rectors and served as time as Secre-
tary. During the last year he had also
been a member of the board, repre-
senting therein the Second ward of
the borough. In 1881 and again in
1884 Mr.. Sheip was an aspirant for
the County Superintendency, but was
not successful in this ambition though
he polled a considerable vote.
Mr.. Sheip was member of Doyles-
town Lodge, No. a45, F. and A. NJ,
In which organization he long officiated
as chaplain and among the member
ship of which he had warm and
enduring friendships.
Lately Mr.. Sheip had given much
thought and attention to the temporal
affairs of his church, and it is within
but very short time that he remark
ed that with the completion of the
new house of worship he would feel
that his life work had been accom-
plishcd. He was we'll satisfied with
the progress that had been made in
every way and looked forward with
pleasure to the complete fruition ol
his hopes and plans. In a night the
end came and the head of the Salem
congregation has gone onward to the
greater temple not made with hands,
eternal in the heavens. The shock
of his death is widely felt in the com.
munity, but it will also be generally
recognized that the servant was ready

resident of Bloomsbury, died at his
home on Railroad street, Saturday
morning at 10 o'clock, after short
illness. Mr.. Edwards was born in

his arrival in this country he came to

most respected citizens. He has
been the janitor at the Third Street

years, and was filling that position at

FITZSIMMONS-UORBETT.

On Wednesday March 18th inst,
one week from yesterday will take
place at Carson City, the big fight be-
tween two of the worlds greatest
pugilists, Robert Fitzsimmons, and
James J. Corbett, for a purse of $751;
900, and the championship Of the
world. There seems to be a great
diversity of opinion, as to who will
win. There has been a great deal of
talk on both sides for the last three
years, both claiming the champion
ship. They have been matched two
different times, but owing the inter-
ference of the authorities in the state
where the fight was to take place,
their managers have never been able
to bring them together, but they will
have clear sailing this time as far as
the law is concerned. To all those
who study the records of the fighters,
Fitzsimmons is very popular. Bob has
long string Of victories to his credit
to Offset his two defeats, one of which
(the Sharkey affair." was no defeat at
all, and the other Gin HalD is said
to have been lay down. Corbetls
record is not so good, possibly be-
cause he has not engaged in SO many
finish fights. When he fought with
Jackson in 81, which lasted or rounds,
1t was very evident to every one that
Jackson was decidedly the best man,
but Corbett had the referee on his
side, and this together with the tact
that Jackson was colored man the
fight was called draw.
Since they entered the ring Fitz-
simmons has won a7 fights while
Corbett has 9 to his credit We will
give the name of the winner in our
next issue.

BASE BALL NOTES.

Harry Griffith, manager of the
Milton baseball team, has signed the
following players for the coming
season: Catcher, Hutchinson, who
played first base for Milton last year !;
first base, Carpenter, OF Harrisburg /;
third base, Sweeney, who played last
year with York short stop, Butter,
who played that position for Hanover
last year left field, Trook, of last
years Milton team centre field, Huff
man, formerly with the Carlisle team,
Cumberland Valley league"
Milton always starts the season
with rush, but like Bloomsbury, the
enthusiasm soon dies out. Miltonlans
at the beginning of the season are
always boasting of the strength o
their club, but when they come oul
way they are forced to admit "tha
there are Others" Their team las
year was member of the Centra
Pennsylvania League, and when the.
arranged for game with our boys We
hardly expected to be in it, but afte
few innings, 1t was plain to be seel
that Bloomsbury was too fast for tn
leaguers and the result was never IL
doubt.

A Wreck,

A collision occurred on the Read
ing railroad near Danville, early We'd
nesday morning. Two engines were
drawing a train of loaded cars, when
another train dashed into it. One
engine was totally wrecked while
another rolled down over the bank,
and five cars were banged to splinters.
The fireman John Dolan, who resides
at Milton, was severely burned about
the face and arms, but he will sur
vive. The scene was one OF ruin.
1t is seldom that an accident of this
kind happens without some sacrlfice
of life. but this was indeed fortunate
occurrence.

Fire at Jonestown,
occurrence

On Thursday night of last week,
A. T. Chapin's barn and furniture
ware-room were destroyed by fire.
The barn and its contents, except live
stock was total loss, while the con-
tents of the ware room were all saved,
and by the heroic efforts of bucket
brigade small portion of the building
is still standing. If the entire build
ing had burned undoubtedly his resi-
dence and store would also have burn
ed. Mr.. Chapin's loss is about $1,000,
with no insurance. The fire was un'
doubtedly the work of an incendiary
The buildings will be rebuilt as soon
as possible.

East Third Street looks very well
since being cindered, and is great
deal better than before, but it didn't
need the work half as bad as some
parts of Fifth Street. In the kind of
weather we have been having for the
last two weeks it is next to impossible
to get along either with vehicle or
on foot. 1t wouldn't be bad idea
for the street commissioner to look up
the condition of some of the streets
and spread the work around little
! bit.
