A REMARKABLE OCCURRENCE.

About half past eight Monday
night, the residence of Solomon
Hurst, on Catharine Street, was
made the target of bolt of light
ming, that tore off the siding on the
gable end, damaged the roof and
ignited a fire in the attic. The
fire however, did but little damage,
as workmen from the Harman-
Cogger plant, near by, hurried to
the scene with some hose and ex-
tinguished the flames before they
had time to effect any very serious
damage.
The occurrence was most remark
able, in as much as no warning
sounds preceded it, and the bolt
descended from an apparently
cloudless sky. The flash broke
forth, with a suddenness and un-
eXpectedness that was startling,
and the concomitant illumination
of the earth was binding in its
brillancy.

THE COLUMBIAN.
THE WHEBLMEN'S SMOKER.

The first smoker arranged by
the new entertainment committee
of the Bloomsbury Wheelmen,
Messrs. Gerald Gross, Harry J.
Achenbach, J. Warren Lee, William
Calhoun and Reber Mears, and
held at the Club House, Tuesday
evening, was an unqualified sue
cess, i'll every way. In response to
invitations sent out, members to
the number of about one hundred
and twenty-five assembled to taste
the comforts ard projected joys of the
Club. 1t was truly a most delight
full evening. Calhoun's orchestra
of seven pieces discoursed good
music, which together with vocal
solos by l. B. Abrams, DR.. A. X.
Aldinger and d. J. Tasker, and
some choice selections on Geo. w.
Hess splendid phonograph, con-
stituted a very pleasing musical
program, which was immensely en-
joyable. Nearly all Of those who
took part in the recent minstrel
show were present, and they added
to the pleasure of the evening by
rendering the opening overture.
The profuse and artistic use o.
cut flowers added greatly to the
appearance of the roous, and the
interior never looked prettier.
On entering the Club House each
man was handed favor in the shape
three cigars. a holder and carna-
tion held together with a bow of
ribbon. Delicious refreshments
prepared by Mrs. Edward Leighow
were served.
The whole affair from beginning
to end showed that great care had
been taken in making the arrange
ments, and the entertainment COM
mittee is to be congratulated for the
delightful evening provided, which
aside from the pleasure, will go a
long way toward endearing the tie
Of friendship that exists among the
members

A FIRE SCARE.

A fire that for time foretokened
serious proportions, and which was
the result of carelessness on the
part of some boys, who were burn.
ing the contents of some waste
paper baskets on the rear of the
vacant lot, from the front of which
the old Presbyterian church has
recently been removed, occurred
about half past five o'clock Thurs
day afternoon. The youngsters
dumped the paper on heap ap-
piled the match, and left. The
flames followed the paper covered
surface to a frame building, form
erly occupied by Robert Mcbride
as a paint shop. and in an instant
almost, the whole structure was
ablaze. An alarm was turned in
from the box on the corner of Cen
ter and Main street and the Winona
boys, who have established repu-
tation for promptness, were the
first to reach the scene. They con-
nected with the plug on the corner
at Third street, and soon had the
flames under control.
The building standing somewhat
apart from the other structures, to.
gether with the fact that the roof
on it is tin, were decidedly fortu-
nate circumstances. Otherwise the
hremen would have had a serious
conhagration to combat as there
was strong wind blowing at the
time.
Both the Penna. and the United
Telephone Companies suffered
from the result of the fire. The
intense heat melted the messenger
wire, of the former company, and
the heavy cable dropped into the
alley colliding with the latter COM
pany's wires, impairing the service
on a number of lines.

Patrons of the National Game
were woefully disappointed in the
showing made by the Susquehanna
University ball team in the game
against Normal Saturday afternoon.
They were accredited with having
shown considerable strength against
one or two of the Tii-State League
teams, and people went to Normal
Field expecting to see a close con-
test. But oh, how their expectation
were frustrated. The exhibition
was the weirdest given any visiting
aggregation in a long time and
Normals runs seemed to come so
dead easy that the rooters couldn't
enthuse. Back to the woods" was
flung at the down river bunch from
different sections of the bleachers
and their playing justified the sneer.
The game ended with the score

Feasted on Trout.

Alfred McHenry, cashier OF the
Columbis County National Bank at
Benton, feasted on trout Tuesday.
The day previous his son Earl
caught three speckled beauties, the
largest of which measured 1871
inches. So tickled was the boy that
he ran all the way home and told
his father to get the yard stick to
measure it. The fish was the
largest caught in that vicinity this
season. That it put up a game
fight is attested by the fact Earl
broke his pole in getting it out of
the water.
