The Steamer Didn't Go.

On Tuesday morning at about six
o'clock the Friendship steamer was
hauled down to the station with the
intention Of taking it to Danville to
take part in the parade. For some
reason this was abandoned, and the
steamer was returned to its quarters in
the Town Hall.
Under no circumstances except a
call from another town in case of fire,
ought the steamer to be taken away
from home. 1t was purchased for fire
protection and not for parade, and it
is especially needed here on the 4th
of July when the danger of fire is
greater than on any other day in the
year. A standing order should be
issued by the Town Council that the
steamer cannot be taken out of town
except as above stated.

Rev D. E. Rupley's Change.

Rev. D. E. Rupley, of the Lutheran
church, has been unanimously elected
pastor of St. Johns Lutheran church,
Lock Haven, where he will assume
charge August 1. Rev. Rupley has
been pastor of the church here during
the last three years, and the announce
ment that he had accepted call from
Lock Haven came in the nature of a
big surprise. Mr. Rupley is highly
esteemed by all classes here even out
side the membership of his church,
and his leaving is much regretted. He
is an earnest, faithful worker in his
church and his pastorate here has been
very successful-Moutgomery Mirror.
Rev. Rupley was formerly pastor OF
the Lutheran church at Espy.

TIE FOURTH IN BLOOMSBURY.

The national holiday passed off
very quietly in Bloomsburg. The
town was entirely deserted. A great
many took in the celebration at Dan
vile, while number went to Benton
to witness the demonstration at that
place. All the business places, with
the exception of the drug stores, were
closed all day. The only accident
which occurred here as a result of
fireworks and powder explosions, be-
fel Elmer A. Mihem, a member of
the Bloomsbury Band. The Band
was marching down Main street to the
D. L. & w. depot, and just in front
Of Housed & Sons fruit store, Mil.
helm stepped by a huge cannon
cracker, which exploded, te lring the
flesh off the calf of his leg and other
wise mutilating it. He was picked
up in an unconscious condition and
conveyed to his home in a carriage.
1t appears that when the band first
made its appearance on the street,
Irwin Housel, in order to liven things
up little, and give the boys a sort
Of salute, lighted the cracker and
threw it out in the street, in plenty
time for it to explode before the Band
reached the store. The fuse, to all
appearances, was damp, and after
waiting several seconds, Mr.. Housed
concluded that it had gone out. 1t
was left lying unmolested until the
Band appeared, and when Milheim
was in the act Of stepping over it,it
exploded with the above result.

Off For Camp.

A large crowd OF people gathered on
Main street early Monday morning to
witness the departure for camp of the
Boys Brigade of the Young Mems
Christian Association. 1t required
three big wagons to carry the equip
page and provisions. The boys were
all under heavy marching orders, and
as the column proceeded up Main
street, it presented quite a soldierly
appearance. The eyes of the many
spectators followed the youngsters un-
til they passed from view around the
turn in the Light Street road, and the
notes of the flies died away in the dis
tance. The location of the encamp-
ment is near Forks. Following is the
personnel of the company: Ralph Smith
captain; F. N. Turner, commander;
William Ritter, colonel; c. d. Lynn,

number of the immediate relatives.
The wedding march Lohengrin was
beautifully rendered on the piano by
Miss Carrie Pensyl of Elysburg. Little
Miss Rebecca Mutchler of Trenton,
N. J.. acted as maid of honor, while
Master Stanley Johnson Of Luzerne
was best man.
The decorations were both artistic
and elaborate and added greatly to
the occasion. The young people are
we'll known and highly respected. Mrs.

Columbia county, but was compelled
to abandon her chosen calling IN or,
der to take care of an invalid and
helpless mother. Since The expiration

Shocking Suicide.

We take the following account of
the self destruction of Edward Boyer,
Jr., from the Danville Mevs. He was
related in Boomsburg, being broth
er-in-law of Miss Sarah Harp, Mr.. and
Mrs. William Feiser and Mr.. and Mrs
Howard R. Jones:
"Valley township, Montour county,
was the scene of shocking suicide
early Monday morning, Edward Boyer
Jr., being the victim. The scene of
the tragedy was piece of woodland
near the home of the deceased, which
is situated at the foot of d large hill ON
the road leading from Beyer's distillery
to Washingtonville. The place will be
easily located in the mind by those
who are accustomed to drive in that
direction, when it is stated that the
premises contain well-kept fish. pond.
The owner was person of consider
able thrift and ingenuity. He was the
inventor of an ice-box for wagons,
which to some extent are in use by
butchers and milk-men. A year or so
ago his house burned down. The loss
fell upon him rather heavily and he
became respondent.
Monday morning before breakfast
he shouldered his gun and went into
the woods. saying that he was going to
hunt squirrels. Not returning, his wife
partook of the morning meal alone.
AS time wore on and he did not re-
turn she became very apprehensive
and started out In search OF him. Be-
tore proceeding far she came across
his body lying at the foot of tree. 1t
was a clear case of suicide. The un-
happy man had removed his shoe and
stocking from his right foot; then load
ing his gun had placed the muzzle in
his mouth, pulling the trigger with his
toe. He accomplished his object well.
His brains were blown out, death of
course being instantaneous"

arrayed in holy state, and decorated
with various kinds of flowers. When
the bridal party entered the edihce
and proceeded up the isle to the
strains of Lohengrin's wedding march,

McLinn. Miss Mary Moore, of
