Denial.

In a special from Nebraska City to THE
BEE some days ago, it was stated that S. II.
Calhoun, internal revenue collector for this
district, was fighting the nomination of j.
Sterling Morton for congress. In reply tc
this, Mr.. Calhoun forwards the following
letter:
In your issue OF the oath I notice a com.
munication from your Nebraska City cores
pendent stating that l had opposed Mr..
MOrton's candidacy for congress, and had dis.
charged clerks and employees who had re-
fused to aid in defeating him.
Whoever originated this statement is a liar.
l have done nothing to aid Mr.. Morton's can
vas, but l have done nothing to oppose it. 1
have let him and his canva entirely alone,
and no employe or clerk in my Office has
been discharged for any cause whatever for
more than six monthhs last past. Very re-
specially, S. H. CALHOUN.

seven San Francisco whaling vessels fast in
the ice, about lat. "A, north, long. ia, west,
near the place where the Jeanette was
broken up. The vessels are In an extremely
perilous situation, and the prospects for their
getting out are very poor. There are be
tween five and six hundred men on the tie-ur
vessels, and unless the ice breaks up soon
they will not be able to survive, as their pro
visions cannot hold out for a great length OF
time. Two steamships have been started to
their relief from Fox Island, loade with
supplies, and the result of this expedition is
awaited with great anxiety. The value OF
the seven vessels, including the seasons

The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1888-02-03

There was one young man who awoke
last Saturday morning with a throbbing
brow and a reproving conscience. He
came to town from up the river to attend
Gorton's minstrel show, but owing to the
fact that he devoted too much time to un-
packing glass before the performance be-
gan, he entered .he opera house with his
interior oyercrowded with the liquid that
inebriates. he became too talkatiYe and
somewhat boisterous, and after being noti-
fed several times by Policeman Knorr that
he must keep quiet and paying no atten-
ton to the gentlemanly admonition, he was
very properly and without any unnecessary
ceremony, bounced" from the hall He
thought he was having lots of fun, but
when he came to think of 1t next morning
when his hat was too small for his head,
we doubt very much whether he thought
1t was so very funny after all. The moral
is that the Bloomsbury Opera House is no
place for drunken men, and they may as
we'll take notice that if they come in and
do not behave themselves, they will be put
out.
