The New York World of last week Wednesday, gives the following account of a wedding which is of interest to Bloomsburg people : "Over 1,000 invitations were is sued for the wedding of Miss Grace E. Kelley, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Kelley, of 680 Greene Avenue, to Mr. Frank Linton Patter son, of Boston, which took place last evening in the Tompkins Avenue Congregational Church, and long before the appointed hour of eight the building was crowded to its utmost capacity. Promptly at the hour named the bridal procession entered the church. The arrangement was novel. Six ushers entered by the central aisle to the vestryroom door and there met the four bridesmaids. Then they proceeded up the aisle again and met the b-idc with her father and attend ed by the maid of honor. All proceeded to the altar, where the service was read by the Rev. I. M. Patterson, of Bloomsburg, Pa., the father of the bridegroom, assisted by the Rev. Dr. Meredith, uncle of the bride. The bride is a petite brunette, and wore a becoming gown of white satin, richly trimmed with point and duchesse lace. Miss Pauline Totton was the maid of honor, and the bridesmaids were Miss Evangeline Kelley, Miss Edith Bergen, Miss Elizabeth Smith and Miss Maud Patterson, of Bloomsburg, Pa. The maid of honor's gown was of pale blue si'k, while the bridesmaids were costumed alike in white mousselaine de soie, over white silk. They all carried bunches of white carnations. The best man was Mr. Warren Rue Kinsey, of Newark, and the ushers were J. Howard Patterson, of Blooms burg, Pa., ; J. Willis Fox, of Passaic, N. J. 5 Gilbert Harvey, of Providence, R. I.; W. Egbert Thomas, of Mil ford, N. J. ; Daniel Babbitt, of Mor ristown. N. J., and Charles Cooley, of Philadelphia, Pa. Mrs. Benjamin Kelley, the mother of the bride, wore a beautiful gown of lavender satin, heavily trimmed with point and duchesse lace. The mother of the bridegroom was equally handsomely attired in black satin. A large reception followed the ceremony, held at the residence of the bride's parents. The parlors were exquisitely decorated with banks of maiden-hair fern and American Beauty roses, and tall palms swayed gent'y in the various cor..ers. Weir was the decorator. The wedding souvenirs were very dainty ; the bridesmaids received handsome gold laurel, wreath pins, ard the ushers canes of natural wood with silver filigree handles. The bride received a magnificent diamond daisy from the bridegroom, and presented him with a diamond ring." HAVE QUIT BUSINESS. The Mutual Savings & Loan Co , 10th and Walnut streets, Philadelphia, Pa has dropped into that oblivion which was predicted early in the sum mer. The concern was claimed to be an incorporation under the laws of Virginia, and was organized early in the present year and was formed for the purpose of issuing profit sharing investment certificates on the principal of building and loan associations. The officers were : Allen Middleton president, Wilmer M. Higby secretary and Joseph S. Lindsay, treasurer, but they were succeeded by others, it seems, as a different list was given on the letter heads of the company. The scheme was to issue certificates of $100 par value to members, and each was compelled to pay a yearly mem bership fee and weekly assessments before being eligible to borrow from the company. The concern could not have been successful in its venture, as reports say that letters addressed to it are returned to writer with the indorsement that it has " gone out of business." That it succeeded in mulct ing the publishers, in the face of cautionary reports, is proven by the fact that claims against it are received for collection. Corn. Union. BLOOMSBURG FAIE. .

The Thirteenth Annual Convention of the Pennsylvania State Sabbath School Association will be held in Huntingdon, October 9-1 1. It prom ises to be one of the most interesting and important Sabbath School Con ventions ever held in our State. The Hon. Robert E. Pattison, Governor of Pennsylvania, will open the Con vention with an address, on Tuesday evening, October 9. The sessions of Wednesday and Thursday will be devoted to the discussion of the best methods of advancing the interests of the Sabbath School work of our State, and to add'esses, conferences and normal classes.

Miller, Sabbath School Secretary of the Reformed Church in the United States, the Rev. C. R. Blackall. editor of the Sabbath School periodicals of the Baptist Church j the Rev. E. Morris Ferguson, General Secretary of the New Jersey Sabbath School Associa tion ; Miss Juliet Dimock, of New Jersey, one of the most successful Primary Class teachers of the day, and the Hon. John Wanamaker, Superintendent of the largest Sabbath School in America, who will make two addresses, one of them upon " The Successful Superintendent." In addition to this long list of leading Sabbath School workers who will attend the Huntingdon, Conven tion, you will be glad to know that B. F. Jacobs, Esq., Chairman of the International Executive Committee and President of the World's Sabbath School Convention, has nromised to be present during the entire Conven tion, to tane sucn part as may be deemed advisable in addresses, confer ences and discussions. Northumberland Bautist Association! The Baptist meetings last week were well attended and successful. Very nearly 200 Baptists from out of town were in attendance. The series of meetings was said by the delegates to be one of the best held in recent years. The officers were Prof. W. E. Martin of Lewisburg, Moderator; Rev. J. T. Judd of Lewisburg, Clerk ; and S. H. Burrows of Picture Rocks, Treasurer. Sermons were preached by Rev. W. H. Ellis of Jersey Shore, and Rev. F. S. Dobbins of Philadelphia. Addresses were made by representa tives of national and State Societies. A very interesting meeting was held Thursday evening in the interests of Young Peoples Societies and work. Two new churches were received and five new pastors were welcomed. The number of baptisms reported for last year was 358 ; total merabersship, 4,796 5 total money raised $47,290.00. lhe Association will meet next year in Jersey Shore, and Rev. G. E. Weeks, of Bloomsburg, was appointed to preach the doctiinal sermon. lhe delegates were favored with delightful solos by Mrs. Rev. A. H. Smith, of Berwick, and Miss Ida Falls of Williamsport. The singing of the Y. M. U A. male choir on Thursday evening was very much enjoyed. the drill of the Berwick Baptist Boys' Brigade, on Market Square, was very good and was witnessed by many. The significance of this work was probably understood by only a few who saw the drill. It is not a company simply for military practice, but all of those boys are pledged against strong drink, tobacco, and impure language, and must attend Sunday School. Rev. J. G. Miles, who in 1841 preached the first sermon ever deliver ed by a Baptist Minister in this town, was present at the meetings. Ali the delegates were entertained by Baptist families except a few who stayed with special friends. Rev. P. A. Heilman and Rev. C. H. Brandt were present at some 01 the services. Another Industry. The bicycle having evidently come to stay among us, we now also have a shop for repair and manufacture, it is well to know, on the coiner ot Fifth and West streets in southwest Blooms burg. The title of the establishment is "The Bloomsburg Cycle Works." It is now in full operation manufactur ing and repairing. The firm also does enameling and nickel plating when called for. They are now at work on a double diamond tandem, prepara tory for the coming fair. It is some thing new.

About 60 men are emnloved when the works run at full capacity, as at present. Oak is the principal material used and it is cotten from western Pennsylvania and West Vir ginia. A PAIR PAIR. It is generally so ; hence its general popularity. If it lives and thrives while others die in their weak attempt we attribute it largely to the fairness of the fair. With Darwin we believe in the survival of the fittest fairs, and we particularly call attention to the longevity and present good health of the Columbia County Agricultural gociety. Upon examination it will be found to be round, fat and sleek just like the animals and things it ex hibits. TL his fair would deem it un fair to put a poor skinny and bony thing of any kind on exhibition ex cept of course its race-horses which are mere incidental introductions to please the children and others pos sessed of abnormal tastes and appe tites. Don't forget the big Columbia County fair. It will be held at Blooms burg, Pa., October 9th to 13th, 1894. It is the long looked for event of the season, after the bounties of nature are gathered in Columbia County. Here the choicest of fruits, vegetables, and grain are exhibited. Here the best poultry, cattle and horses are exhibited. Here the ladies display their finest handiwork from parlor to kitchen and from garret to cellar. In fact an immense building, filled with beautiful specimens of ladies' handi work, and the finest of the labors of agriculturist and horticulturist is here opened daily for the edification of all. Here also may be seen hotly con tested exhibitions of speed on Wed nesday, Thursday, Friday and Satur day, on the finest half-mile race track in central Pennsylvania. $2,600 in purses is the money inducement to competitors. The bicycl races on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday will certainly attract. Excursion trains and special rates on the several rail roads. Consult the special time tables. THE BAND CONCERT. Last Saturday evening the Band gave their first concert under their new leader, Mr. Ktt nger ot Milton. It was given m froni of the Court Hou.e, and the street was thronged with peop'e. A marked improvement is already apparent. The boys get better tones out of their instruments, and play with more precision and accuracy, and with expression. All that they have needed was a compe tent leader, and now that they have one, they can stand up with any band m this end of the State A brick pavement has been laid along the Waller land on Market street, from the railroad to h. ti Tustin's property, and Ohio stone along Mr. Tustin's and Mrs. Miller's lots to the canal.

R., is willing to run a train as far as Orangeville after the lectures provided any one will give him a guarantee of a reasonable num ber of passengers. It is difficult to estimate the cur tailment of profits that used to accrue to steam railroads through the pres ent use of the electrical current and the convenient little bicycle. It is pretty safe to conclude, lio-.vevcr, that steam railroad stock has reached its maximum and that the dividends heretofore declared to holders will never again be equaled in this country, Street.
