The Opera Houie and Court Houie both tilled at tha doting demons, tration ot tha Campaign. ' Last week Thursday night the Democrats had their closing meeting of the campaign in Bloomsburg. A week before, the leaders were assured that William M. Sinnerly and Attorney General Ilensel would be here, and the County Chairman. William Chris man Esq. ro announced by hand-bills and through the newspapers. That these gentleman did not get here was no fault of Mr. Chrism an or Senator Herring or anybody else in Blooms burg, as every possible effort was made to bring them here and it was not until late in the afternoon of that day that it was known they would not be here. We are informed that it was their intention to come, but they were prevented by unforeseen occur ences. Several speakers with Mr. Singerly'i party were obliged to go home, some of thsm being exhausted in body and voice by making five or six speeches a day in the open air, and when they reached Wilkes-Barre on Thursday afternoon it was found that Mr. Singerly must go to Scranton and Mr. Hensel to Ilonesdale. Gov. Pattison came up from Harrisburg by special train to speak at Wilkes-Barre that evening, though suffering from illness. Collector Herring went up in the morning and succeeded in secur ing the services of James M. Beck Esq. of Philadelphia, and with Thomas Collins, candidate for con gressman-atlarge they came down on the Pennsylvania road, reaching here at seven o'clock in the evening. They were met by a reception committee consisting of Hon E R Ikeler, John R Townsend, Joseph Ratti, J. K. Lockard, W. H. Rhawn, R. Buck ingham, Louis Cohen and Chairman Chrisman, with W. Hartzell's hand some gray four in hand and barouche for the speakers, and numerous other vehicles. As they came down Main street there was a magnificent display of rockets 'and red fire. After supper at the Bloomsburg Club House, a meeting was organized at the Opera House with the following officers : President John G. Freeze, Vice Presidents Jas. Quick, C. B. Rob bins, John Kelly, J. C. Rutter Jr., A. V. Kressler, Amos Wanich, Wm. Dietrick, John G. McHenry, Daniel McHenry, C. A. Kleim, F. R. Car penter, Hiram Manning, Jos. Ed wards, N. U.

Elwell, Wm. Krickbaum, C. E. Randall and W. H. Smith. The Hall was packed to the doors, and the Court House was thrown open for an overflow meeting, and here too every teat was occupied . Mr. Beck was escorted to the Opera House by Messrs. Mercer, Rhawn and Buckingham, and was introduced by Col. Freeze. He was greeted with great applause, and he made an admirable address. He is one of the foremost orators of the State, and his speech was scholarly and eloquent, and he held the close attention of the vast audience for over an hour. It is too late now to attempt to repeat any of the telling points that he made. His argument bristled with points from start to finish. Fred Ikeler Esq. followed him in a brief address, in the usual well known eloquent style of our pop ular young townsman. Mr. Beck was escorted to the Court House where Senator Herring had been making one ot his vigorous bombardments of the citadels of Republicanism for an hour, and spoke for about twenty minutes. He was then taken across the river again, and returned to Wilkes Barre by special train. The stage at the Opera House was beautifully decorated with flags and palms, and a large mound of roses rested on the the speaker's table. Prof. Elwell's orchestra was present, nd interspersed the proceedings with several of their choice selections. The B. &. S. train was late, not teaching here until nine o'clock. It brought several hundred people, and the Benton Band. A babe a few months old, of Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Barrett of Cambra, Q'ed of cholera infantum last Sunday. It was buried at New Columbus on Wednesday. The first now storm of the season Began on Wednesday night. NO 45 A BRILLIANT WEDDING.

It is a peculiar qualification to make a good police man, while some do others never do, their disposition to shirk a positive duty being in the way on the one hand, and their disposition on the other hand to rush slight offenders rashly and cruelly into trouble because of the absence of danger and because they can do so with impunity. The good policeman is brave enough to tight for peace and good order if need be, and man enough to do no un necessary fighting. Mr. Knorr fills the bill. An Influential Han Dead. On Friday of last week Rev. Heil man of the Lutheran church was call ed to the bedside of his father Abram Heilman, near Muncy. For four yews he had been confined to his bed by rheumatism, which was the immediate cause of his death. Mr. Heilman was a faithful member of the Lutheran church and was well known as an active Christian worker both in Church and Sunday School and wan a frequent representative in Synodical meetings. His death occurred on his 75th birth day and his burial on election day in the Valley Church yard N near his late home. The funeral service was con ducted by Rev. F. A. Koser his pastor and Rev. A. W, Lentz, of Millerville. He leaves to mourn his loss three children and a widow. Ou Wednesday afternoon the 31st ult. Miss Mary Catharine Boone, of Afton, was united in the bonds of wedlock to Mr. J. Edwin Pague, of Carlisle Pa. Rev. Stevens performed the interesting ceremony in the pret ence of rrany invited guests. Miss Shoemaker, of Philadelphia, and Miss es Katie and Ella Vastine, of River side, were the bridesmaids, while a brother of the bride and a brother of groom officiated as attendants. The occasion was a most brilliant and happy one and was witnessed by many from Bloomsburg. The season for street sprinkling has closed and E. J. Brown has housed his sprinkler for the winter. His work has given excellent satisfaction to his patrons, and the streets have been freer from dust than ever before. Mr. Brown has a good strong team, and during the winter he is prepared to do hauling for any one who may need his services. The Normal and Bloom teams will play foot ball on Saturday afternoon at Athletic Park. BRIEF MENTION About Peoplt You Know. Mrs. W. II. Slate ii in Philadelphia this week. Mr. R, Voris was a Bloomsburg visitor on election day. James Cndinan is seriously 111, and his re covery is doubtful. Mr. J. I. Campbell, of Fishingcreek, was a welcome caller at this office on Wednesday. C. W. Low, of Orangeville, paid Blooms burg a hasty visit, on Tuesday afternoon. Mr. John Alstadt, of Erie, is visiting friends and relatives of this vicinity. Lee Martin, clerk in J. G. Well's store, Caul his first vote on Tuesday. Mrs. Ernest N. Perrin and son are visit ing at Mr. Fi P. Drinker's. Miss Mary C. Beers is again at home after recent visit to Lightstreet. Mrs. C. M. Vandcrslice is very ill with consumption, and she is growing weaker daily. J. L. Dillon and Geo. Runyon are in Philadelphia this week attending the chrys anthemum show. Rev. P. A. Heilman, theopu!nr Lutheran preacher of Bloomsburg went to Muncy last week to visit his sick fattier who has since died. I Ion. E. M. Tewksbury was in Bloomsburg on Friday, after an extended tour in the in terest of the Democratic party. Miss Anna Hasaert has been visiting her sisters, Mrs. Eralh of Wilkes-Barre, and Mrs. Sleppy at Kingston. Stephen Dresher and daughter, Miss Jose phine of Stillwater, listened to the demo cratic speeches here last Thursday night. Mr. and Mrs. Brayton anticipate a trip to the West Indies in the near future. Mr. Brayton will enter into business there. A. J. Derr and his venerable father Judge Iram Derr of Jackson township, spent last Thursday in town, and remained over night to attend the democratic meeting. Mr. Myron I. Low and a friend from Lime Ridge, took a trip up the creek last Saturday. They returned in the evening with a fine lot of pheasants. Mrs. Woodin and Mrs. Ilanly of Berwick, who sailed for Europe recently, will spend the winter in Nice. They expect 'to return home next May, Postmaster Chalfant, Geo. W. Miles and M. Ellenbogen of Danville were among those who came up from that place last Thursday night to attend the Democratic meeting. Judge Elwell rode up to the polls on Tues day and cast his ballot the sixty-sixth time at a fall election. He remarked to the board that during that time he had been on the winning side about half the time. A recent letter from Woodin Hanly states that he has sailed from Melbourne, Australia, and will touch at twenty or more ports be fore landing at London. From there he will sail for home. Col. Jameson came home last Saturday and remained until after election It was through his efforts that Thomas Collins was placed on the Democratic ticketior congress-man-at-large, and the Colonel was very much interested in his receiving a good vote. Prof. J. II. Kurzenknabe, of Harrisburg, well known as a director of music at camp meetings about here, and at present presi dent of the State Music Teacher's Associa tion, has recently received a certificate from the London College of Music and which or ganization he will hereafter represent in this section. The experience of last Tuesday evening has clearly shown that the court-room is not the place to receive election returns. The room was crowd ed full of members of all parties, and a noisy gang of boys who ought not to have been ullowed there. Every body smoked, and chewed and spit, and stood on the seats, and the next morning the room presented a sorry spectacle. It is eminently proper that the court-house should be used by the public for public gatherings such as lectures or speeches, where good order is maintained, and cleanliness observed, but there is too much ex citement on election night, ana every ihinK goes. It is proper to sav that the commissioners permitted the use of the court-room at the request of the chairmen of the two county com mittees. Hereafter it is likely that each party will receive the news in its own hall, and neither of them will use the court room. Dr. McReyno'ds showed us a fine pear recently, of the Keefer variety, that his tree produced this year. It was quite equal to anything we ever saw from California. It weighed just one pound. ' A, visit to Dillon's chrysanthemum house will be enjoyed by all lovers of beautiful flowers. One house several hundred feet long is devoted to the culture of these popular plants, and they are now in full bloom, in numer ous varieties. A remarkable case of longevity is that of Mrs. Mary Walker, of Easton, Pa., who lived to be 104 years and 1 day old. She died on the morning of the 6th instant ; her husband William Walter, having died on his seventieth birthday 33 years ago. He was a soldier in the war of 181 j. Seven of Mrs. Walter's children survive her. Seeing is believing. A CRASH in the A well known fact we do more business" with less expense than any other firm in this section. $5.00 CLOTHING BUSINESS.
