The Merchants Picnic.

Several of our young business men are
agitating the matter of a mer chants
picnic, which is named in connection
with Wednesday, June Goth. Although
no arrangements are as yet made, the
idea seems to be popular one all along
the street and as the event approaches
there is no doubt but that all our bust
ness men will be found in line.
The idea is to make the day one of
the most gala events of the season, one
which will take the merchant from his
business and its cares, leaving him moth
ing to fear in the way of loss or dis
advantage. The closing, which is to
include with the stores, meat shops,
barber shops, &C., will take place not
later than noon and will be made un-
iversal
The outing will take place at Hunter s
Park and the merchants and their fami-
lies will take their meals on the ground,
spending the day in true picnic style.
Among the sports will be horse rae.
ing, bicycle racing, bag and wheelbar.
row races. There will be dancing and
music by Stoes' band and Penn Social
orchestra.

dience. The stage under its decora-
tions presented very pretty appear
ance. A large pillow of daisies-the

a row of palms. At the rear OF the stage
clusters of large fern were artlstlcally

ground to the whole setting.

the faculty of the Hich school and Bor-
ough Superintendent in the rear.
The exercises were opened with an
invocation by Rev. Harry Curtin Har-
man.
The usual commencement program
was rendered by the class. The essays

thought in their preparation, and were
well read, while the other features were
rendered in manner to reflect credit
upon the class Of '01.

Morgan Pegg Succeeds.

A competitive examination for ap-
pointment to the naval academy at An
napolis, Md, was held in the High
school room Friday. In the class ex-
ammed were the following: Morgan
Pegg, Joseph Cottrell and Harry Gas
kins, of this city; w. J. Wolf, of Shamo-
kin, Ambrose Welsh, of Laporte; l.. G.
Smith of Mt. Carmel, and Walter Jar
rett, of Sunbury.
The examining board appointed by
Congressman Polk consisted of Pro-
fessor l.. p. Sterner, supervising princi-
pal of the Bloomsbury schools; Profes-
sor Ira Shpman, Borough Superntend
ent of Sunbury; and Borough Superin-
tendent J. G. Houser of this city. Mr..
Houser being indisposed was assisted
at the examination by Professor L. l..
Gordy, principal of the local High
school
Holden G. Richardson of Shamokin,
who was appointed from this district
four years ago by Hon. NJ. II. Kulp,
graduated at Annapolis, Friday, with
distinguished honors. Congressman
Polk in his appointment of successor
will be governed by the result of FRI
day'o examination.
The examination was conducted in
such way as to remove it beyond the
least suspicion of unfairness. Each paper
was signed with fictitious name, while
the applicants real name along with the
one assumed was placed in sealed en-
velope bearing the fictitious name. Thus
the examiners were kept in ignorance Of
whose papers they were examining and
it was not until the work was completed
and the envelopes were opened that the
real names of the class were learned or
the papers of any one examined could
be identified.
Morgan Pegg, of this city. had
reached the highest average and led in
the contest. Mr.. Rgg will receive the
appointment.

ICE WAGON IN
A RUNAWA
Two Spirited Horses Figure in an Exciting
Smash-up.

thrilling runaway, which put sever
al lives in jeopardy and caused consider
able damage occurred on Front street
about 1870 o'clock yesterday forenoon.
The runaway team, consisting of two
horses attached to an ice wagon, be-
longed to Israel Berninger, of Roaring
Creek. The morning delivery of ice had
been made and the driver, Willis Stew
art, stopped the team opposite John
Hixson's tin shop for the purpose of re-
moving the bells. To unfasten these he
stepped in between the two horses
along side the tongue, as was his daily
practice. While in this position the
horses took fright and began to run.
Mr.. Stewart was in very tight place
and to escape being trampled under
foot and run over by the wheels he did
the only thing possible and that was to
jump upon the back one of the horses.
He did not succeed in getting astride,
but clinging to the top of the names
hung Oh one side of the animal.
The sight was one to be remembered
as the frantic animals plunged along at
a break neck pace. The imperiled driv-
er twice slipped dangerously near the
ground, but just as he was on the verge
of being trampled under foot he regain
ed his hold on the horses back.
AT Foust's brewery the runaway team
ran into covered spring wagon
belonging to Joseph Boyd of Boyd's
station. Mr.. Boyd was in the brewery
to load quantity of "grains,''
which he had purchased for cattle feed.
In the wagon were two little boys, Wal.
ter and Dennis Snyder, sons of Mr..
Boyd's farmer. The heavy ice wagon
struck the front part of the spring wag-
on, carrying away the front running
gear, wrecking the wheels, springs and
shafts and inhicting a very dangerous
cut upon the right hind leg of Mr..
Boyd's horse.
The force of the impact threw the
front part of the spring wagon up into
the air. Everyone thought the little
boys inside would be killed. One of
them was thrown out upon the pave
ment, but the other held on to the seat
and came down with the wagon box.
Neither was hurt.
Before reaching Mill street Mr.. Stew
art succeeded in grasping the rein of one
of the runaway horses, and soon had
them under control. The team was
stopped near the water works. The
only damage sustained by the ice wagon
was broken single tree

Hunters Park Thrown Open.

Hunters Park was formally thrown
open to the public on Saturday after
noon and though the weather condi-
tions were decidedly unfavorable an i'm
mense crowd was in attendance. Fully
eight hundred people heard the excell-
ent concert given by Stoes' band in the
afternoon. On all sides were heard words
of praise for this beautiful place. The
buildings, especially the pavilion, ,awoke
much admiration. Ease of access, good
water, fine dancing floor, the merry-go
round, swings and other attractions
should insure success to this park. In
the evening the Penn Social club orch
estra furnished music for dancing. The
floor was filled with dancers the entire
evening.

HOW

A Glowing Account by

Thomas.

New York, April 15.--(Spl.) AT the
conference of ministers of
the Newark Methodist con
ference, Elder John s. krantz gave
an enthusiastic report of the removal
of church at Port Morris. 1t had
been erected on one side of the village,
which perversely insisted on extending
itself from the other side, and finally
people had to cross eight railroad
tracks to get to the ediiicc. 1t was the
only Methodist church in the village,
and something had to be done to keep
the congregation from drifting away,
TO other churches. The elder said:
"rhe Lord gave. us favor in the sight
of the railroad officials and, among
them, they gave us $3.50 in moncy,
with free transportation of materials
for moving and permission to raise the
telegraph lines and cross the tracks.
AT our request, for brief time,

at the command of Joshua. Then fol
lowed the carrying of the building,
weighing seventy-iivc tons, over the
pond of the canal 200 feet wide, and
with only twelve inches of ice.
1--WE shall never forget the anxiety
of the contractor, who expected that
the dear, old meeting house would
go to the bottom in midstream, but
we quicted his fears by telling him
that some trusted in houses of steel
and chariots of ice, but we trusted
in the Lord, and though the water
