The body Of William Brewer. a

William Drum and Jacob Stiner.
After viewing the body the inques,

Esquire Jacobys office, where after
hearing the testimony of several wit.

much whskey.
The evidence showed that on Satur
day afternoon Brewer was drinking
with three white boys They raised
sixty cents among them ard Brewer
came in town and bought a quart of
whskey. AT about four o'clock they
went to the Irondale furnace, and
there took turns drinking out of the
bottle, Brewer taking considerable
more than his share. He soon showed
signs of intoxication, and said he
would lie down and take nap. The
other boys found board and an old
sack and he lay down on it, and they
left him there. He was singing 81

Oentralia in Danger.

A telegram from Centra!ia on Mon
day announces that large cracks have
again made their appearance on the
main street at Centralia and the
buildings in the vicinity have sunk
several inches. The Episcopal church
has been badly damaged and is doomed
to destruction.
The people are vacating their homes
to night and the greatest excitement
prevails. The cracking is caused by
the old working of the Centralia Col,
liery. The timbers have become rot
ten and as they fall they carry the sur
face with them.

The press of Bloomsburg has done
as much for the good of the commun-

other agency. 1t favors the enforce
ment of all laws that are made for the
suppression of crime, and for the wei,
fare of the people, and it is ready to
join hands with any organization tina,
will start a movement for the enforce.
ment of laws that will be of some ben
eft to the people, whether those laws
apply to week days or Sundays. In
such matters however the press does
not ''straln at gnat and swallow a

The contract for printing the bal
lots for the election next month has
been awarded to THE COLUMBIAN by
the county commissioners, and the
work is now going on. The change
in the law makes a great difference in
the number of ballots necessary. Last
year it required nearly 10000 inclu,
ding both official and specimen, and
it took over ton of paper. This
year there will be but I6, 400 ballots
printed, requiring only about one
fourth as much paper.
