A GREAT OUTPOURING
TORS.
OF TGE VIC-
THE TOWN Am.A.F. WITH FIP.F.WOkKS.
The Democratic parade which was
announced for last Friday, was post
poned on account of the storm, until
Monday night. At that time it was
not much better, for it snowed during
the day, and the streets were muddy,
and the weather was cold and 'lamp,
but this did not deter the enthusiastic
Democrats from celebrating their vic
tory. The town was crowded car'y in
the evening, people coming in from
every direction. The 15. &S. brought
clown a special train of eight cars, "all
filled, from Jamison City, Benton, Cen
tral, and all along the line, and many
drove in from the country, Berwick,
Lightstreet, Kspy, Buckhorn, Catawissa,
all furnished a goodly number bo.h of
paraders and spectators. Decorations
were profuse along the line of march,
many residences being resplendent with
lanterns and Hags, Main street was
fai.ly ablaze. Nearly every business
house was illuminate !, snd as the pro
cession passed, red and green fires
were burned, rocketn and Roman can
dies were shot off, and the street was
one lurid glare from end to end.
Bon fires were kept going in front of I.
Maier's clothing store, and Flcckcn
stinc's Hotel. It would require too
much space to name all those who
illuminated. It would include every
democratic house a'ong the line, and
some republicans. The court house
made a fine showing, and Prothonotary
Quick filled the air with rockets, can
dles and other displays from the bal
cony. The parade formed on Market street
below Fifth, in the following order :
Chief Marshals, Dr. T. C. Harter, C.
S. Furman ; Assistants, Charles B.
Chrisman, William Housel, J. H. Mer
cer, W. B. Taylor, Robert Mc Bride,
B. Sterling ; Riverside Brass Band j
Young Men's Pattison Club of Dan
ville, wearing Clevland hats and cape
overcoats ; Benton Democratic Club
with two drum corps, with caps, capes
and torches; Bloomsburg Cornet Band;
Young Men's Democratic Association
of Bloomsburg, with silk hats, carrying
red and blue lanterns ; Citizens Drum
Corps ; Catawissa Club ; Fantastics ;
Carriages, decorated wagons, followed
by about 150 horsemen bearing torches.
The line extended from the depot to
Main street, on .Market. The parade
started at 8 o'clock and came up
Market to Main, to East, to Eighth, to
Catharine, to Fifth, to Market, to
Third, to West, to Main, to East,
countermarching to Market, and dis
missed, lasting just one hour.
No accident occurred, and the de
monstration was a great success. One
feature that attracted much attention
and afforded amusement, was a rooster
8 feet high that walked at the head of
the procession. It ii.ovjd its head
and Happed its wings. It came from
Lehanor for the occasion, and was
made by Anderson A. Seaman and
operated by Mart Mars, both of that
place. Numerous , transparencies
with appropriate lettering were scatter
ed tnrough the line. Thus ended the
campaign in Bloomsburg.

HARRAR -BERNIIARD.
A very pretty wedding took place
at St. Paul's church on Wednesday,
November 23rd at 6 o'clock p. m.
I'he contracting parties were Miss
Laura E., daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Louis Bernhard, ad Mr. Edward II.
Harrar, Superintendent of the Acme
Oil Company works in this town. The
church was beautifully decorated with
flowers. Shortly after five o'clock the
guests began to arrive at the church,
and were escorted to seats by the
ushers, Messrs. ILtrry Houck, Frank
Wilson and Samuel Bidleman of
Bloomsburg, and Robert Ilarrar of
Newark, brother of the groom. A
few moments before six the rector,
Rev. W. C. Leverett, and the organ
ist entered the chancel from the ves
try and took their respective positions.
As the town clock struck six the
sound of voices was heard in the dis
tance, and slowly grew louder until
the doors leading into the Parish
House corridor were opened and the
surpliced choir of eighteen men and
boys entered, singing the 248th hymn.
Three of the regular members of the
choir were not in their accustomed
places, but they were present in the
church, one of them being the bride
groom, another his best man, J. Lee
Harman, and the third, Harry Houck.
one of the ushers. Their places were
filled by O. II. Yetter, A. N. Yost

came the ushers, then the bridesmaid,
Miss Emma Ilarrar, sister of the bride
groom, of Newark, Miss Emma Town
send, cousin of the bride, Miss Mary
Miller, of Bloomsburg, and Miss Oli
via Fritz of Scranron. The maid of
honor, Miss Jennie Lockard, followed
alone, and then came the bride ac
companied by her father.
The gentlemen were all attired in
full dress suits. The bridesmaids wore
empire style dresses of white mull with
pink sashes, and carried pink chrysan
themums. The maid of honor's gown
was in Empire style, of pink crepe de
chenc, and she carried pink chrysanthe
mums. The bride was attired in
cream Bengaline silk trimmed with
Duchess lace, and carried roses.
As the bride reached the steps to
the chancel she was met by the groom
who with his best man, entered from
the vestry. The betrothal was read
at this point and then all advanced to
the chancel rail, where the ceremony
was concluded. At the close of the
blessing the choir sang the 247th hymn
and then the procession retired from
the church is reverse order. It was
a beautiful wedding, and everything
moved like clock work.
At 6:30 a large number of guests
repaired to Mr. Bernard's residence
on Fifth street, where a reception was
held, and refreshments served. The
house was handsomely decorated.
Numerous beautiful gifts were bestow
ed upon the bride, including silver,
cut glass, linen, pictures, china, fur
niture &c.
Numerous guests from out of town
were present.
At 8:18 Mr. and Mrs. Ilarrar left
on a tour embracing several cities,
followed by showers of rice, old shoes,
and good wishes.
EAST BENTON.
Extremely beautiful weather for the
time of year.
The fall season looks promising.
The imposter, swindler and quack
are abroad in the land, seeking whom
they devour. One i.uch quack called
upon Judge Krickbaum a short time
ago, but the Judge is too old to be
caught With quack chaff.
The bewitching girl still ply their
charming nets, and occasionally en
tangle young men in their matrimon

We understand that the Fishing
creek road machine has made one step
in advance toward public favor. It
no longer occupies the grove at the
St. James Church. It was started for
the Columbia county courts, but from
latest advices it will hardly get there.
A machine is a powerful tiling ; some
times it runs a whole county.
A copious rain, accompanied by
thunder, lightning and snow, last Fri
d iv afternoon replenished the waters
sufficiently for winter purposes.
J. O. Wilson of Bendertown, died
very suddenly last Friday afternoon.
He was a highly respected citizen,
and aged about 55 years.
The market reports as they appear
in this paper, are corrected weekly,
and can be relied upon. By an over
sight these were lifted out some weeks
ago, and not replaced, but hereafter
they will appear regularly.

BLOOMSBURG, PA., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1892,
.WILLIAM RIi; TITER TUBBS.
But few men in Columbia county were
better known than William R. Tubbs.
For ten years he wa3 the proprietor of
the Rupert Hotel, and from 1878 un
til last May the proprietor of ti c Ex
change Hotel, Bloomsburg, and he
had hosts of acquaintances, and where
ever he was known he had friends.
On last Friday afternoon at four
o'clock he died, the result of hemor
rhages of the lungs, and the announce
ment was received with universal re
gret. For Several years he has suf
fered from consumption, but his final
illness lasted only a few days. He
was married to Margaret Harman,
daughter of the late Samuel Harman
and sister of the late Jeremiah II.
Harman, in 1862, and only four weeks
ago he followed her remains to the
grave. In his affliction and illness he
was most kindly ministered to by
his sister-in-law, Mrs. F. J. Schrieb
er, and his niece, Mrs. Lizzie Fulton,
and other friends, but his days were
numbered, and careful nursing and
medical skill could not avail. The
funeral services were held at the house
on Monday afternoon at 2,30, and
were conducted by Rev. P. A. Hod
man. A number of floral tributes
were sent in by relatives and friwnd.s.
The pall-bearers were P. S. Harman,
I. W. McKelvy, L. E. Waller, A. Z.
Shoch, Joseph Ratli, and C. W. Mill
er, The attendance was lars'e, many
being present from a distance. Among
these were W. W. McEwen of Phila
delphia, J. C. Fitzpatrick of Chicago,
W. R. Fitzpatrick of Harnsburg, V.
M. Hughes of Hazleton, Dr. J. M.
Gwinner and T. W. Riley ot Centraha,
M. H. Barr and Fred M. Kelly of
Milton, H. W. Barton and II. E. Man
deville of Hazleton, S. A. Goodhne
and J. P. Hill of Jamison City, Capt.
H. J. Connor af Orangeville, M. H.
Culp, Shamokin, Brice R. Blair of Car
bondale, Mr. and Mrs. J. Barton,
Hazleton, B F. Fruit of Jerseytown,
Major Seesholtz and W. II. Rhawn of
Catawissa, W. M. Monroe, Lloyd Pax
ton, Rupert, Judge Millard, Willow
Grove.
Mr. Tubbs' age was 57 years. His
mother is living at Shickshinny, but
on account of her advanced age, 81
years, was unable to attend the funer
al. His sisters Mrs. II. M. Gor
don, also of Shickshinny, and her hus
band, and Mrs. John I Blair and her
husband, of Carbondale were present.
The subject of this sketch was a
man of genial, whole-souled disposi
tion, always ready to help the needy,
charitable to the poor, liberal to the
church, and in favor of every move
ment which in his judgment was cal
culated to benefit the community.
He has been President or director of
more corporations probably than any
other man in the town. As a friend
he was always valuable, and his word
could alwaysj be relied upon. His
death is a great loss to the community
and as the clods rattled upon his cas
ket at the cemetery, many a silent
tear was shed, and many a man felt
that the grave was closing over a tried
and true friend and an honest man.
Peace to his ashes.

JAMir.Oil CITY CLEVELAND
JUBILEE.
On Saturday last the democrats of
Stigarioaf township celebrated the
Cleveland victory in a truly democrat
ic manner. Arrangements had been
made with the B. & S. R. R. to issue
excursion tickets for the round trip re
turning after the parade. As the
train pulled out from Bloomsburg we
noticed some of our prominent
democrats all aboard for Jamison,
Chairman Mercer, Hon. Judge Ikeler,
Sheriff Mourey, J no. R. Townsend.
A. L. Fritz, T. B. Hanley, J. K. Sharp
less, IL Rhoades and others. Dele
gations were taken aboard at Light
street, Orangeville, Stillwater and Ben
ton. On the arrival of the train at
Jamison City the various delegations
were met by the Jamison City Band.
A hickory pole had just been raised,
standing one hundred and three feet
high being one the most handsome
hickory poles we have seen in many a
year.
The visitors were conducted to the
Hall and supplied with a bounteous
free lunch prepared by the Committee
and of which not less than five hun
dred must have partaken.
Among the many familiar faces we
saw there were the Fritzes and Hess
es and Coles and Kiles and last but
not least Esquire Peterman, the old
standbys of Sugarloaf democracy to
gether with many others.
The City presented a truly patriotic
appearance. The stores and private
houses were gay with flags and lan
terns, showing how heartily the citi
zens had decided to celebrate.
At 6 o'clock there was a grand
muster for the parade. Horsemen
began to arrive and torches flashed in
all directions. The Benton Demo
cratic Club in uniform and torches,
hearted by the Drum Corps formed a
prominent feature in the procession.
John Hill, Esq., was marshal and
mounted on a fiery steed he looked
resplendant in a handsome scarf and
Cleveland hat, galloping to and fro
getting men and horses in line. At
last the procession started on the line
of march up Main street to German
town. The street was now one blaze
of red fire. Roman candles, together
with the Rockets red glare showed
how the Sugarloaf Democrats, young
and old, were rejoicing, in the great
victory of the Democratic Party.
Tha procession having returned to
the Hall the speakers of the evening,
Messrs. Sharpless and Hanley deliv
ered short addresses and reviewed the
late Democratic victory in a clear and
concise style. After three che?rs for
the speaker, the procession reformed
and marched down to Central and
back.
One of the greatest sights we saw
was the illumination of Froctor Inn
far up on the mountain side. The
Hotel looked fairy-like with each win
dow illuminated, the exterior of the
building decorated with flags, bunting
and japanese lanterns showed plainly
that mine host Hill is a DemocAt of
the right kind-
The democrats of Jamison City have
reason to feel proud of the celebration,
and great credit is due those gentle
men who took such an active part in
the arrangements. We saw among
others, Messrs. Flynn, Hill, Stedman,
Phlcger, Sterner among the foremost.
Precisely at n o'clock the whistle
blew and all aboard was heard and in
a lew minutes the train pulled out
and everybody felt like giving three
cheers for Jamison City Celebration.
NORMAL SCHOOL NOTES.
The Student' Lecture Course of
the Normal School will be opened
this year with one of the very strong
est, brighest and most pi asing com
panies that it is the good fortune of
an American audience to enjoy.
THE BOSTON STAR,
accompanied by Mrs. Nella Brown
Pond, is a company of specialists.
Each one of the members has an
especial part in the programme.
Mrs Pond is recognized as the most
powerful yet the most pleasing and en
tertaining elocutionist upon the
lyceuin platform.
Mr. Charles D. Kellogg, whose
performance for absolute novelty
and genuine merit ranks him among
the very best entertainers of the day,
is simply wonderful. He is a phenom
enon and a novelty never even
dreamed of.
Miss Liila J. Low, as pianist and
accompanist has been associated with
Mrs Pond for a number of years.
Her real merit and pleasing appear
ance are sure to make her a favorite.
This talented company will appear
in the Normal School auditoruim
Saturday evening Nov. 26, at 8 o'clock.
The diagram is at W. H. Brooke &
Co's Bookstore.
It snowed and rained on Monday,
and snowed again on Tuesday.
ST. PAUL'3 PAEI3K H0TE3.
Next Sunday is die beginning of
Advent. The evening service will be
for the Sunday School, led by the sur
pliced choir. It will commence at
seven o'clock.
Evening service hereafter will begin
at seven instead of half past seven,
during the winter.
Thanksgiving services were held on
Thursday morning, and an appropriate
sermon preached by the Rectot. A
collection was taken up for St. Luke's
Hospital, South Bethlehem.
A church decorator was here from
Philadelphia last week, and met the
Rector, and members of the com
mittee on church decoration. The
interior of the church has not been
touched in twenty two years, except a
little work on the chancel. It neens
attention badly. The roof leaks in
places, and the plastering inside is dis
colored in spots. It is proposed to
do all needed repairing, and to paint
tne interior throughout, and to put in
cushions and a new carpet. When
this is done it will make the
entire property beautiful and com
plete. To do this will require $1700.
There is now a fund on hand of about
$800, so that it will be necessary to
raise $000 more. The church has no
debt at present, and none will be re
quired. Should this work be under
taken, it will require several weeks,
perhaps two or three months, to do it.
It is hoped that it can be done by
May 1893, when the parish will cele
brate the centennial anniversary of its
admission into union with the Dioce
san convention.
Boys who can read, between the
ages of 8 and 13. are wanted, who will
attend the;choir rehearsals on Thurs
day evenings and Sunday afternoons,
and learn to sing, so that they can be
ready to fill vacancies as they occur.
The choir expects to give an en
tertainment of some kind before
Christmas, to raise money to pay off a
debt still existing, arising from the
changes necessary in preparing for a
surpliced choir. It isjexpected chat the
Ladies' Guild room will be furnished
soon.
MAINVILLE-
Mr. TJ. J. Campbell is still danger
ously ill, but he is some better at the
present writing.

Miss Emma Dresher of Ringtown

with his thresher. He has a trac
tion engine, and does things up in a
hurry.
Messrs. F. P. Grover and C. Min
singer went to Buffalo on Saturday to
buy some cattle. They expect to be
gone about a week.
Among the number from this place
who took in the parade at Bloom on
Monday night, we noticed Messrs E.M.
Mauser, Geo. Shuman, Freas Bau
man and J. W. Kelchner. who are all
fine adherents to the grand old demo
cracy. 'i'he Espy ferryman seems to want
to accommodate himself, to detriment
of others, so people say. Perhaps he
only wanted to play a campaign joke
on some whom he would not ferry
across after the parade, but we have
heard of such indifference on his
part before, and for the benefit of the
public we so state it as we should
think it would not be a very pleasant
thing to spend the time waiting and
hunting in the cold for a ferryman
and then have to go some place else
to get across. The Stonytown ferry
man says he always ferries whenever
he hears the bell ring. Hurry up
with that bridge, then most of this
trouble can be saved. "
Mr J. VV, Kelchner expects to go
to Clearfield county on Thursday where
he will work at the trestling on a new
railroad.

The Daily Xewa of Nanticoke
thus speaks of Frof. William Noetling,
who was one of the instructors in the
monthly institute at that place last
Saturday. His subject wa3 school
government.
'He prefaced his remarks with a
graphic description of the old time
schools when physical force was the
prime element in school discipline.
He showed why it was necessary to
use force in these schools because
then the pupil had a total lack of in
terest in his work, School Govern
ment is more, vastlv more, than meth
ods of keeping order in the school
room. It is an important part in the
education of the citizens who are to
rule this Republic in the coming
years.
Prof. Noetling showed the teachers
some of the means of securing good
school government. He said that the
teachers must first become acquaint,
ed with their pupils. A teacher
should be a good student of human
nature. She should be thorouchlv ac.
quainted with the nature of every in
dividual child in her school. Thp
teacher should try to keep the pupils
busy for they will be less liable to be
mischievous. Prof." Noetling is an
interesting speaker and the teacher
enjoyed his address very much."
