SEEING THE WORLD,
N. E. Edwards. Formerly Of Bloomsbury, on
His Way to Quebec.

The following article describing the
experience of Merits f. Edwards, son
of Mrs. c. p. Sloan of Market street,
this town is taken from the Springfield
DAILY Republican.
M. f. Edwards, of Miami, Fla, at
one time chef on the Prince of
Wales yacht, has just been engaged
by N. d. Bill IN the capacity of chef
on his yacht Gloria, and is at the
Massasolt house awaiting the time for
Mr.. Bills trip to Canadian points.
Mr.. Edwards, for man of 28 years
old, has undoubtedly seen more of the
world as sailot and as chef in the
employ of the royalty and various
millionaires, than most any other man
of his years. He spent his early life
in the small towns of Pennsylvania,
where his father was a Methodist
minister. when r6 years of age he
went to sea on the ship Royal, travel
ing from Boston to Hong Kong and
Manila and return. He then started
from Boston bound for San Francisco,
but he was caught in hurricane off
Charleston light October 10, 1891,
and after being lashed in the rigging
of the ship for "a hours with others,
drifted to sea lashed to parts of the
boat, when they were picked up by
the liiesaving crew. He spent some
time sailing on another ship and then
took up the study of cooking, at which
he has become an expert. He has
seen service on numerous prominent
yachts, among them the "Nanan."
owned by Thompson & English of the
Philadelphia yacht club. He has had
also extended experience under the
eye OF the Prince of Wales, having
been on an extensive cruise IN his
private yacht. In one of his cruises
Mr.. Edwards visited the island made
famous by the story of "Robison
Cruse," and has seen the wild man in
every form OF garb in all the countries
of South America and the old world.
He has been on the yacht Helene, the
Viking, and also spent two months IN
service on the Sommers N. Smith, the
New York HeralHs dispatch boat
during the Spanish war. On that boat
he was thrown in constant contact
with several prominent writers. Mr..
Edwards left this boat, and after SER
vice with other prominent yachtmen,
spent the month OF April on the Gloria
while Mr.. Bill was recuiting in the
south. The boat took several inter-
esting trips and Mr.. Edwards's work
pleased Mr.. Bill so highly that he has
engaged him for some tine. Mr.. Bill
will leave this city tomorrow evening
for Quebec where he will join the
Amabelish club and spend some time
cruising In nearby rivers in canoes. q.

DEATH A MYSTERY.
WAS 1T MURDER, SUICIDE, OR AC.
OIDENTAL
W liam A. Campbell, Of Shickshinny, Found
Dead in His Store With a Bullet Hole
Through His Heart--The Unfortunate
Man Brother Of Our Townsman
c. n. Campbell.

William A. Campbell, a prominent
and extensively known hardware mer-
chant, of Shickshinny, Luzerne coun-
ty, was found dead in his store Mon
day morning. An examination re-.
vealed the fact that bullet penetrat.
ing the heart had caused his death.
On the floor, close beside the body,
lay revolver, with one exploded cart
ridge. 1t was first thought to be sui
eide, but after considerable delving
on the part of the dead mans rela-
tives and friends, they are inclined to
believe that it was case of accidental
shooting or murder. He very often
carried large sums of money on his
person, which practice has been the
subject of considerable comment.
The deceased was brother of our
townsman Charles H. Campbell, Ex-
Register and Recorder, and has a
legion of acquaintance throughout
Columbia county. He was promi-
nent Mason, ex-postmaster of Shick-
shlnny, and was twice elected and
served two terms as Superintendent
of Schools Of Luzerne county. He
leaves to mourn him a wife and six
children. Mr.. Campbell was little
past sixty years of age.
The funeral occurred yesterday af-
ternoon.

Held Up; Beaten and Robbed.

"Your money, demanded two
highwaymen of Horatio Seely of Mes
copeck, as he was on his way home
from Hazleton about seven o'clock on
Wednesday evening last. Mr.. Seeley
refused to comply with the request,
and he was Immediately pounced up
on by the thugs, and beaten into in
sensibllty, after which they went
through his pockets, securing nearly
$50 in cash. The noise of an ap-
preaching team down the road short
distance, frightened the robbers and
they left the scene making their es.
cape through field of corn.
The wagon which served to frighten
them off, was the delivery wagon of
Patterson's Nescopeck meat market.
Mr.. Seeley was picked up by the
driver and removed to his home at
Nescopeck, where medical aid was
hastily summoned. 1t was several
hours before consciousness was re-
gained. He was badly confused about
the head and upper part Of the body.
Mr.. Seeley and his father are the pro-
prietors of wholesale confectionery
store at Nescopeck, and his work as a
travelling salesman, calling on the diff
ferent store keepers in that vicinity,
necessitated his being on the road,
alone great deal. But this is the
first time he was ever stopped.

1t is very rare thing to find a

A friend OF ours, who has been
hesitating whether to keep matri-

he has at last bespoken for his wedding
suit. He evidently, on the whole,

On Monday our attention was
called to young couple who were
passing rapidly through town on their
way to get married. The indignant
old folks were full three hours behind.
So the adventurous young couple had
what might be considered "a fair start
IN the world.

TEE ELEVATOR WORKS.

A few weeks ago the stockholders
of the Bloomsburg Elevator Works
agreed to sell the machinery IN the
building to man named Hoffman,
for $4,000. 1t was currently report
ed that he was a practical elevator
builder, and it was expected by the
public that the works would start up
and furnish employment for many
mechanics. Now it appears that these
expectations were groundless, for the
machinery is being taken out of the
building, and shipped away. 1t is
rumored that the Elevator Trust has
how bought the machinery with the
intention Of dismanteline the plant,
as an elevator factory. The building
is leased by Hoffman for year.
The factory still contains the en-
gine, boilers, electrical applicancies,
line shafting, and everything else
excepting the special machinery.

HE HAS FAITH.

his profession that it was an accident
was accepted and no arrest was made.
1t is said that he shot a man at FL
Dorado canyon a dozen or more years
ago, and also has another killing to his
credit. He is dope fiend and the pen
at Yuma, where he can lead quiet,
uneventful life, is considered the prop
er place for him.
Leonard Hammond, whose strong i'm
pulses led him to examine the inside
of buildings after the owners had re-
tired for the night, and afterwards de-
veloped a Jail breaking tendency,
pleaded guilty to burglary in the sec

in Yuma to review his failings.

BAD MAN FROM MoHAvE.
Cleanup of the District Courts Last
Mill Run in I<ingman.

The Mohave district court has been
doing lively. and for the public at
large. a profitable business according
to the following from the Miner:
John Brown, convicted of the murder
CT L. o. Simmons in the second de-
gree. was sentenced to twenty years in
Yuma penitentiary. This will give him
plenty of time to get over the killing
habit which he has acquired during
his twenty years residence in Arizona
and California. Brown served a term
in San Quentin for perjury in an arson
case in San Bernardino county several
years ago. After leaving the pen he
tried his hand at robbery at Prescott
and secured so cents. The smallness
of his haul did not deter the trial judge
from giving him four years in Yuma.
He came to Mohave county three years
ago and seemed to have forgotten his
wicked ways, but in an alteration
with another bad gambling man at
White Hills in January, 1897 he killed
his man and escaped the consequences.
He shot a man named Mcdonald in the
leg at a grading camp four miles be

the street with their little S-year-old
daughter fashionably dressed and
wearing the latest society fad for chill

The agent called it cruelty to chill

DANGERS OF INFECTION.
Suggestion of a Liberal Policy Toward
the Sanitary Board.

The following criticism of the penny
wise and pound foolish policy toward
the Live Stock Sanitary board is made
by the WILCOX Range News
In view of the great Importance of
the cattle growing industry in Arizona
and the fact that the territory is ex-
posed to the danger of infection on two
sides, provision should be made for the
expense of a member or representative
of the Live Stock Sanitary board in at
tending meetings of the sanitary
boards of the various states, or other
conventions of a representative charac-
ter where measures affecting the live
stock industry are to be recommended.
Capable men who serve the territory
for ridiculously- small salary or a
Tneasly per diem cannot be expected to
take trips of two or three thousand
miles at their own expense in the inter-
est of the commonwealth. The labor
and responsibility devolving on the
members of the sanitary board, and
particularly the chairman and veterin-
airy, are out of all proportion to the
compensation allowed. 1t is safe to say
that to hold the position of chairman
of the board a man must not only give
Il large part of his time but also be out
from $500 to $1,000 each year for eX-
penses not provided for by the terri
tory. The situation is consequently
such that the safety of a great industry
depends on the generosity and financial
ability of the man who happens to
hold the Office of chairman of the sani-
tary board. Thus far we have been
fortunate in having had at critical
times a chairman and veterinary fully
equal to any emergency.
