William Trenton Creasy was born in CaUwissa township in 1856, and is a son of Nathan Creasy. His ances tors were of the earlier settlors of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, as well as of Columbia county. Some of them had taken an active part in the war of the Revolution. They were Democrats from the organiza tion of the party. Mr. Creasy is a graduate of the Bloomsburg State Normal School and has also a German education. He taucht school at the age of 16 years, and followed teaching in the winter and working on the farm during the summer for a number of years and since that time has devoted his entire attention to farming and fruit growing. He was one of the originators of the white Plymouth Rock chickens. Is now serving his fourth term as school director ; was mercantile appraiser in 1893 ; appointed chairman of the com mittee on Legislation of our county Grange, and is also its presiding of ficer. Two years ago he was appointed as a committee to ascertain ths relation of the assessed values of farm lands in Columbia county to their selling value, making the best tabulated re port up to that date on this subject. He was the author of several articles on the equalization of taxation. Mr. Creasy has always been an active Democrat and on several occasions a delegate to our county convention. He now asks the support of the Democracy for nomination to the legislature. EDWARD MARVIN TEWKSIiUKV. Edward Marvin Tewksbury, candi date for Representative, was born September 10, 1837, in Brooklyn, Susquehanna county, Pa , on a farm. His father, Reuben Tewksbury, was a native of Vermont, and his mother, Martha Cory, was from Rhode Island. Until the age of fifteen years Mr. Tewksbury attended the public schools of the township where he was born. He then took a three years' course of instruction at Harford Uni versity. He began teaching public school near Millersburg in Dauphin county, Pa., when eighteen years of age, teaching more or less each year or nearly twenty years, part of the time in connection with farming. In i860 he met with an accident, result ing in permanent physical disability, which incapacitated him for the more active duties of life. He is emphati cally a farmer, living on the farm, yet interested in other pursuits of a mer cantile character. He has filled a number of local offices in his county and was a delegate to the Democratic convention in AHentown in 1883. He was elected to the honse in 1890 and 189!, each time by a commanding ma jiity, As a candidate the last named car. ho -hud i no -opposition.

He has been greatly interested in the common school cause. Mr. Tewks bury is a Methodist and a Granger, yet his views are of the most liberal character on the rights of others, and no vote of his has ever been given for any particular class. Special Council Proceedings, Upon call of the President the Town Council met in special session on Monday evening. 1 he matter of sewerage for south west Bloomsburg was up for consider ation and discussion. On motion of Sterling and Wilson it was ordered that the sewer be repaired as it is ; that the town engineer examine and report to President what may be re quired to perfect the work ; and that the President be authorized to order it at once. He was also authorized to order enough 1 2-inch pipe to drain the surface water of Scott Town into Fishingcrcek. Mr. S. P. Townsend called the Council's attention to the advantages of his street roller. There being no further business brought before Council, on motion it adjourned. EOWDYISH. In the mazes of the giddy dance and the entanglements of drunken ness, which is apt to accompany where the public dance is a pro nounced success, ten persons were recently wounded and several knocked down during a picnic at Hazleton. Warmed up with the intoxicants that cause about nine-tenths of all the crimes committed, Mike Roman, an Italian, got knocked down while engaged in a row with some one on the dancing floor. His fall raised the ire of his fellow countryman Giovanni Perna, who drew his revolver and fired into the crowd at random. This had a tendency to check the revelry until they could count the wounded and about kill the Italian who was on the war-path. It is only the record of one more drunken row in which ten were wounded and the perpetrator about killed for doing what the devil dic tated. The Bridare Contract. Mr. Theodore K. Conner figures on a loss to the County Commissioners of $175 by their having ignored Win, Ferguson's peculiar or irregular bid for filling and riprapping at the river bridge. While Mr. Melick filed a uniform bid of 54 cents per cubic yard for all the filling and riprapping to be done, Mr. Ferguson bid both higher and lower than this. At four points his bid is higher and at three points it is lower than that of the successful bidder. According to our notion exact measurement of the work to be done can alone determine which is the lower bid and who, in consequence, is of right entitled to the contract. Can't some faithful and sympathet ic Signal Service outlook in the em ploy of the Government somehow dis cover a cold wave to report to our weather forecasters ? For thesake of their reputation please note also the velocity of the thing, so that they don't forecast it too late or too early. The Signal Service outlook who can now either generate or . discover a cold wave, or even a damp one, will be deserving of consideration at the hands of our weather forecasters be sides a good many other folks who can't afford to go to the springs or summer resorts. BLOOMSBUKG. I'A.. SAD CASE OF DROWNIBG. On Wednesday, the iSth instant, Miss Clara Bogert, of Catawissa, was drowned in Fishingcreek near Arbutus Park. She was accompanied by Miss Lucy Jacobs, who also came very near drowning. George Reed, a colored boy, saved her life, but could not res cue Miss Bogert. We are informed that the young ladies had accompanied Wm. Taylor's family who were camping out at Ar butus Park. Leaving the camp a short distance the girls wandered along the stream for recreation, and, being dressed for a cooling ofl in the water, they ventured to wade in. The current, being swifter than they appre hended, soon carried them into the danger from which Miss Jacobs was narrowly rescued and which thus sadly terminated the life of her young com panion. The shocked and bereaved parents of Miss Bogert could only take her lifeless body home for burial after being apprised of the sad mis hap. Miss Bogert having been under water some twenty minutes before her body was rescued by the aid of some B. & S. trainmen and others who were apprised of the sad event, all efforts to resuscitate her were in vain. M- W. JACKSON UEAD- Mordecai W. Jackson, a prominent citizen of Berwick, died on Wednes day morning. He was born in Ber wick, January 28, 1S15, and began life as a poor boy, but worked his way up to fortune and prominence. He was a member of the firm of Jackson 5; Woodin, President of the First National Bank of Berwick, and a trustee of the Danville Asylum. He was an associate judge of this county for a few months by appointment of Governor Beaver, on the death of C. B. McIIenry in 1889. He leaves a wife and three children, namely Mrs. B. F. Crispin, Frank R. by his first wife, and Mary by his second wife. ( If physiognomy counts for anything then there is something wild enough depicted in the facial expression of Governor Altgeld to account for his letter to the President claiming that he needed no help to maintain the peace of Chicago. If he needed no help the rational inquiry is, why did he permit the peace to be disturbed and property to be burned ? If there is a hell on earth to day we have thought for some time that all the evil influences contributing towards the necessity for it, either here or hereafter, are concentrated right there in Chicago. The wonder is that the Almighty don't open the earth and let it down to' the seething cauldron and the molten lava of the earth's in. terior. Home Again. Mr. Joseph Ratti, the principal factor of the Bloomsburg Silk Mill, having recently returned to America from a visit to the old country, was happily greeted by his employees and made the recipient of a handsome bo quet and also a serenade by the band on Monday evening.

Her husband, one son, Urbanus, and one daughter, Mrs. Jacob Hirle- man, survive, and have the warm sympathy of many friends in their atniction. President Debs, Vice-President Howard, Secretary Keliher, and Chairman Rogers are all in jail, it seems.

The breaking of a plate glass in one of the windows of Pursel & Ha man's store by ball throwers on Main street, ought to be a lesson to all who indulge in that pastime.
