FIRE WIPES OUT THE
HEART OF COLORED TOWN
SEVERAL BUILDINGS DESTROYED
BY EARLY MORNING BLAZE -
FIRE DEPARTMENT DOES GOOD
WORK,

Fire in Midway this morning de-
stroyed property approximating in
value about $4,000.
A little after half past two o'clock
this morning Geo. N. Gum, assistant
engineer at the electric plant, stepped
out Of doors and noticed a glare
Of light to the northward, in the col
Ored settlement of Midway, which
caused him to send a man to the up
per story to investigate. This man
at once reported it to be a fire and
the alarm signal was Immediately Civ
en- at about twenty minutes of three.
A second alram was given a few mo-
ments later.
The fire proved to be in the store
building of s. W. Duncan on the nortI
side Of Second avenue, a short dis
lance west Of the railroad. 1t was
discovered by J. L. Odum, who con-
Quoted a meat market adjoining on
the west, and for perhaps five min
utes Mr.. Odum and AbesSmith, a
colored man, were the Wy persons
present. They were surprised by.
the promptness of the alarm after
their cry of fire, not knowing that
the fire had been seen from the
electric light plant
The fire company was quickly on the
scene, considering the muddy cOndi-
ton of the street from the preceding
days rain, and did excellent work,
combining the fire to four buildings in
the immediate vicinity OF the Duncan
place These buildings were, in ad-
dition to Duncan's, the J. L. Odum' S
market, DR.. D. T. Suaughan's drug
store and the Baptist church, the lat
ter on the south side of the street. |
All were property of colOred people
with the exception of the Odum mark

No insurance seems to have been
carried on the church, but Duncan had
$500 with Bingham q Thompson and
$4,000 with Conrad * Oates, while
DR.. Straughan carried $1,000 on his

GONE TO HARTFORD.

G.. Edward Elwell has gone to
Hartford, Conn, to be present at
the opening of Trinity College,
where he graduated in June, and
to participate in what is known in
colleges as the rushing season"
This is the time when there is a
great scramble among the various
college fraternities for new mem-

est efforts to secure the best of the
new material in the Freshman
class. For few days the election
eering goes Oh at pace that ex-
ceeds the waimest political CAM

After the war is over, and the
new men have been secured, the
marked attentions to them sudden
ly cease, and they become ordinary
freshmen, whose duty it is to
meekly take orders from the other
classmen.

SATURDAY NIGHT FIRE.

A fire occurred in a house OF
Railroad street between Third and
Fourth on Saturday evening. 1t
started in a room on the second
floor through which stove pipe
passes. Mrs. Ratnbo first saw it
and gave the alarm.
The house belongs to Geo. Trump
and was occupied by John Collins
and family. Three children were
asleep and they were rescued with
difficulty, the flames having gained
much headway before any one
could get in, the front door being
locked. Mr.. and Mrs. Collins were
out at the time.
By hard fighting the fremen con-
fined the fire to the one building,
though Mrs. Rambo's $ house was in
great danger.
There are seven children in the
Collins family, and all their cloth
ing and the furniture was destroy
ed. The family is at James Law
lor's for the present.
Mr.. Trump's loss on the building
is said to be nearly $1,000, with but
little insurance.
The fremen were promptly on
hand and did good service.

TIE SCHOOL AND THE LAW.

The state of Pennsylvania has
long since recognized the benefits
and the necessity for public schools,
and for this reason the legislature
has appropriated millions of dollars
year after year for the maintenance
Of these schools.
The object of compulsory educa-
ton is two fold; first, for the bene-
fit of the individual, and second,
for the protection of society. With
an education the individual is put
on a self-supporting basis. He is
furnished with the tools that will
enable him to earn an honest living
in the trades or in business. Being
able to take care of himself, he is
not likely to become public charge.
With children whose home sur
roundings are pleasant and refined
there is but little need for a COM
pulsory law requiring them to at
tend school until sixteen years of
age. These as class are not the
ones who play truant, though of
course there are exceptions. There
are children in this town, and in
every town, who need the help of
the compulsory law to keep them
from being as their fathers are,
worthless, lazy, and besotted. The
fathers are so, because in many
cases their fathers before them were
of the same breed.
And here is where the rights of
society attach. 1t is largely from
the ignorant and the depraved class
that the criminal element comes.
For them the public must maintain
poor houses, and jails, and courts,
and hence it is interested in having
every child educated at least suffic-
iently to enable it to care for itself
in maturer years. This the public
school does for them.
There are parents who are not
fit to be parents. They have no
interest in the education of their
offspring, and would rather have
them doing something to add a lit
tie to the family revenue, either by
working, or begging, or stealing, it
matters little which, than to have
them preparing for future useful
ness by going to school.
And here is where the necessity
for a truant officer arises. 1t is for
the vicious boys who stay out Of
school in spite of their parents, and
for the unfortunate boys whose
parents do not care whether they
go or not.
The law has done all it can do
for these children. 1t provides for
the appointment of truant officer,
and vests him with authority to
enforce attendance. If these wise
provisions are not enforced where
they are needed, and boys grow into
men, and continue to be the town
drones and loafers, generation after
generation, it is the fault of the
community, and not of the boys.

FOUR INJURED IN RUNAWAY.

While standing near the Shaffer
bridge at the S. B. q B. station on
Tuesday evening the bus team of
Clark Miller became frightened at
the train, and started off OH a run
with no driver. Miller's father had
Just left their heads.
In the bus were Mrs. William
Casey, Mrs. Harry Miller, John
Larned and a son of NJ. Shoemaker
of town, and J. c. Creveling OF
Espy. AS there was no way to
reach the lines the passengers jump
ed out, and all but the boy were
injured.
Mrs. Casey was rendered uncon-
scious, being badly bruised and
shoulder sprained; John Larred had
his leg lascerated; Mrs. Miller had
her wrist, elbow and knee sprained
and many bruises; J. c. Creveling
got a sprained ankle and bruises.
None of the injuries are dangerous,
and all will recover.
DR.. Shuman was sent for, and
gave, medical aid to the two ladies',
the others having come to town on
the baggage wagon.
The horses were not caught un-
til they nearly reached Bloomsbury.
No damage was done to the team
or bus.

worked like a charm. Two other
machines, each with capacity of

being set up.
1t is expected that $50 hands
will soon be employed, and this
will be gradually increased.
The Fear plant is equipped with
the best machinery that can be
made, and is complete in every de-
tail. That it will prove a great
benefit to the town goes without
saying.

Thirty Students Enrolled This Year
In That Department of

RAPIDLY GROWING

Among its many we'll equipped
Departments the Bloomsbury State
Normal School has newly develop
ed one which is worthy of the gen
eral attention of the public, not
only because of its efficiency, but
also on account of the splendid
work which has been done by Pro-
fessor D. S. Hartlne in developing
it to it's present state.
This is the Medical Preparatory
Department which has grown in
the past seven or eight years from
a'small beginning to be very i'm
portant part of the local institution
The history of its growth IS grad
ual. The work first developed from
the needs of the biological depart
ment, which branch of the school
Professor Hartline has made one of
the most thorough and we'll cared
for of any in the schools of the
State, and which, with its new
spacious and modern Accommodations
in Science Hall, is exceedingly well
equipped for scientific work.
About seven years ago Professor
Hartline, whose schedule has al
ways been a busy one, found that
it was difficult for him, unassisted,
to prepare all of the material and
to make the dissections necessary
for the biological department. He
interested three or four students OF
the physical training course in the
work, and with his assistance, they
made good headway with it. They
became good students and showed
that they were capable, occasionally
conducting a quiz in the biological
classes.
Wishing to do some research
work in anatomy, Professor Hart
line invited these four students to
Join him, and accordingly an even
ing class was started which continu-
ed for a number of years, although
as yet no space had been allotted
it on the school schedule.
The first official recognition
which was given to it by the school
authorities was when DR.. A. K.
Aldinger, who was giving the
course in physical training, decided
that some anatomical courses were
necessary. Professor Hartline' S
courses were then put upon the
regular schedule and since then,
offering two years course, the
Medical Preparatory Department
has been an ever increasing branch
of the school-with thirty students
this year.
1t is intended to prepare men Tor
further study in medicine, and IN
surgery particularly. Young wom'
en- are prepared for becoming train
ed nurses or science teachers.
1t is not in any sense intended tc
keep young men from college, fol
they are advised to take a college
course and follow this up with
study at a medical school
This preparatory course is in,
tended as substitute for the olo
way in which young men have been
wont to begin their study OF medl'
cine. Many have registered with
some physician and in return toi
doing chores and other work have
received instruction in anatomy
With this superficial knowledge,
they have entered medical schools
and have found that they were IN
sufficiently prepared for the work
This plan was found unsatisfactory,
and Professor Hartline has made
an effort 10 supply these future
doctors with the biological founda-
ton which every modern physician
must have.
