IN NEW HANDS.
The Electric Light and The Gas Plant Un.
der New Management.

A few weeks ago charters we're
granted at Harrisburg to the Ameri-
can Electric Light Company, of
Bloomsburg, Pa, and to the Ameri-
can Gas Light Company. These
companies have purchased all the
stock of the Bloomsburg Gas Com
pany, and the Bloomsburg Electric
Light & Power Company, and on
September Ist consolidated the two
under one management. The new
company is controlled by capitalists
of Scranton and Wilkes Barre. w.
d. Boyer is President, and J. B. Rus
sell, Secretary.
+. +. McCabe has been made gen
eral manager, and A. w. Duy, cashier
of the consolidated companies. These
gentlemen have had charge of the
Electric Light Works for several
years, and by their efficiency in the
performance Of their duties, and their
uniform courtesy to patrons, have
demonstrated their fitness for their
respective positions. w. V. Robbins,
who has been Superintendent of the
Gas Company for many years, will
remain in charge at the gas house.
He, too, has been a faithful and pop
ular employee.
The Bloomsburg Gas Company was
organized in 1873, with capital stock
OF $4,000. For many years the
late Col. Samuel Knorr was its Presi-
dent. 1t has been a dividend paying
corporation almost from the start. Ow.
ing to the fact that the plant is becom-
ing loo small for the town, and that il
is becoming somewhat dilapidated, the
stockholders fearing that within few
years an assessment would be made
on their stock to rebuild and enlarge
the plant, consented unanimously, as
we are informed, to sell their stock
at par to the new corporation.
The Electric Light Company has
been in operation since 1891. Ii
was first built by contract for local
company, but as it did not come up
to the contract requirements it was
rejected by the company and left on
the hands of the contractors, who
have since operated it.
1t is rumored that the Gas Work.
will be thoroughly repaired, and &
different kind of gas suitable for fue
will be manufactured. The napths
gas now made smokes too much tol
cooking purposes, and at times smells
to much for any purpose.
What the outcome of this consoll
dation will be remains for the future
to disclose. Of course the prime OBJ
ject of the investors in the project i
TO make money. Whether this will b.
done by giving good service and thu
increasing the business OF the plants
or by bonding the plants, selling
the bonds, and then let the bond
holders take the plants, Is a matte
that remains to be seen. The peopl
of Bloomsburg are not entirely un
tanilar with this latter method of dc
ing things.

All, THERE! WINTER!
A COpious Fail of the "Beautiful."-Mer
curry Drops Below Zero,

A Copious FAN of the 'Beautiful."-Mer-
curry Drops Below Zero,
This virinity-and, indeed, the en-
tire section OF country from the far
Northwest to the Land Of Flow
ers"-has beer in the icy grasp of
winter during the past week.
Saturday night old Boreas, from
his place on high, sent the silvery
flakes dropping lightly down to moth
er earth till the ground was covered
with a coat of white to the depth of
an iuch or two. Tuesday he renew
ed his work with tenfold vigor, and
for awhile a real blizzard ragged, the
snow coming down in drifts and the
sharp wind biting the faces and ears
of those who CHANGED to be out-Of-
doors. Soon the snow had fallen to
the depth of four or five inches, and
then it ceased and the mercury be-
gan to tumble. At o'clock that
night it registered degrees above
zero, and at midnight the 1ro mark
was touched. 1t continued to fall,
until O'Clock Wednesday morning
degrees below zero was registered.
These readings were taken from the
! thermometers at Acorn anu tit
combs drug stores. Atoth6r places,
it is said, the mercury dropped even
lower than that, going to 6 degrees
below zero.
The cold, however, did not hinder
those from having their fun who
were so inclined. The air soon be-
came filled with the merry tinkle of
sleigh bells and the shouts of happy
children engaged in coasting and
snowballing. Wednesday afternoon
the sun came out bright and warm
and the snow began To disappear.
This is the first big snow this sec
tion of the country has experienced
in two or three years.
Yesterday morning at 6 o'clock
the thermometer registered SO de-
grees above zero-a rise in tempera-
ture of 40 degrees in "a hours.

Many people suffer the pain, annoy
ance and other serious results from
piles, for years. and after trying the
many lotions, salves. ointments and the
many so-called cures without cure or
relief. give up the hope of final cure
rather than submit TO the intense pain
and danger which surgical operation
involves.
Happily all this suffering is no longer
necessary since the discovery OF the
Pyramid Pile cure: a remedy which is
approved by the medical profession az
being absolutely safe. free from any
trace of opiatCs, narcotic or mineral
poisons and which may be depended
upon as a sure cure mot only relief for
any form OF piles. whether itching.
blind. bleeding or protrudlng. Some Of
the hundreds of cures recently made
are n little short OF marvellous. as u
perusal OF the following will demon
strate:
