Prominent among the manufacturers of Bloomsburg is the firm of Harman & 1 1 assert, Car Huilders, Founders & Machinists, and dealers in Kngines, Boilers, Steam Tumps, Steam and (las Fitters supplies and Coal. Peter S. Harmait & Geo. Hassert began busi ness, uhder the above firm name, in the year 187 c, in a small buildim? sivtv bv fifty feet, which they at that time, er-! ected on the premises they now 00 cupy. Their works was a Foundry and a Machine Shop and their busi ness consisted in the manufacture of Stoves and Plows and in repairing Agricultural implements, Kngines and Mill Gearing Sec, &c. Through careful management and close attention to business they have gradually enlaiged their capacity and increased their facilities until to-day they stand in the front, among the leading manufacturers of this section. Their Office, Foundry, Machine shop, Smith and Car Shop and Coal Bunkers cover a large area of ground on the eastern corner of the intersec tion of East street and Delaware Lackawana & Westeren tracks with a frontage of three hundred feet on Fast street, and two hundred and fifty feet on the Delaware Lackawana & West eren Railroad. They have regularly in their employ about sixty workmen busily engaged in the manufacture of Mine Cars, Mill Cars, Car Wheels and Axles, Coal Breaker and House work, plain and ornamented Building Columns. Water Pipe, Mill Gearing and all kinds of general jobbing work. On the night of the 6th of October 1888 their plant was totally destroyed by fire, but with their usual prompt ness and energy , they ' at once com menced the erection of new buildings on the site of the ruins, and in ninety days from the date of fire they were running along as usual with greater and better facilities than ever before. Their loss by fire was followed by the sudden death of Geo. Hassert who died in October 1889. Since then the busines has been conducted by the surviving member alone, Mr. Peter S. Harman, to whose perseverence and fine business qualities the success of the firm is largely due. Mr. Harman not only has the reputation of successfuly managing his own affairs but as a public spirited man and an enterpris ing citizen he ; enjoys the confidence and respect ot his fellow townsmen, who have acknowledged his executive ability, by re-electing him President of Council, which position he now holds. The business of Harman & Hassert is strongly identified with the Coal business throughout the Lacka wanna Valley where as well as else where they have won for themselves a name for promptness, carefulness and dispatch in the execution of all orders entrusted to their care.

Probably one of the most surprised bullies that ever attempted to make a game of a man now nurses a black eye and a broken nose down on the South Side, where he lives. He was stand ing in the doorway of a Grand avenue store a few nights since, talking with another tough man and leering at ev ery man and woman that chanced to pass that way, when, under the elec tric lifiht, which bids the weary way farer welcome in front of the Planking ton House, he saw what he was pleas ed to call a dude coming in their direc tion, smoking a cigar. "D'ye see the dude comin', Nisby?" he said to his companion. "Yes, an' I tink it's a dirty shame dat he is spoilin' dat nice cigar when he is only fit to smoke cigaretts." "Dat's a fact, me boy, an' I'm blam ed if I intend to stand it." 'What are you goin' to do about it ?" "Just wr.tch me, an' if I don't have that cigar inside of a minute den I'll eat me hat, dat's all." As the young man drew near the bully stepped from the door, and ap proaching the unsuspecting pedestrian said : "Say, me lad, let me take your cigar, will you ?" The young man, thinking that the fellow desired a light knocked the ash es off his weed, and handed it to the stranger, who, with a smile, placed it between his teeth. "What do you mean by that ? asked ' the astonished young fellow as he saw : the use his cigar had been put to. "Oh 1 dat's all right, bub," said the . tough man : "dis is a pleasant little way that I have when time hangs hea vily on my hands. Run on home now or your mother will be worried, see ?" "Yes, I think that I see," replied the young man, as he stepped up in front of the loater, "but, strange as it may seem, my mother is not in the habit of getting worried, and there is no occasion for my shortening my stay with you. Besides, I, too, have a pleasant little way of my own to pass away the time when the same hangs heavily upon my hands. It is some thing like this" In another moment the bully was stretched out on the sidewalk with one eye closed, and when he arose a blow on the bridge of the nose once more laid him out. The young man whom he had sized up as a dude turned out to be one of the crack boxers in the gvmnasium, and two blows of his scien tific fisc had been sufficient to put the tough to sleep.

AN IMPORTATION OF DF.SrONF.RS OF LADIES C.OWNH. WHAT THE ENTER PRISE OF AN INTERNATIONAL FASH ION MAGAZINE HAS DONE FOR ITS READERS. New Youk, April 18 Among the cabin passengers who arrived from Kurope to-day by the steamship "La Bourgogne," were fourteen Parisian designers of ladies' fashionable gowns. These artists have been engaged by the enterprising managers of The New York and Paris Young Ladies' Fashion Bazar, to contribute exclus ively to the columns of that popular magazine. All of them are well known in New York, for their reputations have preceeded them. Mrs. Astor, the Vanderbilts, Mrs. Cleveland and Mrs. Marshall O. Roberts are among the society leaders who have worn gowns designed by these artists. During an interview with a reporter one ot the designers said: "Paris still leads the world of fashion although Eugenie no longer sits on the throne. Parisian gowns have a style about them that cannot be equaled. That, I suppose, is the reason why we have been engaged to come to America to teach the ladies of your beautiful country, through the columns of The New York and Paris Young Ladies' Fashion Bazar, how these wonderful creations of the dressmakers' art are constructed. It is our busi ness to design the handsomest and most fashionable gowns for the differ ent seasons of the year. These designs will be printed in colors and will be accompanied by such clear instructions as to the selection of materials and the cutting and fitting of the garments that no woman of sense will have the least difficulty in making perfect-fitting gowns herself. It is a knack, a science to fashion a gown that will make a very small and fleshy lady appear slim. Not one designer out of a thousand can hit upon the true lines unless he makes it a study of Ja life time. You ought to see the May number of our Magazine. We have designs in it that will take the hearts of the ladies by storm. They do not get a new dress made up every day, and I can tell you it is an important item to get the best magazine, and the very latest and most exquisite Paris styles, and have it fashioned like the one that is best suited to their figure! Fourth of July Exoursion to Gettysburg via Pennsylvania Eailroad. The widespread interest which cen tres in the Battlefield of Gettysburg has induced the Pennsylvania Railroad Company to arrange a general excur sion to that point from all principal stations on its systen on July 3rd and 4th next. Not only the fact that this day is a national holiday renders the date appropriate, but it is at the same time the twenty-eighth anniversary of the great battle. Independence Day is also a tavonte date for the visit of veterans to the field, and there are al ways ceremonies of interest to civilians as well as soldiers. On this occasion tickets will be sold from all principal stations on the Pennsylvania System on July 3rd and 4th, valid for return until July 6th. The rates which will prevail are exceedingly low. Round trip tickets will be sold from New York at $5, Philadelphia at $3, Washington at $3, Canandaigua $7.50, Pittsburg $7.50, and at proportionately low fig ures from other stations. The regular train service will be a vailable in most cases, but special ser vice may also be provided, due notice of which will be published later.
