Fire in China.

Trouble never comes singly, it is
said, and accordingly China is being
plagued in various ways. A late dis
patch from Shanghai is to the effect
that the city of Shun King, in the
province of See Chuen, has been visi-
ted by an immense fire in which 1900
buildings were destroyed and over 100
lives lost in consequence, most promi-
nent among the number being the wife
of the Governor of the province, who
died from fright. Besides the Cover
nors house which was burned, there
were several temples destroyed by the
ravages of the fire. The loss is esti-
mated at 10000, 900 taels.

BRUTAL MURDER AT L0oKHAvgN.
4 Peacemaker Stabbed 10 Death In a Pool
Room.

Lock Haven is all wrought up over
a brutal murder that occurred there
on Wednesday afternoon. The MUIR
der was committed in the opera house
pool room about half past five O'Clock,
and the victim was William Recder,
OF Lock Haven, who stepped in to act
as peacemaker during a quarrel be-
tween A. Winchester, of Wayne Sta.
tion, and Joseph Moore, Of Lock Hs-
ven. Winchester did the stabbing.
When Reeder stepped in between
Winchester and Moore, who were
quarreling, to endeavor to pacify them,
Winchester became so enraged at
what he considered interference that
he at once whipped out aa ugly look
ing dagger and savagely attacked the
peacemaker. He cut Reeder in sew.
EN- different places about the head, the
fatal wound, however, being inflicted
IN the throat. Reeder, with his throat
cut and the blood squirting from it in
a perfect stream, at once dropped to
the floor, ard when the excited Spec
tators reached his side his form was
limp and lifeless. Death had been in
stantaneous.
Not satisfied with his bloody work,
Winchester then turned upon Moore,
stabbing him in the side, back and
arms, and the second victim of the
murderer's knife fell to the floor in
an unconscious condition. Intense
excitement ensued, and as the scene
OF the murder is in the most prominent
business portion of the town, large
crowd gathered in and about the pool
room in an incredibly short space of
time. The murderer was arrested
shortly afterward and locked I'D.
Moores condition is very serious. -
Milton Record.
The above sad case is only one of
number occurring daily. And,
though it is not so stated, the chances
are that the murderer was drunk.

NORMAL SCHOOL NOTES.

The Normal School is now in it,
third week Of the new school year, ant
everything about the place from jani
tor to Principal is on the 90. Every
body is busy. The school has at least
twenty. per cent. more students
than ever before at the opening of the
year. There are one hundred fifty
two seniors. The Junior class counts
above one hundred twenty. The en-.
tire enrolment has drawn very close
the four hundred mark. And they are
not all in yet. At least ten or fifteen
more are expected within the next
month.
THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT.
The Music Department is by no
means a new feature in the school,,
and yet certain phases of its present
organization are new.
Instruction is given now on piano,
organ and violin, and, by action by
the Board of Trustees, diplomas will
be granted those who satisfactorily
complete the prescribed course.
There are more students now actually
enrolled in the various music depart
ments than the combined number of
any two years prior to 'o3.
The teachers of this department
Miss Rosa M. Haas, and Miss Ella
M. Stump, are both kept very busy,
and it is not too much to say that
another year will compel the engage
ment % of additional help il this depart
Thus is our school growing. Every
mail brings inquiry for catalogue or
circulars. The large edition of %
catalogues is already entirely exhaust.
ed, and steps are already taken to
issue second edition.
All this speaks volumes for the
Normal. 1t means Principal who
knows how to feel the public pulse
and how to manage great school.
1t means faculty devoted to hard
work and the sincere interests of the
school. 1t means Board of Trustees
ever ready and willing to do all in
their power to promote the schools
welfare. 1t means an Alumni loyal
and true to their school, ever holding
before the people of their respective
communities the merits of our Normal.
Almost every room in all the build
ings is occupied. What will they do
when the spring term comesp Well,
we won't anticipate, but measures are
pending which by next March will
accommodate goodly number more.
Let the work 60 on. Let us as
citizens stand as firm to our school, as
we do to our prosperous industrial
plants. She gives us much reputation
abroad; she stands for the right and
the truth, and is indeed, no small
factor in maintaining the moral
integrity of Our beautiful and growing
town. Whatever contributes to the
success of the Normal School con-
tributes likewise to our towns prosper
ity.

A Market House Needed.

When we see the farmers and curb.
stone market.men standing out with
their produce exposed to the rain, we
are led to wonder why it is that a
thrifty place like Bloomsburg has not
yet erected a market-house where
stands could be rented and the market
men and their produce be sheltered
to the advantage of all concerned.
If rain sets in many market-men drive
home, of course, rather than take the
drenching. This is greatly TO the dis
advantage of both the country pro-
ducer and the town consumer. Ifrain
prevails or threatens on market-day,
the consumer like the producer pre-
fers to deal only so far as it can be
done under shelter.
For the mutual advantage of pro-
ducers and consumers we can but
think cleanly kept market.house a
great desideratum, aside from the
profitable investment of the requisite
money to build it. By reserving and
preserving the curbstone market
privileges around and about the mar
ket-house healthy competition may
be depended upon in fair weather
whatever combinations may be
made by inside stand renters dur
ing storm OF unfavorable weather.
Sooner or later, no doubt, the mar
ket-men now exposing themselves and
their produce upon the pavements iu
the heart of the town, will be given
opportunity to sell out under cover at
reasonable expenditure for STALL
rent.

THE COMING Snow.
The Saratoga Daily Eagle says c

The Saratoga Daily Eagle says of
1t:
"The Walter l.. Main Big Shows
exhibited here yesterday afternoon
and evening. The Main Show is the
grandest exhibition that has ever been
in Saratoga in former years, and its
mammoth tents were packed. The
Riding Lion, the Baby Monkey and
the Baby Lions which were born on
the shows arrival here this morning.
The cute, baby monkey, whose mother
clings to it as a mother would cling to
her child, attracted the most attention,
even more than the double. horned
Rhinoceros. In the three rings of the
circus there was something going on
all the time, and it was a clean show
from start to finish"

Muncy Bankers Convicted,

DE La Green, the crooked cashier
OF the Muncy bank, was convicted on
three counts of the indictment. The
case was tried in the United States
Circuit Court at Williamsport. The
following are the cutting words of the
District Attorney:
There never was bank wrecker
brought into the federal courts who
had not borne good reputation I'D
to the time he was found out. The
bank wrecker is always either the
President of a Young Mems Christian
ASSOCIATION or teacher in Sunday
school he passes the plate, sits in the
front pew and always says "amen :"
louder than any other man in the con-
gregation. No man except one who
bears good reputation could place
himself In position to enable him to
rob bank. Does the jury think that
a man could be connected with a
bank twenty five years and not know
whether accounts were over drawn
A great deal Of stress has been laid
upon the fact that Mr.. Green helped
the bank out in their work because
they had no cashier. Iregard that as
one of the strongest points in the gov
ernment's case. Why was not cashier
electedr z Because De La Green and
John M. Bowman were in collusion
and did not want cashier for fear he
might discover something wrong. We
are not here to defend John M. Bow
man or his family we will try Bow
man later. The government believes
that John M. Bowman is guilty of
sending in false reports to the treas
ury and that De La Green aided and
abetted and was in collusion with him.
If De La Green was not cashier of
that bank, then the bank notes signed
with his name are forged and counter
felt"
President Bowman was also con-
victed of falsifying accounts, after
twenty-one minutes deliberation on
ihe part of the jury. The crooked
accounts introduced and the expla ma
ton by the District Attorney did the
business Of convicting the old and
white-haired president of the bank.
He is said to have taken the stand
for examination trembling under the
weight Of his sixty-five years and his
own consciousness Of having been de.
tected at last. In closing his case his
counsel said the jury might consider
MIR. Bowman a very negligent bank
President, if not fool, for placing
his trust in the scheming cashier, but
he denied that they could brand him
as criminal. He plead earnestly that
conviction would be equivalent to
death and that if the doors of peni-
tentiary closed upon him he would
not survive the blow. A large number
of witnesses, the most prominent citi-
zens of the county, testified to Mr..
Bowman's reputation for honesty and
integrity. The indictment under
which Mr.. Bowman was convicted
contains six courts, charging the falsi-
fication of the statements and reports
for the purpose of deceiving the Comp
troller of the Currency. Immediately
after the verdict had been rendered
Mr.. Parsons fled motion for new
trial and gave his reasons therefore.
Messrs. Mccormick and Reardon,
counsel for the convicted ex. cashier,
De La Green, filed motion moving
for a new trial in his case, setting
forth dozen reasons on which they
based their request. Judge Burlington
reserved his ruling in both cases.
