John Yorks, one of the oldest resi
dents of the northern part of the
county, passed quietly from this life to
that which is to come, early Thursday
morning July 16, 1891. He has been
dangerously ill for some time and his
death was not unexpected.
Mr. Yorks was born in New Jersey,
May 5, 1807 and was, therefore, 84
years 2 mos. and 11 days old. In
1828 he commenced working on the
canal and railroads until 1839. when he
settled near what is now Waller clear
ing up the farm himself and continu
ing to work on it for over fifty years.
His wife, Lucy, daughter of Daniel
Ashelman, died about two years ago.
They were the parents of twelve child
ren, three of whom died in infancy.
Those surviving are Martin, who is in
Virginia ; Wesley, a carpenter lives at
Hughesvflle ; Emanuel, owns and
works an adjoining farm; Emeline
lives near Bloomsburg ; Adaline and
Franklin, who live and work on the
old homestead ; Sutton owns an ad
joining farm ; Peter lives at home part
of the time and works in the woods ;
and Martha, wife o" John Hartman
lives on an adjoining farm.
The funeral was held in the Union
church at Waller on Saturday, and not
withstanding the heavy rain was largely
attended. Rev. John Sutton of Still
water preached from Gen. 3, 19, "Dust
thou art, and unto dust shalt thou re
turn. Mr. Yorks was a member of the
Christain church, a hard working,
rough, outspoken man, yet in his way
kind, generous, and hospitable.

vantage of it.

one of the most famous resorts in the

SCHOOL BOARD.
There was a meeting of the School
Board last Friday evening when the
committees made their reports. The
committee on building and grounds
reported having inspected the building
and recommended placing a storm
door at Fifth street building, also a
three basin wash stand in both Fifth
and Third street. The committee
found but little repairing to be done,
the building having been kept in good
condition Committee on text books,
&c, reponed having completed the
work of arranging the course of study
and received bids for its printing from
all the offices in the town, The
Sentinel being the lowest bidder the
contract was awarded to them, with
instructions to print 1000 copies. The
committee on supplies through its
Chairman reported having received
bids for furnishing coal from five of
the coal dealeis. The contract was
awarded to H. V. White & Co. Wm.
Thomas appeared in behalf of the
Junior American Mechanics and
asked if the Board would accept of
flags for the Fifth and Third street
buildings. The board signified its
willingness and Mr. Thomas stated
that flags would be ordered and be in
readiness at the opening of the
school. The next meeting of the
School Board willl be held Friday,

Of thirty-nine newspapers printed in
this State whose attitude regarding a

in favor of it are Republican, five Dem

those opposed twenty are Republican,
six Democratic, and one Independent.
This appears to be a pretty fair indica

time.
Mr. Tokeo Noya, a native of Japan,

interesting. The public is invited.
George Williams, son of Harry Wil
liams, aged about twenty years, ' met
with an accident at the trestling at
Neal's Furnace Friday of last week
resulting in his death Wtdnesday
evening. He was walking on a plank,
that broke, throwing him backward.
He fell only about ten feet, but
received internal injuries.
What is the matter with pushing
along the carpenter work on the in
terior of the Court House ? The
present torn up condition of things is
a great inconvenience to the public,
and the building should be hurried
along as fast as is consistent with
good workmanship, without further de
lay. The body of a defunct and odorifer
ous cat lies untombed in the alley
back of the Exchange stable. Whether
little Johnny Green put her there or
not, we are not informed, but if it be
the duty of any town official to remove
such offenses to the human nostrils,
he will be doing a good thing for the
public by an early performance of his
functions.
Go to Jackson's circus next Monday.
OOLLECT IT AGAIN-
In the Council proceedings of July
15, under list of bills and orders we
find the item, "John & Lazarus, un
paid tax, $4.80." Upon inquiring we
ascertain that Mr. Lazarus appeared
and stated that he thought they had
been twice assessed for 4 vacant lots
once for $750 and again for $800.
He claimed exoneration for the $8
00 valuation which at last year's 6 mill
rate was $4.00. The town council
evidently accepted the explanation,
without going to the assessment book
to make inquiry and thereupon direc
ted an order of $4.80 to be drawn to
refund the amount. An examination
of the assessment books, however, show
a different state of things. In 1888
the triennial assessors' returned prop
erty of James Barton estate located
on Seventh street, east of U. H. Ent,
as 4 vacant lots, valued at $800; and
property of John & Lazarus on South
Main, Scott town, 4 vacant lots $750,
In 1 8S9 the assessors returned proper
ty of John & Lazarus, located on Sev
enth street, east of W. H. Ent, bought
of estate of James Barton, 4 vacant
lots, value $800. Hence John & Laz
arus were assessed for two properties
each of 4 vacant lots one located on
South Main street, at $750 and the
other on Seventh street, at $800. If
the Council refunds the tax on the va
cant lots on Seventh street, then the
property is not taxed.
According to the deed book the
property was conveyed from the James
Barton estate to Caleb Barton. The
Council should proceed at once to
charge the same against the property
and collect from the property owner.
The error evidently arose from the
assessor not understanding who was
the real owner. The mistake should
be corrected now to avoid any further
annoyance.
A Good Show.
J. L. Jackson's circus exhibited at
this place to two good audiences yes
terday, and although unheralded by
any unusual display of advertising,
they succeeded in giving an entertain
ment so clean and bright that it has
rarely been equaled in a 25 cent show.
The performances were first-class and
would put to shame some of the more
pretentious shows. The feats of
strength and daring by the Morello
Brothers were by far the best ever seen
in Leechburg, while the performance
upon the bouncing rope by Sig. Dau
det was quite a feature. The show is
conducted on an honorable basis, and
they are a well behaved respectable
people.
The troupe of performing dogs is
excellent ; Valvo, on the slack wire, is
grand ; and Bobby Mack, the come
dian, is funny. The concert part is
also excellent, and won plenty of mer
ited praise The management have
gathered a company of real artists, and
we commend them to the amusement
going people everywhere. Leechburg

will have charge of the meeting. There
will be no Sundav trains.
In another column we publish Or
dinance No. 57 prohibiting hawking
and peddling in the town of Blooms
burg. The ordinance should have
gone further and included other mer
chandise as well as that of groceries.
Why should the dealers in lamps, glass
ware, silverware, or the printer be ig
nored. Hundreds of dollars are sent
out of town annually to supply printed
stock, when the work could be done at
home, just as well, and at as low
prices. If the ordinance is to benefit
the citizens of Bloomsburg then let it
include all business and impose a pen
alty or license upon those who regu
larly canvass town for supplies.
M. M. Phillips & Son have power
