DIR. T j. SWISHER.
DEAD.

Never has this word passed from lip
to lip in this community with such un-
iversal sorrow. Doctor Swisher the
friend of the friendless, the man of
strong frame and powerful intellect
who so recently still moved and direct
ed among us is no more.
He had been a sufferer from a
severe pain in the head for many years
which gradually grew worse, so much
so during the last few months that it
was necessary for him to stop riding to
visit his patients. On Wednesday and
Thursday he suffered very much from
his head and heart. Being a man
that complained but little no one knew
but himself what he did suffer Fri
day at I.3o a. m. of the same week he
was taken worse SO much so that he
never rallied but gradually failed un-
til Sunday morning March Ist. at S.
o'clock he passed away from all earthly
things to the world beyond.
Doctor Swisher was born in Jersey
town June, Iath 1896. Died March
Ist. 1891. From the above named
place he practiced medicine nearly a9
years: continuously excepting a few
weeks being unable to labor. He was
a man of extraordinary clear head his
opinion aud judgment was sought in
most of our transactions out side of
his medical skill and his purse was
never appealed to in vain for any
worthy object.
He was also a man of strong will
put his charity had no bounds, and he
cheerfully assisted those that honestly
differed with him. Ostentation was
unknown to his nature. Many could
testify with the writer to his kindly
attention towards relieving the suffer
ings of the poor. This being the class
that will miss his medical aid most as
it mattered not whether he received a
worthy recompense. He was always
cheerful, ready to aid them at all times
excuses being unknown to him. He
was in the strongest sense of the term
an upright man and loved his fellow
men. His sympathies were easily
touched and his charities were gener-
Gus in all enterprise that were in
tended to benefit the community in
which he dwelt he was foremost. Not
only will he be missed as kind hus-
band and an indulgent father but by
many who enjoyed the hospitality of
his cheerful home.

WALLER.

An application has been made for
new mail route between Unityvile and
Central, passing through the northern
part OF this township with a post Office
near the Pine Grove school house.
This would make direct route and it
seems to be approved by all as a much
needed line not only for its directness
but for the establishment of intermedi-
ate post Offices as well.
Sickness is prevailing to an alarming
degree in this section, but not many
dangerously i'll as yet. Great care
should be given to the laws of health
at this season and thus save doctor
bills.
There was great deal of hauling
done last week owing to the solid roads
but they. are again very bad.
Miss. Dillie, daughter of Samuel
Hartman died on Saturday March 7,
1891, at the age of rS years months
and days. The funeral which was
at this place on Monday was very larg-
ly attended. Rev. S. p. Boone preach
ed very able and appropriate sermon
from Rev. Ia chapter I3 verse. The
deceased was a member of the Meth
odist church and was always a regular
attendant, not only at church but at
Sunday school as we'll She had a
large circle of friends who sympathize
with the bereaved family in this their
time of deep sorrow and affliction.
These words of the poet seem so APP
proprlate we cannot forbear them:
"Tell my friends, who now are weeping,
Thinking that my life is done,
That in Christ I'm only sleeping,
And my life is just begun.
81, my prison have deserted,
Left this tenement of clay,
And my freedom have asserted,
To life in endless day.
"While you sing, l may not hear you,
Deaf to every earthly strain,
Yet if my spirit can be near you,
will join in the refrain"

The Hazleton Sentinel, of the 3rd
inst, devoted some space to discuss
ing the existence of an oil belt in Lu-
zerne County, and says that three en-
inent geologists say that if you were
to start on line beginning at Butler
County and run throug the counties of
Armstrong, Jefferson, Clearheld, Cen
tire, the lower corner of Union, the up
per of Snyder, Northumberland,
Schuylkill, Luzerne, Lackawanna and
Wayne you can find the peculiar geo
logical formation that reveals the pres
ence of oil. AT least dozen oil men
are now prospecting in the vicinity of
Scotch Valley, Columbia county, and
overtures are alleged to have been
made to several farmers for "privi-
leges," which means the right to bore
and the right to all minerals, oils or
gases discovered on their lands.
These are things which have never
been reserved by the corporations
owning land in the coal regions. They
always reserve the right to mine all
coal or other minerals found beneath
the property they conveyed in deed,
but oils and gases were not thought
of at that time.

THE LIGHT TURNED ON.

On Tuesday evening the machinery
of the Electric Light Works was
started, and the arc lights turned on.
The incandescept machinery was not
started. 1t was the intention to turn
on the light at 1890, but owing to the
fact that arrangements had not been
made with the insurance companies,
it was S:45 when the first lamp began
to emit light. The street was made
brilliant from the Normal School to
Scott town hill, and crowds Of people
were on the street to see the illumina-
ton. Arc lights have been put in by
following persons: l. w. MCKelvy, ].

The Park Sisters Instrumental Quar-
tette, of Boston. will give concert at
the Normal School on Friday evening
Of this week. They will be assisted by

never fail to please. They are all re-
cognized artists, and we predict for the
people of Bloomsbury and vicinity one
Of the most enjoyable evenings they

ing one of their concerts says: The
Park Sisters gave one Of their popular
concerts Monday evening, The en-
tire concert was received with rap
turous applause as they appeared in

THE LEGISLATURE.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
HARRISBURG, March 8, 1891.
EDITORS COLUMBIAN:
With your permission l will speak a
few words to my constituents, in re-
gard to the legislation taking place in
the Legislature. Very little Of general
character, has thus far been enacted
of interest to the general public, ex-
Cept the Mine Commission, the
Amended Brooks License, or rather
Corrected High License law, and a
few others. The bill forbidding the
sale Of liquor or giving it away, on
Memorial Day, failed in the House,
but / learn the Senate has a bill
likely to pass both houses, especially
so since the Altoona Encampment of
the G. A. r. have endorsed it. The
bill requiring school directors to be
sworn, after amendment, SO as not to
lose the State appropriation was
killed, but, has since been resurrected;
that part Of it relating to swearing
them. Appropriations to the amount
Of about eighteen million have been
asked for, and when it is remembered
that the revenues of the State are
only about eleven millions, it is
readily to be seen that somebody will
get left. Tinkering with the school
law seems in order. Bills not only
for the swearing of directors, but
calesthenics. state convention of direc-
tors, &C., &C., are numerous. The
tax laws as framed by the majority of
Commission, as reported from the
Committee of Ways and Means has
been put on the House Calendar, for
first reading 9th, and second nth inst,
and for third reading and final pas
sage, if it reaches that point, the week
after. The vote to give it especial
place on the calendar was emphatic.
The Road Commission Bill has been
been greatly amended and may pass
the House. OF the eighty to one hun
dred copies of the bill sent out by me,
not more than half a dozen have been
heard from. What the people want
they should ask for. Ballot reform is
progressing and will likely become a
law. A constitutional convention will
likely be called.
Attention by bill is called to oui
poor and poor house accommodations,
and may become law, but l think
not. | trust our people will look
more closely after legislation in the
near future than in the past. Corpo
rations have their reporters here look
ing after their interests and every bill
examined TO see if it affects them
Where are the peoplea What is mos'
needed is attention on the part Of those
desiring good government and whole
some laws. f. M. TEwKsBURY,

WLKEs-BARRE, March o.-Deputy
United States Marshal Barring was
seen to-day with reference to the
Sutherland-Donohue scandal in which
he is involved. He said the $4,000
assigned to him in the judgment note
was to be held by him merely in trust
for the defraying of the expense Of the
Investigation.
Detectives have been at work in the
case for many months, and when it
was placed in his hands he informed
Mr.. Donohue that the Government
had no funds to spend in making the
investigation and Mr.. Donohue and
his friends would have to meet them.
Some money was raised to pay the de-
tectves, and it is to refund this and
pay other costs that the $4,000 was to
be devoted.
He states, too, that large part of
Mr.. Sutherland's affidavit is false; that
no pressure was brought to bear on
Sutherland to induce him to settle.
On the contrary, from the moment Of
his arrest the latter implored the Off
GERS to keep the matter quiet, and off
cred to settle at any expense.
Mr.. Sears was sent for at his request
and merely helped in the arrangement
of terms with Mr.. Donohue.
The suggestion that the arrest of
Sutherland was for blackmailing pur-
poses is simply absurd. For years Mr..
Donohue has been prosecuted by
these circulars, and he has been for a
long time endeavoring to ascertain
their source. Having been put to
great expense, when the guilty party
was discovered, a civil suit was insti-
tuted, and this was settled for $Io,
From the character Of some of the
circulars sent OFT by Sutherland, the
only surprise is that Mr.. Donohue
should settle for so small sum. The
dispatches sent from Wilkesbarre are
intended to create sympathy for Suth-
erland, but from his own confession
he is entitled to none. AS to the
position of Rev. s. w. Sears in the
case, we confidently believe that when
all the facts become known, Mr.. Sears
action will be found to have been such
as merits no condemnation. His
character and reputation are such as
entitle him to full and fair hearing
before any of the allegations against
him are believed.
