Before coming to Bloomsbury, he was
superintendent of the Onondago In

ceptlonal man in many respects, and
was said to be especially quick and
accurate in diagnosis He established
the Sanitarum and his patients came
from nearly every state in the union.
Or. Turner was 81 years old. He
died in Philadelphia, where he had re-
sided since last fall. The cause of
his death was paralysis, the last stroke
being the third. He had made ar
rangements to move to Bloomsburg to
spend the balance Of his days, and had
rented DR.. Schuyler's house, and
would have taken possession on May
end, but the final call came before he
could carry out his plans. DIR. Turn.
er moved from Bloomsburg nearly
nine years ago, to New York. For a
number Of years he conducted the
Sanitarium successfully, and acquired a
wide reputation as specialist in cpl
leptlc cases. In the practice of medi-
cine and real estate deals he accumu
lated a considerable fortune. His
first wife died before he left Blooms
burg. His second wife survives him.
He was an ardent and active member
of the Presbyterian Church, and many
warm friends mourn his loss.

COURT GASES.
SURETY OF THE PEACE.

The case of the Commonwealth
against Mrs. White was before the
court on Tuesday morning. Mrs.
Ditchey was the prosecutor and both
parties live down near Centralia. Mrs.
Ditchey testified that Mrs White called
her vile names, and threatened to
whip her little boy, and to strike her
with shovel, and that she was afraid
of her. Mrs. White swore that the
alteration arose from the fact that
Mrs. Ditchy filled up the gutter in
front of the formers house so that the
water ran over the walk. The court
said that the case was of so trivial a
character that it ought not to have
come to court Each party was sem
fenced to pay half the costs, and enter
into recognizance to keep the peace
for one year. Each woman had a
small babe in her arms, and the moth
er of Mrs. Ditchey was called as a wit
ness. At one point all three of the
women talked at the same time, and
caused some amusement.

Last Saturday night the new drug
store Of w. S. Rishton Phi. G., was
opened to the public. 1t is beauti,
full store and attracted much attention.
The wood work is all of antique oak,
and the floor is tiled. The soda foun-
tain is one of the latest and best pat
terms. At the rear of the store is a
partition made of jewelled panels.
Behind this is the prescription depart
ment which is complete in every res
pect. The judgment Of the public is
that Mr.. Rishton has exercised excel
lent taste in all the appointments Of
his store. He Is graduate of the
Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, and
fully competent to compound pres,
criptions. His stock is all new and
fresh, and embraces everything to be
found in first class drug store. An
arc light brilliantly illuminates the
room.

ployed as clerk.

IHE COLUMBIAN made no mistake
last week in its announcements of the
funeral of DIR. Turner and the meeting
of the Bible class at the Lutheran
Church. Both notices were printed by
request, and the mistake, if any, was
somebody's else. After the paper was
printed the arrangements for the fun.
eral were changed, and in consequence
thereof the Bible class was changed
back to the Presbyterian church.
