In his letter he explained how the ac-
cident to his arm happened. He was
guiding sled, loaded with wood down
a hill, when it met an unexpected OBJ

known in the Klondike as the gee
stick came around with a rush and
struck his arm, breaking 1t and knock

ception of his broken arm he has not had
an ache or pain since he became a pros

Surprise Party to Jacob Welliver.

The residence of Jacob Welliver in
Benton township was the scene of
merry gathering on Saturday last,
when his children, grand children and
great grand children to the number Of
seventy-fve, rendered him delightful
surprise party in honor of his eighty
seventh birth day. 1t was the leading
social event in that township for some
time past, and one that will always
find place in the memory Of those
who participated. Amusements of
various kinds were INDUCED in, remi-
nlscences of happy days gone by were
spoken of, diversions for the future
discussed, and a general good time
had by all. At the noon hour the
happy party proceeded to the dining
room, where they were confronted by
a table filled with all the delicacies of
the season. 1t was a sumptuous
spread. There was copious supply
of everything, and for two hours the
guests feasted and made merry. The
afternoon was very pleasantly spent,
and when the time arrived to depart,
all voted the occasion the best of the
season.
Mr.. Welliver is one of the pioneer
residents Of this county, and held in
high esteem by all who know him. In
politics he is staunch democrat, and
should his life be spared will help to
swell Columbia Countys majority for
the Democratic National Ticket in
1900.
Those present from this immediate
vicinity were Mrs. J. d. Jones and
Mrs. H. c. Jones of Bloomsburg, and
Mrs. Wesley Flemming and daughter
OF Rupert. The latter remained and
will spend couple weeks at the
Welllver home.

Injured While Allghting From Train.

John Fry and Will Grey, aged about
eighteen and fifteen years respective
ly, residents of the southeastern part
of town, boarded a southbound train
on the d. l.. & w. Railroad, to ride
to Catawlssa. Grey decided to stop
off at Rupert, and when that station
was reached did so, Fry remaining on
the train. The train had gained a
pretty high momentum when nearing
Catawissa, and when at the point
where the young man wanted to get
off, the speed was greatly accelerated
by reason of the descent in the grade.
He left himself down very cautiously,
but when his feet struck the ground,
he was thrown down with great force,
alighting upon his head and shoulders.
He was picked up unconscious and
borne to his fathers home on Eighth
street. He has remained in coma
tose state ever since. His condition
is critical.
