FRATERNAL MEETING.

Nearly two thousand people filled
the Methodist Church on Sunday
evening. All the other Protestant
churches were closed, and the pastors
and congregations were invited to
mite with the Me,hodists in a frater-
nal meeting as a fitting close to their
week of dedication. On the platform
were seated with DIR. Conner, Rev. C..
H. Brandt of the Reformed Church,
Rev. d. N. Kirkby of the Episcopal
Church, Rev. NJ. E. McLinn of the
Lutheran Church and Rev. DIR. Hem
ingway of the Presbyterian Church,
BY all of whom brief addresses were
made, interspersed by prayer and sing
ing. Rev. Currin of the Evangelicals
was absent on account Of illness.
There is a most commendable spirit
of friendliness existing between the
members of the several churches, and
the general good Of the community
can best be promoted by Its encour
agement and perpetuation.

TOwANDA.

During recent visit to Towanda
we observed much activity in build
ing. The new Court House is nearly
completed, at cost of 100000. 1t
is a massive stone structure surmount-
ed by large dome, and is beautifully
finished inside. There are no vaults,
as the building is as nearly freproof
as it is possible to make it. 1t is a
much needed improvement, as the
old Court House was probably the
shabbiest one in any county of the
state as large as Bradford.
A beautiful new M. E. Church has
recently been completed, hne libra.
ry building for the town is being
erected, and the Roman Catholics
have $4,000 school building well
under way. A new stone business
block, large -four mill and number
of fine residences complete the list Of
recent improvements.
Towanda is a nice old town, the
place of our birth, and we are glad to
note these evidences Of prosperity.

BASE BALL NOTES.

Never in the history of the national
sport has there been a closer or more
exciting finish than that which the
Bostons and Baltimores are having at
the present. 1t has been continual
see-saw for the past two weeks, one
day Baltimore winning and assuming
the lead, while the next day they
would loose and give up first position
to the Beaneaters. One of the great
est surprises of the season was the
recent performance of the "hubltes"
when they took two out of three from
the "Orioles" on the latter's grounds,
a feat which has been an extreme
rarity during the last four seasons
By winning these two games Boston
has practically settled the pennant Of
81. While there is possible chance
for Baltimore to finish first, everything
is against them. There are only two
more games to play, and they vii
have to win them both, while Boston
will have to lose one.

DIED TOGETHER.

A. w. May, aged twenty-e;ght
years, a well.known blacksmith of
Shamokin, enticed Miss Cora Kase-
man, with whom he was desperately
in love, into his blacksmith shop Fri
day evening and ended his own and
the girls life with a revolver. Moth
ing was known of the tragedy until
Saturday morning when two employees
who went to work noticed blood
stains on the floor. They began to
investigate and upon going to the
second story discovered the bodies.
Mays body was lying against the
door when discovered, and the girls
body few feet away. 1t is SAID
Jealousy was the cause of the deed.
He is reported to have said that If he
could not have her nobody else
should.
Friday night Miss Kaseman retired
in good spirits and that is the last her
parents saw of her until Saturday
morning when her father was called
to the blacksmith shop to view the
body of his murdered child. 1t is be-
lieved that May sent a note to Cora
Friday evening, asking her to meet
him late that night. AT any rate she
arose some time that night, probably
about midnight, and took walk with
May.
Reaching the smithy it is thought
May, failing in his efforts to persuade
the girl to elope forced her to enter
the shop at the point of pistol
Gaining the loft May shot the girl in
the neck, severing the jugular vein
He then shot himself twice in the
head. Miss Kaseman was IS years o.
age.

Mrs. Mary Holmes, died after a
protracted illness at the home of her
son-in-law, Eli Weaver, on West street
at an early hour Sunday morning. She
had been living with daughter at

would improve her health. She had
an operation performed on her several
