LAW ALL. 0n of Bloomsburg't Most Worthy and Highly Rotpoctcd Citizens Diet Suddenly nd Unexpectedly. John J. Lawall, one of Bloomsburg s most highly respected citizens, died at his home on Third Street, Monday morninj; apout 2 o'clock. The news of his death was a surprise to nearly all of his friends, as scarcely amy one knew that he was sick. About two weeks ago he contracted a cold, end whilst he was obliged to remain in the house, no one realized or sup posed that it would be the cause of his death. During the few days immediately preceeding his death he apparently was much better, and contemplated teturning to the store in a few days, but that man proposes and God disposes " was clearly shown in this case. The immediate cause of his death was heart failure. Mr. Lawall was one of the best known men in our town, being a druggist of high repute, and unquestioned ability, and having since 1875 been in the employ of MoyerBroi. During these years he has not only seen their business double in volume, but the town grow from a village, to one of the most prosperous boroughs in Central Pennsylvania. By his death Moyer Bros, lose an assistant whose place it will be exceed ingly difficult to fill, in all probability they will never be able to find an all around man, who understands the details of the various departments as did Mr. Lawall. He was fifty three years of age, and leaves to survive him a wife, who has been an invalid for several years, and two sons, Charles, who is in the employ of the wholesale drug house of Smith, Kline & C. at Philadelphia, and Harold, who resides at home. He was a loving and affectionate husband and father, a public spirited citizens and had the confidence and respect of all who knew him. The funeral services were held this afternoon at 2 o'clock P. M. and the intetment was in the Rosemont Cemetery. Rev. P. A. Heil man officiated. THE CHURCH'S TRIBUTE TO MR. J. J. LAWALL. . The following testimonial of ap preciation was adopted by a rising vote of the congregation of St. Matthew's Evan. Lutheran Church on Wednesday evening Feb. 18, 1896, after which a tender prayer was offered by the Pastor for the bereaved family amid the tears of a large congregation u A great sorrow has come upon us and a great loss to the church in the sudden and, to us, untimely death of our treasurer and member of the council, Mr. John Lawall. As a congregation we desire to place on record our high esteem of Bro. Lawall both as a man and fellow Christian. He was a man of Peace, and ever labored to keep the peace of Zion. He has been a member of St. Matthew's Lutheran Church in Bloomsburg since Jan. 18, 1885. Prior to that both he and his "wife were members of the Lutheran Church in Allentown. April 1, 1894 he was elected a member of the church council by the unanimous vote of the congregation, at which time he was also chosen treasurer and the same faithfulness that characterized him in business he observed as steward of the Lord's money. Scrupulously exact and honest, and courteous, as a banner bearer in the church we greatly mourn his loss and bring the loving tribute of warm affection and appreciation and place it on his bier, and though we mourn his death in the prime ot life, we bow our heads in humble submission to the will of the Great Head of the Church, who will not suffer His work to fail though the workers fall, and tenderly commend his bereaved ones to that Friend who is able to comfort and that Father who pities with infinite tenderness and love."

Among the latest improvements is a telephone. The appearance of the interior of the store has also been changed for the better. It has been stocked with a fine line of fresh confectionery and a handsome Japanese screen separates the ice cream parlor from the store room. Everything is neat, clean and in first J class order. BLOOMSBURG, PA., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY THE CHAMPIONS DEFEATED. The game of last Friday evening, in which the Pittston Y. M. C. A. team was defeated by the Normal boys, was a notable one. It cannot fail to place the Normal team in the first rank with the teams of this sec tion of the state. Everybody who saw the game can truly say that for team work, as well as for individual playing, the game was as good as they had ever seen. The game was played in three 15 minule innings. The Pittston men are large, strong looking fellows, and one could see that a hot contest would be in order. Davenport was too much for his oppqnent and almost always succeed ed in forcing the ball into Pittston's territory. This was a dangerous moment for the opponents, for Detwiler or Moore usually got the ball and by the most skillful dodging and passing would get several throws at the basket before their opponents could get it ovet the line. When it went to the other end it fared no better for Harrar and Worthington played all around their men and gave them no chance at get ting a goal. Young and Davenport had hard luck for they both by fine playing got many throws at the basket but just missed scoring each time. Fox made some long passes for the basket but like the other center men failed to s;ore. With the divided floor the centers do not have so good a chance to throw baskets. The game was won by good hard playing by a score of 13 2. SCORE BY INNINGS. Time. Distance. By whom. 2lmin. On foul. Detwiler, N. 3i " " Blackburn, P. Si 11 4 " Blackburn, P. Field 10 ft.

A FRATERNAL VISIT. Last Saturday evening was a red letter one in the history of the Odd Fellows of Benton. Van Camp lodge of this place decided to visit them, and hence chartered a train from the Bloomsburg and Sullivan Railroad Company. At Orangeville they were joined by a large delegation from the lodge at that place. They were met at the station at Benton by the local lodge and escorted to the McHenry House where an elegant supper had been prepared, to which they did justice as only hungry Odd Fellows are able. Nothing odd about their manner of eating, but it was remarked by a bystander, that the only odd thing about it was that there was any thing left. They then repaired to the lodge room, where an interesting session was held. They returned home fully satisfied that it was a trip which paid. That Prize Fight. Saturday evening it was rumored on the streets that one of the pugilists of this place was to fight to a finish a man from Danville at Buckhorn. As the matter was kept as quiet as possi ble, only a few were let into the particulars of the affair and these were taken to the Dlace in a hack. We are informed that the fight as adver tised ciiu not come ofi, but there was considerable scrapping between the Danville and Bloom parties. The authorities at Buckhorn had been in formed of the proposed " mill " and were prepared for themvwhen they put in an appearance. For their prompt action in preserving the peace, and maintaining the law they are to be commended by all the citizens of this county. Pugilists of National reputation are obliged to dodge the peace officers all over the country, and it would be a queer state of affairs indeed if prue fighting was peimitted in Columbia County. . WHAT HU8TLINO WILL ACCOMPLISH. Through the energy of J. K. Lsckard the Bloomsburg Car company build five cars complete In twelve hours. Some time ago the Bloomsburg Car Manufacturing Company, through the efforts of J. K. Lockard, secured an otder tor the construction of a large number of 60000 pounds gondola cars. In order to hold it it was abso lutely necessaiy that a certain number of them be completed by a certain time. Owing to the size of the cars it was difficult to procure the lumber required in their construction. He telegraphed and telephoned to Milton, Berwick, Philadelphia and Baltimore but without success, and finally through the kindness of Mr. Halstead of the D. L. & W. Rail Road Com pany, was furnished the large timbers necessary for the construction of five of them. The timber was unloaded from the cars, and in twelve hours from that time it was all run through the machinery and the cars com pleted including two coats of paint, and on their way to their desti nation. The lumber used in the building of the remaining ones was ordered from Georgia and it did seem as though the fates had conspired against the company. The train was in a wreck and everything that possi bly could occur to detain the delivery of the lumber did happen ; but here Mr. Lockard again displayed his in domitable will. For three days and nights he worked without rest, or even removing his clothing, but now he has the satisfaction of knowing that per severance will win. The remainder of the order is being constructed as rapidly as possible, and this one event more than perhaps any other has con vinced the outside world of the possi bilities of Bloom:burg as a manufac turing centre. With all this, Mr. Lockard is modest, and says that had it not been for the hearty co operation of his employees it would have been impossible to accomplish this work. We might mention in connection with this to show the popularity of the work of the establishment, the fact that they have received an order for a lot of gondolas to go to Gautemala, and a large order for Mr. Lockard's rotary dump car for Central America. In addition to all this they are build ing trucks for the Jackson & Sharp Co. The people of Bloomsburg have reason to congratulate themselves up on the establishment of a plant in their midst like the Bloomsburg Car Co. Trinity Reformed Church Notes.

Song Service at the T. M. U. A. The service of song at the Young Men's Christian Association rooms last Sunday afternoon was largely at tended, and every one who was present came away feeling that the hour had been spent in a pleasant and profitable manner. The service was in charge of the Lutheran choir and they ac quitted themselves in a very creditable manner, the quartettes of Mrs. Hall, Miss Miller, Messrs Williams and Traub being especially fine.

" A Night's Frolic" as produced in the Opera House Monday evening' was a failure. Celie Ellis as Captain Kate, was good, but her support was far below the average. The only redeeming feature ot the entertainment was the music rendered by C. P. Elwell's orchestra. It was unusually fine. The elocutionary, delsarte and musical entertainment given by Miss Anna Dunkel of Boston College of oratory, and Miss Maude Cohilt of this place at the Catawissa Opera House last Friday evening was a complete success and was greatly ap preciated by a good sized and critical audience. Several of the ladies of this place attended the entertainment and spoke very highly of it. Miss Dunkel has a large class in this place. C. A. Sisson, of La Plume, died at his home last week, resulting from an injury received by a fall about a week ago. He was 69 years of age, and had always been healthy and vigorous. He will be well remembered here by all who have attended the farmers' institutes during a number of years past, as a delightful singer of whom the people never get tired, and who always found great pleasure in enter taining them. This world could be made better, if we would exercise more magnani mity in our judgment of other peo ple's motives, and by devoting our selves to accomplishment of some fixed object, ambitious or otherwise, which will give scope to latent quali ties and develop new ones, hence tending to break down prejudice by self enlargement. By silencing the unkind criticism which may be pro voked and ever deserved. By recount ing the good rather than the bar; even of those inimical to us. The Brass and Copper works re cently purchased a new shaft weighing fifteen tons, and it was shipped over the Pennsylvania railroad and came to the East Bloomsburg station. Samuel Neyhard was engaged to bring it from the station to the works. It was loaded on two large wagons to which six horses were attached. In coming out of the river bridge both wagons broke down and deposited the shaft on the ground. As soon as a wagon can be procured it will be con veyed to the plant. in iiUl
