Another one of those delightful
receptions which Mr.. James Magee
II is in the habit of giving to the
members of Recreation Hall at the
Magee Carpet Mills, took place last
Saturday evening. More than $50
guests were present.
The hall was beautifully decorat-
ed with flags and lanterns. Music
was furnished by Recreation Or
chestra and the Bloomsbury Band
w. H. Law was master of cere-
monies. assisted by John Morris.
and the refreshments were in charge
of Miss c. E. Kelly and Mrs Stoh-
ner. That all Of their duties were
performed in highly satisfactory
manner goes without saying.
The chief feature of the evenings S
entertainment was the presentation
of a drama entitled "The Union
Station at Jayville Junction." in
which the actors were all home tai
ent, and the play was given in a
very enjoyable manner. The mu-
sical selections were very pleasing.
After the play dancing was in
dulged in until 1880, when the
party broke up.
There are few employers who
take more interest in the comfort
and pleasure of their employees
than Mr.. Magee. AS result, the
best of feeling prevails.
The Magee Carpet Mills are
among the largest in the state, and
Bloomsburg is fortunate in possess
ing such All industry, and in having
it under the management of such a
man as lanes Magee.

CHANGE IN SELECTION OF TRUS.
TEES.

To comply with law passed by
the last Legislature when a provi-
sion was put in the special appro-
priation bill to the Normal Schools
that the management of the institu-
tions should hereafter be by a board
of eighteen trustees, nine to be
elected by the stockholders and
nine appointed by the Superinten-
dent of Public Instruction, instead
of electing twelve by the stock
holders and having six appointed
by the State, A. L. Fritz and Paul
+. Writ have been appointed trus-
tees of the Bloomsbury State Nor
NAL School on the part of the State.
At the annual meeting in May but
three trustees will be chosen by the
stockholders and three appointed
by the State, which will make the
division complete as required by
the act of the legislature referred
to. Until the May meeting the
board will consist of ten members
from the stockholders and eight on
the part of the state.
This makes no change in the
membership of the board, as
Messrs. Writ and Fritz have been
trustees for many years.

ANOTHER ACCIDENT AT BRIDGE

Pursued by a cruel fate the Milf
flinville bridge was the scene of
another bad accident which might
have resulted in the death Of Jacob
Johnson of East Third street. He
was struck across the back BY an
inch thick galvanized iron cable
Monday afternoon.
Johnson was in the first accident
when the traveller" collapsed send
ing seven men to their deaths.
However, he was one of the fortu-
nate ones. and escaped with but
superficial injuries, only to return
to work, and meet with the more
serious accident.
He was assisting to erect the
false work when one of the ropes
fell and he was unable to escape
the flying cable, which struck him
across the back just below the
shoulders.
Fellow workmen ran to his aid,
and everything possible was done
in an effort to help him. He re-
covered consciousness in a few min
utes, and complained of having lost
the use of his lower limbs. 1t was
feared at first that his back was
broken. DR.. Hover was summon
ed and did what was possible. John
son was brought to the Joseph Rat
ii Hospital, and hopes are enter
tained for his recovery.
Johnson was working at the top
of the first span, 4S feet above the
ground, shortly after dinner when
an inch iron guy rope, that was
holding the large derrick in posi-
ton, broke. the rope striking John
son in the back and knocking him
down. AS he fell he managed to
hold himself to the top of the span
until a fellow workman, named
Fedder, could reach him and get
him out of his perilous position.
Had he fallen he would have struck
on the railroad ties and rails below,
with even more serious conse-
quenceS.
