THE LANTERN PARADE.

Last Tuesday evening the streets
were crowded with people, not only
from this place but from all the sur
rounding country as well, to witness
the second annual lantern parade of
the Bloomsburg wheelmen. Promptly
on time, the procession led by the
band started, and they marched over
the following route; Up Market to
Main, down Main to West, out West
to Fourth, out Fourth to Market,
down Market to Fifth, out Fifth to
East, up East to Main, down Main to
the fountain, around the fountain and
up Main to the Town Hall. While
the parade was not as large as last
year, yet the decorations were fine
and showed great skill on the part of
the people who prepared them. As
the procession passed the fountain it
was reviewed by DR.. J. P. Welsh,
James {. Brown and George S. ROB-
bins, who had been selected as judges
to decide the disposition of the prizes,
and they awarded them as follows:
The first prize, which consisted of
gold watch was awarded to ID. f.
Hughes and f. S. Nagle, who had
-four bicycles bound together and over
which was constructed a trolley car.
1t was a unique affair and showed
great skill on the part of the designers.
The second prize which consisted of
a fine mantle clock, which had been
contributed by Hess Bros, was won
by James Dennis, who in a very able
manner rope en,cd his Satanic Ma
jesty. The .Aird prize which consisted
of gold mounted pump, presented
by West and Holgate, was won by
w. S. Rishton, who had his wheel
decorated in an original manner to
represent a "Gold Bug" The fourth
which was search light lantern, pre-
sented by Mr.. Smith, manufacturer of
the "Stormer' bicycle, was easily won
by Master Fred, son of H. D. Edgar.
There were numerous other wheels
which were finely decorated, among
which might be mentioned that of Mr..
Karl Writ, which was adorned with
sixty-four lanterns, and he would un-
doubtedly have captured one of the
prizes had they not caught fire on
Fourth street, between West and
Market. The citizens of the town
entered into the spirit of the occasion
and many of them decorated their
homes and places of business. The
decorations at the Exchange Hotel
were unusually fine. AS it was, every
one had jovial time, and it was pro-
nounced a success.

THE PONY OUTFIT GIVEN AWAY

Last Thursday evening a large
crowd congregated in front of the
Clothing Store Of J. M. Gliding &
20. to ascertain who had been the
lucky person who held the winning
ticket which entitled them to the pony
and cart. Last March they announc-
ed that with every dollars worth of
goods purchased they would present
the purchaser with ticket emitting
to chance on the outfit, and the
drawing would take place on that
evening, by little girl blind folded
who would draw from the large sealed
box twenty one tickets and the twen-
ty first number would be the lucky
one.
Promptly at the appointed time the
bright eyed little daughter of w. l..
Demaree, the lumber merchant, was
lifted into the large show window
which contained the locked chest,
which was opened by w. O. Holmes,
and IN the presence of the judges,
A. Fl. Bloom, w. O. Holmes, J. C..
Rutter of the DAILY, w.. Eyerly of
the COLUMBIAN, and an immense
crowd of on lockers, the drawing
commenced. While the numbers
were being drawn one could have
heard pin drop, so interested was
everyone. The numbers were passed
to each of the judges who deposited
them in hat and then came the
twenty-first draw which was 1910,
and the one to whom belongs the
entire outfit consisting of pony, cart,
harness and belongings up to going
to press it was not claimed, but no
doubt the owner will turn up as soon
as they read of t in the papers.
Everything was conducted in fair
and impartial manner throughout and
Gidding & Co., deserve the credit of
having had one of the best advertise
ments that has ever been in this town.
The holder upon bringing the lucky
number, 1910, to their store can
drive away with the pony outfit,

DEATH OF HIRAM W. THORNTON.

Information was received here last
Monday morning that Hiram w.
Thornton known to many of readers
died at the Montour House, Danville,
last Sunday evening about eight
o'clock, after an illness of two weeks.
He was born IN Bloomsburg, a son of
the late James Thornton, and resided
here until he went to Danville where
he was the manager in the Baldy Dry
Goods store for many years or until
the firm broke up. Mr.. Thornton then
went west and finally came back to
Danville about a year ago and has
been holding the position of clerk in
the Montour House.
The deceased was aged about sixty
six years, a brother of James Thorn
ton of this town and of William and
Thomas, and father of Frank all de-
ceased.

Leg Broken.

William Lora, of the firm of Lora
& Baker, bottlers, is laid up with a
broken leg. He was returning from
delivering a load of bottled stuff at
Shutdown, accompanied by Jacob
Fisher. AS they drove up the hill
this side of Morris hotel Mr.. Lora
gave the horse cut with the whip,
and the animal plungipg suddenly
forward tipped the seat backwards,
throwing both Lora and Fisher out OF
the wagon, and then ran away. Mr..
Fisher was cut about the legs and had
an arm bruised, but not seriously,
while Lora had evidently been struck
by or caught his leg in the wheel, as
it was badly splintered between the
knee and ankle, being fractured in
two places. The horse was caught at
Casper Howers, but Mr.. Morris sent
the injured man home with his hotel
team. DIR. B. F. Sharpless was called
in and redu ced the fractures, and says
that William has two months jot
on his ds.-NezOS Item.

Owing to several inquiries and a
general misunderstanding among
many people as to the builder of the
Trolley Car which won first prize in
the bicycle lantern parade last Tues
day evening, we would say that Daniel
E. Hughes of Espy, is entitled to the
distinction of having built the outfit.
The manner in which it was gotten
up, and the fact that it weighed less
than $50 pounds, reflects very much
upon the mechanical ability of Mr..
Hughes. The decorations, etc, were
performed by F. S. Nagle, w. H..
Bittenbender, WiAam Greenwalt. 1t
might also be stated that work on the
car was not commenced until II
o'clock on Monday morning, and at
6 o'clock Tuesday evening it was on
its road to Bloomsburg.
