ui quaint wit anu quiet numor.
CLASS MEMORIAL
The Class memorial Iwas of an en
tirely different turn th an ever before
presented.
Instead of nutting their funds into
some perishable thing in the way of
apparatus, valuable though these al
ways are-the Class of'93 decided to leave
with the Trustees of the school, in
trust, the sum of two hundred dollars
($200.) as an endowment for the ed
ucation of poor young men and wom
en, it is indued, a most laudable me
morial and ought to be supplemented
by succeeding classes to a much great
er amount.

BLOOMSBURG, PA., FRIDAY, JUNK 30. 1S93.
DEATH'S HARVEST.
The silent reaper has been busy in
our midst during the past week, among
the old, the young, and the middle
aged. James K. Eyer.
Last week Thursday James K. Eyer
passed away at 4 o'clock, after an ill
ness of only a few hours. While out
driving before noon, he was seized
with severe pains in the region of the
heart, and on reaching home a phy
sician was called in, who did all that
was possible for his relief, but without
avail, and he died at 4 o'clock. Mr.
Eyer was conscious of the fact that
his end was near, and said he was
ready to go. He had often expressed
the hope that when his time came, he
would be taken suddenly, and not be
permitted to undergo a long illness.
His wish was gratified.
Mr. Eyer was a son of Philip P.
Eyer. He was born May 7,1817 in
Madison township, but moved to
Bloomsburg, and was engaged in the
mercantile business until within a few
years. For a half a century he has
been a prominent member of of the
Methodist Church. He will be much
missed as a class leader and active
and earnest worker.
He was twice married, his first wife
being Elmira Hollingshead who died
in 1882, leaving three children, J. W.
Eyer, Mrs. L. N. Moyer and Miss Let-
tie Lyer. I he first wife of J. baltzer
was also her daughter. In 18SS Mr.
Eyer married Mrs. Edwards of Light
Street, who survives him. The funeral
took place on Saturday afternoon, at
the residence of L. N. Moyer, the ser
vices being conducted by Rev. W. G.
Ferguson.
Mrs. A. C. Freas.
Margaret T,, wife of A. Clarence
Freas Esq. died at her home on Third
street last week Friday morning at
12.15. Her health had been some
what impaired tor some time, but she
was not considered in a critical con
dition until about a week before her
death, and only for four clays was the
end looked for. She was a daughter
of George Rothrock of Williamsport,
39 East Third street, and was born
Nov. 22, 1861. Her parents survive
her, and three sisters, Mrs. A. Praetor
ius, Mrs. William Q. Lloyd, Sarah M.
Rothrock, and one brother, Boyd P.
Rothrock, all residing in Williamsport.
Her husband and two little children
Mary Emily aged 7, and George R.
aged 5, also remain to mourn the loss
of a devoted wife and mother. She
was married to A. Clarence Freas Esq.
on February 28, 1883, and they re
sided in Berwick for oie year, and in
1884 they moved to Williamspoit and
resided there until 1888, when they
came to Bloomsburg, and have lived
here since. She was a musician of
more than ordinary skill, and also an
artist, the walls of the home now made
desolate bearing many pictures exhi
biting a remarkable talent She grad
uated at Dickinson Seminary in 1879,
and by her many attainments and
pleasant disposition she made friends
wherever she went. She was ot do
mestic habits, and her chief aim in
life was to make home pleasant and
to be a model wife and mother. She
leaves many friends to mourn her loss,
and the sympathy of the community
goes out to the bereaved family in
their great affliction. The funeral was
held at the house on Sunday afternoon
at two o'clock, the services being con
ducted by Rev. W. C. Leverett, rector
of St. Paul's Episcopal Church. The
remains were buried in Rosemont
Cemetery.
Carrie Jameson.
After a long and distressing illness,
Caroline, second daughter ot Col. and
Mrs. John Jameson, died at the Ex
change Hotel on Monday morning at
two o'clock. For more than a year
she has been a patient sufferer. She
bad a severe attack of scarlet fever,
from the effects of which she never re
covered. Although everything was
done for her thu medical skill could
do, and the tender nursing of fond
parents and sisters could provide, she
gradually failed in strength and the
ravages of consumption seized upon
her delicate frame, and death claimed
her for its own. The remains were
taken to Milford, New Jersey, on
Wednesday. The services were con
ducted by Rev. I. M. Patterson, pas
tor of the Presbyterian Church.
Ira Sayers.
Ira Sayers died at the home of his
daughter Mrs. Blasser, on East street,
last Saturday morning at 9 o'clock,
aged 84 years. He had at one time
time followed rafting, and kept a hotel
at Port Trevorton. The funeral took
place on Monday afternoon, and the
remains were buried at Afton.
Horace Gingi.es.
Mr. and Mrs. William Ginclcs of
Jcrseytown have been called upon to
mourn the loss of their son Horace,
aged seventeen years, who died last
week Wednesday night. He was a
student at the Normal School, and
was taken nek on Monday and went
re. his home. It is sun nosed that his
death was due to his going in swim
ming while overheated.
E. P. Albertson.
Elijah P. Albertson. well known in
the upper end of the county died sud
denly on Saturday afternoon at Fair-
mount Springs. He was plowing corn
in a field, when a young man named
Shultz saw him fall and went to him,
but he only breathed a few times.
His death is ascribed to apolexy. For
some years he drove the Benton stage
and was afterwards proprietor of the
Ikcler Hotel at Benton, subsequently
he built the Central Park Hotel at
Central, and conducted it for a time.
For several months he had been living
at Fairmount Springs, where his father
resides. He leaves a wife and seven
children.
Freddie Smith.
Freddie, son of Mr. and Mrs. A.
Smith who reside on Eighth street,
died on Thursday of last week, aged
ten months. He was buried on Sat
urday. Laid to Rest.
Death invaded the pleasant family
circle of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. McHenry,
of this town, last Friday morning about
9 o'clock, and called to the great be
yond their bright and promising young
son, Thomas C, aged about eight
years. He was taken ill some two
weeks ago with scarlet fever, and " de
spite the efforts of the physician and
the most devoted nursing, the bright
and promising young flower was
plucked by the great reaper and trans
ported beyond the dark river of death
to that bright land of perpetual happi
ness, where sickness is never known
and death can never enter, there to
join the loved ones gone before, and
to be the first to greet those left be
hind as they land upon the other
shore. The funeral occurred last Sun
day afternoon and after the solemn
and impressive services at the church,
the remains were tenderly and sorrow
fully laid to rest in Benton's silent
city of the dead. The bereaved par
ents and surviving members of the
family have the heartfelt sympathy of
the entire community in their dark
hour of affliction in the loss of their
loved one, but
"When the Saviour bids you enter,
Through the pearly portals wide,
lie win be the first to greet yon,
Over on the other side 1
Uappy in the Heavenly mansion.
Clothed In robes so pure aud fair,
Singing out a Joyous welcome,
You wlU meet your darling there.

WuatOoal Lands are Worth.
The Scranton Timet is responsible
for the following : The lawyers and
a few hangers on about the court room
in Scranton were discussing the value
of an acre of coal land Tuesday. One
gentleman said he considered $3,700
a good figure. Attorney Watson pooh
hooed the idea of coal land selling at
such a figure. He said he knew of a
tract of 105 acres in Jermyn, left to
Mrs. John Smith's heirs, which was
worth $1,000,000. "Twenty thousand
dollars an acre," he said, "is a small
figure for an acre of coal land." ' Dep
uty Prothonotary Kasson said that
from evidence taken in court there
was coal laud in Kingston worth $450,
coo an acre. These figures are men
tioned to give some idea as to the
value of our coal lands.
Picking To Pieces.
The evil done in this world by those
whose highest aims is to speak dis
paragingly of others cannot be estimat
ed. The chief occupation in life of some
men and women seem to be to find
some flaw in the character of others
and they are not contented unless
they are engaged in picking some one
to pieces or saying something that is
calculated to make light of another. Of
ten time we hear some one speak evil of
others and we are keen to repeat it
we delight in letting our neighbors
learn some fault that apparently ex
ists in some one living in the commun
ity. We repeat things that we our
selves do not believe is true, but others
hearing it from us, do believe it, and
circulate it as gospel truth.
L. Gross expects soon to erect a
double building on his lot on East
street. The building will be about 50
by 60 feet and each side contains nine
rooms. The building will have all the
modern improvements.
t SUICIDE.
On Thursday night of last week
James Turby of Lime Ridge hung
himself in his barn. He got ip on a
box and fastened an end of a rope to
a rafter and then probably kicked the
box from under him. He was dis
covered about five o'clock next morn
ing by his daughters. He had been
foreman at Low Bros. Lime quarry
for many years. His wife's death had
a depressing effect upon him, and he
had hinted at suicide several times.
A jury was empanelled by Coroner F.
W. Redeker, consisting of if. I. Low,
D. K. Worman, Charles McKamy,
II. W. Angle, Josiah Kromer, and
George Hughes. They found the facts
as stated above. The deceased was
buried on Monday.
The following appeal has been sent
out. It is signed by the Executive
officers of the several states.
We, the Executive Officers of the
States and Territories we respectively
represent, deem it our duty to pre
sent to the people of the United States
the following statement for their infor
mation: On the opening of the World's Fair,
May 1st, while many of the Exposi
tion Buildings were in an entirely sat
isfactory condition, exhibits were in
complete and the work of installation
had for various reasons been very much
retaided. Since that date, the Expo
sition authorities have accomplished
an immense amount of work in Jack
son Park, and the buildings ot the
great departments are complete. Streets
and walks are in perfect condition ; ex
hibits from foreign countries and the
several states and territories have been
received in large numbers and are
practically installed, the pavilions, en
trances, booths, etc., are elaborate and
beautiful and the visitor finds himself
in a bewildering maze of exhibits and
surrounded on all sides with a display
of surpassing magnificence and beauty.
In brief, the world has never seen be
fore a collection approaching it in val
ue, interest and educational features.
Forty states and territories have con
tributed $6,020,850 for the erection of
the buildings and in aid of exhibitors,
and there has been raised for the pur
pose of the Exposition, exclusive of
gate receipts, interest, and the above
amount from the States, $26,904,264.-
55-
The conveniences afforded for quick
and easy communication from one
part of the grounds to another, by the
Intramural Railway, electric launches,
and gondolas are excellent, and inval
ids and others can be transported
through the grounds and building in
rolling chairs in the most comfortable
manner.
The Midway Plaisance contains
features novel and interesting a repre
sentation of nations of the globe ot
surpassing interest.
We unhesitatingly ' affirm that the
buildings of the Exposition, State,
Territorial and Foreign will make a
visit to Chicago the event of your life.
The individual exhibits in the various
departments from the several states
and territories of the United States
and Foreign countries are of wonder
ful interest and value, and illustrate in
a remarkable manner, the growth of
the arts, sciences and manufactures.
Individual exhibitors, at very great ex
pense and sacrifice, have placed in the
Exposition Buildings, evidences of in
dustry, skill and ingenuity, creditable
in the highest degree to the artisans,
manufacturers and agriculturists of the
United States.
The reports industriously circulated
that extortion of every nature prevails
in Chicago and on the Fair Grounds
we emphatically deny from personal
experience. In numerous restaurants
in Jackson Park, the prices are no
higher than are charged for the same
variety and quality of food in other
cities of the Union.
Comfortable rooms convenient to
the Park can be secured at reasonable
rates by the day or week, with or with
out board ; and board can readily be
obtained at rates not excessive. It is
the opinion generally expressed by
those who have visited the Fair that
they were agreeably surprised not only
in the completeness, variety and ex
tent of the exhibits but in the reason
able charge for room and board.
The educational features of the Fair
and the evidences of wonderful pro
gress made in this country since its
discovery are of sufficient importance
to incite all to see the Exposition. It
is an opportunity never before given
to our people and probably never will
be again. A single admission fee of
fifty cents admits to the Grounds and
to all the Exposition Buildings proper.
We have presented fairly and truth
fully the condition of affairs at the
Exposition.

BRIEF MENTION.
About People You Know.

Dr. S. B. Arment returned from
Chicago last Friday.

Certain it is that the Argus deserv
es and merits -the patronage of the
people of the county, especially that
part lying north of Bloomsburg and
commonly designated as the "Upper
End." The Argus office is excelled
but by a single plant in the county,
that of the Columbian, and as a news
paper will stand a comparison with
any weekly journal published in this
section of the state, thus placing Ben
ton in the front rank among the lead
ing inland towns and giving to the
"Upper End" a newspaper of which
all can feel a just pride. The Argus
does not entrench upon the field oc
cupied by other papers in the county,
neither does it enter their domains to
solicit advertising at less than regular
rates merely for the sake of depriving
other journals of their legitimate patron
age. The Argus' motto is to live and
let live, but if the dog in the manger
policy is to be pursued against it, it
will assert its rights in a manner not
to be misconstrued and then "some
body will wish he hadn't done it.
Benton Argus.
A Sporting Parson.
Rev. J. R. Kashen, says a Blooms
burg dispatch to the Philadelphia
Press, is the pastor of the Swinburne,
church Columbia county. About a month
ago he bought a blooded horse with a
good record. The preacher's flock
were horrified to-day to learn that
their pastor had raced with Dr. Horn
ing for a wager. The doctor had
agreed to forfeit $200 if his horse could
not do a mile in better time than the
parson's nag. The parson won the
$200. The church members have
held an indignation meeting and ask
ed their pastor to resign or return the
money. According to Mr. Kashen
the doctor wanted to make him a
present and took this particular way of
doing it. She was taken to the insane
asylum at Tyrone. Milton Record,
June 23.
The above is badly mixed. There
is no Rev. in this county by the name
of Kashen, no town by the name of
Swinburne, and no doctor by the name
of Horning. The conclusion of the
article is not explained, the reader
must infer whether it was the preacher,
the doctor or the horse that was taken
to the insane asylum.
Col. Seely this week receiveJ a
communication from Col. Keck an
nouncing the willingness of the Ninth

Berwick this summer as was proposed

to respond to this proposition in a
substantial manner and Col. Keck,
his quartermaster, and other officers
are coming down in a few days to per
fect the arrangements. The encamp
ment will be from July 22d to the 29th
inclusive. Gov. Pattison and Staff
will be here to review the regiment
and the Ninth Regiment Band will
be in constant attendance. More
anon, Berwick Independent.
