other causes. There is hardly an af-
fection of any of the abdominal Wis
cera that may not be its starting
point.
The exciting causes of appendicitis
are two-fold, the mechanical and the
infective, and these may operate sep
arately or in combination. The me-
chanical includes dlstension of the
intestinal canal, resulting in conges
ton and inflammation the entrance
of foreign bodies, such as seeds, &C.,
in the appendix, there acting as
sources of irritation and injuries
from strains or blows. Only about IL
per cent. of the cases are believed to
result from entrance of foreign bodies.
Constipation has an important bear
ing IN the production of the disease.
1t is frequently asked why it is that
these diseases have been known only
in recent years. The answer is that
the progress in medical science has
led to the discovery that they are
separate diseases. They used to be
known as Inflammation of the bowels.

Death of Mrs. Charles Kltzmiller.

Mrs. Charles w. Kitzmlller, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel S. Lau-
bauch, of East Third Street, this
town, whose serious illness with
typhoid fever was mentioned in two
previous issues of this paper, sue
cumbed to the disease at the Episco-
pal Hospital in Philadelphia Friday
afternoon last, at about one o'clock.
Ol Thursday she manifested signs Of
improvement and the attending
physicians informed her father and
sister Miss Margaret, who had been
summoned there few days previous
that there were chances of recovery.
The hope proved to be short lived
however, as the next morning, the
disease took a sudden turn for the
worse. Ii was decided to perform an
operation, which was done, but her
condition was so weak that deat.l
followed shortly afterward. The last
two weeks of her life were filled with
great suffering, yet with all of it there
was not a word OF complaint. She
kept her spirit above all depressing
influences, and by her words of hope
and confidence of the hereafter, in
spired those who surrounded the bed
side when the end came.
Mrs. Kitzmiller was admired by al
who knew her, she possessed the
sincerest geniality and her demise Il
deeply regretted.
The remains were brought tC
Bloomsburg on the 6:4o Pennsylvani;
train Saturday evening. The services
were conducted at the house Monday
afternoon at two o'clock, by Rev. ID
N, Kirkby, of the Episcopal Church
Interment was made in Rosemon
Cemetery.
The surviving husband and TIVE
little children have the deep sympath
of all.

A LAMENTABLE SIGHT.

A woman, apparently fifty-hve or
sixty years OF age, in recumbent
position along the roadside, near the
entrance TO the new Rosemont Gem
etery, covered with frozen mud 10
such an extent that it was almost I'm
possible to tell whether she was a
human being or not, is the lamentable
sight that met the gaze of Chas. Shat
fer, while on his way to Boomsburg
early yesterday morning. Undecided
as to whether the object was dead or
alive, Mr.. Shaffer hurried on to town
and related his find to poor director
Isaiah Hagenbuch, who in turn in
formed several other gentlemen and
the number went to the scene to
make an investigation. On their
arrival they found the woman stand
ing up, with her clothing frozen about
her, and man, presumably her son,
seated on the bank short distance
away without any shoes on his feet.
The latter seemed rather loathc to
accept the proposition of the gentle
men to return TO town where they
would be furnished with something to
eat, but insisted that he would build
"a fire and thaw the woman out. But
her wretchef appearance and apparent
suffering appealed to the sympathy of
the beholders, and they were put in
an omnibus and conveyed to the lock
up, where they were given something
to eat, and allowed to remain until
they were warm, after which they were
assisted on their journey by the Poor
authorities.
The man stated that they were
from Kansas City and intended going
to Binghamton, n. Y, and that they
were totally without money. They
had sat down along the road the night
before about half past eight and both
went to sleep. The appearance OF
the ground in the vicinity where they
had rolled about looked moIe as if it
had been occupied by swine than
human beings. The woman is the
possessor of very strong constitution
or she could never have survived
through the night.

POOL T0URN AMENT.

What was by great odds the most
interesting pool tournament ever held
by the Bloomsburg Wheelmen, took
place at the Club House Thursday
evening. Former champions, and
sharks in general, were defeated by
unknown quantities, thus furnishing
surprise after surprise. But not until
the final game did the most unexpect-
ed occur. Frank Roys, with the score
aI to against him, started in and by
handling himself IN true professional
fashion, succeeded in pocketing twelve
balls and winning the prize. This was
what is known as handicap tourna-
ment. Each man was rated according
to his ability, which was based on the
records made by him at previous
matches. The system gave good salts
faction and it is likely that all future
tournaments will be conducted in a
like manner. 1t places every man on
an even footing. For instance, II
one has shown himself to be quite
proficient at the game, he will have
to make the limit, IS balls, while his
opponent, who is less skillful will only
have to make, say IS or 20. In the
above case, Mr.. Roys had to get &c
balls and his opponent "a, which shows
that had it not been for the handicaI
Mr.. Roys would have lost.

Awarded a Verdict.

Mrs. Emma +. Lewis has received
verdict of $6,94I.66 for the death
of her husband, which resulted from
an accident which befel him while
driving over the Hunlock's Creek and
Muhlenburg turnpike, few years
ago. The point where the fatality
occurred is short distance east of
the Hunlock's Creek station of the
ID. l.. & w. Railroad. Mr.. Lewis
was driving with double team, when
darkness overlook him; the horses, it
is supposed, turned off the road, and
as there was no guard rail to prevent
such accidents at that time, the whole
outfit went over the high embank-
ment. He was we'll known, and has
large number of relatives in the
upper end of this county, where he
was born and raised.

lady, and always took an active inter
est in church work. She was four
years past the meridian of life, and is

JASPER E. WILSON.

Jasper +. Wilson died at the Central
Hotel in Hazleton last Monday at one
o'clock, from an acute attack of ap.
pendicitis. On Wednesday, the roth
inst, he went to Hazleton. On Thurs
day he went to Allentown, and was
not feeling well. On Friday he re-
turned to Hazleton, intending to reach
home that day, but rapidly grew worse
and was compelled to go to bed. HIS
family was notified, and on Saturday
morning Mrs. Wilsoa went to him.
The disease resisted treatment. and
last Saturday it was decided by the
physicians that an operation must be
performed, and this was accordingly
done.
On Monday morning word was re-
ceived by telephone that Mr.. Wilson
could not long survive. His brother
o. +. Wilson, and his brother-ln-law
L. +. Sharpless, and his three daugh-
tiers started for Hazleton by the first
train, where they arrived ten minutes
after he had ceased to breathe. Mrs.
Wilson and T. J. Vanderslice, her
brother-in-law, were with him when he
died.
The remains were put in charge of
an undertaken, and the family came
home on Monday afternoon. The
body arrived on Tuesday morning.
The funeral was held at the house
this afternoon at one o'clock, and was
conducted by Rev DR.. Conner, pastor
of the Methodist church.
This is peculiarly sad case, and
his sorrowing family have the heart
felt sympathy of everybody.
Jap. Wilson was an honest man, an
upright citizen, kind husband and
good father. He was popular with all
classes who knew him, and was pos
sessed of genial and jovial disposi-
tion that made it pleasure to be with
him. For the past twenty-five years
he has been travelling salesman tor
Frishmuth Bros. tobacco dealers, OF
Philadelphia, and this gave him wide
acquaintance over large territory.
The deceased was a son of Nathan
ial Wilson of Pottsvile. He was born
in that town on April 80, IS4S, and
came to Bloomsburg about thirty five
years ago, and has resided here con-
tinuously. On June IA, 1876 he was
married to Araminta, daughter of our
aged townsman Joseph Sharpless, and
to them were born three daughters,
Edna, Nellie and Martha, all of whom
survive him. A brother and two sisters
also mourn his loss. They are Oliver
+. Wilson of Bloomsbury, Miss Emma
]. of louisville, and Mrs. Elizabeth
Sweppenhlser OF Philadelphia. For
several years past Mr.. Wilson has
been treasurer of Rosemont Cemetery
Company, and was one of the active
movers in procuring and opening the
new cemetery grounds above town
He had numerous traits of charactel
that made him many warm friends
and his genial presence will be miss
ed in other places, as we'll as around
the hearthstone of the pleasant home
that he had provided for his family
Just in the prime of life, it is hard te
understand why he should be thu
suddenly cut off in the flower of hi
manhood. But Gods ways are pas
finding out.

Will Make 1t Right Handed.
Change TO be Made on the D. [. 4 w..
Bloomsbufg Division.

1t is proposed by the Lackawann:
to change the Bloomsbury Division tc
a right-handed road this summer. The
preliminary work has been begun al
Pittston Junction, where the Lehigt
Valley tracks are crossed.
The "Bloom' has been a "lett.
handed" road ever since it was con.
structed half century ago. Coal
constituted about all that was carried
on the road in its early days and as
the coal yard in this city was arranged
as to "loaded" and "empty" switches
so that it would be necessary for
trains to "cross" one another if the
"Bloom" was made right-handed, it
was decided 10 adopt the English Gus
tom of having the road "left-handed." ."
As far as practical advantages 60 it
makes little difference whether a road
is "right-handed" or 'left.handed." 1t
is simply matter of custom. In
England they are ''left-handed", and
in most other countries "right-handed"
because of the highway custom OF the
respective countries. In England you
turn to the left on the road; in this
country, to the right. As far as is
known here. the Bloom" is the only
road in this country running left-hand-
ed. A few years ago one of the New
England roads changed from left to
right, and the railroad papers at the
time stated that the Lackawanna e.
Bloomsburg division of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western would be
the only road in the country to EN-.
ploy the "left-handed" system of rum.
ng its trains.-Scranton Tribune.
