THE HOUSE NUMBERING
ORDINANCE.

At meeting of the town council
held May 9TH, the following action
was taken, as appears by the minutes
"Messrs. McHale and Weissinger
appear and ask the privilege of num-
bering the houses and buildings of the
town of Bloomsburg with no expense
to the town, they to have sole right ol
supplying the numbers and placing in
dex boards at corners of streets. Re
quest granted"
AT the same meeting an ordinance
was passed regulating the numbering
of houses in which it is provided tina,
the secretary shall furnish any proper.
ty owner with the appropriate number
for his property, on application
This action was premature, for the
Council has no power to give to any
one the exclusive right to supply nun
bers. Owing to complaints that have
been made to members OF the council
President Harman has notified
McHale and Weissinger to proceed nc
further with the numbering. If the
houses are to be numbered let it be
done at home. Any Bloomsburg mar
can measure twenty feet as we'll a
anybody else, and our Bloomsbury
hardware men can supply the mum
bers, and any mechanic can put then
up. AS the matter stands the ordi
nance is not likely to be enforced a
present.

Mr.. Blaine,
SAID TO BE SERIOUSLY SICK-HIS NERVES
AND CONSTITUTION ovERSTRAINED
AND ILLNESS FOLLOWS.

The friends of Secretary Blaine in
Washington are very much alarmed
concerning his condition, and it is be
lieved both by them and friends Of the
Damrosch family that the Secretary is
a much sicker man than the state
ments Of his physicians would indicate.
When he was first taken i'll it was
rumored that he was stricken with YER
tigo, but Walter Damrosch promptly
supplied contradiction, stating that it
was simple attack of indigestion, as
serting that Mr.. Blaine was advanced
in years, having been 81 last January,
and that therefore slight indiscretion,
an ordinary cold or something of that
sort would quickly disturb or upse.
him. Later Mr.. Damrosch practically
admitted that the attack was not so
slight as he had at first thought or
stated and that Mr.. Blaine was con-
fined to his bed with the chances of
staying there an indefinite time al
though he "might be about any day."
A gentleman who is friend Of the
Damrosch family and Secretary Blaine,
said that the Secretary is very i'll
man and that 1t might be long time
before he recovered his vigor. He
has done good deal of work, and his
nerves and constitution have suffered
in consequence He added that it
was by no means certainty when Mr..
Blaine would go back to Washington,
for the reason that he was unable to
get out of bed. Even if he RECEIVERS
sufficiently to resume his duties he will
have to be very careful. sit grieves
me very much," said the gentleman,
"but l do not think exaggerate when
I say it is very probable that Mr..
Blaine will never recover his strength
entirely"

EDITOR COLUMBIAN
Dear Sir: l would like to have
permission to publish a few lines in
your worthy columns. In order to
correct an error that has been circula-
ted in and throughout this neighbor-
hood, l publish the following letter:
SHERIFF's OFFICE, LUzERNE Co.
WILKES BARRE, PA. May Iath, 1891.
Mr.. Knouse, Dear Sir: l think
you have been misinformed as to your
name being down as a witness; as l
cannot find anything Of it on record
here. I think it is your brother in
stead Of you.
Yours Respectfully,
X. p. ROBINSON
Now the above letter ought to be
satisfactory proof to show that l was
not implicated in any way, shape or
form in the Ellis Young arrest. l
have been censured for being impli-
Gated in the matter; bat defy any
person or persons in either Luzerne
or Columbia Counties to make affidavit
to my being IN any way, shape Or form
whatever implicated in the Young
matter. There has been word circula-
ted that l had been with Lutz to
Wilkes Barre, in the matter of Ellis
Young, and any one that says so is a
branded falsiher as had never spok-
en- to Lutz or any one else in regard
to the arrest. If people would take
the time to read our county papers
they would be able to know who the
prosecutors were. Now this statement
with the above Sheriff's letter ought to
be sufficient evidence to convince any
rational being of my innocence of the
matter, and if the above isn't satisfac-
tory, they can call for No. ?.
Respectfully, &c,
ALEXANDER KNoUsE.

Willing to Met SIaYin for the Highest

NEW YORK, June 19.-John L. Sullivan
has telegraphed from San Jose his willing

Jere Dunn, referee in the Slavn- Klrain

ing the fight to Slavin, SAYS that the bets that
the contest would not last ten rounds won,

than nine rounds had been contested. Dunn
says that Time-keeper Daily made an un-
fortunate mistake, by not calling out the
seconds that elapsed while Kilrain was
down. He then states that he considers him.
self equally at fault IN not keeping his
eyes toward the center of the ring, in order
to see for himself how quickly Kilrain got
up. He explains the fact that his back was
toward Kirain by saying that he felt it his
duty on account of SlaVin's m thOd of
lighting to watch the Australian to prevent
him from fouing. Dunn states that Slavin

CITY OF MEXICO. June 18.-There has
been a general shaking up in the Cabinet of

removed. The new Cabinet is now as fol-
lows: Minister of Foreign Relations and
Public Works. De Leon; Treasurer, Aguiar;
