journey.

The late Rev. J. D. Rockwell of
Coles Creek was such quiet, unas-
suming man, that one would hardly
believe that when he entered the Epis-
copal ministry he gave up a position
worth over two thousand dollars
year, IN New York City, and yet such
was the case. He belonged to an in
fuential family and could have retain
cd position with large salary, but for
his conscientious devotion to the idea
that it was his duty to enter the min
istry. For a time he served under
the direction of Rev. Stephen Tying,
in New York, and afterwards went to
Coles Creek through the influence Of
Rev. T, F. Caskey, then of William
sport, who secured the appointment
from Bishop Howe. 1t has seemed
strange to many that man reared in
large city, with influential friends,
should be content to remain so long
in little parish like St. Gabriel's and
yet Mr.. Rockwell was content because
he believed the Lord had called him
there.
But very few people are aware OF
the fact that Mr.. Rockwell gave to
charity one tenth of all the money he
received. No matter what his own
necessities were, he gave away tithe
of ali his income. AS this was not
large, it shows what a self sacrificing
spirit he possessed.
The rector of St. Gabriel's and his
wife lie buried just at the chancel END
of the church. An iron fence to sur
round the lot had been procured by
Mr.. Rockwell, only the week before
he died. This will no doubt be Sc
up, but there is no monument a
the grave and no tablet in the
church to perpetuate the memory oI
this good man who for twenty years
ministercd to the people of Sugarloa
township. 1t would be a fitting thing
if some one would start a fund t(
erect a tomb stone at this grave.

The Neal Property.

The Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation has secured a months option
on the William Neal property, on
Market square. There is a mortgage
of $4,000 on the place, and if within
the month subscriptions amounting to
$4,000 can be secured, the Y. M. G.
A. will take it, the price being $1,000.
The mortgage can remain for the
present. The property belongs to
James Boyd, Of Harrisburg, and the
estate of Montgomery Boyd, of Dan
vile.
The price is very low for such a
property, and if it can be secured, il
will make very comfortable quarter:
for the Y. M. c. A. For the present
it would be used as it is, with very
slight changes.
1t was rumored last Saturday thai
H. E. Heacock had purchased this
property for 5000 but this arrange
ment, whatever it was, did not reach
consummation.

Caught in the Act.

Wallace Dice was arralgned before
Squire Jacoby last Friday, on a
charge preferred by Abe Ships,
brakeman on the d. L. & w. Rail
road. 1t appears that Dice had
broken the seal on freight car, and
robbed the same of some merchan-
disc, consisting of some canned corn,
olives, and other articles. When
taken before the Justice the offender
admitted his guilt, and was held in the
sum of $500 bail, but being unable
to secure the same, he was taken to
jail to await the September term of
Court. The culprit was discovered
by the brakeman just as he was leav-
ing the Car, and in order to make his
escape threw away the stolen mer-
chandise, with lot of other stuff
that he had on his person. Among
the articles discarded by him, and
which were afterward picked up by
Brakeman Ships, was memoran-
dunn book, containing a lot of bills
and receipts, and bearing the name Of
one Mr.. Thomas, of Duryea.
Squire Jacoby Immediately wrote a
letter 10 the supposed owner of the
book, and on Mondly morning re-
ceived a postal from Mr.. Thomas,
stating that the book had been stolen
from him last Thursday morning
Word was also received from the au
thorities up the river to hold the pris
oner, which gives rise to the belle
that he is wanted on a more seriou.

Unprecedented mortality. De ath in
its relentless march, has claimed many

arrest its progress.

to chronicle the intelligence of the

known residents in the person OF
William Win,ersteen, which occurred
at the home of his son Charles B.
Wintersteen on Fifth street, Tuesday
morning. He arose early Tuesday
morning in his usual good health, and
after partaking of breakfast stepped
outside into the yard, where he was
suddenly overcome with a severe
stroke of appoplexy and died before
assistance reached him.
MIR. Wintersteen, was engaged as
farmer in Montour Twp. until 1895
when his health became impaired, ant
he gave up farming and he and hi
wife came to Bloomsbury. He was il
the seventy-sixth year of his age, ant

whom the bride had been residing for
several years past, on Main street, at
1880 o'clock Wednesday. The we'd
ding party entered the parlor to a
beautiful march, rendered by Miss
Ruth McLinn, and took their places
before the clergyman, Rev. M. Z. Nc

CoLLEY--RUNYoN
On Wednesday morning the 9th
inst, Miss Maude, only daughter of
MIR. and Mrs. Layton Runyon, was
married at her home on Market ST.,
to Mr.. Frank Colley. The ceremony
was performed at ten o'clock, by Rev.
DR.. Hen ngway, IN the presence of
about fifty relatives and intimate
friends. The bride and bridegroom
entered the parlor unattended. She
was attred in white. After the cere-
mony, refreshments were served, and
at 1880 Mr.. and Mrs. Coley took the
Reading train for Philadelphia, and
from there will go to Ocean Grove.
The bride was the recipient of mapy
beautiful presents. She is popular
among a large circle of friends, and is
active in all social functions, and
warmly interested in the work of the
Presbyterian church, of which she is
the accomplished organist. Her will
ingness at all times to help other
churches and organizations by hel
splendid talents as pianist, has made
her deservedly popular with very many
outside of her own church circle. She
and her husband enter upon their trip
across the matrimonial sea with the
best wishes of hosts Of friends. In al
the journey of life may they never
again have as much trouble as they
experienced from the showers of rice
and other tribulations that beset then
