DR.. THOMAS HAS RESIGNED.

Rev. DR.. J. D. Thomas on Sun
day evening announced to his con-
gregation in the Reformed Church
that he had received a call to a
church at Germantown, Ohio. The
announcement was a great sur
prise to his people, and has been
received by the entire community
with regret.
During his residence here DR..
Thomas has endeared himself to
many. He has been pastor of the
Reformed Church here for the past
eleven years. Before he can sever
his relations here the consent of
the congregation must first be
given, and their action be confirm
ed by the Chassis.
The church to which he has
been called is the fourth largest in
the Miami classis of the Ohio
Synod, and is a new church, not
having yet been dedicated. The
cost of the church was $50. 900 and
it is planned to have the dedication
ceremonies an occasion of greet
ing to the new pastor. He filled
the pulpit of the church on the
2Ist of March and the call was un-
animous.

T. F. FORREST DIES SUDDENLY.

Thomas F. Forrest OF New York
city has spent much time in Blooms
burg for some years past, and was
we'll known, and popular with a
large circle of friends. He was
spending an Easter vacation here,
and on Monday night attended the
ball at the Temple. On Tuesday
he was around as usual, and ap-
parently in the best of health and
spirits. He was genial companion
and polished gentleman,
1t was his strong friendship for
the Caswell family that first brought
him to Bloomsbury and the frienship
has continued for many years. He
was invited to dine at the home of
Mrs. Mary F. Caswell on Tuesday
evening. At the conclusion of the
meal he said he felt faint, and
would go outside' and get some
fresh air. Starting from the table
he staggered little, and Mrs. Cas-
we'll said she would go with him.
Before they could reach the front
door he said he believed he was
"going to have stroke" Those
were his last words. He sank to
the floor unconscious.
DR.. Miller was sent for, and did
all that medical skill could do, but
in vain. About 8 O'Clock he passed
away.
Mr.. Forrest was broker in New
York, and was a member of the
Stock Exchange, his seat there be-
ing worth $4,000 or more. His
mother died few years ago, and
he leaves no known relatives, ex-
cept some cousins.
The remains are at Mrs. Cas-
wells pending arrangements for the
funeral.

between the properties of H. J.
Pursel and that occupied by Mrs.
Titman, she was seized by man
who put his arm around her neck,
and covered her mouth and nose
with his left hand, and with his
right struck her in the face. She
fell to the ground and the villains
hand became loosened, and she gave
a scream which brought Mrs. Tit
man to the door. The man ran
down the alley.
Miss Kahler was taken into Mrs.
Titman's house and her injured
face given some care, and then went
to her home. Her father, George
Kahler, and her brother at once no.
tilted the police, who made diligent
search but fonnd no suspicious per-
