J. G. MALCOLM DEAD.
A Prominent Physician and an Honest Man
Is Como

DIR. j. G.. Malcolm Is dead. Al
though he had reached the allotted
three score years and ten, his deatl
was much of Il surprise to his many
friends and acQualntanccs In this city
and elsewhere, who knew him as are
markably straight and agile old man.
He was taken with a sudden palr
Thursday In the region of the heart
and II physician was summoned. On
Saturday however he was much bet
Ter and was at his Office. But on
Sunday 1t took him again violently
aud shortly afternoon he passed to his
reward
DR.. Malcolm was born In Scotland
and removed to America at a very
early age with his parents who located
in Canada and here he grew to man
hood. In october 1853 DR., Malcolm
graduated from college in Toronto
and received the first honors of his
class. In 1864 he graduated from
medical school in New York and af-
terward took n special course In hom-
eopathy at Ann Arbor, Michigan.
He was a long while in the practice
and was very successful, However
he seemed to enjoy the study of the
science more than his practice, and
most Of his time was spent among
his books. In his library he delved
and produced many technical manu-
scripts some OF which have been
printed and have become recognized
authorities In his branch Of the pro-
fession.
But Dr. Malcolm was not only II
well read man in his profession, but Il
man Of uncommon and varied infor-
nation. lie studied the problem Of
life deeply. He understood social and
moral questions thoroughly.
He was radically democratic in his
opinions and had reasons for them all
His nature was generous and tender
but above everything else was his
love Of justice. Being progressive
and kind by nature he abhorred war
and everything that is brutal, If
there are any honest men in this
world he was one Of them. He might
have been much more successful in
his professor If he had catered more
to public opinion, and conventional
ties. But this he would not do for
gold nor success.
DIR. Malcolm was one Of those men
who are seldom appreciated at first
acquaintance. But he gew dearer
with intimacy and now that he Is
gone he will be better valued than
ever before. He lived a useful life
Of hard labor. Peace be to his soul.
He leaves one daughter, Mrs Elmer
Barton Of this city, and one son who
is broker in New York.
The funeral services were held
from the residence Of his daughter
conducted by Rev. SheTln, Tues
day afternoon.

A BERWICK CONFEDERATION.

Fire broke out Friday morning in
the Kurtz building, corner Second
and Pine Streets, Berwick. Judge
Kurtz and family were aroused by
hearing some one cry fire and he at
once started for The Building adjoining
his residence from which he found
smoke and flames issuing. Both fire
companies responded to the alarm
sounded by the gong and it was
through their efforts that the flames
were subdued and prevented from
doing greater damage. AS it is the
second story of his well furnished
home was flooded with water and dis
colored with smoke and the ieai
portion of the building devoted to the
Judges large and rapidly growing
marble business was utterly destroyed
The Judges Office at the front, con
tanning many valuable papers, was
thoroughly drenched with water but
was untouched by the flames. The
fire is supposed to have been the work
of an incendiary.

BOLU ROBBERS.
Many Bloomsbury Dwellings Plundered Sun.
day Night.

1t was a base bold band OF crooks
that swept down upon Bloomsburg
during the still hours of Sunday night.
Burglaries are by no means rare.
Houses have been broken into and
goods stolen in the past, but it is
doubtful if there were ever before SO
many committed at one time within
the town limits as was the case Sun
day night. Six houses were entered
but the value of the property stolen
was only trifling Just where the band
began operations is not known, but
they must have moved with consider
able a'acfity as the circuit was gone
over and the six houses visited in a
remarkably short space of time. In
some instances they encountered little
difficulty in affecting an entrance. AT
T. l.. Gunton's, on Market Street, a
rear window. was removed, closets
and drawers on the first floor were
ransacked and things in general strewn
aboat in chaotic fashion, but nothing
valuable was obtained. They evidently
had their appetites with them as every
thing in the edible line which had
been prepared by Mrs. Gunton on
Saturday night had been eaten. They
apparently were in no hurry, as they
took time to su =eten some cold coffee.
Through the cellar was the method
employed to get INTO the large house
on the corner of Market and Fifth
Streets and occupied by C. A. Kitchen
and w. S. Reed. Burned matches
marked the path of the marauders In
different parts of the house on the
first floor. Mr.. Kitchen had left his
coat hanging on a chair down stairs.
1t contained bank book and several
dollars in money. The book had been
removed from the pocket and was
found lying on the floor, but strange
the money was untouched. In the
other half of the house nothing was
disturbed with the exception of few
candy samples from Mr.. Reeds case.
Other houses included in the raid
were those of Mr.. w. l.. Eyerly, on
Market Street; ]. J. Robinson, Market
Street; and c. r. Butler, on Fifth
Street, but as in the foregoing cases
nothing was stolen.
Money was the motive that prompt
ed the perpetration of the outrages.
valuables In the way of silverware
could easily have been secured had
the thieves so desired, but they didn't
want it. 1t was money or nothing,
and they took the latter.
The burglars continued their work
Monday night by breaking into the
home of William Brobst in the lower
end of town, where they secured
nearly ten dollars in money.

c. ID. Lynn, who has been secretary
of the local Y. NJ. c. A., for the past
several years, rendered his resignation
last week. The last meeting under
his charge was held Sunday afternoon,
and consisted of song service with a
few brief addresses, all OF which were
BETTING the occasion. Mr.. Lynn's
administration has been eminently
successful, and the present healthy
condition of the Association is due to
his untlring zeal and able manage
ment. AT the conclusion of the
service MI. Lynn was presented with a
beautiful ring by the members, as a
token of esteem and friendship. The
new secretary is Mr.. B. f. Armstrong
who was the first to serve in that cap
acity, when the association was organ
'zed in 1890.

NEW YORK. March The Times
this morning says:
A resident Of New York who for po-
ltical reasons declined to permit the
use Of his name but who has exten-

Of the situation existing in that coun-
try:
General Ignacio Andrade arrived at
San Juan, Porto Rico from Cuba, on
February 17th and remained at his
ranch for few days, when he departed
quietly for more active service, pre-
sumably in the field, as he had perfected
his final arrangements with his Cuban
friends who are to take part in the
decisive movement for the overthrow Of
Cipriano Castro the present dictator Of
the republic Of Venezuela.
Notwithstanding that but little if

powerful, and far-reaching uprising is

l<enaa, a clerk In an insurance COM
pany. is in st. Luke's hospital recov-
erlng from a surgical operation, one OF
the rarest krown to modern science.
The operation is known as gastro-an-
terostomy. and consists Of removing the
patients stomach. cutting away the
pyloris and several malignant growths
in its vicinity and restoring the stomach
to Its former place
McKenns was resting easy last night
and the physicians say that II the pres
ent Improvement continues he will be up
in a week.
McKenna complained some months
ago of severe pains in his stomach
and was troubled with insomnia, a
tube inserted through his aesophagus
into his stomach showed total dis
appearance Of all acids and destruc-
ton Of the pepsin, making digestion inn
possible. Food taken into the stom-
ach was taken away seventeen hours
later in practically the same condition
as before. This condition called for an
examination which disclosed a tumor as
big as a hens egg and systematic
degeneration of the pancreas.
The patient was thereupoa prepared
for the operation 4 vertical incision
about five inches long was made in the
abdomen and through the growth, the
exposed pyloris showing a tumor out
side Of the stomach An incision was
then made in the stomach and inside
was found a cancerous growth the size
of a large orange.
The point where the tacision was
made-at the pynris-is the exit of the
stomach into the intestines, the other
opening being the entrance through the
aesophagus. The stomach was cut
away from the intestines and thu organ
was lifted completely out OF its place
and laid on a cushion OF antissptic
cloths placed on he patients chest.
Then the doctors cut away the tumor
and cut of the pylors. the other ma
lignant growth being also thoroughly
cut away. The stomach was then put
back in its accustomed place. having
been ioined to the nJss;ines with silk
sutures.
But little blood was apparent through
out the whole operation, which lasted
one hour and fifteen minutes. The pa
tient rallied at once and it was seen
that the operation was a success.
