On Monday Charles Yost was arrested
ana taken before the President of the
council for setting off the fireworks and
was fined five dollars and costs
This makes things even, and there is no
ground for any charges of partiality against
the authorities.

On Friday night while the Democrats
were rejoicing, there was darkness thick
as mud about the dwellings Of many disap-
pointed and disheartened Republicans
Not ray of light cleaned through the
tishtly-closed shutters of their front win
dows, and even the kitchen girls are sup
posed to have been compelled to sit in
darkness with screen before the cook
stove, for fear CLEAN of light might be
seen in the back part of the house. The
masters Of the mansions are suspected OF
sitting in their cellars wrapped in sack
cloth, with ashes scattered profusely over
their heads, cursng the Democracy in gem
eral, and old DIR. Burchard in particular
Here and there a head appeared from a
second story window, where curiosity got
the better of the orders of the head of the
house, but as rule the Republicans seem
ed to forget that the President-elect will
be President If the United States, and not
simply the President of the Democratic
party, In many places the people have
united, irrespective of party, in illumina-
tions and friendly feeling, but such liberal
ity of political sentiment does not exist
here. Notwithstanding this, the Demo-
Gratis made just as much noise, and painted
the town just us red as though there were
no houses Of mourning along the line

Another sad case occurred at Allentown

is year-old child of MI Lewis Leslie. Mr.
Leslie is a pudder by trade, but as the
rolling mills are not in operation he found
employment in the ear works at Ferndale,

Leslie left the house on an errand, leaving

Soon the garments were all ablaze, and
seeing the childs perlous position the rest
Of the children ran out of the house and
screamed for help. BY the time assistance
arrived, however, all the child's clothing
had been consumed by the fire and the
poor infant was horribly burned about the
body, face, arms and back, and is not cx-
pected to recover. The children who were
in the room when the accident occurred
were so scared that they were unable to

plausible one, -Er,

That the opera house was not filled with
people last night was probably due to the
fact that the Democrats had taken possess
sion of the town and the rest of our folks
were busy looking at them, But those who
did go found fun enough to make them for
get that a President had just been elected,
even though they doubtfully named the
man. "Pecks Bad Boy" is designed for
amusement only, and in that respect is a
success. The Bad Boy may be criticised
severely by those who have read the occa-
sional sketches published in nearly all the
papers ofthe country, but when he appears
on the stage the critic is almost certain to
forget his purpose and involuntarily split
his sides with laughter at the ludicrous
pranks played by the Boy and his Chum.
Whatever is Objectionable is INDUCED in
by Pa and Ma, for which the Boy should
certainly not be held responsible.

Harry r. Wilson as manager We have

John Meyer was robbed of about two
hundred and fifty dollars at Beach Haven
on last Friday evening. He placed two
valises, one of which contained the money
behind the bar of the hotel about half-past
six O'Clock, and went away, Upon his re-
turn in short time, the money was miss
ing. Suspicion fell upon three !ramps,
two men and woman. Two of them
were traced and were found upon canal
boat while at the Rupert lock, and were
arrested. They gave their names as Ed
ward Myers and Maggie Ward of Wilkes
Barre. On Monday they were brought be-
fore Jno, NJ. Clark ESQ, for Il hearing and
were discharged for want of sufficient evil
dence to be hold them.

Charles Yost was in the wagon when the
