Tho exercises of tho .afternoon were given by the pupils of the primary schools and the Opera House was crowded with spectators, who, despite the 'beat of tho day which rendered tho air oppressive, listened with Interest and applause.

The Blooms burg Orchestra assisted and rendered sev eral pleasing selections during the ovening. An exchange says the importance of pub lishing tho dissolution notice In case of a change of firm is shown by a caso recently decided A note was given f-r $2,600 by a former member of the Arm, and the firm namo signed to It. This was discounted at a bank, and tho maker of the note ap propriated tbo proceeds to his own use. Being unable to collect when due, the bank sued the firm for the amount. They show ed that tho maker's connection with tho firm had ceased before he made the note, but as they had not published the notice of dissolution previous to that time, as re quired by law, judgment was rendered against them. Mrs. Phoebo Wolf died at her home on East street, Wednesday morning about one o'clock. For a number of years she has been suffering with a tumor, which physi clans said could not be removed without endangering her life.

She was about 01 years of sge. Her husband was killed by a falling tree about 83 years ago, and she with her only daughter, Annie, now Mrs. Frymire havo resided in Blooms. burg since that time. Sho was a member of St. Matthew's Lutheran church, and lead an earnest christian life. Funeral services will bo held at the residence at 12 o'clock Friday, Rcy. J, R. Dlmm officiating.

Btevekb, Tilnlty M. E. Church. Danville, Pa., May 12th, 1889. Henry C. Uaitman died on Sunday morning last, after a painful illness of sev eral weeks duration. Ho was born Sep tember 18, 1823 In Catawlssa, and was a son of Thomas llartman, and brother of Charles, Benjamin F. Jane, Wellington, William, Daniel, nnd I. W. Hartman, of whom all but Charles are Hying. When young ho learned tho chalrmaklng and painting trades, and afterwards clerk ed in J. K. Sharplcss' storo at Catawlssa. In 1848 ho opened n general storo In Bloomsburg with his brother I. W. Hart man, and tho partnership continued until 1809 when it was dissolved, I. W. continu ing tho business. In 1874 ho opened a carpet storo and conducted It until a few months ago, when ho sold out to Mr. Kelt cr. His wife, who was Martha F. Mc Clurc, survives him. The funeral took placo at tho houso on Wcdnetday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Mr. Patterson. Tho Interment was In Roscmont. Tho only house to find a full lino of Rochester ma'lo clothing best hats made is at the Popular store of D. Lowenberg. Among tho visitors nt Barnum's last Sat urday was an English tourist, wearing a check suit, a tourist cap, field glass, and the inevitable ono eye-glass and cane. Ho mingled in tho crowds everywhere, and asked all sorts of absurd questions, with the broad accent of the English dude. Just before tho performance began, ho uncer emoniously walked into the reserved seatB and sat down. An usher demanded his check, but tho dudo refused cither to show his check or leave tho seat, whereupon tho usher seized him, and rushing him down the Boats pitched him head-long over the ropes. Tho dudo was wild with rage, and protested that "you wouldn't daro to do that in England, my boy." Ho repeated the same act several times, while tho audi ence indulged In expressions of approval or disapproval of tbo roughness of the usher. 'Serves him right." the men said, while tho ladles exclaimed, "Oh, what a shame 1" Those who wero In the secret, nnd know that this was only a part of tho show, en- Joyed tho sell Immensely. The dudo sub sequently appeared In tho costumo and tawny skin of a Moor in tho Oriental pro cession. On the outskirts of tho town of Renova, Pa. lived William McNall, with his family of a wlfo and four children. When the storm of Saturday last came up ho was not at home, and terrorized by the severity of the weather the mother, with her fourllttle ones, whoso ages ranged from one month to eight years, sought safety In the cellar. After the storm had subsided neighbors, attracted by tho piteous cries of a child, entered the houso and going to the cellar found the blackened bodies of tho mother and three of the children, whllo the fourth, tho babe of n month, clasped in tho arms of its dead mother, was alive and unlnjur cd. Tho bodies wcro huddled together in tho middle of tho cellar, tho little ones clinging to their mother's dress. Tho doctors have examined tho babe and say that it suffered not tho slightest injury. During the same storm lightning struck Frcyllng'a jewelry storo at St. Mary's, ten miles below Rldg- way, and while no one was Injured tho building was badly torn and the s.ock much damaged.

A furious windstorm, accompanied by thunder, lightning nnd rain, passed over Pennsylvania, last Friday afternoon, doing much damage throughout the state At this plnco It grew so dark that lights had to be used In all tho business places. But little damago was done in this vicinity, how over. Whon tho hurricane struck Willlamsport tho performance of Barnum's Circus was under way, thero being from 15,000 to 20, 000 peoplu under tho tents. The suddenness of tho storm took the Immcnso concourso by surprise, and a fear ful panic ensued. Tho only tent that did not go down was tho big circus pavilllon. All the other tents wcro demolished in an instant, cages ot wild beasts wero top. pled over. Tho herd of elephants became panic-stricken and Bet up a tcrrlblo bellow. Ing, Hons roared and a scene of pande monium ensued. 't ho thousands ot pcoplo struggled to get out of tho big tent, women fainted and children screamed, many being separated from their parents. Tho force of tho wind lifted the poles from tho ground, and ropes and chains were snapped. Fortunately, no serious accidents oc- curred, although the numbcrrccciving scratches and bruises was quite large. - A number of tho circus performers were injured, tho most serious being tho follow ing: Ichato, Japantse, head cut and body bruised ; Miss Molllo Thompson, face crush ed by falling polo; Master Eric, French skater, rib broken; Miss Lllllo Deacon, contusion of the head ; Gus Marks, ticket seller, severe scalp wounds. Several horses were iujured, a fino stallion being so badly hurt that It had te bo killed. An antclopo was killed by tho upsetting of a cage. Manager Bailey said that the loss of property will aggregate $10,000. Near ly all tho tents were badly torn. When tho menagerie tent fell it covered the elephants and the big brutes toro their way out with tho aid of their tusks, pull. Ing up the stakes to which they wcro fast ened, They ran away from tho crowd, or many pcoplo would havo ocen trampled. Tho dressing tent was blown to atoms at the first gust and the male and female per formers suffered tho most. Several of them wcro caught in u state of nudity. Scores of booths and lemonade stands were demolished. Ilnrutiiii lu lllo in utk. Barnum was here and gono nnd several thousand pcoplo were made happy in hav ing seen the greatest show on earth Sat urday last, May 11th witnessed the greatest gathering ever In Bloomsburg. Tho early morning train over tho Bloomsburg and Sullivan railroad camo in with thrco sec tions bringing over twelve hundred pas sengers. Tho next train as well as thoso ot tho Heading railroad and D. L. & W. railroad helped to swell tbo numbers until the hour of tho parade, 10 o'clock, the streets wcro thronged with people. The parade forming tt the depot, passed up Market to Fifth street, out Fifth to East, up East to Main, down Main to Market, down Market to the show grounds. It was certainly a magnlflclent display and was highly appreciated by everybody. At half past 12 o'clock tho mammoth tents were opened and agrand rush made. There was a constant stream of people, until 3 o'clock, tho time of tho performance, every availablo scat was tiken. The press agent estimated the number ot people at over sixteen thousand, and said it was the greatest crowd they had slnco leaving Brooklyn. The entertainment was first class in every particular, and was freo from all vulgarities. Tho performing oxen, sheep, hogs nnd seals, were new features. Their acting was remarkable, leading people to believe that every animal can bo taught to do tho will of man. The twelvo trained elephants, six In each ring, la their military drill proved themselves good soldlors. We cannot go Into detail In tho matter of trapeze, acrobatic, juggling and tight ropo performances, except to an nounce that all wero first-class and the au dience highly pleased. The real Moors and Algerians with their Arabian horses, arms, costumes, tents, camels and In their acts of'danclng and acrobatic performance gavo a weird description of the lives of these people of the desert. After the per formance there was tho usual concert giv en, in which tho Bcnnet family appeared, and gave exhibition ot their skill with tbo rifle. The evening performance was attended by about five thousand pooplo. NOTES. Tho show trains left Bloomsburg for Scrantjn at midnight. In tcsring down the tent thero was a grand system shown, at the sound of tbo whistle of tho engine, all the sldo curtains fell and tn eleven minutes from that tlmo the cars wcro load cd and tho sections moved out ot tbo de pot. Mr. Bailey stated to us that the re. port given about tho damage done them at Willlamsport by reason of tbo storm, was very much exaggerated. Tho average cost of transportation for this mammoth show Is about ten dollars per mile. I'urceU to I.cuvc lloinu.

It has been our aim for a series of years to print store news that would be universally read. Our methods, being right, have succeeded. Fresh items and true statements have won and held a reading consti tuency the like of which has never before been known. Under the leadership thus created a larger truthfulness has come about, but a mass of inaccuracy in advertising still remains, which discounts the efforts of all sincere advertisers. Our interests demand unceasing warfare upon everything of the sort. But we cannot fight in detail. Every instance in which com peting goods are offered as bargains at higher prices than we cnarge regular cannot be challenged; when Sateens are stated to be more popular this season tnan ever, which every dress goods man knows to be untrue: when Mohair is called Gloriosa, or Cashmere Henri etta; when staple articles, open to all the trade, are represented as exclusive simply because of a fictitious trade-mark arbitrari ly attached; when such things as these are printed we cannot pause to contradict each mis statement. The fixed principles beneath this business are our reliance We try to make them plain and execute them. A trade trophy turns up this week. Wool Chains, 28J4 inches wide, at 25 cents. Re cently they were cheap at 37 J cents. If ever retailed less, we haven't been able to find it out. It is a worthy lot quantity enough, and that's one reason why we scooped the trade; palm figures in stripes and all over, with other patterns and color ings of sorts many. This is one of the cases in which she that buys last buys best. Stop at the crowded places in the Dress Goods acre or so and one of them is sure to be where the Colored Cashmeres are. Three lots on sale there now that will be told of in other years: 50, 65, and 75 cents. The biggest money's worth we ever knew in such goods. All the wanted shades. It's a Gingham year. They are the most asked for of all the Wash Dress Goods. We have more than a thousand styles of them. At 8 cents a yard, good, handsome dress styles. Choice stripes at 10 cents. A great variety of stripes and plaids in various colorings at 12 cents. We've had a word or two to say of the 25 cent Ginghams at 1 8c, Brand new; in twenty wanamaker's. pretty stripes, mostly clusters, fhey were excellent value at 25 cents. The regular 20 and 25 cent Ginghams arc in the best of colorings equal to Scotch, and very likely as good to wear. You know the rest; any Gingham's lovliness or excel lence that anybody has we have. And lots besides that you'll find no where else. Plaided, striped, and plain Seersuckers (not crinkles) are in high favor. Of course we have them. 12I cents. Cotton Outing Cloth. 10, 12 J, and 61c, is in stripes exactly the color contrasts you'll find in some costly stuffs. " All sorts of Outing Shoes for men. lhe new lenms Uxfords come at $2, $2.50, and $3; and Men s Copper and Ooze Calf Tennis, at $4. Light above and strong below; ideal in every way. 1 here isn't a Shoe in the lot that won't bear the closest look ing at. Tennis. Seaside and Moun tain Shoes for women are in full bloom.
