THE POsTMAsTERsHIP.

The present struggle for the post
mastership of Bloomsburg is becoming
very interesting and is creating con-
siderable anxiety. A few weeks ago
there were at least six prominent re-
publicans all aspiring to the lucrative
position, but one by one they have
dropped from the race until now
there are but two left namely J. c.
Brown and o. B. Mellick.
1t was not known that Mr.. Brown
was an applicant until Thursday when
1t was learned by way of special
sent from Washington to the Phila-
delphia Record, that he in company
with H. A. McKillip and c. E.
Geyer, of Catawissa had been in that
city the day before seeking an inter-
view with Congressman Kulp in refer
ence to securing the postoffice for
Mr.. Brown.
Since the above has became known
it has been learned that Mr.. Brown
had been promised either the Revenue
Collectorship or the postoffice, and
as the former Office has been filled,
he is going to take what remains. 1t
is generally believed that Mellick will
be the man if Kulp's influence can do
the work, but of course, Just what the
farmer will be able to accomplish will
be determined later.

Mai. HarrisOn's Shower Baths for
DRINKS Now in Good shape.
The three story brick residence building
on the southwest corner Of st. Julian and
Abercorn streets has been secured by Mai.
Russell B. Harrison. provost marshal, as
an emergency hospital for the provost
guard
This building win be fitted out as a hos
pital within few days. Supplies and hos
pital materials are being placed there now,
and It will be in readiness within a day
or two It viii have several army sur
geons hospital stewards and a sufficient
number of male and female hospital
nurses for all requirements. This emer-
gency hospital will be used as hospital
for the Fourth Illinois Regiment, which
Is on provost duty, and also for all emer-
gency cases among soldiers who may nap
pen 10 be in the city. There are often ac-
cidents at some distance from the camps
and in cases where prompt attention Is
needed the patients are taken at once to
this emergency hospital. Two amoulances
will be kept in readiness at all times.
Maj. Harrison has completed his TWO
shower baths at provost headquarters III
The yard back of the armory hail, and is
now ready for all payday DRINKS. one
discharged soldier was arrested yesterday
in that stage of intoxication where the
world seems too small for him. He was
finally made to fit the dimensions OF the
shower bath. and he came out better
man. Until he got these shower baths in
shape Mai. Harrison used a wash trough,
which he had put in at the barracks, ana
the ugly DRINKS were soused In tub OF
cold water Now they WAL be taken to the
showers at headquarters, and the chances
are that as soon as payday comes along
there will be more patients than the two
showers can accommodate.
The provost guard is now established in
good shape. Maj Harrison has warned
several proprietors of bar rooms not TO
furnish any drinks to the guards on duty,
and in some cases has threatened to put
a guard at their places and keep soldiers
out in case they did so.
At the request of Maj. Harrison, Mr..
JOS NJ Dreyer looked up the law yester-
day with regard to the acceptance by
pawnbrokers of any articles of govern
ment property from soldiers as pledges.
The law is quite strict in this subject,
and provides not only that the pawnbrokeT
or anybody else knowingly accepting such
property shall forfeit 1t, but shall be sub
iect to Imprisonment from one to five
years in the discretion of the court. The
soldier so pledging government property
is liable to court martial under the Goth
article of war.

DID NOT ELECT OFFICERS.
Park and Tree Commission Election
Postponed Until Meeting To-day.

Park and Tree Commission Election
Postponed Until Meeting To-day.
The outlook for the winter work of the
Park and Tree Commissions was discuss
ed at meeting in the commissions office
at the city exchange yesterday afternoon.
Besides Acting Chairman Daffin, there
were present Commissioners Ellis. Mercer
Maclean and Theus.
The work was gone over without taxi
ing up any other matters. 1t was thought
the commission would formally organize
by electing a permanent chairman and
secretary. which have been vacant for the
past few months. These matters were
deferred to a meeting that VIII be held
this afternoon, when regular officers will
probably be elected.
The future of the Park and Tree Com
mission will be fun of work. The soldiers
have established provost camps in several
of the squares, and for this reason there
will be considerable work to do in get
ting them in as good condition as before
the camps were placed on them. Then
there is also much work ahead In repl1nt-
ing trees that were torn down by storms.
Acting Chairman Daffin has already COM
menced the replanting and in many places
where only stumps were left, hard wood
trees have been set out in the places of
those DESTROYED.

WAITING on SUPREME COURT.
Referees in Bankruptcy Here Heard
Nothing About Rules Yet,

Referees in bankruptcy under the act
passed last summer by Congress to regu-
late the bankruptcy laws of the country
and put them under federal jurisdiction.
have heard nothing as yet from the su-
preme Court relative to it's PRONUNCIATION
of the rules and forms that are to govern
proceedings in their courts
Adjudicating cases is impractIcable un-
der the circumstances in many sections Of
the country, there being nothing by which
to go in preparing papers and conducting
the work. In this district Judge Speer
has allowed the rules and forms that gov
ern his court TO be followed, but there
has been little done, the lawyers and pros
pective bankrupts seeming to fear that
something might turn up to render any
thing that might be done null and void.
They have been waiting on the Supreme
Court. That body, however. is moving
with its usual elaboration, and the laws
OF bankruptcy, state and national are
hanging fire.
on Nov state bankrupt laws were an
nulled by the provisions of the act. This
was also the date until which no man
could be forced into bankruptcy. The
thing was entirely voluntary up to that
time, but now a mans creditors can force
him into bankruptcy.

WATER MAINS TO CAMPS.
Separate Pipes TO BE Run TO officers
Quarters.


Superintendent H. NJ. Lotion of the
water works, has nearly completed the
laying of pipe for the camps. In fact,
for the camps proper, the work is finished.
There yet remain a few connections to be
made as matters of mere convenience,
though everything necessary has been
done to supply the companies with water.
1t is the intention of Mr.. Lotion to run
pipes back of the rows Of officers tents
in each regiment in order to give them
a separate supply of water. This will be
a great convenience for the officers or
deriies, as they will not have to bring
water from the company faucets at the
further end of the company streets. The
hospitals, or some of them, are also yet
TO be supplied.
Supt. Lotion will begin to-day to lay
mains to the camp site of the four bat
teries of heavy artillery that are coming
from Maine. Ii is understood that these
commands viii be encamped near the old
rife range, on the right hand side of the
car track on the way to Thunderbolt.

polite letter he thanks the aldermen for

that business matters prevent his accept

Judging from previous difficulties Coun>

previously approached on the subject say
the end OF the term is TOO near at hand

part of the responsibility of the years

way they are in the same fix. I see signs

no grass. We have given the commission
$4,000 with which to do its work, and

menting in shrubbery and more attention

pose is to call the commissions attention

given more attention"

commission is planting bear grass around

remark ELECTED a goOd-natured laugh.
