Storm King Sweeps the West.
Hundreds Perishins Of Cold and Hunger In
the City Of Chicago.

The widespread suffering of the un-
employed people in. the great west
and northwest has been greatly inten-
si6ed by the terrific blizzard and icv
temperature which prevails in that
section. The situation in Chicago
has become SO serious that the Mayor
has been compelled to issue procla-
nation for bread with which to feed
the starving hundreds, and he has
requested that all the churches In
that city be thrown open in order to
give temporary shelter to the cold and
hungry.
The situation is the same in many
other large cities throughout the west
and the great blocking of traffic by
the heavy SHOWS will render the con-
dition of many thousands almost un-
endurable.

ELEIGHERS BADLY HURT.

About 10 o'clock Monday evening
a shedding party of 40 persons from
Tyrone drove into quarry at Penn
berton, six miles below that place.
The sled, horses and pleasure
seekers were preclpitated 50 feet to
the bottom of precipice where they
lay in great mass.
twenty-five persons were badly in.
jured and some fatally.
AS soon as the news reached
Tyrone a special train was fitted out
by the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, and all the doctors in the town
were conveyed to the scene of the
catastrophe. :
The party was mostly made up of
young people. Boys and girls with
arms and legs broken and with blood
streaming from their wounds lay in
great drifts of snow, slowly perishing
from the intense cold. The mercury
stood at 8 degrees below zero, adding
to the horror of the catastrophe.
Latest report says that none are dead,
though about 20 are injured.

The entertainment at the Opera
House Tuesday night for the benefit
of the Lutheran Church, was a great
financial success, the house was
crowded to the doors, not seat be-
ing vacant. The program started
with few selections by the phono-
graph, which were we'll rendered, but
the main feature was the animotis-
cope. Life size views of different
objects were given, some of which
were very exciting, the most wonder
full of the lot however was repre-
sentation of the celebrated Black
Diamond Express of the Lehigh
Valley Railroad, which flew across the
stage at terrible rate. Prof. Howe
was compelled to repeat this picture.
The scene of Manhattan Beach after
storm was also worthy of special
mention. Everyone who attended
was highly pleased, and considering
the high order of the entertainment,
the admission fee of IS and IS cents
was very small. The animotiscope is
beyond doubt the greatest invention
Of the age.

RANKS HIGH AS A COMPOSER.

Chas. J. MacHenry, son of John J.
of Benton, has long been known by
his friends here as fine musician.
He has been residing in Richmond,
Va. for some years past, and the fol-
lowing clipped from the Richmond
Dispatch Of the 10Th inst. shows what
he is doing down there. That says
Mr.. Charles J. MacHenry, the COM
poser of a large number of popular
and successful pieces for the piano,
has received very flattering offer
from the firm of Messrs. Hoock &
Co., of Memphis, Tenn, for the pur-
chase Of one of his latest efforts.
This piece is a march, which was
composed by Mr.. MacHenry in COM
petition for prize Of $1oo offered by
the above firm for the best march, to
be known as the "Prize Centennial
March" and distributed at the forth
coming Nashville Centennial. Two
hundred and eighty-eight manuscripts
were submitted from all parts of the
country, and after much deliberation
this number was sifted down to seven
teen. Mr.. MacHenrys march was
among this number, and he has re-
ceived an offer from the firm of a
good, ound sum for his march, which
he has accepted.
Mr.. MacHenry is a very popular
young musician. He is employed at
the music store of Messrs. Manly B.
Ramos & Co., and his future as a
composer seems to be particularly
bright.

BLOOMSBURY PA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 2s, 1897
/" MARCY"

There have been numerous enter
tainments, musical and dramatic,
given in this town by home talent in
the past, in which the participants
have acquitted themselves well, but
few have been more enjoyable than
that presented at the Opera House
last Thursday night. The program
consisted of drama, entitled
Marcy" interspersed with music.
The cast Of characters was as follows
Jack Henderson, w. II. Magill.
Jethro Baxter, +. II. Wilson.
Philander Potts, A. W. Duy.
Wally Henderson, Eugene Carpenter.
Jake Baxter, Deforrest Hummer.
Harry Woodthorp, S. II. Harman.
Edith Henderson, Miss Vida MILLER.
Emma Watson, Miss Lila Sloan.
Mrs. Henderson, Miss Maud Runyon.
Marcy Miss Katharine Gardner.
Marcy" the untutored country
girl, and afterwards the refined and
educated lady, was played by Miss
Gardner like professional actor.
Her manner was natural, and her
conception Of the part was excellent.
F. H. Wilson as Jethro Baxter,
Marcy's father, portrayed the old New
England farmer to perfection. His
makeup was good, and his manner
SO comical that the audience laughed
every time he appeared.
A. w. Duy as Philander Potts, the
school teacher and inventor in hard
luck, always in love and always ready
for square meal, was another Of the
leading characters, and filled his role
in most amusing way. His flights of
oratory were usually cut short by an
invitation to eat something.
Jack Henderson, the wealthy and
cultured city gentleman who falls in
love with the simple country girl, and
is disowned by his family for marrying
her, was well rendered by w. H.
Magill. He soon tires of her ignor-
ance and she overhearing a conversa-
tion in which he expresses his discon-
tent, determines to- leave him and 90
to school. The parting scene was
very pathetic.
All the others were equally as good
in their parts, though less prominent
in the play.
Mrs. Elmer Melick sang beautiful
solo entitled " Without Thee" with
orchestral accompaniment arranged by
Chas. P. Elwell. The audience de-
manded repetition, which was given.
The orchestra under the direction
of Chas. P. Rbwell, never played
better, and the music was greatly
enjoyed.
The net proceeds Of the entertain
ment were about eighty dollars.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1897-01-28

The congregation of St. Paul's
church had the privilege last Sunday
of listening to solos by Mrs. Elmer E.
Melick, both morning and evening, at
the offertory. The morning selection
was Hymn 4I3, "The God oflove my
shepherd is" with music by Gounod.
At the evening service the selection
was "Abide with me-" by Barnby,
with soprano solo by Mrs. Melick,
baritone solo by Deforest Hummer,
and quartette by Mrs. Melick, Miss
Ware, Messrs. Hummer and Elwell.
Mrs. Melick sang very sweetly and
with much expression, in her usual
charming way, and Mr.. Hummer &C
Quilted himself very creditably.

PHILADELPHIA FIRE SWEPT.
The Most Disastrous Fire In the History Of
the City Occurred Tuesday Morning.

A great fire started at 6.4o O'Clock
Tuesday morning from an overheatet
oven in the basement of the six story
iron building, 1900 to 1917 Marke,
Street, and destroyed or gutted sixty
buildings and consumed property
valued at million and halt of dollars.
Many small store keepers lost all
they had, and several thousand people
are thrown out of employment. The
fire was the worst that Philadelphia
has experienced in a generation. The
scene ofthe great destruction is located
in the heart of the city.
Directly opposite to where the fire
ragged the hercest, is located the
famous general store of John Wana-
maker, and though on fire several
times and while the frontage on
Market Street was badly damaged,
the store was saved from destruction.
There were number of minor
casualties among the fireman, yet no
one was seriously hurt, but one death
resulted. John A. Felt, book keeper
for a firm in the vicinity of the great
fire, dropped dead from heart disease,
caused by the great excitement.
1t was fearful morning to fight
fire. The thermometer hovered near
zero, and the water froze to ice the
moment it struck the pavement. The
flames gained steadily on the men
and every engine in the city was out,
on the scene.
The smaller stores along Thirteenth
Street to Silver Street were Destroy
ed, but the greatest losses are as fol-
lows:
Hirscn & Brother, umbrellas Hans
com Brothers, grocers, and A. w.
bennett, restaurant building total
loss. Loss on building and contents,
100000. The loss to the three
tenants and on the building is fully
covered by insurance. No. 1919
Market street, occupied by Blum
Brothers, cloak manufacturers, loss on
building and contents, $2so,ooo 1;
fully covered by insurance. The Dun
lap building, 1906 to 1910 Filbert
street, owned by John Wanama!ser.
Loss on building by numerous tenants,
the principal losers among whom are
the Dunlap printing company, whose
loss is covered by insurance of $685.
900; the Wilbur printing company,
loss covered by insurance of $40, 900;
the Collins carriage company, loss
$4,000, fully covered by insurance.
John Wanamaker's store, Thirteenth
and Market streets, loss 100000 /;
mostly by water; covered by private
insurance. The Joseph Harrison, Jr.,
estate owns Nos. 1901, 1903, 1905,
1907 and 1926 Market street; the
rear of Nos. 1927 and 1890 Market
street the rear of Nos. IS and a7
North Juniper street, and Nos. 6, 8,
10, I2, ID, I6, IS and 20 North Thir-
teenth street. Most of these were
small buildings and were badly gutted
but the loss on them was pretty com
pletely covered by insurance. These
buildings were occupied mostly by
small tenants in a small line of bust
ness and most of them carried lines
of insurance nearly sufficient to cover
their losses.
The losses were distributed among
so many that only an approximate
idea of the total loss could be gather
ed, but the greater part is covered by
insurance. The total loss will proba-
bly, not exceed $I,ooo,ooo.

If dogs become such a nuisance
about your premises at night, and
after several warnings to the owner,
you resolve to shoot him, try and kill
the animal outright and relieve its
suffering instead of merely hitting the
dog SO that it takes several days for
death to relieve it, as was the case
with the one shot on the Light Street
road the other night.

Charles and George, two young
sons of w. B. Taylor were found in
their beds in an unconscious condi-
tion early on Friday morning, caused
by the inhalation of gas from stove,
from which the pipe had come apart.
Had they been left 60 little longer,
they would very probably have been
too far gone to be restored, but as it
was, the discovery was made just in
the nick of time.

The Wllliamsport basket ball team
went down before the superior play
ing of the Normal School five in
Normal Gymnasium last night by the
score of a3 TO 8. The visitors played
a fairly good game, but Capt. Worth

score tells the rest. Williamsport has
been playing all winter but this is the
first defeat they have sustained since
their visit here one year ago.

REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES.
W. .. HOLMES RENOMINATED FOR
PRESIDENT.

In response to call the Bloomsbury
Republicans met in the Town Hall
on Saturday night, and named a ticke,
for the election to be held in February.
]. G. Brown was made chairman,
and w. E. Rlnker and Ed. Ent secre.
taries. The chairman said that every
person who voted for Mckinley would
have the right to vote at the caucus.
Nominations for President of
Council were open aid made as fol.
lows: W. o. Holmes, +. A. Rawlings,
.. w. Cherrington and DR.. G.. w.
Mif1ln.
Theodore Garrison, f. H. Harrar
and William Shut were appointed
Tellers, and the vote was taken by
passing the hat around The result
of the vote was Holmes 73 Rawlings
10; Cherrington 20; Mifflin 2. Holmes
was declared the nominee.
Nominations for Members of
Council were now in order, but it was
announced that but three would be
placed on the ticket. Five were
named and it resulted thus: w. d.
Brobst, 90; E. A. Rawlings, So; w.
U. Jury, Ga; ]. Lee Harman, II; F.
J. Richards, 10. This count made
Messrs. Rawlings, Harman and Rich.
ards the nominees, they having re-
celved the largest number of votes.
The Chairman then gave out that
the caucus was now ready for the
nomination of a man for School Di.
rector, and w. E. Rinker was named.
but just as this was announced. J. d.
Shaffer, called out, that in behalf of
the morals of the public school. and
on his own responsibility, he would
nominate Mrs. M. E. Walker. This
seemed to stir up things for a few
moments and made things quite lively.
The caucus seemed to pay no atten-
ton to Mr.. Shaffer's little speech, but
he said he was Republican and
tax payer, and wanted his choice
voted for. After considerable sharp
talk, quiet was restored and a vote
taken which made Mr.. Rinker an
easy winner, but two voting against
him.
l.. d. Kase and Thomas Webb
were named for Tax Collector. The
vote was taken. Mr.. Webb received
