The same high tension was apparent

Mr.. Stewart moved unanimous consent.
The intention of the minority to
filibu:tsr and to continue the discussion
OF yesterday was apparent and expec'
tation 10 the crowded galleries was in

The intention of the minority had
been to challenge the accuracy of the

stand approved. While the minority
leaders were still comforting, Mr..
Mcmillan sent to the clerks desk and
had read resolutions of respect passed
by the House on the death OF Hon.

Immediately thereafter the Senate

THE CENTENNIAL.
Subscriptions Coming In Rapidly.

At meeting of the Centennial
Finance Committee held last week it
was decided to canvass the town by
districts for subscriptions to the fund.
and the work was divided as follows:
Solicitors for the rst district l.. N.
Moyer, w. o. Holmes; and district,
c. c. Peacock, w. S. Rishton; ard
district, Louis Cohen, Geo. f. Elwel;
4th district, II. V. White, w. H.
Slate. This committee has been at
work, and about $raoo have been
subscribed thus far, with many good
parties to hear from yet. There is
no doubt that sufficient money can
be raised, and the Centennial will
surely take place
r E. Hartman has kindly donated
the use of two rooms over his store
for the purposes of the Executive
Committee, and they are being put
IN proper shape. Hereafter all COM
mittee meetings will be held there.
Everybody is giving cheerfuly and
Literally, and the solicitors have been
turned down in but very few cases.
Those who have not yet been called
upon will confer favor by being pre-
pared to say what they will give. Those
who cannot or will not give anything
should say 50 at once. Don't ask
the committee to call again. Remem.
Der they are all busy men, and have
other use for their time, and cannot
call several times on each person.
The dates for the Centennial have
been changed to Thursday and FIJI
day, August aSth and a9th.
1The subscription lists will probably
be published in the town papers soon.
The Winona boys have consented
to give Minstrel show for the Cen
teunial fund. Manager J. r. Fowler
has offered the Opera House free
ID. J. Tasker will be the manager of
the entertainment
The "Queen Esther" company,
made up of Danville home talent
under the direction of Conner Thomas,
has offered to repeat the cantata here
for their expenses, the proceeds to 60

is under advsement but as there are
over one hundred people in the COM
pany 1t is feared that the expenses
will be too heavy to warrant the ac-
ceptance of the kind offer.

A QUIET CONTEST.
The GaIIaudet College Mu,es Defeated in a
Pretty Game.

1t was pretty contest that Normal
had with Gallaudet College, of Wash
ington, Friday afternoon. Contrary to
the appearance Of the score, the game
was very interesting. The visiting
team played with vim and dash thai
was decidedly refreshing and though
Normal secured lead in the early
innings, they displayed no signs of
encouragement, and played nice
clean ball all through the game. There
was but one member of the club who
could talk, the catcher, but he reject
ed the use of language, and would
only speak when he was asked ques-
ton by a Normal player. Their
method of communicating to one
another was not little amusing. Be-
fore delivering the ball, the pitcher
would look about him TO see that the
players were all in their positions, and
If he desired them to spread out or
close in, he would simply make
sign with his fingers. His silent orders
would always be quickly obeyed.
The Gallaudet College "yell" given
by the visitor at the conclusion OF the
game, came in the nature of sur
prise to the audience.
Normal put up its usual good ball,
and again demonstrated that i, takes
a mighty good team to beat them.
Particularly brilliant was the work of
Reighard at third. This young man
goes after everything and is improving
with every game. Keep it up

HISTORICALLY TWISTED.

In the route book of one of the
leading railroads Bloomsbury is
located "about three miles from the
Susquehanna on the banks of Fishing
Creek" That is two miles out OF the
way. Bloomsburg is within mile OF
the river. 1t is also said that " during
the War of the Rebellion it was
noised about that number of Copper
heads and some Confederates, who
had come down from Canada, had
erected a fort on the bank of the
creek and were planning to descend
upon the loyal people OF the valley.
This is an entirely new version of the
history of the Fishing Creek Invasion
We shall not attempt to correct, but
can only say that no such thing ever
happened in this section.

experience with a large bear on
Saturday. The animal was discover
ed on the first named gentleman's
farm, by Elwood Yocum. He noti-
fed Mr.. Henry, and the two, after
possessing themselves of shot guns
started in pursuit. The chase was a
brief one. In less than an hour bruin
fell victim to Mr.. Yocum's unerring
aim. But not until three shots had
been fired and everyone taking effect.
did he yield up his life. The people
appear to think that another bear is
holding fort IN that locality and every.
one is on the lookout.
