An Indignation Meeting.

The Ministerial Association of Sun
bury and Northumberland held a pub
lie meeting in the court house, Satur-
day evening at eight o'clock. The
meeting was called for the purpose OF
protesting against the verdict OF the
coroner's jury, which held an inquest
over the body of w. E. Wallace, who
was found dead on the night of Oct
ober goth. The ministers do not ap-
prove of the verdict and threaten to
prosecute the saloon keepers who sold
the young man Intoxicating liquors.
The verdict was "That w. E. Wallace
came to his death from valvular heart
disease caused by over stimulation,
and the jury further find that there il
no person or persons responsible OF
blamable either directly or indirectly
The ministers take the stand that the
saloon keepers who sold drink to th'
deceased were at least indirectly blam
able, as he was a minor.

THE SILK MILL.

In the report of the last town council
proceedings there appeared refer
ence to discussion that took place
when the Silk Mill and several other
factories asked for water plug to be
placed in their vicinity. 1t was stated
that the Silk Mil had agreed to put
in a water plug at its own expense in
consideration Of its exemption from
town tax, and that it had not com
piled with this agreement. We are
informed that no such an agreement
was ever made in the case of the Silk
Mill, and therefore it has violated no
agreement. Every little while stress
is put upon the fact that this factory
paws no town tax, and that it is there
fore entitled to no consideration. What
have the Silk Mill people done for the
town. Let us see. They have erect
ed splendid plant, the construction
of which cost many thousands of dol
lars. This money was spent right
here, among the artisans and material
men. The principal owners pay taxes
amounting annually to about five
hundred dollars, including town taxes
on their individual properties. During
the hard times they have kept run
Ming, sometimes at loss, and have
paid out many thousands of dollars
in wages. Their pay roll now amounts
to sixty thousand dollars year. Its
bonds are considered one of the best
investments in this community, be-
cause it is safely and carefully man.
aged. Its loss by fire would be one
OF the greatest disasters that could
befall the town. In the face of these
facts the Silk Mill is certainly entitled
10 some consideration, and when it
and several other important industries
ask for so small thing rs fire plug
they ought not to be treated as though
they are begging for favors. 1t is to
the interest of the town to prevent
these factories from being burned,
and the plugs asked for ought to be
granted. The town is a thousand
times better off with these institutions,
even though they have been exempt
ed from town taxes for term of years,
than it would be without them though
it received annually the amount o.
their taxes.
Again, it should not be forgotten
that exemption from town taxes for {
time, was one of the inducements tha
led the Silk Mill to locate here. They
pay all other taxes except the town.
Many other towns are offering simi
lar and greater inducements to ge
new industries to locate with them
and Bloomsburg, now that she ha
succeeded in getting what so man,
other places would be only too gla(
to secure, can afford to be as liberia
minded as any other town in the state

Company Store Law Violated.

An important suit was tried be-
fore Squire Brogan, at Beaver
Meadow. The Lehigh Valley Coal
Company was the defendant and
John d. Cannon, Patrick Dough-
erty, James Boyle, Andrew H. Hig-
gins, William Dynon and Patrick
Heron were the prosecutors. The
men had incurred debt in the gen.
eral store of Dougherty & Co., at
Yorktown, and the Lehigh Valley
Company, for whom the men
worked, retained the wages of the
complainants as payment for the
bills contracted. The men did not
object to the liquidation of the debt
by easy insta!lments, but they did
object to their entire wages being
kept from them. The defendants
failed to appear and Squire gave
Judgment in favor of the plaintiffs.

OATAWIsSA'S STEEL VIADUOTS.
Important Improvements Completed by the
Reading Company.

The work of replacing the high
wooden trestles on the Catawlssa
Division of the Reading Railway with
substantial steel viaducts has been
completed, and much of the heavy
through freight business now passing
over the Shamokin division will be
diverted to the Catawissa, insurlng a
material saving in the cost of trans
portation. The distance over both
divisions is about the same from West
Milton, but the grades on the Cata-
wissa division are much easier, enab-
ling the company to haul longer and
heavier trans. With the substitution
of the steel viaducts the company vii
also be enabled to run its heavy
freight engines over the road. The
double tracking of the road tion
Tamaqua to Reynolds has also beer
completed, adding to the facilities TO
handling the increased business tha
will come over the Catawissa.

a New Scheme.

Two men travel together, one
has kodak or something resemb-
ling it. One of them goes to farm
house and tells the family that he
is getting up a history of that sec
tion to publish in leading paper,
and wants to make picture of the
family and the buildings, telling
the farmer it will not cost cent.
The family group themselves out
in front and the operator is quite a
while in getting a satisfactory pic
ture. At last it is done and he
takes his leave telling them about
what time they can expect to see
the paper with it in. During this
time his confederate has looted the
house, taking money, jewelry and
watches. In one instance the ko-
dak was a cigar box covered with
leather. .-PhiLApS6ng ./oHrnaI

Turkeys have been plentiful on the
streets for the past few days, and have
been selling at ten to twelve cents a
pound. Purchasers will do well to
see that the scales used in weighing
the birds are accurate. One hucksler
on Tuesday used spring scale that
made his turkeys weigh about two
pounds more than actual weights, and
his customers got on to it and made

State scored three minutes before

There seems to be mistaken idea
about the manner in which the letter
carriers for the delivery system IN
Bloomsburg will be appointed. The
appointments are not given to the
persons receiving the highest averages
at the examinations. 1t is the custom
where there is only one person to be
selected to send three names to the
commission and the appointment Is
thus made from the three. But as
it will require four, three carriers ana
one clerk in Bloomsbury, there will be
twelve names submitted, and the per
sons who are considered the most
capable will receive the appointments
on course their examination averages
will have to be sufficiently high to
make them eligible.

OTHER GAMES.

OIHEK GAMES.
Twenty-Five thousand people saw
University Of Pennsylvania defeat
Harvard by the score of IS to e at
Franklin Field Phlla. Saturday after
noon. This virtually gives the College
championship to Pennsylvania, as she
has but one more game to play with
Cornell to-day, but the result is not
at all in doubt. Pennsylvania won
because she had the best drilled team.
She scored two touchdowns, goal
from a touch down and goal from
the field making total of fifteen
points.
Harvard should not have scored,
though Parker's run of half the length
of the field was a brilliant effort, as
Minds should have stopped him be-
fore he had gone fifteen yards. This
score of Harvard's must therefore be
viewed IN the light of huke. Penn
sylvania, on the other hand, should
have almost doubled her score. A
goal from the field by Morice SO mar
rowly missed counting that the Off
cials must have measured it with thelr
eyes by fraction of an inch. Then,
too, Pennsylvania once lost the bal
on Harvard's three-yard line and once
on the fve-yard line, and in botf
cases over confidence no doubt cost
them touchdowns.

orators meeting last night the miners
ultimatum to return to work at the 60
cent rate pending arbitration was re-
jected. The operators VII, now carry
out the plan adopted at the Cleveland
conference and viii open their mines at
once. II the old men win not accept
their terms, new ones win be imported.
The camp of the striking miners,
which has been maintained for the past
four weeks at Sandy Creek I'm order to
keep the miners from returning TO work
in that pit. has been broken up and the
20 men sent to their homes. This ac-
tion was taken by the miners officials
because the mine there is tightly clos
ed, and the strikers are fully IN SYM
pathy with the movement for higher
wages.
The campers at Turtle Creek are
very much elated over q rumor anoat
among the strikers that T. b. De Ar
mitt, superintendent of the Oakhill
mines. went TO some Of the italian
strikers and offered TO pay them half
of the money Toy forfeited and 6l
cents a ton for digging coal IL they
would return TO work This. the strik-
ers say. Is an evidence of weakness on
the part of the officials OF the company
who they claim are apparently anxious
to have the strike settled now at any

the report.
