The case arises out of the Lenilian Cain contest over the The Important Topic Among clothing buyers now ia where to buy cheapest and besr. We've not always given values like the present, couldn't afford to; but with alterations contemplated, the taking in of the Jones & Walter store and stock on January 1st. next, and masons' and carpenters' work staring us in the face, it is highly necessary that we should have plenty of room.

She was married to Dr. McKelvy on December 25th, 1851, and her whole married life was spent hcie. She was a communicant of St. Paul's Protestant Episcopal Church, and for a long time she was one of the most earnest and active of the members of that church. As Presi dent of the Ladies Sewing Society she kept that organization in active operation for many years and did much woik in helping the church, and rendering assistance to the poor. But her health failed, and she was obliged to relinquish her labor, and for many ) ears she had been ao invalid. Though suffering from disease, she was still able to give much of her time to her household duties and her family. She was one of those devoted women who seem to take pleasure in constantly doing some thing for the comfort and happiness of others. Iler faithful at tendance upon the wants of her blind and aged father for some years before his death was an example of filial devotion that will long be remember ed, and that is well worthy of emula- tion. She was a woman of loving and loveable disposition, of a noble chris tian character, and patient always under her afflictions. Most of the friends of her girlhood days have pass ed away, but there are very many of the younger generations who will miss ner, and who will remember her as a woman whose desire to do good was limited only by her physical infirmities. Though unable in recent years to attend church, she never lost her inter est in its welfare, and her faith in her Redeemer continued steadfast unto her life's end. Her last illness came upon her two weeks ago Sunday, and she continued to grow weaker until pneumonia set in with fatal result. The funeral services will be held at the house this Thursday afternoon at fcur o'clock, and will be conducted by Rev. I). N. Kirkby, rector of St. Paul's Church. The remains will be buried in the family plot in Rosemont. BLOOMSBURG ING CAR MANUFAOTUR- COMPANY.

Cain were the candidates. and the returns in writing gave Lena han a majority of ac votes. When the return judges met in Centralia to compute the vote, a crowd gathered, ana mere was ereat excitement. Doyle is said to have been the leader of the mob, and succeeded in getting mree ot the five judges to sign a cer tificate of election for Cain, his candi date, by intimidating them. An elec tion contest was started by Lenihan, and during the progress of the case before commissioner N. U. Funk it was proven that the figures in the returns had been chanced in Cain's favor, and the decision was in favor ol Lenihan, but Judge Metzger over ruled this finding of the commissioner. In tebruary 1897 Doyle and Gillespie were arrested on the charge of chang ing the returns, in the Prothonotary's ottice on February 22, 1895. I he case occupied all day and a night session was held. The defense ottered no evidence, and argued to the jury that no case had been proven. lhe Judge charged the jury and they were sent out at 0 o clock, and did not agree until 5 o'clock in the morn ing. At 9 o'clock court opened, and the jury came in with a sealed ver dict. They found the defendants guilty, with a recommendation to the mercy of the court. A motion wa- made for a new trial, reasons to be filed in 4 days, and the recognizances of the defendants were taken in the sum of $500 for their appearance at next term. KILLED HIS BROTHER. Urban Ale, aged about ten years, accidentally shot and instantly killed his little brother, Alva, aged eight years, while playing with his father's nun at their home in realertown, a small town a few miles above Urange- ville. on Thursday morning of last week. The parents of the children Mr. and Mrs. Nevin Ale had just left the house to attend to some work and during their absence the young son procured the gun it is said with the intention of shooting birds. The load took effect in the boy's face and neck, and he died in a few minutes. Since writing the above we have heard a rumor that the shooting was not an accident, but that a tramp had committed it. Whether or not the latter is correct we are not able to say. MARRIED IN COURT. John Dryling and Mary Wertz were married in court on Monday alter- noon, Judge rox reading the cere mony.
