FIRE IN WILLIAMsP oRT.-Last
night, about 10 o'clock, the large
building just across the Conoco-
cheague creek from Williamsport,
was totally destroyed by fire. The
loss is about $4,000; no insurance.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
but is supposed to have been incendi-
airy. Miller Bros Sash Factory and
Cushwa and Sons large warehouse
on the opposite side of the creek
from the burning building, were in
great danger. All the canal boats
that were lying IN the basin nearby
had to be towed to a place of safety.
For some time past this building
has been made what might be termed
gambling hole" by a number of
worthless characters.
The mill has been idle since the
food of 1889, and has been threaten
ed by fire several times. Last sum-
mer Frank Shupp fell from the Sec
ond floor and broke his neck while
playing with several companions in

DEATH OF Mr.. S. G. CRAWFORD
Mr.. Samuel c. Crawford, for many
years connected with the Cumber-
land Valley railroad as a freight
conductor, and a popular and efficient
employe died at his home on South
Water street, in this city, on last
Thursday, after an illness from a
compilation of diseases, which lasted
about two months. He was taken
sick about ten weeks ago, but we
learn that he supposed it was a slight
cold, but in short time it developed
seriously, and he never rallied. Mr..
Crawford was a highly respected
citizen of this place, and was greatly
esteemed by all along the line of the
road for which he worked. He was
a member Of the First Methodist
Church of this city, and belonged to
the Masonic Fraternity and Odd
Fellows. Mr.. Crawf ord's age was a
little over 46 years. He married a
daughter of the late Henry Havey,
well known in this place, who with
out any children survives him. The
funeral services took place from the
First M. Z. Church on Saturday
afternoon, and the services were
conducted by the pastor Rev. D. II.
Shields. Interment in Green Hill
Cemetery.

Last June Dick Crawford brought
his twelye-months-old child, suffer-
ing from infantile diarrhea, to me.
1t had been weaned at four months
old and had always been sickly. I
gave it the usual treatment in such
cases, but without benefit. The child
kept growing thinner and thinner
until it weighed but little more than
when born, or perhaps ten pounds.
l then started the father to giving
Chamberlain Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhea Remedy. Before one bot
tie Of the 25 cent size had been used
marked improvement was seen and
its continued use cured the child.
Its weakness and puny constitution
disappeared and its father and my
self believe the child's life was saved
by this remedy. j. 7. MARROW, M.

New GEoGRAPHY.-The Martins

Heretofore Mitchell's geography had

an inferior book to Frye's. The

will not be required to drop them
and get the new book, but will use
the Mitchell book through their
course. All new biographies pur-
chased by pupils will, Of course, be
Fryes. Both the primary and com
pleted Biographies were adopted.
